Nintendo Switch gets a new upgrade

Nintendo has made a big announcement!

Four years after unleashing the Switch to the world, Nintendo has unveiled a major upgrade to its popular gaming device.

The Nintendo Switch has received an overhaul and now comes with an OLED display.

It’s an upgraded version of the handheld device with an advanced screen that now has a better display and slightly bigger size.

Besides the physical differences, the sound from the handheld unit and a wired LAN port for the base are also set to improve. The new Switch has an adjustable stand and 64 GB of internal storage.

But what is OLED?

The new machine will feature a 7-inch OLED screen.

Generally, OLED means things will look sharper in handheld mode. Couple this with the wide adjustable stand and better audio from the internal speakers, and this is an upgrade focused on players that take their Switch out and about.

OLED, which stands for organic light-emitting diode, is a light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound that emits light in response to an electric current.

However, underneath the excitement is an element of scrutiny and frustration. Many fans are concerned about how little the new console offers – rumours surrounding the ‘Nintendo Switch Pro’ have been running rampant for months now and the thought of a 4K display was perhaps more appealing than what we ended up with.

That extra kickstand

The new Switch also has what looks like a massively improved kickstand that spans the entire width of the back of the console. It can be propped up at any angle and looks far sturdier than the tiny, fragile piece of plastic that held up the old version of the Switch.

When can I get one?

The new OLED Nintendo Switch will be released in October and will retail for $350 USD.

Anthropic’s Claude AI now manages coding tasks, boosting productivity by 50% as engineers shift to oversight roles.

Anthropic has confirmed that its AI, Claude, now handles almost all coding tasks at the company. Engineers are shifting from writing code to oversight and planning, marking a major change in how software development teams operate.

Users report a productivity boost of 50 percent since implementing Claude, highlighting the potential of AI to reshape workflows and day-to-day operations. The shift raises questions about the balance between human oversight and automated code generation.

The move has also affected markets, with shares of Indian IT services companies falling as investors assess the impact on traditional tech roles. Industry leaders stress that while AI can generate code, human input remains crucial for design, review, and strategic decision-making.
