Warning: unplugged SSDs can slowly eat your data.
It is known that flash storage isn’t forever — but now’s the time to spread the word. Don’t just leave ‘em in a drawer!
Before, most SSDs you’d pull out of an old PC weren’t big enough to use as long-term storage, and they probably had lower-density cells (SLC, MLC) less likely to corrupt. That has changed. Don’t do it.

Turns out the PS5 *can* play CDs — with the right external drive and if you burn them yourself.
Early Sony PlayStations doubled as high-quality CD players, but the PS4 and PS5 removed the feature. Yet the PS5 can technically play MP3s off discs if they pretend to be USB flash drives! Will It Work?, a fantastic concept for a YouTube channel, walks you through it:

Leaked video shows what the Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake looked like 20 months ago.
Who knows if any of this will make it into the final game early next year? These bits intrigue, though:
- “Parkour a world rebuild from the ground up”
- “blending familiar acrobatic attacks with new advanced acrobatic moves”
- “Farah is a true ally, capable of fighting independently...”
- “There is no longer a need to protect her.”

Valve signals it won’t subsidize the Steam Machine.
It’s not going to be a sort of subsidized device, like Valve is not going into this thinking we’re going to eat a big loss on this so that we can group market share or category or anything like that, correct?
Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais:
No, it’s more in line with what you might expect from the current PC market. Obviously our goal is for it to be a good deal at that level of performance, and then you have features that are really hard to build if you are making your own gaming PC from parts.
And with RAM prices soaring... it might be a console, but not priced like one.
