It's no secret that Valve wants to bring SteamOS to as many handheld consoles as humanly possible. Long before the company even added third-party support to SteamOS, Valve kept bringing up the idea of adding official support for handhelds outside of the Steam Deck. Given how some people didn't like Windows on their consoles, there was definitely a market for it.

Elden Ring will soon be more than just a hit video game. On Thursday, Bandai Namco and A24 announced a live-action Elden Ring film directed by Alex Garland.Japanese developer FromSoftware released Elden Ring across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC in 2022, while a version for the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be released this year.

The Elden Ring spinoff Nightreign is coming out on May 30th, 2025.Garland is a writer, director, and producer best known for films like Ex Machina, 28 Days Later, and Dredd.FromSoftware first hinted at the potential to expand Elden Ring “beyond the realm of games” in 2022. Last year, George R.R. Martin — the Game of Thrones creator who helped write the game — also said, “There is some talk about making a movie out of Elden Ring.” A publication called Nexus Point News first reported on the adaptation with A24 earlier this month, but pulled its original article and didn’t explain why.

The Windows 11 Snipping Tool has gone from strength to strength in recent months. Once a humble screenshotting tool, it has since evolved to do pretty much anything, including screen recordings. In fact, we had a lot of nice things to say about it earlier today, after the preview build introduced a smart cropping feature into the mix.

Home Assistant is a fantastic piece of software that I use to automate my home, thanks to a combination of software integrations and physical Zigbee sensors distributed in my home. Over time, I've automated more and more in my home, with notifications being a crucial part of that. When my day starts, I get a notification with my first call of the day and what the weather will be like. I also have notifications configured through Home Assistant for when some of my crucial self-hosted services go down, but I recently discovered actionable notifications, and they've been incredible.

Looking to build out your home lab with a powerful network-attached storage (NAS) solution? It may be time to consider upping your game with an Intel Xeon processor. Prebuilt turnkey enclosures such as the Synology DiskStation 925+ are great for beginners and those who simply wish to plug the device in and get started, but a Xeon-powered server can provide so much more than mere storage. You'll have access to considerably more power, the ability to configure your own server infrastructure, and run some truly capable software.

One of the coolest aspects of Raspberry Pi projects is that you can make things that are convenient to you during work and play. For instance, if you work remotely, there's a good chance you've been called upon while your webcam is disabled, your microphone is muted, and you're halfway across the house. The rush back and the frantic cursor flailing to hit the unmute button feels like a rite of passage for anyone who works from home.

Discord has become the place for gaming communities on the internet. The company just celebrated its 10th anniversary, and its impact is now big enough that it's available directly on PlayStation and Xbox and was ripped off by Nintendo for the Switch 2's GameChat.But as it tries to grow, one of the big challenges Discord faces is that, for big or longer-running communities, it can be hard to know where to start, hard to catch up to the speed of real-time conversations, and hard to sift through the potentially huge amounts of conversations and channels. A lot of communities used to form around forums, but Discord just isn't a good replacement for that kind of structured messaging, as covered by Aftermath's Luke Plunkett."This is something we want to solve," Peter Sellis, Discord's SVP of product, tells The Verge. "It is not our intention to lock a bunch of this knowledge into Discord."One way Discord wants to tackle the problem is add features that are "more amicable to structured knowledge sharing, like forums, that we could probably do a better job of investing in and is something we want to do for game developers," Sellis says.Another involves LLMs. "There's an incredibl …Read the full story at The Verge.

After a six-year absence, Nike will soon begin selling products directly on Amazon, having previously stopped in 2019 to go it alone. At the same time, the company is reportedly set to increase prices across most of its sneakers and other clothes in the wake of recent US tariffs.Nike stopped selling through Amazon after just two years on the platform, blaming the decision to end sales on Amazon’s inability to crack down on counterfeiters and unlicensed sellers. Just as pivotal was its desire to build its own direct-to-consumer sales platforms in the Nike app and website, which saw it reduce its other retail partners around the same time.Nike goods have continued to appear on Amazon in the years since, but only sold by third-party sellers on the platform. According to The Information those merchants have been told that they have until July 19th to stop selling certain Nike products.“While independent sellers have listed some Nike inventory in our store for many years, Amazon will soon begin sourcing a much wider range of Nike products directly to expand our selection for US customers,” Amazon spokesperson Megan Lagesse told The Verge. “We value independent sellers, and we’re providing an extended period of time for the small number of sellers affected to sell through their inventory of overlapping items.”Nike’s direct-to-consumer strategy seemed to be working well during the covid pandemic, when online shopping spiked, but has wobbled since. In 2023 the company began restoring its relationships with retailers including Foot Locker and Macy’s, and new CEO Elliott Hill, who took up the post in October 2024, has made building back Nike’s wholesale business a key pillar of the company’s plans.CNBC reports that Nike is also set to raise prices across its products from June 1st, likely in response to US tariffs. Adult clothes and shoes priced above $100 will rise by $2 to $10, though cheaper goods and children’s products won’t be affected. Nike will also avoid raising the price of its $115 Air Force 1 shoe and some of its Jordan-branded apparel.

What's better than a Raspberry Pi project that is utterly overkill for the tiny SBC? One that makes it look good in the process. We've seen people go to extreme lengths to keep their Raspberry Pis cool, including strapping a liquid nitrogen cooler to the SBC. Now, we've caught wind of a waterblock that you can build yourself. Plus, it uses cool green pipes, so you know I had to cover it.

Chapter 19: Harbor of Souls in Doom: The Dark Agestakes a sharp turn with Prince Ahzrak now armed with the Heart of Argent that he gained control over in the previous chapter.
