A stylish shooter, occult Solitaire and other new indie games worth checking out

Elon Musk's AI startup xAI admitted that its chatbot, Grok, echoed antisemitic and extremist views from X (formerly Twitter) users in some of its responses. The company acknowledged the issue after users flagged problematic outputs, blaming the AI's behavior on training data influenced by toxic content on the platform.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another "AI gone wrong" story—it’s a stark reminder of how easily algorithms can amplify the worst of human behavior, especially when trained on unfiltered social media data. Given Musk’s influence and X’s struggles with moderation, the incident raises bigger questions about who’s responsible when AI parrots harmful rhetoric. It’s a wake-up call for the industry, regulators, and users alike.

The next big leap in memory tech is on the horizon—LPDDR6 is officially in the works, with JEDEC (the industry group that sets memory standards) releasing its first specs. The focus? Making phones, laptops, and AI gadgets faster while sipping less battery. But don’t expect it in your desktop PC anytime soon; 2026 is the earliest we’ll see it, and even then, it’ll likely hit mobile first.

Editor’s Note: If you’re glued to your phone or rely on a laptop for work, this is good news—future devices will handle heavy tasks (think AI apps, 4K editing) more smoothly without draining battery life. But desktop users might feel left out for now, as the tech is prioritizing portability over raw power. It’s another sign of how AI and mobility are driving hardware advances, leaving traditional PCs playing catch-up.

Even though Amazon's Prime Day has officially ended, some killer laptop deals are still hanging around—and the team has handpicked the best ones they've actually tested and vouch for. If you missed the main event, you’ve got a second shot at snagging a great machine at a steal.

Amazon Prime Day might be over, but there's still a sweet deal lingering for anyone who missed out—the Chefman Everything Maker, a handy kitchen gadget that whips up everything from pancakes to pizza, is still 25% off at just $45.

Editor’s Note: If you've been eyeing a versatile kitchen appliance but didn’t pull the trigger during Prime Day, this is a solid second chance. It’s a small win for budget-conscious home cooks who want to simplify meal prep without breaking the bank. Plus, who doesn’t love a post-Prime Day surprise?

If you missed Amazon's Prime Day or just want to keep the bargain hunt going, other big retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are still running major sales. This piece highlights the best ongoing deals from Amazon's competitors—so your wallet can recover while you still snag discounts.

Editor’s Note: Prime Day might steal the spotlight, but it’s not the only game in town. These rival sales mean more options (and often better prices) for shoppers who aren’t tied to Amazon—or who just love a good deal. It’s a reminder that competition keeps the discounts flowing.
