Gearbox Software is delaying the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4, which had been set to release on October 3rd, to give the game “additional development and polish time.” The studio will provide new release timing “once we’ve fully adjusted our plans” and all digital preorders will be canceled.“We do not take this decision lightly, but are committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to our fans,” Gearbox says. Gearbox’s “hope” is to align the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 version “with the addition of cross saves,” though it’s unclear when that feature might be added.Greetings, Vault Hunters – We need to share that the release of Borderlands 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 is being delayed. We do not take this decision lightly, but are committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to our fans, and the game needs additional development…— Borderlands (@Borderlands) September 23, 2025Borderlands 4 launched on September 12th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X / S. The game has come under scrutiny for performance issues, and Gearbox released a patch last week that “improves stability” on PC. The game also reportedly demoed poorly on Nintendo Switch 2 at Gamescom and PAX West.

With home gaming consoles having a greater focus on digital downloads, the need for more hard drive space will always linger around. But even with the biggest hard drive connected to your console, eventually, you'll be forced to delete some content off of it. New games are getting larger in file sizes and taking up more space on platforms that already offer large hard drives for people to store their content. And as more new titles are developed and get updated long after their initial release, they'll hog up even more gigabytes of space.

3D printing isn’t just about cool models or fun gadgets. It can also be a serious money saver if you pick the right things to make. Over time, I’ve found that a few practical prints have paid for themselves several times over, and those small wins add up faster than you expect. These are just a handful of prints that provided the most value for the least cost, and they’re easy enough that almost anyone with a printer can create them.

This year’s magic trade-in number is 13. You'll never believe this, but TikTok has gotten ahold of an idea that's not quite right and taken off running with it.I know. I was shocked too. But the TikTok algorithm giveth, and over the past week it hath given us a whole bunch of videos promoting the idea that Apple is offering screaming trade-in offers for the iPhone 13 Pro Max - that model specifically - leading people to believe that it was the greatest iPhone of all time and Apple desperately wants them all back. The video below has been viewed almost 7 million times. And honestly? The 13 Pro was a banger. But like so many breathless theories traded on TikTok, this one just doesn …Read the full story at The Verge.

Besides its superior compatibility with smart devices and top-tier automation prowess, versatility is another killer feature of Home Assistant. After all, you can arm your Home Assistant with powerful add-ons and community-created blueprints. That’s before you include the Home Assistant Community Store, which lets you extend the functionality of your HASS server with hundreds of integrations. As someone who uses Home Assistant to control practically every IoT device (and even certain home lab devices) in my smart home, here are some of the best HACS integrations I’ve found so far.

There comes a time in any PC enthusiast's life where something goes horribly wrong with a build, either one that already exists or a system that's in its infancy. Either way, there are times when you'll need access to diagnostic tools that the BIOS or system can't provide for you, and this is where a trusty USB stick can come in handy. These 5 bootable tools should be on USB sticks within arms reach of every PC enthusiast, and have saved my bacon more times than I can count.

As a freelance tech blogger, my workflow is built on efficiency and productivity. I spend countless hours sifting through articles, papers, and web pages, and without the right tools, it's easy to get lost in a sea of information. While Zotero has been a truly incredible tool for managing my sources, I discovered that its default features were just the beginning. The real magic lies in unlocking its full potential with a few key plugins. These aren't just minor additions; they are the productivity secret weapons that have completely transformed how I research. By adding them to my toolkit, I've made my work faster, smarter, and far more organized.

There are just way too many choices in 2025 when it comes to mechanical keyboards. While it used to be pretty niche, you can now expect full lineups from major brands, and even find cheap and affordable options from companies that are lesser known. So, as you can imagine, it makes it pretty hard for one product to stand out, unless you're adding some features that are less common.

Google has announced it will reverse a major content moderation decision: YouTube will offer channels that were banned for spreading covid and election misinformation in 2020 a pathway back onto the platform.In a letter sent to the House Judiciary Committee, Alphabet's lawyers claimed that the Biden administration had previously "pressed the Company" to remove user-generated Covid-19 content that had not violated Alphabet's policies, and that the "political atmosphere" had forced their hand. "It is unacceptable and wrong when any government, including the Biden Administration, attempts to dictate how the Company moderates content," they wr …Read the full story at The Verge.

The Savant, the upcoming Apple TV Plus show about law enforcement working to prevent domestic terrorism, was slated to premiere this Friday. But the streamer has quietly pulled the series from its release slate and it’s not clear if or when it will now debut.Based on Andrea Stanley’s 2019 Cosmopolitan article “Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?“, The Savant follows as investigator Jodi Goodwin (Jessica Chastain) infiltrates an online group of US extremists who are planning a deadly terror attack. Shown in a trailer for the series released last month, Chastain’s character specializes in hunting down snipers, would-be bombers, and people who intend to commit acts of “serious violence.” She does not know what kind of plan her latest target is working on, but she’s certain that he is “out to make a statement.”It is not entirely clear what prompted Apple’s decision to suddenly pull The Savant from its previously announced premiere date. But in a statement to Deadline, the streamer said that it does still plan to release the show at an unspecified time in the future.“After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone The Savant,” Apple said. “We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date.” (Apple gave no comment when we followed up for more information.)The Savant‘s postponement comes just days after the shooting of Charlie Kirk and Disney’s initial decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air after its host made a joke about President Donald Trump’s response to the deadly event. It seems more than coincidental that The Savant‘s subject matter focuses on similar situations surrounding political violence.Given how swiftly the Trump-appointed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr began threatening Disney-owned ABC and its affiliate TV stations for commenting on the Kirk shooting, Apple might have pulled The Savant to preemptively avoid ruffling any feathers. But considering how much of a problem domestic terrorism actually is in the US — a point The Savant‘s trailer emphasizes very strongly — the show’s topicality isn’t likely to fade away anytime soon.

An image of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk is projected on a screen ahead of his public memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on September 21st, 2025. | Photo: AFP via Getty Images Hello and welcome to Regulator.According to a rough transcript of Charlie Kirk's memorial service, the word "martyr" was uttered less than 10 times. But to the 90,000-plus people watching live in Glendale, Arizona, and the 100 million who reportedly watched the livestream, it didn't have to be stated so explicitly. As every speaker at the four-hourlong service repeatedly exhorted, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA co-founder had died as a faithful servant of Christ, bringing the gospel to college students to save them from the spiritual darkness of the left. But to the emissaries from Trumpworld, Kirk was also a political ally in charge …Read the full story at The Verge.

We did not mock up these images; they’re part of the DHS video. | Images: DHS / Pokemon Yesterday afternoon, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted a piece of disgusting propaganda that glorifies the concept of a militarized police state forcefully entering people’s homes and businesses and leading them away in handcuffs and zip ties — all set to the classic Pokémon theme song and using numerous pieces of obviously copyrighted imagery from the ‘90s TV show.There’s no chance The Pokémon Company, notorious for protecting their family-friendly reputation and profits with legal action, would let that fly, right? Gotta Catch ‘Em All. pic.twitter.com/qCvflkJGmB— Homeland Security (@DHSgov) September 22, 2025Don’t hold your breath: The Pokémon Company’s former chief legal officer Don McGowan (who spent nearly 12 years there, as well as multi-year stints at Bungie and Microsoft) thinks there’s no way that his former company would sue. “Even if I was still at the company I wouldn’t touch this, and I’m the most trigger-happy CLO [Chief Legal Officer] I’ve ever met. This will blow over in a couple of days and they’ll be happy to let it,” he told IGN. Why? One reason is that like some other executives Trump has previously and corruptly leveraged, some of The Pokémon Company’s leaders personally depend on the US’s good graces: “Many of their execs in the USA are on green cards,” he said. Another reason, he says, is that The Pokémon Company doesn’t want the press. More at IGN, and you can read a previous interview with McGowan at Aftermath.As Kotaku points out, the DHS video may be showing off raids against significant criminals, but ICE is currently under fire for snatching up US citizens. The Supreme Court also recently cleared the way for ICE to stop people based on the color of their skin, the jobs they perform, and the language they speak.
