Roblox is facing accusations that it lied to investors about the number of people who use the platform. In a report published on Tuesday, the investment firm Hindenburg Research claims Roblox is “consistently overstating the amount of people on its platform by 25 percent to 42 percent or more.” Roblox, which went public in 2021, reported having 79.5 million daily active users in its most recent earnings report. However, Hindenburg claims Roblox “intentionally conflates” actual people with daily users, as that number could also include alt accounts and bots. The research alleges that Roblox can separate alt accounts from single users, even though the company’s disclosure says daily active users “are not a measure of unique individuals...

What is a photo? No, like really. What is a photo? What is a photo? What is a photo? What is a photo? When you tap the shutter button on your phone, and it grabs nearly a dozen frames out of a cache that was capturing data well before you pressed anything, then stitches together the “best” bits of each one before allowing you to edit everything about all of them, is any of that process you taking a photo? And in a world where AI is good enough to make everything look good, does it even matter? When you ask the question enough times, it becomes the size of the universe — and we’ve definitely asked the question enough times to get there. On this episode of The Vergecast, we dig into the question again from two different angles. First, we...

While making a grilled cheese the other day, a question popped into my mind: Why is cheese often yellow even though milk is white? Of course, this isn’t entirely true across the (cheese) board — cheese comes in a remarkable range of colors, from pale white to deep yellow-orange. Take cheddar, for instance — it can be found in both shades. So which color is the “real” cheese? To unravel this mystery, I sat down with Paul Kindstedt, former president of the American Dairy Science Association and a professor emeritus at the University of Vermont. Our conversation spanned over an hour, delving into the fascinating history of cheese, its evolving colors, and the marketing influences that have shaped our perceptions.  In the latest Vox video, we dive into it all, shedding light on the surprising connections between color, culture, and the art of cheesemaking — all in less than seven minutes.

Alienware’s next best attempt at a gaming headset goes back to basics. It has solid audio, but it may be looking too much to the past.

The next time you scroll through your Instagram and Facebook feed, you might see a video ad edited with AI. That’s because Meta is testing new AI video editing capabilities that will allow advertisers to animate an image as well as expand the borders of a video. With the AI animation tool, advertisers can upload a static image and then use Meta’s tool to “generate” a video. As seen in this example, Meta’s AI tool makes the strawberries in the background slowly float around the jar. The new tools can also make an existing video larger. It uses AI to generate “unseen pixels in each video frame” to increase its size, sort of like how some AI image editing...

Apple recommends removing the iPhone 16’s battery, which is held in place with a new electrically debondable adhesive, by using a 9V battery and some alligator clips. iFixit’s new USB-powered VoltClip is an alternative tool that eliminates the need for a disposable battery, while also potentially speeding up the debonding process. The VoltClip, available now for $10.95 through iFixit’s online store, features a pair of alligator clips attached to short wires on one end and a 12V DC adapter on the other that converts a barrel connector to a USB-C port. When plugged into a device that supports USB-C...

As expected, Amazon is offering some great discounts on its own devices as part of its October Prime Day event — including e-readers like the note-taking Kindle Scribe, which is down to $254.99 ($85 off) at Amazon. However, the Kindle deal that really stands out is on the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. Normally $169.99, right now, it’s down to just $114.99 ($55 off) at Amazon, which is $5 shy of its best price to date. If you want a Kindle Paperwhite without ads, you’d typically have to pay $169.99 for the privilege. Thankfully, though, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids offers a way around that, making it a great e-reader for the whole family. Despite being marketed for children, the kid-friendly device boasts all the same features we loved in the...

Two scientists credited with laying the “foundation of today’s powerful machine learning,” University of Toronto professor emeritus Geoffrey Hinton and Princeton University professor John Hopfield, were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics today. Their discoveries and inventions laid the groundwork for many of the recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, the Nobel committee at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. Since the 1980s, their work has enabled the creation of artificial neural networks, computer architecture loosely modeled after the structure of the brain. By mimicking the way our brains make connections, neural networks allow AI tools to essentially “learn by example.” Developers can train an artificial neural...
