Oblivion Remastered is running surprisingly well on Switch 2, and that’s making some fans angry because console versions runs like trash The new Switch 2 version looks sharp and runs fairly well, thanks to extra optimization and DLSS but Bethesda hasn’t released a new update for console versions since July 2025. Now fans are asking why the Switch 2 version got these improvements while the other consoles are still waiting. The good news is Bethesda has heard the complaints, the company says it’s looking at bringing some of the Switch 2 optimizations to PS5 and Xbox in a future patch. The Switch 2 version also has another problem, physical copies are already sold out at some retailers

Elon Musk paid $44 billion in 2022 to buy Twitter and keep the town square open. That purchase is why Europe can now see, on X, what commercial television still refuses to hold in frame. Prime time still sells illegal and mass immigration as a humanitarian weather segment: crossings are “down,” the story is compassion, and the angry local is the problem. The record is less tidy. Frontex logged about 381,000 irregular border detections in 2023, 240,000 in 2024 and roughly 178,000 in 2025. A real drop from the peak — and still a city-sized inflow outside the legal front door in a single year. Legal inflows are larger still. Failed returns leave a stock that does not vanish when the chyron says the crisis has eased. Housing lists, hotel bills and street-level crime reports keep arriving in towns the studio never visits. YouGov’s late-2025 Europe polling found 45–53% in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark and Poland support a hard stop: no new arrivals, and large numbers of recent migrants required to leave. Majorities say irregular immigration is already too high. Oxford’s Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2026 found immigration the major story audiences think newsrooms cover worst. In the UK the net score on that coverage was brutally negative. Trust in news is at a record low. That is the split. Television gives you the approved sentence. X gives you the dinghy, the hotel coach, the town-hall microphone and the local voice before the lawyered voiceover. The EU has spent the years since 2022 treating that speech as a product defect. Musk did not buy comfort. He bought the right to look at Europe as it is.

OPTICAL NETWORKING DAILY UPDATE - OCTOBER 15, 2026 NEW COMPANY • Eliyan (private, Santa Clara, California): a connectivity chiplet vendor added after its NuLight 2D microVCSEL optical interconnect platform launch at OCP Global Summit 2026, verified from its October 14, 2026 release. NEW PRODUCTS • Eliyan: NuLight Nexus, a 1.6T reverse gearbox chiplet (TSMC 3nm) converting each 212G PAM4 host link into four 53G NRZ optical lanes for microVCSEL arrays; modular slices scale to 6.4T near-package and 12.8T XPO configurations. Introduced October 14, 2026, sampling now. No public part number in the release. • Eliyan: NuLight Oscar, the electrical interface chip of the NuLight platform, providing laser driver and TIA interfaces to microVCSEL and photodiode arrays; with Nexus it forms a fully retimed slow-and-wide optical link with on-the-fly spare-lane repair. Introduced October 14, 2026, sampling now. No public part number in the release. SCREENING NOTES • Ayar Labs: A claimed S1Pro 6.4T CPO announcement remains unverified after three days of checking across the Ayar newsroom and the major wires; it should not be treated as a confirmed product. Ayar's actual in-window news is the October 12 to 13 Wiwynn and GUC live CPO demonstration at OCP (TeraPHY optical engine plus SuperNova light source). • Astera Labs: No new product on October 14 or 15. Aries 7 was announced October 8, 2026, not October 14, and a claimed October 14 Leo CXL sampling item could not be verified. In-window items are OCP demonstrations of existing products. • Credo: An EDGAR rescan found no 8-K or 6-K dated October 14 or 15, 2026 across all 28 covered US tickers. Credo's October 14 EDGAR entries are Form 4 insider filings only, and its October 13 OmniConnect Weaver demonstration was a press release, a memory fanout gearbox demo on AMD Versal, which is not optical. Claims of Celestica or Nokia 6-Ks dated October 14 do not exist in EDGAR. • Coherent: Its only October 14, 2026 release is the fiscal 2027 first-quarter earnings timing notice (results November 4, 2026), which is not a product announcement. Optical product items circulating with October dates are March and September conference items recrawled. • FS: October 2026 dates on FS product pages are dynamic page elements, not launch dates: the newest verifiable FS launch remains the July 1, 2026 800G ZR/ZR+ coherent family. • Huawei: Its October 15, 2026 NetworkX presentation in Vienna covered the LIGHTS all-optical network vision and next-generation OTN framing, with no named new product, part number, or availability date. • Lightmatter: The open-rack CPO release (Passage CPO switch tray with Flex, Guide DR laser modules, vClick Optics, SENKO SEAT connectivity) is datelined October 12, 2026, not October 14, and was already reported. October 14 and 15 items are coverage of that release, with no status change. • Marvell: October 14 coverage is a recrawl of the October 13 Alaska E and Alaska A release already reported, plus OCP booth demonstrations of existing parts. No new product or status change. • NVIDIA: No new optical product on October 14 or 15. Circulating items are recrawls (the US AI supercomputer manufacturing announcement is from April 2025) and non-optical software news. • POET Technologies: No company release on October 14 or 15; its latest newsroom release is dated October 1, 2026. No status change. • Ribbon Communications: A claimed October 14, 2026 acquisition of INSITECH could not be verified in Ribbon's newsroom or EDGAR and was not recorded. • Luxshare Precision: UNCHECKED on October 15, 2026. Its pinned newsroom listing could not be verified in two attempts: a text fetch failed and a live browser found the domain presenting as parked or for sale, with no newsroom content. Cached copies still show a May 28, 2026 item as newest, but that is not a live check, so the source does not count as checked today. This is the second consecutive failed run for this source.

OPTICAL NETWORKING DAILY UPDATE - OCTOBER 14, 2026 NEW PRODUCTS • Marvell: Alaska E 3.2T protocol-aware retimer (16x 224G PAM4, 3.2 Tbps aggregate, Ethernet/UALink/ESUN, 3nm), announced October 13, 2026 at OCP Global Summit 2026 and now sampling to customers. No public part number in the release. • Marvell: Alaska A 1.6T AEC DSP, second generation (3nm, 8x 224G PAM4, 12.8W, AEC reach beyond 6m, double the first generation), announced October 13, 2026 and now sampling. Successor to the first-generation Alaska A. No public part number in the release. DESIGN WIN • Ciena: Space Norway awarded Ciena a turnkey contract on October 13, 2026 to modernize its legacy Svalbard subsea cable systems and power the new Arctic Way system (service expected 2028), using the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, WaveLogic 6 Extreme, Spectrum Sharing and Navigator NCS. No contract value disclosed. SCREENING NOTES • Ayar Labs: A claimed October 13 S1Pro 6.4T CPO announcement remains unverified after two days of checking across the Ayar newsroom and the major wire services; it should not be treated as a confirmed product. Ayar's actual October 13 news is a live CPO demonstration with Wiwynn and GUC at OCP (TeraPHY optical engine plus SuperNova light source), a demonstration only. • FS: A claimed October 13, 2026 launch of 800G ZR/ZR+ coherent modules does not check out: the family launched July 1, 2026, and the October 13 date on the product pages is a dynamic page element, not a launch date. • NVIDIA: Spectrum-6 coverage circulating with October dates is not a new launch: Spectrum-6 was unveiled in July 2026, and the in-window items are the October 12 Vera Rubin OCP contribution and Meta's adoption of Spectrum-6 switches. • Astera Labs: No new product or status change. In-window items are re-posts of the Aries 7 signal-conditioning portfolio (announced October 8, 2026), the Orion rack-scale reference design (October 12), and the previously reported 1060 nm VCSEL PCIe-over-optics demo (October 12). • POET Technologies: No company release on October 13 or 14, 2026; the coverage is third-party stock analysis. No sampling-to-production or GA transition is stated, and no status change. • Lumentum: No change. The CEI-448G interoperability framework dates to late 2025, not an October 13 announcement, and the October 12 VCSEL PCIe-over-optics demo was already reported. • Lightmatter: Analyst coverage dated October 13, 2026 describes the Passage open-rack systems reported earlier in the week; Passage M1000 is already generally available, so the analyst "now shipping" wording changes nothing. A Guide DR laser module is mentioned without a vendor product page, part number or GA date. • Credo: ams OSRAM joined the Credo-led OCP short-reach micro-emitter optics (SRMO) workstream on October 13, 2026. Standards participation only, no product.

Merkle3s Weekly Recap: June nonfarm payrolls massively miss expectations; BTC rebounds from $58,000 to $64,000; Strategy sells BTC for the first time to fund dividends, sending ripples through the market; Robinhood Chain goes live — tokenized equities enter the brokerage-owned chain era; CLARITY Act final text expected July 4 1️⃣ Macro: NFP Shock, Warsh Shifts Tone ➡️ June nonfarm payrolls came in at just +57K (vs. +113K expected), with April–May revised down by a combined 74K. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2%, but only because the labor force participation rate plunged to 61.5% (lowest since March 2021) as workers dropped out of the labor force. Leisure & hospitality shed 61K jobs in a single month — unusual heading into summer ➡️ At the ECB Sintra Forum on July 1, Warsh said inflation remains "too high" but risks have moderated, highlighting AI-driven productivity gains as a "significant disinflationary force." The tone was softer than his first FOMC meeting but he firmly rejected cutting rates under political pressure. The June FOMC minutes (Warsh's first meeting) drop July 8 — markets will scrutinize the arguments behind the 9 members who penciled in hikes ➡️ Classic "bad news is good news" reaction: stocks rallied, the dollar weakened, and gold/BTC bounced after the NFP miss. July hike odds fell to single digits, but the July 14 CPI report is the next key test 2️⃣ BTC: $58,000 → $64,000 Rebound, Strategy Sells BTC for the First Time ➡️ opened the month around $58,300 and rebounded to roughly $64,000, a ~7% weekly gain. The Fear & Greed Index recovered from 12 but remains in Extreme Fear territory. The 200-week MA (~$61,000–62,000) has been reclaimed as near-term technical support ➡️ Strategy sold 3,588 BTC (~$216M) between June 29 and July 5 to fund dividends on $STRF, $STRE, $STRK, $STRD, and $STRC. This marks Strategy's first meaningful BTC sale in years — representing only ~0.4% of total holdings (843,775 BTC) — but the market reacted sharply, with BTC briefly dipping to ~$61,000 on the news. Saylor emphasized this is routine capital structure management, not a strategic shift 3️⃣ Robinhood Chain Goes Live — Tokenized Equities Enter the Brokerage-Owned Chain Era ➡️ On July 1, Robinhood officially launched its own blockchain (built on Arbitrum), integrating DeFi protocols for tokenized stocks, RWA, perpetuals, and lending. Day-one partners include Uniswap (AMM), Morpho (lending), Chainlink (oracles), and 1inch (aggregator) ➡️ Why it matters: a major brokerage managing tens of billions in crypto assets now controls its own on-chain infrastructure, enabling 24/7 tokenized equity trading across 120+ countries. This marks RWA's shift from "third-party protocol issuance" to "brokerage-owned chain" infrastructure 4️⃣ Prediction Markets: World Cup Keeps Fueling Volume, Polymarket Monthly Volume Tops $10B ➡️ Polymarket recorded approximately $10.26–10.8B in June volume (up ~45% MoM), with the World Cup contributing over $6.6B. The broader prediction market industry (Kalshi + Polymarket + Polymarket US) hit ~$44.8–45B in June (up ~75% MoM) ➡️ Knockout rounds continue drawing massive capital: England vs. Mexico ~$58M, Portugal vs. Spain ~$29.9M. Prop markets have even emerged — "Will Ronaldo cry at the World Cup?" saw $2.6M in 24-hour volume with sharp probability swings 5️⃣ Pump fun: Daily Revenue Among DeFi's Top Two ➡️ Pump fun generates approximately $800–850K in daily revenue, annualizing to ~$398M in fees, with cumulative revenue approaching $1B. 50% of net revenue is programmatically routed to $PUMP buybacks and burns, maintaining a deflationary flywheel ➡️ ~25,000–31,500 new tokens launched daily, sustaining 60%+ market share. $PUMP currently trades at ~1.9x annualized revenue — a relatively low valuation multiple 6️⃣ CLARITY Act Final Text Expected July 4, Floor Vote by Month-End ➡️ Senator Lummis plans to release the CLARITY Act's final text on July 4, with a Senate floor vote targeted after the chamber reconvenes on July 13. SEC Chair Atkins is simultaneously advancing "Project Crypto," publicly committing to making the US the "crypto capital of the world" ➡️ Trump made multiple pro-crypto remarks this week, calling himself a "big crypto fan." The DOJ is working with Treasury and Commerce to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve under the March 2025 executive order
