Official Expansion Card
The Seagate storage expansion card is the only officially licensed expansion card for Xbox Series X and S, and it's built in partnership with Xbox to deliver seamless gameplay. Unlike external hard drives (which may only hold Series X|S games but will not play from the drive itself), this card lets you play your entire collection from the card itself.
It mounts right onto the back of your console and acts exactly the same as the internal SSD, so you'll hardly notice a difference in graphics, latency, load times or framerates. This is a big plus for consumers who want to quickly hop between titles without losing any enjoyment or seamlessly access features such as Quick Resume which can bring you back to multiple games almost instantly.
Thanks to having 2TB of storage, this is the highest-capacity expansion card available at present for the Xbox Series X|S. It gives you enough space to store thousands of games over four generations of Xbox so you'll never have to take out your favorites to make room for newcomers. The plug-and-play convenience lets you start using it right away—no set-up or install required. Just plug it in, and your console will recognize it at once.
The Seagate Storage Expansion Card uses NVMe SSD technology and is built with Xbox Velocity Architecture which ensures that games load quickly and run smoothly. You'll experience richer environments, more immersive gameplay, and faster transitions between scenes. All of the games you play from the expansion card are played as fast and silky as they would be if they were installed onto the console's internal SSD so you never have to compromise on speed or quality.
For convenience and capacity maximizers, the Seagate Storage Expansion Card 2TB is your best bet. It's the one expansion card that lets you play Xbox Series X|S games directly from external storage without performance loss. The ongoing price cut on Amazon is more irresistible still given how difficult it is to get deals like this outside of major sale events.

Wolfspeed announces restructuring agreement
DURHAM, N.C. (WUTR/WFXV/WPNY) – Wolfspeed, the silicon carbide semiconductor company with a facility in Marcy, has announced an agreement on a Restructuring Support Agreement that would give the company some financial breathing room after a brief time in Chapter 11. The agreement is with 97% of the company's secured note holders and Renesas Electronics Corporation. The deal is expected to reduce the company's debt by around 70%, or approximately $4.6 billion dollars. It could also reduce the company's cash interest payments by about 60% annual. Wolfspeed says they plan to submit the agreement to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the near future under a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company says that they expect to move through this process quickly and emerge from Chapter 11 by the end of the third quarter of this year. The company says that during the process vendors will be paid for ordinary goods and services provided. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Google app is now home to your Pinterest-like personalized image feed
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google has started rolling out a new 'Images' tab in the latest beta version of the Google app. The Images tab lets users select interest categories, such as fashion or home decor, to build a tailored visual feed using publicly available search images, similar to platforms like Pinterest. The feature is currently limited to beta users for testing and feedback, with potential for wider rollout soon. We've previously spotted Google working on a Pinterest-like feed within the Google app that would show people images, seemingly inspiring them on topics like fashion, interior design, and more. The feature was a work-in-progress at the time, and we had to jump through hoops to give you the first look. Google is now closer to releasing the feature to the masses, as the Google app's Images tab has started rolling out to users. With Google app v16.23.71 beta, we can spot the new Images tab rolling out widely. When you launch the new Images tab in the Google app for the first time, you'll be asked to select at least three topics, like Fashion, Home Decor, Travel, etc. Selecting your interests will create your personalized image feed with publicly available images from Google Search. If you like an image, you long-press on it to share it, save it to your collection, or search it with Google Lens. You can also hide images from your feed. This feature is currently rolling out to beta users. Based on their feedback, Google will make tweaks and fix any bugs before deciding whether to release it to the public. Given the state of finish, we're optimistic about the feature rolling out to users in the stable branch soon. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Using an AI chatbot dulls thinking, neural scans show
People who use artificial intelligence chatbots to help them write risk losing their full powers of cognition, if brain scans carried out at Massachusetts Institute of Technology are anything to go by. After running electroencephalography (EEG) scans to assess "cognitive load" on participants, researchers found AI users "consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic and behavioral levels." Divided into three groups, the test subjects worked on essays either by themselves, with access to online search or by using large language model (LLM) AI assistance. "Cognitive activity scaled down in relation to external tool use," the MIT team found. Of the three groups, people who used tools such as ChatGPT "displayed the weakest connectivity" and struggled to recall or quote their work, the team said, writing up their findings in a 208-page journal paper. The "brain only" group "exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks," the tests showed, while participants who used search engines were found to be somewhere in between. Those who leaned on AI showed what the team described as "reduced alpha and beta connectivity" - findings that indicated "under-engagement" by brains using bots. In contrast, people who had to think through their assignment without leaning on AI demonstrated "higher memory recall" and the activation of certain parts of the brain, the team found. "While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs," they said, warning that the results "raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning." The findings follow the publication in April of a survey of over 300 "knowledge workers" by Microsoft, the maker of Copilot AI systems, in which respondents indicated "reductions in cognitive effort" while using chatbots. "Used improperly, technologies can and do result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved," the researchers warned. AI use at work has doubled over the past two years, according to a recently published Gallup survey. "27% of white-collar employees report frequently using AI at work, an increase of 12 percentage points since 2024," the pollster reported.
