I love Star Trek (not you, Lower Decks) but even the best shows have their fair share of silly, dumb, or downright baffling episodes. Sometimes the writers seem to have pulled their plots out of a hat full of words, and then somehow the episode makes it all the way to broadcast.

At the June 2025 WWDC event, Apple unveiled a major and comprehensive overhaul of its entire operating system family across all its devices. One of the most apparent changes is the introduction of "Liquid Glass", which dramatically changes how UI elements look and behave.

Meta's Quest headsets are inarguably the most successful mainstream VR product yet. It took VR from a strong niche product, to something that anyone could afford and enjoy. No PC needed, just put it on and play.

With iPadOS 26, showcased at Apple June 2025 WWDC conference, the popular tablet family is getting one of its biggest overhauls ever. As my most-used computer, I've always strained against the artificial limits placed on Apple's slick and powerful device, but it seems the chains might be coming off.

Sony generally hits it out of the park with its peripherals, and offers them at a fair price, but the announcement of a wireless Sony fight stick has me scratching my head because—who asked for this?

Microsoft has finally shown us a large part of the strategy it's devised to keep Windows on handheld PCs, and combat the threat of SteamOS. It's a plan with many moving parts, it seems, but so far it looks like the right set of moves.

The Switch 2 is backwards compatible with most games from the original Switch, but in these early days that compatibility isn't quite perfect yet. However, even games without explicit Switch 2 patches can benefit from Switch 2 hardware.

It's been a week since I wiped Windows 11 from my Lenovo Legion Go handheld and replaced it with the first official version of SteamOS for handhelds other than the Steam Deck.

As I write this, my own Switch 2 console is still in transit, but many luckier folks than I have had their hands on one for a few days now and the real facts and figures are coming out of the woodwork,

These days, it's pretty much a given that you need a sound bar or some other external audio system for a flat-panel TV, because TV speakers suck!

One of the biggest problems when it comes to treating internal organs is that, well, they're internal. Which means that either treatments have to be traumatically invasive, or medicine has to be pushed through our metabolic pathways, which isn't as efficient and can have unwanted side effects.

Star Trek: The Next Generation is my generation's Trek. It was and remains my favorite series in the franchise, and not too long ago I finally realized my dream of owning the full series remastered on Blu-ray.

I am not a frequent upgrader of my displays, and I have a tendency to keep them around. This means I have a situation where my newest screens tend to end up next to (or close by) my old ones.

SteamOS is having a moment, and if I were the folks working on Windows—the crown jewel of Microsoft—I'd be shaking in my boots right now.

Most of the popular social media platforms have an FYP or "For You Page" that shows you content based on—something? You'll notice that every time you open your social media app of choice it defaults to this feed. The name might be different, but the concept is the same.

I prefer buying physical movies, but due to a mix of rare sales and (most of the time) convenience, I have bought some digital movies on platforms like Apple TV. For now, these movies are safely in my cloud account, but over the last few years, I've been avoiding digital movie purchases, and recently I've decided to stop buying digital movies completely.

When video games came to smartphones, the gaming press and forums were filled with doomsayers, spelling the end of dedicated handheld systems. Products like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PSP were the last of their kind, we were told. Why buy a handheld when you can just whip out the phone you already have?

If you have a Steam Deck, or you've installed SteamOS on another brand of handheld like the Lenovo Legion Go or ASUS ROG Ally, you might have encountered an issue where game downloads to your SD card are painfully slow. Like pre-broadband slow. So what gives?

You might think those little Linux emulation handhelds are limited to playing SNES and PS1 games, but you can effectively turn them into a tiny (and very limited) Steam Deck using PC Ports.
