Developer auctions off sticker space on a MacBook he hasn't even bought yet, and it worked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cutting corners: Every blank area is a potential advertising space, whether it's on the side of a building or the back of a MacBook. People already inadvertently use that area, as is clear from the rows of laptop lids covered in stickers you'd spot at any cafe – a fair few of them featuring big-name brands. However, one smart French developer worked out that he could be sending an invoice for it. Surprisingly, he doesn't even have the MacBook yet. The developer here is Vincent, who posts on X as
Valve is 30 years old today, and it all began with two former Microsoft employees and a risky bet on games (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In context: Most companies mark a major birthday with a press release and a photo of a cake in the break room. But Valve has done nothing of the sort so far for the big day.

Quake turns 30, and it just got two surprise expansions in one week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why it matters: Quake turned 30 this year, and QuakeCon, the LAN party that grew up alongside it, reached the same milestone. Normally, anniversaries like these bring little more than a storefront sale and a nostalgic look back. But over the past day, Quake fans got much more than that. Two separate troves of new Quake content surfaced: one released by id Software itself – a welcome surprise. The other was even more unexpected, arriving through a far stranger route involving a secondhand compute

Read excerpt
In a nutshell: Dolby Laboratories and Hisense have announced that Dolby Vision 2 has begun rolling out to customers as a firmware update. The first sets to get the feature all come from Hisense's 2026 lineup, and include the UX, UR9, UR8, and U7 models. Each model must be running either Google TV or VIDAA, Hisense's own television operating system, for the update to be installed.
