Xbox’s Best and Only Move Left Is to Become a PC

Your next Xbox device, whether it’s a console, handheld, or some other strange, eldritch device with a glowing green “X”, may be a PC in everything but name. Xbox President Sarah Bond told the world this week that it was working on a sequel to the Xbox Series X console. Hell, there is a whole extended “family” of devices bearing the Xbox name currently in the works. The announcement implied more than just new hardware. Microsoft’s whole brand could shift to being more PC-like with a game-themed

Why Microsoft’s next Xbox should just run Windows already

Yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that it's not abandoning the home console market just yet. In a short video teaser, Xbox President Sarah Bond highlighted a "strategic multi-year partnership with AMD" that will include "our next-generation Xbox consoles in your living room and in your hands." But while we know that the "in your hands" part will include devices like the Windows-powered ROG Xbox Ally, there are still few specifics about what exactly Microsoft has planned for its future living room c

NFC is getting a range boost

The next version of the Near Field Communication (NFC) standard aims to make it easier to make payments, pair devices, and unlock doors using your phone or smartwatch. The most notable improvement is a boost to the distance of contactless connections from 0.5cm to 2cm, extending the range by x4. The NFC Release 15 standard update means NFC chips shouldn’t need to be as precisely aligned with terminals to register a connection, which is especially beneficial for users who have to fumble with sma

Waymo has set its robotaxi sights on NYC

Waymo said Wednesday it has applied for a permit to test its autonomous vehicles in New York City, the Alphabet company’s first step in a sticky regulatory process to bring its robotaxis to U.S.’s largest city.

Think of a Number

My feed was recently clogged up with news articles reporting that Sam Altman thinks that AGI is here, or will be here next year, or whatever. I will refrain from giving even more air to this nonsense by linking to the stories. This kind of irresponsible hype-generation drives me nuts (although it also drives up stock prices so I can see why the tech bros are motivated to do it). Sure AI can have a good crack at undergraduate mathematics right now, and sure that’s pretty amazing. But our universi

Framework Laptop 12 review: I’m excited to see what the 2nd generation looks like

"What's this purple laptop? It's cool." Over a decade-plus of doing gadget reviews and review-adjacent things, my wife (and, lately, my 5-year-old) have mostly stopped commenting on the ever-shifting selection of laptops I have in my bag or lying around the house at any given time. Maybe she can't tell them apart, or maybe she just figures there isn't that much to say about whatever black or silver metal slab I'm carrying around. Either way, they practically never elicit any kind of response, u

Some Animal Crossing Lego sets are cheaper than ever

I don’t know about you, but I’ve gotten back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons in a pretty big way since the Switch 2 arrived. I’ve started a new island (the game loads faster and runs better on that console), and I’ve been doing house chores to the relaxing music. The natural progression of my invigorated fandom will likely lead me to buy Lego’s Animal Crossing-themed sets — and what great timing, as some of them are discounted . You can build some of the most iconic landmarks from your islan

Pro-Israel hackers destroy $90 million in Iran crypto exchange breach, analytics firm says

Munich from a Hamburger's Perspective

Over the long weekend, thanks to Whit Monday being a public holiday in Germany, I decided to visit a friend who lives in Munich. I spent about three and a half days there and thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts. I saw a lot during my stay, and since I live in Hamburg, I naturally started comparing the two cities. There are quite a few differences. Before I go into the details, I should mention that I’ve been living in Hamburg for seven years, and this was my first time in Bavar
