Wes Davis holds down The Verge on weekends, reporting on everything tech and entertainment under the sun. He loves fixing what is (and ain’t) broke with gadgetry and smart home tech, and came to The Verge from the freelance Wi-Fi router review world.
When he’s not writing tech news, Wes is cycling (transportation, not racing), gaming, or recording music nobody should listen to. You can find him most places under the username "blunderchief."

As seen in MacRumors, iOS 18 beta testers can set a new Siri wake word using Vocal Shortcuts, a new accessibility feature. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Vocal Shortcuts > Set Up Vocal Shortcuts, then find and tap “Siri” to try it.
It won’t work with HomePods. And your iPhone won’t acknowledge it unless you pause after saying the word. That’s good; otherwise, you learn just how frequently you say a word like “computer.”
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, who’s been on the International Space Station since March, seems to enjoy sharing his camera settings. For the picture of the Boeing Starliner below, he followed up:
