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

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-15 11:41:34

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.

New Research Bolsters Freaky Theory That Earth Sits in a Giant Cosmic Void

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-15 11:45:55

Images of the cosmos, such as the James Webb Space Telescope’s deep space snapshot, make space look chock-full of stuff. In the grand scheme of things, it is, but all those stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial objects may not be as uniformly distributed as photos make them look. The fact is, space is likely peppered with bubbles of relative emptiness, and some astronomers believe we’re sitting inside of one. A growing body of evidence suggests that our entire Milky Way galaxy is locate

A Flustered Pam Bondi Tries to Explain Why a Minute Was Missing From the Epstein Jail Video

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-10-15 11:50:32

Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked by reporters Tuesday about Jeffrey Epstein, causing President Donald Trump, who was sitting near her at the White House, to become indignant that anyone was still asking about the sex offender who was found dead in a jail cell in 2019. Bondi gave a very confusing response about both her past comments on Epstein and a one-minute gap in the video released by the U.S. Department of Justice. But only after Trump berated the reporter for even asking about Epstein

What is AGI? Nobody agrees, and it’s tearing Microsoft and OpenAI apart.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-15 10:50:29

When is an AI system intelligent enough to be called artificial general intelligence (AGI)? According to one definition reportedly agreed upon by Microsoft and OpenAI, the answer lies in economics: When AI generates $100 billion in profits. This arbitrary profit-based benchmark for AGI perfectly captures the definitional chaos plaguing the AI industry. In fact, it may be impossible to create a universal definition of AGI, but few people with money on the line will admit it. Over this past year

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

theverge.com Elizabeth Lopatto 2025-10-15 11:30:00

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,

The secret to Samsung’s ultra-cheap success is its commitment to software updates. Like the rest of the Galaxy A series, the Galaxy A16 is set up for a full six years of support, carrying it right into the start of the 2030s. That works out to a per-update cost of around $30, better than the Galaxy A26’s per-update cost of $50 or the Galaxy S24 FE’s price of around $90 for each major patch.
