Brady Corbet’s 3.5-hour saga is a tale of one man’s journey through architecture and assimilation — and one of the year’s best films. The director tells The Verge how he got away with it.

With rumors of Nvidia entering the CPU market, 2025 might be an even bigger year for Microsoft’s Arm efforts. By Tom Warren, a senior editor and author of Notepad, who has been covering all things Microsoft, PC, and tech for over 20 years. I still can’t quite believe that I’m using an Arm-powered Windows laptop every day. After more than a decade of trying to make Windows on Arm a reality, Microsoft and Qualcomm finally nailed it this year with Copilot Plus PCs. These new laptops have excellent battery life and great performance — and the app compatibility issues that have plagued Windows on Arm are mostly a thing of the past (as long as you’re not a gamer). Microsoft wanted 2024 to be “the year of the AI PC,” but I think it was very much the year of Windows on Arm. If 2024 was anything to...

E-Reader Reviews Amazon’s finally added a key feature to the Scribe, but it has a long way to go before it’s actually useful. By Sheena Vasani, a writer covering commerce, e-readers, and tech news. She previously wrote about everything from web development to AI at Inside. My high school English teacher drilled into my head that there was a proper way to read a book: “If you’ve read a book without taking notes, you’ve not read it at all.” She had a point — taking notes helps me engage with the material in a much deeper way than just reading. Nowadays, I am incapable of reading anything without writing down my thoughts, and my Notes app is a cluttered disaster as a result. But it’s distracting to pull up a separate app every time I want to jot down a note and hard to find those notes later....
