    Nintendo Switch 2 update adds one possible fix for blurry OG Switch games

    I wonder if you bothered reading the article... ? Actually, I don't wonder because the answer to your question is discussed at length in the article and you still asked it.

    Here’s what Cities: Skylines 2’s new developer is updating first

    As someone that was thoroughly disappointed with the release, I'm so glad that this is happening. CO was trying their best, but they were not doing a great job. Realistically, the game should've been delayed by 2+ years, but then how would have Paradox made all that money off of us suckers that...

    AT&T falsely promised “everyone” a free iPhone, ad-industry board rules

    AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile need to be broken up. All three are abusing their market privileges and they keep getting slaps on the wrist instead of actual punishment.

    Boring Company cited for almost 800 environmental violations in Las Vegas

    Someone check my math, but they're reducing the fines from 0.0006% to 0.000049% of Elon Musk's ~$500,000,000,000 net worth?

    Verizon to offer $20 broadband in California to obtain merger approval

    What's the point of us breaking up AT&T if we just allow all the Baby Bells to keep merging with each other? With this merger, we would basically have three companies that used to be AT&T + 7 Baby Bells: AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen (aka CenturyLink).

    The Pixel Watch 4 might not become e-waste if you damage it

    I honestly don't know. My primary use case on them were audiobooks with ANC. I had the WF-1000XM3s and the batteries lasted just over a year. So I bought the then new WF-1000XM4s and, again, the batteries lasted just over a year. I even got a warranty refund on the XM4 from Sony because it was...

    The Pixel Watch 4 might not become e-waste if you damage it

    Honestly, Pixel Watches are bad on multiple levels. Repairability only being one. The other major flaw is the short battery life. Smart watches need more than a 24, 36, or even 48 hour battery life before they can truly become mainstream imho. I bought a Pixel Watch 2 when it was released, but...

    The Pixel Watch 4 might not become e-waste if you damage it

    I went through 3 different pairs of Sony wireless earbuds before realizing that I was paying a premium price for a product that lasts only a year with moderate daily use. If you're buying WF-1000XM* series earbuds, you're essentially paying $300+ a year for disposable earbuds. That's absurd...

    Meta’s “AI superintelligence” effort sounds just like its failed “metaverse”

    Even if Meta achieves something novel, spectacular, or miraculous, I want nothing to do with them. They are just there to farm my data and use it for profit. I love the ideas of the Oculus and the Rayban Meta smart glasses, but Meta isn't getting my money for either. Meta has proven time and...
