Trump first announced his plans for tariffs on April 2, the same day that the Switch 2 was revealed. The tariffs targeted two countries important to Nintendo: Japan, where the company is based, and Vietnam, where some of its products are manufactured. He did declare soon after the announceme

Earlier this week, xAI’s Grok chatbot went haywire, started praising Hitler, and had to be put in timeout. It was just the latest incident in what appears to be behind-the-scenes manipulation of the bot to make its responses “less woke.” Now it seems that developers are taking a simpler approach to manipulate Grok’s outputs: Checking out Elon Musk’s opinions before it provides a response.

Not only is the console itself difficult to repair, but a new iFixit teardown video shows that the Switch 2 Pro Controller isn't any easier. Based on iFixit's teardown, you have to completely disassemble the Switch 2 Pro Controller to access the parts you'll likely need to fix first.
