Work anywhere

Have you wondered how to live and work as a digital nomad in the places you want to be — not have to be? Do you want to be better prepared for the next power outage, lower your energy bills and become more self-sufficient, or stay connected and comfortable even when traveling through remote locations? We’ve got your back.

Here at The Verge, we can help you work from your living room, van, Airbnb, or anywhere that brings you joy. We can help you choose the right laptop, water filter, solar generator, portable A/C and fridge, and everything else that helps restore balance to the finite days we share.

Pausing Starlink RV subscriptions is a great cost-saving feature.

Starlink can be expensive, but for me, paying an average price of €53/mth this year for fast internet from the remote beach where I work and play during the summer is totally worth it (read my review here). When my Starlink RV service is active, it costs €105 each month. But autumn is approaching so I’m closing my surf shack and pausing my subscription until April. With any luck, the price will be reduced again by the time I fire it back up.

Zoom is Slack is Teams is Workspace, and it’s getting boring.

Yes, Zoom is probably smart to go all-in on chat, and try to keep more people in its ecosystem all day. (Also, sorry, changing the name from Zoom Chat to Zoom Teams Chat isn’t going to accomplish... anything.) But I can’t help but be bummed to see Slack, Teams, Zoom and even Google Workspace all basically turning into the same overbearing all-in-one work app. Are there just no more new ideas in this space?
