MoreDo you prefer to buy your games physically or digitally?
Buying games used to be an event. You'd need to save up or wait for your parents to agree to buy one, and then get dragged along on five other errands before you could get back home to start playing. Thankfully we had those awesome game manuals to read in the car to tide us over until we could slap that game in our console and play. We've already gone from cartridges to discs, but now games are primarily sold digitally. PC gamers have been primarily downloading games for decades, but it's only been since the 360 and PS3 days that downloading full games on a console was even possible. What started as a novelty has now turned into the primary way games are sold and bought.

Pocket-lint has compiled a list of 14 products Apple is expected to release by year's end. I skimmed through the whole article, and only the last entry caught my eye: a foldable.

With the upcoming release of Google's brand-new flagship smartphone lineup -- the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold -- the search giant is rumored to be crafting a pretty compelling portfolio of hardware. All the bells and whistles you'd expect from high-end handsets in 2024 are anticipated to be in tow, aside from one glaring omission: Qi2 inductive wireless charging. Sure, Google's latest phones will undoubtedly be capable of receiving a charge wirelessly, but rumors of the magnet ring outlined in the Qi2 specification are inexplicably missing. Without magnets, Google's new phones will be cut off from an entire world of Qi2 and MagSafe compatible stands, chargers, mounts, and other accessories. Head scratchingly, it's not just Pixel phones that apparently haven't gotten the memo -- we're yet to see any major Android manufacturer embrace the magnetic new world of Qi2, and that's disappointing. The Qi2 spec was finalized almost a
