8BitDo’s Pro 3 is a super customizable controller that’s too limited on Switch 2

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-12-04 18:00:00

As far as I’m concerned, 8BitDo’s Pro 3 is the ultimate controller. You may already know that it makes a model literally called the Ultimate controller, but it plays second fiddle to the new Pro 3 in some key ways. It’s highly customizable, allowing you to change the face buttons, joystick caps, and more. Let me explain: like most other 8BitDo controllers, it’s made to work on multiple platforms, but the Pro 3’s swappable ABXY face buttons allow it to actually transform as needed, say, if you’r

TL;DR Samsung recently compared its approach to smart wearables with Chinese fitness devices, claiming it focuses on “high quality.” It said that Chinese smartwatches offer seven to ten days of battery backup because they offer low-power components. Samsung, on the other hand, is focusing on accurate health measurement systems that are already being tested for the next two generations of the Galaxy Watch.

Next Year’s MacBook Pro Refresh Could Fix the Screen’s Ugliest Feature

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-07 04:10:55

Ever since Apple released its iPhone 14 Pro in 2022, Apple has had the answer to the absolute worst element of today’s MacBook displays. And still, the dreaded “notch” remained. The notch that hangs just below the top screen bezel, encompassing the webcam cutout, is like a stalactite hanging precariously above the main screen. The next MacBook Pro refresh could finally see Apple break out its chisel to remove the notch as it gears up for its most important laptop refresh of the last half-decade.
