Bitcoin Who? Wall Street Has a New Crypto Obsession

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-09-10 05:28:22

For over a decade, Bitcoin has been the undisputed face of digital finance. When you think “crypto,” you think Bitcoin. Its surges and crashes have been treated as bellwethers for the entire industry. This year, it even set new records, solidifying its reign. But for the past month, the crypto world hasn’t been talking about Bitcoin. The spotlight has been stolen by a company that most people have never heard of. While Bitcoin’s price reached an all-time high this spring, its dominance is bein

I Ordered a Switch 2 From Verizon. It Didn't Go Well

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-10 03:00:08

Back on June 5, the Switch 2's launch day, I wrote about Belkin's new accessories for Nintendo's latest game console. I noted I hadn't tried the Belkin accessories yet with my Switch 2; I ordered my console from Verizon, and it wasn't scheduled to arrive until the following day. My Switch 2 didn't arrive on June 6. Or the day after. Or a week later. Or ever. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened: Verizon, a company that you don't typically associate with selling game consoles

The best Apple Watch of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

An Apple Watch isn't just an accessory or an excuse for a second screen around your wrist. After a year of testing out the Apple Watch, I've found it to be a helpful sleep tracker, the world's most convenient timer for when my hands are dirty in the kitchen, a phone-free text or call receiver/sender, and an exercise motivator and mid-workout monitor. The Apple Watch started out as a sleek fitness tracker and has evolved into an essential companion for iPhone users. Apple's smartwatches have an

It doesn't matter if you're going to watch Sinners for the first or the 21st time, the Ryan Coogler-penned original film is worth all your time, and it's coming to Max next month. Rich in blues music, culture, metaphors and Southern gothic vibes, the vampire flick stars Michael B. Jordan as a pair of twin brothers -- Smoke and Stack -- who come back to their Mississippi hometown with big plans.

Samsung is trying to figure out why it lost Pixel 10 chip production, but we all know why

TL;DR Samsung is “intensively analyzing” Google’s switch from Samsung to TSMC for Pixel chip production. The move apparently came as a “shock” to Samsung last month. TSMC is generally considered superior to Samsung when it comes to chip manufacturing. Google has used Samsung to manufacture its Tensor smartphone chips since 2021, but the Pixel 10 series is widely tipped to be made by rival manufacturer TSMC.

Nintendo Switch 2 Review: The Ultimate Handheld and It’s Not Even Close

2025 After the massive flop that was the Wii U, consumers had every reason to believe the original Switch, released in 2017, would be yet another Nintendo gimmick that would push people to buy a PlayStation or Xbox instead. But the original $300 Switch’s handheld/console design, with its detachable Joy-Con controllers, proved to be a major hit with gamers of all ages. The handheld and TV-dockable game system was inventive and could be understood immediately. It felt like another Wii moment for

A False Start on the Road to an All-American Bitcoin

US president Donald Trump waited a beat to soak up the applause. In front of a baying crowd of bitcoiners at crypto conference Bitcoin 2024 in July, he had just laid out his plan to turn the US into the world’s undisputed bitcoin mining superpower. “I want it to be mined, minted, and made in the USA,” he told the audience. “You’re going to be very happy with me—you’re going to be so happy.” Since returning to the White House, Trump has largely followed through on his crypto-related pledges: He
