The Switch 2 Pro controller is the best controller Nintendo has ever made – and that’s saying something. It’s incredibly comfortable to hold, its joysticks are buttery smooth, and all of its buttons are wonderfully responsive. Nintendo even made it customizable this time with rear buttons that can easily be mapped inside of any game. The only downside? The Switch 2 Pro Controller costs $85, which seems a bit egregious when you can get an excellent controller like 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 wireless gamepad for $60. As good as the competition is, though, you won’t find anything that can be easily…

The Indie Game Awards, a usually delightful and low-controversy annual celebration of the best of indie games in a given year, has found itself having to retract three different awards handed out in last week’s event, including its Game of the Year prize. That originally went to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which also won Best Debut Indie, both already controversial choices given the game is not “indie” by pretty much every understanding of the term, but was withdrawn on the allegation that the developers, Sandfall Interactive, were not honest about the game’s use of AI when it was submitted. The…

QUICK FACTSWhere is it? Atacama Desert, ChileWhat’s in the photo? A rare dusting of snow covers parts of one of the driest places on EarthWhich satellite took the photo? Landsat 9When was it taken? July 10, 2025This striking satellite photo captured a rare spectacle earlier this year, when “one of the driest places on Earth” experienced a rare snowstorm. This freak event temporarily turned the barren, rocky landscape white — and briefly shut down one of the world’s most powerful radio telescopes.The Atacama Desert is a roughly 40,500-square-mile (105,000 square kilometer) non-polar desert, located within a 1,000-mile-long (1,600 km) strip…

On Monday, the US Department of the Interior announced that it was pausing the leases on all five offshore wind sites currently under construction in the US. The move comes despite the fact that these projects already have installed significant hardware in the water and on land; one of them is nearly complete. In what appears to be an attempt to avoid legal scrutiny, the Interior is blaming the decisions on a classified report from the Department of Defense. The second Trump administration announced its animosity toward offshore wind power literally on day one, issuing an executive order on inauguration…

Oppo may be getting ready to launch a compact, higher-end phone in India. A new leak shared by tipster Debayan Roy on X points to a device named the Reno 15 Pro Mini, with several key specs now surfacing online. The phone is said to carry the model number CPH2813 and feature a 6.32-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. That would put it on the smaller side by current standards, while still offering a high-end screen. Powering the device is reportedly the MediaTek Dimensity 8450, the same chip used in the regular Reno 15.…

The Switch 2’s first year did come with a new Zelda game, though it’s not necessarily the one diehard fans are waiting for. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment ties directly into the storyline of Tears of the Kingdom, but it’s a musou-style hack-and-slash game rather than a traditional Legend of Zelda adventure. Still, the franchise’s producer says some of that action flavor could influence the direction of the next mainline entry. Age of Imprisonment was a collaboration between Koei Tecmo’s AAA Games Studio and the Zelda team at Nintendo, including long-time producer Eiji Aonuma. While AAA Games Studio would lead…

Milestone: “Taung Child” skull revealedDate: Dec. 23, 1924Where: Taung, South AfricaWho: Raymond Dart’s anthropological teamAt the end of 1924, an anthropologist began chipping away rock around an old primate skull — and rewrote the story of human evolution.The diminutive skull — about the size of a coffee mug — clearly belonged to a creature very different from us and yet also quite distinct from other apes and monkeys.But the man credited with its discovery, Raymond Dart, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, hadn’t actually excavated the skull.

But Anna’s Archive is clearly working to support AI developers, another noted, pointing out that Anna’s Archive promotes selling “high-speed access” to “enterprise-level” LLM data, including “unreleased collections.” Anyone can donate “tens of thousands” to get such access, the archive suggests on its webpage, and any interested AI researchers can reach out to discuss “how we can work together.” “AI may not be their original/primary motivation, but they are evidently on board with facilitating AI labs piracy-maxxing,” a third commenter suggested. Meanwhile, on Reddit, some fretted that Anna’s Archive may have doomed itself by scraping the data. To them, it…

A $130 gaming monitor is going to create more skepticism than confidence if you don’t look further than the price. A number that low will make people assume it’s a knockoff brand with middling resolution, poor response time, and a short lifespan. This $130 gaming monitor on sale at Amazon, however, is a Samsung Odyssey G3, one of the best models from one of the very best manufacturers. All of Samsung’s advanced features designed for peak gaming performance are packed into this compact 24-inch display that’s perfect for a bedroom or dorm room desk setup. Normally a $200 monitor that’s…
