More electronic devices reportedly exploded in Lebanon a day after coordinated pager attack

An attack in Lebanon reportedly <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/17/world/israel-hamas-war-news#here-are-the-latest-developments">killed</a> eight people and injured over 2,700. Hundreds of pagers belonging to Hezbollah members detonated simultaneously on Tuesday, leading the Iran-backed militant organization to blame Israel. The New York Times <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/17/world/middleeast/israel-hezbollah-pagers-explosives.html">reported</a> that Israel was behind the attacks and conducted it by hiding explosive material inside the pagers. A second wave of attacks, these targeting handheld radios used by Hezbollah members, was <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/09/18/hezbollah-israel-pager-attack-lebanon-explosions/">reported</a> on Wednesday by The Washington Post. A day after Israeli leaders <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-new-war-goal-hezbollah-military-action-lebanon-gaza-rcna171417">warned</a> of escalating its military campaign against Hezbollah, pagers belonging to the Lebanese group’s members exploded at once. Witnesses reported seeing smoke emanating from the victims’ pockets, followed by sounds reminiscent of fireworks or gunshots. Lebanon’s health minister said 200 of the injured were in critical condition. He added that many victims had facial injuries, especially to the eyes. Hand and stomach injuries were also common, according to the health minister. Among those wounded was Mojtaba Amini, Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, according to Iranian state media. A second wave of attacks across different areas of Lebanon on Wednesday reportedly killed one person and injured over 100 others. The latest attacks reportedly targeted “wireless devices.” One of the explosions, triggered by a handheld radio, was reported at a funeral for four victims of Tuesday’s blasts. “Anyone who has a device, take out the battery now!” The Washington Post <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/09/18/hezbollah-israel-pager-attack-lebanon-explosions/">reported</a> that Hezbollah security members yelled at the mourners. “Turn off your phones, switch it to airplane mode!” Israel hasn’t commented on the attacks. But NYT reports that officials (including American ones) briefed on the operation said Israel was behind them. They claim as little as one to two ounces of explosive material were planted next to each pager’s battery, along with a switch allowing for remote detonations. At 3PM in Lebanon on Tuesday, the pagers received a message (appearing to be from Hezbollah leadership) that triggered the coordinated explosions, according to officials. The devices allegedly beeped for several seconds before detonating. The Washington Post reports that the logo of Taiwanese pager maker Gold Apollo was seen on the sabotaged pagers. However, Gold Apollo claimed the devices were “entirely handled” by a Hungarian company, BAC Consulting Kft, which was authorized to use Gold Apollo’s branding in some regions. “That product isn’t ours,” Gold Apollo’s founder and president, Hsu Ching-Kuang, <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/18/world/israel-hezbollah-gaza-hamas">told</a> The New York Times. “They just stick on our company brand.” Officials speaking with NYT claimed the devices were tampered with before reaching Lebanon. Most were Gold Apollo’s AR924 model, which the company displayed an image of on its website before removing them on Wednesday. The attacks sparked a wave of fear of using mobile devices. NYT reports some in Lebanon were scared to use their phones after Tuesday’s attacks, with one resident crying out, “Please hang up, hang up!” to their caller. The Times reports that Hezbollah, long suspicious of cellphone use near the Israeli border due to the devices’ geolocation capabilities, recently switched from mobile phones to pagers. In February, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah reportedly warned the group that their phones were dangerous and could be used by Israel as spy tools. He advised the group that they should “break or bury them.” Experts reportedly don’t yet know precisely how the pagers were distributed to Hezbollah’s members. They say that Iran, given its history of supplying Hezbollah with arms, tech and other military aid, would have been pivotal to their adoption and delivery. Update, September 18, 2024, 11:48AM ET: This story has been updated to add new details about Tuesday’s attacks and the second wave of reported blasts on Wednesday.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/pagers-explode-simultaneously-in-hundreds-of-hezbollah-members-pockets-190304565.html?src=rss

The Dead by Deadlight co-op shooter spinoff has been officially canceled

Update, September 18, 7PM ET: As <a href="https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/report-behaviour-interactive-shutters-midwinter-entertainment-after-scrapping-dead-by-daylight-spinoff">first reported by Game Developer</a>, Behaviour Interactive not only canceled Project T, it also closed Midwinter Entertainment, the studio which was working on the game. In a statement, the Canadian developer said "This sad news in no way reflects the talent of the team, who put a lot of energy into Project T. All the employees were offered to relocate to our Canadian studios, as we strongly believe in their expertise. Should they decide not to accept, they will be presented with a generous severance package. We want to thank them for all their hard work on Project T and wish them the very best for the future." Midwinter Entertainment was founded as an independent studio in 2016 before being acquired in 2022.  The original story follows: <hr /> Earlier this year, Behaviour Interactive teased a few Dead by Deadlight spinoff games. One has since been released to relative acclaim, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/supermassives-dead-by-daylight-spin-off-is-the-casting-of-frank-stone-020153336.html">The Casting of Frank Stone</a>, and What the Fog kinda came and went. That leaves one game unaccounted for. Today, we can scratch that one out for good. The company just announced that the spinoff known only as Project T <a href="https://x.com/Behaviour/status/1836103012575781262">has been canceled</a>. <div id="169da04b28874329b6dd8006ae97a6d1"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://t.co/TfIpAk06Mm">pic.twitter.com/TfIpAk06Mm</a>— Behaviour Interactive (@Behaviour) <a href="https://twitter.com/Behaviour/status/1836103012575781262?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 17, 2024</a></blockquote> </div> Project T was advertised as a third-person co-op shooter, making it one of the rare times in the franchise players would be able to fight back against enemies using guns. The game has been around in beta form for a while, as part of Behavior Interactive’s insider program. It looks like those early playtests didn’t go so well. The company said that “a number of players expressed satisfaction” but that the “outcome of this deep analysis yielded unsatisfactory overall results.” This doesn’t mean anything for the larger franchise. The developer has leaned into experimental projects lately and it looks like Project T just didn’t make the cut. It’s unfortunate, but there’s still the mainline game and it’s <a href="https://www.engadget.com/castlevania-is-coming-to-dead-by-daylight-later-this-year-164509826.html">many, many crossovers</a>. There’s also the aforementioned The Casting of Frank Stone, which is a narrative driven title by Supermassive set in the same universe. Finally, What the Fog is something of a Jumanji-like spin on the OG game. Kids get sucked into a board game. You know the drill.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/the-dead-by-deadlight-co-op-shooter-spinoff-has-been-officially-canceled-154312867.html?src=rss

MrBeast and Amazon are being sued by contestants of their planned competition show

A <a href="https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/MrBeast-Amazon-Beast-Games-Complaint.pdf"><ins>lawsuit</ins></a> on behalf of five unnamed contestants who participated in YouTuber MrBeast’s Beast Games was filed on September 16 in Los Angeles against MrBeast as well as Amazon, which plans to distribute the show. It’s also seeking class-action status. Beast Games is the brainchild of Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast. This game show had participants go through challenges for a shot at $5 million in cash. There would only be one winner out of 1,000 participants, so the money would only go to the last person standing. When the five contestants participated in the game show, they each wanted to win the money, but nothing prepared them for the poor conditions, mistreatment and harassment they experienced. Among the 14 complaints are failure to pay minimum wages, sexual harassment, false advertising and failure to provide uninterrupted meal and rest breaks. The plaintiffs filed this lawsuit on behalf of all Beast Games contestants besides themselves. Much of the lawsuit’s content is hidden, including the contestants’ names and the exact details of their mistreatment. Of note were the female contestants’ experiences. The lawyers claimed that the work environment there “fostered a culture of misogyny and sexism where Production Staff did nothing.” The contestants were considered employees under California law, but MrBeast and Amazon allegedly misclassified them to obtain a tax credit of around $2 million. They also arrived on set to discover that instead of 1,000 total competitors, there were far more people playing for the prize, thus lowering everyone's chances of coming out a winner. According to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/02/style/mrbeast-beast-games-competition-show.html"><ins>New York Times</ins></a>, the total number of contestants was about 2,000, something MrBeast said was the plan all along. The plaintiffs claimed this significantly reduced anyone’s chances of winning and was considered false advertising. Even worse, the show organizers did not grant them meal and rest breaks as required by California law. According to the lawsuit, some of the show participants developed injuries that “continue to persist and will persist from the future.” This isn’t the first time MrBeast has been involved in a lawsuit. Last year, he sued <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mrbeast-sues-his-fast-food-chain-for-selling-inedible-burgers-203055288.html"><ins>Virtual Dining Concepts</ins></a> (VDC) for making subpar MrBeast Burgers, ruining his reputation. VDC <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mrbeasts-burger-company-countersues-the-youtube-megastar-for-over-100-million-183859754.html"><ins>countersued</ins></a> MrBeast, seeking $100 million in damages. According to a <a href="https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/mrbeast-amazon-sued-beast-games-contestants-class-action-1236148181/"><ins>report from </ins><ins>Variety</ins></a>, MrBeast and Amazon have yet to comment on the lawsuit, with the former refusing to. Beast Games, slated for an Amazon Prime Video release, still has no announced release date.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/mrbeast-and-amazon-are-being-sued-by-contestants-of-their-planned-competition-show-152613641.html?src=rss

Lionsgate signs a deal with the devil (an AI startup)

Remember when the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and <a href="https://www.engadget.com/sag-aftra-ends-strike-after-securing-a-deal-that-protects-members-from-the-threat-of-ai-035253314.html">SAG-AFTRA went on strike</a> for months, in great part to get protections against AI?

The arrangement will allow Runway access to Lionsgate's content library in exchange for a fresh, custom AI model that the studio can use in production and editing. The deal is similar to recent (and equally icky feeling) ones with publishing houses such as <a href="https://www.engadget.com/time-strikes-a-deal-to-funnel-101-years-of-journalism-into-openais-gaping-maw-144058426.html">TIME</a> and <a href="https://www.engadget.com/openai-partners-with-people-publisher-dotdash-meredith-212832821.html">Dotdash Meredith</a>, but it is the first of its kind for the film and TV industry. Vice chairman of Lionsgate Studio, Michael Burns, said that in recent months, he feared falling behind competitors without a step like this. "Runway is a visionary, best-in-class partner who will help us utilize AI to develop cutting edge, capital efficient content creation opportunities," Burns stated. He then claimed, "Several of our filmmakers are already excited about its potential applications to their pre-production and post-production process." There's also the small matter that he expects the company will save "millions and millions of dollars" through this agreement. Whether that money will come out of creatives' paychecks is something we can only speculate about now, but it wouldn't be surprising. As for Lionsgate's new bedfellow, like many AI companies, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/ai-video-startup-runway-reportedly-trained-on-thousands-of-youtube-videos-without-permission-182314160.html">Runway has faced accusations</a> of pilfering content to train its system. A former employee came forward in July with alleged internal spreadsheets demonstrating that Runway used YouTube videos from the likes of Disney, Netflix and popular media outlets to train its Gen-3 model. A group of artists are also suing Runway and other players like Stability AI for copyright infringement, <a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/artists-vs-stability-ai-lawsuit-moves-ahead-2524849">reports Artnet</a>. The plaintiffs garnered a win in August, with California District Judge William Orrick finding they had reasonably argued these companies had violated the artists' rights.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/lionsgate-signs-a-deal-with-the-devil-an-ai-startup-151046341.html?src=rss

The best iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro cases for 2024

If you’ve just picked up one of the latest Apple <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/iphone-16-hands-on-more-pro-than-i-expected-222843896.html">iPhone 16</a> models, you may be wondering what the best way is to keep your shiny new handset protected and free from scratches. That’s where a good case comes in. Let’s face it, accidents happen. Whether it’s an unexpected drop, scratches from your keys or just daily wear and tear, your Apple smartphone can easily get dented or scuffed. A good case will act like armor, preventing scratches, dents and cracks. And some cases go beyond just basic protection – they include extra features like raised edges around the camera to shield the most vulnerable parts of your device (you may also want to consider a screen protector to go along with it). Of course, not all cases are created equal. Some are designed for heavy-duty protection, ideal if you’re someone who’s constantly on the go or prone to accidents, while others are more about style and slimness, giving you a sleek look without adding bulk. There are even cases that include things like a kickstand so you can more easily enjoy your favorite content. The key is finding one that suits both your lifestyle and your phone model — especially with the latest iPhone 16 lineup. Make sure the case you pick is specifically compatible with your <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/iphone-16-vs-iphone-16-pro-specs-and-features-compared-side-by-side-182312186.html">iPhone 16 Pro</a>, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/iphone-16-pro-and-pro-max-review-cameras-and-customization-120052372.html">iPhone 16 Pro Max</a>, iPhone 16, or iPhone 16 Plus, so everything fits perfectly and works with features like MagSafe charging. <h2 id="jump-link-best-iphone-cases-for-2024">Best iPhone cases for 2024</h2> <h2 id="jump-link-iphone-case-faqs">iPhone case FAQs</h2> <h3 id="jump-link-what-is-the-most-protective-brand-of-phone-cases">What is the most protective brand of phone cases?</h3> There is no one "most protective" brand of phone cases, but rather there are many that tout extra security for your handset.

At launch, the feature will only be available to people with Substack's Bestsellers badges, but the company said it plans to roll it out to all users in the coming months. Creators can begin live videos within the Substack app. As with written material on the platform, a creator can set whether the audience for a live video is everyone, all subscribers or paid subscribers. Any channel subscribers will be notified when a live video begins. There's also an option for collaboration, inviting other Substack members into the live broadcast.

Substack has been <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.engadget.com/substack-is-trying-to-lure-tiktok-stars-to-its-platform-130052380.html">making a push</a> to bring video content creators to its platform from TikTok, which doesn't seem like an obvious competitor to the company's existing offerings or an obvious match for the community it has cultivated. Emails are asynchronous communication that can be read whenever it's convenient, the polar opposite of must-watch-now live videos. The option to include recordings in newsletters is useful, but adopting the live viewing as a regular part of their Substack routine may be a big ask for current users. In short: there's no guarantee that the new feature will function well, or that most newsletter creators and readers are interested in engaging with video content.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/apps/substack-a-newsletter-service-is-now-also-a-live-video-company-150004585.html?src=rss

Nintendo Switch 2: Everything we know about the coming release

As the world turns, so do the console generations. The Nintendo Switch <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2017-03-01-nintendo-switch-review.html">is over seven years old</a>, so it’s due for a refresh. Nintendo Switch 2 rumors have been <a href="https://www.engadget.com/the-morning-after-nintendo-is-reportedly-showing-off-switch-sequel-console-to-developers-111620441.html">swirling for years</a>, but now they are really heating up. A sequel to Nintendo's most successful home console ever is coming and it’s likely <a href="https://www.engadget.com/nintendo-to-announce-switch-successor-before-march-2025-091457457.html">coming sooner rather than later</a>. Will it be a straight up sequel to the Switch with updated specs while retaining the same hybrid functionality or will Nintendo get weird with it? Will it even be called the Switch 2, or will the company go with something like the Super Switch or even the New Nintendo Switch? You can never tell with Nintendo. Heck, maybe it’ll call the thing the Switch U. In any event, recent weeks have brought feverish speculation regarding all aspects of the forthcoming gaming console. It’s important to note, however, that very little information has been confirmed by Nintendo. The company operates on its own timetable. With that said, here are all of the rumors that are most likely to come true, given industry analysis. <h2 id="jump-link-when-will-it-be-announced">When will the Nintendo Switch 2 be announced?</h2> As previously mentioned, Nintendo marches to the beat of its own drum. We don’t exactly know when it’ll hold an event to reveal the console. However, many are predicting that it’ll happen sometime this month. Why is this? The company recently shuffled around its normal Nintendo Direct schedule to make room for something in September, <a href="https://kotaku.com/nintendo-direct-switch-2-release-date-1851621426">as indicated by Kotaku</a>. September is also an important time in the Japanese video game calendar, as Tokyo Game Show is scheduled for the end of the month. Many members of the press have also heard “industry whispers” regarding a September reveal event. These include GamesIndustry.biz head Christopher Dring, who teased that <a href="https://x.com/Chris_Dring/status/1831232577161605130">something Switch 2-related</a> would be happening this month. Editor-in-chief of VGC, Andy Robinson, <a href="https://twitter.com/Andy_VGC/status/1831264806180978696">concurred that a</a> “bunch of press have heard this” but said that he “wouldn’t bet my house on it.” <div id="dffb53ba5efd4db6ae452eaf947d3c7f"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">No-one seems to have noticed the Nintendo assembler- Hosiden is spending ¥2bn on production equipment and ¥1bn on automation in FY3/25 for its major customer in amusement (Nintendo). I still expect Sept news and March 2025 release for next device. <a href="https://t.co/APGEGGSyS8">pic.twitter.com/APGEGGSyS8</a>— David Gibson (@gibbogame) <a href="https://twitter.com/gibbogame/status/1831321550185959553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 4, 2024</a></blockquote> </div> Even Nintendo has trouble keeping the lid on a major console release. There are parts that have to be sourced and shipments that have to be made. A senior analyst at MST Financial <a href="https://x.com/gibbogame/status/1831321550185959553">noted a spike in production equipment spending</a> by Nintendo assembler Hosiden, so he also expects a September announcement date.  <h2 id="jump-link-when-will-the-nintendo-switch-2-come-out">When will the Nintendo Switch 2 come out?</h2> Once again, this is more or less a mystery. We aren’t totally in the dark, but it’s mostly rumor and speculation. One thing we know for sure is that Nintendo will announce the Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever it chooses to call it) by March 2025, as the company <a href="https://www.engadget.com/nintendo-to-announce-switch-successor-before-march-2025-091457457.html">confirmed that back in May</a>. Some are saying there will be a March release date, which makes sense given the OG Switch came out on March 17, 2017. However, other reports put the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/nintendo-switch-2-release-date-rumor-2025-not-2024">console’s release window later in 2025</a>. We can infer a lot from the announcement date. If the console gets announced this year, March is likely, given that the original Switch was officially confirmed in October of 2016. If the announcement doesn't come until next year, the launch probably won’t come until after April. <h2 id="jump-link-will-it-even-be-a-proper-switch-sequel">Will it even be a proper Switch sequel?</h2> Nintendo has a weird track record here. The baffling Wii U followed the massive success of the Wii. The Wii itself followed the more traditional GameCube. In other words, it’s possible it’ll be something out of left field and not exactly a true sequel to the Switch. However, this is unlikely this time around. As much as I would love to see wacky VR glasses or a completely bonkers console concept, all points indicate a more traditional approach. <div id="3e64ffd97e664375aac3e625648d5f57"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Nintendo Patent Points to (Another) VR Headset <a href="https://t.co/pofTjclgOt">https://t.co/pofTjclgOt</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LaboVR?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LaboVR</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Nintendo?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Nintendo</a> <a href="https://t.co/A5WEZUG3kL">pic.twitter.com/A5WEZUG3kL</a>— The Escapist (@EscapistMag) <a href="https://twitter.com/EscapistMag/status/1171464123621601280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 10, 2019</a></blockquote> </div> Developers <a href="https://www.engadget.com/nintendo-is-said-to-be-showing-the-switch-2s-dlss-and-ray-tracing-capabilities-to-developers-161050817.html">have already seen the hardware</a>, though in a much earlier form, and it seems to be a regular old console. While Nintendo hasn't confirmed hybrid functionality, it’d be a weird omission given the absolute financial firestorm of the Switch. We’ve also heard rumors of a <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/nintendo-switch-pro-could-sport-a-mini-led-display-heres-why-that-matters">Mini-LED display</a>, which would track for a hybrid console. It’s highly likely this will be a straight-up Switch 2, or something like it, calling to mind the Super Nintendo. <div id="60133e88b68548c7933cd9ac1c23caa6"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">A summary of today's alleged Switch 2 images 'leak'. (1/3) <a href="https://t.co/Z4rfSGz4WQ">pic.twitter.com/Z4rfSGz4WQ</a>— Andy Robinson (@Andy_VGC) <a href="https://twitter.com/Andy_VGC/status/1836369796742398294?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 18, 2024</a></blockquote> </div> To that end, recent rumors suggest a design that recalls the original Switch. According to <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/alleged-images-of-nintendos-new-switch-have-appeared-online/">reporting by VGC</a>, photos of the console have appeared online and they show an 8-inch screen and magnetic Joy-Con controllers. There looks to be SL/SR buttons and front-facing player LEDs on these controllers.  <h2 id="jump-link-is-the-nintendo-switch-2-backwards-compatible">Is the Nintendo Switch 2 backwards compatible?</h2> If it’s a sequel to the Switch, the next question has to be about backwards compatibility. The Switch’s library is absolutely massive, and continues to grow, so gamers would be rightfully peeved if they couldn’t play Tears of the Kingdom on their new next-gen console. There’s good news on this front. Multiple sources <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1f8upu3/comment/llhjx2t/">have reported</a> that the console will likely be fully backwards compatible, which is great. This should be true of both <a href="https://www.mobapad.com/blogs/the-latest-scoop-on-nintendo-switch-2/the-latest-scoop-on-nintendo-switch-2">digital releases and physical cartridges</a>. Even Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser seemed to indicate this <a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-accounts-will-ease-transition-to-switch-successor-says-doug-bowser">during an interview conducted last year</a>, saying that the company’s goal this time around is to “minimize the dip you typically see in the last year of one cycle and the beginning of another.” Backwards compatibility would certainly get that done. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has also told investors that the company's revamped account system will make transitioning from Switch to its successor more smooth than previous generational leaps.  <h2 id="jump-link-what-about-specs">What about specs?</h2> The rumors regarding specs are all over the place, so it’s tough to pin down. We know one thing for sure: It’ll be more powerful than the ancient Switch hardware, which was already antiquated back in 2017. One analyst allegedly got a hold of a spec sheet from the Korean United Daily News that said the Switch 2 <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/news/nintendo-switch-2-could-be-disappointingly-underpowered-heres-what-we-know">would boast an eight-core Cortex-A78AE processor</a>, 8GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal eMMC storage. This tracks for me, as these specs are about as underpowered in 2024 as the original Switch was in 2017. However, some reports <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/alleged-images-of-nintendos-new-switch-have-appeared-online/">do indicate that the console</a> would include 12GB of RAM.  Another source suggests that the eight-core CPU will be packaged inside an NVIDIA-produced <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/nintendo-switch-2">Tegra239 SoC (system on a chip)</a>. Given the current Switch runs on an NVIDIA chip, that makes a lot of sense. The CPU will be more powerful, but it's the Switch 2's new GPU that will be a major differentiator. It's all-but-confirmed that the Switch 2 will support DLSS, NVIDIA's "deep learning supersampling" upscaling tech, which would allow the console to render games at a low resolution internally while outputting a high-resolution image. (Fun fact: We actually wrote about <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018-09-14-nvidia-rtx-mesh-shaders-dlss-tensor-cores.html">how perfect DLSS was for the Nintendo Switch 2</a> when the technology was announced alongside the RTX 20 series back in 2018.) There are still questions about the Switch 2 and DLSS: Will the system support <a href="https://www.engadget.com/nvidia-dlss-3-ada-lovelace-160404110.html">newer DLSS features like frame generation</a>? Will existing games be automatically tidied up by NVIDIA's algorithm? Regardless of the exact implementation, DLSS upscaling will be a huge leap over the rudimentary techniques available to Nintendo Switch developers. As for the display, there are many conflicting rumors. Early reports from solid sources suggested the Switch 2 would have an 8-inch display LCD display, but there have also been rumors about an 7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Some analysts have suggested this would be an OLED screen, while others have said it would be a <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/nintendo-switch-pro-could-sport-a-mini-led-display-heres-why-that-matters">Mini-LED display</a>. A Mini-LED display is basically an LCD display that has a backlight made of (surprise!) mini-LEDs rather than edge lighting. This allows for local dimming, making the blacks more black. I’m hedging my bets here. I think it’ll be a standard LCD, to cut costs, with an OLED or Mini-LED model coming later down the line. However, Mini-LED screens are slightly cheaper than OLED displays, so that’s certainly a possibility at launch. As for resolution, recent reporting suggests that the console will output 1080p in handheld and 4K when docked. That's much better than the OG Switch.  <h2 id="jump-link-how-much-will-the-nintendo-switch-2-cost">How much will the Nintendo Switch 2 cost?</h2> We don't have too much information regarding price but we do have plenty of history to work with. The original Nintendo Switch launched at $300, which is pretty much the "magic number" when it comes to Nintendo console releases in recent years. The Wii U also came in at $300.  However, there are plenty of rumors circulating that Nintendo could be upping the asking price for the Switch 2. Numerous outlets <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/switch-2-predicted-to-arrive-in-2024-at-less-than-400">have reported it'll be $400</a>, or potentially even more expensive. However, the same analysts who say the console will be $400 were also fairly certain it would be out by the end of 2024 and, well, it looks like that ain't happening.  Dipping back into history, there is some precedence for a price uptick. The GameCube was $200 and the Wii was $250. The Wii U and Switch increased to $300 and, well, numbers like to go up. A $400 price tag would make it nearly as expensive as a PS5 and Xbox Series X. That would also put it at the same price as the 256GB LCD Steam Deck.  <h2 id="jump-link-do-we-know-about-any-launch-games">Do we know about any launch games?</h2> Nope! But it’s certainly <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2017-10-26-super-mario-odyssey-nintendo-switch-review.html">been a long time since</a> we’ve gotten a proper 3D Mario adventure, right? That would be one heck of a system seller. Other than that, your guess is as good as mine. Past as prologue, we can expect something from Ubisoft and an off-the-wall title like 1-2-Switch.  <div id="e52c76b4c1064d809c9c32a002b0c09a"></div> If there’s a gimmick or hook involved with the console, we’ll also get a game that takes advantage of that. A dual release of Metroid Prime 4, just like Breath of the Wild and Twilight Princess before that, is also a possibility. <hr /> That's everything we know about the Nintendo Switch 2 today. We'll update this article with rumors we trust and with information we gather directly from sources. Any changes made to the article after its initial publishing will be listed below.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/nintendo/nintendo-switch-2-everything-we-know-about-the-coming-release-110023903.html?src=rss

Apple confirms expanded language support for Apple Intelligence in 2025

The rollout of <a href="https://www.engadget.com/apples-first-attempt-at-ai-is-apple-intelligence-181444846.html">Apple Intelligence</a> will be fairly slow-paced, with <a href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/apple/">Apple</a> gradually adding new features and support for more languages over the coming months. The company has <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/18/24247839/apple-intelligence-language-support-german-italian">now confirmed support</a> for several more languages as Apple Intelligence will be available in German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese and Vietnamese in 2025. That’s in addition to previously announced support for Chinese, French, Japanese and Spanish. Apple will initially offer Apple Intelligence in the US in English with the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/apple-intelligence-for-iphone-ipad-and-mac-arrives-in-october-120502268.html">release of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1</a> in October. As such, you won’t have access to the tools immediately if you <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/iphone-16-launch-heres-how-to-pre-order-the-new-iphone-from-the-apple-store-183710721.html">pick up an iPhone 16</a> when Apple’s latest smartphone lineup ships on Friday. The tools will be available in localized English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK in December. Apple will also start rolling out the features in India and Singapore in English next year. Further language support is to be announced. There is one key thing worth noting as part of the Apple Intelligence rollout, however. Apple is not planning to broadly offer the tools <a href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-will-reportedly-withhold-new-ai-features-in-europe-due-to-regulations-183313640.html">in the European Union</a> or Chinese mainland right away. So while you’ll be able to use Apple Intelligence in Portuguese or French, you might not necessarily be able to do so while you’re in Portugal or France. “Apple Intelligence will not currently work if you are in the EU and if your Apple ID Country/Region is also in the EU,” <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/121115">Apple notes in a support article</a>. “If traveling outside of the EU, Apple Intelligence will work when your device language and Siri language are set to a supported language.” Also, as things stand, Apple Intelligence won’t work on phones bought on the Chinese mainland. Those traveling to China with an iPhone they bought elsewhere also won’t have access to the tools if their Apple ID Country/Region is set to mainland China. Apple is hoping to bring Apple Intelligence to the EU and China, however. The company told <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/18/apple-intelligence-will-support-german-italian-korean-portuguese-and-vietnamese-in-2025/">TechCrunch</a> that it's in talks with regulators in both markets over the issue. Apple is initially withholding the AI tools from the EU over concerns related to the Digital Markets Act. Update 9/18 10:41AM ET: Added a note that Apple is in discussions with the EU and China over Apple Intelligence. This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/apple-confirms-expanded-language-support-for-apple-intelligence-in-2025-140548274.html?src=rss

GM electric vehicles can finally recharge at Tesla Supercharger stations

Starting today, <a href="https://news.gm.com/newsroom.detail.html/Pages/news/us/en/2024/sep/0918-nacs.html"><ins>General Motors</ins></a> is starting to sell approved North American Charging Standard (NACS) DC adapters for its electric vehicles. GM <a href="https://www.engadget.com/gm-ev-owners-will-gain-access-to-tesla-superchargers-in-2024-002123436.html"><ins>originally announced</ins></a> it would support Tesla’s NACS connector 15 months ago, but it’s taken them until today to get adapters out to the market. Models from Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC will all be able to use this new adapter. Previously, GM electric vehicles weren’t compatible with Tesla Superchargers, as they were outfitted with a different proprietary charging port. Those who own these EVs can purchase an adapter for $225 using your vehicle brand’s mobile app. The app can also help owners locate the closest Supercharger station. These NACS DC adapters will first be available to US customers, while Canadian EV owners will have to wait until later this year. Moving forward, GM vehicles will now come with NACS DC adapters, meaning future owners won’t have to fork $225 over for the ability to recharge. To ensure all GM EV owners can power up their vehicles, the company is working with multiple supplies to provide enough adapters for all. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ford-ev-owners-can-now-use-tesla-superchargers-in-the-us-and-canada-130053549.html"><ins>Ford EV owners</ins></a> started being able to charge their vehicles at Tesla’s Superchargers. <a href="https://www.engadget.com/subaru-evs-will-support-teslas-nacs-chargers-starting-in-2025-185214250.html?_fsig=AfrWkTckfxMTF3IRC8c63Q--%7EA"><ins>Subaru</ins></a>, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/hyundai-evs-will-support-teslas-nacs-charging-starting-in-q4-2024-120517284.html"><ins>Hyundai</ins></a> and basically every other major automaker in the US also made similar announcements last year. That GM took <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/sashalekach/2024/06/20/tesla-supercharger-adapters-delayed-for-all-general-motors-evs/"><ins>well over a year</ins></a> to release adapters could be due to Tesla firing its entire Supercharger team in April, according to a report from Forbes.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/gm-electric-vehicles-can-finally-recharge-at-tesla-supercharger-stations-135228213.html?src=rss

Apple's M3 iMac is down to a record-low price ahead of October Prime Day

While I'm a MacBook gal myself, the appeal of <a href="https://www.engadget.com/apples-24-inch-m3-imac-starts-at-1299-and-ships-on-november-7-003010226.html">investing in an iMac</a> has crossed my mind now and again — all that display space is just so enticing.

As we said then, "If you've seen a 24-inch iMac before, you've seen this one." It doesn't have a larger option or vertical screen adjustment.
