We tried asking not so nicely. The Switch 2 is coming out tomorrow, and I still haven't played on it yet. How am I supposed to wait any longer? Anyway, welcome to Techl. People worldwide are posting unboxing videos of their Nintendo Switch 2Os, and content creators like Sirloin and AllOut Gaming are live streaming games on Nintendo's hot new handheld. All I've seen so far is Cyberpunk 2077 and Mario Kart World. But with the console launching tomorrow, there's going to be a lot more coming. And for all of us who can look but not yet touch, here are some morsels to get you through the next couple of days or months as you fail to beat online scalpers. Well, there's this expanded list of games that will receive free performance boosting updates. Thanks, Nintendo. And this nugget that Fortnite will in fact support game chat and mouse controls. Eh, also the tidbit that Switch 2 can store up to 30,000 screenshots. 30,000, you say. Wow, that's going to be enough for me because the only time I ever take them is when I accidentally hit the button. But if you want to know my favorite part, that Switch 2 welcome tour that you have to pay for, it's only 100%able if you're playing on a 4K display and also pay for the Switch 2's USB camera and either a Pro Controller or Joy-Con 2 charging grip. At least you've probably already got a 4K TV if you can afford a Switch to. But what you probably don't have yet is AMD's RX9060 XT. Reviews are out and the news is mostly good. The 16 gig card is solid and offers a reasonable uplift in performance over its predecessor, but it looks like AMD has been trying to avoid comparisons to their 8 gig variant by not seeding it to most reviewers. You can check out our full review on LT of the 16 gig card um after complaining to Team Red. We did manage to get an 8 gig card, but it arrived less than 24 hours before the embargo lift. So, we can't tell you just how much performance is hindered even at 1080p due to the memory being cut in half. We feel that may have been AMD's plan all along. So, if you're shopping for one of these soon, maybe check out Brazilian reviews. They didn't have any trouble getting their hands on the 960 XT 8 gig.

Speaking of things that kind of suck, if you're still using Meta or Facebook, your privacy might as well be non-existent. Okay, bear with me here. Yandex, a sanctioned technology company from Russia, started embedding a tracking code into millions of websites that dean anonymizes visitors by bypassing core security and privacy protections on both the Android OS and web browser.
