Not saying I’d buy, as my fav feature went MIA, but I’d love it as a gift! The $129 Genki Moonbase has three mesmerizing AC outlets (US, EU, UK or AU) and four USB-C charge ports. Those top out at 140W, 100W, 30W and 30W, but you don’t lose too many watts with four gadgets plugged. My only disappointment is the light-up Moonlink cables no longer help you find ports in the dark. Genki says it removed that promise early on.
While reporting out how the Nintendo Switch 2 breaks compatibility with third-party docks, I didn’t get enough from my USB sniffer to tell if there’s truly a special new encryption/authentication chip aboard the official one. But our friends at iFixit were kind enough to send over these incredibly clean, high-res photos of the dock’s circuitry. I don’t know what I’m looking for, but perhaps you might?
The Chinese company’s developing a reputation for quality compact webcams, and now it’s joining Elgato and Ugreen by updating them to work with the Nintendo Switch 2. None of the company’s cameras currently work, but the Tiny 2, Tiny 2 Lite, Meet 2, Tiny SE, and budget $69 Meet SE will all get the updates later this year, PR manager Rain Hu tells me. (Hu says our story helped!) Here’s a list of which webcams already work.
While the PS5 Pro may get crisper graphics in 2026, PlayStation architect Mark Cerny says his next console won’t come that quick. “My time-frame is multi-year here,” he told Tom’s Guide. Both Sony’s lawyers and Microsoft’s planners once suggested next-gen consoles would arrive 2028.
Cerny also says he’s helping build AMD’s next-gen GPUs. “Big chunks of RDNA 5, or whatever AMD ends up calling it, are coming out of engineering I am doing on the project,” he said, referring to Project Amethyst.
Apex (fka Amprius) is out, and ATL (aka Amperex) is in, as Anker recalls yet another five power banks due to overheating and fire risks. That’s on top of its million-battery recall and smaller recalls in 2024 and 2023.
ATL’s a big name because it supplies Apple and Samsung, but it’s not a sure bet: switching exclusively to ATL batteries wasn’t enough to keep Samsung from recalling every single Galaxy Note 7.
Mechanism (née Deckmate) builds some of the most thoughtful and clever modular handheld accessories, with loads of mounts and adapters and a pillow to hold a handheld’s weight. Now, even though its own fancy Switch 2 case isn’t quite ready, it’s giving away this free 3D printed adapter.
Perfect fit, slides right into the dock, doesn’t block ports or vents, it even prints easier than predecessors — as long as you orient it like I show!
