The cute, portable, and banana yellow $179 Playdate console is now shipping to its first batch of preorder customers, so we're now free to review the quirkiest gaming system in years. Thanks to chip shortages and general manufacturing chaos, buying Playdate is much less fun than using it. If you preordered the system in July 2021 after reading my hands-on preview , great. If you waited for a proper review like this one, however, expect a backorder queue of no fewer than eight months. (At least Panic says it will make as many Playdates as people want to buy, instead of pulling an NES Classic and limiting production .) To those who ran with my previous optimism about Playdate's squat form factor, quirky games, and unique crank control system , I am happy to report that I didn't lead you astray—so long as you heeded my specific bias. As I wrote in July: I'm partial to experimental, quick-fire indie fare, which the Playdate is clearly tailored toward. This most often … [Read more...] about Review: Playdate earns its $179 price tag with cute design, memorable games [Updated]

Amazon is updating its small and inexpensive Fire 7 tablet for the first time in three years , and it’s bringing some crowd-pleasing features: the updated tablet will feature USB-C charging, better battery life, and faster performance. Amazon is, however, raising the starting price tag a tad — from $49.99 to $59.99. Amazon says that the tablet’s quad-core processor is “30 percent faster” and that it’ll have 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB. In theory, the extra memory should make it so you can load more web pages at a time, and you won’t have to wait around for apps to start back up as often when you’re switching between them. The company also says the tablet will last about 40 percent longer between charges, estimating you’ll be able to do about 10 hours of browsing or video watching. Of course, the headlining feature is how you’ll be charging up that battery. The previous Fire 7 featured a micro-USB charging port, but the refresh replaces it with a more modern connection. Amazon also … [Read more...] about Amazon’s new Fire 7 tablet finally has a USB-C port

Asus has added a 16-inch option to its clever (and generally good) ROG Flow lineup. It’s called the Flow X16, and it seems like a 2-in-1 beast for multimedia and even some high-end gaming. While the 13.4-inch X13 and Z13 tablets could do some gaming, they weren’t capable of playing games smoothly at high settings — at least not without the pricey, powerful XG Mobile external GPU-meets-docking station. The X16, on the other hand, seems like a solid gaming laptop in its own right given that it can be configured with up to AMD’s Ryzen 9 6900HS and Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti (100W maximum graphics power). It also supports up to 64GB of fast DDR5 RAM clocked at 4,800MHz. There’s an option for a Mini LED glass-covered touchscreen that has up to 1,100 nits at peak brightness, 100 percent DCI-P3 gamut coverage, and support for VESA’s DisplayHDR 1000 standard. As if those specs weren’t impressive enough for a gaming laptop, this lineup can be equipped with QHD displays at 165Hz refresh rate … [Read more...] about Asus’ ROG Flow X16 is a big, powerful 2-in-1 gaming laptop

More than half of all homes, 56 percent, in the contiguous 48 states face at least some wildfire risk in the next few decades, according to a first-of-its-kind report published today by the nonprofit research organization First Street Foundation. First Street gave each address in the continental US a rating between one to 10, with one representing close to no risk and 10 representing a 36 percent or more likelihood that a property could be caught up in a wildfire sometime during the next three decades. More than 20 million properties across the continental US are threatened by at least “moderate” wildfire risk. Those homes have up to a 6 percent chance of being in a blaze at some point over a 30-year timespan, the typical timeframe for a home mortgage. Even a 1 percent chance of being in a wildfire is worth taking seriously. In comparison, the federal government considers an area with a 1 percent chance of flooding in a given year as a “ Special Flood Hazard Area ” on … [Read more...] about Over half of US properties face at least some wildfire risk

Linux is a multiuser operating system, so creating numerous user accounts is easy. Over time, it’s easy to lose track of which accounts are required. Listing user accounts helps you manage them. User Accounts Advances in technology often bring their own new problems. As soon as computers were able to support multiple users, the need to ring-fence and encapsulate each person’s work from everyone else became apparent. This led to the concept of user accounts . Each user has a named ID and a password. These are the credentials that let them log into their account. Their files are kept in an area that is private to each user. On a busy system, it is easy to lose sight of which accounts you have created, and which are no longer needed. From a security point of view, it is bad practice to keep user accounts that you no longer need to be configured and accessible on your computer. You should remove those users . Even if you don’t have other people using your computer you might … [Read more...] about How to List Users in Linux

The certification mentions the charging rate at 2.5W via Qi Wireless charging, the same as the original Pixel Buds from 2020.
