Every Best Buy store will have Nintendo Switch 2 consoles on July 17th

It's been over a month since the Switch 2's record-breaking launch, and the console is becoming easier to get with each restock. However, if you've been waiting for the launch of Donkey Kong Bananza to buy one, Best Buy sneakily announced that its next in-store restock will happen Thursday, July 17th, the game's launch day. Every Best Buy location will have consoles in stock. Best Buy's in-store restock announcement doesn't mention whether both the standalone console ($449.99) and Mario Kart World bundle ($499.99) will be available, or if one will be available in higher quantities than the other. It only states that stores will have 'limited quantities.' We've reached out to Best Buy for more specific information, and we'll update this story if we receive a response. If you prefer shopping online, you can request an invite to order the Nintendo Switch 2 console and Mario Kart World bundle at Amazon. If you're on the fence about getting a Switch 2, read our review. Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we've tested sent to your inbox weekly.

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe's voting control slips following divorce settlement

Rivian founder and CEO RJ Scaringe has transferred a portion of his ownership stake and voting power as part of a newly settled divorce proceeding, according to a regulatory filing. Scaringe moved about 4 million in shares and 6 million in options to his ex-wife, Meagan Scaringe, on July 9 as part of the settlement, the filing shows. At Rivian's current stock price, those shares and options could be worth roughly $130 million, though they have varying strike prices that would affect the total return if sold. The change in stock ownership comes at the end of a two-year-long divorce proceeding, court documents show. Scaringe owned more than 15 million shares of Class A stock and nearly 8 million Class B shares when the company submitted its annual proxy report April 29. As a result of the transfer, Scaringe's voting power has slipped from 7.6% earlier this year to around 4%, the lowest since Rivian's 2021 IPO. The shift in stock ownership doesn't have an impact on Rivian's business or operations, according to the company. In an official statement emailed to TechCrunch, a spokesperson said 'RJ and Meagan finalized their divorce. They will continue to prioritize co-parenting their children.' The settlement comes at a pivotal time for Rivian. Rivian has redesigned its R1S SUV and R1T truck in a bid to lower manufacturing costs, while improving performance of its flagship vehicles. However, the company is banking on the next addition to its lineup — the highly anticipated R2 SUV that has a $45,000 base price — to grow sales. That vehicle won't go on sale until the first half of 2026. The ownership structure of Rivian has shifted since its IPO in 2021. At that time, Amazon and Ford were among the largest stakeholders. Today, Ford is essentially out and Volkswagen Group has emerged as a major player. In late 2024, Rivian entered into a joint venture valued at $5.8 billion with Volkswagen focused on software and electrical architecture. Rivian has provided technology and employees to the joint venture, while Volkswagen has largely contributed money in the form of share purchases and convertible debt. As a result, the German automotive giant now owns 12.3% of Rivian, according to a recent filing. That puts it slightly behind Amazon, which owned 14.2% of Rivian as of the April 2025 proxy filing. That's enough to give Amazon the most voting power of any single shareholder: 13.3%. (Ford and T. Rowe Price also used to be major shareholders after the IPO, but have since sold down their stakes.) Scaringe's ownership stake in Rivian was 2% prior to the divorce settlement, according to the proxy filing. But he had a 7.6% share of the voting power, thanks in part to the Class B stock, which comes with 10 votes per share. (Rivian's Class A stock only comes with 1 vote per share.) The transfer of shares and options in the settlement cuts his voting power to around 4%. Unlike many high-profile tech founders, Scaringe never had a tremendous amount of voting power post-IPO. The most he wielded was 9.2% in 2022. That figure remained unchanged in 2023, fell to 8.7% in 2024, and again to 7.6% in 2025 following the Volkswagen investment. The Class B stock included in the settlement was automatically converted into Class A stock, meaning Scaringe's ex-wife will not likely have much voting power relative to other shareholders if she maintains the holding. A lawyer representing her did not respond to a request for comment sent over the weekend. The CEO and founder still controls a mix of around 50 million shares, options, and Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs. As those fully vest, his ownership stake and voting power could go back up. Scaringe founded Rivian in 2009, and he was married in 2014. He took Rivian public in 2021. Records obtained from Orange County Superior Court show that he filed for divorce in October 2023, with his ex-wife agreeing to separate in another filing one month later.

DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal Stabilizer Holds Prime Day Price, but This New Release Won't Stay Low for Long

If you've ever been curious about why there's such a ginormous difference between those influencer smartphone videos and photos that you see on social media and the ones you post of your cat — even if you're using the exact same phone — it's probably because they have a hack that keeps their phone perfectly still and stable. The good news is, you don't need influencer cash to get one for yourself, and the better news is, you need less cash than you did just the other day. The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal Stabilizer is a small handheld device that lets you fully realize the cinematic power of the camera in your hand that also doubles as your smartphone, whether it's an iPhone or Android. Released just months ago, it's now on sale for the very first time at Amazon for just $125, nearly 20% off its debut price. See at Amazon Three-axis stabilization using the same technology DJI puts in its industry-best civilian drones, and a wide range of intelligent features are contained in a portable handheld device that folds down to just 7 by 3.7 by 1.8 inches and weighs less than a pound. The Osmo Mobile 7P tracks subjects with DJI's ActiveTrack 7.0 technology that keeps the subject locked in clear focus even in crowds or active environments. The level of control and enhancement your smartphone gets once it's clipped into the Osmo Mobile 7P is incredible. Integrated light control with multiple brightness levels, a side wheel for smoother zooming or a switch to manual focus, and other advanced yet easy to learn and operate features are there to help you create amazing cinema-quality videos and still photos that you won't believe came from your phone. The Osmo Mobile 7P is a selfie stick on steroids. It even resembles a selfie stick, but when you unfold it and mount your smartphone, the DJI Mimo app automatically pops up for instant filming. It extends like a selfie stick, but also has a built-in tripod and can even charge your smartphone. And when you're shooting actual selfies, the Osmo Mobile 7P responds to hand gestures for hands-free shooting, or you can use your Apple Watch as a remote control. You may love using your iPhone or Android smartphone to shoot funny movies to share with friends now, but after just a few uses of the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal Stabilizer, you'll be setting up your shots like Scorsese. You may end up becoming an influencer yourself, but even if you don't, this first-ever Amazon deal on the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal Stabilizer for just $125 is well worth it. See at Amazon
