I Ordered a Switch 2 From Verizon. It Didn't Go Well

Back on June 5, the Switch 2's launch day, I wrote about Belkin's new accessories for Nintendo's latest game console. I noted I hadn't tried the Belkin accessories yet with my Switch 2; I ordered my console from Verizon, and it wasn't scheduled to arrive until the following day. My Switch 2 didn't arrive on June 6. Or the day after. Or a week later. Or ever. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened: Verizon, a company that you don't typically associate with selling game consoles

NYC proposes 5 percent raise for rideshare drivers in a bid to appease Uber and Lyft

engadget.com Unknown 2026-04-02 23:00:11

New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) have settled on new minimum-wage rules for rideshare drivers, Bloomberg reports. Drivers will receive a five percent raise under the new proposal, a compromise to keep Uber and Lyft from locking drivers out of their apps. The proposal needs to be voted on by the TLC's board of commissioners before it goes into effect, but assuming it does, it'll end months of uncertainty for drivers working in the city. Uber began sporadically locking drivers

A shark scientist reflects on Jaws at 50

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-04-03 10:50:32

If you've been in the ocean, there's been a shark not that far from you, and it knew you were there, and you probably had no idea it was there and had a pleasant day in the water. The sharks that do bite people, they take a little bite and they go, what is that? And swim away. That can be real bad if it hits a major artery or if you're far from shore. Again, I don't want to minimize the real harm. But it is not a shark hunting you because it has a taste for human flesh. They don't have hands. Th

How to Convert an Analog Bike to an Electric Bike (2025)

Say you want to get a bicycle up and down hills with a minimal amount of pedal power. What do you do? The first option is simple: buy an electric bike. However, ebikes aren’t cheap. These days, the least expensive but still reliable ebike you can buy is Aventon Soltera 2.5, which costs around $1,200.

Pipelined State Machine Corruption

There are a number of network protocols that we might refer to as text protocols, where we send a line of text to the server and it sends back a response. Perhaps I should call them CRLF protocols, to distinguish from protocols where we’re blasting JSON back and forth. To speed things up, it can be tempting to have the client send multiple requests without waiting for individual responses. This is called pipelining. Support varies by protocol.
