BIG YIKES!
But, to be fair, let’s remember that the Steam Deck was a little rough at launch software-wise. And Microsoft’s track record with software updates and improvements is…
Uhhh… 😬
Maybe FSE will get Service Pack 2

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.
The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:
"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"
"This is not an Xbox"

We're not kidding when we say an ad-free Vergecast was HIGHLY requested. It was even asked about in an internal editorial meeting before the Verge subscription ever launched.
(It was me who asked, because I'm still a nerdy fan at my core. 🤓)

Why does Apple think three lenses are eight lenses?
“Optical zoom options” that aren’t really optical zooms.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

It’s been a sprint this week, on the heels of the rollable laptop, but I’m excited to share my review of the Framework Desktop. This smol boy has some impressive power, and it’s just so adorable.

Thanks for wanting to help! Should we go on strike, the most important thing is not to cross the picket line: don't click on, read, listen to, or watch any Vox Media products for the duration of the strike.
Should we go on strike, we'll have more specific ways to help out, so stay tuned! Thank you!
