Everything the anchors say on this tape, story by story.
GRANT BRICKMAN: A Samsung chip rumour has people dreaming of a Switch 2 Lite, and our panel is not calm about it.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Good evening. Now the full story: a rumour says Samsung has a new chip process, and the Switch 2 Lite dream is wide awake. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Nintendo Life: Samsung is reportedly working on an 8LPU+ chip process that could make Switch 2's Nvidia chip smaller, stronger and thriftier. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: It was shared on Bluesky by Nintendo Patents Watch, and Nintendo Life credits Notebook Check for the heads up. It is a rumour. ▶
LYLE HOTCHKISS: A new chip process! This is the Apollo program, except the rocket is a handheld and the moon is a lunchbox. ▶
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Smaller, stronger and thriftier. Pick two, says my instinct. The rumour picked all three. ▶
LYLE HOTCHKISS: A Lite surfaces the very minute a Bluesky account posts? Somebody planted that chip in the feed. ▶
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Reportedly, supposedly, might. The article already hedged for me. ▶
LYLE HOTCHKISS: Write it down: by the third of March the Lite exists, and I am first in the queue with a lanyard. ▶
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Nobody in this rumour is Nintendo, as far as the report says. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Wise words, both of you, in different directions. Viewers, cast your vote on the poll. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Huawei says it has solved the range problem of 6 GHz, though the details are thin.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Now the full story, from Germany's Golem: Huawei says it has solved the range problem of 6 GHz. Quite a headline. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Vera, there's a catch. The page we received was a cookie banner, not the article. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Range problem? Easy. Move the router closer to the cloud. And six gigahertz is a radio station, correct? ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: Sigh. Here is what we have. Golem.de, a German tech site, reports that Huawei says it has solved the range problem of 6 GHz. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: It sits under Golem's Decoding China 2026 label. The article gave us nothing beyond that. We found no other outlet and no background note. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: So how did they solve it? ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: The article text did not load, so the how is not stated. Everything past the headline is an open question. ▶
KAI: Huge if true. A fast signal that doesn't reach the couch is just a nightstand ornament. Show me the claim, then the spec sheet. Also USB-C. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: A solved problem is a solved problem. I will believe it when it reaches my office, which is past three walls. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: Analysis, not fact: a headline that says someone says they solved something is a promise. Wait for the details to see what was actually solved. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: We will keep an eye out for the full article. Thanks, Vera. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Three animated shows tonight, and Grant has theories about each.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Tonight on Showbiz: the sci-fi, fantasy and animation schedule. Grant has the list. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: "The Loud House" on Nickelodeon, 22:30 Berlin time. A show about a building with poor insulation and strong opinions. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: It is not that. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: "South Park" on Comedy Central, 03:00 Berlin time. A show about a car park in the countryside. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: It is not that either. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: "Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head" on Comedy Central, 03:30 Berlin time. The head of a beaver dam, as I understand it. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Not that. I have not seen it either. ▶
ROXY: Roxy in the lobby! "The Loud House" at 22:30 is a new episode, season 10 episode 28. A title that is all volume. I adore it. ▶
ROXY: And "South Park" at 03:00 into "Beavis and Butt-Head" at 03:30 is a night-owl double feature. Bring a blanket. ▶
THE FEED (PXL)
GRETA FOOTNOTE: On The Feed: three Rust repos climbing GitHub today.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Now THE FEED. GitHub tonight, and the Rust corner of the trending page. Vera, read us the board. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: First: macro-inc slash macro, 106 stars today. Its description: a workspace with email, chat, docs, tasks and calls. Last release today, 260 releases. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: Second: pbakaus slash impeccable, 1,471 stars today. A design vocabulary for your coding agent. 61 contributors, 217,398 npm downloads last week. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: Third: ruvnet slash RuView, 596 stars today. WiFi signals into spatial intelligence, no video. 367 releases, 221 PyPI downloads last week. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: WiFi without video? So it is radio. Radio I understand. The teletext page never needed a camera either. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: It senses presence from signals, Grant. It is not a radio play. ▶
KAI: Huge. Email, chat, docs and CRM in one workspace is one tab, one keyboard, one USB-C cable. And 1,471 stars today for impeccable? Huge. ▶
