Nintendo Music became a touch more useful today, thanks to a notable update that introduces native CarPlay and Android Auto support to the app. This means you can access the music player directly from your car's screen, doing away with the need to fumble about with your phone. Now, I don't know how many folks...Nintendo MusicImpressions
Escape from Alcatraz changes starting procedures for this year's race
The swim start for this race seems chaotic---athletes jump from the San Francisco Belle into San Francisco Bay en masse, and the entire ship is emptied in less than eight minutes. From what I've read, last year's start was more rushed and disorganized than in previous years, which led to an athlete being paralyzed after someone landed directly on his head during the swim start. Needless to say, I've been fairly anxious about this since I signed up for this year's race, so it's encouraging to hear that the organizers are making changes to this year's start procedure. According to this year's athlete guide, there will be three start locations on the ship instead of the usual two, which should space people out more, and race staff will signal athletes to jump only when the landing area is clear. Hopefully these changes are enough to make the start safer for everyone.NewsTriathlon

Ahead of price rises, Nintendo announce a custom Switch 2 bundle with one of three hit games
The Nintendo Switch 2 is seeing a price rise this September (in Japan the price is going up sooner at the end of May) — so, in an effort to juice hardware sales ahead of that increase, Nintendo today announced a smart 'choose your own' bundle. It's an offer that sees the console offered along...Donkey Kong BananzaMario Kart World

Nintendo announced Monday that it will soon be renaming its online store, going from 'My Nintendo Store', to simply 'Nintendo Store'.

dBrand made a Joy-Con holder with a hinge
dBrand's new controller accessory, officially named the 'Joy-Lock Controller Holder', looks like a neat solution for those who find the default Joy-Con grip (that Nintendo include bundled with every Switch 2) to be somewhat uncomfortable. Rather than have the Joy-Con controllers positioned at a single parallel angle, this new magnetic holder lets you adjust where...dbrandNews

Just say no to murder bots
The last week of February 2026 was a crazy week for AI. The current regime tried to compel Anthropic to provide unfettered access to Claude to basically do whatever the fuck they want, to which Dario Amodei was basically like, nah, bro, we good. And while I am generally NOT a fan of tech CEOs, I was impressed with how Amodei explained the situation in a subsequent interview. It is good for companies to draw a bright red line when it comes to their technology being used to make autonomous murder ...news

Ironman updates their competition rules for 2026
This year's rules formalize the 20-meter bike draft rules for pros, which they announced last month, and clarify how they will work when age groupers interact with pros. They also lessen the penalty for having an unzipped trisuit from disqualification to a warning and a time penalty if not remedied, ban video recording during races (so leave those Meta Oakley glasses home), and rename the Physically Challenged and Intellectual Disability Open Division to Para Open Division, plus a handful of minor wording changes. They've also published a summary of the changes and an FAQ. Nothing too earth-shaking, but I'm surprised that after last year's confusing changes to the hydration rules, which were only communicated by World Triathlon through a "rule interpretation" document and which Ironman said would only be enforced for pros with "ample notice" given before they took effect for age groups, none of those rules made it into either the 2026 Ironman or World Triathlon rule books, except for the one that limits attachments to the top tube of the bike to a maximum height of 10 cm. I'm assuming this means the rest of the rules in the "rule interpretation" document are still not in effect for age groups, but it would be nice to get some clarification from Ironman one way or the other.IronmanNews
