EA plans to release the source code for its classic real-time strategy games Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Command and Conquer: Red Alert, the studio announced today. The source code for the two games is scheduled to be available alongside the release of Command and Conquer Remastered Collection, which includes remastered versions of both titles and their expansions, on June 5th.

By open sourcing the games, players should be able to use the assets to create mods that could, in theory, be quite extensive. "These open source DLLs should assist users to design maps, create custom units, replace art, alter gameplay logic, and edit data," said EA's Jim Vessella, producer on Command and Conquer Remastered, in a blog post. The open...

Instagram makes it easier to see when you’re broadcasting music you can’t use

Instagram has posted its guidelines for using copyrighted music during live videos, Stories, and other posts on the platform, and part of the announcement includes a new update to the notification that pops up to tell users they're using unlicensed art in ways that violate its rules. The changes to the pop-up notification are designed around helping users avoid Instagram's automated interruptions — like muting or outright blocking — that occurs if a piece of licensed music plays for too long over or in the background of a live video.

Now, the notification pops up earlier in live broadcasts to give users more time to remove the audio so they can avoid having the stream disrupted or taken down. Instagram will also give clearer...

Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition dresses up its flagship for the army

Posted: 20 May 2020 03:08 PM PDT

Samsung has announced yet another version of the Galaxy S20: the Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition, which promises a "mission-ready military smartphone." It's designed for a slightly different customer-base than the already-released S20, S20 Plus, S20 Ultra, or even the Verizon-only mmWave S20.

Despite the grand military branding and aspirations, the S20 Tactical Edition is effectively just a regular S20 phone with some extra software features and security options in a rugged Juggernaut case. From a hardware perspective, the Tactical Edition features identical specs, with a 6.2-inch OLED display, Snapdragon 865, 12GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, sub-6GHz 5G support, and triple rear camera system.

But according to Samsung, the...

Lego and Nintendo had already announced that their interactive Super Mario Lego starter set and two expansion packs would launch on August 1st, and the two companies announced today that four swappable outfits for Mario, called "Power-Up Packs," will also be released on the same day.

Inspired by the classic costumes from the Super Mario games, the Power-Up Packs not only change the appearance of Lego Mario but will also produce sounds for each corresponding suit.

Fire Mario, for example, makes a sound as if Mario is throwing a fireball, and Cat Mario will have him making "meow" noises. Propeller Mario makes propeller sounds when you have him "fly," and Builder Mario can "break bricks" when you bring Mario down for a ground pound attack.

E...

Tesla voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against Alameda County "without prejudice," according to documents filed in a California court Wednesday — but the company did not provide any reasoning for why it was dropping the suit.

The electric carmaker sued the county on May 9th, amid Tesla CEO Elon Musk's war of words with county officials over the shuttering of his company's manufacturing facility in Fremont, California.

The orders went into effect in mid-March in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. County officials restricted all but "essential businesses" from performing anything other than the most minimal operations, like processing payroll. After initially fighting...

Intel is acquiring the company behind Killer gaming networking cards

Intel has acquired Rivet Networks, the maker of Killer-branded NICs (network interface cards responsible for managing your connection) found in some laptops from popular brands like Dell, Alienware, HP, and other manufacturers. Killer's own networking products were noteworthy for providing gaming-centric features like minimizing latency to keep you from missing a beat in-game, and prioritizing network traffic for games and other applications that need it the most.

Rivet Networks has been a competitor to Intel in the NIC space for over a decade. With this acquisition, Intel can capitalize on the gaming market.

This acquisition isn't as out of left field as it might seem. A few years back, Intel and Rivet Networks collaborated to develop...

Here’s why Elon Musk keeps raising the price of Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ option

Tesla is raising the price of the top tier "Full Self-Driving" version of its Autopilot driver assistance package by around $1,000 on July 1st, CEO Elon Musk announced on Twitter this week. The company has done this before — a few times. It will probably do it again.

The "Full Self-Driving" package, to be clear, does not yet make Teslas capable of driving without human intervention. Right now, it gives customers access to a series of incremental improvements to Autopilot. But Musk believes the value of the feature, which currently costs $7,000, is higher. Much higher, in fact, once the work on the software is complete.

"[The] price will continue to rise as the software gets closer to full self-driving capability with regulatory approval....

Facebook will begin reopening its offices worldwide on July 6th with stringent safety measures in place, according to a new report from Bloomberg published on Wednesday. The reopening plan is part of a multistep process the social network has in place to begin restoring some of its in-person operations, which are crucial to its data center management and the development of hardware like the Portal video chatting device and its Oculus line of virtual reality headsets and accessories.

The company will begin by operating at 25 percent capacity, meaning only one-fourth of its standard workforce will ever be working in the same building at the same time. Those who do will be required to wear face masks and undergo temperature checks to...

A group of Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), is calling on the Trump administration Wednesday to launch an antitrust investigation into Uber and Grubhub if the two companies decide to merge.

In their Wednesday letter, Klobuchar, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) requested that the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission "closely monitor" talks of a deal between the two food delivery companies. If they reach an agreement, the senators are asking that the government "initiate an investigation."

Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that Uber made an offer to buy Grubhub and that a deal could be reached as early as June. Uber operates its own food delivery...
