We love the Nintendo Switch here on this site. But if you have a Nintendo Switch, it is possible the analog sticks in your controller may start to experience symptoms of drift. What is drift? Drift is what happens when your controller starts to do things you aren’t telling it to, either by ignoring your inputs or creating inputs of their own.
So, if your Joy-Con is drifting, what do you do? You can get Nintendo to repair your drifting controller here. Here’s what the experience was like for us:

Tales from IT – Upgrading to the M1 Mac January 15, 2021
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos, Tales from IT.add a comment
We’ve got a new Tales from IT! Apple has launched their line of custom processors and the computers that have these processors are available for purchase right now. Many friends and peers of mine are finally putting away their 5-10 year old MacBooks for good and upgrading to these new powerful systems.
But what is a Mac user to do with their years and years of files and data, especially if they have not created any backups? Apple will not take any responsibility for your data (unless it’s being stored on the iCloud), so asking a Genius to transfer your files, settings and programs is not an option. You can however, call a different kind of professional.
Watch the video below and find out what it was like to do a complete data transfer to a new M1 Mac. You’ll even get some tips and pointers along the way.

HP X360 Chromebook Review December 16, 2020
Posted by Maniac in Reviews, Site Videos.add a comment
I think this is the first video review we’ve done on a piece of hardware in a very long time. We spent a lot of the past four months using a Chromebook for work-related purposes, the low specs on the Dell machine we were provided at work left us with a lot to be desired. As we looked for a new computer we could do work with, HP released this Chromebook, the X360, with decent specs, and a glorious 2K touchscreen.
Let’s take a closer look at it. We’re going to tell you what the X360 is capable of, what parts of the laptop we liked and disliked, and then we try gaming on it. Someone on Twitter told me I couldn’t play Cyberpunk 2077 on a Chromebook. They were wrong.
Super Mario Bros Game and Watch Unboxing December 7, 2020
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
As part of the Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary Nintendo released this year’s must-have collectors item, the Super Mario Bros Game and Watch.
The original Game and Watch was invented by the man who would go on to create Game Boy and Metroid, the late Gunpai Yokoi. It was designed as a simple electronic game for older executives to pass the time during their commute on mass transit. Unlike the Game Boy, each Game and Watch was a standalone handheld, and while games were not interchangeable they would work as soon as you pulled them out of the box and put some batteries in them. Many games would get released on the platform, and the handheld’s main character would later receive immortality when they re-appeared in Super Smash Bros Melee as the final unlockable character.
It is a standalone gaming handheld that shipped preloaded with the first two l Super Mario Bros games, as well as a clock and Ball game. We were lucky enough to get one of these at launch and here’s our unboxing of it in glorious 4K UHD.
Seriously who else is hoping Nintendo might consider a Legend of Zelda version of this?
