Crusader Kings 3 Khans of the Steppe, which introduces new governments and regions to the grand strategy game, has struggled somewhat on Steam so far. A month after it was released, the expansion has a mixed rating from players, who cite some performance problems and balancing issues. But Paradox has a recovery plan.

Make the most delicious steak with this Best Steak Marinade and Steakhouse Butter. Make a restaurant style meal at home! Plus, learn how to grill a perfect steak!A FLAVORFUL MARINADE FOR GRILLED STEAK Sometimes steaks need a little extra love. Just a small boost of flavor. Sometimes its because its a cheaper cut of meat, sometimes its because there isnt a whole lot of fat on them (and fat = flavor!) and sometimes its because you love that additional seasoning! So, when that is the case, I break out my special marinade.I made this yesterday evening because sirloin steak was on sale. Didnt have thyme, so used fresh rosemary instead. My wife and I both loved it. The marinade really tenderizes the meat well. This one goes in the recipe rotation permanently. GeraldMARINADE INGREDIENTS: (FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE DOWN BELOW)extra virgin olive oil you can use your favorite oil here avocado oil and vegetable oil both work fine as well.red wine vinegar this adds great flavor and is much more mild that regular white vinegar but you can use white vinegar in a pinch.steak seasoning As you can see below, I used the Trader Joes 21 Seasoning Salute but go with your favorite.minced garlic I just used the squeeze garlic here but if you have fresh garlic on hand, that will always be best. Couldnt find any nice looking garlic at my grocery store on the day I photographed this recipe.kosher salt and pepperbone-in (or boneless) NY strip steaks now you can use this marinade for any cut of steak. I am just using NY Strips steaks here.HOW TO MAKE STEAK MARINADE:Measure all the ingredients into the ziploc bag. Seal the bag and squish all the ingredients around until combine.Place both steaks into the bag and smooth it down to get most of the air out. Squish the steaks around in the marinade to make sure they are both fully coated. Pop the sealed bag into the fridge to marinade overnight or for at least an hour. Scroll down below to see how to grill them.STEAKHOUSE GARLIC HERB BUTTER:This is just a bonus recipe on this post. I think steaks topped with a pat of this garlic herb butter after cooking adds incredible flavor so make it if you have time! It is full of fresh herbs and garlic. It not only works great on grilled steaks but its perfect for grilled chicken too! Just slice and put on top of a warm steak and it melts and then you can scoop up the flavor with each slice. So, so yummy!STEAKHOUSE BUTTER INGREDIENTS: (FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE DOWN BELOW)salted butter you need this softened to room temperature so that its easier to mix in the other ingredients.minced garlic used the jarred garlic again here. fresh chives I think the fresh herbs work best here. You could certainly use dried but you need less since the dried herbs are a bit stronger than their fresh counterpart. In this recipe you would use 2 teaspoons of dried chives. fresh rosemary (or thyme) If using dried rosemary or thyme, you would use one teaspoon for this recipe.lemon juice if you dont have lemon juice on hand just skip it.kosher salt and pepperHOW TO MAKE STEAKHOUSE BUTTER:Chop up the thyme leaves (not the stem part) and the chives. (I recently planted some herbs and have them in pots just outside my kitchen. This is one of the many things I love about spring and summer fresh herbs!)You want them diced finely.Mix together the softened butter with the fresh herbs.Add in minced garlic, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Stir really well.Add butter mixture (the professionals call this a compound butter) onto some plastic wrap.Wrap it up into a log. Then pop it into the fridge.HOW TO GRILL STEAK:First, I put about 100 charcoal briquets (I like Kingsford brand) into a chimney starter.You dont need any lighter fluid and it takes about 10-15 minutes forthe coals to get ready.Put a balled up piece of newspaper into the bottom of the chimney and then light the newspaper in several spots. The chimney and coals will do the rest. I have a half propane/half charcoal grill. So I use the gas side to light up my chimney. Once the fire reaches the top of the briquets, they are ready! This is a good time to prep your steaks. Take them out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature.Carefully pour the coals onto one side of the grill (this will create two zones: one for direct cooking and one for indirect cooking.)This two zone heating is perfect for any flareups (you can just move the meat over to get it off the high heat) but it also helps create those pretty grill marks!Time to put the steaks on! Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes each. Then place them onto the opposite side of the grill where you didnt place any coals.At this point, I take the temperature of the steaks. 145F degrees is a medium-cooked steak. If you like them more well-done, then allow them to cook over the indirect heat for a few more minutes until the desired temperature is reached.Take the steaks off the grill and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes. Pop a slice of your homemade steak butter on top and allow it to melt as the steak rests. Then serve it up with my favoritePotato Packetsand aCaesar Salad.CRAVING MORE RECIPES?Steakhouse Baked Sweet PotatoesBest Grilled RibsGrilled Balsamic Pork ChopsOutback Steakhouse Baked PotatoesSlow Cooker Garlic Butter Steak BitesHibachi SteakSteak Tips With PeppersThe Best Grilled Chicken MarinadeCrock Pot Baked BeansThe Best Potato Salad PrintThe Best Steak MarinadeTake your steak to another level.

Humane, a company founded by former Apple execs, launched the Ai Pin in late 2023. It was a wearable device built around AI, with voice interaction as the main way to control it. io, another company founded by former Apple execs, is expected to launch an AI-centric companion device in late 2026 that will run ChatGPT natively, also relying primarily on voice interaction.We dont have images of the first ChatGPT io device yet, and it might be a while before a prototype leaks, but reports have already surfaced. Based on what we've heard, the device sounds like another Ai Pin-style product. It won't attach to clothing, but it might be worn around the neck so ChatGPT can monitor your surroundings.Humane's dream unraveled quickly. HP bought the company for $116 million in early 2025, far less than the venture funding Humane had raised before launching the Ai Pin. The product flopped, and people returned it in droves. Those who didn't return it found their devices stopped working after HP took over.While the first ChatGPT io device might resemble the Humane Ai Pin, its unlikely to share its fate. Im genuinely excited for whats coming.What the screenless ChatGPT companion device will have to offerSam Altman called the io ChatGPT prototype that Jony Ive gave him "the coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen." Of course he would say that. He wants OpenAI to sell 100 million ChatGPT companions, so he needs all the hype he can get.Reports from The Wall Street Journal and insider Ming-Chi Kuo offer clues about this AI-first device. It wont be a wearable like smart glasses or clip onto clothes like the Ai Pin. Instead, its a screenless gadget that resembles the iPod nano.Kuo said the io ChatGPT device is slightly larger than an Ai Pin, but still compact and elegant like the iPod Shuffle. It might be worn around the neck while out and about, though its not intended to replace your primary gadgets.OpenAI sees it as the third core product you carry, after a MacBook Pro and iPhone.Interacting with the Humane Ai Pin display wasn't natural or easy. Image source: Chris Smith, BGRIn an internal meeting, Altman said that the ChatGPT device will be aware of the user's surroundings and daily life. It'll have a microphone, a speaker, and at least one camera, giving the AI the senses it needs. It'll likely connect to your phone and computer, with the ChatGPT app acting as the bridge to the cloud where the AI resides.All of this was true for the Humane Ai Pin, too. The difference? That device needed its own cellular plan and used a projector to create a virtual display and keyboard on your hand, which proved clunky.While the two products share a similar vision, the upcoming io device stands a better chance of success.The big Apple teamUnlike Humane, which raised under $350 million, io has major backing. OpenAI bought io for $6.5 billion, bringing Jony Ive & Co. directly into its fold. OpenAI believes the acquisition could add $1 trillion in value to the company.Owning io means OpenAI can pour billions into hardware R&D, with investors still eager to fund ChatGPTs development. Humane never had access to that kind of capital. And OpenAI isn't stopping at one gadget. This is just the beginning of a full AI device lineup.The team behind io is no mystery. We already know whos shaping the ChatGPT companion and future devices.Jony Ive co-founded io with several former Apple execs: Scott Cannon, Evans Hankey, and Tang Tan. Hankey succeeded Ive as Apples design chief before leaving in 2023. Tan, who led iPhone and Apple Watch design, exited in 2024.OpenAI's Sam Altman and Jony Ive. Image source: OpenAILoveFrom, another Ive venture, also includes former Apple designers like Bas Ording, Mike Matas, and Chris Wilson, who worked on Mac and iPhone software.These team details come from Bloombergs report on the OpenAI-io partnership.Meanwhile, Humane was started by former Apple couple Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, both of whom worked on key Apple OS features. The company also hired other Apple alumni.But the comparison ends there. io and LoveFrom bring decades of experience crafting premium products people actually want. I have no doubt the io hardware will far surpass the Ai Pin.Then theres the softwareThe AIIves teams will include software engineers with experience on beloved Apple products, but the real star of the io ChatGPT device will be ChatGPT itself. Thats where OpenAI comes in. ChatGPT remains the most popular and widely discussed AI, even as Googles Gemini improves.Again, theres no real comparison. Humane had a solid vision but lacked the firepower to bring it to life. OpenAI doesnt have that problem. ChatGPT may occasionally be slow or go offline, but its mostly reliable.The ChatGPT web app got a cleaner composer user interface. Image source: Chris Smith, BGRMore importantly, OpenAI is packing ChatGPT with new features to make it a top-tier virtual assistant.OpenAI is spending billions to develop smarter models and support its growing user base before it even turns a profit. You can bet itll invest heavily to make sure the io device just works.Humane never had that luxury. If it did, the Ai Pin might still be around, with improved hardware and software updates to match.Im not saying the io ChatGPT companion will be an instant hit. But it stands a much better shot at success than the Ai Pin ever did. And the fact that so many ex-Apple heavyweights are behind it only boosts my confidence in the product.Don't Miss: Here are the first details about ios upcoming screenless ChatGPT deviceThe post First ChatGPT device is like Humanes Ai Pin, but without being doomed appeared first on BGR.Today's Top DealsTodays deals: Heybike ALPHA, $299 Apple Watch Series 10, $90 23-piece cookware set, moreTodays deals: $150 AirPods 4 with ANC, $30 JBL speaker, $55 Ring Battery Doorbell, $279 Miele C1 vacuum, moreTodays deals: $299 iPad 11, $497 LG 65-inch smart TV, $30 Philips Sonicare toothbrush, $499 Traeger grill, moreTodays deals: $399 iPad mini, $188 Vizio surround sound, $32 Thermacell mosquito repeller, more
