Nintendo
has issued a direct warning to would-be
Nintendo Switch 2
owners. The Japanese gaming major has asked users not to peel off the adhesive film layer found on the soon-to-be-launched console's screen. This film serves as a crucial safety feature designed to prevent glass fragments from scattering if the screen becomes damaged. The advice comes from the official Nintendo Switch 2 Health and Safety manual, which was recently uploaded to Nintendo of Europe's official website. The manual explicitly states that the screen is covered with this special layer for safety purposes. While users are cautioned against removing this pre-applied film, Nintendo has clarified that it is safe to add any additional commercially available screen protectors directly on top of this existing safety layer.
In a message to the upcoming owners (as seen by Nintendo Soup) on Nintendo Europe's website, the company says:
'The screen is covered with a film layer designed to prevent fragments scattering in the event of damage. Do not peel it off.'
This means the adhesive film on the Switch 2 screen is designed to prevent the glass from shattering if damaged. Removing it could lead to glass splinters in case of impact, so users should be cautious when unboxing the device.

Nintendo has also advised players against using the Switch 2 in "dusty or smoky areas" — so that means keeping it away from clubs or old bookshops.
'Make sure to charge the built-in batteries at least once every six months. If the batteries are not used for an extended period of time, it may become impossible to charge them,'
the company adds.
Some of the warnings are more straightforward, like: 'Do not expose devices to fire, microwaves, direct sunlight, high or extremely low temperatures," which Nintendo also advised for handling the Switch 2.

No question of review of satcom spectrum recommendation based COAI's reax: TRAI sources
New Delhi, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ( TRAI ) on Wednesday categorically ruled out any review of recommendations on satcom spectrum at this stage, based on industry body COAI 's claims. Sources in TRAI told PTI that the regulator has already given its recommendations to the government "after following the due consultation process exhaustively and transparently". All stakeholders were given adequate opportunity to represent their viewpoint during the consultation process, they said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Undo There is no question of review of the recommendations at this stage based on reactions of the Cellular Operators' Association of India (COAI), TRAI sources said. The comments assume significance as COAI - whose members include Reliance Jio and Airtel - has approached the telecom department to raise concerns over TRAI recommendations on the satcom spectrum, claiming that "incorrect assumptions" have led to unjustifiably low spectrum charges for satellite services relative to terrestrial networks . Live Events In a letter dated May 29, COAI claimed that TRAI's recommendations are based on incorrect assumptions and that their implementation will hit the sustainability of terrestrial services, which form the foundation of India's digital infrastructure. COAI has urged the Department of Telecom (DoT) to form a committee to "undertake a comprehensive review of the recommendations in their entirety, ensuring the process is guided by principles of fairness, transparency, and equity and also give an opportunity to TSPs (telcos) to share their views regarding the same". The industry body argued that the recommendations provide a regulatory advantage to commercial Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellites against terrestrial broadband service providers and, if accepted by the DoT in their present form, will undermine competition and create a non-level playing field. COAI said that TRAI's recommendations do not appear to address the most fundamental and contentious issue -- the lack of a level-playing field between terrestrial service providers and satellite operators serving the same market. "The said recommendations are based on incorrect assumptions and implementation of these recommendations will impact the sustainability of terrestrial services that form the foundation of India's digital infrastructure," the association had said. The telecom regulator last month suggested that satellite communication companies like Starlink pay four per cent of their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) as spectrum charges to the government. Operators offering satellite-based broadband internet services in urban areas would have to shell out an additional Rs 500 per subscriber annually. No additional levy would be applicable for services in rural areas. COAI also argued that the recommendation of a spectrum charge at four per cent of AGR is without justification. "It is well known and TRAI would surely be fully aware that with the advent of next-generation NGSO broadband services -- including low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO) constellations -- satellite services are now capable of directly substituting and competing with terrestrial fixed and mobile broadband networks," COAI said.

Tech giant SAP asks US Supreme Court to reconsider rival's antitrust win
Europe's largest software maker SAP ( has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision that said the technology giant must face a lawsuit by U.S. data technology company Teradata accusing it of violating antitrust law . SAP in a petition made public on Tuesday said a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California that reinstated Teradata's lawsuit will threaten American tech innovation if it is left in place. Teradata accused SAP of violating antitrust law by "tying" sales of business-planning applications with the purchase of a key SAP database that can perform transactional and analytical functions. Teradata makes a rival analytics database. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Alquilar coches de lujo nunca fue tan fácil Coches | Anuncios Publicitarios Más información Undo In its filing at the high court, SAP said the integration of software products can often benefit consumers and "represent an effort to 'compete effectively,' rather than to stifle competition." SAP declined to comment. Teradata did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Live Events San Diego-based Teradata filed its lawsuit against SAP in federal court in California in 2018. The two companies once had a joint venture, but SAP terminated it after developing its own analytics database.

The appeals court said there was material dispute between the companies that a jury could decide. If the Supreme Court takes the case, the justices could rule on which legal standard judges should use to weigh antitrust tying claims. Two key legal standards guide how judges resolve whether conduct restrains competition: the "per se rule," where alleged conduct is presumed illegal, and the "rule of reason," where judges balance between anticompetitive effects and a defendant's procompetitive justification. The 9th Circuit, using a version of the "per se rule," applied too stringent a standard in evaluating Teradata's claims, SAP told the justices. SAP said the appellate court's ruling clashed with how a Washington federal appeals court resolved a landmark antitrust case against Microsoft in the 1990s.

Big planet orbiting a small star: Scientists discover rare pairing in Milky Way galaxy
Astronomers say they have discovered a massive planet orbiting a tiny star, a bizarre pairing that has stumped scientists (Image credit: X/AFP) Astronomers on Wednesday have discovered a huge planet orbiting a tiny star. This bizarre pairing has left the scientists puzzled. The small star is called TOI-6894 . Most stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small like TOI-6894. It is a red dwarf with only about 20 per cent of the Sun's mass. Scientists never thought that such tiny stars could support massive planets. However, a team of international astronomers found clear signs of a gas giant planet orbiting the small star TOI-6894. Their findings were published in the journal ' Nature Astronomy '. This discovery makes TOI-6894 the smallest known star to host such a large planet. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Morocco (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo The planet has a slightly larger radius than Saturn, but weighs only half its mass. It orbits the star very quickly- once every three days. The astronomers discovered the planet while observing more than 91,000 small red dwarf stars from Nasa's TESS space telescope. The existence of the planet was confirmed by ground-based telescopes including Chile's observatory 'Very Large Telescope'. "The fact that this star hosts a giant planet has big implications for the total number of giant planets we estimate exist in our galaxy," said study co-author Daniel Bayliss from the UK's Warwick University. Another co-author, Vincent Van Eylen from University College London, said it was an "intriguing discovery". "We don't really understand how a star with so little mass can form such a massive planet!" Eylen said. "This is one of the goals of the search for more exoplanets . By finding planetary systems different from our solar system, we can test our models and better understand how our own solar system formed", he added. Scientists hope discoveries like this one will help them better understand how planets — including those in our own solar system — are formed. Why is TOI-6894b special? The new planet, named TOI-6894b is special because it is much cooler than most other planets found outside our solar system. The researchers explained that most of the planets are hot, having temperatures more than 1,000°C. However, the newly discovered planet appears to be under 150°C. That cooler temperature means scientists might be able to detect chemicals like ammonia in its atmosphere — something never seen before in planets outside our solar system. The James Webb Space Telescope is expected to observe this planet in the next year, which can help scientists in uncovering more mysteries of this strange planet.
