After years of rumors, months of hype and weeks of anticipation, the Nintendo
Switch 2 has finally been released into the world. If you successfully pre-
ordered a model, then well done, and if you havenΓÇÖt snagged one yet, fear
not. WeΓÇÖve got literally tens of pages giving you all of the important
info, so you can prepare and / or glower covetously at your screen. That
includes Sam RutherfordΓÇÖs detailed preview filling you in on all the
details, plus answering if you really need to buy one so soon after launch.
The team has also cranked out this list of key questions about all the
hardware and software changes in a console they do not call Le Switch Deux in
France. If, after reading all of that, you decide to throw your money at the
screen, weΓÇÖve also got a rundown of which retailers are selling.

IΓÇÖll be honest, I nearly joined the pre-order scrum the moment it was
announced but opted not to for a couple of reasons. First, I donΓÇÖt have the
time or opportunity to game enough to need to get a console on day one.
Second, I donΓÇÖt think IΓÇÖve yet wrestled all the entertainment out of the
first-generation Switch. And third, the pain of buying a new console is
always in the two- or three-year wait before its games library is muscular
enough for it to be worth your while. Which is why IΓÇÖll be joining many of
you in glowering covetously at the screen, at least for the next year.

Pick up the Sonos Era 300 for 20 percent off in this home speaker sale It
rarely goes on sale too. Nathan Ingraham for Engadget

Sonos is discounting a number of its speakers through June 15, including its
Era 300 smart speaker. You can pick it up for just $359, $90 less than
youΓÇÖd normally spend, and it comes with the usual suite of Sonos tricks in
its back pocket. Like its automatic tuning feature, Trueplay, integration
with Siri and Alexa and (admittedly) hit-and-miss spatial audio.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB review: Finally, a powerful $350 GPU ItΓÇÖs got
more RAM than the equivalent 5060 Ti and still costs less. Devindra Hardawar
for Engadget

Devindra Hardawar has played with AMDΓÇÖs new Radeon RX 9060 XT for long
enough and now heΓÇÖs ready to share the details. The GPU is AMDΓÇÖs cheaper
alternative to NVIDIAΓÇÖs RTX 5060 Ti, available for $300 with 8GB RAM and
$350 if you opt for 16GB. There are compromises, like slower RAM and limited
support for FSR AI upscaling, but theyΓÇÖre tolerable. Especially when the
majority of gamers are playing in 1440p and donΓÇÖt need to break the bank
for a 4K card.

Samsung is teasing a new Ultra model, sharing little beyond an animation

the company said the handset will use AI for all sorts of tasks in your life,
optimized to suit the foldable form factor. Given the Z Fold is already the
companyΓÇÖs most ultra premium of ultra-premium devices, itΓÇÖll be
interesting to see just how much cash youΓÇÖll have to spend to own one of
these yourself.

X tests... centrism ΓÇÿCentrism.ΓÇÖ X

X is testing a feature that will ask users what they think of specific posts
and how it makes them feel. The hope is to use that information to train an
algorithm to surface content liked by users from all parts of the political
spectrum. ItΓÇÖs an interesting idea, but given X has been forcing folks with
perspectives different from its new owner to leave for blueier or threadier
pastures, it might not be as effective as it would have been two years ago.
