PlayStation 5 rereview: A smaller console with a bigger game library
With over 60 million PS5s sold, Sony is so far dominating this generation of game consoles. Four years since the PlayStation 5 debuted, the company has rounded out its gaming lineup with the refined PS5 Slim (both with and without a disc drive) and the more powerful (and expensive) PS5 Pro. At possibly the console's midlife, up against the Xbox Series S and X, ever-increasingly powerful gaming PCs, and Nintendo's Switch, it's a good time to reassess what the PS5, in pole position, is doing to hold gamers' attention spans and why the PS5 Slim is probably the right way to dive into Sony's rich gaming selection. Sony's PS5 redesign is a smaller console with slightly more storage and the same incredible selection of hit games. The PS5 Slim looks very similar to the original design but it's noticeably (thankfully!) smaller.
The Morning After: Humane's Ai Pin wearable costs $699 and ships in early 2024
Wearable startup Humane has officially unveiled its first device, the Ai Pin. For months, the company has drip fed information, only offering a glimpse of the device, wielded by Naomi Campbell, of all people, at Paris Fashion Week in October. The Ai Pin is a pocket-worn wearable AI assistant that can reportedly perform the tasks our current phones and voice assistants do, but without a screen, instead operating primarily through voice commands and, occasionally, a virtual screen projected onto the user's hand. It works independently of other devices, connected to its own phone network through T-Mobile, but on Humane's own MVNO because that's even more complicated. The device will cost $700, and another $24 per month for unlimited talk, text and data, and will ship in early 2024.
