You don't have to take great pains to preserve your Switch to ensure that you can still play your favorite games on it years and years from now. Nintendo has revealed in its earnings report that the upcoming successor to the Switch will have backwards compatibility and will be able to run games made for the current console. In addition, Switch Online will also be available on the Switch 2, which means your saves stored on the cloud will be carried over and you'll be able to play NES, SNES and Game Boy titles on the new console.
Nintendo explained that it's making Switch Online available on the upcoming console, because it thinks it's important for the company's future to "carry over the good relationship" it has built with its more than 100 million annual playing users to the new device. The main way to do so is to make use of the Nintendo Account, which ties a user's history to one account and enables the company to "maintain a continuous relationship" with them across console generations. Before the Nintendo Account was introduced, Nintendo had no easy way to carry a user's history and purchases over to the next console. "As a result, our relationship with the consumers was interrupted when a new system was purchased," it said.
The company promised to reveal more information about the Switch 2 "at a later date," though it didn't say when exactly. In a recent event where we thought the new Switch could be announced, Nintendo launched an alarm clock instead. Based on its earnings results, it looks like people could be choosing to wait for the new console instead of buying the current Switch: The company had to downgrade its sales forecast for the fiscal year due to a big decline in console sales compared to the same periods last year.
This is Furukawa. At today's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well. Further information about…

I swear by my laptop stand for two simple reasons. The first is that it elevates my laptop so I can look at the screen without straining my neck. The second is that it allows my laptop to occupy less space on my desk, accommodating for the large ergonomic keyboard I have. Broadly, laptop stands have done just these two things – elevating and space-conserving. The CASA Hub Stand Ultra does some more.
Aside from elevating and angle-adjusting your laptop (or tablet), this stand gives you a dedicated mount for your phone, has a 360° swivel joint for adjusting your gadgets even more, and packs the ultimate accessory – a USB-C multiport hub to give your laptop, tablet, and phone access to extra ports like USB-A, HDMI, and even ethernet.
Crafted by ADAM elements and a winner of the 2024 Red Dot Design Award, this laptop stand and hub doubles as a complete workstation upgrade, reshaping how we organize our devices. Built from durable aluminum, the stand’s perforated plate naturally keeps devices cool, optimizing performance even during intensive work sessions. With an impressive weight capacity of 13.2 lbs (6kg), it handles laptops up to 17 inches comfortably. The stability and strength built into this stand means users can rely on it without constant micro-adjustments.
The stand comes with a telescopic arm that elevates your device, and an angle-adjusting friction hinge that lets you set it at any angle you want, but where it differs from most $40-50 stands is the inclusion of a smooth, 360-degree rotating base that lets you face your device anywhere. The adjustable arm ranges from 2.1 to 16.5 inches, elevating your device over 1 foot for better visibility too, allowing you to turn your regular work setup into a standing one, should you choose. For shared workspaces, the rotation feature allows easy screen sharing, adding functionality where traditional stands can’t compete.
Swivel the MagSafe phone stand out, and you’ve got a laptop stand that holds your phone too. The folks at ADAM elements call it their Intelligent Magnetic System (iMS), which also comes baked into the laptop stand part itself, allowing you to safely and securely mount a laptop or tablet on the main stand, and a MagSafe-friendly phone on the swivel-out side stand. Of course, you don’t have to necessarily use Apple devices with the CASA Hub Stand Ultra – a protective lip on the bottom of the stand holds any laptop or tablet, preventing it from falling. For phones, a simple MagSafe sticker easily makes it mount-compatible.
The CASA Hub Stand Ultra’s pièce de résistance, however, is the snap-on multiport hub that gives your device a connectivity boost. The hub’s an add-on that you can either use with the stand, or use independently, making it pretty flexible depending on how you work. This modular hub offers USB-C Power Delivery, HDMI up to 4K at 60Hz, USB-A, and even an RJ-45 Ethernet port. Designed to serve multiple needs at once, the hub handles data transfer, high-resolution video output, and device charging. It’s detachable and magnetic too, which means it can snap onto the stand as well as onto any other magnetic surface like the side of your desk.
The stand’s minimal design makes it a worthy add to your WFH or WFO setup. It’s all-metal, with perforations and cutouts that not only help cut weight but also help with heat dissipation, allowing air to naturally circulate around your laptop, preventing overheating even during long, demanding sessions. And with silicone pads lining the base, the stand won’t slip or scratch your desk surface, allowing you to adjust or reposition it without fear of damage or instability.
Despite all the functionality, the stand still remains fairly compact and lightweight, measuring a mere 53mm (a little over 2 inches) when folded down, and weighing 3.4 lbs or roughly as much as your average laptop. The CASA Hub Stand Ultra secured a Red Dot Design Award for its balance of form and functionality, while also holding the unique distinction of being the only stand we’ve seen that packs its own detachable USB-C multiport hub, and has the ability to adjust your laptop’s height to over 16 inches. Perfect for people looking to reduce desk clutter, or people wanting to dabble with standing work setups, the CASA Hub Stand Ultra starts at $172.57, and comes in silver and space-grey, letting you choose a stand to match your laptop or tablet perfectly!
New details are continuing to surface about the hacking of US telecom companies by a China-linked group that targeted US officials and campaign staffers. Now, The Wall Street Journalreports that the hackers’ access was even greater than what’s been previously reported, and that the communications of “potentially thousands of Americans” may have been impacted.
Last week, The New York Times reported that FBI investigators suspected call logs and SMS messages had been accessed by the hacking group, known as “Salt Typhoon.” The group reportedly targeted the phones of diplomats and government officials, as well as people associated with both presidential campaigns.
Now, The WSJ is reporting that the hackers, who were “likely” working for a Chinese intelligence agency, spent “eight months or more” in US telecom infrastructure, and that they may have been able to scoop up the data of thousands of people who were in contact with the targeted individuals.
The Journal confirms earlier reports that the hackers “limited their targets to several dozen select, high-value political and national-security figures.” But the hackers, who reportedly exploited routers used by telecom firms, had “the ability to access the phone data of virtually any American who is a customer of a compromised carrier — a group that includes AT&T and Verizon.” Both AT&T and Verizon declined to comment on the report.
