Nintendo of Canada has announced that the pricing of the Switch, its accessories, its games and even Amiibo figures, will all be changing in Canada come August. The pricing adjustment is being made ased on market conditions, according to the the announcement.

11 Bit Studios has drawn the ire of players for the undisclosed use of artificial intelligence in its recent release, The Alters . The new project from the team behind Frostpunk and This War of Mine is a narratively and thematically interesting take on a science fiction survival game. The project contains a lot of dialogue and written text, and some players discovered in-game copy that appeared to be generated by a large language model. The Steam storefront requires that games disclose when they

Apple is considering using AI models from OpenAI or Anthropic to deliver the more capable version of Siri it debuted at WWDC 2024, Bloomberg reports . The company has promised it could deliver a new version of its voice assistant that understands personal context and takes action inside of apps since last year, but officially delayed the updated Siri in March 2025. As part of this proposed new plan, Apple has asked Anthropic and OpenAI to train versions of its models that can run on Apple's Priv

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available in the US for more than three weeks and we finally saw a second wave of availability at retail as June was coming to an end. While it's too early to declare the Switch 2 to be easy to obtain, the fact that Best Buy and Walmart had units to sell online on June 23 and June 25, respectively, is a good sign that attentive shoppers may be able to take advantage of a Switch 2 restock this summer without paying a ridiculous markup. That said, if you're looking

The US Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit against Apple will progress. US District Judge Julien Neals of New Jersey denied the tech company's motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought over its walled garden approach to smartphone software. The DOJ and several states filed the lawsuit against Apple in March 2024. Their argument was that Apple had created a monopoly over app software. The suit claimed that Apple's restrictions and fees placed on developers, as well as its limits on third-party

Sinners was already a huge hit in theaters , and for the film's debut on streaming, Warner Bros. Discovery is trying to make it as accessible as possible. The studio announced today that when the vampire film gets added to Max on July 4, it'll be available to stream alongside a new version of the film interpreted in Black American Sign Language (BASL). The film follows a pair of twin brothers played by Michael B. Jordan, and their aspiring musician cousin played by newcomer Miles Caton, as they

Super Mario Maker 2 was released six years ago this past Saturday. While Nintendo didn't do a whole lot to mark the occasion, one of the game's most dedicated players sure did. DSteves hit a remarkable milestone by becoming the first to clear 1 million SMM2 levels . The Twitch and YouTube streamer had hoped to reach that point by the game's sixth anniversary and got there toward the end of a 18-hour marathon . In fact, DSteves cleared 1,000 levels during that single stream. After the 999,999th l

A great phone doesnt need to cost a fortune. In 2025, features once exclusive to high-end devices big batteries, multi-camera arrays, high refresh rate displays and more have trickled down to more affordable models. Sure, youll still need to buy a flagship smartphone to get the best camera or fastest processor, but you dont need to compromise nearly as much anymore if youre looking for a great handset at a reasonable price. If you have less than $600 to spend, let us help you figure out what f

NASA is bringing live NASA+ programming to Netflix . For the uninitiated, NASA+ is the space agency's very own streaming platform . Content will begin showing up later this summer. This will be reserved for live events, with NASA saying it'll be used to stream rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, mission coverage and breathtaking live views of Earth from the International Space Station. NASA+ also streams original documentaries , but it doesn't look like that's part of this deal. The National

It's been getting easier and easier to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 since launch, but the console is still notably unavailable from Amazon. According to a new report from Bloomberg , Nintendo's frustration with third-party game sales on the platform could be the reason why. Third-party merchants were offering games for sale in the US at prices that undercut Nintendos advertised rates, Bloomberg writes. That proved to be a major problem for Nintendo, especially because Amazon used to sell some of

A pair of US lawmakers have called on the US Department of Commerce to investigate OnePlus over allegations that the company's devices transmit data to Chinese servers without user consent, according to a report by Reuters . This is a bipartisan effort, with Republican Representative John Moolenaar (MI) and Democratic Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL) spearheading the calls for an investigation. There's no actual data to go along with these allegations, but the lawmakers claim to have seen

A security company has found eight security vulnerabilities that impact hundreds of Brother printer models. The company has released firmware updates to handle seven of these vulnerabilities, but one security flaw cannot be patched. Brother has indicated that it'll fix the remaining issue during the manufacturing process of future printers, which doesn't help current owners. The company recommends that users change the default main password. Otherwise, bad actors could remotely access impacted d

GoPros Anamorphic lens mod is finally available to buy, completing the set of lenses the company teased when it announced its Hero 13 action cam . At the time, the most significant change to the latest edition of its best-selling camera was the ability to attach a selection of lenses and ND filters. Of all of them, I was most intrigued by the Anamorphic Lens Mod ($130), pitched as a lens for professional-level artistic filmmaking. Just like the rest of GoPros HB-Series lenses, its easy to remove

The bumper 2025 edition of Amazon's Prime Day is fast approaching and the deals are starting to emerge. While we've seen this offer pop up several times in the past, it's one that's always worth highlighting. New Audible subscribers can get three months of access to the Premium Plus plan for $3. That's a total of $42 off. This is one of the best streaming deals around right now. It will be available until July 31, which is a few weeks after the Prime Day event ends (it could probably be called P

Tinder is requiring new users in California to verify their identities by using facial recognition, according to a report by Axios . The policy goes into effect today as a test program. The obvious reason behind this is to make sure people are who they say they are. Dating apps, after all, are a haven for scammers . The platform's Face Check feature prompts users to make a short video selfie. The face scan confirms the identity of the user by matching biometric indicators with profile photos. It

Amazon's Prime Day is fast approaching and the early deals are coming through thick and fast. One that is perhaps worth your attention is a discount on Apple's USB-C AirPods Max. The headphones have dropped to $480 , which is a $69 discount. The deal is available for all AirPods Max colorways except purple (sorry if you were holding out for a good deal on that variant!). This isn't the best price we've ever seen for the AirPods Max. They dipped to $450 during last year's Black Friday period. Sti

Andy Weir's sci-fi books are practically built to be turned into movies, especially in the hands of great writers and directors. That's what happened with The Martian , which was a delightfully nerdy self-published novel that was transformed into a thrilling film adaptation thanks to Drew Goddard's script and Ridley Scott's bold direction. And I have a feeling the same will be true for the latest Weir adaptation, Project Hail Mary , judging from the first trailer released today. It's got everyt

Prime Day 2025 is coming soon on July 8-11, but you don't have to wait to grab good tech deals and that goes for everyone, not just Prime members. Early deals have already started popping up on Amazon, and one of the best at the moment is on an Engadget-approved air purifier. The Levoit Core 400S air purifier is on sale for $183, which is $37 off its usual price and not too far off of the lowest price we've seen. It's part of a larger sale on all kinds of Levoit devices including other air puri

Prime Day 2025 begins soon on July 8, but members can already save on a bunch of tech available on Amazon's site. One such early deal is on the Roomba Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo , which is down to $140 for Prime subscribers right now. That's nearly half off its usual price and a far cry from its standard $275 cost. We ranked iRobot's Roomba Robot Vacuum as our overall favorite budget option , but this Prime Day deal features a version that can both vacuum and mop. With the Prime Day price drop,

Prime Day is just one week away, and the early deals are already arriving on Amazon. There's everything from the fun, like a three-month subscription to Audible, to the practical, like the Levoit Core 400S air purifier. Falling firmly in the latter category is Amazon's latest offer, a 29 percent discount on the TP-Link Deco AXE5400 WI-Fi mesh router system . You can pick up the three-pack for $250, down from $350. The TP-Link Deco AXE5400 is our choice for best mesh Wi-Fi system for most people.

Canada has folded in its battle with US President Donald Trump over tariffs by cancelling its proposed digital services tax (DST) on big tech companies, the government announced . On Friday, Trump ended trade talks over the levy, which he called a direct and blatant attack on our country. However, discussions have resumed now that the DST is gone, according to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The DST has been in effect since last year but Canada was due to collect the first payments totallin

If there's one thing the AI industry needs it's more regulation . Yet, soon individual US states might not have much say in what AI companies can and can't do thanks to Trump pleasing senators. That's right, an AI-friendly amendment to the president's tax legislation is on the road to approval despite concerns that its shoehorning is illegal . The would prevent states from legislating the AI industry for five years, Bloomberg reports . Only states that cooperate will be allowed to access some

Dave the Diver just marked its two-year anniversary, and the team behind it has a bunch of updates to share about its future. While it's mostly good news, there is one little hiccup: the upcoming In the Jungle DLC , which was announced a few months ago and was expected to arrive later this year, now isn't likely to launch until 2026. But everything else announced in the 11-minute anniversary video should make up for it. That includes the return of the time-limited free Godzilla DLC , which is no

Apple's film studio finally has a successful summer blockbuster to its name with its latest sports drama flick starring Brad Pitt. F1 the Movie saw an opening weekend that earned $144 million globally and $55.6 million domestically, according to Comscore numbers . Apple Original Films' feature beat out other highly anticipated releases like the live-action remake, How to Train Your Dragon , and the third installment in the post-apocalyptic horror film series, 28 Years Later.

The unending saga between President Donald Trump and TikTok may finally get some closure. In an interview with Fox News ' Maria Bartiromo, the US president announced that there's a buyer secured for TikTok. We have a buyer for TikTok by the way, Trump said in the interview. I think I'll need probably China approval and I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it. When asked to identify the buyer, Trump only cryptically revealed that it was a group of very wealthy people, which would be an

It turns out that your smartphone could be an overlooked vulnerability that puts you at risk of being tracked. To combat this, Google is rolling out a new security feature in Android 16 that will warn users if their device is using a fake or insecure mobile network or if that network requests identifying information about a connected device. However, these features likely won't be available until the next generation of Android devices, as first reported by Android Authority . Since the current A

It's hard to believe that Playdate Season Two is almost over already, but here we are in week five with just one more drop of new games left to go after this. In the latest batch, we got the climbing metroidvania, Tiny Turnip , and Chance's Lucky Escape , a short point-and-click adventure that leans into the absurd. In line with the rest of this season's games, which have consistently been really solid, they're both pretty damn fun. Tiny Turnip Luke Sanderson Tiny Turnip is one of the standouts

Amazon Prime Day has been a summer mainstay for years at this point and this year is no exception. Prime Day will return on July 8 to July 11 this year, marking the first time the shopping event has been more than 48-hours long. That just means youll have more time to shop the deals, but really, you don't even have to wait until the official start date to save. Amazon typically always has early Prime Day deals in the lead-up to the event, and this year were already seeing some solid discounts on

For many, summer means it's time to grill outdoors. But cooking inside does at least mean youre likely to deal with fewer bugs. It also makes it easier to try out new kitchen equipment, such as a Ninja air fryer thats on sale ahead of Prime Day. The Ninja Foodi Dual-Zone 10-quart air fryer is $50 off and down to $180. This is not a record low price for this model. However, its still a good price for this time of year, some five months away from Black Friday. The DZ401 is one of our favorite air

The AI startup Runway, which recently partnered with AMC Networks , is now trying to break into the gaming industry. The company has plans to launch its latest platform, called Game Worlds, next week, according to The Verge . The new tool lets Runway users create something akin to an interactive text-based game that can generate text and images from AI. Even though Game Worlds can only produce basic designs for now, the company's CEO, Cristbal Valenzuela, is hoping this will be the first step to

Tesla's robotaxi service may have had some early hitches , but the company said it just successfully delivered a car autonomously. Using the same robotaxi technology, Tesla showed the delivery process of a Model Y from its Gigafactory Texas in Austin to a customer with a roughly 30-minute journey as seen in a video posted on X . Unlike the robotaxi service launch last week, the automated delivery had no safety monitor , nor anyone behind the wheel. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, also posted on X that t

Anker has issued its second recall this month for several power bank models sold around the world, as MacRumors has reported. If you'll recall, its previous recall that launched earlier this month focused on the Anker PowerCore 10000 power bank model A1263, which were sold between June 1, 2016 and December 31st, 2022 in the United States. The company found that the lithium-ion battery it used for the model has a risk of overheating that could then lead to the power bank melting, producing smoke

It's that time of year again when Amazon is hosting deals on everything from wireless earbuds to air fryers. Starting July 8, Prime Day will run for four days with deep price cuts on smart home gadgets, including the Roomba Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo from iRobot that drops down to an all-time low of $140 from its original $275 price tag. While this Roomba was marked down to $149 earlier this year, the Prime Day deal is the first time we're seeing a 49 percent discount. Just note that this deal i

Facebook has been showing some users a pop-up message asking them if they want to allow the social network to create collages, recaps and AI restylings using photos they've yet to upload from their camera roll. According to TechCrunch , Facebook has been showing users the message when they upload a new Story on the app. It doesn't pop up for everyone, however, since we weren't able to replicate the event. In that notification, Meta wrote that in order to create ideas for users, it'll select medi

Prime Day deals are already surfacing on Amazon ahead of the July 8-11 shopping event, and unsurprisingly, a discount on Audible is among them. We've seen similar offers pop up in the past, but considering Audible is one of the top audiobook streaming services out there, it's worth highlighting again. New Audible subscribers can get three months of access to the Premium Plus plan for $3. That's a total of $42 off for the whole three-month period. This is one of the best streaming deals around ri

Kobo, a Rakuten subsidiary that sells ebooks and ereaders, has built its name on being a more open and author-friendly version of Amazon Kindle. However, a recent change to the company's self-publishing business has some writers worried that reputation might change. Last month, the company updated its Terms of Service for Kobo Writing Life , its publishing platform, which opened the door to AI features on the platform. With that new contract language going into effect on June 28th, authors seem

Welcome to the latest edition of our indie game roundup. Weve got quite a bit on deck this week, starting with a few nuggets of news. In case you missed it, the Steam Summer Sale is upon us, which means there are bargains galore on the storefront (weve rounded up some of the tastier deals ).

President Donald Trump said the US is ending trade talks with Canada, effective immediately, over a tax on digital services that will impact American tech companies. He also pledged to announce further tariffs on Canada within the next week, adding in a Truth Social post that hey will be paying to do business with the United States of America. Canada's digital services tax (DST) is set to take effect on June 30, though it will be applied retroactively. According to The New York Times , US compa

The New York Times ran a lengthy interview this morning between columnist Ross Douthat and venture capitalist and PayPal founder Peter Thiel. There's a reason it was published in the opinion section. Thiel, a Trump booster whose allies including Vice President JD Vance now litter the White House, was given free reign to discuss a variety of topics across over an hour of softball questions. Is Greta Thunberg the literal antichrist? Are the three predominant ideological schools in Europe environ

We know what youre thinking: there just isnt enough AI around right now. Luckily for you, Donald Trump emphatically agrees. According to a new report from Reuters , his administration is assembling a number of executive actions that would significantly increase the energy supply used for expanding artificial intelligence. The US and China are currently battling it out to lead the way in the rapidly growing sector, but American companies will need more infrastructure to make the advances Trump wa

When we say that NordVPN is a good VPN that's not quite great, it's important to put that in perspective. Building a good VPN is hard, as evidenced by all the shovelware VPNs flooding the market. NordVPN may not be perfect, but it's easily top-five caliber and excels in certain use cases. First, the bad: NordVPN's apps could all stand to undergo a little more quality control, with elements distracting from other elements and inconsistent designs from platform to platform. At least one of its FAQ

The US Supreme Court has upheld a Texas law that could have broad implications for online free speech. The court ruled 6-3 in affirming Texas law HB 1181 , which requires websites that host adult content to implement age verification. The nonprofit Free Speech Coalition petitioned the top court in April 2024 to review the law. (The organization represents the adult industry.) Texas was one of many states passing age-verification laws aimed at porn websites. Pornhub has exited 17 states due to si

The Eufy 11S Max robot vacuum is on sale for $140 as part of an early Prime Day sale . That's half off, as the typical cost is $280 for this particular model. This is extremely close to a record-low price. This device made our list of the best budget-friendly robot vacuums . Perhaps the coolest feature here is that the 11S Max is extremely thin, so it can slide under short tables and other places typical robovacs are too chonky to reach. It's also extremely quiet during use, so it can be operate

Amazon Prime Day 2025 will be here soon on July 8-11, but as to be expected, you can already find some decent sales available now. Amazon always has lead-up sales in the days and weeks before Prime Day, and its wise to shop early if youre on the hunt for something specific and you see that item at a good discount. Prime Day deals are typically reserved for subscribers, but there are always a few that anyone can shop. We expect this year to be no exception, and were already starting to see that t

Amazon Prime Day is around the corner, but there are plenty of great deals to be found before the July 8 to 11 event. Right now you can pick up the Apple Watch 10 for $100 off its normal price. Thats the lowest weve ever seen it, and trust us, 25 percent off on current-generation Apple products is not easy to come by. Its hard to believe that the Apple Watch is already ten years old. It seems like only yesterday that we got our hands on the first generation, and now the Apple Watch 10 is countin
