Pricing May Doom Asus’ Xbox Ally Handheld Before It Even Gets a Fair Shot

There hasn’t been any truly new Xbox console hardware in five years. Instead, the first real novel Xbox device isn’t made by Microsoft at all. Asus is designing a new handheld that looks like an Xbox controller split in half with an added screen. While Microsoft has reportedly delayed its own first-party handheld PC, it will need to rely on hardware partners like Asus to push its grand new vision for Xbox hardware. If Microsoft wants it to be a success, it needs to ensure people can actually aff

Travel Mugs, Nonstick Pans and More Items That Don't Belong in the Dishwasher

Whether you're learning the ropes of a brand-new dishwasher or you've been hands-free dishwashing for years, it's tempting to load it up and let it rip. It's summer -- you've got better things to do than babysit a sink full of dirty silverware. But before you start stacking every spatula and chef's knife onto the racks, take a beat. Your dishwasher's high heat and aggressive cycles can do more harm than good to certain kitchen tools. Warping, rusting, cracking and dulling are all fair game -- e

11 Things I'll Never Put in the Dishwasher Again (and Neither Should You)

Whether you're breaking in a brand-new dishwasher or you've been riding the sudsy automation wave for years, the temptation is real: Just toss it all in and let the machine handle the mess. After all, it's summer -- you've got better things to do than stand over the sink scrubbing spoons. But before you go loading up the racks with wild abandon, it's worth hitting pause.

Google’s answer to Apple’s Handoff is coming with a welcome upgrade for Android (Updated)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on an Android-wide “Handoff” feature for multi-device syncing.

I’d give everything for a pre-configured Android gaming handheld

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority Retro gaming handhelds have come a long way in the past few years, but there’s still one big sticking point: the setup. Every time a new handheld comes in for review, I have to spend hours installing emulators, fixing folder structures, and configuring a frontend. Once that’s done, I still have to configure settings and shaders for each console individually, which requires arcane knowledge in popular emulators like RetroArch. Compared to Linux-based handheld

This New Watch Is Being Purpose-Built for Space Exploration—and It's Not an Omega

When you think of space exploration and watches, one name immediately comes to mind: Omega. Since its Speedmaster chronograph was selected by NASA half a century ago it has become synonymous with space travel. The timing of a 13-second engine burn to save Apollo 13 cemented its role in space history, and Omega has not missed a single opportunity to deepen the partnership, from officially naming it the Moonwatch to creating endless commemorative limited editions (even if it is by no means the onl

Everybody Needs to Calm Down About the Switch 2 Screen and ‘Ghosting’

My aging, stick drift-wracked original Switch was stacked with a library of games I honestly forgot I owned. The Switch 2, with its bigger, brighter display, has breathed new life into this backlog, and it has become my new excuse to revisit Hades and Kentucky Route Zero. A new batch of naysayers claim the screen isn’t worth playing your older 2D titles on due to reported ghosting issues, but the specs are much more complicated than any not-a-tweet post on X may imply. The Switch 2’s 7.9-inch d
