Nintendo has taken the wraps off a Pro Controller to go along with the newly detailed Switch 2. It’s been upgraded with two new ‘GL’ and ‘GR’ buttons on the rear grips which can be used to remap other controls, a ‘C’ button to enable voice and video chats, and a 3.5mm audio jack along the bottom. The rest of the Pro Controller’s layout looks similar to the Switch version, but the semi-transparent plastic has been replaced with a matte black finish across the body of the controller, and glossy white plastic on the top edge. Like its predecessor, this second-gen Switch Pro Controller has a more traditional layout compared to the standard Joy-Con controllers. It also comes with bigger buttons and...

He starred in some of the biggest movies of the 1980s and 90s, also including The Doors and Heat.

During its Switch 2 event today, Nintendo confirmed that both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will offered as enhanced “Switch 2 Edition” titles. The critically acclaimed games will feature “enhanced resolution and frame rates” and HDR support. Nintendo didn’t go into specifics on those upgrades, but the titles were running at a perfectly smooth 60fps during the stream. Both titles pushed the original Switch hardware to its limits with occasional frame rate drops, so if Nintendo is able to deliver buttery-smooth gameplay on the new console, many early buyers will be happy to replay these classics. The company also demonstrated a new second-screen...

Nintendo is launching a special camera accessory for the Switch 2 that will let you host video chats with your Switch friends. Simply called the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, it’s a camera on a stand, designed to sit next to your TV while you play. You can use the new camera with GameChat, Nintendo’s new in-game chat system that lets you connect with friends online by pressing the new “C” button. During the Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo showed off a couple different ways to use the camera. Your face can appear as an overlay on top of the game you’re playing, or it can show a video feed only. Chat, share your game screen, and hang out with friends using GameChat, a new online feature for #NintendoSwitch2!...

Nintendo announced that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will have a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition that offers an additional control option and quality / performance graphics modes. In the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Beyond, you’ll be able to play the game using the Joy-Con controller’s mouse functionality. I’m curious to try that out — seems like it could be a great way to navigate through the game. As for the graphics options, the quality mode will let you play at 4K and 60fps with HDR while docked and at 1080p and 60fps with HDR in handheld mode. The performance mode will let you play at 1080p and 120fps with HDR while docked and 720p and 120fps with HDR in handheld mode. The news follows a major new look at...

In New Orleans, design firm Mason Ros came up with a gallery-like addition that links an 1830s-era Creole cottage to its next-door neighbor.Welcome to How They Pulled It Off, where we take a close look at one particularly challenging aspect of a home design and get the nitty-gritty details about how it became a reality. When tasked with a way to conjoin two neighboring properties, homeowners Tom Perrault and Sal Giambanco’s vision started as a hyphen—not an em dash or an en dash—and ultimately landed on something grander than the former alley that once stood there. Thanks to some creative thinking from design firm Mason Ros, a glass-lined hallway spans the distance between the two structures and is now...

Now that Nintendo has finally given us the rundown on the Switch 2, we can finally answer one of the biggest questions we had about the new console: “what’s the deal with that ‘C’ button?” The button, present on the right Joy-Con directly below the home button, is square and marked with a “C.” The mysterious new button was shown briefly in the video debuting the Switch back in February and was present in every mock-up and leak of the console. In the Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo finally revealed the purpose of the button, a new feature called GameChat. Chat, share your game screen, and hang out with friends using GameChat, a new online feature for #NintendoSwitch2! #NintendoDirect...

At least 19 people are reported killed in Jabalia as Israel's defence minister says it is expanding ground operations.

Getting a look at the internals of a garden variety “wall wart” isn’t the sort of thing that’s likely to excite the average Hackaday reader. You’ve probably cracked one open yourself, and even if you haven’t, you’ve likely got a pretty good idea of what’s inside that sealed up brick of plastic. But sometimes a teardown can be just as much about the journey as it is the end result.
Truth be told, we’re not 100% sure if this teardown from [Brian Dipert] over at EDN was meant as an April Fool’s joke or not. Certainly it was posted on the right day, but the style is close enough to some of his previous work that it’s hard to say. In any event, he’s created a visual feast — never in...

If people insist that most things on the internet must remain ‘free’, the mechanisms that allow that to happen must continue too. Invariably that means more advertising alongside diminishing privacy, at least for those lucky enough to still have any left. Yet life could still be a lot worse, oddly enough by restrictions on advertising designed to hurt certain platforms while ensuring people are unable to profit from them.

It’s official, we’re living in the future. Certainly that’s the only explanation for how [wrongbaud] was able to write a three-part series of posts on hacking a cheap electric toothbrush off of AliExpress.
As you might have guessed, this isn’t exactly a hack out of necessity. With a flair for explaining hardware hacking, [wrongbaud] has put this together as a practical “brush-up” (get it?) on the tools and concepts involved in reverse engineering. In this case, the Raspberry Pi is used as a sort of hardware hacking multi-tool, which should make it relatively easy to follow along.

This week, Robin Wall Kimmerer , Indigenous ecologist and author of “The Serviceberry: An Economy of Gifts and Abundance,” talks about the virtues of the ‘gift economy,” and explains that gifting is instinctive in the natural world and has been the way of life with Indigenous cultures who have found that relying on each other is mutually beneficial. When one group or person offers their resources, they have the understanding that there is always reciprocity down the road.

First of all, we’d like to give a big shout-out to [Afrotechmods]! After a long hiatus, he has returned to YouTube with an awesome new video all about op-amp characteristics, looking at the relatively awful LM741 in particular. His particular way of explaining things has definitely helped many electronics newbies to learn new concepts quickly!
Operational amplifiers have been around for a long time. The uA741, now commonly known as the LM741, was indeed an incredible piece of technology when it was released. It was extremely popular through the 1970s and onward as it saved designers the chore of designing a discrete amplifier. Simply add a few external components, and you have a well-behaved amplifier.

One of the most exciting trends we’ve seen over the last few years is the rise of truly personal computers — that is, bespoke computing devices that are built by individuals to fit their specific needs or wants. The more outlandish of these builds, often inspired by science fiction and sporting non-traditional layouts, tend to be lumped together under the term “cyberdecks”, but there are certainly builds where that description doesn’t quite stick, including the Cyber Writer from [Darbin Orvar].

Early photography lacked the convenience of the stable roll film we all know, and instead relied on a set of processes which the photographer would have to master from film to final print. Photographic chemicals could be flammable or even deadly, and results took a huge amount of work.
The daguerreotype process of using mercury to develop pictures on polished metal, and the wet-collodion plate with its nitrocellulose solution are well-known, but as conservators at the British National Archives found out, there was another process that’s much rarer.
