The Longchamp Le Pliage Green Shoulder Bag for $124 ($31 off) holds a lot without buckling under the weight. This version is made from recycled polyamide canvas that's made from old carpets and fishing nets. 📸: Longchamp wired.trib.al/PwOd3Nf 2/6

Forget hunting for a PlayStation 5. A desktop PC lets you play thousands of games on Steam, and glows in the dark while you're doing it. These are our WIRED recommendations. If you buy something using our links, WIRED may earn a commission. wired.trib.al/UBFwjO9 1/7
If you need something small and speedy, look no further than the MSI Trident X. The Trident is about the size of a standard game console, and despite its compactness, it’s a powerful gaming machine that can play most anything without trouble. wired.trib.al/Psl5tFB 📸: MSI 2/7
Embrace a smoother, more organic-looking exterior design with the Aurora R13. It’s a powerful gaming desktop, but it's also a conversation piece. Its smooth, rounded exterior makes it look like a big speaker or air purifier in the best way. wired.trib.al/QvhIE4m 📸: Dell 3/7

In this WIRED exclusive, the president of Ukraine @ZelenskyyUa discusses what Big Tech can do to open the flow of information in Russia, Elon Musk’s Starlink system, and why modern leaders have to appeal to the distracted social media generation. 1/14 wired.trib.al/yOxptLK
How do you hold an audience known for having a short attention span?

"People won’t stay with something uninteresting. People won’t abide something deceitful; people won’t abide dictators. If you talk to them honestly, truthfully, openly then you will connect with people." 2/14
You have called on companies to cut ties in Russia. Are they doing enough?

"Sanctions are in effect now, so many Russian military factories are not working at the moment. They will not be able to build some equipment because of these sanctions. We are very happy with that." 3/14

In the newest edition of WIRED, Jennifer Kahn meets actor, writer and director @TaikaWaititi. Known for his eccentric style, oddball comedy, and subversion of the superhero beat—he's really just a man “trying to not do whatever the grown-ups say.” wired.trib.al/dhC6q41 1/14
He grew up in New Zealand and spent his 30s making small, cultishly popular films. Two of these, ‘Boy’ and ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’, featured primarily Maori characters and actors—and felt like radical creations. 📸: @choutoo 2/14 Image
In the six years since ‘Wilderpeople’, his career has gone vertical. In 2016, he made ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, reinvigorating the stale franchise by poking fun at it. Then he wrote, directed, and starred in the Oscar-winning ‘Jojo Rabbit’. And that’s just for appetizers. 3/14

Use this long weekend to rest, relax, and save. There are some great #MemorialDaySales on the gear WIRED reviewers recommend. If you buy something using the link below, we may earn a commission. This helps support our journalism. wired.trib.al/vAGtei1 1/6
The GoPro Hero 10 Black is our favorite action camera. Paying $400 for it alone is a good deal that saves you about $50, but this bundle adds even more value: It includes a spare battery and a charger. 📸: GoPro wired.trib.al/BpONPuJ 2/6 Image
This video game is a holdover from last week that's worth mentioning again. Folks feel very strongly about Elden Ring (PS4/5) for $50 ($10 off). You either love it or hate it This is the first discount we've tracked for the popular title. wired.trib.al/KwwxJWA 📸: Amazon 3/6 Image

Whether you're a kayaker, climber, griller, or someone who just loves to sit on a camp chair and bask in the sun, these #MemorialDaySales have something for you. If you buy something using our links, WIRED may earn a commission. wired.trib.al/Dyl20Q7 1/8
Part grill, part fire pit, the BioLite burns wood and charcoal and packs down surprisingly small when you want to throw it in the trunk and hit the road. Plus it features a built-in battery that can double as a phone charger in a pinch. wired.trib.al/Dyl20Q7 📸: BioElite 2/8
Sometimes big adventures require a tent with a little more room, and the MSR Habitude 6-Person Tent fits the bill. wired.trib.al/Dyl20Q7📸: MSR 3/8
