Tesla is launching an Apple Watch app
The Tesla app with phone key is coming to Apple Watch. | Image: Tesla
Tesla is packing some big features into this year’s Holiday Update, including a digital phone key for Apple Watch, Sentry Mode security video access from your phone, reverse cross-traffic alert safety add-in, a “Santa Mode” for Cybertruck, and more.
Tesla’s update will start rolling out next week and will finally bring Apple Watch support to the Tesla app, including native phone key access. That means you can leave your smartphone behind to run errands or quickly pop your trunk to grab something after running outside without realizing you don’t have your phone or wallet on you (I’ve done this too many times with my Model 3 than I care to admit.)
The native Apple Watch experience lets you view the charge status, pop the frunk, and...

"So now that Trump's won the 2024 election with lots of help from some of these Broligarchs and Elon Musk is trying to act like Trump's co-president with plans to eviscerate government through massive cuts. What do you think we're going to see in the next few years in terms of the partnership between the government and the oligarchy?
Brooke Harrington: I see three major public policy changes. One is the increasing prevalence of what you might call representation without taxation, which is just the set of Broligarchs not being subject to the law in the way that the rest of us are, and yet having the ear of the president, or better yet, dictating terms to the president or being deputized by the president to slash federal agencies, to slash federal budgets without any of the accountability that we're used to seeing even under Republican administrations. mean, no vetting, no elected office. It's just, you know, by fiat, King Trump says: “I'm delegating the dismantling of the federal government to these guys I like for now.” ...
They will probably go a ways in pushing women out of public life, especially if they succeed in doing away with the Department of Education. Anyone who has a child, who has any sort of learning disability, any kind of disability at all, the Department of Education is the part of the government that requires public schools to accommodate those kids. And if there's no more Department of Education, no more accommodations, they're expensive. So what happens to those kids? They're probably gonna go home into the care of their mothers, who will have to quit their jobs to take care of them. ...
And finally, most alarming to me, although I'm plenty alarmed about the other two things: The one policy change that makes me feel like I'm tied to the tracks and watching a freight train bear down on me is the shenanigans they want to get up to with crypto and the finances of the US government. ...
Gil Duran: That's been one thing that's been very concerning and sort of shocking to me is the degree to which no one is telling Americans what crypto is really about. Even as it becomes obvious that crypto is largely a scam that's being used for crimes and Americans have lost billions and billions of dollars to crypto scammers. think it was $5.7 billion last year alone. And yet you have even democratic politicians lining up to be supporters of crypto and portray it as a very important part of the future."

Bose’s fantastic SoundLink Max is finally the right price for Cyber Monday
Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge
I had a lot of positive things to say about Bose’s SoundLink Max when I tested the portable Bluetooth earlier speaker this year, and that praise was universal from other reviewers as well. But there was one main hangup: the price.
At its usual retail cost of $399, Bose’s flagship Bluetooth speaker gets lumped into a very competitive crowd and isn’t far off from more advanced products like the Sonos Move 2 and much larger party speakers. Even if you put those alternatives aside, it’s a lot of money to spend on a Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t offer any smarts, lacks audio playback over Wi-Fi, and has no AirPlay / Chromecast compatibility to speak of.
But as is often the case, when you slash the price by $100, it’s much easier to make an...

Intel’s CEO is out after only three years
Image: Laura Normand / The Verge
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired after over four decades at the company and stepped down from the board of directors effective December 1st, 2024. Gelsinger rejoined Intel as CEO in February 2021, taking over from Bob Swan to turn around the already struggling chipmaker — an effort that hasn’t gone as planned. It’s largely missed out on the AI chip boom that fueled Nvidia’s rise, failed to launch new technology on schedule, and struggled with recent CPU instability issues.
While recent rumors had suggested that Qualcomm was considering an acquisition of Intel, that prospect appears to have cooled. When asked about the potential deal on November 20th, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said the company has “not identified any large...

The free-to-play mobile game shut down on November 28th after launching seven years ago, and Nintendo had plans to launch a new version that would allow players to transfer their campgrounds to a new app that cuts out the microtransactions but requires a one-time paid fee. Originally slated to launch on December 3rd, the paid app — called Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete — is available now on both iOS and Android, for a launch price of $9.99.
The new version is largely the same as the original, and will still feature seasonal events and all of the other content from the base game. The biggest changes are the welcome removal of microtransactions and the...

Carlos Tavares is stepping down as Chief Executive Officer of Stellantis, effective immediately, following a sharp decline in the carmaker’s sales. As the Wall Street Journal notes, in July, the company reported that its net profit for the first half of the year had dropped by 48 percent compared to 2023.
The resignation comes over a year earlier than Tavares’ planned retirement in early 2026. In a statement, Stellantis senior independent director Henri de Castries said that “different views have emerged” between Tavares and the Stellantis board of directors in recent weeks that drove the decision. A special board committee headed by Stellantis chairman John Elkann will lead the company behind brands like Vauxhall, Jeep, Fiat, Dodge,...

For someone who wants to spend the absolute least on a phone and not have to think about buying another one for a good long while, I’ll always recommend Google’s A-series Pixel phone. That’s doubly true now with the Pixel 8A on a $100 discount for Black Friday-ish Cyber Shopping Holiday or whatever it is we’re currently experiencing. The 8A is a solid value at its full $499 price, and cut down to $399 it’s a ridiculously good deal.
Here’s the kicker: Google is promising to update the Pixel 8A with OS version upgrades and security releases through May 2031. That means you can expect it to run Android 21. If you bought the 8A now for $400 and owned it for six years, that works out to $66 per year. You’d have to use a $1000 flagship phone...

Gamers Nexus claims NZXT’s Flex PC rental program is a ‘scam’
NZXT’s Player: Three prebuilt gaming PC. | Image: NZXT
An hour-long video published Saturday by Gamers Nexus, a YouTube channel focused on PC gaming hardware, accuses NZXT’s PC rental program of “bait-and-switch” tactics, with prices and specs that are constantly changing.
The Flex program allows customers to rent prebuilt gaming PCs starting at $59 per month (not including a mouse, keyboard, or monitor). But Gamers Nexus shows that NZXT changes the specs and prices of PC models “day-to-day in some instances” and offers PCs with very different setups under similar model names depending on whether you are looking to buy or rent. The rapidly changing prices also obscure the potential value of listed “discounts” as the packages shift back and forth.

Thankfully, many robot vacuums are at all-time low prices for Cyber Monday, including the Eufy X10 Pro Omni. It’sone of our favorite midrange mopping robot vacuums, and it’s down to $549.99 (from $800) at Amazon and Eufy’s store with code WS24T2351. It’s a good deal already at its regular price, and at $250 off, it’s even more compelling.

Intel is expected to release a pair of entry-level Battlemage GPUs this week, and now marketing materials posted by reliable leaker Roland Quandt show what we might see from the lower-specced Arc B570. The leaked materials, which have details for a dual-fan ASRock Arc B570 Challenger OC GPU, suggest that the new chip may feature 18 Xe2 cores and 10GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 160-bit memory bus.
The leak also indicates that Intel’s Arc B570 chip could come with the 8-pin PCIe power connector and a 2.6GHz GPU clock, along with support for HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1.

The 'Chinese Exclusion Era' shows how Trump's mass deportation plan could unfold
Donald Trump promises to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants once he returns to the White House. If he follows through, the scale of it would be unlike anything we've seen in our lifetimes.Many supporters of Trump's mass deportation agenda say expelling unauthorized immigrants will help the US economy. But a look back at America's first major immigration crackdown suggests otherwise.On this episode, host Adrian Ma and his colleagues from NPR's The Indicator podcast look at that immigration crackdown during the 'Chinese Exclusion Era,' and the economic impact it had on the West. For a deeper dive into the economic history of the Chinese Exclusion Era, check out the latest installments of Planet Money's newsletter. In Part One, NPR's Greg Rosalsky covers the economic circumstances that led to a populist anti-Chinese movement. In Part Two, he explains the ways (both legal and extralegal) that movement succeeded in driving Chinese immigrants away from the U.S. and the economic fallout that ensued.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Starting today, I'm on a quest to make a… pomegranate dusting sugar. What's that? Something looking like granulated sugar of red color, to dust over whipped cream on top of a cup of festive hot chocolate.

I should be clear that I admire and respect people who set up Fediverse servers and let strangers join. That is an amazingly generous and thoughtful thing to do. People who take on this and other tasks for running Fediverse servers deserve our gratitude and support.
