techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-05 08:16:00

A hot potato: Dbrand, the peripheral company with a long and often sweary history, has taken an iPhone 4-like approach to complaints that its popular Switch 2 case causes the Joy-Cons to detach easily. It says this only happens when people hold the new Switch the wrong way. Some users of Dbrand's Killswitch Switch 2 case have been complaining that it causes the console's Joy-Cons to detach too easily. The Switch 2 has a small gap between the body of the Joy-Cons and the main console. Nintendo

Everybody Needs to Calm Down About the Switch 2 Screen and ‘Ghosting’

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-06 04:38:36

My aging, stick drift-wracked original Switch was stacked with a library of games I honestly forgot I owned. The Switch 2, with its bigger, brighter display, has breathed new life into this backlog, and it has become my new excuse to revisit Hades and Kentucky Route Zero. A new batch of naysayers claim the screen isn’t worth playing your older 2D titles on due to reported ghosting issues, but the specs are much more complicated than any not-a-tweet post on X may imply.

Bitcoin briefly sinks below $99,000 as U.S. strikes on Iran trigger crypto market sell-off

Bitcoin fell to its lowest level since May over the weekend, as rising tensions in the Middle East and renewed inflation fears triggered a sharp selloff across digital assets. Bitcoin dropped below the $99,000 mark on Sunday — its lowest point in more than a month — and ether was more than 10% lower at one point, as the digital asset market became the first to react to escalating geopolitical risk.

A lot of mechanical keyboards struggle with aesthetics. It’s hard to get right! If the styling is overdone, you might inhibit functionality or just have too much going on visually. If you stick to the basics, you might end up with a bland keyboard. Whichever way you go, there’s still a chance you’ll get it wrong and have something that doesn’t look good.

2025 The Nintendo Switch 2 is currently the featherweight champion of gaming handhelds—though largely because nobody can enter its weight class.

TL;DR Samsung is “intensively analyzing” Google’s switch from Samsung to TSMC for Pixel chip production. The move apparently came as a “shock” to Samsung last month. TSMC is generally considered superior to Samsung when it comes to chip manufacturing.
