    The Steam Deck OLED is getting 90fps GeForce Now streaming in September.

    I thought it breathed new life into the Steam Deck even in my 60Hz tests — but next month, Nvidia’s adding its promised new mode that matches the Steam Deck OLED’s 90Hz refresh rate, too. Also, you’ll be able to stream some games with the power of an RTX 5080.

    Today I’m toying with a drone that makes flying easy and filming even easier.

    There’s lots we don’t know about Antigravity, the first drone from Insta360. But after my first flights, I think it could change what we expect out of drones. Want a look at some (prototype! compressed!) 360-degree footage on YouTube? I uploaded this interactive sample! Set resolution to 4K first.

    Google isn’t petitioning the Supreme Court yet — it’s appealing Epic again to the appeals court first.

    Document here. Google argues it shouldn’t be “subject to dramatically different antitrust regulatory regimes based on diverging opinions from different panels of this Court,” so it’s asking for en banc review, where the full Ninth Circuit (not just the previous three-judge panel) can decide whether it won on appeal.

    Now that’s a PlayStation fidget spinner.

    This model is fan art created by myself, it is not endorsed by, sponsored by or affiliated with Sony or PlayStation,” writes Graham Watson on his Bambu crowdfunding campaign. (Here’s more about those.) Looks awesome; I hope Sony’ll give it the nod or even a little help!

    Arm is building Nvidia-like AI cores into 2026’s smartphone GPUs.

    The silicon IP licensor says it’s got its own framerate-boosting and upscaling technologies that use dedicated tensor cores, a la Nvidia’s DLSS 3 and 4, and that it’ll start building the cores into mobile GPUs. The promise is 1080p while only rendering 540p. Here’s the choppy demo video:

    Mechanism (mostly!) fixed its kickstand for Steam Deck, Switch 2 and friends.

    I adore Mechanism’s mounting solutions, but always felt its $15 kickstand was a skip; I bought this amazing $25 mount instead. But the brand-new Kickstand 2 is better! Slimmer, stronger, anti-skid, no more detach when you lean back. Still can pop off when pulling forward at some angles, though! Tradeoffs.

    Did... did dude just shock himself into becoming a human aimbot?

    I have not independently verified Nick Zetta’s new and painful way to cheat in shooter games... but I’d be happy to!
