Here’s your best look yet at ZTE’s first smartphone with an under-display camera

ZTE has already announced that it plans to launch the first mass-produced 5G-enabled smartphone with an under-display camera in China next month, and now the company has shared new images that give us a better understanding of what that phone's screen might actually look like (via Dutch website Tweakers).

In the render at the top of this post, you can see that the phone, which will be called the ZTE Axon 20 5G, has no visible camera up top — no hole punch, no notch. The render was shared by ZTE's president of mobile devices Ni Fei on Chinese social media network Weibo.

And in this next render, also shared by Fei on Weibo, you can get an idea of what that no-camera screen might look like while it's powered on. It looks pretty clean, if...

Thundercats is coming to Hulu tomorrow and I am on a major nostalgia trip

Thundercats ho! Hulu has locked down the rights to stream Thundercats on its service starting tomorrow. This includes both the iconic original series from the 1980s, plus the 2011 reboot. The kid within me is screaming with pure joy.

I was born in 1995, so, unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure of watching the original Thundercats cartoon when it aired between 1985 and 1989. Fortunately, in 2002, Cartoon Network's programming block Toonami did air it, and I remember watching as a seven-year-old kid, stumbling upon the cartoon after viewing a promo and thinking to myself "wow, this show looks cool." The next time it aired, I made sure to tune in.

The intro grabbed me right away: it was catchy, colorful, and hearing Lion-O screaming,...

With titles like Battletoads and Grounded, Xbox Game Pass is inching closer to becoming like Netflix

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 05:00 PM PDT

Battletoads.

You probably know the feeling: you set out to find something new on Netflix, but end up spending more time browsing than actually watching. There's just so much there that it can be hard to make a choice. Recently I've been having the same issue every time I turn on my Xbox.

Game Pass, Microsoft's subscription service, is much like Netflix and other video streaming services in that, for a monthly fee, you have access to a broad range of experiences. If you follow Microsoft's marketing, you'll know that Game Pass is a place for the company's big first-party games. With a subscription you can play every Halo or Gears of War title. When Halo Infinite is available next year, you won't need to buy it — the game will debut on Game Pass at...

Los Angeles settles Weather Channel lawsuit, lets it keep selling location data to advertisers

Weather Channel app for iOS redesign

Los Angeles has settled its lawsuit against the operator of The Weather Channel app. The city filed litigation against the company in 2019, alleging that the app misled millions of people into granting access to their personal location data and sold that data to third parties.

While IBM is celebrating this moment by calling those original claims "baseless" in a statement to The Verge, it sounds like they were largely true — since the only thing the settlement requires is for The Weather Channel to proactively warn users that yes, your location data is for sale.

As part of the settlement, the app's operator, TWC Product and Technology LLC, and the app's owner, IBM Corporation, have agreed to revise the location-tracking disclosure...

Facebook is making Oculus’s worst feature unavoidable

Yesterday, Facebook infuriated the VR world, announcing plans to require a Facebook login for future VR headsets. The decision broke an early promise from Oculus founder Palmer Luckey and was almost universally reviled online, with critics raising concerns about intrusive data collection, targeted advertising, and being forced to use a service they hated. On the Oculus subreddit, some users posted bitter memes about Farmville and data harvesting, while others swapped recommendations for other headsets. One posted a cartoon of Oculus as a sinking ship.

The truth is probably a lot less dire. Facebook-related boycotts fizzle all the time — when it acquired Oculus in 2014, Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson furiously killed a deal to...

Fortnite can still be reinstalled on iOS, even after Apple removed it

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 02:56 PM PDT

Fortnite disappeared from the App Store last week as part of developer Epic Games' big legal and regulatory showdown with Apple, but the battle royale hit is not gone entirely.

If you've never downloaded the game before, you're pretty much out of luck for now — and we recommend avoiding any of the eBay listings that appear to be popping up to hawk iPhones with the game installed for as much as $10,000. That sounds suspect. Those who have the game downloaded already can still play it of course and even install update files, at least until the next big patch launches, as Apple does not have the ability to forcibly remove software from your device.

But for those who've downloaded Fortnite at least once in the past but perhaps offloaded it...

Airbnb has filed documents to begin its initial public offering, the company said on Wednesday. Airbnb's securities registration filing remains confidential, but it has been submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, beginning the process that will ultimately allow everyday investors to purchase shares in the company for the first time.

The company has yet to determine the specifics of the public offering, including share price and the number of shares to be offered.

Airbnb had previously discussed its intention to go public this month despite the ongoing financial fallout from the pandemic, which resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in refunds and cancellations on Airbnb's platform. In the wake of that economic damage, T...

Twitch star Timthetatman finally won a game of Fall Guys

While the world writhes in the clutches of a seemingly never-ending wave of chaos, one Twitch streamer's heartwarming struggle to win a game of the new battle royale sensation Fall Guys is a story we can all happily rally around.

Timothy "TimTheTatMan" Betar, a streamer best known for playing popular battle royale games and his tight friendships with other well-known names in the Fornite and adjacent communities, has been struggling to claim a crown since the release of UK developer Mediatonic's Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout on August 4th.

His countless failed attempts and increasingly comical frustration morphed into a meme, with the official Fall Guys Twitter account goading and trolling him for his failures and fellow streamers...

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is official, will be ‘inspired by actual events’

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 02:00 PM PDT

Call of Duty: Warzone may have somewhat overshadowed the rest of the Call of Duty franchise, with the battle royale racking up 75 million downloads as of this month — but of course Activision also wants to develop a new flagship Call of Duty campaign, and its name has just been revealed as Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.

That's according to the official YouTube teaser you can watch above, which leaves us with many, many questions, primarily 1) what does the game actually look like, 2) is it next-gen, and 3) how does one properly punctuate the game's name? (Is it Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War? Probably not.)

It does, however, promise that the game will be "inspired by actual events," and features a real speech by a real KGB...
