A Look On The Inside Of Nintendo’s DS

By Ian Bell Published February 4, 2005

Quote from the article:

“Starting from the rear of the case, we first removed the screws holding on the battery compartment cover. This revealed the Li-ion rechargeable battery, with a discharge capacity of 850mAh, which was marked “Made in China” but with no manufacturer name. The Nintendo DS will operate for up to 10 hours from a full charge. The Game Boy Advance SP model also runs for up to 10 hours from its internal Li-ion rechargeable battery, but battery capacity is only 600mAh. The higher power consumption of the DS is probably due to the additional display and the onboard microcontroller, with two central processing unit (CPU) cores.”

I found three Back-to-School gaming accessory deals I’d actually spend my money on

Skip the outdated gaming gear and focus on these three discounted accessories that are genuinely worth adding to a dorm room or study setup.

Back-to-School sales are everywhere right now, but gaming accessories are one category where it's surprisingly easy to end up with outdated gear that only looks like a bargain. A real deal isn't just about a lower price, but it also needs to be a product that's still genuinely worth buying. After digging through this year's discounts, I kept coming back to the same three products. Whether it's a lightweight esports mouse, a comfortable wireless headset, or a controller that turns a phone into a handheld console, these are the accessories I'd actually recommend picking up while they're on sale.

Xbox may be about to test a surprisingly clever way to digitize game discs

A delayed Insider update has fueled speculation that Microsoft could soon reveal Positron, a system that reportedly turns physical games into transferable digital licenses

Microsoft may be preparing to bring Positron to Xbox Insiders as early as next week. The company hasn’t announced the feature or confirmed when players might see it, but a delayed Insider build has given the rumor somewhere to land.

Xbox Insider lead Brad Rossetti teased that the postponed update would be worth the wait. Windows Central executive editor Jez Corden then suggested Positron may be involved. Corden had previously reported the codename after references to the project appeared in Xbox software.
