Update July 21st, 8:11PM ET: After we first published this story, Amazon provided the following statement confirming it is looking into two customer service reports related to 3090 failures due to New World:

We have two customer service reports on this that we are following up on, and some reports of high GPU usage from forums, which is consistent with a graphically rich game. We do provide user select-able settings to reduce graphics, which correspondingly reduces GPU load, if the player desires.

The original story is below.


The closed beta for Amazon Games' new MMO New World has been marred by reports that the game has bricked some players' Nvidia RTX 3090 graphics cards. In a statement shared Wednesday, Amazon says that it has seen...

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut will let you pet even more animals than you could in the original version of the game, developer Sucker Punch revealed Wednesday. When Ghost of Tsushima first launched, you could only pet foxes, and a few months after release, Sucker Punch added the ability to pet dogs, but in the new Iki Island expansion that's part of Director's Cut, we now know that you'll be able to pet cats, deer, and monkeys.

All the animals look absolutely adorable and very deserving of pets. Here's one of the cats:

Cloud computing giant Salesforce has completed its acquisition of Slack, a $27.7 billion dollar deal that adds the messaging app to its suite of enterprise software without immediately changing Slack's functionality, branding, or leadership.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said in a statement that "Together we'll define the future of enterprise software, creating the digital HQ that enables every organization to deliver customer and employee success from anywhere."

While Slack hasn't quite killed email, it has attracted notice from giants like Microsoft, the company that Slack co-founder and CEO Stewart Butterfield called "unhealthily preoccupied with killing us" in a conversation with The Verge last year.

"In a different universe where...

Here’s how to check your phone for Pegasus spyware using Amnesty’s tool

Amnesty International — part of the group that helped break the news of journalists and heads of state being targeted by NSO's government-grade spyware, Pegasus — has released a tool to check if your phone has been affected. Alongside the tool is a great set of instructions, which should help you through the somewhat technical checking process. Using the tool involves backing up your phone to a separate computer and running a check on that backup. Read on if you've been side-eyeing your phone since the news broke and are looking for guidance on using Amnesty's tool.

The first thing to note is the tool is command line or terminal based, so it will take either some amount of technical skill or a bit of patience to run. We try to cover a...

A new athlete wellness trend just dropped

Athletes love a good wellness trend. Anything that promises to boost performance or give the slightest edge to anyone competing at the highest level of their sport is going to find the ears of elite athletes and Olympians — even (or especially) if it looks like a torture device.

In 2016, the fad was cupping: a technique that used suction cups as pain relief, leaving athletes like Michael Phelps looking like they'd just fought off a giant octopus. This year, its blood flow restriction, The New York Times reported. Some swimmers and runners are applying tourniquet-like bands to their arms and legs in the hopes that it'll boost their training.

The strategy was first developed in 1966 by Japanese powerlifter Yoshiaki Sato, but it's only...

Khalid’s latest music video is a big, sloppy kiss to Silicon Valley

Posted: 21 Jul 2021 01:16 PM PDT

Grammy-nominated singer Khalid has a new album coming out, and the first single, "New Normal," is as smooth and breezy as a summer afternoon, which is weird because the video that accompanies the track is pretty much a venture capitalist's dream come true.

The video depicts a futuristic utopia full of skyscraper gardens, autonomous vehicles, drone deliveries, and smart homes. Khalid's video is brimming with real products from real companies, not generic versions — a sign that the singer maybe had some input from Silicon Valley in crafting his love letter to our surveillance capitalist nightmare of a future.

Twitter is working on new upvote and downvote reactions for tweets to accompany the usual options to retweet and reply. Twitter confirmed it was testing the feature for a small group of users on iOS, and it's already been spotted according to multiple tweets from users that are part of the test group.

Twitter writes that iOS users may see upvote and downvotes in several different styles (up and down arrows, a heart icon and a down arrow, and thumbs up and thumbs down icons) and that it's testing the feature to "understand the types of replies you find relevant in a convo, so we can work on ways to show more of them." Currently votes are not public.

Elon Musk says SpaceX holds Bitcoin, ribs Jack Dorsey at conference

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Testifies In SolarCity Trial

"SpaceX, Tesla, and I own Bitcoin," Elon Musk said at a Bitcoin conference today. Though Tesla no longer allows people to pay for cars using Bitcoin, the automaker hasn't sold its Bitcoin, he said. "We're not selling any Bitcoin, nor am I selling anything personally or nor is SpaceX selling any Bitcoin."

In addition, Musk disclosed that he owned Ethereum and — unsurprisingly — Dogecoin. The price of Ethereum, which was already rising today, rose further on the disclosure. Dogecoin rose early in the panel to almost 21 cents, before dipping to about 19 cents by the end of the panel, according to Coindesk data. Musk spoke at a panel with Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and payment company Square, and Cathie Wood, the founder and CEO of ARK...

The latest Oculus Quest update lets you easily invite others to play

Posted: 21 Jul 2021 12:18 PM PDT

Oculus

Oculus is rolling out its v31 software update to Quest and Quest 2 headsets starting today, and it's filled with some nice quality-of-life improvements. The big one is it'll be easier to invite friends and recent teammates who aren't friends to play a game or experience an app together. When you're in game or in app, pressing the Oculus button will pull up the universal menu as usual, but soon, more apps will show a new "Invite to App" button next to the "Resume" and "Quit" buttons. If friends accept your invite, you'll be able to see them in the menu. This feature will roll out soon in games like Beat Saber, Blaston, Demeo, Echo VR, ForeVR Bowl, Hyper Dash, PokerStars VR, and Topgolf with Pro Putt.

If you don't want to corral the group...

Netflix thinks games matter more than buying movie studios

Posted: 21 Jul 2021 11:59 AM PDT

As Netflix's streaming rivals like Prime Video and HBO Max's WarnerMedia focus on consolidation and studio acquisitions, Netflix is instead prioritizing its own service and investment in games over snapping up any available studio IP. It's a refreshing shift away from buying distressed movie studios or long-forgotten catalogs. But will it work?

Netflix spelled out its streaming strategy in its second quarter letter to its shareholders. Citing recent mergers between WarnerMedia and Discovery and the last decade of acquisitions and mergers between major media properties — for example, with Disney and Fox or Viacom and CBS — the company said it doesn't "believe this consolidation has affected our growth much, if at all." (If I'm a streaming...
