That's right—I play everything with a controller.
At least, I play all of my usual genres with a controller. And, up until about three years ago, the arrangement worked. A non-zero number of PC gamers may be shrieking silently (or loudly) about how unideal it is to play certain games with analog sticks, but I never had a problem.
Then my friend group decided to play PvP games. On PC.
One day, I'm playing Sea of Thieves and drunkenly lurching off a boat into water (my character, not me), and then the next, I'm trying to line up headshots on a human opponent who most definitely knows how not to get shot.
It didn't take long to realize I needed a lot of help, and that assistance had to come either from my friends or divine intervention, because I certainly didn't seem capable of helping myself. So I did what everyone with wishful thinking does. I bought stuff to fix my problem. Specifically, I bought the weirdest, wildest, and arguably coolest gaming keypad available.

First, a quick recap: Google had already teased—intentionally—a new Gemini smart speaker during its Pixel event a couple of weeks back, and just days ago it promised an upcoming Google Home update on October 1, complete with a partial image of what appears to be a new Nest camera.
Those hints at new Google Home products aren't the leaks we're talking about now, though. Instead, it seems Google may have inadvertently left images of its new Nest hardware in the Google Home app following a recent update.
The images, which were spotted by Android Authority and appear to have been subsequently yanked from the app, don't reveal anything startlingly new about the new Nest cams, aside from the fact that they exist.

As part of a Thursday meeting with the White House's AI Education Task Force — chaired by Melania Trump — Microsoft said it would provide a free Microsoft 365 Personal subscription to college students for a year's time. Microsoft normally charges $99.99 annually for that Microsoft 365 Personal subscription, so that's a fairly substantial savings for a college student.
Students will need to sign up for the (free) subscription using a college ID email address. The subscription includes everything that the Personal subscription already does, including access to Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and more, plus Copilot and 1 TB of online storage.
There is a catch, of course: the first year's free. After that, students will either be asked to pay another year's subscription — though that will be discounted by half, to about $50 per year or $4.99 per month, Microsoft said.
Microsoft is also offering students and teachers free AI courses via LinkedIn Learning, the company said.
Microsoft isn't the only company trying to convince U.S. students to join their programs. In addition to the typical student discounts offered to college students. Google said in April that the company will offer Google Gemini Advanced, plus perks like NotebookLM Plus and 2TB of cloud storage for free.

A new 4K floodlight security camera, and more AI smarts for your videos.

With ReoNeura, Reolink's gext-gen AI security system, Reolink says it's committed to "delivering user-centric smart security solutions that set new standards for modern surveillance." That's a big claim, considering how unimpressed we were with its earlier Local AI Video Search in our review of the otherwise excellent Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi.
Given that that software was released in beta form shortly before we finished our review of that otherwise excellent product, we didn't let it stop us from naming the $220 floodlight cam an Editors' Choice winner. The fact that this AI processing can occur on the camera itself or on some Reolink NVRs without requiring a subscription is immensely appealing.
That said, Reolink says AI processing that is performed in the cloud "unlocks advanced AI capabilities without hardware upgrades."

Recently, a group of scientists claimed they found possible signs of life on a planet called K2-18b. The news made headlines. Researchers said they'd detected sulphur-based gases that, on Earth, are strongly associated with life. But the research caused an uproar in astronomy circles because other scientists don't think the data is strong enough to celebrate an alien find just yet. In fact, they have some real issues with how this whole thing went down, and a new analysis casts further doubt on the findings. NPR science correspondent Nell Greenfieldboyce is here to wade into the controversy — and tell us what all this means for the future of searching for life beyond our solar system.

Fortinet has added features that broaden the range of management and security tools for its secure access service edge (SASE) package.
The company has added a feature to its Secure Private Access that ties SASE resources together with SD-WAN-based applications through a Fortinet SD-WAN hub located in a nearby point-of-presence (PoP). The idea is to support larger hybrid environments and simplify anywhere access to corporate applications, said Nirav Shah, vice president of products with Fortinet.
