Claude is typically considered the best agentic coding tool on the market right now. There are plenty of developers I know who use it daily, and Anthropic has spent the last year and a half giving plenty of reasons for that confidence. Opus 4.7 just launched last month, Claude Code continues to be one of the go-to agentic tools on the market (despite the proliferation of alternatives), and the likes of Sonnet and even Haiku are still valid models to use for different tasks.

Sony reportedly won't release its major single-player PlayStation games on PC anymore. According to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, Hermen Hulst, who heads up PlayStation's studios business, informed employees in a town hall on Monday about the change in strategy. Schreier had previously reported on the shift in March, saying that Sony scrapped plans to launch PC versions of last year's Ghost of Yōtei and "other internally developed games." Online games will still come to multiple platforms following this change in strategy, Schreier reported at the time.In recent years, Sony has released many of its biggest games on PC, including Spider-Man 2 …Read the full story at The Verge.

Up until recently, Claude was only spoken about in hushed tones in developer communities. It was the quiet favorite of people who lived in their terminals, and the biggest reason for that was just how good Anthropic's models were at coding. To everyone else, Claude was either invisible or vaguely intimidating. And then the tables turned around for Anthropic, and suddenly Claude went from a niche AI tool to the one people couldn't stop talking about.

I totally understand why many people think enabling DLSS makes the most sense on a 4K monitor. At native 4K, you're almost always GPU-bound even if you have a flagship card like the RTX 5090, so DLSS is a great way to avoid paying the performance tax that comes with maxed-out settings and ray tracing. But here's the thing. Most people aren't using flagship cards, so they're GPU-bound even at 1440p, especially in newer AAA titles.

Nothing ever quite beats couch gaming. That's why I often prefer playing on my PS5 Pro sitting under the TV. However, a problem that kept nagging me over and over again was that most of the experiences I wanted simply lived on my desktop PC instead. High ray-tracing, path tracing, DLSS, endless mod support, and my entire Steam and Epic library I've built over years — these weren't going to migrate themselves over to a console. Plus, after getting a new TV, I found myself wanting to spend more time in the living room than I used to.

Volvo's compact, quirky EX30 had a lot of problems when it was first released. Tariffs essentially erased its affordability, making it more expensive to own, and a battery recall made it dangerous to park indoors. But its discontinuation didn't spell the end of Volvo's efforts to sell more affordable electric models. In fact, the Swedish automaker is already at work on a new offering for the US market. The news of an affordable Volvo EV for the US came during a media roundtable this week related to the US launch of the new EX60. Luis Rezende, president of Volvo Cars America, said that the decision to discontinue the EX30 was not solely abo …Read the full story at The Verge.

For years, I treated motherboard audio as one of those PC features that simply existed in the background. As long as sound came through my headphones and my microphone worked well enough for Discord calls, I never paid much attention to the audio side of my setup. I spent more time thinking about GPUs, monitors, and storage upgrades while completely ignoring the fact that my PC audio experience had quietly become frustrating.

Modern-day SSDs are fast enough for most of us to not really think about their upkeep every day. Back when SSD technology was new, everyone treated their SSDs like fragile glass, sharing notes and advice on how to prolong the life of their drive by any means unnecessary.

Every time OpenAI releases a new model for ChatGPT, the buzz it generates makes me think I may be missing out if I don't switch. The latest update is GPT-5.5 Instant, and it's the default model for all ChatGPT users. It's paired with an upgraded memory system that shows you which past conversations and saved memories the model pulled from to shape its response. That's a really nice feature that felt long overdue. With the new memory transparency and claims that hallucinations have been reduced by over 50% in certain domains, it's an alluring update for those who were already on the fence about ChatGPT.

Did you know that there's an entire scene around stuffing chips into an Altoids tin and making it do all sorts of things? We've seen it before with the Raspberry Pi, where someone even created a Kickstarter to help get an Altoid tin console up and running. There's something about the size of an Altoid tin that makes people want to turn them into teeny-tiny electronic devices.

For the last few years, Warp has largely dominated the modern terminal space. The command blocks, AI command generation, agentic mode, Warp Drive, and other QoL features all made it a popular choice, and when Warp arrived natively on Windows early last year, it made the default Windows Terminal look like yet another first-party app that needs replacing.

Over time, Windows PCs start to feel slow. It happens to most of us, and we automatically assume this is linked to hardware limitations. But more often than not, Windows system slowdowns are due to neglect and bad usage habits. Over the years, I have made simple changes to my workflow, and it has noticeably improved performance, even on my roughly 10-year-old laptop.
