Nintendo kept its sales goal for the Switch 2 at 19 million units for the year ending March 2026. The company has already sold 17.37 million units. This makes the Switch 2 Nintendo’s fastest-selling console ever. On Tuesday, Nintendo shared great results for its third quarter ending December 31. Revenue jumped 86% to about $5.2 billion. Profit grew 24%. Both beat what experts predicted. This calmed fears that sales were slowing down after the June launch. https://x.com/Genki_JPN/status/2018577492240744659 Investors worried the Switch 2 might flop during the busy December holiday season. But it sold 7 million units in that quarter alone.…

“We’re not just pumping out a top model every year for no reason,” he said in a YouTube video. The company wants to focus on improving current phones like the Phone (3) with updates. This smart move avoids higher costs from pricey parts like RAM. https://x.com/rockleaks/status/2016935415266324744 This means no upgrade to the high-end Phone (3). Instead, Nothing will focus on making the current Phone (3) better with software updates. Why? Parts like RAM cost more now. Pei talked about this price hike before. Skipping a new flagship lets the team improve what they have. Good news: New mid-range phones coming…

Sony has received a new US patent for a PlayStation controller that mostly uses a touchscreen instead of physical buttons. https://x.com/charlieINTEL/status/2018323318596644980 This controller would let players place and resize on-screen buttons anywhere on its surface, so they can set up the controls in a way that feels most comfortable for them. The patent suggests this could help with different hand sizes, accessibility needs, and different game types, because the layout would not be fixed like current controllers. The touchscreen would replace the usual D-pad, face buttons, and possibly even thumbsticks, turning them into virtual buttons that you can move around.…

Quantum computers are coming soon and could break today’s locks on secret data. But most companies aren’t ready. Nine out of ten businesses have no plan to switch to quantum-safe locks. These machines might crack common codes like RSA in 10-20 years, says the U.S. government. But the danger starts now. Data that is locked today can be collected now and unlocked later when quantum computers become powerful enough. https://x.com/Akinloyejosiah/status/2018278609161424949 This “grab now, unlock later” method is mostly a risk for information that needs to stay safe for many years, such as bank details, company secrets, or smart devices that…

ASRock motherboards are now becoming the reason behind Ryzen 5 9600X CPUs to fail completely, with four new cases reported on Reddit in just two weeks. All these stories describe the exact same issue: a Ryzen 5 9600X processor paired with an ASRock board that suddenly stops working. https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuild/comments/1qt5wlq/asrock_motherboards_are_now_killing_ryzen_5_9600x/ In these reports, the computers work normally at first, and then they cannot be booted without any clear reason. Many users notice the lights for DRAM or CPU staying on steadily, and they try some normal fixes which every single person tries but that do not work, such as reseating the…

Apple just released the new AirTag 2. It costs the same as the old one: $29 for one tag or $99 for four. The old AirTags are still on sale at lower prices, like $28 each or $79 for a pack of four at Best Buy. Both help you find lost keys, bags, or wallets using your iPhone. But the AirTag 2 has some nice upgrades. Let’s compare them step by step. Both AirTags look exactly the same from the outside. https://x.com/wasimanjum/status/2016702302288314658 They’re small, round, and white. They fit in the same holders or keychains you already have. The only…

Big TV companies are slowly stopping 8K TVs because most people don’t really need them. They say 4K TVs are good enough for everyday viewing. Very few people buy 8K TVs, and there are almost no movies or shows made in 8K. LG Display has stopped making 8K screens for both LCD and OLED TVs because sales were very low. LG will also not make more units of its last 8K TV, the 2024 QNED99T. Other brands have done the same. TCL stopped making 8K TVs in 2023 because customers were not buying them. Sony’s 8K TV lineup ended in…

XREAL just added an amazing feature to its top AR glasses, the One and One Pro. It changes any regular 2D video or game into fun 3D right away. No special apps, files, or extra tools needed! Called “Real 3D,” this started on the Xreal 1S glasses last week. Now it’s on the One models too, thanks to their smart X1 chip. The chip uses AI to guess depth in every picture frame. It then makes two views—one for each eye—so everything looks 3D and real. It works with anything: movies from your phone, games on a console, TV shows…

Lynx-R2 is a new VR headset from a French company called Lynx. It comes this summer. It has the widest view of any headset you can buy. The view is 126 degrees side-to-side and 103 degrees up-and-down. That’s bigger than most others. No need for a phone or PC—it works alone.    https://twitter.com/higgsfield_ai/status/2016138211719053472 It uses a fast chip from Qualcomm called XR2 Gen 2, plus 16GB of memory. Like Meta Quest 3 or Pico 4 Ultra. Screens are sharp: 2312×2160 pixels each eye. These cheap screens ($30 each) were made for Meta’s canceled Quest 4. Special pancake lenses from partner…

New leaks show Android 17 will get a fresh look with see-through, frosted-glass effects, copying Apple’s iOS 26 style called Liquid Glass. Pictures from leaker MysticLeaks (shared then deleted on Telegram) reveal blurry backgrounds everywhere. https://x.com/pixeluibygoogle/status/2015901551437791335 This covers things like the notification panel, quick settings, power menu, volume control, and app shortcuts. Instead of solid colors taken from your wallpaper, everything now uses soft, blurry effects, similar to frosted glass. A floating button will handle audio and mic controls, ditching old pop-ups. The screen recorder now lets you draw on videos and preview them before sharing. Notifications and quick settings…

Google DeepMind has created AlphaGenome, an AI system that can understand the hidden parts of human DNA. About 3 billion letters make up human DNA.—A, C, G, and T. Only about 2% of this DNA directly makes proteins that keep us alive. Scientists already know a lot about this small part. The remaining 98% is often called the “dark genome.” It does not make proteins, but it controls when, where, and how genes turn on or off. This part of DNA is much harder to understand, but it plays a big role in health and disease. https://twitter.com/GoogleDeepMind/status/2016542480955535475 AlphaGenome helps scientists…

Britain is losing more jobs than it creates due to artificial intelligence, outpacing rival large economies like the US, Japan, Germany, and Australia, according to Morgan Stanley research. UK companies reported an 8% net job loss from AI over the past year—the highest rate surveyed—amid rising productivity but squeezed hiring. https://twitter.com/WorldByWolf/status/2015740988287750492 The study, surveying firms using AI for at least a year in consumer staples, retail, real estate, transport, healthcare equipment, and cars, found British businesses gained 11.5% productivity from AI. US firms saw similar boosts but net job gains, highlighting the UK’s unique vulnerability. Rising costs, higher taxes, increases…

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is a high-end smartphone. It competes directly with Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra and Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max. It uses a very fast Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Reviews are very positive, with scores above 90%, which means people think it performs extremely well. You can buy the base version with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage from China for a little over $1,000 on Trading Shenzhen. That’s cheaper than the last model’s $1,345 price. A worldwide version might launch in March at Mobile World Congress, but Xiaomi hasn’t said yes yet. When you open the…

Elon Musk says internet access is the top way to help people escape poverty. It gives free knowledge, skills, and ways to make money worldwide. He shared a video on X from user XFreeze. The video shows how the internet changes lives in far-off, poor places. Musk links this to SpaceX’s big lead in space work. https://twitter.com/XFreeze/status/2015067284205916553 In the video, Musk says SpaceX rules space launches. This year, SpaceX sent about 90% of all heavy cargo into space. It also controls around 80% of the active satellites in orbit. Because of this, Starlink can provide fast and low-cost internet to…

President Trump, who is 79, again shared his strange idea of buying Greenland. This time, he used a funny AI-made picture posted on the White House’s X account. https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/2014819683757678654 The picture shows Trump walking on ice toward Greenland, with a penguin holding a US flag. But penguins live in the southern part of the world, not near Greenland in the north. Even more oddly, the penguin’s footprints look the same as Trump’s, which does not make sense. This post was shared just after Trump stepped back from his earlier strong threats. Trump pushed hard for Greenland before the Davos meeting.…

Big US companies like Pinterest and Airbnb are picking Chinese AI tools because they’re better, cheaper, and easy to tweak. https://twitter.com/D162Michele/status/2014857309302788367 Pinterest uses China’s DeepSeek R-1 (launched January 2025) and Alibaba’s Qwen to make smart shopping suggestions. Boss Bill Ready says this “DeepSeek moment” started a boom in free-to-use AI. Tech head Matt Madrigal adds these tools are 30% more accurate and cost up to 90% less than US ones like ChatGPT from OpenAI. It’s not only Pinterest. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says he likes Qwen for helping customers because it is good, fast, and low-cost. On Hugging Face—a website…

Microsoft just released Rho-alpha, a smart new AI model for robots. It’s built from their Phi series, which handles seeing, understanding words, and now acting in the real world. Robots used to work only in factories with fixed jobs. Now, with “Physical AI,” they can team up with people in messy, everyday places like homes or offices. This is like how ChatGPT changed writing—Rho-alpha will change robots. Rho-alpha turns simple spoken or typed commands into robot movements. It controls two-armed robots or human-like ones for tasks like picking up objects with both hands. What’s special? It feels touch (tactile sensing)…

A trusted tipster named “Ice Universe” says the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will have a Dynamic Island that’s 35% narrower. It will measure about 13.5mm wide, down from 20.7mm on the iPhone 17 Pro. https://twitter.com/MacRumors/status/2014570655312998762 He shared a picture on X to show how it looks. Apple will show these phones in September 2026. Apple is only hiding one part of Face ID under the screen—the flood illuminator. This lets them shrink the pill-shaped black cutout but not remove it fully. Earlier news thought the whole Face ID would go under-screen, leaving just a tiny hole for the…

Good news for phone fans! Samsung’s new Galaxy S26 series, including the top model S26 Ultra, has a clear launch plan. You can pre-order from February 26 to March 4. Then comes a short “pre-sale” from March 5 to 10. The phones go on sale to everyone on March 11. This info comes from a trusted leak by Ice Universe. https://twitter.com/UniverseIce/status/2013951595541913988 Other sites like SamMobile and News1 Korea agree. It’s mainly for South Korea, but it matches plans worldwide. Samsung skipped March 13 because some people think Friday the 13th is bad luck, especially in the West. So, they picked…
