Steam Frame vs Apple Vision Pro vs Meta Quest 3 — Which has stronger specs, and which is best for gaming?
Virtual reality headsets have gotten increasingly popular over the past few years. Sony’s PlayStation VR and VR2, along with the just-launched Samsung Galaxy XR, and the revamped Apple Vision Pro are some examples. These tech giants join Meta in the virtual reality fray, giving us true competition in the AR/VR space for the first time.
Yesterday, Valve announced that it’s also creating a brand new virtual reality headset, the Steam Frame, which is a follow-up to the 2019 Valve Index headset. (Valve also announced a ton more Steam hardware.) It’s built to be a streaming-first experience that is compatible with your entire Steam library, whether your games are VR or non-VR. But how does it stack up with other headsets? Let's take a look.
SEE ALSO: Valve announces new Steam Machine console: Price, specs, release date Steam Frame vs. Vision Pro vs. Quest 3: Just the specs Meta Quest 3 VR headset with controllers. Credit: Alex Perry / MashableBefore we compare these headsets in more detail, let's review the specifications for each. If you don't care about how much storage or RAM each headset has, just keep scrolling.
You'll have to wait until 2026 to get your hands (and face) on the Steam Frame. For now, we can only geek out over the specs:
Processor: 4 nm Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3, Architecture: ARM64
RAM: 16GB Unified LPDDR5X RAM
Storage: 256GB / 1TB UFS storage options, microSD card slot
Resolution: 2160 x 2160 (per eye)
Refresh Rate: 72-144Hz refresh rate (144Hz experimental)
Battery Capacity: 21.6Wh
Field of View: Up to 110 degrees
Eyetracking included: Yes
Price: TBA
Apple just released its new Vision Pro headset in October. It's largely the same headset as the original released in 2023, but now powered by M5 silicon. Here are all the details:
Processor: Apple M5 chip
RAM: 16G
Storage: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB
Resolution: 3,660 × 3,200 (per-eye)
Refresh Rate: 90Hz, 96Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz
Battery Capacity: Up to 2.5 hours of general use, video playback up to 3 hours
Field of View: ~100 degrees
Eyetracking included: Yes
Price: $3,499
And here are the Meta Quest 3's specs:
Processor: Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 512GB
Resolution: 2064 x 2208 (per eye)
Refresh Rate: 72Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz
Battery Capacity: 19.44Wh
Field of View: 110 degrees horizontal and 96 degrees vertical
Eyetracking included: No
Price: $499.99
On the gaming side of things, the Steam Frame is going to have a huge advantage over the competition, as Valve promises you’ll be able to play your entire Steam library. With Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro, you can only play games that were specifically designed or ported to that platform. While the Quest 3 has a decent selection of titles, the Vision Pro really wasn't designed for gaming, and its library reflects that fact.
On top of that, the Steam Frame will be compatible with other Steam hardware, including the Steam Machine, Deck, and controller, making it a much more versatile headset than the others.
AR and VR: What's the difference?With virtual reality, you can disappear into fully realized virtual worlds. With augmented reality, you can still see and interact with the world around you. Where it gets messy is that AR headsets like the Vision Pro also support VR experiences, so it's not a clean distinction. Based on what we know, the Steam Frame is very much in the VR category.
An augmented reality scene with the Vision Pro. Credit: AppleThe Steam Frame only contains monochrome passthrough cameras, while the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 have colored passthroughs. This means that the Quest and Vision Pro support augmented and mixed reality, while the Steam Frame seemingly cannot. On the surface, this makes Steam Frame more of a downgrade compared to its competition, as it's a pure virtual reality headset. However, it also has a “user accessible front expansion port,” which could be utilized to add more features in the future, including color passthroughs.
The Quest 3 still wins out on priceValve hasn’t revealed a price for the Steam Frame, but the company is aiming to have it under $1,000, which is the price of a Valve Index headset. Meta Quest 3 still seems to be the most affordable of the three headsets, sitting at $500. Apple’s Vision Pro remains the most expensive at a whopping $3,500, but it comes with higher-cost components, a premium design, and some futuristic AR features.
The Steam Frame is set to launch sometime in early 2026.
Vine is back, rebooted as diVine, funded by Twitters Jack Dorsey
What's old is new again — Vine is back.
Well, kind of. And Other Stuff, a nonprofit collective run by Jack Dorsey — yes, the Twitter founder who originally killed Vine — financed diVine, which launched Thursday. It has very similar branding to Vine, is focused on six-second videos, and will feature archived, old Vines. TechCrunch, which spoke with the company, reported diVine users will have access to over 100,000 archived Vine videos.
Here's what diVine's site says:
"Experience the raw, unfiltered creativity of real people sharing genuine moments in 6-second loops. Built on decentralized technology, owned by no one, controlled by everyone."
It tracks that someone would try to reboot Vine, considering the massive success of TikTok, which feels like its spiritual successor. Elon Musk, in fact, has threatened to reboot Vine in the past.
Besides rebooting the six-second concept and relying on open-source tech, diVine has another interesting core promise: no AI. In a time of increasing AI slop, diVine will not allow — and will prevent the posting of — AI-generated content.
SEE ALSO: Vine is dead. Let's keep it that way."So basically, I’m like, can we do something that’s kind of nostalgic?" Evan Henshaw-Plath, the person leading the project, told TechCrunch. "Can we do something that takes us back, that lets us see those old things, but also lets us see an era of social media where you could either have control of your algorithms, or you could choose who you follow, and it’s just your feed, and where you know that it’s a real person that recorded the video?"

The best gifts for pet owners range from useful pet tech like pet cameras and GPS collars to enrichment toys, unique pet furniture, and enticing scratchers. Anything that introduces a new way to give treats is a guaranteed home run, of course.

AT&T data breach settlement claim form: Where to get it, deadline to file
You have about a month left to claim a portion of the $177 million data breach settlement against AT&T. Last month, the deadline to file was extended to December, so there's still time to file a claim.
The first of the two large-scale breaches was discovered in March 2024, after customer data appeared on the dark web. AT&T later explained in a statement that the breach compromised the addresses, social security numbers, and passcodes of users in a database going back to 2019. An even larger data breach was uncovered in late 2024. This breach exposed the telephone numbers and records of calls and texts of nearly every AT&T customer, and took place between approximately May 1 and Oct. 31, 2022, and on Jan. 3, 2023.
SEE ALSO: 5 big tech settlements you might be eligible for in 2025Following a class action lawsuit, courts ruled in June that the company would dole out $177 million to affected AT&T customers who had accounts between 2019 and 2024. Claimants were divided into two classes: account holders affected by the March 2024 breach would split $149 million, while customers whose communications were downloaded in the July incident would share $28 million. Direct payments to users who suffered financial losses were paid first — up to $5,000 for the first class or $2,500 for the second — according to the company.
Now, everyone else whose data was exposed is splitting the pile. Affected customers should manage their expectations, however — the $177 million is being divided up between a large pool of customers.
How to claim your AT&T settlement moneyAccording to the settlement website, affected customers now have until Dec. 18 to claim their cut — impacted users should have already received a settlement notice containing a Class Member ID. If you would like to opt out of the settlement, or want to object to your classification under the settlement, you have to physically mail in a request by Nov. 17.
The settlement's final approval hearing will be held on Jan. 15.
To be paid, you must fill out the settlement claim form. You will need your Class Member ID, as well as an email address, AT&T account number, or full name. Be prepared to fill out payment information, such as a direct deposit or check, too.
Who is eligible for the AT&T settlement?There are different eligibility requirements for the two settlement classes in the case:
For Class 1: eligibility extends to any living person whose personal identification information was exposed by the March incident
For Class 2: eligibility extends to AT&T account owners or "line or end users" whose numbers or direct communications were downloaded by bad actors
Customers will be paid based on the severity of the data breach.
For Class 1: Individuals who had their Social Security Numbers exposed (Tier 1) will receive five times more money than those who did not (Tier 2)
For Class 2: Individuals who did not prove a documented financial loss will receive a share of remaining settlement funds (Tier 3)
Have questions? You can call the settlement hotline (833) 890-4930 to get answers.

Tesla recalls Powerwall 2 AC Battery System due to fire hazards
Tesla has another recall on its hands — and this time it doesn't involve its EV cars.
On Thursday, Tesla issued a recall notice for its Powerwall 2 AC Battery System and has instituted a replacement program for the roughly 10,500 affected units in the United States. Tesla's Powerwall 2 AC Battery System is a residential or light commercial solution for storing energy generated by solar or from the grid.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), "the lithium-ion battery cells in certain Powerwall 2 systems can cause the unit to stop functioning during normal use." A malfunctioning device can overheat "and, in some cases, smoke or flame and can [sic] cause death or serious injury due to fire and burn hazards," the official CPSC recall notice states.
The affected units were purchased from Tesla's website and through certified installation technicians for $8,000 between November 2020 and December 2022, according to the CPSC. Tesla is blaming a "third-party battery cell defect" for the issue.
The CPSC says it has received 22 reports of Tesla's Powerwall 2 AC Battery System overheating. Of those reports, six involved smoking units and five resulted in fires, which caused minor property damage. No injuries have been reported in connection with the device.
Tesla says that it has already "remotely discharged" nearly all the affected units, which means they no longer pose a risk. Any remaining units will be manually discharged by technicians. In addition, all affected Powerwall 2 units will be removed and replaced at no charge to customers.
Powerwall 2 owners should check their Tesla app for any updates from the company.
The Samsung XR headset comes with a dizzying number of freebies you'll actually use
Samsung is jumping into the VR space with the new Galaxy XR headset. While the technical specifications of the Galaxy XR are incredibly compelling on their own, the sheer number of premium subscriptions and full games bundled for free is the real selling point.
The new Steam Machine looks great, but there's one big problem (and it's not the price)
Although it was pretty much only a rumor for the longest time, a new Steam Machine from Valve is now a cold hard fact. Valve announced its new SteamOS-powered gaming PC on the 12th of November 2025, and it looks like we're about to see another Steam Deck-level market disruption.
Belkin recalls over 80K chargers and batteries after burn injuries reported
Battery recalls are nothing new, but they're still annoying when they do happen. And even more so when it's something that was sold so widely, there's a solid chance you own one. Belkin sold over 80,000 of these battery packs and wireless stands before issuing this recall, so it's pretty bad.

However, it's been 20 years since I last watched a tape, and it turns out our memories can be inaccurate in the strangest way.

Apples new M5 iPad Pro keeps getting cheaper — score it for its best price yet
SAVE $64: As of Nov. 13, the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro (M5, 256GB, WiFi) is on sale for $935 at Amazon. That's $64 or 6% off its list price, and its lowest price to date.

The latest Apple iPad Pro keeps getting cheaper as we inch our way toward Black Friday. Last week, we saw the 11-inch base model drop $50 to $949 — a pretty good deal for a top-of-the-line iPad that just came out a few weeks ago. Earlier this week, Amazon shaved another $10 off its cost. Now, just a few days later, you can save another 4 bucks.
As of Nov. 13, you can pick up the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with the M5 chip, 256GB of storage, and WiFi connectivity for its lowest price yet — just $935 at Amazon. That's $64 off its list price of $999. Could this be its Black Friday price, or will it drop even further? Feel free to roll the dice if you wish; just know you're already getting the best price so far on this iPad if you shop early.
Mashable's tech editor Timothy Beck Werth took the M5 iPad Pro for a whirl last month and called it "a victory lap for Apple." As with most upgrades in 2025, it's not a whole lot different than its predecessor. But that's not a bad thing — we loved the M4 model as well. It's extremely light at just 0.98 pounds and only 5.3mm thin, which is even slimmer than the new iPhone Air. The M5 processor is astonishingly fast and more powerful than the average user really needs. As Werth puts it, "Everyday use is wasted on this tablet."
That being said, it's a great fit for creative professionals like graphic designers and video editors. Or if you just really want the best of the best in terms of tablets, we're certainly not going to dissuade you from buying it — especially when it's at its lowest price ever.
Poker Face shocker: Could Peter Dinklage replace Natasha Lyonne?
According to Deadline, Peacock has canceled Rian Johnson's whodunnit Poker Face after two seasons. However, Johnson still has plans for the show moving forward — ones that involve recasting lead star Natasha Lyonne entirely.
SEE ALSO: Rian Johnson breaks down 'Poker Face' Season 2's killer Stephen Sondheim referencesAs Deadline reports, Johnson has started shopping Poker Face around to other broadcasters, with the help of Ram Bergman, his T-Street producing partner; Lyonne, who also served as an executive producer on Poker Face; and MRC, one of the production companies behind Poker Face.
Johnson is looking for a two-season deal, with a catch. In these next two seasons, Lyonne would be out as "human lie detector" Charlie Cale, and Peter Dinklage would be taking over the role.
In a statement to Deadline, Johnson and Lyonne said, "We’ve been germinating this next move together since writing the season two finale. We love our Poker Face and this is the perfect way to keep it rolling. Give us a beat and we may just see Charlie Cale again down that open highway."
If given the opportunity to continue Poker Face, Johnson plans to keep recasting the role of Charlie every two seasons, allowing other actors their chance to sink their teeth into the role. Think of it as Columbo meets Doctor Who.
Poker Face Season 2 remained one of Peacock's most-watched series, although its numbers were down from Season 1. The series as a whole has received critical acclaim and earned a slew of Emmy nominations, with Judith Light winning for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2023.

Early Black Friday deals are really making us wonder if the event is unofficially here. Amazon and Best Buy are packed with deals on some of 2025's best tech. But shockingly, there are some excellent Apple deals right now, including record lows on the new M5 models.
As of Nov. 13, the Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is on sale at Amazon for $1,480, down from the normal price of $1,599. That's a 7% discount that shaves a nice $119 off the normal price. We've seen small discounts on this laptop, but this is the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon, and the first time it's been over $100 off.
SEE ALSO: I found 30+ early Black Friday tech deals I'd recommend to friends and family: Save on Apple, Samsung, DJIMashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth reviewed the new M5 MacBook Pro and awarded it a Mashable Choice Award. Werth noted, "The new MacBook Pro offers only iterative improvements over its predecessor, but that hardly matters with a device this good. With a beautifully crisp display and M5 silicon, the MacBook Pro surges even further ahead of Windows laptops." Like all of the new Apple products released this year, it also offers a major upgrade in battery life, according to our run-down tests.
Upgrades on the M5 MacBook Pro included the new M5 chip, of course, with truly ridiculous levels of performance for professions, artists, creators, and even casual ga.mers. There's also a nice selection of ports, and we're still impressed with the Liquid Retina display that came with the 2024 version of the MacBook Pro.
Before this sale price disappears, take advantage and save $119 on the new M5 MacBook Pro, 14-Inch. There's no denying it's an exceptional machine, now available at a record-low price. Be sure to go with the Space Black option to score the sale price of $1,480.
Can you install Windows XP on a modern computer?
I must have installed Windows XP on computers at least a hundred times in my life, and probably quite a bit more than that. While it was still a supported OS, it was as easy as booting from a disc (remember those?) and clicking a few options.
