🚨 Nintendo got their bizzare & controversial patent for their Pokémon game mechanics.

Nintent recently received their patent, U.S Patent no. 12,403,397, for their Pokémon game mechanics which has sparked a controversy among gamers.
The patent basically covers the core game mechanics which includes summoning of characters and letting it fight - which is already used by many other popular games like Elden Ring, Digimon and Persona.

IP Lawyers and industry experts are calling it an "outrageous" and a big failure of the U.S patent system, and warn about its misuse and impact on creativity throughout the industry.

Meanwhile, Nintendo has already filed lawsuits over Palworld devs, Pocketpair over similar game mechanics, that they had to change them.

Critics says that this patent is very broad and will likely be ignored, given the decades of prior art.

Guys, tell me one thing? Why does many use the downgraded (stock) version of the play store?

Meta's dystopian product fails at live demo

Meta showed their most hyped toy, the 2nd Gen Ray-Ban Meta Sunglasses at Connect 2025… and it flopped hard 🤦‍♂️.

AI froze & hallucinated while they bombed some Wi-Fi jokes, later their employees fumbled with the neural band. Easily the biggest demo fail since Tesla’s “bulletproof” glass demo.

Upgrades? Newer display, bigger battery, better camera and an AI that leaves you hanging when you promised your GF a fancy dish 👀 (rip us singles tho 😔).

Specs:
- AR translucent HUD
- Neural band which can measure subtle nerve signals
- 8hrs battery + case adds 48hrs
- 12MP Cam 3K@60fps HDR
- 32GB RAM
- New frames: Skyler, Headliner, Wayfarer

Also Meta is going for a run with the athletes with their Oakley Meta Vanguard
- center mounted 122° wide cam
- beefy speakers
- 9hr battery
- fitness app integration like Starva & Garmin

Even after those fails, Meta deserves some appreciation for their innovation and guts for that live demo.

Tell me, would you wear these glasses? 🤓

What's next?
Sun fee? Cold fee? Alive fee? Not dead fee? Afterlife hell fee?

What are they smoking bruh?

Wow, GST on Rain fee 🤓🤡

Internal testing of native video wallpaper support has been spotted in recent Windows 11 Insider Preview builds (Dev/Beta 26220.6690/26120.6690). Users will be able to apply video files in widely used container formats, including MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, M4V, and MKV, as desktop backgrounds. The system will automatically loop playback without requiring user intervention. Video resolution and frame rate will be adjusted dynamically to maintain system stability and resource consumption during playback.

CMF steps out Nothing’s budget brand goes independent

- Nothing just spins off CMF into its own company in India. And CMF’s wasting no time, partnering with Optiemus in a $100M deal to start making phones, buds, and wearables locally 🇮🇳.

• Quick hits:
- New factory + R&D center in Hyderabad
- 1,800+ jobs coming
- CMF now handles its own design and production

Carl Pei’s plan? Let CMF chase the budget crowd while Nothing stays premium. And with CMF’s sales booming, this move might just be a power play.

Would you buy a CMF device now that it’s running solo?
