Xbox prices are increasing by up to €200 or £170
When Microsoft announced its latest round of Xbox price bumps in June, it only gave US pricing. Now we know the pricing increases for the EU and UK, and they're dramatic. Depending on the model, Xbox prices are increasing by up to 200 or 170. The 1TB Xbox Series X with a disc drive is going up by over 30 percent from 499.99 / 599.99 to 669.99 / 799.99.

The Victus cost just $800, or less when on sale, and was a good entry point to decent laptop gaming. The Omen 15 has nice little upgrades over the Victus. Its RTX 5050 Laptop GPU can play 2026's latest games, albeit on low-ish settings. But it's also got a brighter 16:10 aspect ratio display with higher refresh rate, and a 1080p webcam to make it a little better for non-gaming stuff. I'd call it a working-class gaming laptop, but thanks to RAMageddon, the Omen 15 starts at $1,200 - a far cry from the $800 that made its … Read the full story at The Verge.

Is paying artists enough to convince them to embrace AI?
Illustrators have spent years sounding the alarm about generative artificial intelligence startups training their models on artists' work without permission.

This has led to contentious legal battles, but it's also given rise to a new wave of AI startups like Pippa that market their services as being more ethical than the competition. Like most companies selling access to text-to-video models, Pippa's main product is short bursts of user-generated footage that can be cobbled toget … Read the full story at The Verge.

Royole, a now-bankrupt manufacturer of flexible displays, was the first to release a commercial folding phone, the "charmingly awful" FlexPai. Samsung's first Galaxy Fold followed a year later, plagued by a variety of faults that saw review units break within days.
