Apple's MacBook Neo is a premium-looking and feeling entry-level laptop that, for the most part, cuts the right corners. It's not as perfect as some are making it out to be. Check out my XDA review. xda-developers.com/macbook-n…

If you're running into Android Auto Disconnection issues, a Google Play Services update just dropped that might solve the problem. xda-developers.com/if-your-a…

This UFC whitehouse crap has to be one of the most insane things I've ever seen. It's like something out of a parody movie.

Afterplay is a really simple, plug and play emulation platform you can access right from your browser. It works surprisingly really well. xda-developers.com/this-brow…

It’s cool that TSN’s awful streaming app died like 10 times during the Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovin game.

Taking a look back at the Xbox 360's Metro-style dashboard has been a fun blast from the past. It feels far more modern than I expected. xda-developers.com/i-revisit…

I've been thinking about turning my 3DS XL into a retro emulation device, but I'm not sure if it's really worth it. I also don't know where it is (it's buried somewhere deep in my storage locker).

My guess is that Low Latency Profile is likely more common on lower-end PCs, though I don't know for sure. Either way, it's rolling out now. xda-developers.com/microsoft…

This interview with Matthew Ball, Xbox's Chief Strategy Officer, is a fascinating look at the brand's future. youtube.com/watch?v=rTM-I_HD…

Over the past few weeks, I've used the phone-sized Palma 2 Pro to curb my relentless social media scrolling, and it's actually worked. This time, I hope I stick with it. xda-developers.com/this-pock…

We're probably going to see a high-end reference design from Microsoft for Project Helix, sort of like the early days of the Surface, and then a few options from other companies like Asus. I also think Game Pass/console financing options are coming back.

Dedicating this much WWDC keynote time to parental control features feels... odd?

Hi, I know you have kids, I get it (I do too). What I’m talking about here is the structure of the presentation. I should have been more specific.

The 4chan gamergate losers are responding to this post in the most hilarious way possible.

We just shared with our team the realities we need to navigate as we work to reset the XBOX business. We won't succeed by hiding hard truths, nor will we succeed by doing the same thing and expecting different results. See the note here: news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/06/…

I’ve been a an Xbox player since the beginning, and it sucks to see where the brand is today. I don’t see how Microsoft avoids some level of cuts, though. What Xbox is doing hasn’t been working, so it makes sense to try a different approach.

If you want to use Android Auto to watch YouTube and browse the web on your car's infotainment screen, Fermata Auto is the only sideloaded option worth using. xda-developers.com/this-usef…

Since the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake was just officially revealed, I’m resurfacing this story I wrote a few weeks ago. If you’re looking to replay the OG game with a fresh coat of paint, Ship of Harkinian is a great option. xda-developers.com/i-dont-ne…

Wi-Fi is cool. Suddenly all my MacBook Pro-related speed issues are gone.

The Ocarina of Time remake's trailer definitely evokes the same dark, realistic vibes as the OG game's movie theatre trailer. It really makes the realistic art style make more sense to me. youtube.com/watch?v=pF7p9hru…

Star Fox on the Switch 2 feels great. I’ve also warmed up to the art style. Did anyone catch that low-tuned “good luck” from the OG Star Fox lol? I’ll likely buy it at some point when it’s on sale.
