Cheap gaming handhelds are about to lose their last affordability lifeline in the US

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-23 02:04:47

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR A new Executive Order ends the $800 duty-free limit for all commercial imports starting August 29. The move closes various shipping loopholes used to avoid earlier China-specific tariffs. Prices for budget gaming handhelds and other devices shipped after the deadline may face steep duties. Remember when we said cheap gaming handhelds were about to get more expensive in the US? Well, it’s worse than we thought, and it’s happening soon. A new Executive

Elon Musk Is So Unpopular, He May Be Hurting the Entire EV Industry

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-12-23 11:20:18

Elon Musk’s increasingly controversial reputation among U.S. liberals has become so polarizing that it’s turning some away not just from Tesla, but from electric vehicles altogether. A new study published this week in the journal Nature examined whether perceptions of Musk have made Teslas more polarizing than other EVs. The researchers conducted a series of surveys starting in November 2023 up until March 2025. In each, participants were asked whether they would consider purchasing either a Te

A new, faster-paced game mode is coming to Apex Legends on August 5

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-24 11:00:48

The next season of Apex Legends kicks off on August 5, and it will see the arrival of a new, permanent game mode. Respawn says it built Wildcard as a faster-paced alternative to the core battle royale mode. For instance, when you take out an enemy, they won't leave behind a death box. Instead, their loot will scatter around them, making it easier for you to spot and pick up an item you need or want. Another big difference here is legend stacking.
