Got to play with the @Xiaomi 18 Pro here at #SnapdragonSummit featuring @OutOnALumb. Loving the utility of this second screen and dual 200MP camera architecture. #Paidtravel_Snapdragon

A perfect visualization of the enshittification of Google search. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

So yeah, Google shoving more AI into Search expanding data-scraped results will probably kill more traffic to media. But the new feature Ask YouTube's timestamped links to YouTube videos + agentic coding will likely eat up YT creator revenue, too! cnet.com/tech/services-and-s…

I’ve returned to share something I worked on for nearly four months - looking at the renaissance of turn-based games, if it came out of nowhere, and what’s next: talking to key devs behind Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Persona, Metaphor, and Sea of Stars gameinformer.com/feature/202…

With the release of iOS 26.5, end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging will start rolling out in beta for iPhone owners and people on Android phones with the latest version of Google Messages. #ios265 #iMessage #RCS #encryption #Apple #Android #Google cnet.com/tech/mobile/ios-26-…

We're withholding our bylines on AI-assisted stories until further notice. AI can be a powerful tool to support good journalism — but it must have guardrails. Tell @mcclatchy you want real humans reporting the news, not AI slop.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

Gamers aren’t alone in rejecting gen AI — game developers oppose using it to generate things like art assets, but other uses, from admin to code assistance, have cautious support. My report on AI in the games industry from GDC 2026: cnet.com/tech/gaming/generat…

Here with the mighty @CNET team for day one of #MWC26, my first time at the show, reporting on phones, wearables, and maybe a wee bit of AI

Hate to see more good writers and editors lost at Eurogamer. Solidarity with them and frustration at yet more layoffs at ZD.

On Jan. 14, our parent company Ziff Davis laid off 5 of our members, days after our successful CES showing as the CNET Group. This is the third round of layoffs since Ziff acquired CNET in 2024. We’re sick of our members being on the chopping block. Read our statement below:

Clicks CMO, Jeff Gadway, told me, “We're really trying to help have people see us as a company that's building purpose-built tech for people who want to do shit and not doom scroll.” These are my kind of people! #ces #clickscommunicator @CNET piped.video/JsH0fv035Zw?si=aLq8…

To kick off 2026, I lay out how generative AI has changed the gaming landscape -- and ensured that gamers can't trust that the games they're playing are completely made by humans. cnet.com/tech/gaming/in-2025…

So wildly sad. Big in the industry, but had a big heart, too. Met him at a SW: Jedi Survivor event and he cheerfully let me ramble on. Such a loss.

Watched the trailer, sat up, watched it again. Looks rad as hell

Preparing my reactions for the Game Awards tomorrow

Well look at that! @Parkyprakhar got to try the Galaxy Z TriFold at the Samsung Store in Dubai for @CNET and even compare it to the Huawei Mate XT #samsunggalaxyztrifold #GalaxyZTriFold cnet.com/tech/mobile/i-tried…

Newspapers are closing at an emergency-level rate—over the past 20 years, America has lost more than 3,000. For the past six years, the photographer Ann Hermes has been documenting the lives lived in these dying places across the country. See more images: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/05…
