Lego Game Boy Hands-On: Nintendo Didn’t Need to Go This Hard

Nintendo invited me to a “holiday showcase” to play upcoming Switch 2 titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, Hades 2, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Kirby Air Riders, but the only thing I can’t stop thinking about is the Lego Game Boy that was on display at the entrance. Announced at SDCC 2025, the Game Boy set is even better in person than in online renders. The brick-sized handheld, which is made of 421 brick pieces, costs $50 and comes out on Oct. 1. As

The ‘Dan Da Dan’ Finale’s Best ‘Gundam’ Reference Keeps Us All in the Thrall of the Red Comet

There’s been a lot to love in Dan Da Dan‘s sophomore season, but the late arrival of the latest addition to Momo and Okarun’s oddball friend group, Kinta Sakata, has been a delight. Manga readers already knew that the character’s debut would herald some wild moments from the series being adapted, but one of the absolute highlights of seeing Kinta’s transition from page to screen as a huge mecha otaku is just how much the anime has completely embraced the character as a vehicle for Mobile Suit Gu

James Bond Wannabes: The UK's Spy Office Says Learn to Use a VPN

Like your martinis shaken, not stirred? If you have dreams of joining James Bond in the British foreign intelligence service, MI6, you'd better know how to use a virtual private network. On Friday, the outgoing chief of MI6, Richard Moore, announced a new dark web portal called Silent Courier that MI6 will use to recruit agents online. If you want to use it, make sure you're familiar with VPNs. Silent Courier marks MI6's first attempt to use the dark web for recruitment. The government statemen

An untidy history of AI across four books

The history of artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be separated entirely from the general development of technologies that go back to the ancient world. Like the abacus, the machines we today call AI reproduce and automate our formal and cognitive abilities, albeit at higher levels of generality. More officially, AI research began in the postwar era with the “symbolic” paradigm, which sought to program human faculties such as logic, knowledge, ontology, and semantics within software architecture

Intel Arc Celestial dGPU seems to be first casualty of Nvidia partnership

Moore's Law Is Dead has provided an update regarding the specs and release date of the Intel Arc B770, an upcoming high-end Battlemage GPU. In the aftermath of Intel's partnership with Nvidia, the leaker also claims that the next-gen Arc Celestial desktop GPU appears to have been canceled. 4 Reviews ← exclude selected types While we haven’t heard anything of substance regarding Intel’s high-end Arc Battlemage B770 desktop GPU for months now, the GPU is reportedly alive and coming this quarter.

Don’t Get Too Excited for That Nvidia and Intel Chip Just Yet

What’s the point of competition anymore? Nvidia may still be trying to make its own CPUs. Intel could have beefed up its Arc GPUs around the corner. But now the two U.S.-based chipmakers plan to make SoCs, or system-on-chips, combining each company’s specialty. While we’re all curious about what this means for the future of PCs, you’ll need to wait a good long while to see what form the new chips from the new Wonder Twins will take. Nvidia is effectively netting a $5 billion stake in Intel, a d

Pokemon TCG Pocket's Pack Points System Needs an Overhaul Yesterday

Pokemon TCG Pocket is more than a mobile game: It's a money-making machine. The virtual trading card app raked in more than $900 million in its first six months, eclipsing even Pokemon Go's revenue in the same post-release time span. As it turns out, fake Pokemon cards are just as much of a hot commodity as the real thing. People love ripping open card packs, hunting down ones with their favorite illustrations of fan-favorite Pokemon. It feels great to beat the odds by pulling an elaborately-in

Chipmaker Nvidia to invest $5bn in rival Intel

Chipmaker Nvidia to invest $5bn in rival Intel Intel's stock surged more than 25% on news of the deal, which could boost the once-dominant chipmaker. Shares in Nvidia rose roughly 3%.

The deal, announced on Thursday, will involve a partnership between the two American companies to make personal computer and data centre chips, as demand for AI continues to surge and compan

The Math of Catastrophe

In the 1960s, the Soviet climatologist and mathematician Mikhail Budyko set out to investigate the potential future of a planet on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. He started by looking some 600 million years into the past. Back then, some scientists claimed, the ancient planet was an iced-over snowball. Most researchers considered that a crackpot theory. Ice over the equator? Please. But Budkyo developed a mathematical model to back it up. If sea ice had been able to expand past a critical lat

Intel says Arc GPUs will live on after Nvidia deal

In the future, Intel will make CPUs with Nvidia graphics inside — among other things , Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed today that Nvidia will contribute “GPU chiplets” that Intel can place alongside its x86 CPU cores instead of the Arc integrated graphics it develops in-house today. But, at least for now, Intel says that doesn’t mean Intel’s own graphics are going away. “We’re not discussing specific roadmaps at this time, but the collaboration is complementary to Intel’s roadmap and Intel wi

No One Knows What ‘Terminally Online’ Means Anymore

In the days following the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, there’s been a scramble to understand the politics of the situation. The effort to ascribe a specific political affiliation and motive to 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson—with President Donald Trump and his followers blaming “the radical left”—has led to serious investigation and scrutiny being applied to all the publicly available details of his life before, during, and after his alleged crime. In particular, there’s bee

Jensen Huang Wants You to Know He’s Getting a Lot Out of the ‘Fantastic’ Nvidia-Intel Deal

One of the world’s most valuable companies is throwing Intel a lifeline. Nvidia, which has a market cap of $4.3 trillion, said today that it will invest $5 billion in Intel, the struggling US chipmaker that was recently at the center of an unorthodox investment deal with the US government. Intel shares jumped more than 30 percent following the news. The two American chipmakers are also entering into a product collaboration.

I’ve Spent Thousands of Hours Testing the Best 3D Printers. There Are Some Clear Winners

What I like: I rarely find a product that impresses me, but the A1 Combo from Bambu Lab left me genuinely amazed with its performance and value. This 3D printer is excellent, with fast, quality printing at a great price. Adding the AMS Lite elevates it to the best printer you can buy right now. Plus, its four-color printing capability for less than $700 is such a good deal; I'm still baffled by how the company pulls off that pricing. The CNET test print from the Bambu Lab A1 is nearly perfect.

Nvidia, Intel to co-develop “multiple generations” of chips as part of $5 billion deal

In a major collaboration that would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago, Nvidia announced today that it was buying a total of $5 billion in Intel stock, giving Intel's competitor ownership of roughly 4 percent of the company.

"The companies will focus on seamlessly connecting NVIDIA and Intel architectures using NVIDIA NVLink," reads Nvi

Mysterious Object From Beyond Solar System May Be "Seed" Traveling Galaxy and Creating New Planets, Paper Finds

Astronomers have been fascinated after spotting an object earlier this year that came from interstellar space as is now hurtling through our inner solar system. Since then, they've been using powerful telescopes to study the mysterious object, trying to understand its unusual composition and exact origins. Most agree that it's probably a comet, albeit an unusual one, though at least one has posited that it could be a remnant of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization — a colorful claim, but o

CoPilot+ PC owners have a new perk in the pipeline. Your AI PC will soon perform Notepad's AI writing features on-device — no subscription required. The app's summarize, write and rewrite options were introduced earlier this year. Up to this point, you've needed a CoPilot Pro or Microsoft 365 subscription to use Notepad's AI writing tools.
