When the Steam Deck OLED launched three years ago, we were glad to see that the new, more brilliant screen fixed the biggest flaw of Valve's original handheld hardware. So we're unsurprisingly excited about today's announcement that Asus is preparing a new, OLED-equipped ROG Xbox Ally X20 for the coming holiday season. Still, it's a bit worrying that Asus is positioning the new upgrade as a niche collector's item rather than its new handheld gaming standard. The X20 expands the 7-inch screen found on last year's ROG Xbox Ally line to 7.4 inches, matching the display on the Steam Deck OLED and approaching the 7.9-inch screen on the Switch 2. The 1080p HDR panel also increases the maximum brightness from 500 nits on original Xbox Ally models to a full 1400 and adds some new anti-glare coating that should help when playing in direct sunlight. The X20's 120 Hz display now supports Dolby Vision HDR colors and FreeSync Premium Pro to help smooth frame rates while still providing a larger color gamut. On the control front, the X20 introduces magnetic TMR thumbsticks , replacing the carbon-film potentiometers that made the original Xbox Ally more prone to stick drift and physical wear. A new d-pad on the X20 also introduces a neat little lift-and-twist design that can transform it from a four-direction cross to a more circular eight-direction pad, similar to the convertible d-pad found on some now-classic Xbox 360 controllers .

The state of Florida sued OpenAI and Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman , accusing the artificial intelligence company of ignoring safety warnings and releasing a product that is harmful to users. The lawsuit , filed Monday in state court, accuses OpenAI of violating product liability laws, and also raises negligence and deceptive and unfair trade practices claims. Florida is seeking civil penalties, and a court order for the company to stop collecting certain data from users under the age of 13 without parental consent. “Sam Altman and ChatGPT have chosen the AI race over the safety and security of kids,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said during a press conference. “They have chosen profit over public safety. We’re not going to stand for it here in Florida.” The complaint appears to be the first of its kind filed by a state against OpenAI, although the ChatGPT maker is facing a series of lawsuits filed by individuals claiming a range of harms on children and adults alike. Some cite growing delusions with extended use, while others say it led to death by suicide and even murder-suicide . The new lawsuit filed by Florida is separate from a criminal probe initiated by the state in April over possible liability for the company after authorities said ChatGPT was used in a mass shooting at Florida State University. OpenAI has said it wasn’t responsible for the tragedy and said it is cooperating with the investigation. “This litany of harms is driven by defendants’ insatiable quest to win the AI arms race and amass large fortunes, despite knowing the danger of ChatGPT,” the state said in its lawsuit. “Left unabated, defendants’ conduct will continue to threaten the health and safety of Florida residents.” OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the lawsuit. The company has denied wrongdoing in past litigation covering similar issues, maintaining that safety is a priority and that they have taken steps to improve ChatGPT’s training to r...
