I don’t like where Windows is going. Gaming on Linux has never been more approachable. Time to give it a shot.
Rebble, which has kept the Pebble platform going, is at odds with Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky, just as Pebble is making its comeback.
Rebble is accusing Migicovsky’s company, Core Devices, of stealing its work, while Migicovsky claims Rebble is trying to build a walled garden around data scraped from the original Pebble Appstore.
Amazon MGM Studios has greenlit a new Stargate series for Prime Video, with Martin Gero as writer and showrunner. Gero formerly wrote, produced, and directed episodes of all three of the original Stargate series. The Prime Video series is the second attempt to revive the franchise after the Stargate: Origins mini-series in 2018.
Copilot’s limitations are ever-present, and it can lead you astray on even the basics.
Videos on YouTube make it seem like one swipe of a scanning pen like this will give you all the answers. I tested it out on math, science, and history questions.
The company was awarded a ridehailing permit by the state’s Department of Transportation, which clears the way for Tesla to launch a robotaxi service — potentially without safety drivers. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said he wants to launch in 8-10 new markets before the end of 2025.
The digital movie rental shop is slated to debut in early December. Letterboxd describes it as “curated shelves instead of just scrolling lists endlessly without being able to make up your mind on what to watch.”

Valve’s big hardware push: you asked, we answered.
Last week, Ubisoft delayed releasing its most recent earnings report and asked European markets to stop trading its shares. This week, the company says it’ll release the report before trading opens on November 21st. So whatever’s going on over there, we’ll find out soon enough.
Jsaux was early to ride the Steam Deck wave, and it’s even earlier to committing to the Steam Machine. Months ahead of its launch, Jsaux shared renders of two screen-equipped face plates, one of which seems similar to Valve’s not-for-sale e-paper prototype. My big question: how will these be powered?
At 218 grams the $109.99 Samsung Smart Keyboard is over 288 grams lighter than Logitech’s MX Keys Mini but can also connect and switch between three Bluetooth devices. It’s powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery and includes shortcuts for accessing Bixby, Gemini, or Copilot when connected to a PC.
Microsoft is finally bringing back calendar appointments to the notification center in Windows 11. It was removed at the launch of Windows 11 in 2021, after Microsoft reworked the taskbar. The new “Agenda view” will be available in preview builds of Windows 11 next month, according to Microsoft.
Documents released by the House Oversight Committee shed light on Epstein’s day-to-day, largely via email — including his preoccupation with his Google presence.
When Honor first revealed its outlandishly named Robot Phone — really a smartphone with a flip-out DJI Osmo Pocket-esque camera arm built into the back — it was only in a slick CGI video. Now it’s shown off prototype hardware at its Honor User Carnival in China, suggesting this concept is one step closer to reality.
The mythical pokémon Zeraora has been almost impossible to obtain in the mainline games since it was first introduced in Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon. But that’s probably going to change next month when the monster’s new Mega Evolved form debuts in Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC.
The company announced its new $219.99 wireless controller for the PS5 and PC last month but it wasn’t immediately available in the US due to “pending regulatory clearance” as a result of the government shutdown. A few weeks later it’s finally available for purchase through Razer’s website.

Stop letting your streaming service take the reins and start listening with intention.
After communications between Larry Summers — who formerly held positions as Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University — and the sex offender were made public, the current OpenAI board member now says he’ll resign from the position.
Just about every response to the Echo Aviation Controller, with its jumble of levers and dials, takes a similar tone. It “looks so dumb,” it’s “got extreme doohicky vibes,” it’s “the game controller version of a Bop-It.” But we all want it.
Bazirker:
This looks like an absolute abomination of a device and I can’t wait to buy one

It’s without a head chef, as Eric Greenspan cuts ties after his 15 minutes of fame (infamy?) to open Jewish deli Mish.
The diner opened in July, drawing protests, and scrapped half its menu within a month. More changes are coming, with plans to convert to a full-service restaurant by January.

I want to know if Steam’s coming to Team Open or not. Paying 20-30 percent to a giant gatekeeper who intentionally structures their services so that, like, Steamworks users can’t talk to Fortnite users and so on, isn’t a very exciting prospect for the future right now.
As today’s Epic and Unity partnership shows, Epic is willing to work with its biggest competition — but I have my doubts that Valve will make the changes Epic wants anytime soon.
More than 1,600 lobbyists for oil, coal, and gas have crowded into pivotal international climate negotiations going down in Brazil. They outnumber delegations from every country in attendance except for Brazil, according to an analysis by the Kick Big Polluters Out coalition.
