“Secretly ruthless.”
Today, September 4th, 2023, marks 25 years since Google was founded.
NPR asked Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel: “if you could describe Google’s legacy in a sentence, what would that be?”
His answer: “Secretly ruthless.” More at NPR below, and much more in our larger exploration of Google’s relevance 25 years later.

Starfield vs. Steam Deck and ROG Ally.
Before you play on Ally, you may want AMD’s new graphics driver issued especially for this game. It seems playable plugged in.
Before you buy for Deck, know that GamingOnLinux couldn’t maintain 30fps even on the lowest settings; see video below. It’s a CPU-bound game on many planets, my colleague Tom tells me.

Alexa and Google Assistant: two great tastes that taste great together?
Not bad, right? I love how Jon puts it in his full writeup:
I had to do a little trial and error to work out exactly how to get them working best in sync. But it felt similar to the trial and error process of speaking to a voice assistant in the first place

Microsoft’s Starfield gamepad has windows for triggers.
No, not that kind of Windows — I mean you can see rumble motors inside each of the transparent impulse triggers! Guess I should have bought one in June when Tom first told me about it; they seem to be sold out.

GeForce Now is shutting down in Russia with little explanation.
GFN.ru, auto-translated:
In the current circumstances, we cannot provide the quality of service that we have established for ourselves and that our users expect and deserve.
Cloud gaming service ends October 1st. They’re promising refunds. Nvidia ceased all activities in Russia last October; both actions are presumably related to the Ukraine war. (Via Tom’s Hardware)
