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 and compact PSP Go and Xperia Play smartphone so fondly remembered.The RG Slide will be priced at $189 and is expected to go on sale starting on June 20th, 2025, according to RetroDodo. It’s powered by an octa-core Unisoc Tiger T820…

Google is rolling out a test that puts its AI-powered Audio Overviews on the first page of search results on mobile. The experiment, which you can enable in Labs, will let you generate an AI podcast-style discussion for certain queries.If you search for something like, “How do noise cancellation headphones work?”, Google will display a button beneath the “People also ask” module that says, “Generate Audio Overview.” Once you click the button, it will take up to 40 seconds to generate an Audio Overview, according to Google.The completed Audio Overview will appear in a small player embedded within your search…

Spaceballs, which was first released nearly 40 years ago, is getting a sequel in 2027 from Amazon MGM Studios.A Spaceballs 2 announcement trailer posted Thursday doesn’t have any solid details besides the date, though it does poke fun at the entertainment industry’s obsession with franchises and spinoffs by listing many of them out. (I particularly liked “DCU attempt Number 1” and “DCU attempt Number 2.”)Mel Brooks, who played Yogurt (a Yoda parody) in the original film, also makes an appearance. “After 40 years, we asked, ‘what do the fans want?’” he says. “But instead, we’re making this movie.” The film’s…

The Switch 2 is a hit (and a supply chain success story). Microsoft is starting to show off its plan for the future of Xbox. And everywhere you look, there are reasons to think we’re headed toward a very different kind of gaming device. Maybe it’ll be even more modular and portable. Maybe it’ll be even more like a Windows PC. Maybe it’ll be all that a bunch of other things besides.If you want to know more about everything we discuss in this episode, here are some links to get you started, beginning with gaming and gadget news:And in the…

Legacy lock maker Kwikset has been producing innovative smart locks since 2013, when it released the first touch-to-open lock, the Kwikset Kevo. The company followed that up with the launch of one of the first key-free locks in 2016, one of the earliest Apple HomeKit locks, and one of the first fingerprint-only locks. Kwikset has not shied away from new tech. Its latest model, the Halo Select ($279.99), is one of the first full-replacement Matter-over-Thread smart locks. I’ve tested almost every smart lock that Kwikset has made over the years, and this is its best yet. It’s super-responsive with solid…

The Core 2 Duo smartwatch is “nearing mass production,” according to Migicovsky, and Core Devices is “on track to ship out all pre-orders in July and August.” Customers who preordered the Core 2 Duo should receive an email later this month to confirm shipping and to pay any regional charges that apply, including duties, tariffs, and taxes.The Core 2 Time – an upgraded version of the Core 2 Duo that adds a touchscreen and sleep and step tracking capabilities – is also still on schedule for a release later this year, and the company is “aiming to have working engineering…

I’ve been checking out a lot of new Switch 2 accessories recently, almost all of which were produced before the companies that made them ever touched a real Switch 2. Even a millimeter’s difference in dimensions could completely throw off a design, and some products I’ve tried lack a perfect fit. For example, Genki’s Attack Vector has problems, which the company is now reworking. It’s probably not the only one. However, Dbrand’s Killswitch kit offers the best fit and best protection right out of the gate.I adored the kit when I tested it on my Steam Deck, and this one…

These days we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to e-bike brands – but want if you want something futuristic? Fledgling brand Infinite Machines turned heads with its Cybertruck-like design on the P1 bike designed for speed. Now, the brand is back with something that’s a little more suited for everyday use – and I really want one. Imagine if a Tesla Cybertruck hooked up with a Tron scooter. That’s the Olto. It’s a slab of angular aluminium with all the bells and whistles you’d expect on an e-bike. Oh, and it has some seriously impressive specs. This e-bike promises 40 miles…

Google is rolling out new Gemini AI features for Workspace users that make it easier to find information in PDFs and form responses. The Gemini-powered file summarization capabilities in Google Drive have now expanded to PDFs and Google Forms, allowing key details and insights to be condensed into a more convenient format that saves users from manually digging through the files.Gemini will proactively create summary cards when users open a PDF in their drive and present clickable actions based on its contents, such as “draft a sample proposal” or “list interview questions based on this resume.” Users can select any…

We’ve started to see some pretty huge power stations that can be used as back-up home generators or power your camping trip. But Jackery’s latest release is pretty impressive. It’s barely the bigger than a football, but can somehow squeeze out enough power to keep your fridge running for up to 2 days. Or charge your laptop 48 times. That’s some serious power! Despite packing a frankly ludicrous 3072 Wh of capacity and a 3600 W output, it only weighs 27kg. That’s about the same as a suitcase you’d drag through the airport. Except this power station can keep your home powered…

Steam will soon fully support Macs equipped with Apple’s in-house chips. In the latest Steam client beta spotted by 9to5Mac, Valve says the “Steam Client and Steam Helper apps now run natively on Apple Silicon.”That means Steam will no longer need to use Rosetta 2 to run on Macs with M-series chips. Rosetta 2 is the emulator that allows Intel-based apps to run on Apple Silicon’s ARM architecture. Native support for Apple Silicon should make Steam run more smoothly.The update follows Apple’s announcement that it will stop launching major updates for Intel-based Macs after macOS Tahoe. The company has also…
