NX Tech Tips — SHORT 📱 (Nov 14): The $70 GTA 6 Box With No Game

GTA 6 went disc-less — it's just a code in the box. And some sealed boxes shipped with no code inside at all. Plus: a robot folded an iPhone Duo 451,000 times in twenty days, Cloudflare open-sourced a browser built for AI agents, and a $69 box makes your old stereo smart again.

1️⃣ The box with no game — Rockstar's GTA 6 has no disc, just a code-in-box. Some sealed retail cases shipped with no code inside — one buyer got a poster, and Rockstar closed two support tickets. Best Buy refused a refund. 2️⃣ The hinge that folded 451,000 times — CNET's Fold-a-Phone robot ran around the clock for twenty days. The iPhone Duo's hinge now stops five degrees short of flat — that's the equivalent of twelve and a half years of normal use, and it's still working. 3️⃣ The browser robots browse with — Cloudflare open-sourced Kitesurf under Apache 2.0: a stateless browser built for AI agents, running on Workers, parsing HTML and running JavaScript with less CPU and memory than Chromium. 4️⃣ Your old gear, smarter — Home Assistant's Connect AUX-2 ($69) adds RS-232, Bluetooth, Z-Wave, USB, PoE and Wi-Fi to old TVs and stereos. "The most sustainable device is the one you already own."
