    The best SSD upgrades for your Steam Deck, according to actual testing.

    Unlike every other “Best Steam Deck SSD” written story I’ve found, Tom’s Hardware actually put them to the test — 16 drives in total.

    Most offered similar results! The Crucial P310 and Corsair MP600 Mini (with new Phison E27T controller) slightly stood out on performance and battery life — but not temperature.

    Watch LG’s stretchable display strut down the fashion runaway.

    Your folding phone’s screen isn’t anywhere near this flexible, in case you’re wondering. They said we’d see the twistable, stretchable display at Seoul Fashion Week, and sure enough:

    Go read about the pirates making potentially life-saving medicine for pennies on the dollar.

    I kind of assumed that making medicine is... complicated! And maybe it is, but Jason Koebler’s story at 404 Media about the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective sure makes me wonder.

    They make it sound like Koebler’s friend Katelin didn’t need to die; not just because of ridiculous drug prices, but because they could have illegally made the medicine at home.

    Ayaneo’s Retro Power Bank is seriously cute in person!

    We wrote about it in July, but the 45Wh, 45W battery is here in all its Super Famicom glory (find a photo next to a mini Super Famicom in my gallery).

    For the early-bird price of $40, I like it, but wish they’d fit charging prongs... or magnets... or done a little more with the screen... or avoided dipping to 5V when you use both ports.

    The two-port power mode is... underwhelming.

    From this angle, Jony Ive’s new luxury jacket looks like the stuff of nightmares.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d totally wear the green or blue. There’s just something about this specific photo’s bone-wrapped-in-someone’s-peeled-face vibe... Can’t quite put my finger on it!

    But Ive’s magnetic button, with a piston that magically fills a donut hole, does sound cool — and a lot like the awesome buttons that let you swap Apple Watch straps.

    Today I’m toying with the DJI Neo.

    There’s never been a cheaper, easier-to-use DJI drone than the $200 Neo for self-flying selfies.

    But I’m so torn. The foldable $350 HoverAir X1 seems better for my social video needs. It filmed my opening shot below! But I love soaring with FPV goggles, which Hover can’t do. Maybe I’ll wait and see if DJI sells a budget FPV bundle.
