Ampere Analysis forecasts the Nintendo Switch 2 to sell 13 million units in 2025, 25.5 million in 2026, and 104.3 million by 2030. The console's initial sales will be high due to existing Switch users, but sales will slow down by 2030 due to US tariffs and lack of pandemic-driven surge. The Switch 2 is not expected to face significant competition from other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck and PlayStation Portal. Ampere Analysis predicts the Switch 2 will surpass the lifetime sales of the PC gaming handheld category in its launch year. The Switch 2 software market is expected to be worth $7-8 billion over the next two years, growing to $10 billion in 2028. Nintendo's partnership with FromSoftware and third-party content will help engage users and bring the company into competition with Sony and Xbox.

A recent session at the 2025 RSAC Conference discussed home network security, highlighting the importance of maintenance for all users, not just high-profile targets. The presenter, Jennifer Minella, suggested improving security by removing devices altogether, rather than adding more layers of technology. This approach may seem counterintuitive for tech enthusiasts, but it can simplify maintenance and reduce the risk of security breaches. The author, Alaina Yee, decided to try this philosophy and has reduced their tech collection by 25% so far. They ask themselves three questions for each device: 1. Do I use it regularly? 2. Does it need to be online? 3. Can I replace it with something else? By removing or taking offline unused devices, the author feels more secure and has more time for other projects. This approach can help individuals streamline their tech collection, reduce maintenance time, and improve overall security.

The Coleco Adam computer was a home computer released in 1983 by Coleco, a toy and game console maker. It was expected to be a major player in the growing home computer market, but it failed to live up to expectations due to production issues, high defect rates, and poor design choices. The computer was discontinued in 1985, and Coleco lost nearly $50 million due to its struggles. Despite its failure, the Adam remains an interesting "might-have-been" in the history of home computers. The Adam was announced in January 1983 and promised a complete system with 80K of RAM, a full-travel keyboard, tape-based storage, a daisywheel printer, and software. However, the company underestimated the time and resources needed to bring the Adam to market, and it was released late and in limited quantities. The computer's storage device was faster than Commodore's or Atari's tape drives but slower than a disk drive, and the data packs had a tendency to unravel. The Adam's failure can be attributed to several factors, including poor execution, high defect rates, and a bad reputation. The company's decision to put the power supply in the printer was also criticized. Despite these issues, the Adam maintained a cult following, and with the addition of a disk drive and third-party peripherals, it wasn't a bad computer. In hindsight, it's possible that Coleco could have turned the Adam around with better execution and more time. However, the company's managers had a better understanding of the company's ability to execute in 1985, and they decided to discontinue the Adam. The failure of the Adam had a significant impact on the computer industry, and it's interesting to speculate about what could have been if Coleco had succeeded. The Adam's legacy is still remembered today, and it's often referred to as one of the biggest flops of the 80s. However, it's also a reminder of the challenges and risks involved in developing and releasing new technology. The story of the Coleco Adam serves as a cautionary tale for companies looking to enter new markets and develop innovative products. Overall, the Coleco Adam computer was an ambitious project that failed to live up to expectations. Despite its failure, it remains an interesting footnote in the history of home computers, and its legacy continues to be felt today.

AMD's new Radeon 9060 XT offers impressive performance for a mainstream GPU, but the company's decision to release two versions - one with 8GB of VRAM and another with 16GB - is puzzling. The 8GB model is not sufficient for modern gaming, and its performance is significantly worse than the 16GB model in many games. Benchmarks show that the 16GB model is often 20-50% faster than the 8GB model, and in some cases, the difference is even more pronounced. The 8GB model's performance is also more prone to stuttering and frame time issues. The article criticizes AMD for following Nvidia's footsteps in releasing a lower-spec version of the GPU, which can be misleading for consumers. The 8GB model is not suitable for modern gaming, and its release is seen as a way for AMD to extract more money from budget-conscious gamers. The article concludes that the 8GB version of the 9060 XT should not exist in 2025 and that consumers should avoid it unless they can get it for under $200. The benchmarks tested various games, including Doom: The Dark Ages, The Last of Us Part II, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and others, and the results consistently show that the 16GB model outperforms the 8GB model. The article also notes that the 8GB model's performance is more affected by the system's CPU and memory configuration, making it even more important to have a sufficient amount of VRAM. Overall, the article recommends that consumers opt for the 16GB version of the 9060 XT and avoid the 8GB model, which is not suitable for modern gaming.
