Few deny the impressive and surprisingly consistent creativity Nintendo has delivered for more than 40 years, but even within that ecosystem of fun ideas, Rhythm Heaven stands out. The series represents a wonderful and wildly unique collection of concepts that are not beholden to Nintendo’s history and make me happy, proud, anxious, and angry all in equal measure. Groove is not my favorite in the series, but it stands tall alongside the rest to earn permanent placement on my Switch hard drive. If you’re unfamiliar, Rhythm Heaven (and Groove is no exception) is a collection of individual rhythm minigames that…

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor has moved from announcement to Amazon listing. The XV273U F5 is priced at $699.99, giving competitive players a real number to weigh before one of the fastest displays headed to North America actually ships. Availability is still the problem. Amazon lists the monitor as temporarily out of stock, and Acer has previously pointed to a Q4 North America launch window instead of a firm release date. The bigger question is whether the fastest mode deserves the attention. The XV273U F5 is a 27-inch QHD monitor first, and its most extreme refresh rate requires a serious cut…

Amazon’s new Fire Sticks are starting to close off one of the device’s biggest unofficial perks, installing apps from outside Amazon’s Appstore. The change comes with Vega OS, Amazon’s newer Linux-based Fire TV software. Amazon introduced the Fire TV Stick 4K Select as the first Fire TV Stick to run Vega OS, and its developer site says future Fire TV Sticks will use the platform. Older Fire Sticks ran Fire OS, an Android-based system that gave users more room for outside apps and tinkering. Vega OS doesn’t treat sideloading the same way Fire OS did. Amazon’s developer docs still allow…

The dream of flying faster than the speed of sound just took a major step forward. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a proposed rule that would create the first noise-based certification standards for a new generation of supersonic passenger aircraft, removing one of the biggest regulatory hurdles standing in the way of commercial Mach 1+ flights. The goal is simple: fly faster without the boom For decades, overland supersonic flights have been heavily restricted because of the disruptive sonic boom created when aircraft break the sound barrier. The FAA now says advances in aerospace engineering, materials science, and…

While Samsung already has a bunch of wearables, its upcoming smart glasses might tighten the experience even further. A new leak from SammyGuru offers an early look at the Galaxy Glasses Manager app, the companion app Samsung is expected to use for its new smart glasses. The leak does not reveal final pricing, battery life, launch date, or every hardware spec. Unlike your typical leak that just hints at a device, the companion app actually makes it sound more real. The app shows how the glasses work The leaked setup flow reportedly walks users through pairing the glasses, granting permissions,…

Your smartphone’s keyboard is the thing you interact with the most, and yet, it has largely remained the same since it was introduced two decades ago. Yes, it has become better at understanding our typing habits and predicting text, but its function has largely remained unchanged.  A Singapore startup called Acti looked at the keyboard and the large space it occupies on your smartphone and asked a fair question. Why not make it actually do things? After seeing its keyboard in action, I think the idea has legs. Acti, short for “action,” just launched on iOS and Android. It is…

Ray-Ban Meta glasses owners are getting less free use out of one of the glasses’ AI features starting this month. Conversation Focus, which isolates and amplifies the voice of the person a wearer is talking to in loud settings, has been capped at three hours of use per month for anyone who doesn’t pay for Meta One Premium. Meta confirmed the change on a support page this week, which also notes that a subscription is not required to use the AI glasses in general. What the new usage tiers actually look like Spread evenly across a month, that free allowance…

The headline update is that Spark is coming to the Gemini macOS app. This means it can finally step out of the chat window and interact with your desktop files and apps. Say your Downloads folder is a mess, which mine…

Anthropic is restoring full access to Claude Fable 5 starting tomorrow, weeks after a US government directive forced the company to suspend the model for all users. The government order arrived on June 12 and required Anthropic to block foreign nationals from using Fable 5 and its more capable Mythos 5 model. Since the rule took effect immediately and Anthropic had no way to verify a user’s nationality in real time, the company suspended both models entirely rather than risk a violation. What triggered the shutdown The restrictions followed a report from Amazon researchers, who found a way to prompt…
