Whoopsie... I never shared my Framework Laptop 13 Pro review from earlier this week. In case you missed it, and want to cry in RAMageddon with me, here's a gift link. www.theverge.com/tech/971160/...

This is oh-so close to my perfect MacBook Pro alternative — then RAMageddon struck

The modular laptop meets Pro quality — and RAMageddon pricing.

⌨️Razer keyboards are loaded with niche competitive gaming features, but I don't understand why its designs are stuck in like 2013. Here's my hands-on with the new Huntsman V3 HE boards, which at least bring prices down on some high-end features for a change. 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/973027/...

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

I reviewed Microsoft’s new entry-level Surface Laptop 13-inch, which now comes with just 8GB of RAM for $950. It’s the same great build and battery life as last year, but thanks for RAMageddon it costs more for less. It feels like a shell of its former self. 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/966937/...

Even Microsoft couldn’t make Windows 11 work well on 8GB of RAM

RAMageddon claims another.

I wish I was handy so I could easily do a fun DIY home project using these $2.25 bricks from the old Lincoln Tunnel retaining wall. A planter or a little backyard walkway from The Tunnel? It speaks to my bridge-and-tunnel-bitch heart. www.orbitexchange.co/materials?se...

Yesterday I got a very unexpected fist bump from a worker at my local grocery store as he was passing me by. I was so confused at first but I realized in the moment he was looking at my @voxmediaunion.bsky.social shirt and giving me an approving head nod. Unions, man. They’re the best. ✊🏻🥲🌺

It’s the rare occasion that i’m jealous of you west coasters. You can comfortably enjoy the amazing SGDQ four-player Elden Ring all-bosses run that’s going on, without risk of going to bed at 2am on a work night.

I still love this silly trend. www.theverge.com/gadgets/9627...

I finally spotted someone filming a concert on their 3DS.

The trend isn’t new, but the only thing cooler than catching Nemophila’s performance last week at The Meadows in Brooklyn was seeing and capturing a shot of this person recording on their Nintendo 3DS...

Imagine having Lukaku as your 67th minute sub

If this score holds… USA: 1 Belgium: Knicks game 3

The Evoworks Evo75 and Dry Studio ATM 98 are two of the nicest mechanical keyboards I've tested. They're also uniquely different, with one sounding super "thocky" and the other silent. Check out my review, along with lots of pictures and some sound samples, here: www.theverge.com/tech/942472/...

These mechanical keyboards are two very different sides of the same beautifully made coin

Some thoughts on this morning’s RTX Spark laptop announcement from Nvidia’s keynote Computex presentation. Part of me is excited, but more of me is nervous because I’m bracing for the sticker shock. www.theverge.com/tech/941215/...
