I do not Feel Good Inc about the Gorillaz NFTs Posted: 26 Mar 2021 06:07 PM PDT Virtual band Gorillaz's debut album is turning 20 years old today (a fact I'm going to try to immediately forget), and in celebration the group will be carrying out the usual anniversary celebrations: re-releasing albums, selling new merch and, according to NME, selling NFTs. This news has Broken me. At this point, it's pretty clear that NFTs are a thorny environmental issue — while it can be hard to calculate exactly how bad they are in terms of carbon emissions, the picture is not looking good. In general, upon seeing the torrent of NFT news, it's been easy to needle people about participating in a marketplace that is doing actual damage to the world: "Okay, Brand, hope this marketing stunt was worth setting the Earth on fire?" Turns... |
HBO gives George R.R. Martin an eight-figure deal to keep A Song of Ice and Fire on ice Posted: 26 Mar 2021 05:54 PM PDT George R.R. Martin, the author of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series that was turned into HBO's smash hit Game of Thrones, has signed a huge new deal with HBO to make content for the network and HBO Max, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It's a five-year deal worth "mid-eight figures," sources told THR. Although Game of Thrones ended in 2019, HBO owner WarnerMedia has already announced a prequel series, House of the Dragon, based on Martin's 2019 book Fire and Blood. And there are five projects in development based on the Game of Thrones universe, THR reports. Martin is also developing series for HBO based on the novels Who Fears Death and Roadmarks. My worst fear, though, is that this huge new deal keeps Martin from working on... |
Wait, GameStop sells GPUs now? Posted: 26 Mar 2021 04:25 PM PDT GameStop has sold PC gaming hardware for a while now, including entire gaming laptops, monitors, headphones, mice and speakers, but in the post-stonks era it apparently wants a piece of Best Buy and Newegg's desktop components business as well. Most prominently, the company has started selling Nvidia RTX 3000 series graphics cards — where by "selling," I mean engaging in the same sort of barely-there, blink-and-they're-gone listings as every other purveyor of GPUs. As PC Gamer reports, GameStop made its entire weekly circular ad revolve around PC gaming this week, including several GPUs, motherboards, a power supply, and a case: Back in reality, though, GameStop sold... |
Amazon gets FDA authorization for an at-home COVID-19 test kit Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:48 PM PDT Amazon received Food and Drug Administration authorization for a COVID-19 test made by its subsidiary STS Lab Holdco, and it plans to use it for its onsite coronavirus testing programs. The test is done using a nasal self swab that can be done either under the supervision of a health care provider or as part of an at-home kit where a patient takes their own sample and mails it to a centralized lab. "Amazon plans to use the Amazon Real-Time RT-PCR Test for Detecting SARS-CoV-2 (Amazon Test) as part of the company's overall Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") preparedness and response program," the FDA's authorization reads. The authorization also describes Amazon's employee-screening program. Some Amazon employees will be... |
OnePlus 9 Pro review: a refined, niche flagship Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:45 PM PDT Fast charging and elegant software offset a so-so camera |
Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:45 PM PDT The OnePlus 9 gives up a few of the 9 Pro's features but costs $240 less |
The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro can now use Verizon’s 5G network Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:43 PM PDT The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro are now certified for use on Verizon's network, which means Verizon customers will be able to use the phones with the carrier's 5G network; without certification, the phones would be limited to LTE. The news was announced today by a Verizon representative, but the timeline is a little unclear. OnePlus had said it was working with Verizon, but there were no promises that it would be done by the phone's launch. The 5G story has been a bit confusing for the OnePlus 9 series phones from the start. Only the Pro model has the ultra-fast mmWave, and at announcement, the phones were only listed as 5G-compatible on T-Mobile's network. Even with today's news, that still leaves AT&T customers who buy a OnePlus 9 paying for... |
Facebook, Uber, and Microsoft plan to start bringing employees back to offices Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:41 PM PDT Facebook is planning to start its return to in-person work in May, after over a year of working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Bloomberg. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced remote work plans near the start of the pandemic that promised around half of his employees could work remotely in the next five to 10 years, but until then, in-person work, at least in a limited capacity, is in the company's immediate future. Facebook is reopening its offices in the Bay Area — including its Menlo Park headquarters — but limiting capacity at 10 percent to start. The company expects its largest offices to not reach 50 percent capacity until September, Bloomberg writes. In addition to limiting how many people are working in... |
Among Us’ next update adds a poop hat Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:20 PM PDT Among Us' next big update will add a poop hat to the game. Technically, it's a "chocolate ice cream" hat. But come on, just look at this picture.
It's definitely poop. The new hat arrives as part of a big update launching on March 31st that adds a brand-new Airship map, an accounts system, and some other new free hats, including a heart, a unicorn, and angry eyebrows. But when I install the update, I'll probably just be wearing the poop one. |
Amazon keeps trying to troll US Congress members in perplexing new PR strategy Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:08 PM PDT Amazon is intensifying its bizarre online public relations strategy of picking increasingly petty fights with sitting US Congress members, with the company's Amazon News account on Friday shifting targets from Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). "You make the tax laws @SenWarren; we just follow them. If you don't like the laws you've created, by all means, change them. Here are the facts: Amazon has paid billions of dollars in corporate taxes over the past few years alone," the account tweeted Thursday in response to a critique from Warren that Amazon exploits "loopholes and tax havens to pay close to nothing in taxes." There's a growing mountain of evidence pointing out how Amazon pays... |
