Welcome to CHEAP, our brand-new series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! Ohhh damn – you can now get a Bose SoundTouch 20 speaker for $279.95! That’s $70 less than normal! Hurry up and fill your life with music! In previous CHEAP posts, we’ve covered some popular portable Bluetooth speakers (which are great by the way), but these type of devices aren’t for everyone.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Nintendo is working on two variants of its popular Switch game console, and aims to unveil them this summer. According to the outlet’s sources who have used both devices, they’re apparently not just ‘Lite’ and ‘Pro’ versions of the existing Switch, but are more varied than that. The pricier of the two is expected to come with ‘enhanced features targeted at avid videogamers,’ but it’s not going to be as powerful as Sony’s PS4 Pro or Microsoft’s XBox One X. That would imply that 4K HDR gaming is out of the question, but it’s…

It’s Monday, which means there’s a weekend’s worth of cryptocurrency and blockchain news to catch up on. Here are the headlines. 1.

WhatsApp seems to be testing another weapon in its arsenal to battle fake news – a label for messages forwarded five times or more. Last week, WABetaInfo reported that in a new beta version of its Android app, WhatsApp added counts for how many times a message has been forwarded, as well as a ‘frequently forwarded’ label. On its own, this feature will alert users about viral messages; the idea, presumably, is to encourage them to question the veracity of the contents of such messages doing the rounds on the platform. But on the flip side, the new label might encourage…
