Although some companies had early access to the Switch 2’s specs to build accessories like cases and screen protectors, many had to wait until launch day to ensure their devices were compatible with the new console.

What a set of knockoff headphones taught me about headphones — and knockoffs

theverge.com David Pierce 2026-03-05 22:57:38

As a rule, you should never believe anything you see on social media. And you should really never believe anything someone says in a video with a TikTok Shop link, because they are nakedly trying to sell you something. From candy to headphones to supplements to power tools, TikTok has built a remarkable system: creators post videos promoting or reviewing products, TikTok blasts them onto For You pages everywhere, and when viewers click the link and buy the product, both the creators and TikTok g

The other feature will provide AI-driven insights about the planet. YouTube isn’t the only one celebrating its 20-year anniversary; Google Earth has been around for just as long.

This theory about Jony Ive’s AI hardware device seems increasingly likely

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-03-06 03:09:44

When Jony Ive and Sam Altman teased their upcoming AI hardware device, we noted how mysterious they were being about its form factor. While some were suggesting that it was a wearable, I said I felt pretty sure it wasn’t, and that’s now been confirmed by a court filing. A 9to5Mac reader last month made a plausible suggestion, and the latest development seems to me to add weight to the idea … What we knew before the court filing Both Ive and Altman had long made it clear their device wasn’t a

UK proposes greater regulation for Google's search practices

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-06 03:28:25

The UK might introduce new regulations for Google. The country's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has proposed designating the company's search services with "strategic market status" (SMS). In doing so, the regulatory body could direct Google to create fairer business rankings on search, for instance. The CMA launched an antitrust investigation into Google Search in January — its first probe under the UK's Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Act. Concerns include search ad

Of Course ML Has Monads (2011)

A popular meme in the world of PL’s is that “Haskell has monads”, with the implication that this is a distinctive feature of the language, separate from all others. While it is true that Haskell has popularized the use of monads as a program structuring device, the idea of a monad is not so much an issue of language design (apart from the ad hoc syntactic support provided by Haskell), but rather one of library design. After all, a monad is just one of a zillion signatures (type classes) with whi
