Alongside new information about the Switch 2, Nintendo officially announced a new peripheral the Switch 2 Camera.

You cant talk about the manosphere without mentioning Andrew Tate. The British-American influencer and former professional kickboxer built his platform by promoting misogynistic ideasclaiming women should be subservient to men, suggesting rape victims should bear responsibility for their assaults, and openly describing acts of domestic violence.The manosphere, which birthed Tate and others like him, is a network of right-wing influencers and grifters who peddle misogyny, toxic masculinity, and regressive gender rolesoften aimed at radicalizing disaffected young men. And if Tate and his brother Tristans warm welcome from American right-wing podcasters is any indication, this ideology is no longer confined to the darkest corners of the internet. Its creeping into the mainstream.Recently, the Tate brothers were allowed to leave Romania after prosecutors lifted their travel restrictions in late February. The two remain under investigation there for allegedly forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking, trafficking of minors, and money laundering. Shortly after, they landed in the United States. Around the same time, an ex-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles accusing Andrew of beating and choking her during their relationship.Now, a new report from Media Matters reveals how several pro-Trump and manosphere-aligned podcasters eagerly welcomed Tate during his U.S. visit. Between February and March, he appeared on the Hodgetwins podcast, the Nelk Boys Full Send, Sean Kellys Digital Social Hour, Patrick Bet-Davids PBD Podcast, and Candace with Candace Owens.These interviews were shared widelyfull episodes uploaded to YouTube, Rumble, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify drew more than 9 million views. Shorter clips posted to social media racked up an additional 30.8 million.The Nelk BoysCanadian-American YouTubers who began with prank content but now lean into right-wing politicseven walked into a UFC Power Slap event alongside the Tate brothers. There, UFC president and Trump ally Dana White greeted them with a hug and said, Welcome to the States, boys.The current online media ecosystem incentivizes outrage and extremismand that is exactly what we saw when MAGA and manosphere podcasts platformed Andrew Tate when he returned to the U.S., Kayla Gogarty, research director at Media Matters, tells Fast Company. These podcasters allowing Tate to push extreme misogyny and hate to their large followings, and then amplifying clips to millions more, is concerning, as young men that follow these shows can be radicalized down a path that could lead to abuse and violence against women.Not everyone on the right embraced Tates return. Socially conservative figures such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have voiced disgust over the support hes received. Still, prominent MAGA personalitiesincluding White House counselor Alina Habba, Candace Owens, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump Jr.remain in his corner.

On Wednesday, Tesla reported its largest drop in delivery numbers to date, and a 13% drop in sales since the beginning of the year, in part due to backlash against CEO Elon Musks role in the U.S. government, coupled with growing competition in the EV market.However, by midday, shares of the EV maker started moving higher following an unconfirmedPolitico reportthat Musk may soon step away from his role in the Trump administration. That report said Trump insiders and allies have become increasingly frustrated with his unpredictability and see him as a political liability. But the retreat is also likely the result of the hit his businesses have taken.Heres what to know about the latest Tesla delivery numbers and sales, as well as how the companys stock is doing today.Tesla first-quarter sales and delivery numbers plummetA look at the numbers shows Tesla posted its worst sales in nearly three years. It delivered 336,681 cars in the first quarter, down from 387,000 in the first three months of 2024 and less than in any period since the second quarter of 2022. The EV maker missed analyst estimates of as low as 350,000 vehicles.Analysts had predicted lower sales following poor European numbers and because Tesla temporarily closed some factories to update the new Model Y. On Tuesday,Electrek reportedTesla has $200 million worth of unsold Cybertrucks sitting in its inventory.Tesla sales in Europe and China are downWednesdays sales report follows data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, which confirms Tesla sales fell 49% in Europe in the first two months of the quarter, despite the fact that overall EV sales in Europe were up 28%, pointing to a loss of the electric vehicle market share.Another reason for the drop can be attributed to European Tesla boycotts over Musks controversial political views, including his support for Europes far-right parties.Yet, Europe isnt the largest market for electric vehicles, China is. China is also Teslas second-largest market after the U.S., where it now faces growing competition from other EV automakers. Chinese automaker BYDreported sales of more than 416,000 fully electric passenger vehicles in the quarter, up 39% from the previous year, overtaking Tesla as the worlds largest seller of EVs.What does this mean for TSLA stock?Shares of Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) fell about 2% in early trading and are now up about 4% in midday trading at the time of this writing, due in part to that Politico report that Musk may be soon moving on from the White House.While Tesla stock started the year strong, and nearly doubled after the presidential election, it has lost 44% since Decembers all-time high. In 2025, the stock is down over 35% year to date, taking a major hit due to the Musk backlash, including protests at Tesla dealerships in the form of Tesla Takedowns.Arecent CNN pollfound 53% of Americans rate Musk negatively, with only 35% giving him a positive rating, making him even more unpopular than Vice President JD Vance (who has a 44% unfavorable rating).

I have a controversial opinion around wireless charging it sucks. What is the point of wireless charging technology if we still need separate chargers for separate devices? Sure, weve banished most cables, but at the cost of carrying around three separate chargers just to survive the day a wireless charger for a phone doesnt charge your Apple Watch, and the charger for the Apple Watch doesnt charge your AirPods. That bittersweet chaos is exactly where the Mag 360 Qi2 3-in-1 Foldable Travel Charging Station from ADAM elements steps in, and frankly, it might be one of the few charging gadgets that actually respects your sanity.The Mag 360 hits you first with simplicity: one dock, three devices, zero fuss. Built to handle an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods (MagSafe included, naturally), this station condenses the usual cable spaghetti into a folded metal-and-fabric rectangle that easily slips into your bag.Designer: ADAM ElementsClick Here to Buy Now: $83.3 $119 (30% off, use coupon code 30YANKOMG360). Hurry, deal ends in 48-hours.The 3-in-1 charging apparatus sports a slick, sturdy, foldable design that shuts into a puck-shaped format when not in use. Open it up and youre greeted with a Z-shaped silhouette that greets you with not 2, but 3 different charging zones. One primary one on top with built-in MagSafe for your iPhone, one on the back for an Apple Watch, and one on the base, for either your AirPods or a second smartphone with wireless charging capabilities. One charger. One cable. Simple and sophisticated, just like I expect my charging solutions in 2025 to be.Dual 15W fast-charging zones on the top and the bottom mean your iPhone and even a second Qi2-enabled phone wont be left crawling at 5W speeds like most budget-friendly docks. Were talking proper fast charging, where you can top up two phones at once without one hogging all the juice. Considering how many of us swap between personal and work devices daily, this is a quiet but crucial win. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch gets its own attention with a stand that doesnt lock you into a single viewing angle its stepless adjustment lets you tilt it to your liking, whether youre watching it double as a nightstand clock or just admiring the charging animation for kicks.The base rotates 360 (explaining the name Mag 360), allowing you to quickly pivot the charger to face you or face away when you dont want to stare at unnecessary notifications. Its smooth but reassuringly stable, letting you spin the entire setup to face you without threatening to dump your devices onto the floor. The magnetic charging zone for the phone also doubles as a mini stand, propping up your iPhone at an angle perfect for doom scrolling, binge-watching, or peeking at notifications while you pretend to focus on work. The rear-axis stand adjusts as well, giving you fine-tuned control over height and tilt, adapting easily to hotel desks, coffee shop tables, or cramped airplane trays.Aesthetically, the Mag 360 avoids the trap of looking too techy. Instead, it leans into a more industrial-modern vibe with its metal skeleton paired with a heat-resistant, stain-proof fabric that feels soft but tough much like the best travel gear. The craftsmanship is unmistakable, and when folded, it gives off the vibe of a pocket-sized mechanical puzzle rather than an obvious charging dock. Its the kind of thing you could pull out in an airport lounge without feeling like youre setting up a workstation in public.Hidden beneath all that polish is a solid set of safety measures. Foreign object detection, overcharge protection, overheating control, and short-circuit safeguards work quietly in the background exactly where they should be. No loud flashing LEDs or alerts, just the quiet confidence that your devices arent being cooked or drained unnecessarily.Folded down, its quite literally the size of a puck, making it far more bag-friendly than the multi-brick charger setups weve all accepted as normal. Yet, when unfolded, it opens like a tiny stage set for your devices organized, elegant, and surprisingly satisfying to interact with.My ultimate goal is for wireless chargers to be as invisible as air, charging devices regardless of where they are and how many they are. Obviously, thats a wacky utopia that probably wont exist for a while, but until then, the Mag 360 is honestly versatile enough to feel like its making the best of the tech we have today. I used to loathe carrying multiple chargers with me, so the idea of having one dock do everything is heaven-sent. Whether for charging devices, stowing them away when not in use, or even relying on the MagSafe feature to use the Mag 360 as a makeshift stand for watching YouTube or TikTok!Click Here to Buy Now: $83.3 $119 (30% off, use coupon code 30YANKOMG360).

Representational imageSamsung has filed a patent for what could be the most ambitious foldable design to datea quad-fold smartphone featuring four interconnected panels and three hinges. The documentation, labeled under the title ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING BENDABLE DISPLAY, signals Samsungs continued dominance in foldable display innovation, staking a claim beyond the current tri-fold concepts from competitors such as Huawei and TCL.As reported by SamMobile, the patent reveals a device structured with four panels connected horizontally via three hinges, each supporting a continuous flexible display. Unlike outward-folding designs seen in some of Huaweis prototypes, Samsung opts for an inward-folding configuration. This format shields the display when folded, which could mitigate issues related to screen durabilitystill one of the major concerns for foldable devices. Such a design would likely make use of Samsungs proprietary Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), which has progressively improved since its debut on the Galaxy Z Fold series, offering enhanced scratch resistance and reduced crease visibility.Designer: SamsungRepresentational imageIts all in the layout. Three hinges divide four distinct panels, meaning the device could morph through multiple configurationspocket-friendly phone, dual-fold for notifications, tri-fold for tablet duties, and finally, a full unfold for productivity overkill. Technically, however, this quad-fold concept introduces substantial complexity. Managing the mechanical strain across three hinges, while preserving uniform display tension and longevity, will be challenging. However, Samsung Displays experience with flexible OLEDs and hinge durability testing could make this feasible. If each panel measures approximately 6 inches diagonally, the fully unfolded device could reach 12 inches or more, eclipsing even tablets like the iPad Pro and approaching the size of compact laptops while retaining the portability of a smartphone when folded.This device is sort of a potential shift in the usability paradigm. A quad-fold would allow a variety of usage modes. Users could adopt a single-panel phone mode, a dual-panel intermediate, a tri-panel for tablet-like applications, and the full quad-panel layout for productivity scenarios, multitasking, or immersive media consumption. Such versatility could address the current limitations of foldables, where most devices primarily offer two modesphone and tabletwithout much nuance in between. And lets not pretend Samsung isnt strategically nudging Apple here. Cupertino hasnt even officially admitted it wants to fold anything, and Samsungs already diagramming folding sandwiches. Huaweis tri-fold prototype might hit the market first, but Samsung seems to be saying, Why stop at three?Image Credits: World Intellectual Property OrganizationBut before you start planning your next upgrade, a sobering note: this might be little more than strategic patenting. Samsung has a history of filing forward-thinking designs to build a defensive moat, not necessarily to ship every concept. Still, the fact that these schematics exist, complete with hinge mechanics and potential use-case scenarios, tells us the company is at least exploring the limits of foldable tech far beyond its existing Z Fold lineup.Samsungs quad-fold also subtly outmaneuvers Huawei and TCL by focusing on inward folding. Why does this matter? Huaweis outward-folding designs, while flashy, expose the flexible display to the wildscratches, dust, and the occasional existential dread of dropping it. Samsungs inward-fold protects the fragile display like a medieval knight shielding its heart. With Samsung Display likely at the helm of this engineering feat, expect Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) iterations to reinforce this massive canvas, possibly with even better scratch resistance and less visible crease lines than the current Z Fold 5.Representational imageThe real question is whether Samsung will commercialize this in the Galaxy Z Fold family or launch it as a new series entirely. A Galaxy Z Flex Ultra, perhaps? There was a news-nugget in the past that Samsung would call this the Galaxy W because of the letters 4-line shape, but it seems like Samsungs ditched that nomenclature. However, considering Samsungs playbook, we might see a tri-fold device emerge firstsince the same patent also showcases a triple-panel, dual-hinge design with USB-C and triple cameras. This could be Samsungs immediate answer to Huawei and TCL while the quad-fold remains in the lab, terrifying hinge designers worldwide.At the end of the day, Samsungs quad-fold is just a concept, although the highly detailed patent leads me to believe theyve got a working prototype somewhere in their R&D division thats just waiting to *ahem* get left behind in a cab the way Googles engineers tend to do with their phones. The design, at least on paper, is complex and probably hideously expensive (think Galaxy Z Fold Ultra pricing, $2,000+ easy), poised to frustrate and delight tech enthusiasts in equal measure. Whether it dethrones anyone or simply creates a new throne entirely, Samsungs ready to bend the rules, literally.Representational imageThe post Samsung Is Working On Worlds First Quad-Fold Smartphone To Directly Challenge Huawei and TCL first appeared on Yanko Design.

The remainder of Apple CEO Tim Cook's Restricted Stock Units couldn't have vested at a better time, with 108,136 shares sold just before tariffs were announced.Apple's stock is on the way down after the tariff announcementIt's not hard to figure out when Apple CEO Tim Cook is about to make a bunch of money, as his Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) sales take place at the same time every year. He made $16 million selling stocks in April 2024 and $50 million later that October.Wednesday's sale was shared via an SEC filing, which shows 108,136 shares were sold. That netted Cook $24 million just as President Donald Trump stepped out on stage to announce tariffs. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Olson Kundig is designing a new art museum for Seattle University, a private school with more than 7,000 students. The project was announced recently with an anticipated 2028 opening. Both parties say construction is expected to begin next year.Image rendering courtesy Seattle UniversitySome community members have expressed concerns with the demolition of the Lee Center for the Arts at the site, which fronts 12th Avenue. However, the university and Olson Kundig intend this to become a new gateway to the campus. As primarily a learning space, it will form a key part of the newly established Cornish College of the Arts while serving the Jesuit educational philosophy at SU.Image rendering courtesy Seattle UniversityThe project, which can also support student musical performances and theater, follows the Burke Museum at the University of Washington, as well as a multi-wing addition to the Tacoma Art Museum from 2019.

While the Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a host of improvements over its predecessor, Nintendo doesnt seem keen on wanting to change too much of the consoles UI. As spotted by ResetEra user Truno, it looks like the main home screen UI on the Switch 2 will be nearly identical to what we got with the Switch.This means that games will once more take center stage in the home screen in a row of squares, with more options for the system, including controller settings, general settings and the Nintendo eShop, being available through smaller circular tiles under the games. In terms of themes, the Switch 2 will seemingly once again feature only Basic White and Basic Black themes.The only thing in the Switch 2s UI that is setting it apart from its predecessor, aside from the fact that the UI has many finer details and higher resolution glyphs and icons, is the fact that the border indicating the players selection is now much more colourful. In contrast, the original Switch UI used a darker border to signify a players selection.The Switch 2 will be coming to stores on June 5.
