  • Ah, the glorious return of the zine! Because nothing says "I’m hip and in touch with the underground" quite like a DIY pamphlet that screams “I have too much time on my hands.” WIRED has graciously gifted us with a step-by-step guide on how to create your very own zine titled “How to Win a Fight.”

    Print. Fold. Share. Download. Sounds easy, right? The process is so straightforward that even your grandma could do it—assuming she’s not too busy mastering TikTok dances. But let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer audacity of needing instructions for something as inherently chaotic as making a zine. It’s like needing a manual to ride a bike… but the bike is on fire, and you’re trying to escape a rabid raccoon.

    In the age of high-tech everything, where our phones can tell us the weather on Mars and remind us to breathe, we’re now apparently in desperate need of a physical booklet that offers sage advice on how to “win a fight.” Because nothing screams “I’m a mature adult” quite like settling disputes via pamphlet. Maybe instead of standing up for ourselves, we should just hand our opponents a printed foldable and let them peruse our literary genius.

    And let’s not forget the nostalgia factor here! The last time a majority of us saw a zine was in 1999—back when flip phones were the pinnacle of technology and the biggest fight we faced was over who got control of the TV remote. Now, we’re being whisked back to those simpler times, armed only with a printer and a fierce desire to assert our dominance through paper cuts.

    But hey, if you’ve never made a zine, or you’ve simply forgotten how to do it since the dawn of the millennium, WIRED’s got your back! They’ve turned this into a social movement, where amateur philosophers can print, fold, and share their thoughts on how to engage in fights. Because why have a conversation when you can battle with paper instead?

    Let’s be honest: this is all about making “fighting” a trendy topic again. Who needs actual conflict resolution when you can just hand out zines like business cards? Imagine walking into a bar, someone bumps into you, and instead of a punch, you just slide them a zine. “Here’s how to win a fight, buddy. Chapter One: Don’t.”

    So, if you feel like embracing your inner 90s kid and channeling your angst into a creative outlet, jump on this zine-making bandwagon. Who knows? You might just win a fight—against boredom, at least.

  • It's absolutely infuriating to see how companies like Acer continue to shove their so-called "cutting-edge technology" down our throats while the actual issues in the tech world remain unaddressed. Their recent announcement about the new Kuboilot+ series, boasting "superior artificial intelligence capabilities," is yet another example of how out of touch they are with the real needs of consumers.

    Let’s break it down. What exactly are people looking for in a laptop today? Is it just flashy features and buzzwords like "AI"? Or is it more about reliability, usability, and actual performance? The industry is drowning in gimmicks, and yet here we are, getting bombarded with another product that prioritizes marketing over substance. When will companies like Acer understand that consumers are not just looking for the latest specs, but for devices that can actually make a difference in their day-to-day lives?

    It's astonishing how companies prioritize profit margins over quality. They roll out devices that may look great on paper, but when you peel back the layers, you find a product that fails to deliver on its promises. The Kuboilot+ may boast of “superior AI features,” but what good are those features if the hardware can't support them adequately? It’s not enough to slap a fancy label on a device and expect consumers to fall for it. We need devices that work seamlessly, not just ones that can run a few flashy AI applications that most users will never utilize.

    Moreover, let's talk about the environmental impact of constantly churning out new devices. With every new release, we see more electronic waste piling up, while companies like Acer sit back and enjoy their profits, completely ignoring the damage they're causing to our planet. How can we, as consumers, continue to support brands that have no regard for sustainability? It's time to hold these companies accountable for their actions and demand that they invest in technologies that not only work but also contribute positively to the world around us.

    And let's not forget about customer support. With new technologies come new problems, and companies like Acer often fall short when it comes to helping their customers navigate these issues. When these new Kuboilot+ devices inevitably encounter bugs or performance issues, will Acer be there to help? Or will they just leave users in the lurch, forcing them to navigate a labyrinth of support calls and troubleshooting?

    In conclusion, the launch of the Kuboilot+ series is not something to celebrate; it's a wake-up call. It highlights the urgent need for consumers to demand more from tech companies. We deserve better than just another flashy device that claims to be “intelligent” without the backbone to back it up. It’s high time we stop falling for the marketing gimmicks and start holding these companies accountable for the quality and sustainability of their products.

  • So, there’s this thing about how Discord was ported to Windows 95 and NT 3.1. Honestly, it’s kind of interesting, but also a bit dull. Like, who even thinks about running Discord on those old systems? I mean, we’re all just used to the modern HTML and JavaScript-based client, right?

    It's funny to imagine people trying to connect on Discord using a system that's practically a museum piece. The whole idea of using a browser or that Electron package that still smells like a browser feels like the norm. But then again, what if there was a way to run Discord on those aged platforms? It’s a wild thought, but let’s be real—most of us would rather stick to our current setups.

    The article dives into the technical details, but let’s face it, who has the energy to sift through all that? It’s one of those things that sounds cooler on paper than it actually is in practice. I mean, sure, it’s neat that someone figured out how to make it work back in the day, but the reality is that most users don’t care about the logistics. They just want to chat, stream, or whatever it is people do on Discord nowadays.

    And it’s not like anyone is lining up to use Discord on Windows 95 or NT 3.1. I can’t even imagine the lag. I guess it’s just another piece of tech history that some people will find fascinating, while the rest of us just scroll past.

    So, yeah, that’s pretty much it. Discord on ancient systems is a thing. It happened. People did it. But let’s not pretend that it’s something we’re all eager to dive into. Honestly, I’d rather just scroll through memes or something.

  • Well, folks, it’s finally happened: Microsoft has teamed up with Asus to bless us with the “ROG Xbox Ally range” — yes, that’s right, the first Xbox handhelds have arrived! Because clearly, we were all just waiting for the day when we could play Halo on a device that fits in our pockets. Who needs a console at home when you can have a mini Xbox that can barely fit alongside your keys and loose change?

    Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer brilliance of this innovation. After years of gaming on a screen that’s bigger than your average coffee table, now you can squint at a miniature version of the Xbox screen while sitting on the bus. Who needs comfort and relaxation when you can sacrifice your eyesight for the sake of portability? Forget about the stress of lugging around your gaming setup; now you can just carry a glorified remote control!

    And how about that collaboration with Asus? Because when I think of epic gaming experiences, I definitely think of a partnership that sounds like it was cooked up in a boardroom over a cold cup of coffee. “What if we took the weight of a console and squeezed it into a device that feels like a brick?” Genius! The name “ROG Xbox Ally” even sounds like it was generated by an AI trying too hard to sound cool. “ROG” is obviously for “Really Over-the-Top Gaming,” and “Ally” is just the polite way of saying, “We’re in this mess together.”

    Let’s not overlook the fact that the last thing we needed in our lives was another device to charge. Who doesn’t love the thrill of realizing you forgot to plug in your handheld Xbox after a long day at work? Nothing screams “gaming freedom” quite like being tethered to a wall outlet while your friends are enjoying epic multiplayer sessions. Who wouldn’t want to take their gaming experience to the next level of inconvenience?

    Speaking of multiplayer, you can bet that those intense gaming sessions will be even more fun when you’re all huddled together, squinting at these tiny screens, trying to figure out how to communicate when half your friends can’t even see the action happening. It’s a whole new level of bonding, folks! “Did I just shoot you, or was that the guy on my left? Let’s argue about it while we all strain our necks to see the screen.”

    In conclusion, as we welcome the ROG Xbox Ally range into our lives, let’s take a moment to appreciate the madness of this handheld revolution. If you’ve ever dreamed of playing your favorite Xbox games on a device that feels like a high-tech paperweight, then congratulations! The future is here, and it’s as absurd as it sounds. Remember, gaming isn’t just about playing; it’s about how creatively we can inconvenience ourselves while doing so.

  • So, it’s official: Andy Bogard is making his grand entrance into the gaming world again with Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves on June 24th. Because, let’s face it, we were all just waiting for another opportunity to see a man in a headband throw punches at pixelated opponents, right? I mean, who needs character development or innovative storytelling when you can have a guy with a sweet mullet and a never-ending supply of martial arts moves?

    It’s almost poetic, really. Here we are, in the year 2023, still throwing ourselves into the nostalgia of 90s fighting games. It’s like we’re all stuck in a time loop, eagerly awaiting the return of characters who clearly haven’t aged a day. Andy Bogard, with his flashy moves and a wardrobe that screams "I’m too cool for school," is the epitome of that era. Who needs new heroes when you have the same old faces to beat the proverbial stuffing out of each other?

    Let’s not ignore the clever marketing behind this either. “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves” – a title that suggests we might actually encounter something wild and untamed. Spoiler alert: it’s just going to be more of the same. But hey, if you love the taste of nostalgia with a sprinkle of familiarity, then you’re in for a treat! I can already hear the collective “YAAAS!” from the fanbase as they dust off their old consoles, ready to relive the glory days of button-mashing combat.

    And what about the rest of the roster? You know, the characters who might actually bring something new to the table? Oh, who are we kidding! As long as Andy is there, it’s like the rest are just wallpaper in this nostalgic room. “Oh look, another character that’s not Andy Bogard! Let’s just ignore them and wait for him to throw a fireball again!”

    So mark your calendars, folks! June 24th is the date when we’ll all be reunited with our childhood memories. Just remember to keep the first aid kit handy because I can already hear the groans of all the players who will be nursing their thumbs after a night of relentless button-mashing.

    In a world that constantly craves innovation, it’s refreshing to see that some things never change. Here’s to Andy Bogard – the man, the myth, the mullet. May your punches be swift and your headband ever stylish.

  • The recent announcement of CEAD inaugurating a center dedicated to 3D printing for manufacturing boat hulls is nothing short of infuriating. We are living in an age where technological advancements should lead to significant improvements in efficiency and sustainability, yet here we are, celebrating a move that reeks of superficial progress and misguided priorities.

    First off, let’s talk about the so-called “Maritime Application Center” (MAC) in Delft. While they dazzle us with their fancy new facility, one has to question the real implications of such a center. Are they genuinely solving the pressing issues of the maritime industry, or are they merely jumping on the bandwagon of 3D printing hype? The idea of using large-scale additive manufacturing to produce boat hulls sounds revolutionary, but let’s face it: this is just another example of throwing technology at a problem without truly understanding the underlying challenges that plague the industry.

    The maritime sector is facing severe environmental concerns, including pollution from traditional manufacturing processes and shipping practices. Instead of addressing these burning issues head-on, CEAD and others like them seem content to play with shiny new tools. 3D printing, in theory, could reduce waste—a point they love to hammer home in their marketing. But what about the energy consumption and material sourcing involved? Are we simply swapping one form of environmental degradation for another?

    Furthermore, the focus on large-scale 3D printing for manufacturing boat hulls raises significant questions about quality and safety. The maritime industry is not a playground for experimental technologies; lives are at stake. Relying on printed components that could potentially have structural weaknesses is a reckless gamble, and the consequences could be disastrous. Are we prepared to accept the liability if these hulls fail at sea?

    Let’s not forget the economic implications of this move. Sure, CEAD is likely patting themselves on the back for creating jobs at the MAC, but how many traditional jobs are they putting at risk? The maritime industry relies on skilled labor and craftsmanship that cannot simply be replaced by a machine. By pushing for 3D printing at such a scale, they threaten the livelihoods of countless workers who have dedicated their lives to mastering this trade.

    In conclusion, while CEAD’s center for 3D printing boat hulls may sound impressive on paper, the reality is that it’s a misguided effort that overlooks critical aspects of sustainability, safety, and social responsibility. We need to demand more from our industries and hold them accountable for their actions instead of blindly celebrating every shiny new innovation. The maritime industry deserves solutions that genuinely address its challenges rather than a mere technological gimmick.

  • Ah, the PSVR2! The pièce de résistance of virtual reality headsets that promised to transport us to worlds so vivid, we might just forget we have to pay rent. As we wade into the futuristic wonderland of 2025, the burning question looms large: Does the PSVR2 still hold water, or is it just another fancy paperweight?

    Let’s be real for a second. When it first hit the shelves, the PSVR2 was the talk of the town, like the latest iPhone or a celebrity breakup. The immersion was touted as “total,” with visuals that could make a high-definition movie look like a flip book. But here we are, two years later, and the world’s moved on faster than a kid with a new toy. Meanwhile, our beloved headset sits in the corner, gathering dust and wondering why it’s not trending on social media.

    In the wild, wild world of gaming, what was once cutting-edge quickly becomes yesterday’s news. Remember when we couldn’t get enough of those pixelated graphics and 8-bit sounds? Now, we’re spoiled with hyper-realistic experiences that make you question if you’re playing a game or just scrolling through someone’s vacation photos. So, the big question remains: does the PSVR2 still pack a punch in 2025, or has it been eclipsed by the latest, shiniest tech?

    If we’re being honest, the PSVR2 was like that trendy café everyone raved about until they found out the coffee was brewed with dreams and unicorn tears. Sure, it looked great on paper, but how many of us have actually used it regularly? It feels like one of those impulse buys that seemed brilliant at 3 AM when you were scrolling through online reviews, but now, it just sits there as a reminder of fleeting enthusiasm.

    And let’s not forget that while we’re diving deep into virtual worlds, reality is still waiting for us with bills and responsibilities. So, is it worth the investment in 2025? The answer is simple: if you’re a die-hard gamer with pockets deep enough to fund a small country, then by all means, indulge! But if you’re like the rest of us—grappling with student loans or wondering when your next paycheck will come—maybe it’s time to consider if that VR headset is really your best friend or just an over-hyped acquaintance.

    In conclusion, the PSVR2 may still have a few tricks up its sleeve, but in the fast-paced realm of technology, it’s hard to stay relevant when new contenders are emerging faster than you can say “augmented reality.” So, if you find yourself daydreaming about those immersive experiences, just remember—sometimes, it’s okay to take a break from reality. After all, the world will still be waiting for you when you take off that headset.

    Ah, the PSVR2! The pièce de résistance of virtual reality headsets that promised to transport us to worlds so vivid, we might just forget we have to pay rent. As we wade into the futuristic wonderland of 2025, the burning question looms large: Does the PSVR2 still hold water, or is it just another fancy paperweight? Let’s be real for a second. When it first hit the shelves, the PSVR2 was the talk of the town, like the latest iPhone or a celebrity breakup. The immersion was touted as “total,” with visuals that could make a high-definition movie look like a flip book. But here we are, two years later, and the world’s moved on faster than a kid with a new toy. Meanwhile, our beloved headset sits in the corner, gathering dust and wondering why it’s not trending on social media. In the wild, wild world of gaming, what was once cutting-edge quickly becomes yesterday’s news. Remember when we couldn’t get enough of those pixelated graphics and 8-bit sounds? Now, we’re spoiled with hyper-realistic experiences that make you question if you’re playing a game or just scrolling through someone’s vacation photos. So, the big question remains: does the PSVR2 still pack a punch in 2025, or has it been eclipsed by the latest, shiniest tech? If we’re being honest, the PSVR2 was like that trendy café everyone raved about until they found out the coffee was brewed with dreams and unicorn tears. Sure, it looked great on paper, but how many of us have actually used it regularly? It feels like one of those impulse buys that seemed brilliant at 3 AM when you were scrolling through online reviews, but now, it just sits there as a reminder of fleeting enthusiasm. And let’s not forget that while we’re diving deep into virtual worlds, reality is still waiting for us with bills and responsibilities. So, is it worth the investment in 2025? The answer is simple: if you’re a die-hard gamer with pockets deep enough to fund a small country, then by all means, indulge! But if you’re like the rest of us—grappling with student loans or wondering when your next paycheck will come—maybe it’s time to consider if that VR headset is really your best friend or just an over-hyped acquaintance.

    Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 87, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world.This week, I’ve been reading about Sabrina Carpenter and Khaby Lame and intimacy coordinators, finally making a dent in Barbarians at the Gate, watching all the Ben Schwartz and Friends I can find on YouTube, planning my days with the new Finalist beta, recklessly installing all the Apple developer betas after WWDC, thoroughly enjoying Dakota Johnson’s current press tour, and trying to clear all my inboxes before I go on parental leave. It’s… going.I also have for you a much-awaited new browser, a surprise update to a great photo editor, a neat trailer for a meh-looking movie, a classic Steve Jobs speech, and much more. Slightly shorter issue this week, sorry; there’s just a lot going on, but I didn’t want to leave y’all hanging entirely. Oh, and: we’ll be off next week, for Juneteenth, vacation, and general summer chaos reasons. We’ll be back in full force after that, though! Let’s get into it.The DropDia. I know there are a lot of Arc fans here in the Installerverse, and I know you, like me, will have a lot of feelings about the company’s new and extremely AI-focused browser. Personally, I don’t see leaving Arc anytime soon, but there are some really fascinating ideasin Dia already. Snapseed 3.0. I completely forgot Snapseed even existed, and now here’s a really nice update with a bunch of new editing tools and a nice new redesign! As straightforward photo editors go, this is one of the better ones. The new version is only on iOS right now, but I assume it’s heading to Android shortly.“I Tried To Make Something In America.” I was first turned onto the story of the Smarter Scrubber by a great Search Engine episode, and this is a great companion to the story about what it really takes to bring manufacturing back to the US. And why it’s hard to justify.. That link, and the trailer, will only do anything for you if you have a newer iPhone. But even if you don’t care about the movie, the trailer — which actually buzzes in sync with the car’s rumbles and revs — is just really, really cool. Android 16. You can’t get the cool, colorful new look just yet or the desktop mode I am extremely excited about — there’s a lot of good stuff in Android 16 but most of it is coming later. Still, Live Updates look good, and there’s some helpful accessibility stuff, as well.The Infinite Machine Olto. I am such a sucker for any kind of futuristic-looking electric scooter, and this one really hits the sweet spot. Part moped, part e-bike, all Blade Runner vibes. If it wasn’t then I would’ve probably ordered one already.The Fujifilm X-E5. I kept wondering why Fujifilm didn’t just make, like, a hundred different great-looking cameras at every imaginable price because everyone wants a camera this cool. Well, here we are! It’s a spin on the X100VI but with interchangeable lenses and a few power-user features. All my photographer friends are going to want this.Call Her Alex. I confess I’m no Call Her Daddy diehard, but I found this two-part doc on Alex Cooper really interesting. Cooper’s story is all about understanding people, the internet, and what it means to feel connected now. It’s all very low-stakes and somehow also existential? It’s only two parts, you should watch it.“Steve Jobs - 2005 Stanford Commencement Address.” For the 20th anniversary of Jobs’ famousspeech, the Steve Jobs Archive put together a big package of stories, notes, and other materials around the speech. Plus, a newly high-def version of the video. This one’s always worth the 15 minutes.Dune: Awakening. Dune has ascended to the rare territory of “I will check out anything from this franchise, ever, no questions asked.” This game is big on open-world survival and ornithopters, too, so it’s even more my kind of thing. And it’s apparently punishingly difficult in spots.CrowdsourcedHere’s what the Installer community is into this week. I want to know what you’re into right now as well!

And we’re really good at predicting the weather!I’ve also been hearing for years that weather forecasting is a perfect use for AI. It’s all about vast quantities of historical data, tiny fluctuations in readings, and finding patterns that often don’t want to be found. So, of course, as soon as I read my colleague Justine Calma’s story about a new Google project called Weather Lab, I spent the next hour poking through the data to see how well DeepMind managed to predict and track recent storms. It’s deeply wonky stuff, but it’s cool to see Big Tech trying to figure out Mother Nature — and almost getting it right. Almost.See you next week!See More:

  • ‘Balls, Dice & Stickers’ Creates Carefully Planned Mayhem

    Balls, Dice & Stickers asks you to launch a ball at some dice that trigger a ton of ridiculous effects each time you hit them.

    I am not sure what I did to upset paperclips, mice, and the manifestations of the past, but they’re all here to give me a hard time unless I beat them up with some damaging dice. I won’t be rolling those dice, though. That would be a little too straightforward in this delightfully chaotic game. Instead, I’ll be launching a ball at the dice and trying to get the ball to bounce around the room, hitting the dice as much as possible before the ball pings out the bottom of the screen.

    Except THAT is also not all there is to it. Each round, you get a sticker you can apply to one of your dice. These stickers cause wildly varied effects that often build off of the other stickers. For instance, you can add a beehive to one of the dice. This can spawn a bee, which in turn will shoot needles at certain things and will like other objects. Tape adds a banana to the playing field which can provide you points. The Pub spawns a drunk driver, and that drunk driver might get caught by the police car that you spawn from landing on another die. And these dice effects all stack on top of one another as you progress through the rounds, resulting in a bustling field of dozens of bizarre, silly effects all working in tandem with one another.
    Balls, Dice & Stickers is really something to behold after you’ve got a few rounds under your belt. Describing it really doesn’t do justice to how much fun this game is once it gets rolling, so I highly recommend trying out the alpha build on itch.io. I can’t even imagine how much sillier it’s going to get in its full release.
    Balls, Dice & Stickers is availble nowon itch.io. You can add the future full release of the game to your Wishlist on Steam.

    ‘Balls, Dice & Stickers’ Creates Carefully Planned Mayhem
    Balls, Dice & Stickers asks you to launch a ball at some dice that trigger a ton of ridiculous effects each time you hit them. I am not sure what I did to upset paperclips, mice, and the manifestations of the past, but they’re all here to give me a hard time unless I beat them up with some damaging dice. I won’t be rolling those dice, though. That would be a little too straightforward in this delightfully chaotic game. Instead, I’ll be launching a ball at the dice and trying to get the ball to bounce around the room, hitting the dice as much as possible before the ball pings out the bottom of the screen. Except THAT is also not all there is to it. Each round, you get a sticker you can apply to one of your dice. These stickers cause wildly varied effects that often build off of the other stickers. For instance, you can add a beehive to one of the dice. This can spawn a bee, which in turn will shoot needles at certain things and will like other objects. Tape adds a banana to the playing field which can provide you points. The Pub spawns a drunk driver, and that drunk driver might get caught by the police car that you spawn from landing on another die. And these dice effects all stack on top of one another as you progress through the rounds, resulting in a bustling field of dozens of bizarre, silly effects all working in tandem with one another. Balls, Dice & Stickers is really something to behold after you’ve got a few rounds under your belt. Describing it really doesn’t do justice to how much fun this game is once it gets rolling, so I highly recommend trying out the alpha build on itch.io. I can’t even imagine how much sillier it’s going to get in its full release. Balls, Dice & Stickers is availble now (in an alpha format) on itch.io.
