GTA VI will be available on Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox One consoles
Rockstar Games is making Grand Theft Auto VI available on Xbox Cloud Gaming when it launches next week. While you'd normally assume that would mean Grand Theft Auto VI would be available to stream on PCs, the web, Xbox consoles, and even TVs, it appears to be restricted to just Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One consoles.
That does mean that anyone with an older Xbox One console can stream Grand Theft Auto VI instead of having to upgrade to a PS5 or Xbox Series S / X console to play. Rockstar notes that Xbox Cloud Gaming will use the Xbox Series S graphics settings to stream to Xbox consoles. It also means that Microsoft effectively has an excl …
Anthropic targets $1.4 trillion IPO
Anthropic confirmed on Tuesday that its IPO could be one of the biggest ever, even while falling short of previous expectations. Its IPO price is expected to be between $70.00 and $78.00 per share, which would put its valuation as high as $1.4 trillion, according to the New York Times. The Wall Street Journal reports that according to its sources, Anthropic is "aiming for its shares to start trading Thursday or Friday next week."
As Reuters notes, the Anthropic IPO was previously expected to be valued at as much as $2 trillion. As of last week, Anthropic's rival OpenAI was valued at $1.25 trillion.
The initial public offering price is exp …
Aura’s next color E Ink photo frame is smaller, cheaper, sharper, and more colorful
Aura just launched a smaller version of its color E Ink frame with a handful of improvements and a more affordable price. The new Aura Ink frame features a 10-inch E Ink panel that can display more colors at a higher pixel density. It's also differentiated from the original 13-inch model with a black frame and matching mat board that helps photos stand out.
The Aura Ink 10 is now available in the US for $349, $150 cheaper than the 13-inch version, which still costs $499. The original Ink's price made it a tough sell over Aura's other frames that are available with an LCD screen as large as 15 inches for $299. The new 10-inch option makes co …
Peak Design’s Roller Lite Carry-On is bigger on the inside — and cheaper, too
When we sampled Peak Design's Roller Pro last year, we loved almost everything about the camera gear powerhouse's first attempt at a proper suitcase. Everything, that is, except for the price. Back then, during its crowdfunded launch, the Pro could be had for as little as $425. Today, you're looking at $599.95 for the same roller bag.
Peak Design has taken that feedback to heart in creating the Roller Lite Carry-On, part of a new series of suitcases that bring many of the Pro's features and design concepts into a hard-sided clamshell design that's more traditional and, crucially, more affordable, starting with the $449.95 Lite Carry-On.
It …

Amazon turned its Alexa robot into a Ring security patrol bot
As part of a new brand called Ring Robotics - designed to take a more proactive approach to security instead of just monitoring - a new rolling mobile security camera was announced by Amazon, called the Ring Rover Cam. It borrows a lot of the design and functionality from the Astro home robot that Amazon first debuted in 2021. The Rover Cam is targeted at businesses in need of an affordable security solution that can patrol and investigate concerns in large facilities, and it comes with a few upgrades.
As with Astro, the Rover Cam rolls around on a pair of large wheels that help it navigate small obstacles or uneven terrain. It can be manua …
Hands-on with Ring’s new AI drone camera for your home
Ring is finally shipping a flying indoor drone camera. For real this time. The Ring Drone Cam will arrive on January 27th, 2027, for $249.99, Ring founder Jamie Siminoff said at a launch event in New York City this week. If it does actually ship, it will arrive almost six years after the company announced its first flying camera, the Ring Always Home Cam.
Designed to patrol inside your home when you're not there, the Drone Cam is an AI-powered drone that can react to triggers from Ring sensors, such as detecting motion, a door opening, a water leak, or an alarm sounding. When triggered, it flies along preprogrammed routes to a set location, …
Seagate’s FireCuda Forge moves your data between a hard drive and SSD for better performance
Seagate announced a new external storage solution, called the FireCuda Forge, that combines the speed benefits of an SSD with the affordability of a higher-capacity hard drive. The Forge is the first drive that's powered by the company's new Alkemi intelligent storage platform, which learns how your data is used and relocates the files you're currently using, or use most frequently, to the faster SSD.
The FireCuda Forge is now available through Seagate's online store with an 8TB hard drive for $699, or a 20TB hard drive for $899, that are both user-replaceable. However, the NVMe SSD is not included, and in the middle of a memory shortage, t …
Real Motors’ Project Ares is a cyberpunk fantasy made real
Electrification has done wonderful things for motorcycle design. By getting rid of the engine and the fuel tank that supports it, designers have the freedom to do whatever they want, and the results have been occasionally brilliant. I'm a big fan of the vaguely retrofuturistic stylings of the Maeving RM2 and the quirky minimalism of BMW's CE 02, but nothing yet has quite left me so awestruck as Project Ares.
This all-electric machine is the first offering from South Carolina-based Real Motors, and it bears a shape that would not look out of place on the streets of Night City, the main setting in Cyberpunk 2077. There's a little bit of Star …
