Processors are among the few constants in the smartphone world. That’s why we can safely assume that virtually every upcoming top-tier Android smartphone will feature either a Qualcomm or MediaTek chipset.While rumors about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and its heartbreaking pricing have started pouring out, we’ve heard relatively little about the Dimensity 9600. A new rumor changes that with wild claims about the performance of MediaTek’s leading chip.Dimensity 9600 could outperform both Apple’s and Qualcomm’s processorsMediaTek’s upcoming flagship processor will be manufactured on a 2nm process node, according to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station. The leaker doesn’t clarify…
Kickstarter, the crowdfunding platform used to fund the likes of Larian Studios’ Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has recently updated its “Mature Content” guidelines to prohibit content that is deemed “violent,” “derogatory,” and sexually “photo-realistic,” and, based on emails sent to creators on the platform, the payment processor Stripe may be to blame for the sudden shift away from NSFW content. At some point over the past few days, seemingly around May 11, based on Internet Archive snapshots, Kickstarter’s “Rules” page was updated to specifically prohibit several forms of NSFW content. While the previous version…
On’s Cloudboom Strike LS, the company’s first iteration of these weird sprayed-on shoes, quickly became my favorite pair of runners. They became my go-to shoes, and I put many miles on them, even running a couple of half marathons. (I did not break any records, but thank you for asking.)I’ve been using the new version since it came out in February. The Cloudmonster soles feel great to run in, although they are noticeably less squishy than the Cloudboom versions. The benefits of that sprayed-on toebox are immediately noticeable. It makes the shoes much lighter (190 grams) than On’s other shoes.…
You’ve Seen The Demo, But Not Like This The bad news, to get it out of the way, is that the demo for modded Baldurs Gate 3 has not been updated. The good news is that what you saw in the demo of BG1 in BG3 is nowhere near as pretty as what has been done by Deathbringer’s Reign recently. The team have taken everything they learned about the Baldurs Gate 3 engine and went over Candlekeep again to give it the massive visual overhaul it truly deserves. This does mean that it will be even longer before we start…

Back in April, Disney underwent significant layoffs, including putting a major dent in Marvel Studios’ visual development team. Fans and even actors who have been part of the MCU believe this is in an effort to replace artists with AI, with CEO Josh D’Amaro telling employees that the company needs to be “more agile and technologically-enabled to meet tomorrow’s needs.” So yeah, that certainly sounds like the corpo ramblings of someone who thinks AI is in the company’s future. But hey, it’s not too late to bring those folks back, which Disney might want to consider after one shot of…
Meanwhile, Ikea’s new flexible floor lamp marks the Swedish brand’s first collaboration with designer Lex Pott, who wanted to create a “lamp that bends,” and did so by inserting 45-degree swivel points into the light’s stand to fashion a metal lamp that transforms from an uplighter to a spotlight to a floor or reading light.Mikael Axelsson, who designed Ikea’s excellent new blowup chair, has also created another of our favorite pieces from PS 2026: a stool with a ratchet-toothed construction inspired by simple woodworking tools acting as a low-tech height adjustment mechanism that is also delightfully and unapologetically analog. As…
T-Mobile has been on a streak of unpopular moves lately, with some being minor inconveniences and others being straight-up baffling. In April, the carrier started getting stingy with promos, sparking immediate backlash from both employees and customers. T-Mobile has relented and mostly retracted those changes.Better phone promos again The policy reversal is live. | Image by The Mobile Report The first backtrack concerns a limit on device promos. T-Mobile had slashed the number of times an account could use a specific device promo from four down to two. The four per-account limit has officially been reinstated, per The Mobile Report.The…
A newly updated Star Wars reference book confirms that Luke Skywalker, at some point after the events of the original trilogy, learned about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor protagonist Cal Kestis and his master. It could be the first tease toward the two Jedi meeting in a future show, cartoon, game, or other pieces of Star Wars media. On May 12, Lucasfilm and Disney released the reference book Star Wars: The Secrets of the Jedi: The Chronicles of Luke Skywalker. This is an updated version of a previously released Jedi reference book from 2019, and it contains new pieces of information…
The final stragglers testified on Wednesday in the Musk v. Altman trial. The witnesses generated few waves, aside from the revelation that Microsoft has so far spent over $100 billion on its partnership with OpenAI. Rather than focus on that, I wanted to bring you a candid observation that my colleague Maxwell Zeff and I can’t stop talking about after spending nearly three weeks watching the trial.The courtroom is littered with butt cushions.Several of the hard, wooden benches on the right side of US district Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers’ courtroom are reserved for OpenAI and Microsoft’s attorneys, executives, and other…
