I started chair dancing when Nvidia told me about its GeForce Now cloud-gaming app for the Steam Deck. My Deck OLED is my most frequently used nonessential device, so I was stoked that GFN provided a way to play Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games on it. And it was great, even on my pretty uneven Wi-Fi connection, until it started tossing me into queues with up to 40 people ahead of me. And that was on Ultimate, the priciest tier with the shortest wait times and longest sessions.

This year's Google I/O developer's conference was packed with AI. Google showed off the latest updates to its Gemini AI platform and debuted its pricey new AI Ultra subscription plan (spoiler: it's $250 per month). Google also introduced its new Flow app that expands its video-generation toolset, and capped off the presentation with a demo of its new Android XR glasses. The company was also proud to announce that AI usage and performance numbers are up.

As you'd expect, this year's Google I/O developer's conference focused almost exclusively on AI -- where the company's Gemini AI platform stands, where it's going and how much it's going to cost you now for its new AI Ultra subscription plan (spoiler: $250 per month).

One game controller to rule them all? Not yet, but the Backbone Pro sets out on that path and covers a fair bit of ground -- for a nontrivial $170 price tag (thank you tariffs) plus an optional subscription at $40 a year to bring the necessary features into play. I tested the iPhone version of the app; Android is forthcoming.

I'm curious about the scalability of the M1/Apple silicon architecture.

Both the Pro and Air are still limited to 16GB RAM. I wonder if that's a chip limitation.

They're not providing any useful specs for these performance claims and comparisons, which really peeves me. But I should be used to marketing blather by now.
