This Is the Best Gaming Controller for Your PC, and Now It’s 45% Off for Prime Day

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-02-19 20:45:23

You don’t have to use a PlayStation or Xbox controller to play on your computer. Gaming accessories being so trendy, it shouldn’t have been surprising to see Amazon jump in and create its own controller. Now, the Luna wireless controller is maybe the most popular option on the market and for Prime Day, it’s reaching a record-low price. This deal is exclusive to Prime members, so if you’re not already subscribed, you’ll need to take advantage of Amazon’s 30-day free trial to access the offer. Cu

Jack Dorsey working on Bluetooth messaging app, Bitchat

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2026-02-19 18:26:26

Block CEO and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey wrote in an X post on Sunday night that he spent his weekend creating an app called Bitchat (presumably a combination of the words “bit” and “chat,” and not the other combination of words that it looks like). Bitchat is a messaging app that operates through Bluetooth mesh networks, allowing users to send messages without Wi-Fi or cell reception. Because of Bluetooth’s technical limitations, this kind of app generally only works at a range of around 1

ChatGPT is testing a mysterious new feature called ‘study together’

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-02-19 20:53:30

In Brief Some ChatGPT subscribers are reporting a new feature appearing in their drop-down list of available tools called “Study Together.” The mode is apparently the chatbot’s way of becoming a better educational tool. Rather than providing answers to prompts, some say it asks more questions and requires the human to answer, like OpenAI’s answer to Google’s LearnLM. Some also wonder whether it will have a mode where more than one human can join the chat in a study group mode. OpenAI did not r

I'm not losing sleep over Elon Musk's political ambitions

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-19 22:01:16

Just a month after his explosive fallout with Donald Trump, Elon Musk is floating the idea of forming his own political party. In a poll on X, 1.24 million of his followers voted, with 65.4 percent saying they would like to see such a thing happen. The America Party would offer “independence” from a political system Musk says is too focused on “waste & graft.” Like so many things Musk says, it’s not worth paying too much attention to unless he puts his money where his mouth is.

Bluesky has updated its notification settings so that users have more control over when and why the social media app sends them a ping. Besides more granular controls over which things will trigger a notification, you can now receive alerts for any activity from a chosen account. As a fledgling app, Bluesky has lacked the in-depth notification toggles you might find in something like Instagram, which has had over a decade to figure out when people want to be contacted.

The Chinese EV Carmaker That Is Quietly Crushing Tesla

While Tesla’s struggles dominate the headlines, a quieter but more significant story is unfolding: Chinese electric vehicle makers are on a tear. For the second consecutive quarter, Elon Musk’s Tesla has seen its sales decline, a stark contrast to the booming growth reported by rivals like BYD and NIO Inc, who are steadily gaining market share and widening their lead. The second-quarter sales numbers paint a bleak picture for the American EV pioneer. Tesla delivered 384,122 vehicles worldwide,

‘Rick and Morty’ Let Zack Snyder and James Gunn Fight Over Superman

“Ricker Than Fiction,” the latest episode of Rick and Morty, felt in some ways like a throwback to season four episode “Never Ricking Morty,” which similarly interrogated the storytelling process. But instead of a “Story Train” and characters with distressingly overdeveloped abs, we got a “Movie-Lizer” (a Rick invention designed to right the wrongs of the show’s in-universe “Maximum Velocitree” blockbuster franchise) and the distressingly overdeveloped biceps of one Zack Snyder.
