Really bummed OnePlus is pulling out of the US. Over the past 15 years I've used/enjoyed more OP phones than any other vendor, even rocking the OnePlus Open till recently. www.androidcentral.com/phones/onepl...
It's official: OnePlus exits the US and Europe — but there is a silver lining
OnePlus is pulling back globally and winding down OxygenOS, but OnePlus India and China are unaffected.

Hopefully the price holds before launching 🤞
The Verge@theverge.com · 3mo agoAsus will sell a standalone version of the OLED Ally, and after spending two hours with the handheld at the company’s California offices, @seanhollister.bsky.social thinks it might even give the new MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus a run for its money.
And we'll have a ton of motherboards, cases, and even a couple GPUs at a huge discount!
Steve Lin@stevelin.bsky.social · 3mo agoAre you in the Bay Area? Do you like old electronics? Come to the Electronics Flea Market tomorrow in Saratoga where we’ll be selling a bunch of stuff with proceeds going to Tech Exchange in honor of Gordon Mah Ung. Along with the Commodore PET I’m bringing a lot of other fun stuff. A sample:

I'm bad at self promotion. A couple weeks ago I joined @adampatrickmurray.bsky.social to talk about handheld gaming! I utter the words "Mega Duck" a lot. Please enjoy. youtu.be/75tyYD97cPU?...

Happy 25th birthday, Game Boy Advance! To celebrate, I am happy to announce the Game Boy Enhance is FINALLY here! The Game Boy Enhance (AGBM) is a circuit-level recreation of the Game Boy Advance. It uses almost all-new components, but still uses the original CPU - it's not emulation!
We're going to do a Q&A episode of Dual Boot Diaries next week while @adampatrickmurray.bsky.social is at Computex. If you have Linux desktop Qs, you can send them to me here and we might answer them in the episode :)
Always excited to chat with Sean!
Sean Hollister@seanhollister.bsky.social · 7mo agoSo excited to say... I'm the first-ever guest on Expedition: Handheld, a delightfully nerdy handheld gaming podcast from @adampatrickmurray.bsky.social and @retrogamecorps.com! What's that in my hand?? The episode's airing Saturday at 9AM PT / 12PM ET right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4ku...
An alt headline for this would be: "This is the worst year for desktop PCs, ever." Because it really is www.pcworld.com/article/3070...
The dire state of desktop PCs: 'If you want performance, you have to pay for it'
AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm all have rather anemic desktop processor roadmaps in place for 2026. Combine that with the horrific conditions for RAM and storage, and things do not look good.

It's dark days for journalism. Every bit of support counts, both when you're subscribing to websites like The Verge and supporting individual writers. Me, I just contributed five subscriptions' worth to support the colleagues that Vox laid off.

Will “Available for Contracts” Smith@willsmith.fun · 11mo agoThe Full Nerd today really went places. @adampatrickmurray.bsky.social’s Lundburgh Halloween costume is incredible.
Loving this new wave of TB5 eGPUs! Now we just need more devices to plug them into....

We couldn't wear Cologne, make up, or even hair product into the clean room so you get a glimpse into my natural hair 😅
Will “Available for Contracts” Smith@willsmith.fun · 12mo agoI was invited to tour the fab where Intel's making chips using its new 18A process. We weren't allowed to bring any electronics in or film, but I sat down with @adampatrickmurray.bsky.social and @markhachman.bsky.social to brain dump on everything we saw the moment we got back to the hotel.
Ever want to work inside a Biebian, HannaMontanaOS, or RebeccaBlackOS operating system? Well now you can!
Will “Available for Contracts” Smith@willsmith.fun · 12mo agoThis week has been busy, so here's a thread of stuff I want to share that I've been working on: First off, this week's episode of Dual Boot Diaries gets into some stupid cross Windows/Linux talking I've done to save disk space for Steam and also tiling window managers, which I think I love:
