Sterlite Technologies has launched a new line of plenum-rated fiber trunk assemblies built specifically for AI data centers, the Indian connectivity manufacturer announced on September 10, 2026.

Buying a PS5 Pro for its extra 16.7 TFLOPS of GPU power means nothing if your TV is still stuck on a “Vivid” picture mode fighting the console’s tone mapping. Sony’s own PSSR upscaling and ray-traced lighting only look better than base PS5 when HDR, color range, and refresh rate settings are dialed in correctly…
A cluster of leaks landed within days of each other in early September 2026, and together they gave the clearest look yet at the silicon Apple has not yet confirmed.

Nintendo’s September 9, 2026 Direct Partner Showcase ran a tight 45 minutes starting at 7 a.m. PT, and it was built almost entirely around Switch 2 software landing this winter. What stood out wasn’t just the lineup of Nintendo’s own games. It was how much of the runtime went to outside publishers: Capcom, Square Enix,…
Nintendo of America confirmed on September 10, 2026, that it will run a two-week “Customer Appreciation Sale” across the Nintendo eShop, the Nintendo Store, and participating US retail locations, and the company says the discounts exist “in part” because of tariff-related refunds it received earlier this year.

A new box from RetroTINK showed up on shelves in late August 2026, and it changed the math for anyone hooking a Super Nintendo, PlayStation 2, or Dreamcast up to a modern display. The RetroTINK-6X CE ships for roughly $230, outputs a native 2560x1440p signal, and borrows the same processing pipeline found in the company’s…
