YouTube's suggestions have been a bit more diverse for me lately, surfacing some channels with a low subscriber count. Which is also how I've been reminded to ask, is there any adult male in the US who doesn't host a podcast?

Got my hands on the new iPhones, but don't blame me for all these scratches. Seems the case will be mandatory (again) this year.

The challenge after the excitement of the Switch 2 launch will be to keep people's attention at a time of "absolute oversupply of content," @serkantoto said. Smartphones, streaming and subscriptions are all competing for our attention, and Nintendo will have to work even harder.

Nintendo has many longtime retail investors in Japan, who have been handsomely rewarded over the past year. We spoke with about a dozen of them this summer, and only some of them own the stock because they like the games. Many just think it's a well-run business.

Among Nintendo's peculiarities: holding on to a lot of cash as a safety cushion to allow designers and engineers to make risky bets. Since the Switch, Nintendo's put all its efforts and investment into a single platform, eschewing the diversification of rivals Sony and Microsoft.

Nintendo's bananas Switch 2 sales also cost a lot in marketing, leaving profit largely unchanged. Gonna take some time for that to tick up. https://t.co/XADNCkLpA1

Nintendo Co. sold more than 6 million units of its Switch 2 console over its first seven weeks on the market, but kept its full-year forecast unchanged.
