Bring home the Nintendo Switch console for just $261 today only

This one-day offer comes via Newegg’s official eBay store.

Today only, eBay’s having a one-day sale offering 15% off almost everything site-wide when you enter promo code PERFECTDAY… including the Nintendo Switch. Normally $299, we don’t see discounts on the console very often considering how in-demand it’s been. There have been some recent bundle offers with the console and a game at that price, but you don’t usually get a chance to order the console itself at a discounted price. With this promo code, it brings the console’s cost down to just $260.98 including economy shipping.

This deal comes via Newegg’s official eBay store so you won’t need to worry about it coming from a random seller. The promo code is set to expire later tonight however, so you’ll want to make your move quickly. Technically, this console could sell out at any moment.

The code can be used to save up to $100 but only once per account, so you may want to add some Nintendo Switch accessories or games to your ca…

Best Nintendo Switch Cases that Fit in the Dock

Docked or undocked, you want your Switch protected. These cases can do the trick.

I go back and forth, docking and undocking my Switch fairly regularly — oftentimes, in the middle of a game. If you’re like me, and you flip between TV mode and handheld mode a lot but want a protective case, you’re not up a creek. There are just a few models available right now, but you can have your cake and eat it too.

Nyko Thin Case
Fyoung Dockable Case
Nyko Thin Case

This ultra-thin hardshell case fits snugly around your Switch. It’s got precision out outs where all ports and speakers are so you can easily access everything you need on your Switch. The tablet cover is separate from the Joy-Con controllers so you can keep the Switch docked while using them. It also comes with a film screen protector to keep your Switch free of scratches all over.

It comes in smoke, for the black Switch, or red and blue transparent for the red and blue Switch (though you could probably swap that around if…

Take 15% off any eBay order over $25 today only

Site wide. Save big. Happy Friday.

Today eBay is taking 15% off just about everything with the code PERFECTDAY. You will need to make a minimum purchase of $25. It has a maximum potential savings of $100, so you can spend as much as $667 and still save with this deal. You can only use the code once on one shopping cart, but you can use the code on everything in that cart instead of just one item. While it can be used site-wide, the few excluded categories include Coins & Paper Money, Gift Cards & Coupons, and Real Estate. This deal expires at 12 p.m. Eastern tonight, June 29.

These eBay deals have been popping up pretty frequently this year. We’ve seen a couple of rare sales featuring as much as 20% off site-wide, but 15% off is also pretty dang good. Usually eBay’s sales are very limited in scope, so it’s exciting to see one so all-encompassing. It has worked so well, the site has started making it a regular practice this year. Today’s deal is more-or-less identical to the …

Crash Bandicoot for Nintendo Switch: Tips, tricks, and cheats

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy on Nintendo Switch can be tricky, even for veterans. Here’s how to succeed!

Crash Bandicoot’s triumphant return to modern consoles, including the Nintendo Switch is serving to remind many who enjoyed the game in their youth that, dang, it’s difficult! The challenging platforming from Naughty Dog’s original three releases has largely retained its difficulty, even if improved checkpointing and multiple save slots have made things a touch less frustrating. Still, Crash will test your jumping and spinning skills whether this is the first time you’ve played or even if you collected every gem in every level as a kid. Don’t forget those extra stages (Stormy Ascent and Future Tense) too!

If you’re having a tough time of it, don’t worry. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you crash your way through all three games and stop Neo Cortex for good!

See at Amazon

Practice those jumps!

If you’re new to Crash or haven’t played for years, it can be a bit tric…

Amazon Fire TV Cube review from CordCutters.com

It’s good. It’s really good. But is it going to kill Android TV or Apple TV?

Well, Amazon went and did it. It combined its uber-popular Fire TV with its even more popular Echo Dot, mashing up the two into a cube. The result? Pretty predictable, actually. You’ve got a Fire TV with exactly the sort of hands-free voice control you’d expect.

But that’s just the start of the Fire TV Cube story. Where things start to get interesting is when you consider that hands-free control like that — paired with CEC and IR control of other devices connected to your TV — mean that the Fire TV Cube is sort of the ultimate hands-free remote control. Right?

Welllll, not quite.

Hands-on with Republic Relay: A fantastic start to a kid-friendly ’phone’

It’s still early, but there’s a lot of potential to these fun little squares.

My 9-year-old came home from the first day of school this year and asked for a phone of his very own, and I laughed. His 13-year-old sister doesn’t even have her own phone yet, and I didn’t have my own phone until I was much older. But as we talked, he explained many of the kids in his class had a phone, mostly for emergencies. At the end of the conversation I still wasn’t ready to give him something he could call his own, but for things like field trips out of state I did find myself wanting him to have something.

I found myself unsatisfied with most of the solutions available at the time. The cellular ”kid watches” available through carriers felt more like unstylish ankle monitors, and while Google’s parental features in Gmail have improved dramatically this year, a full Android phone requires a ton of work to set up for someone like my son. Republic Wireless caught my attention not long ago when it ann…

iOS 12: How Apple is taking us through the looking glass with ARKit 2

With support for environment maps, 2D and 3D objects, persistence, and multi-person experiences, Apple just augmented ARKit — for real!

One day, Augmented Reality (AR) will live in our glasses or contact lenses, in the photons hacked on their way to our visual receptors, or embedded right into our brains. For now, it lives inside our iPhones and iPads. Apple seems to want to make sure it goes as fast and as far as possible with the technology on our current devices so it’s as mature as possible by the time we get to whatever comes next.

That suits me just fine.

Reminders of the last ARKit

ARKit is Apple’s framework for understanding what the camera sees and tracking the position and orientation of that camera relative to the world around it. That includes surfaces, objects, and faces, and their movements and expressions.

ARKit 1.0, introduced just one short year ago this month, could handle single-user experiences and horizontal surfaces, as well as lighting conditi…
