Steam Controller review: Somehow both the most and least versatile PC controller

The Steam Controller has gained significant attention and demand, leading to inflated prices by scalpers. Valve is working on additional stock to meet this demand. The controller is ergonomically designed for comfort and features customizable buttons and touchpads that enhance gameplay. It includes gyro controls for added versatility, allowing extensive customization for users. However, it operates on Steam Input, which may cause compatibility issues with non-Steam applications, and lacks a 3.5mm headphone port. The Steam Controller is best suited for dedicated Steam users who enjoy customization, while those preferring a straightforward experience may find it less appealing.

Samsung Driving Insights app could be the backseat driver no one asked for

A newly leaked build of Samsung's One UI 9 reveals an app called Driving Insights, which uses artificial intelligence to provide personalized feedback on driving habits. The app analyzes driving behaviors through location tracking and AI algorithms, generating weekly summaries for users. It assesses aspects such as speed and braking intensity, and activates when a phone connects to a vehicle's Bluetooth. Users can filter reports by time and distance, receiving feedback ranging from commendations to constructive advice. The app will also monitor rapid acceleration and sharp turns. Driving Insights aims to enhance driving practices, but raises concerns about the reliability of AI-generated advice in promoting safe driving.

Microsoft to retire Edge sidebar apps as part of Windows 11 simplification

Microsoft is retiring the sidebar app list feature from its Edge browser, starting with users signed in with a Microsoft account. The ability to add new apps to the sidebar has already been disabled, and existing pinned apps will be removed in a future update. Users will receive notifications prior to the full removal of the feature. Microsoft has not provided a direct replacement for the sidebar app list, and while features like Split Screen remain available, they do not replicate the sidebar's quick-access functionality. Microsoft plans to continue developing its Copilot integration within Edge, despite mixed user responses to the removal of the sidebar app list.

Microsoft is finally ditching the junk MSN feed in Windows widgets

Microsoft will eliminate the MSN news feed from the widgets panel in Windows 11, shifting to a "quiet by default" experience. This change includes disabling the automatic opening of the widgets panel when hovering over its taskbar icon and turning off distracting taskbar badges by default. Users will now see a more personalized set of information in the widgets panel instead of notifications related to stocks, weather, or news. These updates aim to create a less distracting interface and improve the overall user experience in Windows 11, with further enhancements expected throughout 2026.
