    Imagine never formatting a flash drive to make it bootable again.

    Today I learned about Ventoy, which makes an entire USB drive bootable — then, you just drag and drop ISOs to it!

    I now have Win 11, Win 10, Arch Linux and HoloISO on a single stick, which shows up as a single drive with plenty of space for regular files, too. I might never use the dependable Rufus again.

    Amazon Luna now unofficially works on Android TV and Google TV.

    Artem tried sideloading the APK to his Shield TV on a whim, and 9to5Google confirms the cloud gaming app works on Walmart’s Google TV puck as well.

    When might it be official? My Amazon Luna contact didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment.

    A $10 calculator can play N64 games — and stream Doom Eternal.

    Anyone else remember playing Tetris on a graphing calculator against a schoolmate with another graphing calculator using a 3.5mm audio jack “link cable” — all while your geometry teacher kindly looked the other way?

    We are so far past that now, people. (via Gizmodo)

    Steam Free Trials are now a thing: try 90 minutes of the Dead Space remake for free.

    I’m not sure why lots of blogs are saying Dead Space is the first — this Dead by Daylight free trial from March was a single Google search away! But it’s definitely a good get for Dead Space, an excellent remake with somewhat unpredictable PC performance. Fewer refunds this way!

    Valve didn’t respond to a request for comment.

    Lego is releasing an incredible 3,981-piece Batcave from Batman Returns

    It’s filled with detail — and comes with Alfred, Catwoman, Penguin, and Max Shreck mini-figs.

    Microsoft is giving away the next-to-worst Zune.

    Decked out in a shade of “green” best described as “Master Chief pancakes into the plateau,” this Zune 8 lacks both the badass green Twin Peaks effect of the original brown Zune and the sophistication of the Zune HD that came after. But a Zune is a Zune, right? May the best Zune-head win.

    Today I learned Google Translate is fueled with the sweat of unpaid volunteers.

    The story of a hometown hero who brought Kurdish to Google Translate has a darker narrative lurking beneath: Google apparently doesn’t pay its hardest-working translators.

    Not even the poverty wages it pays those who “rate” search results. Not even when translators add an entire language to Alphabet’s private vault! Volunteers are seen as “a proxy for what a paid rater can do,” a former Google Translate engineer admits.
