You’ll still need to be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber to buy the wireless N64 controller. | Image: Nintendo The Analogue 3D finally launched late last year with four controller ports on the front supporting the N64's original wired gamepads. If you wanted to go wireless, your best option was the 8BitDo 64 which offered a similar button and joystick layout as the N64's original controllers, but with a modernized design. For a more authentic but conveniently wireless N64 experience, Analogue has released an update for the 3D today that adds support for Nintendo's modernized N64 controller.Nintendo's wireless controller was announced in 2021 alongside N64 games coming to the Nintendo Switch Online platform.

It's a really weird time in Windows 11's life right now. People have been complaining about its stability and performance, and Microsoft hasn't been doing itself any favors by breaking Windows 11 more often than ever before. At the same time, Satya Nadella stated that Windows 11 has finally breached 1 billion users, and did so about a third of a year faster than Windows 10 did.

Anna and Magnus built a life together. They had a home with three kids and a dog. Then they separated. This is where The Love That Remains begins, but as time passes and the reality of their divorce sets in, they're left to move through a future strained by their unraveling.Icelandic director Hlynur Pálmason's latest film echoes the radiant visual language of his previous, the 19th-century period piece Godland and contemporary drama A White, White Day. And though its subject matter is heavy, the tone here is admittedly lighter. The aforementioned dog, Panda, even took home the Palm Dog Award at Cannes this year, which - and I'm being very …Read the full story at The Verge.

What responsibility do you have to speak up about bad things happening in the world? Does that responsibility change when speaking up might affect your business? What about if you're a sports creator, or the moderator of a deeply NSFW subreddit? What about if you're just a little ol' phone website? Ultimately, everyone has to make those decisions for themselves.

In case you missed it, we recently overhauled our guides to the best budget robot vacuums and the best mopping vacs, both of which feature a slate of new picks from Roborock, Narwal, Dreame, and others. Dyson’s 360 Vis Nav Robot Vacuum didn’t technically make the cut, though it was once one of our top picks for carpets. And now through the rest of today, January 30th, it’s on sale at Woot with a two-year warranty for an all-time low of $279.99 ($720 off).Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuumWhere to Buy: $999.99 $349.99 at Amazon $999.99 $279.99 at Woot $999.99 $399.99 at DysonIf you have a relatively simple floor plan with lots of high-pile carpet, Dyson’s D-shaped robovac is worth considering. It can traverse obstacles up to 21 millimeters high and offers a whopping 65 air watts of suction — twice that of many robovacs — rendering it one of the most powerful models our resident smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, has ever tested. Its massive roller brush is great at getting into corners and reaching the edges of your rooms given its location at the front of the vac, and it’s outfitted with a huge 500ml dustbin that’s easy to remove via an integrated handle.The 360 Vis Nav isn’t without shortcomings, though. For starters, it doesn’t come with an auto-empty dock and only manages about 65 minutes of runtime, which is about half that of most models, including many of the budget bots we’ve tested. It also lacks AI-powered obstacle avoidance, so it won’t be able to discern what it’s avoiding, increasing the risk of it tripping up while navigating your home. The lack of more advanced features could certainly be a dealbreaker for some, but if pure power is what you’re after, Dyson’s last-gen robot vacuum is easily the best option for the price — especially right now.Read our hands-on impressions.More deals and discounts of noteGoogle’s TV Streamer (4K) is on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $79.99 ($20 off), which is about $5 shy of its best price to date. If you don’t already own a smart TV, Google’s speedy Chromecast follow-up is a great way to access all your favorite streaming apps. It supports 4K HDR with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, along with a handy Find My feature for the remote. You also get built-in support for Google Assistant and one of the best interfaces available in a streaming device right now, one that lets you peruse content recs across a myriad of streaming services. Read our review.If you’re looking to “brick” your phone in the best way possible, you can grab a pair of Brick’s NFC-enabled squares directly from Brick for $106.20 (about $12 off). Basically, you use the Brick app to select which apps and websites you want to block, and then, once you tap your phone to the small device, you’ll be restricted from using said apps until you tap the device again. It’s not a perfect solution for cutting back on screen time — you still get a handful of “emergency unbrick” codes to manually override blocked apps, after all — but adding a little physical friction between you and your phone certainly isn’t a bad thing.

The posable, 1,2010-piece book nook is a nice little homage to Durin’s Bane, aka the fiery beast that attacks Gandalf in The Fellowship of the Ring. It also comes with a minifig of the aforementioned wizard, along with his sword (ahem, Glamdring) and several movie-themed accessories that let you play out the famed showdown on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm.

For most home lab builders, GPUs are somewhat of an afterthought. CPUs virtualize cleanly, storage can be sliced and replicated with relative ease, and networking is only as complicated as you need it to be. GPUs, on the other hand, either work flawlessly, or passthrough has so many issues you might as well not even bother.

Microsoft's PowerToys team is contemplating building a top menu bar for Windows 11, much like Linux, macOS, or older versions of Windows. The menu bar, or Command Palette Dock as Microsoft calls it, would be a new optional UI that provides quick access to tools, monitoring of system resources, and much more.Microsoft has provided concept images of what it's looking to build, and is soliciting feedback on whether Windows users would use a PowerToy like this. "The dock is designed to be highly configurable," explains Niels Laute, a senior product manager at Microsoft. "It can be positioned on the top, left, right, or bottom edge of the scree …Read the full story at The Verge.

The moment my notes app stopped working on a train with a bad signal, I realized how fragile my entire productivity system had become. I was heading into a three-hour journey with a laptop fully charged and a head full of ideas, ready to sketch out a project roadmap. But Notion refused to load my workspace. Google Docs wouldn't sync. Even my task manager sat there spinning, stuck in a loading state, holding my to-do list hostage until I found Wi-Fi.

NotebookLM has been getting a lot of attention over the past year or so, and it’s easy to see why. It can completely transform the way you interact with study materials, documents, or even personal notes. However, like with all AI tools, it’s only as good as the way you use it. It’s easy to open a notebook and start prompting it like ChatGPT, expecting a conversational, back-and-forth style with reasoning and explanations delivered as a person would.
