These might be the first leaked photos of Intel’s Arc Alchemist graphics card

Posted: 29 Oct 2021 04:38 PM PDT

Intel is building dedicated gaming graphics cards, due out in Q1 2022, and we may have just gotten our first look at the big one, the Arc Alchemist. Here are some leaked images from YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead (via Videocardz):

Arc is Intel's new GPU brand, designed to compete with Nvidia GeForce and AMD Radeon, and the Arc Alchemist is the first GPU in the company's roadmap that's actually scheduled to release. The company had previously built the Intel DG1 to test the GPU waters, but that was a comparatively weak card, based on the Xe LP (low-power) graphics architecture, and consumers couldn't actually buy it. This new card is part of Intel's Xe HPG roadmap (high-power / gaming) and is said to deliver...

Fitness app Supernatural is becoming part of Meta after Facebook touts VR fitness

Meta has announced that the studio behind VR workout game Supernatural will be joining the company, adding to the roster of studios owned by what used to be known as Facebook's Oculus division. The company says that Within, the company behind Supernatural, will continue to work on the popular fitness app and will also help Meta's Reality Labs "enhance future hardware to support VR fitness apps."

Meta scooping up Within isn't necessarily a surprise move: it's spent the last few years acquiring tons of popular VR studios, like Lone Echo devs Ready at Dawn, the team behind Beat Saber, and others working on projects that some have called the VR versions of Fortnite and Roblox.

Given Meta's focus on its headsets as workout tools...

Roku launches new personal-use developer kit

Roku is launching a new independent developer kit that will allow developers to "experiment with and customize their devices" in personal-use capacities. Roku says it hopes the IDK will lead to innovation around internet-of-things applications, such as connecting a Roku device to a thermostat or game development.

Roku unveiled its plans for the new IDK at its online developer summit this week. The company made it clear in an announcement about the IDK that its Roku SDK will remain the primary channel development kit for commercial applications but said that the new developer kit "enables developers to explore the platform's capabilities and personalize their Roku experience."

The company isn't quite clear on how developers will use the...

iFixit actually tore down Apple’s backordered $19 screen cloth

Posted: 29 Oct 2021 02:09 PM PDT

I can't say I expected there to be more news about Apple's $19 Screen Polishing cloth, but here we are. Not only has iFixit given it the teardown treatment and a (perhaps slightly tongue-in-cheek) repair score, but it's apparently become one of Apple's hardest-to-get products. And yes, to reiterate, we are still talking about a cloth made to clean your devices' screens.

As noted by The New York Times, the 6.3-inch-sided square of fabric is now backordered, with Apple's website saying that you won't get it for 10-12 weeks, meaning it'll get delivered sometime between January 7th and January 21st, 2022. If you order pretty much any configuration of the redesigned MacBook Pro that the cloth launched with, you'll get your custom-built laptop...

Netflix employees at the heart of the Dave Chappelle controversy file charges against the company

Two Netflix employees at the heart of the Dave Chappelle controversy have filed labor charges against the company, alleging the streaming giant retaliated against them for engaging in protected activity.

B. Pagels-Minor, a Black trans program manager, was fired while organizing a walkout related to Netflix's support of Chappelle's comedy special The Closer, which has been widely condemned as transphobic. Terra Field, a trans software engineer, was suspended after posting a viral tweet thread about the issue.

Netflix said it fired Pagels-Minor for allegedly leaking confidential information — a charge they have categorically denied. The company said Field was suspended for attending a director-level meeting she wasn't supposed to, though...

iFixit teardown of the 2021 MacBook Pro reveals easier battery swaps

Online tech repair guide and parts retailer iFixit has published its latest teardown for the new 2021 MacBook Pro and reveals at least one small win for reparability: the ability to replace the battery pack modules.

The battery modules in the new MacBook Pros, much like many mobile devices, are now attached via adhesive strips with pull tabs. This makes it easier to remove them, as long as none of the tabs rip while pulling. The trackpad needs to also be carefully removed to reach the remaining pull tabs.

Batteries in MacBook Pros used to have their own frame or shell, which made them easier to install or remove via screws or locking tabs (although that takes more interior space). Starting in 2012,...

Microsoft overtakes Apple to become the world’s most valuable company

Posted: 29 Oct 2021 01:52 PM PDT

Microsoft surpassed Apple's market cap on Friday to become the world's most valuable public company. The change follows Apple's Thursday earnings, where the company posted strong results but revealed that it lost $6 billion to supply chain constraints. On Tuesday, Microsoft also shared positive earnings boosted by Office, Windows, and its cloud products.

At Friday's market close, Microsoft's market cap was almost $2.49 trillion while Apple's was about $2.46 trillion, according to CNBC. This isn't the first time Microsoft has passed Apple; the Windows-maker surpassed Apple's market cap in 2018 for the first time since 2010 and once again in July 2020. (Alphabet has also taken the crown from Apple, surpassing Apple's market cap in 2016.)
