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

techspot.com Kishalaya Kundu 2025-10-02 23:31:00

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

iPhone 17 might seem like the most boring model this year, but it’s a silent winner

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-03 17:40:00

Apple wrapped it its ‘Awe dropping’ launch event for the new iPhone models, Apple Watches, and AirPods Pro 3 yesterday. While the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro are much more interesting – I think the base model iPhone 17 will actually end up being a sleeper hit. Here’s why. iPhone 17 inherits the ‘Pro’ display experience In many ways, the iPhone 17 is an iPhone 16 Pro without a telephoto camera, but $300 cheaper. An iPhone 16 Pro 256GB would cost $1099, and now an iPhone 17 256GB costs just

Death to Type Classes

Death ( XIII ) Symbolizes significant change, transformation, and endings, rather than literal physical death. Have you ever seen a Number grazing in the fields? Or a Functor chirping in the trees? No? That’s because they’re LIES. LIES told by the bourgeoisie to keep common folk down. But I say NO, no longer shall we be kept down by deceit!

In a recent 3Blue1Brown video series on transformer models, Grant Sanderson posed a fascinating question: How can a relatively modest embedding space of 12,288 dimensions (GPT-3) accommodate millions of distinct real-world concepts? The answer lies at the intersection of high-dimensional geometry and a remarkable mathematical result known as the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma.

Scientists Working on "Smart Dust" That Can Spy on a Room While Drifting Throught the Air

In his 1963 scifi story "The Invincible," the Polish writer Stanisław Lem imagined an artificial species of free-floating nanobots which roamed the atmosphere of a far-off planet. Like tiny bugs, the microscopic beings were powerless alone, but together they could form cooperative swarms to gather energy, reproduce, and ultimately defend their territory from predators with deadly force.
