Image: AeroGarden AeroGarden, which produces smart indoor planters with built-in grow lamps that work with a connected app, recently announced that it will shutter its business starting on January 1st next year, Ars Technica reported. The company, which was acquired by Scott’s Miracle-Gro in 2020, says it will update users later on the “longer-term status” of its app, which lets users monitor water levels and set lighting schedules. For now, AeroGarden only says the app will work for “an extended period of time.” Owners can still control its smart garden gadgets without the app “as described in the user manual” for their specific product. (For instance, the Bounty Wi-Fi offers a touchscreen control panel.) Even so, Wi-Fi-enabled software features are a... Continue reading…

UK retailer John Lewis is already selling the new Amazon Kindles. | Image: John Lewis Amazon hasn’t officially announced the next generation of its Kindle e-readers yet, but following leaks of several models, the UK retailer John Lewis was already selling the 12th-gen entry-level Kindle and the new Kindle Kids Edition through its website earlier today, as spotted by Good e-Reader. Both listings have since been taken down.

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge YouTube is rolling out new labels that tell if uploaded videos come from a real camera with unaltered footage and sound. The new “captured with a camera” label can be seen in action courtesy of digital content authentication service Trupic, which uploaded a video to its channel, triggering the disclosure in the video description panel. Trupic says it has the “first authentic video with C2PA Content Credentials on YouTube.” YouTube is leaning on the C2PA standard to detect the authenticity of uploaded videos, meaning the feature will work only with recording devices and tools that support the metadata. The site’s help page for the new feature says the label “signifies that the creator used specific technology to verify their video’s... Continue reading…

Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photo from Getty Images The Federal Communications Commission is officially looking into broadband data caps and their impact on consumers. On Tuesday, the FCC approved a notice of inquiry to examine whether data caps harm consumers and competition, as well as why data caps persist “despite increased broadband needs” and the “technical ability to offer unlimited data plans,” as spotted earlier by Engadget. Many internet plans come with a data cap that limits how much bandwidth you can use each month. If you go over the data cap, internet service providers will typically charge an extra fee or slow down your service. The FCC first started inviting consumers to comment on broadband data caps last June, hundreds of which you can now read on the agency’s website. Y... Continue reading…

As with seemingly every other service we use, cell phone bills have been creeping up in recent years. Other than switching carriers, there aren't many ways to lower your bill, which is why this new Verizon discount uncovered on Reddit is so intriguing. This week, Reddit user gramj_fw took to the Verizon subreddit to share a discovery. While they weren't able to replicate the trick of turning off Number Lock for a few weeks to prompt Verizon to offer them a discount, they found a different method. If you want to replicate the procedure, here's what you need to do: Open the My Verizon app on your smartphone. Scroll down and tap on your device. Scroll down to the Device Management section and tap Number Transfer Pin. When the user tapped on the button to generate a transfer pin to potentially switch to a different carrier, a pop-up appeared in the app. That took them to the app's offers page, where they were offered $10 off per line per month for 12 months. They repeated this process for all five lines on their account and then called Verizon at *611 to confirm the changes. Their phone bill ended up dropping from $230 per month to $180 per month. "Just got off the phone with Verizon *611 and the agent found more discounts above and beyond the $10 loyalty discount," one Redditor wrote. "And I asked if she could waive my $35 upgrade fee and she put in a request to do that as well. It never hurts to ask!" "I went ahead and made a PIN transfer number, and lo and behold the next morning got an email congradulating me on my discount. I wasn't able to get through on 611, so just started a support chat on the website and BAMMO! Done!" said another. There's no guarantee that this will work for every Verizon customer, but it's worth a shot.

From northeastern France’s Alsace region, bordering Germany, a 5.5 hectares site called Pfulgriesheim has yielded ancient remnants and structures dating back thousands of years—from the Late Neolithic period all the way to the Early Middle Ages. Subject of an extensive excavation ahead of planned urban development, the site has turned out to be a rich bowl of human activity, with one of the more exciting discoveries being a Late Neolithic period storage system, made of large silos dug into the loess-rich soil! Sea Monsters in the Desert? Remains of Cuddly Sea Cow Discovered in Egypt Medieval Village with Human Remains Discovered in Northern Spain Deep Silos: Funereal Purposes These deep silos, some reaching up to 2 meters (6.56 feet), were very well-preserved, serving as storage spaces for food and other vital resources. Organized into distinct groups, spaced a few meters apart, the silos exist at a level of mystery for the researchers: this is because there is no clear evidence of associated buildings found, and thus, the presence of large quantities of burnt adobe inside some of the silos suggests the possibility of nearby structures that may have once been part of a settlement, reports Institut National de Recherches Archéologiques Préventives (INRAP).

Three weeks before the 2024 presidential election, a potential October surprise looms over a race that polls show is too close to call.

CBS News is under fire for the second time in two weeks after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., accused the mainstream news network of selectively editing out 5 minutes of his answers from a pre-taped interview that aired over the weekend.
