Using my PS Vita for media beyond gaming came naturally, mostly because of the amazing homebrew community. I tried Swiftfin to stream content from my Jellyfin server, but one aspect was still missing: music.

Whenever you run into problems with Windows 11, it's usually time to start diving into all the possible causes. One of the ways to do that, and one we've recommended quite often here at XDA, is to use Event Viewer to find possible errors that led to a crash or blue screen.

CoreWeave had a bad week last week. Its bonds slipped into distressed territory by a common definition - when investors demand 1,000 basis points more in yield than they'd get from government bonds. Last Tuesady Chamath "SPAC King" Palihapitiya noticed the distressed debt, and also asked whether the AI buildout was a private credit bubble. Its shares are down more than 20 percent since Tuesday's close, which is kind of a lot! There even seemed to be some collateral damage in the market on other AI companies, too.Now, I have also asked if the AI industry is a bubble, but when the SPAC King echoes concerns held by a lady whose ongoing questi …Read the full story at The Verge.

The US is building more fossil fuel infrastructure than it has in a decade while renewable energy growth slows down, a new report shows.Electricity demand is also climbing faster than it has in more than a decade with more data centers, factories, and electric vehicles plugging into the grid. Despite those growing demands, the Trump administration has sought to hobble the wind and solar industries in favor of fossil fuels.America's energy landscape is already shifting as a result, according to the report published last week by the nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund and research firm Atlas Public Policy. If all the gas projects in the d …Read the full story at The Verge.

After using AI for a little while, I've come to realise that handing an LLM a task and telling it to "Just get it done" is ripe for disaster. It's always good to have a little bit of a personal touch so the result is just how you like it. As it turns out, people using Google Gemini's Notebook feature have noticed that they have very little control over generating Slide Decks and Video Overviews. Now, Google has added additional customization to Notebooks, where Gemini will pause and ask you the best way to proceed.

President Donald Trump announced this afternoon that Elon Musk's SpaceX shares for children will be given through Trump Accounts. Musk said earlier today that he would give one of his SpaceX shares to "every kid in America" sometime next year. Musk had thanked Trump Account booster Brad Gerstner for "helping enable this," and Trump appeared to confirm the plan in a post on Truth Social.Given the value of SpaceX's stock on Friday, 72 million shares would be worth approximately $10.5 billion, according to CNBC. "This will be the first of many," Musk said.Michael and Susan Dell, Ray and Barbara Dalio, Gerstner, and SpaceX president Gwynne …Read the full story at The Verge.

Just about everyone should know about the 3-2-1 backup rule by now. If you don't, it's a strategy that says you should have three copies of your files on two different types of media, with one off-site. Only then are your files truly protected from disasters — or, as I learned recently, most disasters.

The ASUS L410 laptop isn't going to be for everyone. However, if you need something super simple that's just for the basics, this laptop might be what you're looking for.

AI is getting so powerful that users are taking products into their own hands. Recently, we reported on how a team recreated Adobe's products using AI and offered them for free. Now, we're getting reports that people are vibe-coding solutions that strip the "smart" out of smart TVs, leaving them with just the bits people actually want.

The Miles is a smart plug for your car. My 15-year-old daughter just got her learner's permit, so when I was pitched a new gadget tailored to teen drivers, I was intrigued. The Miles Plug is a small device that plugs into your car's OBD-II port and monitors location, driving habits, and vehicle health, along with emergency accident response and roadside assistance. The idea is that knowing all these things should help me feel more comfortable when my daughter starts driving alone. I tested the (now discontinued) Ring Car Cam when my son was learning to drive, but he hated it and refused to turn it on; I wondered if the Miles could provide the same peace of mind without feeling a …Read the full story at The Verge.

It shouldn't surprise you that I spend a lot of time in front of a screen. Whether it's for my business or my writing, my days tend to run long. A few years ago, I invested in a large 43-inch monitor to maximize the screen real estate. But as large as it is, you can only fit so much on a desk. Plus, it didn't help that the monitor was locked to 60Hz.
