Twelve years ago, I could have told you exactly what happened at my first CES and what happened at my third. Each was a chapter with a beginning, middle, and end; the lines between them drawn clearly. But now, 15 years since I attended my first CES, it’s a lot fuzzier. I know I missed my flight home at that first show. I know I saw a lot of cameras at first, and then progressively fewer cameras over the years. I know there were team dinners and early meetings, but I couldn’...

TikTok will be banned from the US unless either the Supreme Court blocks the law from taking effect before the January 19th deadline or its China-based parent company, ByteDance, finally agrees to sell it. A sale — and r...

Fluffy robots, portable TVs, and vacuums with arms and legs. This is what we come to CES for. There is no other week like CES. Very nearly the entire tech industry descends on Las Vegas to give the world an early look at the inventions and ideas they think will define the year. More new, surprising, exciting, and oftentimes ridiculous ideas are debuted on any given day at CES than during most other weeks of the year. It’s a ton to keep up with — and it’s also a whole lot of fun. The Verge’s team has been on the ground in Nevada to try out the wildest products we can get our hands on. There’s been a lot of stuff we love. A lot of stuff that weirds us out. And a lot of stuff that’s just downright fun to look at. But at the end of the day, some of these ideas and gadgets stuck with us the mos...
