The Nintendo Switch 2 is not discounted for Prime Day. Just getting that out of the way. The fastest-selling console ever came out on June 5th, and only just hit Amazon’s storefront for reservation a couple of days ago. Nevertheless, I thought it’d be fun to share some Prime Day deals I found on Switch 2 accessories and games that have been patched to run better on the new console. Whether...
Razer’s new mouse looks much like the previous V3 Pro model, but with a lighter chassis and new tech inside.
Razer is announcing a new gaming mouse, the $169.99 DeathAdder V4 Pro. This fresh version of its popular wireless mouse promises to be faster, lighter, and yet more power efficient than its V3 Pro predecessor.

A Tesla Inc. robotaxi in Austin, Texas, US, on Sunday, June 22, 2025.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is eyeing San Francisco for his next robotaxi city — to which I say, good luck to you, sir.
Musk acknowledged that the company is still waiting on “regulatory approval,” which hints at the uphill company Tesla will face in pushing this process forward. (Get it? Uphill? San Francisco?)

Bluesky is adding age verification to its platform in the UK as part of efforts to comply with the country’s Online Safety Act. In an update on Thursday, the platform says it will let users verify their age by scanning their face, uploading an ID, or entering a payment card.

Hyundai just unveiled its second-ever performance EV, the Ioniq 6 N, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex, England. The new variant carries over a lot of what made the Ioniq 5 N so appealing, while adding a little more range and a little more giddyap.
But more importantly is a suite of features designed to mimic the best parts about high-performance vehicles, like shifting,...

The self-extending Dreame X40 Ultra robot vacuum / mop hybrid can also clean itself.
Keeping your floors clean feels like a second job, but it doesn’t have to. Robot vacuums that can both suck up and mop them can make life easier, although many models out there need a fair amount of babysitting to ensure they’re doing good work. The Dreame X40 Ultra is different. It delivers a nearly hands-...
On a balmy night in October 2019, the defector rode his bike home. He’d just finished a long shift helping waiters serve yogurt-smothered kabobs at a restaurant in Yalova, a seaside town an hour from Istanbul, Turkey. By this time of night, many of the shops had closed. Most of Yalova was home watching TV; traffic was sparse on the dimly lit streets. Before he defected, Mohammad Rezaie had...
