Nintendo Switch 2 Review: Price, Specs, Availability

wired.com Matt Kamen 2025-10-02 01:01:22

Switch 2: Switch Harder. Sure, that's a glib summation of one of the most eagerly anticipated games console launches of all time, but it is, nevertheless, apt. The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't the sort of generational leap PlayStations or Xboxes offer, but rather a refinement of what's worked for the last eight years. In short, it elevates, hones, and polishes almost every facet of the original Switch to deliver what is almost its ultimate form. The similarities are apparent from the moment you open

A Mattress Testing Expert Breaks Down Natural and Organic Certifications (2025)

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-10-02 01:32:00

As a professional mattress tester, I’ve seen an upward trend in the past few years of people looking into organic mattresses, toppers, and sheets. Whether it’s because of a renewed focus on what is truly “healthy” and toxin-free, or a concern over the use of fiberglass (I know we all remember that blowing up on TikTok), more brands are increasingly getting products certified. However, just because someone’s throwing on a label and using buzzwords like “natural” and “organic” doesn’t mean it’s t

To show off how easy it is for users to earn money by using his new chatbot platform, Pankaj Gupta offers to cash out $1 worth of Yupp credits, sending it to me over Venmo or PayPal. I’m talking with Gupta in the WIRED office during a prelaunch demo of Yupp, which comes out of stealth mode today. Journalistic ethics forbid accepting gifts from sources, so I politely decline.

Are Those Viral ‘Cooling Blankets’ for Real?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2025-10-02 02:00:00

If you spend much time on the internet, you will see the same things pop up again and again. For me, it's these “cooling blankets” that people talk about on social media. I mean, it sounds great for summer—just like a blanket that warms you up but in reverse. Sadly, these products don’t do what they claim. They might be breathable so they don’t make you as hot as an ordinary blanket would, but you’d still be cooler with no blanket at all. However, there is hope. Someone has created a real cooli

Dyson Has Killed Its Bizarre Zone Air-Purifying Headphones

wired.com Simon Lucas 2025-10-02 02:30:00

“No, this is not an elaborate April fool”. This is how WIRED first reported on the Dyson Zone at the end of March 2022. The Zone was a wild reimagining of an established product type—a big, bulky pair of headphones with an integrated air-purification mechanism that presented rather unfortunately like a high-tech gimp mask. A solution to a problem no consumer seemed willing to acknowledge existed in the first place. Worse was to follow. December 2022: “Dyson’s hellish-looking air-purifying heads

We’re still over a month away from the premiere of season three, but Paramount has announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is getting a fifth season — and that it will be its last. While Strange New Worlds’ first four seasons are (or will be) all ten episodes long, the fifth will run for just six.

App developers may need to issue patches to support the feature, and compatible vehicles have yet to be confirmed.
