Welcome to TNW Basics, a collection of tips, tricks, guides, and advice on how to get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff. The Nintendo Switch is an amazing console, but let’s face it: its small Joy-Con controllers can be a bit of a pill sometimes. They’re very useful and offer a great variety of movement, but when they’re not attached to the Switch, they’re tiny and very easy to lose. If you’re anything like me, you play Switch while curled up on a couch, wrapped in a blanket, and clutching a Joy-Con in each hand. I can’t…

Native Instruments recently updated its Maschine software to include full integration with Sounds.com accounts. I spent a few hours toying with it, and I’ve never been more inspired to start new music projects. Sounds.com is among the largest royalty-free curated sound and sample collections in the world. It’s a veritable cornucopia for producers, featuring over one million high-quality sounds that can be used to create music in every genre.

The existential threat of harmful AI recently reached ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’ proportions after a major research institute (checks notes…) modified the model size of a text generator. Apparently we’ve finally run out of real things to be scared of. What happened If you follow AI news you’ve already heard about it: OpenAI, a non-profit co-founded by Elon Musk (who’s no longer involved), developed a text generator and chose not to disclose the full model in its research paper. That’s it. It’s kind of boring actually. Don’t get us wrong, the text generator – called GPT-2 – is pretty cool. It…
