Nintendo launches another Switch Online test program for 40,000 players

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-22 02:30:53

Nintendo has posted a call for participants for another Playtest Program, and this time, it's looking for 40,000 testers and not just 10,000 like in the first one. If you'll recall, Nintendo looked for 10,000 participants for the first Playtest event last year to test an unnamed, mysterious Switch Online feature. The new program still only welcomes active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members, but as you'd expect, it now supports both the original Switch and the Switch 2. Interested p

East Asian aerosol cleanup has likely contributed to global warming

RAMIP simulations and recent emissions changes in East Asia We first document the emissions perturbation applied in the RAMIP baseline and East Asia simulations21 (see “Methods”), and compare them to the actual emissions reductions from the same region since around 2010. Briefly, RAMIP isolates the climate effects of aerosol emissions in one region by comparing two sets of transient emission simulations; one following a global, high emissions pathway (SSP3-7.0, which assumes weak air quality po

These ‘4K-Like’ AR Glasses Are Actually Only 1080p, but I Want Them All the Same

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-31 14:00:27

When it comes to gadget specs, it’s best to be precise. For example, if you were buying a TV, you may want to know the resolution, and if you showed up to Best Buy and the tag on your brand-spanking-new Sony said “kind of, sort of, 4K,” you’d probably have some questions. Same goes for AR glasses, in my opinion, but that didn’t stop Viture from slapping “4K-like” branding on all of its new frames. It also doesn’t stop me from wanting them all the same.

The first time I was almost fired from Apple

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-09 10:59:43

The First Time I Was Almost Fired From Apple 3 Jul 2025 Me at Apple in December, 1995. I was hired on at Apple in October of 1995. This was what I refer to as Apple’s circling the drain period. Maybe you remember all the doomsaying — speculation that Apple was going to be shuttering soon. It’s a little odd perhaps then that they were hiring at all but apparently Apple reasoned that they nonetheless needed another “graphics engineer” to work on the technology known as QuickdrawGX.

New Process Uses Microbes to Create Valuable Materials from Urine

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-23 20:43:41

Researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), UC Irvine, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), have used biology to convert human urine into a valuable product. The team genetically modified yeast to take the elements present in urine and create hydroxyapatite – a calcium and phosphorus-based mineral naturally produced by humans and other animals to build bones and teeth. Commercially manufactured hydroxyapatite is used in surgery and dentistry to

Show HN: Seastar – Build and dependency manager for C/C++ with Cargo's features

Seastar Seastar is a fast, extensible build system for C, C++, and maybe soon, Rust and Zig as well. I believe that it should be easy to make, prototype, and iterate upon designs. While C is still one of our most widely used languages, it makes it hard to create programs easily, especially for beginners. Instead, Seastar aims to be more like Rust's tooling with cargo , but supporting seamless compilation across more languages. Running Seastar is very simple to build and run. Assuming you have
