We’re very bullish on the handheld future of gaming. But we’re not bullish on the new ROG Xbox Ally. The Verge’s Sean Hollister joins the show to explain why this Xbox-branded device barely feels like an Xbox, and why it’s definitely not a threat to the Steam Deck, before he and David debate whether the future of Xbox is even in good hands. After that, The Verge’s Hayden Field walks David through a couple of important recent studies, asking the same basic question: is AI making us dumb? Finally, Sean return ...

Gummy bear power bank. Today I'm toying with a gummy bear battery that's shaking up the backpacking world because this 10,000 mAh everyday carry is so light and small. Hikers used to swear by this carbon fiber night core, but it cost 65 bucks.The Haribo is like $25 and so much cuter. But could it really be the lightweight champ. I weighed, measured, and analyzed power data to find out.And I threw in this $33 .NU because, well, you'll see. At around 80 cubic centimeters, the Nightcore is 27% smaller than the ...

Question number eight. Does this belong in the version history hall of fame. >> I think yes.It's a perfect gadget. It doesn't matter that it's big and bulky and it chewed through double A batteries and it doesn't work anymore. It's perfect.I also think yes, just because conceptually like just this whole time we've been talking about how everything it does was like a precursor to our current hell state in reality. So, like if you're talking about like version history, we have a lot of RIP gadgets that never ...

From the beginning of The Walkman, there were a lot of people who were like really up in arms about the existence of this thing. They're like, "It's isolating people. They're wearing headphones. They're not interacting in the real world. How am I supposed to know who's here?" You know, stuff that we're very familiar with now.

The way a CRT works is you have an electron gun that just shoots electrons at something and that's how it actually like takes and shows you a picture. Uh, normally in a TV that thing sits behind the screen that you see, right. And so that's the reason for the depth is like the bigger the screen, the more depth you need in order for the electron gun to hit all the areas.Uh, what Sony did was take that and turn it downwards. So instead of being like right behind the screen, it's actually below it. And you can ...

Fake, fake, fake. Cringe fake. I've been seeing a lot of AI generated Halloween decorations on social media and a lot of people have been falling for them. Okay, I've been seeing a lot of this one that people have been reposting.They have been blurring out the Sora 2 watermark so you are less likely to think it's AI. This one does the same thing. This one is actually terrifying.It's from a real video of someone posting this and then someone took it and then AI generated the clown just coming out at you and ...

In the early 1980s, two things were probably true about your TV. One, it was enormous. And two, it was at your house.They were in family rooms, in TV rooms. It was a place that you went to watch TV. But what if you're at church and you'd rather be watching the baseball game. Or what if you're at your kids' baseball game and you'd rather watch, frankly, anything else at all.Well, Sony, maker of the Walkman, changer of the way that we all listen to music, has something for you. It's called the Watchman and it ...

Meta has confused itself into fully believing that they have found the form factor by which people will engage with their AI assistant and it's like no they just have a camera that you just made a camera and literally a pair of Ray-B bands that look pretty good and so people bought the camera and the pair of Ray-B bands look pretty good and then you get all the way to if people have the AI assistant now we have to put a screen on there because everyone wants to build AR and you're like now the glasses look ...

We got some Tesla Cybert truck sales numbers. I wouldn't say the wiper is a hit, David. I would say that they only sold 5,385 Cybert trucks in this last quarter.Uh down 63% compared to last year. And they've only sold 16,000 Cybert trucks so far in 2025. >> Oh boy.>> Uh which is not 250,000 which is what Elon Musk predicted they would sell annually. >> No, it isn't. That's that's solid observation from Neil Abatel.That is not in fact 250,000. >> Uh the obviously they're only going to sell 20,000 this year. ...
