Elgato's new Game Capture 4K S is Switch 2 compatible

Elgato’s latest capture card supports 4K at 60 fps to capture rich in‑game imagery in all its glory. The Game Capture 4K S works with just about any modern console, PC or handheld gaming device, including the Switch 2. Retailing for $160, this is the CORSAIR subsidiary’s best value yet for capturing in 4K. Elgato's higher-end 4K X supports 4K capture at 144 fps but costs quite a bit more. Though a more affordable model, the 4K S doesn't skimp where it matters. The new capture card features zero

Tailscale says Zero Trust is broken, and that might be a good thing

Zero Trust has been a buzzword at every enterprise tech conference for years (only recently being replaced with AI), but Tailscale’s new State of Zero Trust 2025 report makes it clear that most organizations still have no idea what it means or how to do it. They surveyed 1,000 IT, security, and engineering leaders. Only 1% of those surveyed said they’re happy with their current access setup. That stat says a lot about the confusion in the marketplace.

Show HN: My GPU Fan Saga – A DIY ATX Fan Controller

Having a problem-solving mindset is incredibly valuable and rewarding, especially when it leads to exciting DIY adventures.

While many ready-made solutions exists, this project provided me with invaluable learning and immense satisfa

The best Apple AirTag accessories for 2025

Belkin’s Secure Holder with Strap is a good option: it comes in different colors and it’s budget friendly at only $13. The case opens up into two pieces, allowing you to sit the AirTag inside the circle and twist and snap the two

Elon Musk-Founded Brain Implant Startup Says It’s a ‘Disadvantaged’ Business Despite Being Worth $9 Billion

Elon Musk, the rightwing culture warrior waging a “civilization-saving” battle against the “woke mind virus,” apparently isn’t above taking advantage of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs when it serves his business purposes. Neuralink, the $9 billion brain implant startup that Musk founded, recently characterized itself as a “small disadvantaged business” in a federal filing with the Small Business Administration. The SBA website notes that Neuralink attested in its filings that i
