After the success of the Steam Deck, Valve hasn't been slacking. For a long time, the company expressed interest that it wanted to bring the Steam Deck's operating system, SteamOS, to other handheld devices too. And we're not talking just giving people the option to use SteamOS: we're talking full, official support from Valve itself.

It’s funny how you can use a tool extensively, even daily, and still only scratch the surface of its capabilities. For me, that tool has been Obsidian. I have been a dedicated user for years, managing everything from project notes, knowledge, to personal reflections. But as with any powerful ecosystem, there are always deeper layers to uncover. Looking back, I can’t help but feel regret for not exploring certain features and plugins sooner.

Hot or warm water, whatever works.Hot water is like internet connectivity for most Verge readers: you just expect it to be there. But that's unlikely to be the case this summer when tent camping at a music festival or road-tripping into the great unknown. That's where BougeRV's battery-powered shower comes in. The $310 "Portable Propane Outdoor Camping Water Heater" from BougeRV is not only optimized for search engine discovery, it also delivers a luxurious spray of hot steaming water to the unwashed, be they human, canine, or stubborn pots and pans. Charge up the battery, attach a propane canister, drop the pump into a jug of water, and you're ready to get sudsing.It's so useful and flexible that I've ditched my plans to install a permanent shower cabin and expensive hot water system inside my adventure van, even if I don't completely trust it.My current portable shower consists of an 11-liter water bag, a manual foot pump, and a spray nozzle. To make it hot, I have to heat water on the stove or hang the bag in the sun for several hours, yet it still costs over $150. For $310, the BougeRV heated shower seems like a bargain.The BougeRV system can produce a maximum heat output of 20,500 BTUs - about half o …Read the full story at The Verge.

There has been a lot of discourse around the use of AI in rendering video games. Right now, there are two AI models doing some serious work: Frame Generation and DLSS 4. Frame Generation aims to boost framerates by using AI to fill in the gaps with what people call "fake frames." Meanwhile, DLSS 4 allows PCs to render the game at a lower quality, then uses AI to scale the image up a few resolutions so it can look good without taking a toll on your hardware.

I've been using Proxmox a lot recently, deploying various different systems and containers across both of my machines in order to move some of my more essential systems away from my main server. However, one of my two Proxmox machines is the Ugreen DXP4800 Plus NAS, which also serves as my OPNsense machine. As a result, while it works perfectly for that purpose, I have been looking for a way to utilize the 12TB of storage that's still inside it. I've installed HexOS (based on TrueNAS) using those drives, and it works, though not effortlessly.

It's going to be a long wait for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI. It almost seems like so many other things will happen before the world finally gets to play GTA 6 on home consoles. But does that mean you have to go back and play GTA V to satisfy your open-world fix? No, not exactly. As everyone is waiting for Rockstar's next big open-world game to hit store shelves, there are plenty of other open-world games to play to help pass the time.

These boots were not made for walking, but you can use AI to make them do it anyway.Even at first glance, there's something off about the body on the street. The white sheet it's under is a little too clean, and the officers' movements are totally devoid of purpose. "We need to clear the street," one of them says with a firm hand gesture, though her lips don't move. It's AI, alright. But here's the kicker: my prompt didn't include any dialogue.Veo 3, Google's new AI video generation model, added that line all on its own. Over the past 24 hours I've created a dozen clips depicting news reports, disasters, and goofy cartoon cats with convincing audio - some of which the model invented all on its own. It's more than a little creepy and way more sophisticated than I had imagined. And while I don't think it's going to propel us to a misinformation doomsday just yet, Veo 3 strikes me as an absolute AI slop machine.AI generated video: Made with Veo 3Google introduced Veo 3 at I/O this week, highlighting its most important new capability: generating sound to go with your AI video. "We're entering a new era of creation," Google's VP of Gemini, Josh Woodward, explained in the keynote, calling it "incredibly realistic." I wasn't completely sold, but then, a few days lat …Read the full story at The Verge.

Performance monitoring overlays from tools like MSI Afterburner and NVIDIA app are extremely handy for checking how well your hardware performs while gaming or stress-testing your PC. From FPS count to CPU clock speeds and GPU temperature, you can view all the information you need while actively playing your favorite games. But after using these tools regularly for well over a decade, I've realized that my peace of mind is more important as a PC gamer — after all, ignorance is bliss.

A couple of months back, I developed an inclination towards 3D designing, so I decided to pick up a 3D printer to bring my creativity to life. It was one of the best decisions I made sense 3D printing is an excellent hobby, especially if you like fixing things around the house. In fact, I've also printed a ton of functional accessories and tools apart from fixing broken stuff, which has helped me save quite a bit of money. Since I was new to 3D printing, I decided to purchase the Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro -- a relatively low-end, entry-level printer. While it caters to my requirements, one downside was that the Marlin firmware prints rather slowly, and I could operate the printer only using the connected display.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy starts off by asking a simple question: what happens when you pluck a handful of colorful teenagers from their homes, plop them in a state-of-the-art school filled with every convenience, then force them to fight for their lives? Your guide as you navigate this question is an unsettling and creepy-cute mascot that knows more than it's let on, and there's an overarching mystery to the world that you can't quite put your finger on. If you, like I, answered "Danganronpa!" - as this premise sounds very much like the plot of the quirky and irreverent murder-mystery series from Spike Chunsoft - then congratulations! We're both totally wrong! And after 45 in-game days with LDA, I still have no idea what's going on, and I love it.I'm going to be gentle with myself and you for thinking LDA is another entry in the genre of high school-themed killing games. After all, it was developed by Kazutaka Kodaka, creator and writer of the Danganronpa franchise, in collaboration with Kotaro Uchikoshi, known for his work on the adventure-puzzle game series Zero Escape. And though LDA oozes with the DNA from both series, it stands so completely apart mechanical …Read the full story at The Verge.
