GuliKit’s tiny USB dongle lets you connect your PS5 controller to your Switch 2

Dongles have a well-earned reputation for being a nuisance. They're often costly and annoying to deal with, but for gamers, there's one that I love to recommend that's neither. 8BitDo's $20 USB Adapter 2 lets you wirelessly link controllers to the Switch 2 that would otherwise be unsupported, like the Sony DualSense (complete with rumble […] Read more

I went back to Linux and it was a mistake

It's a complete coincidence that I installed Linux around the same time as my colleagues Nathan Edwards and Stevie Bonifield. A few months ago, I decided to breathe new life into a 2019 Dell XPS 15 that had been collecting dust for a couple of years. Despite its (at the time) high-end Core i7 CPU […] Read more

The second-gen AirTags are a scatterbrain’s best friend

In a somewhat controversial Vergecast episode, I declared that AirTags are a superior product to iPads. The iPad lovers roasted me across social media. I have heard and respect their opinions. But, I'm sorry - the second-gen AirTag has only deepened my conviction that the humble, $29 item tracker is one of Apple's most helpful […] Read more

Cairn is a climbing journey about perseverance and obsession

I'm an awful rock climber. Being scared of heights probably doesn't help. But when I've tried it, I've loved the slow, methodical work of moving from one ledge to the next. It reminds me a lot of why I love running; in both sports, you achieve goals that seem insurmountable by taking them one step […] Read more

Where's the Trump phone? We're going to keep talking about it every week. We've reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone's whereabouts.
