It has been a big year for the right to repair, the movement of advocates pushing for people to be able to fix their own electronics and equipment without manufacturer approval. The issue has gathered broad support from technologists, farmers, military leaders, and politicians on both sides of the aisle. It is popular with just about everyone—except the companies who stand to gain if the parts, instructions, and tools necessary to fix their products remain under lock and key.Three US states passed right-to-repair laws this year, including in heavily Republican states like Texas where the measure received a unanimous vote…
Mini PCs are a great alternative to tower desktops for anyone who wants to enjoy powerful performance while keeping their workstation clean and minimal. Acemagic makes some of our favorite options around, and Prime members can now grab one without paying the full price. The Acemagic mini gaming PC (32GB RAM, 1TB SSD), is currently going for $599 at Amazon, after a nice 30% discount on its usual $856 price. Even better, you’ll save an additional 5% at checkout, which drops the overall cost even more. The only catch? The offer is limited to Prime members. Non-Prime shoppers will see…
This was a surprisingly fun year for smartphones. I wasn’t expecting it to be; the category is often described as stale or “plateaued.” But as WIRED’s resident phone reviewer, I’ve tested nearly all of this year’s handsets—devices as cheap as $130 all the way to an eye-watering $2,000—and I don’t think there’s been a year filled with as many varied styles in quite some time.It all started with the Nothing Phone (3a) series, which the UK company launched at Mobile World Congress early in the year. While I wasn’t a fan of the Pro model’s top-heavy camera module, the electric…
At the whole genome level, canines and wolves are clearly separated. However, when the research team constructed phylogenetic trees for each of the 1,582 genes, they found that not a single gene supported the monophyly of dogs. Further examination of the mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome phylogenetic trees revealed a complex interplay between canine and wolf lineages. This discrepancy is evidence of multiple rounds of gene transfer in the past.Imprints on Physique and PersonalityThe researchers found that wolf genes are linked to a variety of dog traits, most notably body size. Larger dogs tend to have more wolf ancestry, and certain…
With Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo managed to follow up the reinvention of the Zelda series with a game that added more to discover and more to play with, and it even throws in a mystical LEGO kit. Link soon discovers Ultrahand, which lets you grab and stick objects, batteries, engines, weapons, food (and more) to other objects. It’s the standout addition compared to its predecessor; a creative toolbox of solutions (or foolish endeavors) to solve every puzzle, fight every beast and explore every part of Tears of the Kingdom. The Switch 2 edition adds the sort of improvements and…
GameSpot may receive revenue from affiliate and advertising partnerships for sharing this content and from purchases through links. The use of Generative AI (or GenAI for short) is on the rise, with many examples in some of the biggest games of the year using art, voice recordings, and narratives, just to name a few, now coming to light. For many players, a studio’s use of AI as a shortcut, instead of commissioning an artist, hiring a voice actor, or paying a writer to create assets for the final product, is something they actively don’t want to buy.So this curated list…
Parrying is about subtlety. It’s the act of scrutinizing fisticuffs and sword fights with a furrowed brow, familiarizing yourself with the cadence of combat right down to milliseconds, and learning the precise moment of performing a counter attack. For instance, a small variation in animation may point to a rare opening. A slight note change in the audio cue may indicate a shift of attacks from the enemy. To parry well is to understand these details and adapt to them dexterously.That said, doing so is exhausting. The requirements needed to pull off a parry in most games can be steep…
In early 2025, partway through a subathon to mark her second birthday, the AI VTuber Neuro-Sama became the world record holder for the largest Twitch Hype Train. Many claimed her achievements were possible thanks to Riot’s competitive shooter, Valorant, gifting one subscription for each five gifted by the community. Now, only a few days into her third birthday subathon, Neuro-Sama and her creator Vedal987 have smashed that world record. She completed Hype Train level 120 with 118,989 subscriptions and 1,000,073 Bits gifted to the Vedal987 Twitch channel within a limited time.Neuro-Sama is an AI VTuber who recently completed a Minecraft…
Milestone: James Webb Space Telescope launchesDate: Dec. 25, 2021Where: Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French GuianaWho: NASA, European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency scientistsOn a cloudy winter’s day, in the Amazon jungle, a shuttle blasted off into space — and changed our view of the universe forever.The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) left Earth aboard an Ariane 5 rocket at 25,000 mph (40,000 km/h) “from a tropical rainforest to the edge of time itself,” according to a live broadcast from NASA.About a month later, it reached its orbiting parking place in space, a gravitationally-stable Lagrange point 930,000 miles (1.5 million…
