As a gamer, I love that there’s *always* something to chase in this game. Whether it’s unlocking cool Calling Cards, completing tricky Dark Ops missions, earning those awesome Mastery Camos, progressing through the Battle Pass, or just grabbing new cosmetics and blueprints, there’s a constant sense of challenge and reward around every corner. It keeps things fresh and exciting!
Honestly, I haven’t played handheld games this much since the Nintendo DS! The Steam Deck really got me hooked last year, and now with the Xbox ROG Ally X, it’s been the same story. I’ve gotten to the point where I barely even turn on my Xbox Series S anymore – I mostly leave that for the kids now!

Linux adoption has recently plateaued, even decreasing slightly – by just 0.01% last month. This is a small dip, but surprising after a period of consistent, albeit slow, growth. Meanwhile, Windows 11 saw a significant increase in usage, climbing by 5.24%.
You can’t really escape it, especially if you use Microsoft products. Microsoft has added AI features to absolutely everything they offer – every app, service, and product – even if those features aren’t always well-made or helpful.
As a researcher, I’ve been looking at the recent updates to Teams, and they’re quite varied. They include things like the ability to detach key Teams features into separate windows, and importantly, support for recording calls – even at the queue level – using tools from other software vendors.
I’ve been using this controller for months and continue to recommend it to everyone. It offers the same comfortable Xbox experience, but addresses issues Microsoft hasn’t, like annoying stick drift, and it’s rechargeable without costing a fortune.
