If you'll recall, Nintendo looked for 10,000 participants for the first Playtest event last year to test an unnamed, mysterious Switch Online feature. The new program still only welcomes active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members, but as you'd expect, it now supports both the original Switch and the Switch 2. Interested p

On a grey November afternoon, clad in a borrowed—and somewhat smelly—fencing outfit, I spent two hours going through the basics of the aspiring duellist: saluting before putting on the protective mask, pinching the grip of the sword with the thumb and index finger, gliding back and forth while keeping the feet planted. But this wasn’t the kind of fencing you see at the Olympics—the dazzling speed of the athletes, electronic scoring, and seemingly nonsensical rules. The instructions came with a t

Following a limited test of the technology last year, Delta is planning to shift away from static ticket prices entirely after seeing “amazingly favorable” results. “We will have a price that’s available on that flight, on that time, to you, the individual,”

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in legal limbo. It was too weird to regulate, too volatile to trust, and too new for Washington to take seriously. That just changed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal law regulating stablecoins, digital currencies backed by the U.S. dollar. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk, where it’s expected to become law. Here’s what it means for you, your money, and the financial system around you.
