It sounds ridiculous when I say it out loud: A Chinese company wants to be audited by the US government, and it’s asking you for help!

Want to tell Siri (no, not that Siri, I mean the goofy guy below) what he should make next? You could already suggest ideas on Discord, but now there’s a Feedbear page to vote up ideas.

Almost every single thing in Friday’s executive order is about uplifting the drone industry and cutting through red tape (at the potential expense of safety), not about cracking down on the China-based leading manufacturer of drones. But as I noted last week, Trump doesn’t need to lift a finger. The ban on future DJI products happens automatically unless he steps in.

Our 8BitDo pads definitely needed them (they’re live!), and GuliKit has now announced its KK3 Max needs this one to unlock Amiibo support. (Yes, it’s the rare quality 3rd-party pad with working NFC for Nintendo’s figurines, and it’s in our best controller guide.)

Nintendo made the original Switch’s game cards taste terrible, coating them in a bitter chemical called denatonium benzoate. So we had to know... do Nintendo Switch 2 cartridges taste better? Time for a taste test! And while we’re at it, why not add a button battery coated in the same stuff, a Nintendo DS cartridge, and a 3DS cartridge too? Don’t try this at home, kids.

We aren’t having great luck, and Reddit’s seeing mixed results too. Though Nintendo assured the public that “you can use... any compatible USB-C camera you’d like,” our USB-C toting Logitech Brio 4K, Opal Tadpole and DJI OP3 aren’t working, even while a nine-year-old Logitech C922 with USB-A does when docked.

I got in line shortly after 9pm, and finished shortly after 11. The very last customers in line are about to check out now. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tack on a camera or gamepad to my order: Best Buy had plenty of the former, but its system wouldn’t let them sell any cams until tomorrow... and the latter sold out.
