oh uh how can I help you oh you're
looking for Tech news yeah sure that's uh that's in the other file one
second the upcoming Nintendo switch 2
might allow switch one consoles to be used as a controller and second display
in essentially the same way that the Wii U gamepad was used until Nintendo forced
the low selling console to commit Sudoku out of Shame uh Sudoku that is not the
right word I somebody's got this rumor comes from xasis who has provided some
Fairly reliable leaked info in the past but if you still think it sounds a
little too out there consider that Nintendo's tried this using previous
consoles as controllers thing multiple times you could use a 2DS or a 3DS as a
controller for Super Smash Bros for Wii U if you had the 3DS version of the game
and Nintendo released an attachment and a cable that let you use a Game Boy
Advance as a controller to play Game Boy games on the GameCube gaming Gamers gam
gam games entirely we'll have to wait to
see whether this leak is as legit as the
virtual game card system Nintendo officially announced at their direct
this week which basically lets you treat digital games like physical game cards
sort of the feature will let you eject a digital game and then digitally load it
on another console that you're also signed in on and then you can also lend
your games to members of your family group for 14 days while it's not nearly
as flexible as the game sharing features on say steam it's a whole lot better
than Nintendo not letting you share games at all and then suing you for
tweeting a Mario picture if you ask regardless the switch 2 is probably
going to sell like hot cakes and at least one large US retailer has told
Insider gaming they're worried about not having enough switch to stock at launch
me I'm not worried about that I'm worried about the Legend of Zelda movie
that Nintendo confirmed is coming out on March 26th 2027 starring Chris Pratt as
link that's a joke hopefully what would
he even sound like Chris will just do the Mario voice again hey I got to save
another princess looks kind of the same to be honest reviews are up for the
laptop version of NVIDIA's RTX 590 GPU
and even if you don't like that it's called a 90 despite having less than
half the cores of the desktop version reviewers including PC mag have
confirmed it's the new fastest mobile
GPU I thought if AMD sold enough 970 XTS
it would make that not true but here we are yeah despite team Red's mid-ranger
knocking its launch out of the park people are still telling their moms to
buy the green ones German retailer
alternate was even briefly selling one of the defective RTX 590s with a lower
amount of Roop units for the truly desperate and while initial reports this
week of shelves at Micro Center being filled with unsold 90 stock kind of made
it seem like Gamers were finally Drawing the Line at paying
$3,719 for a graphics card turns out
those cards sold out too Gamers what are we doing what would gamer gam gam think
Google has apparently solved the component quality issue that caused the
company to delay the launch of its mid-range pixel 9A smartphone directly
after officially revealing it this is for you but not right now Google has now
confirmed release dates for the phone which will launch on April 10th in the
US Canada and the UK April 14th in much
of Europe April 16th in some Asian countries except Japan don't ask when
Google literally can't even think about Japan right now I'm so busy as for why
they delayed the release in a statement given to press Google started right out
with rumors and speculation regarding this delay are false uh okay uh we
didn't say anything they are false jeez
unless you speculated that the 9A was delayed due to a passive component not
meeting Google's rigorous quality standards for device longevity and so
Google just wanted to fix the small number of affected units I mean if you
guess that then then fine I guess I'll tell you about our sponsor now charge
they make stuff that charges your devices but their new dis plus is a
pocket sized m.2 SSD enclosure uh you
okay charge what are you doing turns out it actually makes sense because not only
can the dis plus reach read right speeds of 10 gbits per second with its built-in
data cable you can pass power through its two USBC ports to bride charging and
storage at the same time What and they
gave it a super thin and light aluminum minimalist design with an optional
magnetic ring Mount you're going to have to check out the charge disc Plus at the
link below oh oh you you want the quick bits
now okay those are way in the back one
sec what am I doing YouTube says they're
running a small test where they're turning off notifications for channels a
user is subscribed to if the user hasn't
recently interacted with with that Channel's notifications now that may
sound very dumb to you but the problem
is sometimes people don't manage their own channel specific notifications and
then they're like oh why am I getting so many YouTube notifications and then they
go and they turn off all notifications from the YouTube app entirely and then
YouTube has to tell investors that you're not engaging see where they're
coming from YouTube has to protect you from yourself not protecting YouTube
YouTube says channels that upload infrequently won't be affected so don't
worry H bomber guy will be fine ASUS has
unveiled its first AMD b580 motherboard
with the company's 600 wat GC pwr
connector which is positioned in line with the top PCIe slot so compatible
gpus can slot in and receive power
without needing a flimsy cable like your gamer gam Gams PC from the 1950s the
board uses ASUS's BTF design which means means all the cables you do need are
plugged in to the back of the motherboard and it's also featuring the
company's updated Q release system to protect from repeated GPU insertions so
your card won't be damaged if you start every gaming session by pulling it out
and blowing on it it sometimes it helps meta had a great idea this week hey why
don't we add a new feed tab in Facebook
that only displays content posted by your friends the company says the
feature will bring the magic of friends back to Facebook because along with your
friends the magic has been taken a little bit of a break it's kind of
surreal to see Meta being like yeah we know we've been the ones destroying our
own platforms with AI slop but what if
you didn't have to deal with all of that garbage which we will continue to
encourage that's Innovation and shortly after open AI showed off chat gpt's
upgraded image generator people discovered it was particularly good at
creating and modifying images to look like stills from a Studio gibli film
jibli don't think so that's fun if you're one of those people though maybe
take a break because CEO Sam Alman says their gpus are melting so open AI is
adding temporary rate limits on image generation also anime image filters have
been around for a while and this one is making Studio gibli founder ha Miyazaki
cry please please come back for more Tech news on Monday or you'll make me
cry I won't let you see though unless you come back which will actually
prevent me from crying so Catch 22
