(The Verge / 2026-03-09 15:07)

Nintendo and Samsung have discounted a Mario-themed 256GB microSD Express card for the Switch 2 from $59.99 to $39.99 at major retailers. While not a historical low price, it is currently the most affordable storage upgrade option available.

The article notes that despite many Switch 2 games having small file sizes, some exceed 50GB, making additional storage useful given the console's 256GB internal SSD. It advises buyers to choose an affordable card from a trusted brand, as current models offer similar speeds.

The key clarification is that the newer, more expensive microSD Express cards are required for the Switch 2, and the standard microSD cards used for the original Switch are not compatible for game storage on the new console.

The main topics covered are a product discount, storage needs for the Switch 2, purchasing advice, and compatibility information.

Carney calls three by-elections in Canada that could grant him a majority

(BBC News / 2026-03-09 14:49)

Summary:
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called three by-elections on April 13 that could grant his Liberal Party a narrow majority in parliament, allowing easier passage of legislation and delaying the next election. The contests include two likely Liberal-held seats in Toronto and a closely contested suburban Montreal seat decided by a single vote in 2025, which is now being re-run due to a disputed mail-in ballot. Recent defections from the Conservatives have brought the Liberals close to a majority, with polls suggesting they could achieve one if successful in these races.

Main Topics Covered:
1. The political significance of the three by-elections for achieving a Liberal majority.
2. Details of the constituencies involved (two in Toronto, one in Montreal) and their recent electoral history.
3. The circumstances leading to the by-elections, including resignations and a court-ordered re-run.
4. The Liberal Party's campaigning efforts and the political context of recent MP defections.

(Latest from Tom's Hardware / 2026-03-09 14:42)

Thermal Grizzly, a computer accessories firm, was scammed out of approximately $46,000 by two separate suppliers on Alibaba.
