    I played with the $35 dongle that sticks SD cards to your iPhone.

    Was it too good to be true? Perhaps if you’re a pro — but when I slapped Anker’s $35 MagSafe gadget to the back of an iPhone 15 Pro and shot in ProRes Log, I did get several consecutive minutes of usable 4K60 footage.

    For most of us, it’s just a fast SD reader that makes for an awkward grip on the phone.

    Facebook will face a labor court in Kenya after abruptly laying off 185 content moderators.

    Meta tried to settle, and it tried to appeal, but former moderators and the Kenyan courts have now rejected both attempts according to The Associated Press. In the US, Meta settled with content moderators for $52 million in 2020, after some were diagnosed with PTSD.

    Last year, Kenya also ordered Meta to provide mental health care to moderators.

    Today I learned my next gaming PC could look like a NUC strapped to a GPU.

    The Beelink EX Docking Station is a $159 staircase of a gadget that connects a mini-PC to a desktop GPU, with built-in 600W PSU. Beelink claims no performance hit, with PCIe x8 direct connect rather than USB or Oculink.

    Beelink’s been around for a while; it just announced a $999 AMD Strix Point mini-PC too. The eGPU only works with its Intel models, though.

    PS5 Pro, but make it video.

    I already showed you my hands-off photos, but here’s some video of Sony’s PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection and normal PS5 Pro too. You’ll see two different PS5 Pros in here, plus a throwback grey PlayStation Portal, DualSense, DualSense Edge, and PS5 Slim. No retro USB-C cable though; I asked!

    Is Valve cooking up an Arm-powered VR headset?

    Or, is it quietly bringing Windows-native VR games to the leaked Meta Quest 3S? Or Windows-native games to Arm, period? Or is this just another experiment?

    Either way, this datamining leak from Valve watcher Brad Lynch is an incredibly intriguing hint. (Lynch has been sniffing around Valve’s “Deckard” standalone VR headset project for years.)

    Up close with Sony’s PS5 Pro — and the 30th anniversary model

    PSA: Both the PS5 Pro’s USB-C ports are now in front.

    You can’t convince me otherwise: this cable is the coolest part of Sony’s 30th Anniversary PlayStations.

    “Unfortunately sick as hell” describes the whole package, but I’d even buy this cable solo.

    The 30th Anniversary PS5s come with a USB-C cable where one end looks like a PS1 controller connector.
