Drag x Drive Proves the Switch 2's Mouse Mode Controls Are Fantastic

Nintendo's next summer title -- and one of the few new games for the Switch 2 soon after its June launch -- is the multiplayer wheelchair basketball game, Drag x Drive. It uses the console's new Joy-Con mouse controls to simulate moving the wheels of your chair (or vehicle, as it's referred to in-game) while playing short three-on-three matches. While it does take some getting used to, it shows off how well this new input mode works and harkens back to an era of motion-controlled gaming made pop

AssembleDebug / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out an updated overlay for the Gemini AI assistant with a more rounded design. The new interface features an animated circular entrance that expands into a pill-shaped form, complementing the rounded design to give the overlay a fun appearance. We previously spotted these changes, and they are now appearing for some users. Google has been making great progress with Gemini, to the point that it stands on par with its competitors. Its d

I tested Preferred Sources, and it’s one of the best Google Search features in years

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-27 23:00:44

Joe Maring / Android Authority When we talk about Google Search in 2025, it’s usually not for a good reason. AI Overviews are more prevalent than ever, despite still not being particularly good. Google widely rolled out (the very flawed) AI Mode to users in May, and the traditional Google Search experience remains cluttered with ads and low-quality results. This has made me (understandably) hesitant when Google launches a new feature for Search, but the company’s latest one — Preferred Sources

Galileo’s telescopes: Seeing is believing (2010)

Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was in a state of anxiety. In January, he had discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter. In March, he had published this and other remarkable discoveries made with his improved telescope in Sidereus Nuncius (‘The Starry Messenger’). But by the summer, he was becoming profoundly alarmed. He had offered philosophers and mathematicians in Venice, Padua, Florence, Pisa and Bologna the chance to look through his telescope and confirm his discoveries. S

Amazon's New Alexa AI Sounds Like a Dystopian Nightmare

But writer/director Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo) and his team also manage to push the franchise to new heights, delving into the philosophical questions that Ridley Scott's Prometheus and Alien Covenant couldn't fully explore.
