MacworldAt a glanceExpert's RatingProsSupports Thunderbolt 5Impressive performance for creative usersRugged design with IP68 ratingFive-year warrantyConsExpensiveRequires Mac with M4 Pro or MaxYou might need to buy a spare TB5 cableOur Verdict Its expensive, and youll need a new Mac with an M4 Pro or Max processor to get the full benefits of Thunderbolt 5, but the Rugged SSD Pro5 is the fastest back-up drive weve ever seen. Its rugged design is ideal for outdoor work, and makes it an ideal back-up solution for demanding creative users.Price When ReviewedThis value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefinedBest Pricing TodayThunderbolt 5 was launched back in 2023 and was rather overlooked, as it was launched on the same day as the iPhone 15 but its taken quite a while for the technology to arrive in mainstream products such as LaCies new Rugged SSD Pro5. Even Apple has taken its time here too, only introducing Thunderbolt 5 on the new M4 MacBook Pro and Mac mini that were launched at the end of 2024 and even then, only on the models with the high-end M4 Pro and Max chips.However, LaCies range of Rugged solid-state drives have supported Thunderbolt technology for many years, and their sturdy designs have made them popular with many Mac users and creative professionals. At first glance the Pro5 looks almost identical to the previous-generation Rugged SSD Pro, which uses Thunderbolt 3 and has been sitting on our list of Best External SSD drives for the last three years. The names are almost identical too, so make sure you look for the Pro5 model if you want the latest Thunderbolt 5 performance for your new Mac. LaCieThe drive is available with either 2TB or 4TB capacities, so youve got plenty of room for large video and graphics files, and while its not exactly cheap, the Pro5 is still competitively priced for a high-performance drive aimed at pro users. Its also worth mentioning that LaCie is now owned by Seagate, so youll be directed to seagate.com for information about LaCie products.In fact, the only visible difference between the two drives is the fact that the Pro5 is wrapped in a dark-blue rubber sleeve, rather than the somber black of its predecessor. That rubber sleeve is designed to provide extra protection for the drive, and the Pro5 is even sturdier than before, with an IP68 rating for water and dust-resistance. This means that the drive is completely sealed to prevent dust and other small particles from getting inside the unit, and LaCie claims that it can survive complete immersion in water up to a depth of 1.5 meters for a full 30 minutes. LaCie also states that the drive can survive being dropped from a height of up to 3m (10ft) and can even cope with being run over by vehicles weighing up to two tonnes. And, to back up those claims, LaCie provides a five-year warranty for the drive, and offers a one-time use of its Data Recovery Service to try and rescue your data in the event that the drive does become damaged.That rugged design makes the Pro5 a great option for creative users who need to work outdoors for photoshoots or filming. Its also highly portable, measuring just 17mm thick, 98mm wide and 65mm deep. The tough design means that its a little heavier than many of its portable rivals, weighing 150g compared to 100g for the older Rugged Pro with Thunderbolt 3 but you can still pick it up and slip it into your pocket with no trouble at all. LaCie includes a high-performance Thunderbolt 5 cable with the Pro5 drive, but we did notice that the standard USB-C cable we normally use for our Time Machine back-up drive didnt provide enough power for the Pro5, so it might be worth investing in a spare Thunderbolt 5 cable in case of emergencies.LaCieAnd, of course, its the support for Thunderbolt 5 that will attract Mac users, and especially creative users who need a high-speed drive for working with large graphics and video files. LaCie is clearly targeting creative users with the Pro5, boasting that its the fastest scratch disk for creative professionals, and offers far greater performance than previous generations of Thunderbolt drives. The Pro5 does use a standard USB-C connector, which means that its still backward-compatible with older Macs that have Thunderbolt 3 or 4, but if you want to get the full performance of the Thunderbolt 5 interface then youll need to use one of the recently launched MacBook Pro and Mac Mini models that have an M4 Pro or Max processor (and the previous Rugged SSD Pro with Thunderbolt 3 remains on sale for owners of older Macs).LaCieWhen used with a Thunderbolt 5 Mac, LaCie quotes read and write speeds of 6,700MB/s and 5,300MB/s respectively. Admittedly, the Pro5 didnt quite hit those peaks when running the BlackMagic Disk Speed Test, but did still record impressive results of around 5,250MB/s for both read and write performance when used with a new Mac mini with M4 Pro. Its also more than twice as fast as the older Rugged SSD Pro with Thunderbolt 3, which scored read and write speeds of 2,480MB/s and 1,780MB/s respectively. Should you buy the LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5That performance makes the Rugged SSD Pro5 clearly the fastest Thunderbolt drive weve tested so far, and along with its rugged, portable design makes it an excellent option for creative users who want to exploit the full speed of their new Thunderbolt 5 Macs.

Moon Studios creative director Thomas Mahler believes that PlayStation might eventually take Xboxs lead in leaving behind console exclusivity for its titles. In a post on social media platform X, Mahler spoke about how he believes that Xbox boss Phil Spencers idea of releasing games on to more platforms.I know some people always want me to join the console warning, but I strongly believe that [Spencer] has the right approach, posted Mahler. We decided a few years back not to make [No Rest for the Wicked] under Microsoft because back then we couldnt have shipped it for PlayStation and Switch and since we knew how important multiplayer and cross play would be, we decided to partner with Take2 instead.In the post, Mahler goes on to talk about his conversations with Spencer about the nature of console exclusivity, and how the concept would have been crazy if it were applied to, for example, movie DVDs.In my emails to Phil over the years, I always brought up how crazy it wouldve been if you couldve only watched certain DVDs on Sony players, while for others you wouldve needed a Samsung player, etc I think we can all agree that this wouldve been nutty for films, so why are games any different?Mahler then pointed out how, at this point, the core architecture on both Xbox console and PlayStation consoles are so close together that developing games for multiplatform releases isnt that big of a deal anymore. It also helps that the design of controllers has converged into similar designs on all platforms as well.Consoles have been stuck attracting the same 100-150m players for over two decades now, he continued. If we want to see the industry grow, it needs to be easier for everyone to access the content.Mahler caps off the post by talking about Sony potentially going for multiplatform releases as well, saying that people should be able to buy whatever hardware they want without losing access to games. He also pointed out how Nintendo will likely continue to do its own thing, focusing on first-party development for its own hardware.Id be surprised if Sony wont end up with the same strategy, he wrote. People should buy the device they like the most, but they should then have access to all the content. And yes, Nintendo will keep doing their own thing because Nintendo is Nintendo and thats okay.Moon Studios is currently working on its action RPG No Rest for the Wicked, which is available on PC as an Early Access title. Since its release, the game has gotten a host of updates with new content as well as fixes for various bugs. It features an isometric perspective, allowing players to partake in its tactical combat with a better look at the battlefield.One of the biggest updates No Rest For the Wicked got was back in July 2024, which brought with it the content surrounding the post-game dungeon Cerim Crucible. Check out our coverage of the update.For more details, check out our review of its Early Access launch.I know some people always want me to join the console warring, but I strongly believe that @XboxP3 has the right approach.We decided a few years back not to make @wickedgame under Microsoft because back then we couldnt have shipped it for PlayStation and Switch and since we https://t.co/A0913IXMkx thomasmahler (@thomasmahler) January 25, 2025

Developer S-Game has revealed through interviews with Chinese publications that upcoming action RPG Phantom Blade Zero will take players around 20 to 30 hours to finish its main story. It will also feature quite a bit of side content, which the studio has clocked at around 20 more hours worth of play time, according to Mp1st.While not too long when compared to other open-world RPGs, Phantom Blade Zeros gameplay length does line-up with more action oriented titles. Since the game is also going to take influences from FromSoftwares titles in how its levels are designed, players will also get to spend plenty of time looking for secrets and shortcuts.Along with this, the studio has also revealed that the game will feature four difficulty levels. Players can take on the challenges of Phantom Blade Zero in either Easy, Normal, Hard, and Extremely Hard difficulties. It will also feature checkpoints for boss fights, allowing players who might have died close to the bosss death to retry from a mid-point of the fight, rather than having to do the whole thing again from scratch.The last time we saw Phantom Blade Zero was with a trailer earlier this month. The trailer, titled Year of the Snake, showcased uncut footage of a boss fight, with the player taking on the Chief Disciple of the Seven Stars.Despite the games emphasis on offering players challenging encounters, however, S-Game has been adamant about Phantom Blade Zero not being a Souls-like title. Back in June, the studio revealed through an FAQ that it did not want to make another Soulslike. Rather, the studio has compared Phantom Blade Zero to more action-oriented titles like Devil May Cry, mentioning that its combat will be more combo-oriented.We did take inspiration from Soulslike games, such as multi-layered maps, multiple approach paths, and hidden nooks and crevices, but the similarities stop there, said the developer. There will be difficulty options, and you wont have to face respawned mobs after you die or interact with checkpoints.It still takes inspirations from Souls titles, however, with S-Game revealing that there will be plenty of hidden paths, nooks and crevices for players to discover.Unfortunately, Phantom Blade Zero doesnt yet have a release date. Reports from last year have indicated, however, that the studio might be targeting a Fall 2026 release window. The game is currently in development for PC and PS5.

The DesignTO festival, which is taking place from now until February 2, 2025, features over 100 free events, installations, tours, talks and exhibitions by more than 300 designers and artists.DesignTO supports a vision of design that is more than aesthetics, but that rather aims to be a tool for problem-solving, solution-building, organized change, experimenting, innovating and evolving toward a better future. This years festival will put a spotlight on how design impacts joy, justice, and sustainability.Here are a few must-see programs at this years festival.Amazon Sucks. Image credit: DesignTOAmazon SucksThis project highlights how discounted prices and convenience come at a great cost, and that the public must no longer turn a blind eye to these consequences.Take Amazon as an example. It is notorious for its deplorable working conditions and unfair wages for its warehouse employees, ongoing lawsuits, tax evasion, and the cumulative effect that their shipping model has on our environment is catastrophic, reads DesignTOs website. Yet, it has soared into a new level of market dominance since the onset of the global pandemic. Amazon now has a market cap over $1.9 trillion. Its CEO Jeff Bezos, one of the wealthiest humans on the planet, has a net worth over $204 billion. This level of wealth hoarding is dangerous and unsustainable.BIPOC Portfolio Collaboration 2025. Image credit: DesignTOBIPOC Portfolio Collaboration 2025Join Gensler, along with leading Canadian architects and designers, for a collaborative review of resumes and portfolios to assist BIPOC Students in the design industry with the next steps in their careers. In the 4th annual BIPOC Portfolio Collaboration, students access a half-hour review session with two professionals within the fields of Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Architectural Technology, and Experiential Design (Signage & Wayfinding and Environmental Graphic Design).City Blocks. Image credit: DesignTOCity BlocksCity Blocks is a project that builds on the tradition of patchwork and quilting and presents a vocabulary that is informed by the built environment around us. The installation is made up of two textile panels featuring quilt blocks made of scrap and recycled fabric. The shapes and forms of the quilt blocks relate to real places, as they are distilled from familiar elements we encounter every day, reflecting this place and the changing landscapes of this city.Deconstructing TOD: Transit Roots DesignTO. Image credit: DesignTODeconstructing TOD: Transit RootsSvNs Deconstructing TOD: Transit Roots exhibition aims to showcase how transit can be delivered in a way that supports healthy, thriving communities. Transit is a powerful force for shaping cities, spurring the creation of new housing, public spaces, jobs, and space for local businesses. These projects also have their challenges, displacing property owners or tenants, and can be costly to construct.Using a combination of 3D models, exhibits, and digital representations, and interactive components, the exhibition showcases an approach for delivering positive social change through major transit projects and how communities, designers, landowners, developers, decision-makers, and governments maximize these projects positive benefits. It focuses on five core principles.Delirious Facade. Image credit: DesignTODelirious FacadeDelirious Facade is a design project that uses image processing artificial intelligence (AI) as a generator for architectural form and ornament. The project takes existing Toronto facades and uses their visual signatures or patterns as the material for the generation of hybrid facades. The primary objective of the investigation that led to this project was to gain insights into the transformative impact of recent AI advancements on architectural design and the implications for production.CommunityStreets: A Youth Lens on the Future of Urban Housing. Image credit: DesignTOCommunityStreets: A Youth Lens on the Future of Urban HousingCommunityStreets is a panel discussion/open forum on the critical topic of housing and youth. This panel brings together civic leaders, community activists, and design and economic thinkers at OCAD University to explore a youth lens on affordability, access, equity and the future of housing in urban Toronto.Homes That Care. Image credit: DesignTOHomes That CareNEUF architect(e)s displays an architectural installation showcasing typical residential spaces in Toronto within their storefront window that directly faces St. Lawrence Market. This display showcases design interventions that Torontonians can do to improve their homes for multi-generational use.Under Construction: Cozy Edition. Image credit: DesignTOUnder Construction: Cozy EditionThe work originates from photographs documenting the construction of a 48-story condominium in midtown Toronto, captured from the window of the artists first residence in Canada. Positioned directly opposite the site, I witnessed a process often dismissed as emblematic of overdevelopment and dehumanization. Yet, I was drawn to the choreography of labor, the rapid stacking of floors, and the architectural grandeur. Embracing a vernacular glance (Brian ODoherty) over the decisive moment, I captured fleeting, uncomposed views that revealed details relegated to the peripherytangled wires, leaning beams, and plastic wraps, reads DesignTOs website.Berczy Park. Photo by Industryous Photography, courtesy of CCxA.The Legacy of Claude Cormier: Screening & Panel DiscussionA special screening of a 45-minute directors cut of the The Cultural Landscape Foundations (TCLF)Claude Cormier Oral History Project, which highlights Cormiers Toronto projects, will be taking place on January 30. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion reflecting on his legacy and how the community can carry it forward when shaping future public spaces.DesignTO Talks: Net Positive.

How to turn your Threads, Bluesky, or X thread into a Medium storyExpand your sentence-long story into the Medium versionPublished inThe Medium Blog6 min readJust now--Image created by Jason CombsMany ideas cant be conveyed in 140 (or 280) characters. So much so that almost all short-form social media platforms now offer a thread feature a way to link a bunch of your single posts into one cohesive chain.While this is great and useful, it has some downsides. For example, one link in the thread chain can be shared out of context, leading to misunderstanding. Comments to the whole idea sometimes get lost as replies to individual parts of the thread, or vice versa. Plus, theres no single canonical link, making it hard to point to as a whole, fully-fledged idea in the future.From an editorial perspective, when you try to cram long-form ideas into short-form media, things get lost in translation. Not many people write threads first as a Google doc, which they then turn into a thread. Normally people just post on Twitter as they have the idea. Thats convenient and quick. But its harder to edit, sometimes you have to circle back to older points as you think of new supporting ideas for them, and you miss things.Thats why you might want to consider the Medium form for your idea.Whats the Medium version of your thread?What makes for a good thread-turned-Medium-story? It should be on a topic in which you have some kind of expertise. This can be academic or professional expertise, but also any kind of lived experience. It should also be complete. Threads are great for updating as you experience things Medium stories are better for complete ideas.Here are some great examples of threads-turned-stories:@mo-husseinis 50 Completely True Things@jsteier_29203s Im a Public Health Scientist. Heres What the Research Really Shows About Raw Milk.@gabrielle-56863s Men Cause 100% of Unwanted Pregnancies@jeremylittaus On Ukraine: Words shape facts, shape understandingNote: You can create multiple stories as a series if you want to keep running with an idea. For example, creative nonfiction writer @sklawson87 worked from libraries for 100 days and published her experiences on Medium in a series of 100 stories, starting with this one.What doesnt matter?Popularity. A thread need not go viral to be a great Medium story.Disagreements. If readers had critiques of your thread (useful or not-so-useful), turning it into a story is a great way to address those.Lack of an existing audience. One of the great things about Medium is you dont need a pre-existing audience. Using tags and publications, you can still reach your readers.Copy pasteOnce you know which thread you want to turn into a story, you can copy-paste it into a Medium draft. Or you can use a tool like Thread Reader App and copy-paste the entire body of the text into a Medium story. If you dont have a Medium account yet, you can quickly set one up by going to the Medium homepage and clicking Get Started.Flesh it outThreads often need a bit of fleshing out to be good Medium stories. Once you have all the bare text copy-pasted into your Medium draft, connect your ideas and fill them out with more detail. Normally, writers flesh out each tweet/post into its own paragraph with extra information.Youll have the opportunity to fix typos, change the order of your ideas so they flow more smoothly, add images, and do anything else you like to make it more polished and readable.Read your story to yourself silently. Read it aloud, to yourself, your friend, your cat. If you need to, you can always redraft it. Dont feel like youre committed to exactly the same words or order of ideas as in your original thread.Adjust the formattingMedium has a few formatting options you can use to make your story look the way you want it to.We have numbered lists:Like thisAnd thisYou can use bulleted lists:Like thisOr thisUse drop caps like this to stylize the first letter in your paragraph.We also have . . . separators to distinguish new sections.Add italics and bolding to highlight specific ideas. You can also separate sections using H1 and H2 headers.Heres more information on how to format your story using the Medium editor.Include any commentaryOne of the advantages of republishing your thread as a Medium story is that you get the opportunity to address any feedback your readers left you. Did you get any particularly interesting comments on your original source material? Nows your chance to include them, address them, or explain what the commenter is missing.Optionally, you can add a disclaimer to say that this story was originally posted as a thread. We most often see this as a simple line at the top or bottom of the story that says This idea was adapted from a thread here, as @mo-husseini did with his story. This comes with the additional benefit of pointing any new Medium readers back to your original audience on Bluesky, X, Mastodon, or Threads.Add pictures or imagesInclude any images from your original thread, or add in any youd like to additionally throw in. On Medium, its customary (but not required) to add a feature image. When your story is published on Medium, our recommendations system will show it on the homepage, in email digests, and underneath other stories.A feature image helps your story stand out and gives your readers some context on what its about in combination with your headline and subtitle.You can use the Medium Unsplash integration which lets you search Unsplash directly from within the Medium editor. You can also use one of your own images or another image you have the rights to.Find a publicationOne of the great things about publishing on Medium is that you can submit your story to a publication. On Medium, any member can create a publication and run it how they want, publishing stories on a range of topics as broad as science to as niche as pets. When you publish your story in a publication, it will be recommended to the followers of the publication, even if they dont follow you.To find a good home for your story, you can browse our long list of publications accepting submissions. You can also check out the Chill Subs publication directory. Most publications have their submission guidelines pinned to the top of their homepage.Or, youre welcome to self-publish. Just press Publish, select relevant Topics, and youre all set.Paywall (or not)No ads, ever, will show up next to or inside your story. Instead, Medium is 100% member-funded. Paying Medium members can read every Medium story. When they do, if the story is paywalled, a portion of their membership fee goes to that writer. Writers can choose to paywall their stories so only members can read them, or leave them freely available to everyone.If you paywall your story, youll be able to earn money when members read your work. You can also choose to leave it un-paywalled. Its up to you, and you can decide to paywall or unpaywall whenever you want.Share itTo give your readers the gift of your essay in long form (or, ahem, Medium form), you can share a link to your Medium story on the original platform you published your thread.You can also share a Friend Link if you paywalled your story, but still want non-members to be able to read. Heres more information on Friend Links from our Help Center.Last but not least, this is another great opportunity to ask for comments! On Medium, readers can leave comments on the whole piece, or highlight specific portions to leave comments on those ideas.Come back to Medium for your next thread or any story ideaWhen youve finished turning your first thread into a story, sit back and relax. Youve given new life to your ideas, and now you have a single canonical link to point your audience toward.And remember you dont need to start with a thread. Any idea can be turned into a Medium story. Just sit down and write.

A recently discovered trove of Winnie-the-Pooh materials found new homes in the United States and the United Kingdom after selling at auction. Fieldings AuctioneersSimon Smith was cleaning out his late fathers attic when he stumbled upon a plastic bag full of papers. When he looked inside, he was shocked to find letters, drawings and manuscripts that had once belonged to author A.A. Milne, the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh.Now, after [capturing the imagination of the publishing world, the rare documents have found new homes in the United States and the United Kingdom, says Will Farmer, director of Fieldings Auctioneers, toBBC News Shehnaz Khan and Elliott Webb. They sold for 95,000 (more than $118,000) at aFieldings Auctioneers sale earlier this month.The papers were discovered among the belongings of Leslie Smith, who had worked in publishing and lived in Malvern, a town in Worcestershire, England. After he died in November 2023, his son was sorting through his possessions when he found the unexpected treasure trove.Among his fathers documents, Simon Smith found original Winnie-the-Pooh manuscripts and drawings, including original sketches for The Christopher Robin Birthday Book. The collection also included first drafts of Milnes poem Wind on the Hill, as well as corrected proofs of Now We Are Six and The House at Pooh Corner.Simon Smith also discovered previously unseen correspondence between Milne, illustrator E.H. Shepherd and publisher Frederick Muller. In one letter, dated March 28, 1928, Milne defends his honey-loving bear, writing: By the way, Pooh protests strongly against being called a fabulous monster in todays Observer.In others, Milne expresses frustration with Shephards illustrations. [He] must do new drawings for April and September as the originals are very poor, Milne wrote.Simon Smith also found correspondence from English childrens author Enid Blyton, as well as postcards to his father from J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of The Lord of the Rings.How did the papers end up in Leslie Smiths hands? He had founded a publishing company called Cressrelles, which then took over the publishing company run by Mullers family, reports theGuardians Yassin El-Moudden.Simon Smith was gobsmacked by the discovery, but he didnt think it made sense for the family to keep the papers, as he toldBBC News Gavin Kermack and Webb ahead of the auction.Theres four of us [children] and plenty of grandchildren and lots of great-grandchildren, so where would they go in the family? he added. We would like to see them somewhere useful.He brought the archive to the team at Fieldings Auctioneers, who worked with Clive Farahar of the BBCs Antiques Roadshow to come up with starting prices for the papers, per the Independents Shahana Yasmin. They were split into 34 lots for the auction.Born in London in 1882, Milne was a prolific humorist, editor, essayist and playwright. After serving in World War I, he moved his familyto a farm in the English countryside. There, Milne and his son, Christopher Robin, began exploring the nearby forestoften accompanied by Christopher Robins favorite stuffed animals.Around the same time, the father-son duo visited the London Zoo and spotted a black bear named Winnie. Christopher Robin renamed his stuffed bear in the animals honorand the rest is history. Milnes first Winnie-the-Pooh tale was published in December 1925 in the London Evening News.The booksand as well as the movies, TV shows and merchandise that followedremain popular a century later. They will always have a special place in British literary lore, as Patrick Sauer wrote forSmithsonian magazine in 2017.He added: Published following the brutality of World War I, they provided a much-needed solace in a time of great sadness, a connection to the innate wonder of childhood and a specifically British sensibility.Get the latest stories in your inbox every weekday.Filed Under: Animals, Auctions, Books, British Writers, children , Cool Finds, Fiction, Letters, Literature, Writers
