    Ahead of SpaceX IPO, SpaceX and Google announce $920 million/month GPU rental agreement

    The IPO was bad enough, but the buying frenzy just makes it worse. SpaceX isn't worth this right now... and Musk certainly shouldn't be a trillionaire. This is the kind of excess that led to revolts in centuries past.

    Trump phone is an HTC with a Samsung display

    I don't think anyone sensible expected this to be a true made-in-the-USA phone. The problem is that a lot of the target audience probably thinks otherwise, especially with that name and a big (if incorrect) American flag on the back. So it's not a ripoff, but it is deliberately misleading —...

    Trump phone is an HTC with a Samsung display

    I'm reminded more than a little of the Escobar phones... it's an old phone with a layer of tacky faux gold on top. Very on-brand.

    God of War Laufey (PS5)

    And? It's not even due to ship until next year, but you're already convinced it'll be a flop because of what the protagonist looks like and one of the people involved in writing the story — and the odds are you've never played a game with her writing in it. The issue with the attacks on Laufey...

    Next Xbox won’t be cheap — Sarah Bond teases a “very premium, high-end next-gen console experience”

    That does delay Microsoft's dream by several years if it happens, mind you... I agree that Helix will be digital-only at the least. It'll likely arrive seven years after Xbox Series X/S, and that was the start of the disc phase-out; Microsoft's not going to try to keep physical media alive for...

    Next Xbox won’t be cheap — Sarah Bond teases a “very premium, high-end next-gen console experience”

    The cloud push isn't so strong under Sharma. She realizes that the hardware and games have to be compelling before you can even think about a Game Pass subscription; hell, she even lowered the price so that it's less of a profit driver. I'm sure Microsoft would love it if everyone had a Game...

    Evaluating Upgrade Timing: iPhone 15 Pro Max → iPhone 18 Pro Max

    The current rule of thumb is that iPhone upgrades only truly become meaningful every three years. That's not even Apple's fault — it's that the days of major performance and feature upgrades every year are largely over in the smartphone world. It takes a while before there are enough cumulative...

    Evaluating Upgrade Timing: iPhone 15 Pro Max → iPhone 18 Pro Max

    I wouldn't worry about the two-tone look or Dynamic Island size, but remember this: the iPhone 18 Pro Max is likely just three months away. Your current phone will be absolutely fine for that period, so there's no sense getting a 17 Pro Max unless you score an amazing deal or your current device...

    AMD Hints the Next-Gen Xbox Console Could Launch Next Year

    I'm hoping this means back-to-basics rather than ditching consoles altogether. The notion that gamers would flock to a "premium" console was optimistic before; now, the price hikes would probably make it a $1,000-plus gaming PC that just happens to be in your living room. Just make a system that...

    God of War Laufey (PS5)

    If a man vocally and rpeatedly complains about the sexual attractiveness of a lead female character, he's not doing it because he's interested in her intellect and personal growth. Also, talk about goal post shifting. It remains true that those female-led games outsold other titles available at...

    God of War Laufey (PS5)

    Exactly... a mediocre game rarely sells well no matter what the characters look like, and a good indie game might fare poorly because it's either niche or just doesn't get enough buzz. I was looking at the 20 top-selling games of 2025 based on Circana data, and fun fact: the games that aren't...

    God of War Laufey (PS5)

    On top of what I said earlier, the odds are that Laufey will be a good (not necessarily spectacular) game and sell well. The "wah, I can't have sexual fantasies about her" contingent will remain a vocal group, but ultimately small and insignificant as they've often been. It's funnier the more I...

    Apple intros MacBook Neo: $599 with an iPhone chip

    I've seen the press release — it explicitly and repeatedly references the MacBook Neo. Between that and having Neos on hand at the showcase, it's pretty clear Dell is nervous about Apple and wants you to talk about how much better the XPS 13 appears to be. That and Dell likely wasn't going to...

    Apple intros MacBook Neo: $599 with an iPhone chip

    He needs to temper his enthusiasm, but he has a point: at first glance, Dell knocked this one out of the park. You know it's confident when it actually has MacBook Neo units at the event to help with comparisons. Dell's main obstacles are the lack of a built-in headphone jack (the irony!)...

    God of War Laufey (PS5)

    We still don't need main characters in those categories to have a good game. And frankly, it's nice to have a lead character that acknowledges women have families and continue to exist after age 30.
