The Morning After: The Verdict on Nintendo’s OLED Switch

If you wanted to own a Nintendo Switch, you probably have one now, unless you’re waiting for the long-rumored Pro model. Sadly, the OLED Switch, which we’ve put to the test here, isn’t the next-gen Nintendo console with 4K scaling we’ve been dreaming of.

It does, however, pack a larger and beautiful OLED display, better battery life (despite what appear to be the same internal parts), and a slightly more modern design. That means fewer glasses, a kickstand you could actually use, and a redesigned dock.

The bigger question is: who is it for? The original Switch and Lite are both cheaper and offer much of the same gaming experience – if you’re playing through a TV, it’s exactly the same.

For first-time users – or portable gamers – the OLED model looks more appealing. A bigger screen and better battery life are two advantages for mobile gamers. But is that enough for you to shell out $ 350, especially when we’re all waiting for Nintendo to announce a more notable console upgrade. Despite Nintendo’s initial refusal, a new console can’t be too far gone. The question for potential buyers of OLED switches is, how long before the next Nintendo console arrives?

He says it was “due to an error in the Twitch server configuration”.

Twitch has released an update on a massive hack that appears to have exposed the source code, streamer payout numbers, and other information. He said the data was exposed over the internet “due to an error in a Twitch server configuration change which a malicious third party subsequently accessed.” He added that his teams were working “urgently” to investigate the attack. The streaming site believes that no login information, including passwords, was exposed.

Yesterday, attackers said they stole “all of Twitch.tv”, including the site’s mobile, desktop and console Twitch clients. It also accessed proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services. All of this could make Twitch vulnerable to future attacks by letting potential hackers probe for weaknesses.

Mice aren’t sexy computer peripherals. But for those of us tied to computer screens, they’re often crucial. James Trew, while negotiating a pretty bad RSI, decided it was time to upgrade his setup and tested mice from some of the bigger companies, including Microsoft and Logitech. Its requirements were quite humble: an emphasis on ergonomics. But which mouse won?

He wants to ban private facial recognition databases like Clearview AI.

The European Parliament called on European Union lawmakers to ban automated facial recognition in public spaces and to enforce strict safeguards for police use of artificial intelligence.

MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) said citizens should only be watched when they are suspected of a crime. They raised concerns about algorithmic biases in AI and argued that human oversight and legal protections are needed to avoid discrimination.

MEPs also called on EU officials to ban private facial recognition databases (some law enforcement agencies in Europe use Clearview AI’s), as well as “behavioral data predictive policing”.

While you don’t get an explosive look for that $ 250 price tag, the specs, at least, look respectable for a cheap Android tablet, and HMD’s track record with Nokia phones has been pretty solid, delivering solid smartphones to fairly reasonable prices. The Nokia T20 is available today.

This includes highways, city streets, and virtually all paved rural roads.

Since General Motors introduced its Super Cruise driver assistance system in 2017, GM and Cadillac drivers have apparently driven more than 10 million kilometers without having their hands on the wheel.

With its next-generation hands-free system, Ultra Cruise, GM says it will “ultimately enable hands-free driving in 95% of all driving scenarios.” Ultra is designed to work virtually anywhere in the United States and Canada.
