Even if it is just for a few weeks, it will be nice to not be bombarded with Switch 2 hardware leaks.

Not everyone is sold on the industrial design choices made with Switch 2. The Joy-Con connectors seem solid in the video, but that little part sticking out of the Switch 2 might snap off...

Meanwhile on Xiaohongshu (Red Note)
Xiaohongshu is kind of a mouthful. How about we just call it X instead?

Western TikTok refugees are learning about the cost of living in China on Red Note, and are considering communism more seriously.

This is why they want to ban TikTok pic.twitter.com/QdgQ0mR3e8

MrBeast announces that after meeting with several billionaires, he has officially made an offer to buy TikTok before it gets banned 😭🔥 pic.twitter.com/UJZhBguUnZ
— FearBuck (@FearedBuck) January 15, 2025
Mr. Beast is trying to organize a coalition of billionaires to buy TikTok, but what he doesn't realize is that communists don't share his profit motive and the CCP is probably good with just taking their data and going home. Maybe Beast should try to get these billionaires to fund social programs in America, instead?

Quality content like this knows no borders or app limitations. Hopefully, the talented TikTok creators are able to find a new home on other platforms if the ban does happen.
