    These leaked DJI Goggles N3 could be the missing puzzle piece.

    The $199 DJI Neo wasn’t the affordable FPV drone it could have been, because the goggles were too expensive! But DJI’s apparently about to change that — with budget goggles that swap out per-eye Micro-OLED luxury for a cheaper single screen.

    Today, DJI’s least expensive goggles cost $349, and even those don’t work with the Neo. Hoping for sub-$200 here.

    Fix the PS5 Slim’s crack, make it black, and add an awesome magnetic stand.

    Remember the Dbrand Darkplates that pissed off Sony and eventually let you make your PS5 retro-translucent? You can now buy a $60 black version for PS5 Slim that unifies the original split panels — and for $70, it’ll come with a self-aligning magnetic stand.

    Stand doesn’t work without panels; panels don’t work with Sony’s tiny stand.

    Dbrand’s optional Lightstrips are an add-on.

    Valve rejects Junk Store, won’t allow Steam Deck plugins after all.

    Turns out the answer is no. As far as I’m aware, Junk Store will still be available to sideload through Decky Loader, though.

    “Steam does not officially support applications that modify the Steam client code... as they have the potential to be harmful.”

    On Friday, we’ll hear whether Google can delay cracking open Android.

    Last week, Judge Donato ruled that Google would have to open up Android to third-party app stores starting November 1st — but Google immediately filed an appeal and asked for an emergency stay.

    Now, the judge will hear Google’s motion on October 18th. If he grants it, it could be years until Google makes changes, even if higher courts agree with his ruling.

    “A hearing... is set for October 18, 2024.”
    The judge’s latest order in Epic v. Google.

    Will Valve really sell a Steam Deck plugin that helps bring Epic Games to the handheld?

    “Junk Store has been approved for sale on the Steam Store!” its developers write — before pointing out Valve hasn’t technically approved the Epic Games Store and GOG game installer tool quite yet.

    But why shouldn’t they? You can already add Junk Store to a Steam Deck with the Decky Loader sideloading system. I asked Valve; we’ll see!

    Tomb Raider IV-VI and Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles are getting remasters.

    I don’t know who needs to hear this, because that era of 3D platformers haven’t necessarily aged well — but I’m feeling some nostalgia well up anyhow! The three-game Tomb Raider collection is coming February (trailer below), while Jedi Power Battles (trailer here) is coming January.
