theverge.com Jacob Kastrenakes 2025-12-21 15:16:36

Fujifilm has raised prices on cameras and lenses across its lineup, with price hikes reaching into the hundreds of dollars.

And the already very expensive GFX100 II has gone from $7,499 to $8,299 — an $800 increase. Increases to lens prices appear to be somewhat more modest, with bumps in the $50 to $150 range.

Why Nintendo didn’t raise the price of the Switch 2 (yet)

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-12-21 20:00:00

Just about every piece of hardware that Nintendo sells is getting a little more expensive in the US — with the exception of the Switch 2. That includes all models of the original Switch, a bunch of accessories, and even a motion-activated alarm clock. The changes were made ahead of sweeping Trump administration tariffs that are scheduled to go into effect in August, and they show Nintendo is leaning on a strategy that it has employed across its business: largely avoiding risk.

El Salvador’s Crypto President Could Stay in Power for Decades After Changes to Constitution

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-12-22 00:50:12

El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly approved changes to the country’s constitution on Thursday that will extend presidential terms from five years to six and abolish term limits. That means President Nayib Bukele, a far-right crypto enthusiast who’s allied with President Donald Trump, could potentially stay in power for the rest of his natural life. First elected in 2019 on a promise to crack down on gangs, Bukele was supposed to be prohibited from running for re-election in 2024. But the countr

Generative AI is not just another tech hype cycle that is bound to die down but is instead a game-changer for human productivity, according to the Federal Reserve. The big caveat, though, is the road to get there will be “inherently slow” and “fraught with risk.” In a recent paper published by the Fed Board of Governors, researchers suggest that the hype around generative AI is probably not a bubble in the long run and that the technology will be a serious macroeconomic force, proving to have r
