8BitDo's wireless Nintendo 64 controller is now available
The Nintendo 64, which launched in 1996, had an unusual three-prong controller design, with a single analog joystick in the center of the gamepad above the middle grip. The 8BitDo 64 offers the same buttons as the N64's controller in a more traditional layout, but while it's easier to hold, the lack of a second joystick limits its compatibility with modern games, which generally expect two. The 8BitDo 64 is compatible with the Switch, Switch 2 (after updating the controller's firmware), Windows, and Android devices and connects to consoles, PCs, and mobile devices using either a Bluetooth connection or a USB cable.
It also features more durable Hall effect joysticks and shoulder buttons which should help prevent it from developing stick drift over time. But if you're not planning to use it with the Analogue 3D (someday), the controller will potentially only be useful for playing classic N64 games through an emulator or the Nintendo Switch Online service but your GoldenEye 007 muscle memory may not perfectly transfer over to the updated button layout. Nintendo's own wireless N64 controller is a more accurate reproduction, but you still need to be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber to buy one.

Earnings live: AMD, Rivian, Lucid, Snap, and Super Micro Computer stocks fall after quarterly results
Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones. Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy. This week, investors will hear from Tyson (TSN), AMD (AMD), Snap (SNAP), McDonald's (MCD), Disney (DIS), Uber (UBER), Lyft (LYFT), Palantir (PLTR), and more when they report results. Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 66% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 10.3% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter. Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. Here are the latest updates from corporate America. Opendoor stock plunges on earnings after meme stock rally Opendoor (OPEN) stock sank precipitously following earnings. Shares of the iBuyer platform, which has become a retail investor darling in recent weeks, dropped as much as 19% despite beats on the top and bottom lines. The stock went on a wild ride in July as retail trader enthusiasm and a thesis from investor and Carvana spotter Eric Jackson bid up shares. Over the past month, Opendoor stock has climbed over 300%. That might be partly why the stock is selling off on the earnings news. The company reported a loss per share of $0.01 for the quarter, compared to estimates for a loss per share of $0.03. Revenue grew 4% annually to $1.6 billion, also above Wall Street analysts' expectations for revenue of $1.5 billion. For the third quarter, Opendoor forecast revenue from $800 million to $875 million. Snap stock drops on weaker-than-expected revenue growth Snap (SNAP) stock declined nearly 15% after Snap reported its slowest revenue growth in more than a year. The Snapchat-parent's net loss in Q2 increased to $263 million from $249 million a year ago. Second quarter revenue rose 8.1% to $1.34 billion, largely in line with estimates.

Super Micro stock tanks after quarterly revenue miss Super Micro Computer (SMCI) stock plunged 15% after the company's fiscal fourth quarter revenue fell short of estimates amid intense competition for AI server makers. Here's what Super Micro reported against Wall Street consensus estimates compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence: Lucid misses on both top and bottom lines, trims production forecast Yahoo Finance's Pras Subramanian reports: Read more here. Rivian reports mixed Q2 results, widens 2025 loss projection as tariffs and loss of EV tax credit bite Tariffs and other policies weighed on Rivian's (RIVN) bottom line in the second quarter. For the quarter, Rivian reported a $0.97 loss per share, compared to $0.77 expected, per Bloomberg consensus estimates, with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $667 million versus $493 million expected. The EV maker also did not report a gross profit. Rivian reported revenue of $1.303 billion, compared to $1.28 billion expected and $1.158 billion a year ago. The company also widened its full-year loss projection but increased its EBITDA guidance. Yahoo Finance's Pras Subramanian reports: Read more here. Rivian Q2 earnings preview: EV tax credit impact, R2 SUV update on the agenda Pure-play EV maker Rivian (RIVN) has been building toward profitability, but the loss of federal EV tax credits expiring at the end of September will likely hurt the company's ability to scale up sales.

Yum Brands stock falls amid underperformance in the US Yum Brands (YUM) stock fell over 3% on Tuesday after an earnings miss and weaker-than-expected sales in the US amid a tougher consumer environment. "Even with a solid overall top line performance, we have opportunities to improve performance in underperforming regions such as the US and parts of Europe, where challenges stem from gaps in value perception, inconsistent consumer experience, and innovation that has not fully resonated with consumers," Yum Brands CEO David Gibbs said on the earnings call. The Taco Bell parent company reported earnings per share of $1.44 adjusted versus $1.46 expected, according to estimates compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue for the quarter hit $1.93 billion, roughly in line with the $1.94 billion expected. US same-store sales for KFC and Pizza Hut fell 5% year over year. US system sales for Taco Bell grew 6%. Lemonade stock jumps on solid guidance Lemonade (LMND) stock jumped 8% in premarket trading as the insurance company kicked off its earnings call and reported a narrower loss than expected. In the second quarter, Lemonade posted a loss of $0.60 per share. Analysts were expecting an $0.80 per share loss. Revenue of $164.1 million beat estimates for $160.8 million and rose 34% from the same period a year ago. Gross profit increased by 109% year on year to $64.3 million, while gross margin improved by 14 points to 39%, the company said. Lemonade also raised its full-year revenue guidance to $710 million-$715 million. Listen to the earnings call here. Caterpillar warns of up to $1.5 billion tariff hit, profit misses on weak demand Caterpillar (CAT) is expecting a bigger hit from tariffs in the third quarter and the rest of 2025 than it initially projected, as President Trump's tariffs hit the industrial and manufacturing segment especially hard. The company flagged a tariff impact of $400 million to $500 million in the third quarter and $1.5 billion hit from costs tied to US tariffs in 2025. Caterpillar was able to offset some of the higher tariff costs; however, higher interest rates and a slowdown in US construction activity led to a pullback in demand for its products. The heavy machinery manufacturer reported adjusted earnings per share of $4.72 on revenue of $16.6 billion. Analysts were expecting adjusted EPS of $4.90 on revenue of $16.3 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Caterpillar stock fell less than 1% in premarket trading. Marriott cuts 2025 revenue forecast on soft travel demand Marriott (MAR) signaled it's seeing a slowdown in travel demand amid economic pressures, but more affluent consumers remain more resilient. The hotel chain's adjusted diluted EPS totaled $2.65, compared to estimates of $2.61, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence consensus estimates. Revenue per room increased 1.5% globally during the quarter. For the full year, Marriott forecast room revenue growth of 1.5% to 2.5%, moving its previous higher-end estimate of a 3.5% increase lower. 2025 adjusted profit is expected to be between $9.85 and $10.08 per share, also slightly lower than its earlier projection of $9.82 to $10.19 per share.

"This is transformational, the type of growth they're seeing," Ives said of Palantir's first billion-dollar quarter for revenue, comparing the company to AI-forward Big Tech behemoths like Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT).

Second quarter revenue rose 73% year over year, reaching $544.83 million. But it fell short of Wall Street's estimates for $552 million in sales. The company affirmed its full-year guidance of $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion in sales. For the third quarter, it expects $570 million to $590 million in sales. In June, Novo Nordisk (NVO) announced it was terminating an agreement to sell its blockbuster GLP-1 drug Wegovy on the Hims & Hers platform. Investors will be looking to the earnings call for more details on the fallout.

Clay confirms it closed $100M round at $3.1B valuation
In Brief Sales automation startup Clay has raised a $100 million Series C at a $3.1 billion valuation in a round led by CapitalG, confirming TechCrunch's report from June. The financing follows a $1.25 billion Series B round from six months ago and a $1.5 billion Sequoia-led tender offer announced a couple of months ago, which allowed most employees to sell some of their shares.

The Lenovo 15.6″ Laptop Is Almost Too Cheap to Be Real, Back-to-School Timing Couldn't Be Better
Trying to write a research paper on one half of a split screen or keep a dozen browser tabs open on an aging computer can feel like balancing books on a wobbly shelf. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6″ Full HD Laptop gives that shelf a sturdier frame. Open the lid and you see a bright, roomy display made for side-by-side windows, while the lightweight build rides easily from a kitchen table to a classroom desk without turning your backpack into dead weight. Head over to Best Buy to get the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6″ Full HD Laptop for just $230, down from its usual price of $450. That's a discount of $220 and 49% off. See at Best Buy The screen is the first real treat. Full HD resolution keeps lecture notes crisp and colors lively, and the narrow borders give you more picture without extra plastic. A matte finish helps tame glare, so sunlight through a café window won't wash out your spreadsheets. The Arctic Grey chassis looks professional enough for an internship interview yet casual enough for late-night streaming. Under the hood, an Intel Core i3-N305 processor teams up with 8 gigabytes of memory to handle typical multitasking without the spinning-wheel frustration. You can keep a video call running, edit a slide deck, and stream a study playlist all at once without watching the system stutter. A fast 128-gigabyte UFS drive means Windows wakes from sleep in seconds and apps pop open before you lose your train of thought. Typing is comfortable thanks to a full-size keyboard that includes a number pad for quick data entry. Keystrokes feel steady rather than mushy, so long essays flow without extra hand strain. The large touchpad supports multi-finger gestures, making it easy to zoom into PDFs or swipe between virtual desktops. Above the display, a 720p webcam keeps you looking clear on group calls, and a physical shutter slides across when privacy matters. Ports are friendly to real-world gear. Two USB-A slots welcome everything from presentation clickers to flash drives, while a USB-C port handles quicker data moves and doubles as an extra charging option. HDMI lets you plug into a dorm TV or conference room projector, and Wi-Fi 6 keeps connections stable even when everyone else in the apartment is streaming. Battery life stretches through lectures and still leaves enough juice for an evening recap of notes. A quick-charge feature bumps the level during lunch, so you return to work feeling ready rather than tethered. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6″ Full HD Laptop remains available for $230 at Best Buy, a noticeable drop from the regular $450 price and a welcome upgrade for anyone tired of juggling slow, cluttered screens.
