The era of fixing your own gadgets has nearly arrived, and Valve's Steam Deck handheld gaming PC may be setting the best example yet — not only does it offer a repair-friendly design, but it now looks like almost every part will be sold separately at iFixit.

This evening, the company prematurely revealed a huge collection of its promised repair parts at its website, and we were surprised to see everything down to the motherboard with the AMD Aerith chip at the heart of the Steam Deck will soon be available, admittedly for a pricey $350.

In fact, iFixit will even sell parts that might be considered upgrades for an existing Steam Deck — if you decide you'd rather have...

This evening, Boeing's new passenger spacecraft, the CST-100 Starliner, successfully docked itself to the International Space Station — demonstrating that the vehicle can potentially bring humans to the ISS in the future. It's a crucial capability that Starliner has finally validated in space after years of delays and failures.

Starliner is in the midst of a key test flight for NASA called OFT-2, for Orbital Flight Test-2. The capsule, developed by Boeing for NASA's Commercial Crew Program, was made to transport NASA's astronauts to and from the space station. But before anyone climbs on board, NASA tasked Boeing with conducting an uncrewed flight demonstration of Starliner to show that the capsule can hit all of the major milestones...

Apple reportedly chose a standalone AR / VR headset over a more powerful tethered design

Apple's rumored mixed reality headset seems like the worst-kept secret in tech, and a new report about the device from The Information (its second this week) is chock full of details about the unannounced product's turbulent development.

One of the most notable parts of the story is about Apple's decision to go with a standalone headset. At one point, Apple hadn't yet decided whether to move forward with a more powerful VR headset that would be paired with a base station or a standalone one. While Apple's AR / VR leader Mike Rockwell apparently preferred the version with the base station — which included a processor that eventually shipped as the M1 Ultra, according to The Information — Apple executives chose to go with the standalone...

Twitter’s latest update will make third party apps better

Twitter announced an update on Friday that should significantly improve the experience inside third-party Twitter apps: it's giving developers far more access to its reverse chronological timeline. This update to Twitter's recently launched API v2, the interface that developers use to get data from Twitter, is a new (and, in my opinion, encouraging) step in Twitter's journey to better support developers.

As Twitter notes in its announcement post, the new API v2 feature gives developers a way to "retrieve the most recent Tweets and Retweets posted by the authenticated user and the accounts they follow." In other words, a developer can ask to see the data that Twitter shows you when you load up the first party app with the "Latest Tweets"...

Microsoft is testing Android 12.1 and other improvements for Windows 11

Posted: 20 May 2022 12:29 PM PDT

Currently, the only official way to install Android apps on Windows is through Amazon's store.

It seems like Microsoft isn't resting on its laurels when it comes to the system that lets Windows 11 run Android apps: on Friday, the company announced an update that upgrades the version of Android running on your computer and helps make the apps feel more at home running on a PC. The Windows Subsystem for Android update is currently only available to test for Windows Insiders, but that's probably a good thing for reasons we'll touch on in just a moment.

The headlining improvement is an update to the version of Android that underpins Windows' ability to run mobile apps. The current public release seems to be using Android 11 (based on some prodding I did using developer tools), but the version that Microsoft is testing is running...

Google Chat has replaced Hangouts and will now display banners warning you against potential phishing and malware attacks coming from personal accounts, Google announced on Thursday. This tweak for Google Chat is the latest expansion of Google's attempts to prevent phishing.

During its 2022 I/O developer conference, Google discussed several security measures it has implemented to enhance user safety, including warnings against potential security issues and recommendations to fix them. Google also laid out other plans for security measures, like expanded two-step verification, ad customization, and more data security.

More accurate wind forecasts can save Americans millions in energy costs

Better wind forecasting can save American consumers millions of dollars a year on their collective utility bills, a new study finds. Wind energy costs have already plummeted thanks to more efficient turbines, but there's still a major hurdle to overcome when it comes to renewable energy: intermittency. Unlike coal and gas-fired power plants, wind and solar farms can only churn out as much electricity as the weather will allow.

So, accurate weather forecasts are crucial for utilities to be able to plan how much wind energy they'll have on hand on any given day. Wind energy has grown quickly to power nearly 10 percent of the US electricity mix today. The Biden administration has a goal of reaching a carbon pollution-free energy grid by...

Three Thousand Years of Longing’s first trailer is a kaleidoscope of cautionary tales

Posted: 20 May 2022 11:15 AM PDT

MGM

In George Miller's upcoming Three Thousand Years of Longing, the key to getting the most out of magical wishes without suffering repercussions isn't being clever or trying to outsmart the ancient djinn that's been trapped in a bottle for countless lifetimes. It's stalling.

Three Thousand Years of Longing — an epic fantasy based on novelist A.S. Byatt's short story "The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye" — tells the story of Dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton), a solitary mythography scholar who's almost entirely thrown herself into her work. The movie's new trailer finds Alithea on her way to Istanbul both for a conference and a bit of shopping at a bazaar where she just so happens to purchase the bottle containing a djinn (Idris Elba)....
