So much personality in each of the tasks it takes on.

UK Announces Digital Wallet for IDs and Driver's Licenses
Very excited for this, my Apple Wallet is packed full of stuff and the only thing I'd keep in an actual wallet that hasn't made it in yet is a form of ID.
This feature was announced about 4 years ago, so it's taken a bit of time but good to see it is on it's way. 4 years actually feels like quite a long time given how quickly UK banks rolled out Apple Pay compatibility.

Nintendo Switch 2 – First-look trailer
My first Nintendo was the NES, followed by the GameBoy, the Nintendo 3DS and then the Wii.
It's been close to 20 years since my last purchase of a Nintendo console but I've been thinking about a Switch for a bit... With the Switch 2 on the way, maybe this is the year?
The bigger screen is not important to me at all, but the larger Joy-Con controllers looks great and would be more comfortable to hold when playing on the go.
I'd add it all to Good Gear Club but there's no pricing information available just yet.

I remember doing this, back in the 90s. More likely for TV shows we tapped rather than movies.
