Nintendo seeks dismissal of US lawsuit demanding tariff-related refunds

Two US gamers sued Nintendo demanding refunds after tariffs that caused price hikes were deemed illegal. Nintendo raised prices for the original Switch and Switch 2 peripherals in August 2025, citing "market conditions" — a move widely linked to tariff impositions. Nintendo has now asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing customers received what they "bargained for."

Should Nintendo refund customers for price hikes caused by tariffs?

EU forces board Russian shadow fleet tanker in Mediterranean

EU forces boarded the tanker MV South Star on July 20 as part of Operation Irini, suspecting it of sailing under a false flag in violation of international maritime law. The vessel is believed to be part of Russia's so-called shadow fleet, used to circumvent Western sanctions. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced the inspection, signalling growing European pressure on Kremlin-linked shipping.

Should the EU regularly board and inspect Russian shadow fleet vessels?

New materials could cool buildings without air conditioning

Scientists are developing advanced materials that can keep buildings cool as temperatures rise, offering a potential alternative to conventional air conditioning. The research, published on 22 July 2026 in Nature, highlights breakthroughs in materials science that enable passive cooling without electricity. Such solutions could significantly reduce the enormous energy demand currently driven by air conditioning worldwide.

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is 2026's best fighter despite weak single-player

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, developed by Gameplay Group International, has been acclaimed as the best fighting game of 2026. The title is fast, fluid and packed with nuanced combat systems that reward skilled play and deep knowledge of the Avatar universe. Its main weakness is a lacklustre single-player offering that lets down an otherwise impressive package.

Do weak single-player modes disqualify a fighting game from being truly great?

Stephen Wolfram: the universe isn't random — it's driven by computational evolution

Physicist and Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe's complexity emerges from simple computational rules, much like biological complexity arises from evolution. He proposes that nature is neither random nor engineered, but governed by a principle he calls "computational irreducibility." The same rule that shapes living tissue and organisms is, he claims, a fundamental property of computation itself.

Earbuds using electrical brain stimulation promise better sleep and less stress

A new pair of hybrid earbuds uses transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) technology instead of soothing music to non-invasively support brain function during sleep and stress. The device monitors the user's physiological parameters and adjusts electrical stimuli accordingly. Makers claim the technology can help people suffering from insomnia and chronic stress, going beyond conventional sleep-sound solutions.

Are brain-stimulating earbuds a safe solution for insomnia and stress?

Two-ingredient homemade fertiliser makes tomatoes sweeter and bigger

Instead of synthetic fertilisers, gardeners can boost their tomato harvest with a homemade two-ingredient solution that supplies the nutrients needed for abundant fruiting. Regular application encourages flowering and fruit development, improving both the size and sweetness of the crop. The organic method is cheaper and gentler on the soil than chemical alternatives.

Are homemade organic fertilisers as effective as synthetic ones?

Rezvani has unveiled the Dune, an 800-horsepower off-road supercar that the brand claims leaves the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato looking tame by comparison. The vehicle combines extreme performance with serious off-road capability, going well beyond a simple lifted supercar formula. Rezvani is known for producing highly specialised, extreme vehicles aimed at a niche but enthusiastic clientele.

Do extreme off-road supercars like the Rezvani Dune make sense as road vehicles?
