This week was strange in the world of technology, but we are still here to help you catch up with all the biggest technological news that could have been lost in the last seven days.
In the normal end, we obtained a date and time for the direct presentation of Nintendo's Switch 2 (April 2, 2025), and in the 'I cannot believe that we are Syaing this end', Apple became nervous for the first of the iPhone application Official porn.
Once you have put all that and more into account, be sure to watch our selections for the seven new films and television programs to broadcast this weekend (February 7).
7. Nintendo establishes a Switch 2 presentation date
Now we know exactly when the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is happening on April 2. Thanks to the official Nintendo social networks channels in X / Twitter, it has been confirmed that the anticipated transmission will occur at 6 AM PT / 9AM ET / 2PM GMT / 3PM CEST. This does not really surprise, since Nintendo's direct presentations usually land in the morning for the American public and mid -afternoon in the United Kingdom and Europe.
As for the content of Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the company is still tight lips. We do not believe it is a deep exploration of the system specifications, but the presentation should give us a decent idea of the improvements of the new hardware. It also seems reasonable to wait for a look at the new Nintendo Switch 2 games, which can include a better view of that new Mario Kart Title we saw in the official revelation teaser.
6. Dyson's new portable vacuum cleaner turned out to be … not so new
Dyson has added a hand vacuum to its range, but it turns out that the Dyson Car+Boat is really just a v8 stick emptiness without its wand and floor heads. We could not help feeling a little deceived, and not only because the V8 was launched a decade ago, in 2016.
Leaving aside that disappointment, the new incorporation actually worked very well in our official Dyson Car+Boat review. Although it is not the newest Dyson Stick, it is the smallest and slight current range, and when it faces others by hand, the car+boat is easily earned. The battery life is twice the majority of hand vacuners, and is powerful enough to exploit even the most challenging cleaning tasks.
In summary, the automobile+boat is an ultrapable hand vacuum, we just wish we got more of that innovation of registered brand Dyson.
5. OpenAi defended against Depseek R1
Operai did not take long to flex his muscles after the incredible success of the new Deepseek company. Last week, we were talking about the concerns of the US company. UU. After the launch of a completely free reasoning model, Deepseek R1, which was just as good, if not better, than O1 of Openai offer.
Now, not only Openai has revealed a deep investigation, an incredible AI agent who functions as his own personal analyst, ready to address any research that throws him and returns with results, but a deep investigation has also eclipsed all rivals in The toughest AI in the world. exam.
If that were not enough, OpenAi also announced this week that the search for Chatgpt, its competitor for the search for Google, would no longer require a login, allowing anyone to use the free the search engine without the need to give up any personal information. It is fair to say that the company took Deepseek's attempt to shake the AI industry personally, and now we are consumers, who are reaping the rewards.
4. Amazon made fun of Alexa updates
Amazon invited people to an exclusive product launch event in New York City at the end of February. While many details of the invitation made us reasonably sure that it would be for the long -awaited Alexa Ai update that we have been waiting for, Amazon explained how it was discovered that combining five invitations would show you 'Alexa' in an italic source.
We are not sure what this new Alexa will be capable, but the leaks have suggested that it will finally begin to catch up with Chatgpt, Gemini and others LLM, who have left the intelligent assistant in their dust.
More specifically, they make fun that Alexa will be better to understand and respond to natural human speech, as multiple indications presented in a row. You can also perform more homework as an AI agent. Unfortunately, it could also cost $ 5- $ 10 per month, but we will have to take all these details with a pinch of salt to the Amazon event in a couple of weeks.
3. Apple launched invitations
Apple has been making slow and stable improvements in the application of calendar in iOS, Ipados and Macos, but only facilitated the organization of 100 times easier with the new Apple application invite for icloud+users.
It is designed to be a unique window to create the invitation of the event, from establishing a description of the event to correctly capture the environment to the construction of a guest list and administer who has RSVP and who does not come. It can even serve as an unique easy store for guests who can see all the information of the event without everyone needing to send a message to the same questions individually.
Icloud+ is a central part of this, since it needs it to send invitations and create an event, but anyone can receive them even people on Android.
2. Apple got angry about the first porn application of the iPhone
That is not a sentence that we hope to write this week, but it is 2025, so all bets are disabled. Yes, the first official porn application of the iPhone (called Hot Tub, of course) has just landed in the EU, and Apple is not better satisfied, to put it gently.
The jacuzzi arrived thanks to the EU regulations that recently opened the door to third -party iOS Application stores such as Altstore, where you can download the application (or so we have heard). Apple hastened to point out that it is “deeply concerned about security risks” and disapproves of the controversial porn aggregator.
An additional dimension of history is that Altstore is funded by the Epic Games of Apple's Nemesis, who recently fought him against Fortnite. We can feel a Netflix documentary that comes …
1. Apple's robot stole our hearts
Apple also showed its elegant lamp (expressive and functional movement design for non -anthropomorphic robot) this week, and this real -life pixar lamp is wonderfully beautiful.
The videos exhibited the expressive approach of the robot and the robot, which saw him perform tasks with a little style: at one time, the robot was asked to grab something out of reach, and instead of simply realizing that it was not Long enough, the lamp tries to stretch several times before shaking your head and admitting that you cannot complete the task.
While playing music, he danced, and while helping a user to build a 3D printer, he made microjustes that made him look alive before playing a video of the instructions when he saw that they were fighting. Apple has not announced any plan to launch this as something that can buy one day, but we hope that one day we will get an Apple Ilamp's ad.
