The Nintendo Switch 2 is here, and that means a whole lot more people will eventually need a new microSD card. While the new console comes with 256GB of built-in storage — eight times more than the original Switch and four times more than the Switch OLED — its improved performance means that some games will chew up a ton of that space. Cyberpunk 2077 is a 59GB download, for... Read more ›

The Google VP claims traffic from search to websites is "relatively stable" and that click quality has increased. Reid's... Read more ›
