Posted: 17 Jun 2022 02:54 PM PDT

If you've ever thought, "I would like my digital avatar to wear poorly rendered designer clothing," I have excellent news for you.

Meta is launching an online store where Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger users can purchase digital clothing for their avatar. The first brands on the store are Prada, Balenciaga, and Thom Browne, and clothes include a motocross outfit, a logo hoodie, and suits.

In a Facebook post, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said more brands would be added soon.

"Digital goods will be an important way to express yourself in the metaverse and a big driver of the creative economy," he says.

It took less than a day and a half for more than 400 SpaceX employees to sign onto an open letter criticizing CEO Elon Musk after it was posted and shared by some of their co-workers in an internal chat. Just 32 hours after it was shared, the internal landing page for the document was taken offline, around the same time that a group of employees was fired for their involvement in crafting and sharing the letter, a move that may have been a violation of labor law.

The open letter first went live on an internal landing page at noon Eastern, and then it was shared by a handful of employees to roughly 10 chat rooms in Microsoft Teams as well as one email list. The contents were bold: the employees asserted that Musk's behavior in recent...

You can do it in just a couple minutes.

Puget Systems offers a number of different benchmarks to test out your PC using automated real-world tasks in the Adobe Creative Cloud. Some of them (such as the one for Premiere Pro) are somewhat complicated and can take a while to get up and running. But one of them — PugetBench for Photoshop — is very simple.

PugetBench for Photoshop measures how fast your computer can perform various tasks, including mask refinement and gradients as well as filter tasks like lens correction and noise reduction. Unlike some of Puget's other benchmarks, the Photoshop benchmark only requires one quick plug-in to set up.

Note: this benchmark is not yet supported for the M1-native version of Photoshop.

Uncharted, the movie where Tom Holland recreated some of the PlayStation series' iconic scenes, will be coming to Netflix on July 15th for US customers, according to What's on Netflix. While apparently many people have already seen the film (it reportedly made over $400 million during its theater run), this will be its streaming debut.

If you're trying to decide whether to add it to your summer watchlist, I recommend reading my colleague's excellent review to see how it holds up as a movie (spoiler: about as well as those ancient buildings Nathan Drake is always destroying). I'll also add that, as a longtime Uncharted fan, it definitely didn't feel essential for the series, but my wife and friend who've never played any of the games...

In a rather spectacular conclusion to a lawsuit filed by Bungie in August of last year, the owners of the Destiny 2 cheat domains, Veterancheats, LaviCheats, and Elite Boss Tech, will have to pay a settlement totaling roughly $13.5 million in damages. The math of this settlement comes from a fine of $2,000 per violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's anti-circumvention provisions — 17 US Code Section 1201 a and b — multiplied by the roughly 6,765 unique downloads of the program in question.

According to a report by Andy Maxwell on TorrentFreak, Bungie accused the defendants of breaching copyright law in addition to racketeering, fraud, money laundering, and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Nintendo is bringing the original Pokémon Snap for Nintendo 64 to Nintendo Switch Online on June 24th. If you've had a hankering to return to the original game after playing last year's New Pokémon Snap or want to check it out for the first time, you'll be able to visit Pokémon Island for a photography adventure very soon.

As with other N64 games on the Switch, you have to subscribe to Nintendo's premium Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack to be able to play Pokémon Snap. Since launch, Nintendo has really rounded out the selection of N64 games, adding classics like The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, F-Zero X, and even the Microsoft-owned Banjo-Kazooie. Some games have had emulation issues, but Nintendo has shown it's willing to fix...

SpaceX firings likely violate US labor law, experts say

On Friday, SpaceX fired a group of employees involved in crafting an open letter to corporate leaders that criticized CEO Elon Musk — and labor lawyers now say the firings may have violated US labor law. The letter circulated Thursday calling for stronger anti-harassment policies at SpaceX and a more restrained Twitter presence from Musk. At least five employees were fired shortly after the letter was published.

It's unclear whether any of the fired employees will try to file suit with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). But if they do, lawyers say they will have a strong case. "To be covered, an action has to be concerted (certainly the case here) and it has to relate to working conditions," says Charlotte Garden, a law professor...
