You can now easily buy a Switch 2 without jumping through hoops

theverge.com Brandt Ranj 2025-12-30 21:00:00

Perhaps we’ve been thinking the same thing, you and I. That there won’t be a long-standing drought of Nintendo Switch 2 availability after all. The console has been easy to buy online from several retailers this week, including Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Amazon, which didn’t sell the Switch 2 at launch, is currently selling it by invitation only. The console’s messy preorder process and spotty launch availability made it feel a little like late 2020 all over again, when the PlayStation 5, X

The sad state of font rendering on Linux

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-31 02:14:51

I spent the first 25 years of my life on Windows and therefore I am biased towards Windows font rendering with ClearType. I also agree with research which suggests that this rendering approach makes reading easier on the eyes. There are also some facts you can’t argue with, such as non-linear rendering without anti-ali
