    That awesome Asus monitor isn’t *quite* as awesome as it seemed.

    In over 15 years of tech journalism, I’ve never issued a correction quite like this! Asus and LG Display originally said HD 720p, then corrected to 1080p when we explicitly did a fact check, then corrected again to 720p.

    But it does 1440p at 540Hz, too, and that seems more than good enough for me!

    ‘You carry a battery bank anyway, might as well have it double as a camera grip for your phone.’

    Sharge, purveyor of translucent USB-C charging gear, is now selling the $40 Grip, a Bluetooth shutter and zoom for your phone built into a 20W, 18Wh battery. Andrew and I are a little skeptical of the clamp, but it’s tough to argue with the marketing!

    I’ve never seen a GPU quite like this.

    This four-fan GPU is the “ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 5090 — ASUS Graphics Cards 30th Anniversary Edition.” Reminds me a bit of the motorcycle from Akira with its red design and wheel. Asus says it’s inspired by the 2008 ROG Matrix 9800 GT. You can’t buy this one; you have to win it.

    Nvidia’s GeForce Now will natively stream 5K and 4K to LG OLED monitors and TVs.

    Nvidia didn’t provide specific model names, but it’ll be a native app for monitors and TV with 5K120 and 4K120 HDR streaming. “No Android TV devices, no Chromecast, nothing, run it directly on the television,” says Nvidia product marketing director Andrew Fear.

    The Steam Deck OLED is getting 90fps GeForce Now streaming in September.

    I thought it breathed new life into the Steam Deck even in my 60Hz tests — but next month, Nvidia’s adding its promised new mode that matches the Steam Deck OLED’s 90Hz refresh rate, too. Also, you’ll be able to stream some games with the power of an RTX 5080.

    Today I’m toying with a drone that makes flying easy and filming even easier.

    There’s lots we don’t know about Antigravity, the first drone from Insta360. But after my first flights, I think it could change what we expect out of drones. Want a look at some (prototype! compressed!) 360-degree footage on YouTube? I uploaded this interactive sample! Set resolution to 4K first.
