Here’s what you’ll pay for ANBERNIC’s latest handheld console when sales open this Friday

TL;DR ANBERNIC reveals RG 476H pricing ahead of sales, and it’s good — but could be better. Formally set at $165, you’ll pay just $150 with an instant $15 discount. The manufacturer also confirms specs, which are almost perfectly in line with those of the RG Slide. Smartphones may be our bread and butter, but we are absolute suckers around here for a nice handheld gaming console — so we were understandably very excited earlier this month when we got word about the ANBERNIC RG 476H on the way.

Here’s who is actually using ChatGPT — and how they are using it

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. OpenAI this week released what it says is the largest study yet of how people are using ChatGPT, revealing fresh insights on who is using the technology and what they are using it for. The big surprise was finding out that most ChatGPT chats a

Jesse Eisenberg Hints at Magical Fun Coming in ‘Now You See Me 3’

It’s been almost a decade since the last Now You See Me movie, but the franchise is coming back with a third installment that sees old and new magicians team up for a series of heists. The best part of these movies has always been watching the Horsemen and their friends pull off their seemingly impossible schemes, and according to Jesse Eisenberg, the upcoming movie has some even more fun in store. Eisenberg cryptically told Entertainment Weekly that a “genuinely brilliant, incredibly effectiv

ANBERNIC just put its best screen on a more budget-friendly device

TL;DR The ANBERNIC RG 476H is a new glass-front handheld. The name implies it will have a 4.7-inch screen and Unisoc T820 SoC. Pricing and availability will be announced at a later date. The string of new Android gaming handheld announcements continues, this time with ANBERNIC getting in on the action. Its latest handheld is called the RG 476H, and it might be the best possible combination of the company’s past few handhelds. With an all-glass front, the RG 476H is one of the most modern-loo

Trade in War

In World War II, Britain was fighting for its survival against German aerial bombardment. Yet Britain was importing dyes from Germany at the same time. This sounds curious, to put it mildly. How can two countries at war with each other also be trading goods? Examples of this abound, actually. Britain also traded with its enemies for almost all of World War I. India and Pakistan conducted trade with each other during the First Kashmir War, from 1947 to 1949, and during the India-Pakistan War of

Why countries trade with each other while fighting

Aspiration co-founder to plead guilty to $248M fraud scheme

Sustainability-focused fintech Aspiration was flying high a few years ago, attracting famous investors including Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert Downey Jr. Now, its co-founder will plead guilty to helping perpetuate a $248 million fraud scheme, according to U.S. attorneys. Joseph Sanberg, who was arrested in March, has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of wire fraud, felony counts that could land him in prison for up to 20 years each. “This so-called ‘anti-poverty’ activist has

‘Star Trek’ Star Anson Mount Studied Gene Roddenberry Tapes for His ‘Strange New World’ Homage

While io9 had mixed feelings about last week’s episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, one thing about “A Space Adventure Hour” that worked well was its gleeful recreation of 1960s Hollywood. With a bit of chaotic holodeck assistance, the story saw likenesses of the main cast acting out a murder mystery set behind the scenes of a show that very much resembled the original Star Trek, complete with a nerdy creator that’s clearly a stand-in for Trek‘s own Gene Roddenberry. Admitting the effort w

Legal AI startup Harvey hits $100 million in annual recurring revenue

Artificial intelligence startup Harvey on Monday announced it has reached $100 million in annual recurring revenue, or ARR, just three years after its launch. Harvey runs an AI-powered legal platform for lawyers at law firms and large corporations. Its technology can help with legal research, drafting and diligence projects, and the company is also building industry-specific use cases. Winston Weinberg, co-founder and CEO of Harvey, said the startup's ARR milestone has largely been driven by u

This 4:3 device made me rethink what I actually want from a gaming handheld

ANBERNIC RG 477M The RG 477M has the perfect screen with the enough power to take any retro game to the next level. It's pricey, but it's worth it to make classic games really shine. When I first got into modern emulation handhelds, I always went for horizontal models with a widescreen aspect ratio. Maybe it was just what I came to expect after being conditioned by the PSP and Nintendo Switch, but the squat screens found on most ANBERNIC devices just didn’t appeal to me. That was, until I revi

‘Predator: Badlands’ Came From a Desire to Do Something New, With a Dash of ‘Star Wars’

With Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg did something no one ever thought was possible. He took a beloved franchise, Predator, and flipped it on its head. By giving it a fresh perspective and a new timeline, he took something old and brought it into the now. For his follow-up, he wanted to do that again, but it was difficult. Everyone kind of just wanted Prey 2. “Sometimes when you make a sequel, it’s just part two of the cool thing, not a cool thing in and of itself,” Trachtenberg said recently a

Former NASA Boss Says We May Be Destroying America’s Only Shot at Space

One of the driving personalities behind the Hubble Space Telescope is sounding the alarm on president Donald Trump's disastrous space policy. That former NASA associate administrator for spaceflight is Joe Rothenberg, who warns that the agency's current predicament — mass layoffs and deferred resignations resulting in a loss of 20 percent of its workforce and a complete overhaul of agency culture — may already be too bad to fix. "What is happening at NASA has long term and potentially unrecove

It Sure Sounds Like ‘Alien Vs. Predator’ May Return In the Future

So over here we’ve got new Alien movies and a new Alien TV show. And over there we’ve got new Predator movies expanding that universe. Then, in the upcoming Predator movie, a prominent character is made by Weyland-Yutani, a company at the center of the original Alien film, which also plays a large role in the new Alien movies and TV shows. What the heck is going on here? Friday at San Diego Comic-Con offered fans a rare opportunity to hear from two of the people primarily responsible for major

Retro gaming YouTuber Once Were Nerd sued and raided by the Italian government

TL;DR Retro gaming YouTuber Once Were Nerd has been sued and raided by the Italian government. Consoles were seized and channels may be closed for promoting piracy of copyrighted material. Some of these devices ship with pre-loaded ROMs, which appears to be the source of the complaint. While gaming content continues to grow and thrive on video platforms like Twitch and YouTube, copyright remains a sticky issue. Most companies look the other way when it comes to game streaming, but emulation i

This might be the next must-buy Android gaming handheld, and it’s not a Retroid

TL;DR The ANBERNIC RG 477M is an upcoming handheld with a compact form-factor. If naming conventions hold true, it has a 4.7-inch panel and a Dimensity 8300 chipset. No release dates or pricing have been announced yet. One of the main reasons to buy an Android gaming handheld over a Linux-based one is increased power for PS2 emulation and above. Until recently, only Retroid and a few others offered devices powerful enough for reliable PS2 emulation, but the latest device announced by ANBERNIC

A Century of Quantum Mechanics

Lieber Pauli... Read the translation of the letter sent by Werner Heisenberg to Wolfgang Pauli on 9 July 1925. The original letter is preserved in CERN’s Wolfgang Pauli Archive. (Copyright: Heisenberg Society) Dear Pauli, If you believe that I read your letter laughing mockingly, then you are gravely mistaken; quite the contrary – since Helgoland, my views on mechanics have become more radical with each passing day, and it is my firm conviction that Bohr’s theory of the hydrogen atom, in its pre

Anbernic’s sliding screen handheld might be too chunky and heavy for your pockets

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Anbernic hasn’t officially released or even put its new RG Slide handheld up for preorder yet, but a handful of reviewers have recently shared their first impressions of the new console. Anbernic may be leaning a bit too far into novelty and nostalgia with the RG Slide’s design, while not actually capitalizing on what made devices like the light

ANBERNIC nailed the Xperia Play vibes so hard that fans are demanding an actual phone

TL;DR ANBERNIC revealed the full specs of the RG Slide, with a UNISOC Tiger T820 SoC. The design is heavily inspired by sliding devices like the Xperia Play and PSP Go. Many nostalgic fans comment that they wish the gaming handheld were an actual phone. ANBERNIC seems to have struck a chord with its upcoming RG Slide, but maybe not the one it expected. In a promotional video earlier today, the company revealed the sliding device’s full specs, leaving nothing to the imagination. We already kn
