How to connect Nintendo Switch 2 to your TV or monitor
The Nintendo Switch 2 might be designed for portable gaming, but its real magic happens when you connect it to your TV or monitor for the full big-screen experience. Maybe you're settling in for a marathon Mario Kart World gaming session, or simply want to show off your skills. Docking your Switch 2 transforms it from a handheld device into a proper home console. The setup process is refreshingly simple, requiring just a few cable connections and the included dock. Nintendo has streamlined the entire experience to get you gaming on the big screen as quickly as possible. Follow these simple steps and you'll have your Switch 2 connected and displaying games on the big screen in just a few minutes. 1. Remove the dock's back panel (Image: © Tom's Guide) Take off the back panel of the Switch 2 dock by pulling it back from the top. This reveals all the connection ports you'll need for setup. Keep the panel somewhere safe while you're connecting cables, as you'll need to put it back on later. 2. Connect the HDMI cable to your display (Image: © Tom's Guide) Plug one end of an HDMI cable into the middle port on the dock (it's clearly marked and sits between the other two ports). Then connect the other end to any available HDMI input on your TV or monitor. Make sure both connections are secure and remember which HDMI input you're using so you can select it later. 3. Connect the power adapter (Image: © Tom's Guide) Plug the Nintendo Switch 2 power adapter into the dock's power port, then connect the other end to a wall outlet. For best results, use only the official Nintendo power adapter that came with your Switch 2. 4. Position the dock (Image: © Tom's Guide) Position the dock on a stable, flat surface near your TV where it won't get knocked over. It's also a good idea to ensure there's adequate ventilation around the dock as it will generate heat during your gaming sessions. 5. Insert your Switch 2 (Image: © Tom's Guide) Gently slide your Nintendo Switch 2 into the dock with the screen facing the same direction as the dock's front opening. Turn on your TV or monitor and use your remote to select the HDMI input you connected earlier. Your Switch 2 will automatically detect the connection and switch to docked mode for big-screen gaming. Now sit back and enjoy your games with improved resolution and performance on the big screen! Now you've learned how to connect your Nintendo Switch 2 to your TV monitor, why not take a look at our other useful Switch 2 guides? If you're unboxing, check out how to set up a Nintendo Switch 2. If you have a first generation console and are looking to transfer over your data, we can help you with that too.

How Will GameStop Stock React To Its Upcoming Earnings?"
CANADA - 2025/05/29: In this photo illustration, the GameStop (Game Stop) logo is seen displayed on ... More a smartphone screen. (Photo Illustration by Thomas Fuller/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Meme stock – GameStop (NYSE:GME) – is set to release its earnings on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Historically, GameStop's stock has exhibited a favorable one-day return in 55% of cases following earnings announcements over the last five years. The average positive return has been 10.2%, with the highest one-day gain reaching 35.2%. For traders focused on events, grasping these historical trends can prove advantageous, although actual outcomes relative to consensus estimates will largely dictate the stock's trajectory. Here are two strategies for trading GameStop's earnings: GameStop has considerably broadened its operations beyond conventional brick-and-mortar video game sales. The company now provides a mix of physical and digital products, including consoles, collectibles, and digital games, and has even entered the realm of cryptocurrency investments, notably acquiring 4,710 bitcoins recently, valued at over $500 million. For the forthcoming earnings report, analysts forecast earnings of $0.08 per share with sales totaling $754 million. This stands in contrast to a loss of $0.12 per share on sales of $882 million during the same quarter last year. From a fundamental perspective, GameStop has a market capitalization of $13 billion at present. Over the past twelve months, the company recorded revenue of $3.8 billion, an operating loss of $16 million, and a net income of $131 million. That said, if you are seeking potential upside with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative — it has outperformed the S&P 500 and yielded returns exceeding 91% since its launch. Additionally, check out – Is CRWD Stock Overvalued At $460? See earnings reaction history of all stocks Some insights into one-day (1D) post-earnings returns: Additional information regarding observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns following earnings is compiled in the table below. GME 1D, 5D, and 21D Post-Earnings Return A relatively lower-risk strategy (although ineffective if the correlation is minimal) involves understanding the relationship between short-term and medium-term returns post earnings, identifying a pair with the strongest correlation, and executing the suitable trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D display the highest correlation, a trader can position themselves 'long' for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation data based on both 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D indicates the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns. GME Correlation Between 1D, 5D and 21D Historical Returns Occasionally, the performance of peers can affect the stock's reaction after earnings are reported. Indeed, the market's pricing may start prior to the earnings announcement. Below is some historical data comparing GameStop's post-earnings performance with the stock performance of peers that reported earnings just before GameStop. For a fair comparison, peer stock returns also denote post-earnings one-day (1D) returns. GME Correlation With Peer Earnings Discover more about Trefis RV strategy that has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (comprising all 3: the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000), resulting in substantial returns for investors. Furthermore, if you're looking for upside with a smoother experience than an individual stock like GameStop, consider the High Quality portfolio, which has outperformed the S&P and achieved >91% returns since its inception.

NEW YORK — Inside a Walmart store in New Jersey, a worker puts the finishing touches on a cake with an edible ink Sponge Bob on top. A colleague creates a buttercream rosette border for a different cake, while another co-worker frosts a tier of what will be a triple-deck dessert.
