I am so torn. The Anbernic RG35XXSP — which I’ve mentioned here before — is a beaut. I love handhelds, I love emulators, and I’ve got my own Game Boy cartridges and access to a GB Operator so I can (legally?) back ‘em up.
On the other hand, Anbernic is shipping these with truckloads of pirated ROMs! Didn’t ask for those; I’d happily buy without.
Remember how the Bambu A1 had a worrying heatbed cable issue, and recalled and offered refunds for every printer to be safe? The US CPSC has just blessed that February recall, revealing “all of them” was around 13K printers in total. Bambu moved quick — in fact, the printer already went back on sale in late April with a revised cable.
Personally, I prefer the P1 series.

Banana currently has more PC players than Apex Legends, Naraka Bladepoint, Rust and GTA V — and it’s closing in on PUBG. Two weeks ago, it was #47; it rose from #8 to #4 over the weekend.
How the heck? Polygon has a great writeup:
Mini Maker wasn’t on our transparent gadget radar, but I’m fixing that now! The Turbo Mini X looks incredibly svelte for something with a 65W Intel desktop chip inside, and there’s a companion eGPU with direct PCIe connection that’s allegedly faster than Thunderbolt. It’s not just vapor: Tom’s Hardware saw one.
Sounds like it’s mostly knockoff Apple Earpods. Wired explains:
What’s going on is this: The plug on the buds using this workaround goes into the Lightning slot, which then doubles as a Bluetooth receiver that receives power from the port but routes its signal through the phone’s Bluetooth. That means your wired connection is actually wireless.
Ash called it “an unexpected triumph of tactics and friendship.” If you haven’t picked up the XCOM-and-Fire-Emblem-meets-Marvel superheroes game yet, there’s no better time than now — it’s free, no strings attached, at EGS through June 13th.
