I wouldn’t say they’re practical, but I absolutely love how they look — and the new $59 Icemag even has its own tiny RGB fan.
These three batteries are all from Sharge (I think it rhymes with “Charge”) and I can’t wait to see what the Shenzhen company does next. While I don’t own these batteries, I did Kickstart its tiny transparent SSD enclosure, where my old Steam Deck drive will hopefully soon live.
Remember when I said the new Starfield GPU is too pretty to hide inside my PC? I wouldn’t need to with a mini-case like this! Pretty potent processors inside this PC, too. (Minisforum via VideoCardz)
Even though it’s not coming till early 2024, Asus wants you to believe it’s “the chosen one.” And a 240Hz QD-OLED screen at 32 inches, with graphene cooling, USB-C, KVM and picture-in-picture certainly sounds good!
But there will be any number of 32-inch 240Hz 4K OLED monitors, and while I believe Asus more than Dough, Asus doesn’t offer an OLED burn-in warranty like Alienware, Corsair and LG do.
There’s also a curved 34-inch 240Hz 1440p WOLED coming, which I originally conflated with this one.
GamingOnLinux’s Liam Dawe reports it’s only available in advanced update channels right now, but should be part of the upcoming SteamOS 3.5 stable release. (3.5 also brings HDR for external screens.)
If you’re considering one of the new Steam Deck screen replacements, this might be a reason to wait?
According to the CMA:
Ubisoft will also be able, for a fee, to require Microsoft to adapt Activision’s titles to operating systems other than Windows, such as Linux, if it decides to use or license out the cloud streaming rights to Activision’s titles to a cloud gaming service that runs a non-Windows operating system.
This would have been a bigger deal when the Linux-based Google Stadia still existed and Ubisoft wanted it to succeed. Still, could be relevant someday!
