If you happen to own a lot of games on your Nintendo Switch, you basically have quite a lot of games you’ll have to scroll through to find the one you want to play. However, the good news is that in the latest update to the Switch which brings it up to version 14.0.0, gamers will now be able to sort games into folders.

This is a feature that gamers have long been asking for, especially since consoles like the Nintendo 3DS already offered that feature to users, so it was unclear what took Nintendo this long to bring it to the Switch, especially since it feels like such a basic feature to have. But we suppose better late than never, right?

However, there is a bit of a catch because according to Nintendo’s support page, the company says that this feature and menu is only enabled when users have more than 12 titles saved to their console, so if you have less than that, it seems that this won’t work and you’ll still need to scroll through your games.

Also, up to 100 “groups” (which is what Nintendo is calling folders) can be created with a maximum of 200 titles per group, but then again this isn’t really a limitation per se since we doubt that anyone has that many games on their Switch anyway. The update should already be live so fire up your console and check for software updates to get your hands on it.

When Apple launched the Studio Display, it was clear that the company was targeting Mac users. However, the Studio Display is still a display at the end of the day, and Apple later confirmed that the display would work with Windows, but there are several caveats involved where Windows users might not be able to take full advantage of all its features.

However, it seems that upon further testing by Justin Searls, it appears that Windows users who might be thinking of getting the Studio Display should probably look elsewhere. This is because it looks like the process to connect the display to a Windows PC is more troublesome and complicated than it might be worth.

Searls tested out several methods to try and connect the display to a Windows PC, and found that within each method were further complications. For example, the most basic and seemingly obvious method would be to get a DisplayPort to USB-C cable, but apparently that did not work at all.

He had better luck buying an 8K DisplayPort 1.4 cable with a USB-C on one end or buying an adapter, but the downside to this method is that it renders the built-in speakers and microphone useless. Searls does list down a couple of other methods that have worked for him, but like we said, it seems to be more complicated than necessary.

That being said, if a high-resolution display is something you’re after, there are plenty of other cheaper alternatives, but Searls’ report might be worth reading if for whatever reason, you’re dead set on buying the Studio Display for your PC.

Using A Studio Display With A Windows PC Seems Unnecessarily Complicated

Right now, Apple’s iPhones employ an edge-to-edge display except for the top middle part of the screen where there is a notch that houses the front-facing camera and the TrueDepth camera system used in Face ID. This has been a contentious design, but that could change with the iPhone 15.

Set to launch in 2023, a report from The Elec has revealed that Apple could finally introduce an in-display Face ID system in the iPhone 15. This means that the iPhone 15 could finally feature a full screen display without any cutouts which should lend to a much better design and experience.

Apple is expected to continue using a cutout for the iPhone 14, but the latest leaks have suggested that the company could ditch the notch in favor of a pill-shaped cutout, which is still somewhat intrusive but at least it’s smaller. Other companies like Samsung have been using these types of cutouts for a while, so it’s not new.

We’ve also seen other Android handset makers attempt in-display camera systems of their own, but the fact that it hasn’t caught on widely yet suggests that maybe the quality of the camera isn’t quite there yet. Either way, 2023 is still quite a long ways to go so temper your expectations for now.

A bipartisan group of legislators today introduced bills in the House and Senate that would expand transparency requirements when it comes to government surveillance of US citizens, adding email, text, location and cloud data to the existing reporting framework. Currently, the US government is required to alert Americans who have been targeted by wiretaps and bank record subpoenas, but this doesn’t apply to digital or cloud data. The Government Surveillance Transparency Act aims to adjust the parameters of this rule, expanding it to cover more common, modern forms of digital communication and data storage.

The Senate bill is sponsored by Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, Montana Republican Steve Daines, New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker and Utah Republican Mike Lee, while a companion bill in the House of Representatives is backed by California Democrat Ted Lieu and Ohio Republican Warren Davidson. They argue that hundreds of thousands of criminal surveillance orders from US authorities go unreported each year, keeping Americans in the dark about the broad scope of government monitoring programs.

The bill also addresses the government’s use of gag orders to halt technology companies from informing their customers of surveillance campaigns. While many tech companies have tried voluntarily reporting government subpoenas and data requests to their customers, authorities have used gag orders to keep these campaigns secret, according to the legislators.

“When the government obtains someone’s emails or other digital information, users have a right to know,” Wyden said in a press release. “Our bill ensures that no investigation will be compromised, but makes sure the government can’t hide surveillance forever by misusing sealing and gag orders to prevent the American people from understanding the enormous scale of government surveillance, as well as ensuring that the targets eventually learn their personal information has been searched.”

Alongside reforms to notification requirements and the gag-order process, the legislation would force authorities to publish online general information about every surveillance order they complete. It also would require law enforcement to notify the courts if they search the wrong person, house or device in the scope of an investigation, and also if a company shares unauthorized information.

Microsoft wants to spend billions to acquire Activision Blizzard, but first, the latter company’s shareholders need to vote in favor of the deal.
