Three new pieces of gaming hardware were just revealed by Valve: the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller. Complimenting Valve's popular PC game storefront and launcher, in additon to the Steam Deck, these new devices offer up different ways to experience your library of PC games on Steam.

ESXi may have solid integration with Broadcom’s virtualization suite, but Proxmox isn’t far behind when it comes to first-party tools. Although it’s still in the early development stage, Proxmox Datacenter Manager is a solid utility for keeping an eye on multiple nodes and migrating virtual guests between them. And then there’s Proxmox Backup Server, which provides deduplication, compression, and easier recovery methods in addition to supporting remote syncs between PBS nodes.

The PlayStation 5 just turned five years old, and, as with any new console, it's the launch titles that make or break it. With the PS5, however, it's hard to overstate just how integral its launch titles were, considering the time Sony's ninth-generation console came out in. Between Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon's Souls, it's impossible to look back at the latter without reverence.

For years, running Docker on Windows meant allocating multiple gigabytes of RAM to a heavy, full-blown virtual machine (VM), simply because the Docker engine needed a Linux kernel to operate. We have accepted slow boot times, the constant fan noise, and the noticeable drain on system resources due to containers.

You mostly get to see my nerdy writing on network storage and Android phones. While that’s creative writing too, my other hobbyist side leans more into the niche with write-ups like essays, short stories, rhymes, screenplays, podcasts, and more. Each of these requires a different kind of temperament and a separate digital space to keep their individual delivery language from interfering with one another.

For years, I’ve lived a frustrating double life. On my desktop at home, I have a custom-built, programmable mechanical keyboard running QMK firmware. I've spent hours tuning the layers, home-row mods, and macros. It's a masterpiece of ergonomic efficiency. Then, I try working on my laptop when traveling, and I'm thrust back into the dark ages: a flat, non-programmable chiclet keyboard that treats my pinky fingers with outright contempt. The muscle memory I've built using the custom solution has become my worst enemy. I'd hold down Space and use mash L, expecting the cursor to move to the right, and instead get a screen full of LLLLL. I've tried to fix this with software, but AutoHotkey, the old guard of remapping, is a Windows-only affair, leaving me high and dry on my notebook's Linux install.

When I initially tested the Lenovo Legion Glasses Gen 2, it was primarily with the Legion Go 2 I'd just reviewed. While not a package deal, the two are complimentary since AR glasses can help alleviate neck strain from using a gaming handheld, so it just seemed like the perfect fit considering my main complaint with the Legion Go 2 was its hefty weight.

Intel's second generation of discrete graphics cards, much like its first generation, got off to a bit of a rocky start. Marred by the same stock and price issues as other brands, Intel wasn't able to fully capitalize on a market that was yearning for a solid $250 GPU. Today, it's reached that golden number, and it's still a worthy buy, but what if you're looking for a little more juice? If you're a believer in Intel Arc, but want something closer to a high-end offering, the rumored Arc B770 might be worth waiting for.

When you think of display outputs and inputs, the two most notable ports that will likely come to mind are HDMI and DisplayPort, with some maybe thinking back to the days of VGA or DVI. But in recent years, there's been a rise in a third type of connector for monitors, and that's USB Type-C, or USB-C for short.

Samsung's Galaxy XR headset made its official debut at the end of October, and while it could become an exciting piece of tech, we don't think most people are going to be running out to buy it thanks to its eye-watering $1,800 price tag. Luckily, Samsung's throwing in some freebies right now, totaling close to $1,000, to make the purchase a bit more tempting.

The rumored MMO set in Sony’s post-apocalyptic Horizon universe is real. We spilled details about the game before it was revealed based on an announcement video we saw, and that video has been officially posted — and more has been shared about the title, too.The new game is called Horizon Steel Frontiers, and Sony and the Korean video game company NCSoft are working on the cross platform title together for PC, iOS, and Android. It will be free to play, according to the game’s website. Based on the more than 10-minute announcement video, which features a mix of cinematic and pre-alpha gameplay footage as well as developer interviews, the game will focus strongly on fighting the Horizon series’ giant mechanical beasts and being able to do so with other people.Here is the official version of that video:Sony and a PR company representing NCSoft didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. The Verge initially spotted promotional art for Steel Frontiers on a website used to share game assets that media and influencers are approved to use. The art was posted early ahead of the official announcement at the G-Star 2025 event in Korea. The website we viewed also included a link to a Google Drive with open access that contained the video. Footage from the announcement video shows players taking on beasts as well as navigating through lush natural environments and looming metal buildings you might be familiar with if you’ve played the Horizon games. “Horizon Steel Frontiers is a full-fledged MMORPG that NCSoft has built specifically for mobile,” Jan-Bart van Beek, studio director at PlayStation’s Guerilla Games, says in the video. “With Steel Frontiers, you can step into this world anywhere, anytime. Players take on the role of machine hunters, chasing opportunity in a region called the Deathlands. This is inspired by Arizona and New Mexico. You’re sharing the frontier with thousands of other players, sometimes working together to take down machines and other times competing with rival tribes or fighting over resources, and that mix of cooperation and competition creates moments that you could never script.”“The core concept of Horizon Steel Frontiers can be summed up in one phrase: the thrill of taking down colossal machines,” executive producer Sung-Gu Lee says in the video. “Hunting massive machines was one of the greatest appeals of the original Horizon series. And now, we’re expanding that experience into the world of MMORPGs.” Lee says there will be new mechanics for fighting the machines, like picking up dropped weapons from beasts and carrying them on a mount to use in later fights. As part of the full announcement, the Horizon Steel Frontiers YouTube channel posted a gameplay trailer featuring fights against beasts in the game.The announcement video also highlights the game’s character customization features — in Steel Frontiers, instead of playing as Aloy, who has been the series protagonist so far, you’ll be able to make your own character.Sony and NCSoft haven’t shared a release date, but Lee says in the announcement video that the team is working to make the game available “as soon as possible.”Update, November 13th: Added details from the official reveal.

The Arduino Uno Q is a powerful single-board computer, packing a Qualcomm QRB2210 alongside an STM32. The board itself runs Debian, and while you can use the Arduino App Lab to build and deploy applications, you can also just use it as a regular old Linux-based machine either over SSH, or using a USB-C hub capable of providing power. That's why I turned mine into a Bluetooth forwarding service, so that I can stream to a Bluetooth speaker with ease.
