I regret buying my Switch 2. It's not the most amount of money I've ever wasted, and I imagine it'll probably seem worthwhile in a year or two, but I have not enjoyed its first year at all. The first year of the Switch 1 was incredible, probably the best ever for any console, but despite the Switch 2 having lots of first party games none of them worked for me. Mario Kart World is boring and nowhere near as good as the last one and I already know what Hyrule Warriors and Kirby Air Riders are like, from the previous games, so there's no way I'm getting them. Donkey Kong Bananza is…...

"Even if I turn off dictation I somehow hit the voice note thing The send button should not have multiple functions in the same spot." Bieber shared a screenshot…...

Samsung's next-generation folding phone holds the promise of an entirely new way to use our phones, one that can switch from the convenience of a small vertical display to the large canvas of a tablet screen in mere seconds. And while Huawei was the first to make such a device with its China-exclusive Mate XT, Samsung's model will have a greater impact on the industry and mobile culture because it's coming to the US " meaning the Korean tech titan will forever be remembered as the one to popularize folding phones, modernized flip phones, and tri-fold phones. Three for three. Not bad. In fact, we've already seen rumors of a competing model from Xiaomi in the wake of the Galaxy Z Trifold's…...

California Governor Gavin Newsom asked at a speaking event this week, capturing the unease that's rippling through an industry that has long prided itself on its free-market principles. You know, I have this long-term mission to continue to see Moore's law in the semiconductor industry," Gelsinger said, referencing the decades-old principle that computing power should double every two years. We think this is the technology that will wake up Moore's law." We've agreed in principle on the terms, but like any of these contracts, there's still work to get done," he said.

So what can we expect from the Motorola Razr 2026? Here's what I would like to see and what I think we'll likely get. Whether you like 'em or not, thin phones were all the rage in 2025.
