On Friday, PC gaming giant Valve invited the developer community to learn more about its Steam Deck, a $400 handheld gaming PC with a comparatively powerful AMD chip. It's akin to the Nintendo Switch of gaming PCs, and there's a lot we already knew about the delayed handheld from its announcement, our trip to Valve's headquarters, and an official teardown. But today, we learned even more.

Here are the highlights — unless, of course, you'd like to watch Valve's entire livestream or breakout sessions for yourself. That's fine too!

Aerith lives

The AMD chip inside the Steam Deck has a name: it's the Aerith SOC, a clear reference to the famous Aerith from Final Fantasy VII. It's an APU with a power envelope of between 4 and...

Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service just leapfrogged Google Stadia in performance, with a new $200-a-year tier that practically gives you the power of an RTX 3080 desktop graphics card in the cloud. But if you're grandfathered into the original $4.99 a month "Founders" tier, or pay $100 a year for "Priority" access, you may not be getting quite what you expected — because Nvidia has quietly revealed it's capping the frame rates of 12 specific games to ensure consistent performance.

Nvidia now has an official support page (via 9to5Google) explaining the practice, after Redditors and others revealed that a variety of games were locked to frame rates lower than 60fps. It appears that Nvidia's been doing this for quite a while but only...

AMC Theaters, which is perhaps the king of the memestocks, promised in August that you'd be able to pay for tickets and concessions with Bitcoin by the end of the year, and now, you can do just that.

Bitcoin isn't the only cryptocurrency you'll be able to use; AMC is also accepting Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin for online purchases, according to a tweet from CEO Adam Aron (via CoinTelegraph). He also says you can pay online with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.

Starting this week, newer Echo and Echo Dot speakers can use ultrasound to detect occupancy in your home and turn on and off other connected devices such as lights or your Fire TV. First mentioned at Amazon's fall hardware event in September, the Echo and Echo Dot fourth-gen speakers can now emit an "inaudible ultrasound wave" to detect if there are people present in a room.

You can enable or disable this feature in the Alexa app, where you can also set up occupancy routines to use this new capability to do things like turn on lights when you enter a room and then off again when the room is empty. You could also have Alexa play music or a radio station when motion is detected near an Echo device during a set time and then shut down the...

Meta CTO thinks bad metaverse moderation could pose an ‘existential threat’

Meta (formerly Facebook) CTO Andrew Bosworth warned employees that creating safe virtual reality experiences was a vital part of its business plan — but also potentially impossible at a large scale.

In an internal memo seen by Financial Times, Bosworth apparently said he wanted Meta virtual worlds to have "almost Disney levels of safety," although spaces from third-party developers could have looser standards than directly Meta-built content. Harassment or other toxic behavior could pose an "existential threat" to the company's plans for an embodied future internet if it turned mainstream consumers off VR.

At the same time, Bosworth said policing user behavior "at any meaningful scale is practically impossible." FT reporter Hannah Murphy...

Metaverse, schmetaverse — take me to the Icelandverse

Mark Zuckerberg's extensive video about Facebook / Meta's pivot to the metaverse has become something of a meme, but perhaps the best parody of the presentation was done this week by, of all places, the country of Iceland.

In a nearly two-and-a-half-minute video, a man who is identified as Chief Visionary Officer Zack Mossbergsson begins a discussion about "a revolutionary approach on how to connect our world without being super weird.

"Some said it's not possible," he continues. "Some said it's out of reach. To them, we say, it's already here." He then gestures in the general direction of a beautiful, snow-covered Icelandic landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. "Seriously, look, it's right here."

The rest of the video is...

Google says a fix is coming for update that erased major Pixel 6 feature

Posted: 12 Nov 2021 02:16 PM PST

According to reports from some users, an update to Google Photos removed one of the Pixel 6's big features: the Magic Eraser tool that lets you remove unwanted objects or people from your photos. If your Pixel downloaded the affected version (5.67, according to Android Central), fear not: Google says it's working on a fix.

While the version of Photos with the Magic Eraser erased doesn't appear to be available in the Play Store anymore, its presence on APK Mirror confirms that it was at one point (though we wouldn't recommend downloading it). According to one user, the broken version displayed a tip about the object removal feature, despite it no longer being accessible in the app.

Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Continues In Kenosha, WI

The prosecution and defense continue to argue over evidence in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse for killing two people during a protest in Wisconsin, with a surprising amount of confusion from both the defense and Judge Bruce Schroeder about what happens when you pinch-to-zoom on a touchscreen device.

On Wednesday, Schroeder stated it was up to the prosecution to prove that zooming on a video in with an iPad doesn't alter or manipulate the footage. "iPads, which are made by Apple, have artificial intelligence in them that allow things to be viewed through three-dimensions and logarithms," the defense said as part of its objection, adding that the iPad "uses artificial intelligence, or their logarithms, to create what they believe is...
