I'm always bad about announcing personal news, but after four and a half years at Gizmodo, next week I'll be joining @engadget!
So send me pitches for all the coolest and most interesting tech, and stay tuned for more reviews and stories coming soon.

This is the hard hitting sports journalism ESPN has been dropping the ball on for years.

Just wanted to post this photo from the Apple event today of Steve Wozniak getting a look at the iPhone Air.
I couldn't have set it up any better even if I tried.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 review: looks like a regular phone with an exquisitely thin design, has top-tier performance, but is very pricey and lacks S Pen support (@samrutherford / Engadget)

Reckless driving aside, Zach is a real one for hitting 101mph in a fucking Kia Sorento.

Just an FYI, getting a microSD Express card for the Switch 2 is going to be a mess.
The two Best Buys I went to this morning were sold out and according to a salesperson I talked to, GameStop doesnt have a ton of stock, especially for the larger 512GB and 1TB cards.
Pre Switch 2 launch status check:
There are about 30 people in line for pre sales (aka people who don't have confirmed reservations) at the Union Square Game Stop.
Trump is the Grinch.

Dropping these here because I was pretty happy with how my review photos turned out.
Also, the Pixel 9a is just a really good phone for a very reasonable price.

Google Pixel 9a review: great display, battery life, and cameras, sleek design, and IP68, but slow charging, no Pixel Screenshot app, and finicky Macro Focus (@samrutherford / Engadget)

The fun thing about a physical Balatro deck is that it makes you really care about the design of the jokers.
Plus you get four of them instead of two.

Google Pixel 9a hands-on: an iPhone 16e rival with a 120Hz display and water drop-inspired camera bump that seems to have minimal differences to the Pixel 9 (@samrutherford / Engadget)

The Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.
They are trying to make America great again by bringing us back to times like when almost 100 people (or more according to some sources) died building the Hoover dam.

To all the people out there talking about how Deepseek upended the AI revolution, I have to ask: Have you actually used Deepseek?
It hallucinates way more than any of its rivals and has even worse limitations when discussing stuff like tank man and Winnie the Pooh.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: excellent screen, performance, and battery life, slimmer bezels, and new 50MP UW sensor, but no S Pen Air actions and pricey (@samrutherford / Engadget)
