What if the future of AI-driven search wasn’t just about speed or accuracy, but about making complex systems accessible to everyone? Enter Gemini File Search, a tool that promises to simplify the notoriously intricate world of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Imagine a system that takes care of the heavy lifting: ingesting files, breaking them into manageable […]

Valve has announced a raft of new hardware, including a new VR headset, Steam Machine and Controller. The devices are all designed to usher in a new era of PC gaming, with Valve’s usual focus on the player. Steam Frame is a slender VR headset that connects wirelessly to your PC and has a built-in battery to rid you of those pesky cables. That focus on freedom extends to the Frame operating as a standalone device, like the Meta Quest.
At the same time, the company has revived its long-loved (but not massively successful) Steam Machine. This new model has semi-custom AMD silicon capable of running 4K games at 60 frames per second. Valve says it’s roughly six times as powerful as its portable unit, the Steam Deck. Rounding out the list is the controller, which looks like a Steam Deck with the screen cut out. But it’s not as if that’s a bad thing, especially as it’s got TMR sensors which, while using a different underlying technology, promise the same benefits as a Hall Effect stick.
As someone on the not particularly game-y end of the spectrum, I use announcements like this as an exercise to see how excited I would be. To that end, I’m curious how much Valve will charge for this gear when it makes its debut early next year. On one hand, the performance promises laid out here are fairly substantial but, on the other, this is also a company that sells the base model Steam Deck for less than a Switch 2.
That said, I would certainly get off the couch if there was a new Half-Life game in the works, and that seems plausible here. Nathan Ingraham is certainly getting his little hopes up that the revival of the Steam Machine might see Valve revive something else too.

I was a massive fan of Even Realities’ original smart glasses and was excited to see what Sam Rutherford thought of their successor. Sadly, he was testing the specs with a beta version of the new software and found them lacking in several important ways. He’s urging folks to hold off buying these until the gaps in the software have all been filled in.
For years, the world has clamored for a modular, upgradeable gaming laptop offering the same longevity as a desktop. Now, Framework has achieved where so many have failed, selling an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 for its two-year-old Laptop 16.

DJI’s Neo was good but not great — short battery life, noisy propellers and a lack of object avoidance all dulled its shine. Now, the company’s successor has addressed all of those issues, leading our Steve Dent to call it “the best personal drone on the market.”

Instant cameras had their moment, then faded away, then came roaring back as nostalgia items for people who missed the tactile joy of physical photos. The problem is that film for these cameras costs a fortune, and the quality is wildly inconsistent depending on lighting and luck. Digital cameras solve those issues, but they’ve also gotten so advanced that taking a quick snapshot requires navigating menus and settings. Sometimes you just want to point, click, and move on without worrying about resolution.
Studio Seven’s Retro Digital Toy Camera brings back the playful simplicity of instant cameras without the expensive film or fussy controls. Released as part of the brand’s anniversary collection, this palm-sized gadget mimics the chunky, geometric shape of classic Polaroid cameras but swaps the film cartridge for a microSD card. The result is a tiny camera that captures lo-fi digital images and videos with the charm of retro photography, all in a package you can hang from your bag.
Designer: Studio Seven
The camera itself is impossible to miss. A bold orange-and-white design dominates the look, with Studio Seven branding across the front and a red shutter button perched on top. The front features a large faux lens, a small viewfinder window, and two black buttons that handle power and capture functions. The whole thing weighs just 15 grams and fits easily in your palm or pocket.
Of course, the specs aren’t going to compete with your smartphone. The camera shoots stills at 1280×960 pixels and video at 640×480, both deliberately low-res to recreate that grainy, film-camera aesthetic. The images look like they were taken in the early 2000s, which is exactly the point. You’re not getting crisp photos here, but you are getting something that feels fun and spontaneous rather than overly polished.
What makes the camera genuinely practical is how easy it is to carry. The included keychain lets you attach it to a bag, belt loop, or backpack, so it’s always within reach when you want to snap a quick photo. There’s also a strap for wearing it around your neck, turning it into a wearable accessory that doubles as a conversation starter.
The camera saves files to a microSD card, which you’ll need to buy separately since it doesn’t come with one. Cards up to 64GB are supported, which should be plenty for thousands of low-res images. The lack of waterproofing means you’ll want to keep it away from rain or spills, but for casual everyday use, it holds up fine.
The Studio Seven Retro Digital Toy Camera captures instant photography’s appeal without the usual headaches. You get the playful experience of a chunky retro camera with the convenience of digital files you can share however you want. For anyone who misses the spontaneity of disposable cameras but doesn’t want to deal with film costs, this offers a fun alternative that’s light enough to carry everywhere.
