Over 30 years later, a rare LaserDisc game console gets its first PC emulator

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-22 13:57:19

Here in the year 2025, it's not every day that a classic gaming console from the 20th century becomes playable via emulation for the first time. But that's just what happened last week with the release of Ares v146 and its first-of-its-kind support for Mega LD titles designed for the Pioneer LaserActive. Even retro console superfans would be forgiven for not knowing about the LaserActive, a pricey LaserDisc player released in 1994 alongside swappable hardware modules that could add support for

Here’s why Apple’s cheapest iPad is actually the most practical model

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-22 17:52:00

As a techie, it’s easy to get caught up in the trap of buying the most expensive devices with the most features. And, for the most part, it’s still a problem. That said, I recently made the decision to switch to Apple’s cheapest iPad, the budget model with an A16 chip. I’m pleasantly surprised with how incredibly useful it truly is – while costing less than a third of an iPad Pro. iPadOS 26 I’ve mentioned it in passing before, but iPadOS 26 sort of ruined how I use my iPad.

Samsung's Trifold Phone and AI Glasses Reportedly Set for Sept. 29 Launch

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-22 16:51:52

Is three better than two? Apparently, we're about to find out again. Samsung will reportedly launch its Galaxy Z TriFold in South Korea on Sept. 29 in its third Unpacked event of 2025. At the same time, the company will introduce its Project Moohan mixed reality headset and AI smart glasses. If Samsung does indeed unleash the Galaxy Z TriFold later this month, it would be the second triple-screen phone in existence. Huawei last year rolled out its Mate XT in China, and we kinda sorta liked it.

Tesla’s fourth ‘Master Plan’ reads like LLM-generated nonsense

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-10-22 17:18:12

Tesla has published its fourth so-called “Master Plan,” and at a high level it is about how the company wants to lead the charge into planet-wide adoption of humanoid robots and sustainable energy. But the post lacks an important building block of plans: specifics. Even CEO Elon Musk agrees. In one of his only posts about the plan since it was published on Monday — sandwiched in between a steady stream of transphobia and immigration panic — he agreed it was fair to criticize the lack of specif

Tesla's latest 'Master Plan' isn't a mission statement, it's a discursive mess

Tesla has released part four of its so-called "Master Plan" in a post on X. Unlike the more focused " Secret Tesla Motors Master Plan ," which outlined concrete plans for future products, this "Master Plan Part IV" reads more like a rambling utopic fever dream that was partly written by Grok, while touching on Tesla's AI-powered products.

Amazon will sell you the Samsung S25 Edge for $400 off right now - it's lowest price ever

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung took the hard road when it launched the ultra-thin and lightweight Galaxy S25 Edge back in May. The phone had a mere 3,900mAh battery (not enough to be considered "diabolical," as the teens would say, but barely able to last a full day), lacked a dedicated telephoto lens, and demanded a $1,100 price tag. Unless wrist strain was your biggest issue with using smartphones, the S25 Edge just felt out of place. Also: The best Android phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewe

Tesla Dojo: the rise and fall of Elon Musk’s AI supercomputer

For years, Elon Musk has spoken of the promise of Dojo, the AI supercomputer that was supposed to be the cornerstone of Tesla’s AI ambitions. It was important enough to Musk that in July 2024, he said the company’s AI team would “double down” on Dojo in the lead-up to Tesla’s robotaxi reveal, which happened in October. After six years of hype, Tesla decided last month to shut down Dojo and disband the team behind the supercomputer in August 2025. Within weeks of projecting that Dojo 2, Tesla’s

Elon Musk doesn’t want Tesla to be just an automaker. He wants Tesla to be an AI company, one that’s figured out how to make cars drive themselves. Crucial to that mission was Dojo, a custom-built supercomputer designed by Tesla to train its Full Self-Driving (FSD) neural networks. FSD isn’t actually fully self-driving; it can perform some automated driving tasks, but still requires an attentive human behind the wheel.

If Tesla was hoping that decent sales in China might boost the company's fast-diminishing profits, it was a forlorn hope. For the second month in a row, the automaker has experienced a year-on-year decrease in sales in China. According to Reuters, Tesla's sales dropped by 4 percent in August compared to the same month in 2024. That's not quite as dire as July, where it saw Chinese sales decrease by 8.4 percent.
