Nintendo’s buzzy new alarm clock has been jailbroken by a hacker named Gary who figured out the device’s boot sequence and found a way to exploit and run code through USB. It opens up the possibility for some interesting hacks, but to start we have cat pictures and plasma effects.
Gary previously created a Wii U DNS exploit and chimed in on dying Wii Us.
The automakers describe the yet-to-be-revealed EV as “a nimble SUV with the sharp driving characteristics of a BEV” with “ample cruising range.” Production is scheduled for spring 2025 at Suzuki Motor Gujarat.
I would love to see them make an electric rickshaw or motorcycle as well.
