Kalshi voids some bets on Khamenei’s ouster because it’s ‘directly tied to death’

In a statement on X, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour said his company would pay out positions on "Ali Khamenei out as Supreme Leader?" at the last trading price before his death. Mansour said that Kalshi doesn't "list markets directly tied to death" and that its rules are designed to "prevent people from profiting from death." In addition, Kalshi is refunding fees related to the market and reimbursing anyone who purchased shares after Khamenei's death. Some users have voiced anger at how the situation was handled, claiming that either Kalshi's rules should have been communicated more clearly, or that its markets should have been more narrowly wor … Read the full story at The Verge.

Lego’s Smart Brick is here, and it transforms these new Star Wars sets

Lego's new Smart Brick is a pretty big deal. It packs a miniature computer, a microphone, and NFC tech into a classic 2×4 Lego brick, which can power all sorts of new experiences with select sets. It has so much promise that we awarded it "best in show" at CES 2026, and now, eight Star Wars-themed sets that support the Smart Brick (and include it, in some cases) are now available. Three of them include at least one Smart Brick, along with a charging cradle and cable, while the rest are merely "Smart Play compatible," meaning they're BYOB (bring your own brick). The interactivity of the NFC tags and the smart minifigurs won't be possible unl … Read the full story at The Verge.

Soundcore’s Space 2 are an evolution of its budget headphones

We finally have an update to the Soundcore Space One that launched two and a half years ago. At MWC 2026, Soundcore has announced the Space 2, which will be available in the US on April 21st in three colors - linen white, jet black, and seafoam green - for $129.99. That's $30 more than the Space One's original price. According to Soundcore, the Space 2 have had a full-band noise cancellation upgrade with the focus of those improvements on the low-frequency sounds we all generally use ANC headphones to block - things like airplane, train, and bus engine sounds while traveling. The Space 2 use the same number of microphones as the Space One f … Read the full story at The Verge.

Honor claims its Robot Phone will launch later this year

I saw the camera arm unfold from this demo phone, though it didn’t do much else. Honor has revealed more details of its so-called Robot Phone at MWC 2026, and finally showed a working unit in action alongside a dancing humanoid robot. Specs are still thin on the ground, but the company has confirmed it plans to release the phone in the second half of this year - though I've been told that will only be in China. The Robot Phone doesn't quite live up to the name - really it's a smartphone with a gimbal-stabilized camera arm crammed into the back. Honor has now revealed that the main camera will have a 200-megapixel sensor, and is built into what it says is the smallest 4DoF gimbal system in the industry, though those are … Read the full story at The Verge.

Resident Evil Requiem leans too much on the series’ past

Leon Kennedy, one of the game’s protagonists. Resident Evil turns 30 this year. The series is full of history - the new Resident Evil Requiem is technically the ninth mainline game, but there are a bunch of spinoffs, remakes, movies, and even a TV show - which can make it fun to follow for fans. But it's also intimidating for people like me who haven't played everything. The latest release, Resident Evil Requiem, tries to appeal to both sides by starring a new character, the cowering FBI agent Grace Ashcroft, and a series favorite, action hero Leon Kennedy. Initially, it really works: the first half of Resident Evil Requiem is one of the freshest horror games I've ever played. But as t … Read the full story at The Verge.
