Switch 2 vs. Steam Deck OLED: Which is more powerful?
See all Stories Posted Jul 9, 2025 at 5:22 PM UTC Switch 2 vs. Steam Deck OLED: Which is more powerful? Switch 2 plays Cyberpunk 2077 far better docked... but Steam Deck wins handheld.
Handheld, the Switch 2 is less stable; missing some detail; load times are slower.
Switch only uses around 1/3rd the power! But since Steam Deck has 2.5x the battery, both last around 2 hours.

Tesla Cybertrucks Wanted By Air Force As Missile Targets
The U.S. Air Force is looking to buy two Tesla Cybertrucks for use as targets for precision munitions during testing and training. The service says it needs these vehicles for this purpose specifically because of the prospect of unspecified adversaries driving around in them in the future. The Cybertrucks are among 33 target vehicles the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) is looking to acquire and have delivered to the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico, according to contracting documents recently posted online. WSMR is run by the U.S. Army, but the Air Force has a significant presence there. There are no name-brand requirements for the other sedans, bongo trucks, pickups, and SUVs, that are also on AFTC's shopping list. The primary intended use of all of the target vehicles is in support of U.S. Special Operations Command's (SOCOM) Stand Off Precision Guided Munitions (SOPGM) program and related training. SOPGM covers multiple special operations-specific air-launched precision-guided munitions, including multiple variants of the AGM-114 Hellfire, the AGM-176 Griffin missile, the GBU-69/B Small Glide Munition (SGM), and the GBU-39B/B Laser Small Diameter Bomb (LSDB). The explicit requirement for the Cybertrucks – which do not need to be in running condition, but do need to be able to roll towed behind another vehicle – requires a formal sole-source justification, a redacted copy of which is among the documents that AFTC has shared online. 'On 13 February 2025, market research was conducted to assess the competition for the Tesla Cybertruck by evaluating its design, materials, impact resistance, and innovative technologies. The study revealed that the Cybertruck's aggressively angular and futuristic design, paired with its unpainted stainless steel exoskeleton, sets it apart from competitors typically using painted steel or aluminum bodies,' the justification document explains. 'Additionally, its 48V electrical architecture provides superior power and efficiency, a feature that rivals are only beginning to develop. Extensive internet searches and industry outreach by [redacted] found no vehicles with features comparable to those of the Cybertruck.' More importantly, '[redacted] intends to uses [sic] specific Tesla manufactured vehicles for target vehicle training flight test events. In the operating theatre it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks [sic] as they have been found not to receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact,' it adds. 'Testing needs to mirror real world situations. The intent of the training is to prep the units for operations by simulating scenarios as closely as possible to the real world situations.' The document does not elaborate on the 'operating theatre' or 'the enemy' in question, and TWZ has reached out to the Air Force for more information. Tesla effectively eliminated its public relations department years ago, but we have also reached out to its investor relations department for comment. As of this spring, an estimated 46,000 Cybertrucks have been sold to date, though the exact number is unclear. Currently, Tesla only offers Cybertrucks for sale in North America, though examples have been exported elsewhere in the world. Tesla did announce in April that it was planning to start direct sales in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar before the end of the year. Without more context, it is hard to say what may have prompted the belief that U.S. adversaries might soon be driving Cybertrucks. It is worth noting that the primary targets for SOCOM's SOPGM arsenal, at least as they are publicly known, have been terrorists and militants, especially ones riding in cars and trucks, in the Middle East, South and Central Asia, and parts of Africa. The Cybertruck's windows and side panels have been shown to be bullet-resistant, stopping subsonic pistol caliber rounds, something that was heavily touted with the vehicle was first unveiled in 2019. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has described the vehicle, which has a retail price starting at around $80,000, as being 'apocalypse-proof' in the past. At the same time, the Cybertruck has been dogged by recalls, controversies, and criticism over its actual performance, features (or lack thereof), safety issues, build quality, ownership terms of service, and more. There have been reports this year of flagging sales. TWZ did previously lay out a detailed case for a militarized uncrewed version of the Cybertruck, which you can find here. Multiple companies are now offering Cybertrucks with add-on armor and other features aimed at prospective law enforcement, military, and private security customers. There have been some sales of Cybertrucks to law enforcement agencies, including the Dubai Police. The U.S. State Department made headlines earlier this year over a possible purchase of Cybertrucks, a plan it subsequently said had been shelved indefinitely. The Dubai Police General Command has added the Tesla Cybertruck, the modern electric car with a futuristic design, to its tourist police luxury patrol fleet. — Dubai Policeشرطة دبي (@DubaiPoliceHQ) June 16, 2024 Last year, Ramzan Kadyrov, the dictatorial head of Russia's semi-autonomous Chechen Republic, also showed off several Cybertrucks with 12.7mm machine guns mounted in the back and claimed to have sent some of them to join the fighting in Ukraine. How and where Kadyrov, who the U.S. government and others have sanctioned, acquired the vehicles is unclear. He later claimed that Tesla had remotely disabled at least one of them. Kadyrov of Chechnya published a video with Tesla Cybertruck with a machinegun installed — Liveuamap (@Liveuamap) August 17, 2024 After complaining Elon Musk remotely disabled his souped-up Cybertruck, Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov claims he has sent two more that Tesla couldn't turn says he sent them to the "zone of the special operation" in Ukraine. This was presumably filmed elsewhere. — max seddon (@maxseddon) September 20, 2024 What we do know is that the Air Force is looking to buy a pair of Cybertrucks to fire missiles and bombs during testing and training events based on the possibility that American forces may encounter enemies driving them going forward.

Heartflow stock listing and IPO date draw near: AI-powered medtech aims for $1.3 billion valuation
It seems there's fresh blood pumping back into the IPO market. After a blowout initial public offering from Figma last week, investors might have another chance to get their heart rates up again soon. AT&T to pay $177 million in data breach settlement. Here's how to claim up to $5,000 Wells Fargo is rolling out company wide AI. It says everyone from branch tellers to investment bankers will benefit Want to get smarter? Neuroscience says 5 simple steps significantly boost memory, learning, and cognition Heartflow, a California-based medtech company that utilizes AI with imaging and diagnostics software to help evaluate cardiac and coronary diseases, is looking to list shares on the Nasdaq. In paperwork filed on Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Heartflow said it plans to offer 12.5 million shares, priced between $15 and $17. That could potentially raise more than $208 million. According to Reuters, Heartflow's target valuation could be as high as $1.3 billion. The company plans to trade under the ticker 'HTFL.' Personalized 3D-models of people's hearts Heartflow uses AI and other technology to scan patients for coronary and cardiac problems, creating three-dimensional models of patients' hearts. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the software the green light in 2022, and it's now being used in some markets to diagnose patients. Additionally, the company got a leg up last year when the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) expanded Medicare coverage to include platforms that use imaging results to look for signs of coronary disease, and the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a new Category I CPT code for those platforms. That gives doctors and clinics the go-ahead to start using the technology on a broader scale starting next year. According to the company's SEC filing, Heartflow says that as of the end of March 2025, it's been used to assess more than 400,000 patients. Revenues are growing but profits are elusive Heartflow generated $125.8 million in 2024, a 44% increase over the $87.2 million it made the year before, the company says. Revenue likewise grew 39% for the first quarter of 2025 to $37.2 million. However, the company saw a net loss of $96.4 million in 2024, wider than its net loss of $95.7 million in 2023. It warns in the filing that it expects to incur 'substantial losses in the foreseeable future [and] may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.' Bain Capital, Panorama Point Partners, and Capricorn Investment Group are among Heartflow's backers, according to Crunchbase. Bain led its most recent fundraising round, a Series F round in 2023, which raised $215 million. This is not the first time that Heartflow has attempted to go public. The company had planned to merge with a special purpose acquisition company during the SPAC frenzy of the early pandemic years, but it halted the plan in 2022, citing 'unfavorable market conditions,' as Fierce Biotech reported. Heartflow's IPO comes on the heels of another growing medtech company's public debut. Carlsmed, which specializes in AI-driven spine surgery technology, recently went public as well, with shares trading on July 23. Since then, the stock is down around 4.5%. Heartflow has not said when it plans to list its stock, although IPO calendar websites say the listing is expected this week. The company declined to comment on the timeline when reached by Fast Company.
