Before you buy a Steam Machine, you need to know about its RAM issue

PCWorld

PCWorld reports that Valve's Steam Machine ships with a single 16GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM, leaving one memory slot empty and causing a 10% performance loss compared to dual-channel configurations. Users can upgrade to 32GB by adding another 16GB SODIMM for around $200, but the process requires complex disassembly as demonstrated in teardowns. The Steam Machine's high price combined with its single-stick RAM limitation makes it a questionable value proposition for gamers seeking optimal performance. Valve will sell you a Steam Machine starting today, at least if you signed up earlier this week and you have a little bit of luck. Early supplies are expected to be extremely limited, as Valve is dealing with the same hardware issues as the entire industry. It comes with just 16GB of RAM, which is a little light for a gaming desktop. But there's something you should know about it that isn't on the spec list. The Steam Machine is using semi-standard parts, at least for RAM and storage, including familiar SODIMM sticks that go into laptops.


6 Prime Day home office deals I'd actually spend money on

PCWorld

PCWorld highlights six Prime Day home office deals worth buying, including the Acer Aspire 14-inch laptop for $589 and LG 27US500 4K monitor for $170. Featured deals include the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station at 35% off and EMeet S600 webcam at its lowest price with 4K resolution. The article warns against the Seagate 8TB external drive deal, recommending cloud storage instead while promoting practical office upgrades over flashy features. Amazon's Prime Day offers a terrific opportunity to overhaul your home office with affordable laptops, displays, and peripherals, all at substantial discounts -- and no, that's not hype! Understandably, things have felt somewhat bleak. Tariffs have pushed prices higher, and shortages of memory and storage have elevated the price of PCs and laptops.


LoRASuite: Efficient LoRA Adaptation Across Large Language Model Upgrades

Neural Information Processing Systems

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are frequently updated, LoRA weights trained on earlier versions quickly become obsolete. The conventional practice of retraining LoRA weights from scratch on the latest model is costly, time-consuming, and environmentally detrimental, particularly as the diversity of LLMs and downstream tasks expands. This motivates a critical question: "How can we efficiently leverage existing LoRA weights to adapt to newer model versions?" To address this, we propose LoRASuite, a modular approach tailored specifically to various types of LLM updates. First, we compute a transfer matrix utilizing known parameters from both old and new LLMs.

Cameras, Sensors, and 3D Body Scans: All the Tech Helping Eliminate Blown Calls

WIRED

Soccer officials already rely on cameras to see who's offside and who sent the ball out of bounds. But during this World Cup, refs will use digital twins of each player to view plays from every angle. At the 2026 World Cup, the refs on the field and the officials on the sidelines will be able to use an abundance of tech to help call penalties, spot offside violations, and make other consequential decisions. The video assistant referee system, known as VAR, and the semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) have been used in soccer for years. But the setup at this summer's World Cup represents some of the most advanced uses of adjudication tech to date--not just in soccer, but across all high-level sports.


The Top New Features in Apple's iOS 27 and iPadOS 27

WIRED

Apple took the wraps off iOS 27 at its WWDC event, and the iPhone update is chock-full of smart upgrades, with a big focus on improvements to Siri. While the news coming out of WWDC 2026 is not as dramatic as last year's iOS 26 update, where the new Liquid Glass redesign caused a big stir, Apple's presentation still made waves. During the WWDC keynote, Apple walked through the changes coming to the next version of its mobile operating systems, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. These updates will roll out to iPhones and iPads later this year, likely in September. There are several smaller quality-of-life improvements, but the big highlight is the Siri AI upgrade .
