That Amazon listing for the Nintendo Switch 2 is likely fake - here's why

zdnet.com Taylor Clemons 2025-08-12 23:38:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's been about a month since the Nintendo Switch 2 debuted, breaking records by selling over 3.5 million units around the world in the first four days of availability. Even weeks after launch, restocks are hard to come by, as consoles sell out within minutes of the announcement. And with physical stock being so scarce, it's tempting to jump at the chance to get your hands on one when you see a listing on Amazon. But with such a high-demand item combined with a high-traffic oppo

You May Want to Buy a Nintendo Switch 2 Before Tariffs Drive Up the Price

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-08-13 03:41:34

Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and that means (unfortunately for everyone) potentially new and more draconian U.S. tariffs. In letters to 14 countries sent on Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to drastically hike tariffs by as much as 40% by the end of the month, which, for the record, marks a several-week extension of prior tariffs that were set to take effect on July 9.

In a perfect example of why it's an absolutely terrible idea for high-level government officials to use personal cell phones, text messaging platforms, and apps like Signal, secretary of state Marco Rubio has fallen victim to a scammer who's been using AI to clone his voice and writing style. As the Washington Post reports, a July 3 State Department cable revealed that an impostor posing as Rubio had "contacted at least five non-Department individuals, including three foreign ministers, a US go

Apple quietly dropped a new AI model on Hugging Face with an interesting twist.

The result is faster code generation, at a performance that rivals top open-source coding models. Here’s how it works.

Modern agentic architectures rely heavily on chaining LLM calls.
