This week has been strange in the world of technology, but we are still there to help you catch up all the biggest technological news that you may have missed in the last seven days.
At the end of normal, we obtained a date and an hour for the direct presentation of the Nintendo switch 2 (April 2, 2025), and on the “ I cannot believe that we are sycrosson this end ” official porn.
Once you have caught up with it and more, make sure you consult our choices for the seven new films and television shows to broadcast this weekend (February 7).
7. Nintendo defines a Switch 2 presentation date
We now know exactly when the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct takes place on April 2. Thanks to official Nintendo official social media channels on X / Twitter, it has been confirmed that the scheduled broadcast will occur at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. and / 14h GMT / 3 p.m. CEST. This really does not surprise, because the direct presentations of Nintendo generally land in the morning for the American public and the mid-after-aftero in the United Kingdom and Europe.
As for the content of the Nintendo Switch 2 direct, the company remains tight. We do not think that it will be a deep exploration of the system specifications, but the presentation should give us a decent idea of improvements in the new material. It also seems reasonable to expect an overview of new Nintendo Switch 2 games, potentially including a better overview of this new Mario Kart The title we have seen in the Reveal official teaser.
6. The new Dyson hand vacuum turned out to be… not so new
Dyson added a portable vacuum cleaner to its range, but it turns out that the Dyson + the boat is really just a V8 stick vacuum cleaner without its wand and its heads. We couldn’t help but feel a little deceived, not only because the V8 was launched a decade ago in 2016.
This separate disappointment, the new addition has actually performed very well in our official Dyson Car + Boat car review. Although it is not the most recent Dyson stick vacuum cleaner, it is the smallest and lightest in the current range, and when opposite other sleeves, the car + the boat easily prevails . The battery life is double that of most portable vacuum cleaners, and it is powerful enough to explode the most difficult cleaning tasks.
In short, the boat because + is an ultra capable portable vacuum cleaner, we simply want us to get more from this Dyson innovation instead.
5. OPENAI fought against Deepseek R1
It didn’t take long to flex his muscles after the incredible success of the Chinese start-up Deepseek. Last week, we were talking about the concerns of the American company of AI after the launch of a completely free reasoning model, Deepseek R1, which was just as good, if not better, as O1’s O1 offer.
Now, not only has OPENAI revealed in -depth research, an incredible AI agent that works as your own personal analyst, ready to fight exam.
If that was not enough, Openai also announced this week that Chatgpt research, its competitor to Google Search, would no longer require a connection, allowing anyone to use the free AI search engine without the need to give up personal information . It is fair to say that the company held Deepseek’s attempt to personally shake the AI industry, and now it is us, consumers, who harvest the rewards.
4. Amazon teased the upgrades of Alexa
Amazon invited people to an exclusive product launch event in New York later in February. While many details of the invitation have reasonably confident to us that it would be for the upgrade of Alexa I expected that we were waiting for, Amazon explained it for us because it was discovered that the combination of five invitations you would show `Alexa ” in a cursive police.
We are not sure of what this new Alexa will be capable of, but the leaks have suggested that it will finally begin to catch up with the tastes of Chatgpt, Gemini and other LLM, who left the smart assistant in their dust.
More specifically, they tease that Alexa will be better to understand and respond to natural human speech, such as several invites presented in a row. He will also be able to perform more tasks independently as AI agent. Unfortunately, this could also cost $ 5 to $ 10 per month – but we will have to take all these details with a pinch of salt to the Amazon event in a few weeks.
3. Apple launched invitations
Apple has made improvements in slow and regular calendar applications between iOS, iPados and MacOS, but it simply facilitated the organization of parts 100 times with the brand new Apple application invites for iCloud +users.
It is designed to be a one -stop shop to create the invitation of events, defining an event description to correctly capture the atmosphere to the construction of a guest list and by managing who has rsvp’d and who Don’t come. It can even serve as a one -stop shop for customers who can see all the information on the event without everyone needing to send a message to the host the same questions individually.
ICloud + is a central part of this, because you need it to send invitations and create an event, but anyone can even receive them from people on Android.
2. Apple got angry about the first iPhone porn application
It is not a sentence that we expected to write this week, but it is 2025, so all bets are disabled. Yes, the first official porn application of the iPhone (called Hot Cub, of course) has just landed in the EU, and Apple is not the happiest – to say it slightly.
The whirlpool has arrived thanks to the EU regulations which recently opened the door to third -party iOS application stores like Altstore, where you can download the application (at least we heard). Apple quickly stressed that he is “deeply concerned about security risks” and disapproves of the controversial porn aggregator.
An additional dimension to history is that Alstore is funded by Nemeis Epic Games from Apple, which recently fought it against Fortnite. We can feel an upcoming Netflix documentary …
1. Apple robot stole our hearts
Apple has also shown its elegant (expressive and functional movement for the non -anthropomorphic robot lamp) design this week – and this real pixar lamp is wonderfully cute.
The videos presented the expressive approach of the robot’s functional encounters, which saw it perform tasks with a little flair – at one point, the robot was invited to catch something out of reach, and rather than Just realize that it was not long enough, the lamp tries to stretch several times before shaking the head and admitting that he cannot finish the task.
While playing music, he danced along the way and while helping a user build a 3D printer, he made micro-adjustments that gave air alive before playing a video of the instructions when he saw that ‘He had trouble. Apple has not announced no intention to launch this as something you can buy one day, but we hope we will one day get an ad Apple.
