I love my Steam Deck. I use it daily, enjoying everything from bite-sized indies and retro gems (thanks, EmuDeck!) to AAA games on its easy-to-use interface.

The VC Math Ain’t Mathin’: This Health Investor Has a Fresh Playbook

Venture economics relies on a simple equation: raise a large fund, back dozens of companies and count on a handful of billion-dollar winners to “return the fund” by generating outsized returns that more than offset inevitable failures. The formula has produced some of Silicon Valley’s most iconic companies like Airbnb, Nvidia, Snowflake, Databricks and Stripe. But in health tech, investors and advisors are questioning whether that math still works.

‘Off Campus’ Star Ella Bright Had No Idea Niall Horan Recorded ‘Baby Now That I Found You’ Duet

Can't Let You Go

The actress compared it to “This Town,” the debut solo single from Horan from the early post-One Direction days

Secrets are an essential part of the hit series Off Campus — and on the show’s newly released soundtrack, Off Campus: The Mixtape (Extra Credit). The team behind the project left Ella Bright, who stars as music major Hannah Wells, in the dark until the perfect moment came to reveal their own surprise twist: Niall Horan recorded vocals to turn her cover of the Foundations’ “Baby Now That I Found You” into an endearing duet.

10 Xbox games Microsoft should make backward-compatible on PC

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget how diverse the original Xbox game library really was. Early in its life, a handful of major Japanese publishers released some absolute bangers. Sega was surprisingly prolific, Tecmo truly came into its own, and Microsoft itself worked with skilled partners to develop a variety of hidden gems. Other third parties from around the world made terrific contributions that ensured there was always something new and compelling to play. Soon, it could be easy to revisit this halcyon era — or at least parts of it.

Hydrogel electrode improves stability of insect-based odor sensors for drones

Drones are increasingly being used for disaster response, infrastructure inspection and environmental monitoring. However, most drone systems rely primarily on cameras and other visual sensors, which can become ineffective in smoke, dust, darkness or collapsed structures. Odor sensing could provide a valuable complementary capability by enabling drones to detect gas leaks and chemical emissions that cannot be identified through visual sensing alone. Yet a major challenge has limited the practical use of such biohybrid sensors: Excised insect antennae gradually lose signal quality as they dry out, and the electrical interface becomes unstable.

Sweeping, strafing and suppression: Total War: Warhammer 40,000 threatens to blow up Total War's combat fundamentals

Creative Assembly talk us through an Ork/Marine throwdown

Ford's New Customization Program Aims to Democratize Performance

• Ford is making a significant investment to scale up its factory and aftermarket parts, accessories, and turnkey performance business.
• Most parts, mods, and vehicles can be financed through Ford Credit.
• The Ford Maverick 300T, Mustang GT FP800s, and F-150 FP700 are all available as showroom-ready performance models.
  

Ford says over half of its customers are customizing their vehicles in some manner. That's a bold statement, but when you consider that it includes things as simple as floor mats and cargo-organizing systems, it's plausible. But while keeping your Explorer's carpets unsoiled and ensuring that a case of mid-priced Pinot Grigio survives the trip home from the grocery store unscathed is a noble cause, the real fun involves hardware like the 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger that blows hard enough to inflate the output of the current Mustang GT's stock 480-hp 5.0-liter V-8 to a hearty 800 horsepower.
