In brief: It's official: the Switch 2 is the fastest-selling Nintendo game system ever. The hybrid handheld sold more than 3.5 million units in the four days following its global launch. Nintendo cited the improved hardware in its latest machine and the inclusion of Mario Kart World in some bundles as reasons for the success. There was little doubt that the Switch 2 was going to prove popular. The 3.5 million sales between June 5 and 8 are a testament to how well the company has managed to supp

Tech unemployment in the US climbs for fifth consecutive month to 5.5%, AI blamed for job losses

In brief: After we had some good news about the UK tech jobs market last week, a new report on the US equivalent doesn't paint such as a rosy picture. The unemployment rate among IT professionals rose to 5.5% in May, marking the fifth month in a row that it has exceeded the national US average. The report, from IT management consulting company Janco, states that the unemployment rate for IT pros in the United States jumped 0.9% from 4.6% in April to 5.5% in May.

Cybertruck Sales Are So Bad That We Gasped

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-18 19:18:51

There's little left for us to say that can further embarrass the Tesla Cybertruck, a vehicle that was supposed to be the culmination of Elon Musk's genius. And maybe this is what Musk's genius looks like. The luckless EV has faced eight recalls so far, and its trademark stainless steel panels, when they aren't flying off, have demonstrated that they're better at serving as a shiny canvas for spray paint than as the armor of an "apocalypse-proof" tank. But somehow, its already dire sales are no

Inside Amsterdam’s high-stakes experiment to create fair welfare AI

technologyreview.com Eileen Guo 2025-09-19 09:00:00

Finding a better way Every time an Amsterdam resident applies for benefits, a caseworker reviews the application for irregularities. If an application looks suspicious, it can be sent to the city’s investigations department—which could lead to a rejection, a request to correct paperwork errors, or a recommendation that the candidate receive less money. Investigations can also happen later, once benefits have been dispersed; the outcome may force recipients to pay back funds, and even push some

5 things I learned from revamping my smart home

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Recently, when I started renovating my home, I knew it was the perfect time to rebuild my smart home from scratch. I’ve been on the smart home bandwagon for years, but cobbling together IoT products is never the right approach. Some things work, some don’t, and some don’t work quite as well as you’d want them to. The best smart homes are the ones you never have to think about. Over the years, I’d pieced together a mix of gadgets, platforms that included Alexa

It would have been exceptionally easy for Nintendo to stick with an established formula for Mario Kart World. While the series has added a few crucial new features here and there since its Super NES debut, it has settled into an extremely comfortable groove since the 2014 release of Mario Kart 8 on the ill-fated Wii U. Since then, we've seen the franchise lean on nostalgia-rich DLC as it introduced a barely differentiated Switch port and a series of course-packed expansions rather than another d
