Nintendo’s Revitalized GameCube Controller for Switch 2 Is Somehow Better Than the Original

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-25 23:00:02

2025 Nostalgia should not be enough to give any tech a passing grade. But let me come clean. I wouldn’t have dropped $65 on the revitalized GameCube controller for Switch 2 if I hadn’t spent my preteen years beholden to Nintendo’s boxy console. With improved buttons, the new version is better than anything from 2001. After so many years, I’ve come to see the gamepad as a unique device that’s enhanced by its limitations. Instead, it’s constrained by Nintendo’s own restrictions on where and how y

Can These $900 ‘Recovery’ Boots From Nike and Hyperice Actually Help You Heal?

gizmodo.com Claire Maldarelli 2025-09-26 00:00:10

If you’re an athlete, then you remember all too well that the time between 2015 and 2020 was when recovery tools really took over. While hard to believe, there was, in fact, a time when a hard workout or a weekend long run didn’t end with a session in Normatec Legs or a bout with a massage gun. But in 2025, athletes of all ranges, from pro to amateur level, and in nearly every sport, have made recovery a key component of their training. In line with this notion are the novel tech and tools that

I Spent Weeks Using Orb: It's Unlike Any Internet Speed Test I've Ever Used Before

Internet speed tests aren't just for people who obsess over their internet connection. If you're having an inevitable home internet slowdown, my first recommendation is always to start with a speed test. In fact, I’ve tested and used dozens of internet speed tests -- the market is pretty saturated with them. Ideally, the best internet speed test is one that diagnoses your bandwidth blues as easily as possible -- no ads, no extra features you can’t make sense of and no slowing down your Wi-Fi. S

Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo Review: Not for Penetration

wired.com Amanda Chatel 2025-09-25 21:00:00

I've heard a decent amount about sex toy brand Hot Octopuss from my male friends, but it wasn’t until the Pulse Duo arrived on my doorstep that I had my first experience with its products. I was excited to give it a try because I love penis toys that both partners can enjoy. The Pulse Duo isn’t a cock ring—at least not in the traditional sense—it does help produce longer and stronger erections. More of a sleeve than a ring, the person with the penis wears the Pulse Duo while dry humping or gyra

How Democrats Are Meeting (and Missing) the Moment

“Well,” a senior Democratic strategist tells me, “my wife and I are having a fight about me going back to the field in the midterms.” “I would be lying if I said these aren’t conversations I’ve been having with my family every day,” shared a Democratic candidate in a high-profile battleground state midterms race.

Like it or not, large language models have quickly become embedded into our lives.

Some LLMs, though, might be releasing more planet-warming pollution than others, a new study finds.

Conserving Qubits by Using Dissipative VQAs for Thermal Prep
