The Mario company wants its money back with interest according to a newly filed lawsuit. Nintendo of America is suing the U.S. Treasury Department, Homeland Security, and Customs & Border Protection to get back money it paid the U.S. government as a result of President Donald Trump’s controversial tariffs that were deemed illegal by the Supreme Court last month.
“Nintendo of America has standing to sue because it is the importer of record for goods that were subject to the tariffs. Regardless, this lawsuit is necessary because, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling and Defendants’ concession regarding the necessity of refunds, Nintendo and other importers who paid the illegally collected IEEPA duties are not guaranteed the refund to which they are entitled absent this Court providing such relief,” - Nintendo’s lawyers explained in the lawsuit.
The company also claims it has directly “suffered injury” from those tariffs. In April 2025, Nintendo was forced to delay pre-orders of the Nintendo Switch 2 and later raised prices on some accessories. In response, the company is seeking a “prompt refund, with interest” of the tariffs it has paid.

Nvidia has adopted a new variable compensation plan for fiscal 2027 that sets a target cash bonus of $4 million for CEO Jensen Huang. The plan, approved by Nvidia's compensation committee on March 2, ties executive cash bonuses to the achievement of specific revenue goals for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.
The filing comes after Nvidia last month reported better-than-expected results for the January quarter and forecast current-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates, underscoring expectations that heavy spending by Big Tech on AI processors will continue. The world's most valuable company said it expects fiscal first-quarter sales of $78 billion.

Lenovo Group Ltd. and other consumer electronics companies showcased physical AI products with humanlike characteristics at the MWC Barcelona conference. The products included Lenovo's AI Workmate, a desktop robotic arm with a display and oversized eyes, and Magic Bay Tiko, a magnetic attachment that serves as an animated AI assistant.
The gadget, called the AI Workmate, is intended to plug into business environments, recognizing users by their appearance and voice and surfacing pertinent information.
Lenovo’s Magic Bay Tiko is a magnetic attachment. It clips to the top of a laptop and serves as an animated AI assistant. The latest edition is an anthropomorphic cloud that looks over the user’s work and responds to voice-based commands and queries. The gadget doesn’t enhance the AI capabilities, but it adds a character to the experience — which can sip coffee or read a book while you’re not interacting with it.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday aimed at fighting cybercrime — including fraud and extortion — directing officials to identify robust tools to combat transnational criminal organizations preying on American families, businesses and infrastructure.
“The United States has capabilities that the rest of the world can only begin to imagine,” Trump said in the document. “Our warriors in cyberspace are working everyday to ensure that anyone who would seek to harm America will pay the steepest and most terrible price.”
The directive calls for a “comprehensive review to determine what operational, technical, diplomatic, and regulatory tools could be improved to combat transnational criminal organizations” that carry out cybercrimes and “predatory schemes,” according to the White House. The order comes as Trump issued a national cyber strategy that said it would decrease regulation and increase the use of AI in a bid to bolster US defenses.

Australians attempting to access online games with an R18+ classification will from next week to prove their age, and if publishers don't comply they could face fines of nearly AU$50 million. The change applies to online games only—in other words, singleplayer, offline games with an R18+ rating, like Doom Eternal, don't need to worry—but it will affect GTA Online. It's all part of measures taken under the new Age-Restricted Material Codes.
Age assurance technology takes a lot of forms. In Australia, where a social media ban has been imposed for children under 16, YouTube requires credit card details or a copy of a valid government ID to determine age. Instagram uses "facial age estimation technology" based on video footage uploaded by the user, as does TikTok, and both also accept government ID.

A newly surfaced patent from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is capturing attention across both the crypto and traditional finance sectors, revealing a framework where blockchain-based liquidity tokens like XRP and Stellar (XLM) could help power the future of global asset settlement.
The patent published in 2025 reveals that DTCC has explored a cross-ledger liquidity framework designed to enable the seamless movement of tokenized assets across multiple blockchain networks. Within the proposed architecture, XRP and Stellar are identified as digital liquidity tokens, capable of bridging value between traditional financial infrastructure and distributed ledgers to facilitate faster, interoperable settlement.
Reinforcing this concept, former Ripple CTO David Schwartz recently emphasized that XRP transactions are fully immutable once confirmed and cannot be blocked or reversed by any party, highlighting the network’s censorship-resistant design and reliability for cross-system value transfer.
By exploring frameworks where digital liquidity tokens like XRP and XLM enable seamless value transfer across blockchains, they signal that interoperability and instant settlement could become core to next-generation market infrastructure.

Japan has asked the US to spare it from a planned tariff increase from 10% to 15%, according to Trade Minister Ryosei Akazawa. The request is due to concerns that higher tariffs could hit Japan's automobile industry and erode concessions secured in 2025.
“We asked that Japan not be included in any increase to 15%,” - Trade Minister Ryosei Akazawa told after meeting with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick ahead of the March 19 leaders’ summit. He also stressed that Japan’s treatment “should not become more disadvantageous than under last year’s Japan–US agreement.”
At stake is not only trade balance but also the Strategic Investment Initiative, a $550 billion program designed to channel Japanese financing into US projects. Under the deal, the US can raise tariffs if Tokyo fails to deliver funding on schedule.

For many people living with depression, medications do not provide enough relief. In these cases, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become an important alternative. This noninvasive therapy uses magnetic pulses to activate targeted regions of the brain. Large clinical studies show that it significantly reduces symptoms in 60 to 70% of patients, and 25 to 35% achieve remission.
However, for patients with treatment-resistant depression, getting to the clinic every weekday for at least 6 weeks can be a real obstacle. Researchers at UCLA Health recently have offered those same patients a path to meaningful relief in less than one week by condensing 25 TMS treatments over just 5 days, a format known as five-by-five, or “5×5.”
An important finding involved some patients in the accelerated group who showed minimal improvement immediately after completing the five-day course. When researchers reassessed them two to four weeks later, those individuals demonstrated substantial progress. On average, their depression scores had fallen by 36%.

Enterprises and startups that use Anthropic Claude through Microsoft and Google products need not fear that the model will be ripped from their reach, Microsoft and Google confirmed. AWS customers and partners can also reportedly continue to use Claude for their non-defense associated workloads.
“Our lawyers have studied the designation and have concluded that Anthropic products, including Claude, can remain available to our customers — other than the Department of War — through platforms such as M365, GitHub, and Microsoft’s AI Foundry, and that we can continue to work with Anthropic on non-defense related projects,” - the spokesperson said in an email.
Google, which sells cloud computing, AI, and productivity tools federal agencies, has also confirmed that it will continue to make Claude available to its customers through the platforms, like Google Cloud.

Trump hosted the Shield of the Americas summit, where leaders signed a charter affirming the right to chart their own destinies free from interference. The summit was part of a broader effort to strengthen regional security cooperation and aimed at shoring up support for the administration’s anti-drug trafficking operations.
“Every leader here today is united in the conviction that we cannot and will not tolerate the lawlessness in our hemisphere any longer,” Trump said. “The only way to defeat these enemies is by unleashing the power of our militaries. We have to use our military, you have to use your militaries.”

The head of OpenAI’s robotics team resigned Saturday, citing the company’s deal to deploy its AI models within the Pentagon’s classified network as the cause. OpenAI confirmed Caitlin Kalinowski’s departure in an email statement and said it believes the agreement with the Defense Department “creates a workable path for responsible national security uses of AI while making clear our red lines, no domestic surveillance and no autonomous weapons.”
“We recognize that people have strong views about these issues and we will continue to engage in discussion with employees, government, civil society and communities around the world,” - the company said.

In light of Sony's heavily-rumored decision to pivot away from PC releases, one security engineer took matters into his own hands and turned the PS5 into a PC. Andy Nguyen ported Linux to a PlayStation 5 console, hacking through several layers of hardware and software barriers thanks to full-chain exploits. Not only did he manage to get Linux running, but the modded console actually performs well in games.
Now that it's a PC, it can do anything a standard computer can, which includes running GTA V Enhanced Edition via Steam. It's set to 1440p resolution, with ray tracing enabled as denoted by the "High RT" preset in settings. The gameplay is steady at a smooth 60 FPS with barely any fluctuation, and even the sound is working. But the PS5 Slim doesn't have the thermal headroom to keep up with those numbers and simply overheats if pushed any harder. To achieve this, Andy used a PS5 running significantly older firmware, between 1.0 and 2.0, that was released around five years ago.
In a way, this is a tease of what the upcoming Steam Machine will be since it'll feature similar performance and run SteamOS, based on Linux. Through Proton, it can play pretty much any Windows game, sometimes with even a slight FPS bump.

The U.S. customs agency is readying a system within 45 days to process refunds of returning $166 billion in tariff payments to around 330,000 importers. The U.S. Supreme Court did not say how the collected tariffs should be refunded, leaving small importers worried the process would be expensive and time-consuming.
"This new process will require minimal submission from importers," - Lord said in his declaration, filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade as government lawyers began meeting with Judge Richard Eaton from the court.
Judge Richard Eaton said in his Wednesday order that he had been appointed by the trade court to hear the roughly 2,000 lawsuits filed by importers including FedEx and L'Oreal seeking refunds. Trade lawyers said those lawsuits were the tip of the iceberg, and thousands more were prepared to sue if the government failed to develop a system for automatic refunds. Affiliates of Nintendo and CVS became the latest large companies to sue for refunds.

Switzerland voted to enshrine the availability of cash in its constitution, assenting to a push designed to guard against the demise of physical money. A government plan for the legal change has 69% backing, according to preliminary official estimates on Sunday.
The vote marks a rare moment of circumspection on the nature of money. Cash use for payments has rapidly declined dropping to just 30% of transactions two years ago, from 70% less than a decade before. Even so, the Swiss are fond of their francs, and still use coins with designs dating back to the mid-19th century.
