    Ayaneo’s homage to the Game Boy and Game Boy Micro are *not* cheap.

    $450 MSRP for a Game Boy emulator console is a bundle of cash, OLED screen and premium build notwithstanding — $700 if you want it in Game Boy grey.

    $220 for the elegant Micro seems better, but we’re still talking about a crowdfunded Indiegogo. Would you pick these over an $220 Analogue Pocket? Full specs at the links.

    What if AMD gaming tablet, but hugely more powerful plugged in?

    Asus thermal engineer Sam Jiun-Wei Hu has revealed he’s been working on an unannounced ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet for 2025 that would contain the unannounced AMD Strix Halo chip — with an incredible 80W of power for its integrated GPU alone, and 30W more for the CPU.

    The previous-gen housed up to a 65W RTX 4070 Mobile, but limited it to 35W on battery power.

    Here’s an hour of shimmering water droplets exploding from a balloon in ultra slow motion.

    When you slow down escaping water to 82,000 frames per second, it looks unreal — like magic pixie dust glittering in the light. Here’s an entire hour of that. I’m mesmerized.

    Just the latest example of a slow-mo camera unlocking the fourth dimension; in this case, it’s a Phantom TMX7510 operated by The Slow Mo Guys.

    AMD announces Fluid Motion Frames 2: less lag, less jitter when it’s faking more frames for you.

    You can try the technical preview now if you’ve got RX 7000 or RX 6000 series discrete GPUs; it looks like it’ll also come to some laptops and handhelds with 780M integrated graphics.

    Like Nvidia’s DLSS 3, AMD’s AFMF imagines new frames between existing ones for higher FPS — with many tradeoffs and caveats. AFMF 2 may reduce them.

    I tried the Sharge Pouch: a power bank, charger, cable, and fashion accessory in one.

    $99 is pricey — and at 36Wh capacity and 40W PD output, it’s for small gadgets (1.5 charges for Z Flip, nearly full charge for Switch Lite). It only charged a Steam Deck 25 percent while playing 40 minutes of Animal Well. And the cable’s bead-like port covers kind of bang around.

    But where else can you get charger, battery and cable in a single tangle-free package? Nice strong magnets, too.
