From RAM upgrades and storage mods to Steam Deck and ROG Ally experiments, e1000 has spent years pushing handheld hardware beyond what manufacturers thought possible

This week, we had four huge articles and I couldn't be happier! Also, I made this week's site updates 100% public!

I love Jellyfin. I've talked about it here on The Review many times. Before I was a Jellyfin user, though, I was a Plex guy.

See, I've never been keen on the idea of streaming services. You know the ones: Netflix, Hulu, ~~CBS All Access~~ Paramount

The Linux user experience we have? It's not the one we deserve.

Since this is early access, I'm well-aware and well-informed that this is not going to be the full and polished version of the game. Obviously. I've been taking things with a grain of salt and I've honestly had a really positive experience so far.

Friends, LTT just dropped their latest Linux Challenge video (episode 3).

I spent all day editing my reaction since I felt I had a lot to say about this one.

I also had a bit of a freak out at the end when I saw just how badly the Linux

The new price of the Steam Deck signals that the Steam Machine might be even more expensive than we thought.

Sometimes the best projects begin with the developer feeling frustrated. For Hans, that frustration was losing saves, manually moving files between devices, and trying to keep an increasingly complicated retro gaming setup organized across MiSTer FPGA, handhelds, PCs, and original hardware. What started as a personal pain point eventually became

Steam Deck, Steam Machine, Steam Frame, or even the Legion Go S! Heck, this should work with Bazzite, too!

New hardware reviews, new free software releases, and a whole lot more this week on The Bryant Review!

The Steam Deck has been around for a few years now. In handheld terms, that's long enough for the ecosystem to settle, communities form, projects to grow up, and for the people building software around a platform to figure out what works, what doesn't and where

A modern handheld with a nostalgic heart

And you can even keep your data intact!

A new update with new features is here!

While Lursa and B'Etor were comically evil, mustache-twirling, obvious villains for the time... their treachery and despotic self-interest is all-too-recognizable in the context of the modern day.

At some point, 'practicality' stops being the interesting question. What's left is how _identical_ everything has become.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately, because most of the devices I carry now (phone, earbuds, handhelds, whatever) all blur into the same familiar slab

A recent security incident involving Cemu _(software to emulate Wii U games and applications on PC_) has been circulating in the emulation space, after compromised Linux AppImage and Ubuntu package builds were distributed for a short window between May 6 and May 12.

The official PSA outlines what happened and

Hear me out. I think you'll agree.

I had a blast with Emily and her family!

It has been two years since my mom passed away. In honor of my mother, Fay Marie, I wanted to share the eulogy I wrote for her funeral.

Thank you all for coming.

Happy Mother's Day! I was on vacation last week so I didn't write a _Week in Review_. But that's what this one is for! We had a bunch of articles, a ton of audio/visual content, and more drop. Plus, we've got

I’ve already spent some time stepping away from streaming with another digital audio player, but the Snowsky Echo sits in a slightly different space. Where something like the Innioasis Y1 leans _heavily_ into affordable nostalgia as a concept, the Echo feels more like an attempt to refine it,

According to shipping manifests, Valve's importing some 50 tons of consoles just one day after the Steam Controller sold out!

I've spent the last year or so slowly replacing the everything-machine in my pocket with devices that do one thing and do it well. A BOOX e-reader for books. Retro handheld consoles for games. An automatic watch that tells time and nothing else. So when I started looking

My first impressions, review, and testing!

If you’re anything like me, the recent wave of dual-screen retro handhelds feels like a return to the Nintendo DS era. You pick up something like the AYN Thor and, for a moment, it all clicks! Two displays, stacked, full of potential. But then you start using it
