    Sesame snaps up another Oculus VR co-founder.

    Remember the first voice assistant I ever wanted to talk to twice? It’s headed by Oculus co-founder Brendan Iribe, and it just hired Oculus co-founder Nate Mitchell as chief product officer. They go way back: Mitchell joined Iribe’s Scaleform in 2009, they worked together at Autodesk and Gaikai (where we met), then co-founded Oculus. Now they’re hiring for AI glasses with, apparently, next-gen embedded OS.

    Mitchell is coming off his failed gaming startup Mountaintop, whose Spectre Divide was fascinating.

    Would you watch your shows on a TinyTV?

    I backed the TinyTV 2 on Kickstarter back in 2022, and it’s a delight! When you change the “channel” with its tiny remote or working dials, it’ll realistically flick to the middle of your next video just as if you were watching it live. (It syncs timestamps!) Yeah, it’s $60... but a gift or treat, perhaps? They also sell the transparent one.

    A bunch of popular SteelSeries headsets just got firmware updates for Nintendo Switch 2.

    Two weeks ago, SteelSeries discovered its Nova Pro Wireless and GameBuds were already compatible, but some others were not.

    Now, the Nova 7, 7P, 7X, 4, 4P, 4X, 3P, 3X, and Arctis 7+, 7P+ and 7X+ all have updates ready. Sounds like there’s a wrinkle with the lowest-end, though: “Updating Nova 3P/X Wireless is recommended for Nintendo Switch 2 users only,” SteelSeries notes.

    Release notes for GG 89.0.0

    “Game Boy worm lights have changed a lot since I was a kid.”

    I didn’t even know USB-C endoscopes were a thing, but now I’ve got one plugged into my Nintendo Switch 2 and phone! And yes, it also works as a GameChat webcam when you’re not inspecting pipes and walls. Unfortunately, my $10 model is out of stock. Maybe you’ll find a less flimsy one?

    Elon Musk “does not use a computer.”

    Elon Musk’s lawyers claimed that he “does not use a computer” in a Sunday court filing related to his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. However, Musk has posted pictures or referred to his laptop on X several times in recent months, and public evidence suggests that he owns and appears to use at least one computer.

    Musk, February 2024: “Just bought a new PC laptop”

    Musk, December 2024: “This is a pic of my laptop”

    Musk, May 2025: “Still using my ancient PC laptop”

    We asked every major webcam maker what’s up with Switch 2 compatibility and got no substantive answers.

    Nintendo, Logitech, Razer, Microsoft, Anker, Elgato, Dell, Insta360, Obsbot, Opal — none has answers for us yet, nearly two weeks after the Switch 2 launch.

    Thankfully, Reddit’s been crowdsourcing such a list, and we’ve added it to our first-hand testing at the link below! If you know why some webcams don’t work with Switch 2, please drop me an email. Ditto if you know why some HDMI docks and hubs don’t work.
