It's been more than a month since Switch 2 came out. As Nintendo's most expensive console, at $450, it has yet to see a price jump because of President Donald Trump's new tariffs, but that can still change. 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

Apple has updated its list of obsolete and vintage products with a variety of fresh additions (via MacRumors), including the 2013 Mac Pro, 2019 Macs, 2018 iPads, and more.

Behold the Closest Images of the Sun Ever Taken

On Christmas Eve of last year, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made spaceflight history, flying by the Sun at a record-setting distance of just 3.8 million miles (6.12 million kilometers) from the solar surface. During its flyby, Parker snapped some amazing close-up images of the Sun, which NASA finally released to the public yesterday. The images, captured by the probe’s Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe, or WISPR, present an extraordinary view of the Sun’s corona, buffeted by raging solar winds. T

China’s energy dominance in three charts

So while we all try to get our heads around what’s next for climate tech in the US and beyond, let’s look at just how dominant China is when it comes to clean energy, as documented in three charts. China is on an absolute tear installing wind and solar power. The country reached nearly 900 gigawatts of installed capacity for solar at the end of 2024, and the rapid pace of building has continued into this year. An additional 198 GW was installed between January and May, with 93 GW coming in May
