Gamers must need to beware as Nintendo Switch 2 can go offline permanently if one uses Mig flash cartridge. To simplify the process, if a gamer pirates video games or decides to play the copy of a game, Nintendo will take punitive measures. Perpetrators will receive error code 2134-4508 which then leads to permanent banning of the gamers' consoles, The Verge reported. The Switch 2 has smashed records to become the fastest-selling console ever after gamers snapped up 3.5 million units in its first four days, Nintendo said earlier in June.Mig cartridge is used as a handy tool for playing pirated video games.The Japanese game giant said the Switch 2 had reached "the highest global sales level for any Nintendo hardware within the first four days". It also broke industry records, analysts said, beating the first Switch and Sony's PlayStation 5, which respectively sold 2.7 million and 3.4 million units in their first month. Featuring a bigger screen and more processing power, the console is an upgrade to the original Switch -- the third best-selling console of all time.Nintendo forecasts it will sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles in the current financial year, roughly equal to the original in the same period after its release. But it will also need to convince enough people to pay the high price for its new device.The Switch 2 costs $449.99 in the United States, compared to a launch price of $299.99 for the original Switch. Both are hybrid consoles which can connect to a TV or be played on the go. A Japan-only version is cheaper, at 49,980 yen ($350).New games such as "Donkey Kong Bananza" and "Mario Kart World" -- which allow players to go exploring off-grid -- are also more expensive than existing Switch titles. There are also Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.A1.

Japanese porn star involved in THE BOYZ controversy breaks silence on Ju Haknyeon's prostitution allegations
THE BOYZ's Ju Haknyeon has been removed from the K-pop group over his alleged ties with Japanese adult video actor Asuka Kirara. His agency, One Hundred, confirmed on June 18 that they're moving forward as a 10-member act after terminating Ju's contract, following media reports that had exploded online. In response, Ju dropped a handwritten note shutting down the allegations and filed both civil and criminal complaints against the agency for what he called an unfair removal. Now, for the first time, Asuka Kirara has spoken up, and she's made it clear: she never took money for sex, not from Haknyeon, not from anyone. Also read: THE BOYZ controversy explained: Ju Haknyeon reported to police after group exit over alleged prostitution; CEO issues apology On June 20, Asuka tweeted straight from her X handle, addressing the controversy head-on. While everyone online had something to say, she pointed out that the Japanese tabloid Shūkan Bunshun hadn't even published its article yet. Kirara claimed someone at the bar that night took a photo and sold it off. 'There are a lot of speculations going around, but the Shūkan Bunshun article hasn't come out yet. Please don't spread false information. I have never once in my life engaged in paid sex acts (prostitution) in private. Of course, this time too. A woman who was there for the first time seemed to like Haknyeon, so she had her photo taken and sold to Bunshun,' she said, as translated by Koreaboo. A day after his removal from THE BOYZ was made public, Ju dropped a separate note, making it clear he never ended the contract from his side. He claimed the agency demanded a hefty amount from him as compensation for damages, even though, in his words, he wasn't involved in anything illegal to begin with. Ju said he's taking legal action against the agency and all media outlets pushing false stories about him, and has already filed both criminal and civil lawsuits. Earlier, Haknyeon admitted in a handwritten letter that yes, he was at the Tokyo gathering on May 30, but denied any illegal activity, calling all prostitution claims baseless and damaging. 'I want to hold the agency accountable for kicking me out without reason. And I'll go all the way to reveal the truth. I hope this gives someone out there a little hope,' he said. 'If there is evidence of prostitution, please disclose it to me immediately. Also, I have never left the team and have never agreed to the termination of my exclusive contract.' Also read: 'I'm scared': Ju Haknyeon says he never left THE BOYZ, to file criminal lawsuit against agency for demanding money over 'false' prostitution case Born in 1988, Asuka started her AV career in 2007. She has a huge fan base in Korea and has won several major awards as well. In fact, she held fan meets in Seoul in 2017 and 2018 and even bagged a Korean Arts & Culture award in 2023 under the Overseas Model category. But this isn't the first time she's been linked to a celebrity. Back in the day, she was said to have dated Hey! Say! JUMP's Inoo Kei after the two were photographed in Singapore. His agency quickly denied it, and Kirara's team backed the denial. In 2024, Asuka went public with a relationship with Hilock, a YouTuber who is 12 years younger than her. They never publicly broke up, so now fans are divided—are they still together? And does Ju really have nothing to do with any of this? On the other hand, the K-pop star has said he waited a long time for the truth to come out, referring to his hiatus that the agency earlier claimed was due to personal reasons. But now, he feels like he'll have to fight for it.

Dixon third company to come up in electronics hub
Noida: Dixon Technologies has secured 22.5 acres in YEIDA's electronics manufacturing cluster (EMC) in Sector 10 near the upcoming Noida International Airport, becoming the third company to join the hub. Officials said on Friday that Dixon has received a letter of intent (LoI) for setting up its manufacturing unit for mobile phones, consumer electronics, telecom equipment, lighting products, and white goods. YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh informed Dixon Technologies that their proposal was approved in-principle. However, the final allotment was subject to clearance from the Invest UP Empowered Committee and adherence to state policy guidelines and regulatory norms. Recently, approvals were issued to two other firms — Ascent-K Circuit and Aurionpro ToshiAutomatic Systems — for units under the central govt's EMC 2.0 scheme. The land allotment in the 206 acre cluster gained strong traction from top industrial players, officials said. YEIDA officials said the land acquisition process was ongoing, and provisional LoIs were issued in line with policy clearances. "With Dixon joining the cluster, officials expect the EMC in Sector 10 to emerge as a key electronics manufacturing hub in north India, catalysing further investment and job creation in the region," the CEO added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Utendorf: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo The EMC 2.0 in Sector 10 received in-principle approval from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) during the 7th Project Review Committee meeting held on April 11. Havells India Ltd has been designated as the anchor unit and is allotted 50 acres within the cluster. Dixon Technologies operates 12 plants in Noida and one in Greater Noida, managed by its subsidiaries and joint ventures.

Japan discovers game-changing metal that boosts Hydrogen output by 1,000%—world closer to fossil-free future
Japan has revealed an effective way to move toward a green future, as researchers at the RIKEN Institute have a new way of producing green hydrogen, as per a report. A New Hope for Green Hydrogen While countries like Spain are producing green hydrogen by using renewable energy sources to do electrolysis of water, Japan has found a way to produce the green energy on a sustainable scale, as per the Farmingdale report. Recently, the most popular way of producing hydrogen is via PEM electrolysers, which use a proton exchange membrane as the electrolyte, due to its greater efficiency and ability to respond rapidly to intermittent energy sources, according to the Farmingdale report. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo ALSO READ: No Kings protest takes toll: Trump's approval rating hits -6, marking sharpest drop in months The PEM Electrolyser Problem However, it's not a sustainable model because PEM electrolysers are very expensive and also require efficient catalysts that can resist corrosion in acid and therefore use platinum or iridium, which are rare and expensive metals, reported Farmingdale. It is used because iridium catalysts can prolong the oxygen conversion reaction and produce huge quantities of hydrogen, as per the report. Live Events Japan's Game-Changing Discovery But now, researchers at Japan's RIKEN Institute discovered that there is a cheap material which is capable of doing the same thing, according to the report. Japanese researchers studied and used a common metal, manganese, and modified its three-dimensional structure to create the first efficient and sustainable PEM electrolyser without rare metals, as per the Farmingdale report. According to the report, the researchers developed a manganese oxide (MnO2) catalyst by manipulating the lattice structure of the material to form stronger bonds with oxygen atoms. This improved MnO2 is even more stable than any other non-noble metal catalysts and even maintains the reaction with water for much longer, generating 1,000% more hydrogen, reported Farmingdale. As per a study published in Nature Catalysis, MnO2 can increase the lifespan of other cheap catalysts by a factor of 40, reported Farmingdale. The researchers found that this material is more resistant to dissolution in acid and is also more stable during the reaction, Farmingdale. During the laboratory tests, the researchers found that the catalyst operated for more than 1,000 hours at 200 mA/cm² and produced 10 times more hydrogen than any other materials, as per Farmingdale. Farmingdale wrote, "Future modifications to the manganese structure could further increase the current density supported by the material and the lifetime of the catalyst, with the long-term aim of making water electrolysis iridium-free." FAQs What did Japanese scientists discover? They found a way to use manganese, a cheap and common metal, to replace expensive rare metals in hydrogen production, which will make the process more affordable and sustainable, as per the Farmingdale report. Why is this important? Because green hydrogen could be a key part of a fossil-free energy future, and Japan's discovery could help make it widely accessible.
