Ocarina of Time: Nintendo Is Betting the Switch 2 on a 28-Year-Old Zelda Game
Nintendo finally pulled the curtain back yesterday, and the internet did exactly what you’d expect. Young Link stepped out of his house in Kokiri Forest, the Triforce shimmered on screen, and millions of us felt the same jolt we got in 1998. But here’s the thing: we’ve done this before. The 3DS version exists. I’ve still got my copy. So when the title card hit and the 2026 window appeared with…
Claude Fable 5 Is Anthropic's Strongest Public Model, But You're Not Getting the Real Thing
Anthropic didn’t just ship a new model yesterday. They shipped a warning dressed up as a product launch. Claude Fable 5 is now generally available, bringing the Mythos-class architecture to the public API and Claude.ai for the first time. It’s fast, it handles a million tokens of context, and it’s priced at roughly double the Opus rate. Yet after spending the last 24 hours watching the rollout in…
What Ending Live Support for Destiny 2 means for its Players and Live-service Games
Today, June 9, 2026, Bungie releases Monument of Triumph, the final major update for Destiny 2. After nearly a decade of seasonal storylines, rotating content, and evolving sandboxes, the studio is stepping away from active development. The servers aren’t shutting down, but the game is entering maintenance mode. For players, that distinction matters more than it might sound. A live-service game…
Apple Intelligence vs Siri AI: What's the Difference?
Apple keeps using two names for its artificial intelligence push, and the overlap is deliberately confusing. Apple Intelligence is the underlying engine, a full suite of generative models and privacy tools woven through iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Siri AI is the rebuilt assistant that runs on top of it. One is the brain distributed across your devices; the other is the voice you finally talk to…
No Internet After a Windows Update? Blame the Driver Swap, Not Your Router
Last month, Microsoft pushed KB5089549, and within hours the usual flood of complaints started. Not just slow downloads or failed installs, but the same specific failure that keeps happening across every recent Windows cycle. Machines connect to the router yet can’t reach the internet. Wi-Fi adapters vanish from Device Manager entirely. Ethernet ports suddenly report unidentified networks. I’ve…
What Is Ray Tracing in Gaming?
Ray tracing in gaming is a real-time rendering technique that simulates how light physically interacts with objects in a 3D scene, producing effects like accurate reflections, dynamic shadows, and global illumination that traditional methods cannot replicate. The standard industry term is real-time ray tracing, and it stands apart from offline ray tracing used in film production because it must…

iOS 27's Liquid Glass Slider Is Apple Admitting It Went Too Far
Apple doesn’t apologize for its design bets. It iterates them until they feel inevitable, or it quietly files them away and pretends the version from two years ago never happened. So when Craig Federighi stood on stage at WWDC 2026 and pitched iOS 27’s new system-wide transparency slider as an enhancement, the room knew exactly what was happening. Liquid Glass, the flagship aesthetic of iOS 26,…
Apple Rebuilt Siri on Gemini but the New AI Is Still a Beta
Yesterday at WWDC 2026, Apple finally pulled the curtain back on Siri AI. The demos looked smooth enough: a conversational assistant that reads your emails, recognizes what’s on your screen, and actually finishes multi-step tasks without forgetting what you asked three seconds ago. But watch the stock ticker from yesterday afternoon. Apple shed roughly 5% of its value, wiping out something like…
Meta Didn't Ask Permission. It Just Shipped Face Recognition to Millions of Phones.
Meta did not hold a press conference. There was no splashy blog post, no privacy dashboard update asking if you wanted your phone to carry face-scanning software for its smart glasses. The company simply shipped the code. Millions of people downloaded it, tucked inside an app update they never read. A WIRED investigation published June 4 revealed that Meta buried an unreleased feature called…
The $1.3 Trillion Chip Crash Was a Reckoning, Not a Reversal
June 5, 2026, will live in market infamy. If you checked your portfolio before lunch, you probably wished you had not. U.S. chipmakers shed roughly $1.3 trillion in market value in a single session, per Reuters and The Globe and Mail. The PHLX Semiconductor Index cratered 10.3%, its steepest drop since the pandemic panic of March 2020. Nvidia lost roughly $300 billion alone. Micron fell between…
Windows Update Is Still Breaking PCs in 2026, and Microsoft Expects You to Be Grateful for the Fix
There is a special kind of rage reserved for a Windows update that eats your evening. You click Install, walk away for twenty minutes, and come back to a frozen percentage bar and a vague message about something not going as planned. In June 2026, that message is the only honest thing about the May cumulative update, KB5089549, which managed to fail on perfectly healthy Windows 11 machines…
Xbox Games Showcase 2026: Every Major Announcement From Gears of War: E-Day to Persona 6
Microsoft has talked about a return to first-party relevance for the better part of three years. On June 7, the company stopped talking and started proving it. The Xbox Games Showcase 2026, immediately followed by the Gears of War: E-Day Direct, delivered a two-hour slate that felt less like a routine summer update and more like a platform flexing muscle it had kept sheathed. The decision to…
Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition Revives Translucent Green for 25th Anniversary
Microsoft unveiled the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition during its Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, 2026, marking a quarter century since the original console debuted in 2001. The hardware drops the matte black finish in favor of a translucent green shell that exposes the internal components, a direct nod to the original Xbox and the OG Green colorway that defined the brand’s earliest days. Xbox…
Xbox Game Pass Lands Persona 6 at Launch
Atlus has officially pulled back the curtain on Persona 6, confirming that the next mainline entry in the beloved RPG series will launch on Xbox Game Pass on day one. The reveal arrived during the Xbox Showcase livestream on June 7, though the announcement trailer kept things cryptic. Viewers caught only brief glimpses of what appeared to be a graveyard setting, with no gameplay footage or story…
State of Decay 3 Gameplay Revealed at Xbox Games Showcase With 2027 Release Window
Undead Labs finally showed State of Decay 3 in action today during the Xbox Games Showcase, ending years of vague development updates and a 2024 footage tease with concrete gameplay and a firm release target. Fans have waited since the 2020 announcement and a non-interactive 2024 teaser for proof the project was real. The trailer, debuted on stage during the June 7 broadcast and detailed in a…
Hayley Atwell Cast as Fable Villain Isabel at Xbox Games Showcase 2026
Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase on June 7 finally gave Playground Games’ Fable reboot the narrative spotlight it needed after years of sparse updates. The new story trailer did not just reveal swordplay and spell-weaving combat; it confirmed that Hayley Atwell will play the game’s central villain, Isabel. The casting choice immediately shifts the tone from a whimsical fairy-tale revival to a…
Gears of War: E-Day gameplay premieres at Xbox Showcase as Console Exclusive with October 6 launch
Microsoft opened the June 7 Xbox Games Showcase with its heaviest hitter first. The Coalition debuted the first extended gameplay for Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel that rebuilds the franchise around the catastrophic Emergence Day, and confirmed the title will launch October 6, 2026. The date gives Xbox a definitive first-party anchor for the holiday season after months of speculation. The…
