Turn your modern handheld into a makeshift Nintendo DS using Retroid’s clamp-on secondary screen accessory. | Image: RetroidThe Nintendo DS was a wildly successful console, but emulating its unique dual screen design on modern handhelds is a challenge. You can try to squeeze both screens onto a single touchscreen, attempt to completely recreate the DS’ unique hardware, or do what Retroid is doing and release a temporary clamp-on, secondary screen that’s compatible with its handhelds and other third-party devices.The Retroid Dual Screen Add-on is currently available through the company’s online store in black, purple (inspired by the GameCube), and translucent white color options for $69, but are currently sold out. That includes a version designed for Retroid’s own Pocket handhelds including the RP Mini, RP Mini V2, RP4 Pro, and RP5, and the version for third-party handhelds. As long as a device isn’t taller than 115mm and supports DisplayPort over USB-C it should be compatible, but Retroid specifically points out the Steam Deck is not.Featuring a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and dedicated brightness buttons on the side, the Dual Screen Add-on attaches to devices with an expanding clamp and can be positioned at three different angles using a “click-stop hinge.” However, the second screen can’t be folded flat against the handheld it’s attached to like with the DS.The add-on features touchscreen functionality, which is supported through the DisplayPort protocol. If your handheld of choice is lacking touch capabilities, hanging the add-on off the bottom will let you play DS games that heavily relied on lower touchscreen interactions. But since Retroid’s Dual Screen Add-on is at its core just an external display for a handheld, what games you can play and how the screen will be utilized is left to the device’s operating system or the emulator you’re using.The add-on weighs around 130 grams, thanks in part to it skipping a built-in battery. It’s powered directly by the device it’s connected to, but it does have its own USB-C port with pass-through charging capabilities so you can keep both the display and your handheld running without killing its battery.

I recently picked up the Home Assistant Voice Preview, essentially a smart speaker not unlike a Google Home Mini or an Amazon Echo Dot. The difference is that you control it, creating your own commands, and giving you the ability to process audio and have it respond back to you in any way you'd like. So, naturally, mine now responds to me exactly like GLaDOS would, complete with a GLaDOS voice.

With Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg revitalized the Predator franchise and showed us all how wildly thrilling its central conceit could still be with just a little bit of reworking. Prey took the classic Predator story and made it feel new by focusing on the past and framing its alien characters' excursions to Earth as part of a much older deadly tradition. Expanding the Predator series with even more Prey-like narratives seemed like a no-brainer for 20th Century Studios.Though it's a leaner, meaner feature, Hulu's Predator: Killer of Killers takes everything that worked about Prey and condenses it into short and sweet exploration of other chapters from the franchise's past. The animated anthology's Arcane-inspired visuals are gorgeously gory, and its action set pieces are incredibly sharp. Killer of Killers isn't exactly trying to reinvent the wheel, and if you've seen a Predator movie before, little of it will take you by surprise. But as a bloody amuse-bouche meant to whet our appetites before Predator: Badlands hits theaters later this year, Killer of Killers absolutely gets the job done.Set at three different points in human history, Killer of Killers tells the familiar …Read the full story at The Verge.

Tactical games are experiences that force players to really think outside the box. It's not always enough to go barging into a situation with guns blazing, and instead approach things with a more clever strategy. Some of the best turn-based tactical games will offer enough freedom to try different things, while also rewarding players for being smart about how they play. When you take the time to think things through, great victories can be achieved and progress made.

Apple didn’t just give all of its operating systems a design refresh with the new Liquid Glass material, the Cupertino-based giant also packed in new features and capabilities across the board. And when it comes to iPadOS 26 (yeah, Apple changed its naming scheme too), it might’ve just finally blurred the lines between iPads and MacBooks.

The FDA has issued its first ever approval on a safety consultation for lab-grown fish. That makes Wildtype only the fourth company to get approval from the regulator to sell cell-cultivated animal products, and its cultivated salmon is now available to order from one Portland restaurant.Wildtype announced last week that the FDA had sent a letter declaring it had “no questions” about whether the cultivated salmon is “as safe as comparable foods,” the customary final step in the FDA’s approval process for lab-grown animal products. The FDA has sole responsibility for regulating most lab-grown seafood, whereas the task is shared with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for cultivated meat.The FDA’s pre-market safety consultation is voluntary, but is “helpful for marketability,” IP lawyer Dr. Emily Nytko-Lutz, who specializes in biotechnology patents, explained to The Verge. “There are other pathways involving self-affirmation of safety as well as a longer food additive review process, but the FDA’s authorisation with a ‘No Questions’ letter is a middle ground.”Wildtype salmon is now on the menu at Haitian restaurant Kann in Portland, Oregon, and the company has opened a waitlist for the next five restaurants to stock the fish. It joins Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companies with permission to sell cultivated chicken in the US, while Mission Barns has been cleared by the FDA but is awaiting USDA approval for its cultivated pork fat. At a state level, the situation is more complicated, with eight states issuing bans on lab-grown meat as the technology becomes a conservative talking point.

Roku is experimenting with a new homepage that aims to make it easier to jump into your favorite apps and discover new things to watch. The test is rolling out to a small number of Roku users now and adds new sections like Quick Access, which automatically populates with the apps you visit the most.That means if you’re watching Netflix a lot, or often peruse Roku’s selection of action movies across multiple apps, the service will put shortcuts to those destinations beneath Quick Access. Right now, there’s no way to manually remove or add apps to the Quick Access section, but Preston Smalley, Roku’s VP of viewer product, tells The Verge that the company is “trying some different approaches” to this.“One of the things we know that’s going to be really important is that it just needs to work right out of the box,” Smalley said. “We’re definitely trying to see how much control people want, but that’s something we want to hear from customers on.”With the redesign, you’ll no longer land on the left-hand sidebar when you select the “home” button on your remote, either. Now, your cursor will automatically appear within the grid on the homepage, while the panel on the left side remains closed.Roku also moved some of the panel’s options to the main grid, including “Live TV” and “Featured Free,” with the goal of making them easier to find. “We had actually some pretty compelling and delightful destinations, but it was only a minority of people that were finding them,” Smalley said. “What we think will happen with this change, and with what we’re testing, is that more users will actually discover some of these great ways to browse across the platform.”These two options now live beneath “The Best Across Your Streaming Services” section, along with some new tiles, like “Subscriptions,” where you can view all of your subscription-based content, and “For You,” which Smalley said is a “reimagining” of Roku’s “What to Watch” option that serves up personalized recommendations. You’ll also find a “What are you in the mood for?” section that lets you browse shows and movies within different categories, such as “New & Popular,” “Food,” and “Drama.” Though Roku has been experimenting with different types of ads in recent months, the amount — or types — of ads isn’t changing as part of this homepage redesign. The large marquee ad on the right side of the homepage will stay in its place, but Roku is moving two ad placements beneath your “top picks.”“We’re always looking to make the Roku experience just better, more intuitive, more engaging, and even more personalized,” Smalley added. “What we want to do is make sure that the home screen experience fits well with just how you watch TV today.”As Roku continues testing its new design, it may move things around a bit, so you may not see the format exactly as described here. The company plans on collecting user feedback before widely rolling out the change, and will also give users the ability to opt-out of the update during the test.

The PC hardware space can be as superficial or deep as you want it to be. Depending on your patience with details, you can continue to enjoy your PC without ever getting into the nitty-gritty of it. For those who like to dig deeper, there are an awful lot of misconceptions and half-truths associated with popular hardware and performance terms associated with CPUs, GPUs, and other PC components.

Seagate now offers a 4TB version of its Xbox storage expansion card. | Image: SeagateSeagate has announced a new 4TB version of its storage expansion card for the Xbox Series X and S consoles. It’s the first time the company has introduced a new capacity since launching 2TB and 512GB versions of the expansion card in late 2021.The 4TB card is available starting today through Seagate’s online store and Best Buy for $499.99, but is discounted to $429.99 as part of a limited-time launch promotion. For comparison, the Xbox Series S starts at $379.99, while the Xbox Series X starts at $599.99. But, the added storage may be required by folks with large libraries of games. Depending on the options and expansions you install, games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Microsoft Flight Simulator can easily gobble up hundreds of gigs of storage each. You can increase the Xbox’s storage capacity using an external drive connected over USB, but to play games directly from an SSD, without having to move files around, requires the storage expansion cards.You may want to wait for a price drop, though. The 2TB version of the card was originally priced at $399.99, but is now listed on Seagate’s online store for $249.99, with a current promotion bringing it down to $219.99. For nearly three years, Seagate was the only company offering expandable storage cards for the Xbox Series X and S, but in mid-2023 Western Digital introduced its own. Its current pricing and capacities are comparable to Seagate’s offerings. Western Digital hasn’t yet introduced a 4TB option.Although the added competition did help bring the price of Seagate’s expansion cards down, they’re still more expensive than storage expansions for the PlayStation 5, which allows you to use any SSD as long as it meets certain performance requirements. Not only does Western Digital already sell a PS5-compatible 4TB SSD for $339.99, it also offers an 8TB option, although that will set you back a steep $699.99.
