The Osborne 1 is a classic example of this style of computer. You lugged it around to the nearest outlet, and yes that’s a tiny CRT screen. An understandable reaction when what you’re selling is this. This was in 1989, and in all this time the fundamental design of laptops hasn’t changed. Anyone looking at this today would still recognize it as a laptop instantly. Even the 90s aesthetic for laptops survives to this day in the form of theindomitable ThinkPad....

Smaller, chopped up game releases that meant more frequent releases and lower prices. It never really took off, so why did the episodic model fail to launch? Gaming magazines at the time frequently had articles on how the episodic approach to game development would change everything. With episodic game development, we would see the end of long development cycles before getting new games. If you don’t want to play more of the game, you could stop at any time....

Of course, awesome webcam quality isnt the only reason Im eyeing ARM-powered Windows laptops. Id love to play with said features and check out new ones as soon as they land. Except forWindows Recall, Id likely pass on that one even on my secondary PC. I do hope well get budget ARM Windows laptop options soon! Game compatibility is a different story, though. The fact of the matter is that Qualcomm Snapdragon X machines are overpriced for what they offer....

So, Microsoft is cashing in on the past with a 1990s-inspired version of the modern Xbox controller. Under the hood, the Sky Cipher controller is just a normal Xbox controller. Xbox controllers also require little to no setup in retro console emulators. They’re ubiquitous, so they’re supported far better than any other gamepads. I should clarify that Sky Cipheris notthe first translucent Xbox gamepad. (Previous console generations also featured translucent Xbox controllers....

This film is packed with color, but not nearly as much as the first title. Though sadly you’re able to’t enjoy the48fps versionat home. Tanks fire egregious amounts of tracer rounds, looking more likeStar Warsthan a historical fiction piece. Piccadilly Pictures painstakingly hand-crafted without the benefit of digital tools, this timeless cyberpunk dystopian classic is jaw-dropping on an OLED. Warner Bros. Warner Bros. Warner Bros.

So why not extend that ecosystem to your home Wi-Fi? Apple now designs and makes its own in-house processors, and the results have been spectacular. In general, they don’t sell their customers' data for extra cash. To me, that would be a pretty attractive feature in a router system. However, there’s no denying that there’s room for improvement. This is the same company that figured out how tomake TV color calibration dead easy....

Advanced Voice Mode is kind of like a next-generation Siri or Alexa. You talk to your phone and it talks back. It’s a concept that we’re all familiar with by now. Still, Advanced Voice Mode absolutely dominated theGPT-4o launch eventon May 13th. I rarely see conversations about Advanced Voice Mode’s practical capabilities. Yeah, it can answer questions and look through your cameramost people don’t seem to care. OpenAI clearly knew that a human-like voice would capture the public’s imagination....

However, in my experience, there are great reasons to run local chatbots on your own computer. Those chatbots, at least by default, record and analyze every single conversation you have with them. However, it’s important to note that not all local chatbots guarantee high levels of privacy. They have been designed to make money. For example,OpenAImay be non-profit, but it eventually established a for-profit wing. Additionally, its leading rivals likeCharacter.aiandClaude.aihave been for-profit since their start....

But it doesn’t have to be this way. A convenient yet affordable smart home might be closer than you think.

That’s really all there is to it, so next let’s run through it step-by-step....

Printable Gliders There are two types of gliders in question here. The jot down of printable glider I’m actually referring to here is not an RC vehicle at all. It’s just an glider with no electronics that you launch with a rubber band or throw. It’s basically a paper plane on steroids. Many of these are print-in-place and don’t need assembly either. Printable Planes When it comes to proper RC planes, it seems the options are also endless....
