  • Verizon Offers Free Nintendo Switch with Fios and 5G Home Plans
    November 9, 2025, 9:22 PM EST. Verizon is running a promotion where new customers who sign up for select internet plans-Fios, 5G Home Ultimate, or LTE Home Plus-receive a free Nintendo Switch console. Other options include a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G tablet or a 43-inch Samsung Q7F TV if you don't want the Switch. Plans start at about $35/month, and Verizon promises a five-year price lock for eligible signups. To qualify, accounts must be in good standing for 14 days; cancelling within 180 days may incur full retail price. Supplies are limited, so demand could deplete stock before the November 25, 2025 end date. Fios uses fiber for speeds from 300 Mbps to 2 Gbps; 5G Home Ultimate offers unlimited data. The deal emphasizes bundled value for gaming, streaming, and home connectivity.
  • CD Projekt Red fires a self-burn at Rockstar over GTA 6 delay, revisiting Cyberpunk 2077's launch
    November 9, 2025, 9:20 PM EST. CD Projekt Red fires a self-burn at Rockstar after GTA 6's delay, revisiting its own rocky Cyberpunk 2077 launch. The official Cyberpunk account retweeted a 2020 post saying 'No more delays are happening,' prompting debate over whether the message was a jab at Rockstar or a reminder to trust the process for GTA 6. The story nods to Rockstar's recent talent moves and a union-organising crackdown, but keeps the focus on how delays can set higher expectations. With GTA 6 now pushed to November next year, fans and analysts will watch to see if the game avoids a misstep that could echo Cyberpunk 2077's launch fiasco. Stay tuned for more gaming news and deals.
  • AI in Genetic Counseling: Colleen Caleshu on Adoption, Validation, and Clinician Oversight at NSGC
    November 9, 2025, 9:16 PM EST. At NSGC's 44th Annual Conference, Colleen Caleshu discussed early AI adopters in genetic counseling, noting tools like ambient recording and transcription to auto-generate notes. Benefits include increased efficiency, reduced documentation burden, and potential to ease clinician burnout, but she stressed that clinicians must become AI-literate to assess tool quality, detect biases, and address equity considerations. Validation remains a major challenge-consider who was tested, how, and with what results. Most deployments stay clinician-in-the-loop to curb inaccurate or inappropriate outputs, underscoring the need for ongoing clinician oversight.
  • DJI unveils its first robot vacuum, the Romo, with LiDAR mapping ahead of August launch
    November 9, 2025, 9:12 PM EST. DJI is stepping into home robotics with its first robot vacuum, the Romo. The company teased a launch video and poster that point to an August 6, 2025 reveal in China, with potential U.S. availability to follow later (tariffs could delay it). The Romo leverages DJI's LiDAR know-how from drones and focuses on mapping, addressing one of consumers' biggest questions: can a drone maker excel in vacuums? DJI explicitly notes the Romo can't fly up stairs, but its mapping could help it navigate homes efficiently. As with other China brands like Roborock and Ecovacs, a broader U.S. release would hinge on supply and demand.
  • Nissan's all-solid-state EV battery prototype could double driving range, target mass production by 2028
    November 9, 2025, 9:10 PM EST. Nissan Motor has taken a major step in developing next-generation all-solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, unveiling prototype cells that could double the current driving range. The effort targets mass production by fiscal 2028, part of a broader push among automakers to improve charging times and overall efficiency. The prototypes demonstrate substantial gains in energy density and safety, potentially reducing charging duration and expanding practical EV reach. If scaled, this technology could accelerate adoption across markets and reshape the competitive landscape in EV battery tech.
