Modder adds over an hour of Switch 2 runtime by dropping in a bigger battery pack

techspot.com Kishalaya Kundu 2025-09-30 21:31:00

In a nutshell: The Nintendo Switch 2 debuted earlier this year to a warm reception from both reviewers and gamers. However, battery life remains one of its few weaknesses, a limitation carried over from the first-generation model. A modder has now attempted to address this issue by increasing the Switch 2's battery capacity from 5,220 mAh to 8,000 mAh. The mod comes courtesy of YouTuber Naga, who pried open a Switch 2 and installed a larger 8,000 mAh battery in place of the factory-fitted 5,220

Xiaomi’s next flagship smartphone series will launch this month, but there’s one thing you won’t see — the Xiaomi 16 series. Xiaomi president Lu Weibing announced on Weibo that the

Read to Forget 05 Jul, 2025 I read to forget. Even when studying or working on papers for a PhD, I approach texts with the same mindset: I'm not a storage device that needs to save all bits of information. I am more of a system of Bayesian beliefs, constantly evolving and updating in small, incremental steps. I remember co-workers highlighting large chunks of text, sometimes 40%.

Which colours dominate movie posters and why?

news.ycombinator.com Stephen Follows 2025-09-30 22:43:26

Colour is one of the quickest ways a poster can tell you what kind of film it’s selling. Before you’ve read the title or registered the actors, your brain has already clocked the palette and filed it against a lifetime of genre expectations. Over the past century, marketing teams have shifted from painterly illustration to photography and from saturated Technicolor hues to today’s more controlled, strategic colour use. I wanted to take a data-led look at colours on movie posters, so I gather

The US has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, even though over the past four decades, it has fallen among younger couples. Instead, middle-aged and older adults have taken over.

Repetitive negative thinking associated with cognitive decline in older adults

Additionally, individuals aged 60 ~ 79 years, junior high school and above were more prone to suffer from cognitive impairment with a high RNT score.
