Sony released a ten-minute-long trailer for The Last of Us Part 1 on Thursday, where the game's directors talk through some of the improvements coming in the PlayStation 5 remake of Naughty Dog's iconic game. The trailer takes plenty of opportunities to show off the improved graphics (which look as nice as they have in the leaked screenshots, but it's not like the game was ugly on the PS3 or PS4), but the most interesting involve changes to the gameplay — Naughty Dog says that the AI for enemies and companions will be improved, that there will be some extra gameplay modes, and that the game's cutscenes will have audio descriptions for accessibility.

When it was originally released in 2013, The Last of Us' AI was nothing special. The...

You can make your new Pixel look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Posted: 21 Jul 2022 05:13 PM PDT

A cool thing about Google's Pixel 6 series phones is their unique camera bar design. If the finish of that strip were a different color than black — specifically blue, orange, purple, or red — it would totally look kind of like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And now that you can't unsee the resemblance, device outfitter Dbrand would like to help make your Pixel 6 device look like one of your favorite childhood heroes.

With Google's latest phone the Pixel 6a releasing next week, Dbrand decided it's a good time to revisit the sewers and launch its Teenage Mutant Ninja Pixels decals for all three phones. They match the green heroes-in-a-half-shell plus their masks, and include four camera decal strips that reflect the colors of Leonardo,...

Google’s adding the app permissions section back to the Play Store after removing it

Google says it's rolling back its decision to remove a section from the Play Store that listed which permissions an app uses. The company had more or less replaced that info with its Data Safety section, which is supposed to give you an idea of what data apps are collecting and how that data is used.

The problem, as several commentators pointed out, is that the information in the Data Safety section came from developers, whereas the app permissions section was generated by Google. By removing it, Google made it impossible for users to do a quick fact-check by comparing the two sections or to use the info from both to get a more complete picture of what an app is up to and what it has access to.

In a Twitter thread on Thursday spotted by...

Nobody knows what’s in Pink Sauce, TikTok’s latest viral product

TikTok is known for making small businesses go viral overnight, product recommendations that cause a specific shade of blush to sell out everywhere, and convincing thousands of people to make salmon rice bowls for lunch every day.

But buzz on the platform has apparently gotten the better of some users, causing them to forget a tried-and-true rule: maybe don't eat unidentified goo made by a stranger and shipped in plastic flat mailers during a record-breaking heatwave?

The best deals on MacBooks right now

Posted: 21 Jul 2022 02:35 PM PDT

The 2020 MacBook Air, one of the best laptops you can get, is now available at Amazon and Best Buy starting at $899.99.

With multiple configurations and various models to choose from, finding a deal on an M1-equipped MacBook or Mac Mini is not all that difficult. It's a slightly different story for the MacBook Pros with the beefier M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs, but any bit of savings you can get on the new Pro models is sure to be worthwhile. As for the new 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with M2, it may still take a while to see some deals.

Here, we'll run through the discounts that are currently available for the current MacBooks, as well as any deals to be had on the Mac Mini. Of course, there are still some lingering discounts available for older, Intel-based configurations — which are compatible with macOS Monterey and the upcoming macOS Ventura — but...

YouTube says it will remove ‘unsafe’ DIY abortion guides

YouTube says it will begin removing "instructions for unsafe abortion methods" or content that "promotes false claims about abortion safety." The company made the announcement on Twitter, saying it falls under its medical misinformation policy. It's also adding an information panel to related videos that will offer health information about abortion from the National Library of Medicine, similar to what it's done for vaccines and some other topics.

"Starting today and ramping up over the next few weeks, we will remove content that provides instructions for unsafe abortion methods or promotes false claims about abortion safety under our medical misinformation policies," tweeted the official YouTube account. "Like all of our policies on...

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves looks like a celebrity-filled LARP in first trailer

Posted: 21 Jul 2022 01:36 PM PDT

The resurgence of D&D in pop culture continues with an upcoming live-action film set in the fantasy universe. A new trailer for the movie — which has the slightly unwieldy name of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves — kicked off San Diego Comic-Con, showing off a film that seems to jump between serious fantasy epic and lighthearted action comedy.

Here's the setup: "A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people." In addition to the trailer, we also got a glimpse at a poster for the film, which, perhaps unsurprisingly, goes all-in on the "dragons" part of Dungeons & Dragons.

Snap isn’t happy with how much money it’s making

Snap knows it can do better. The company reported earnings results for the second quarter of 2022 this afternoon, and the numbers show a company that's continuing to grow its users and revenue — but at a much slower rate than it used to.

"Our financial results for Q2 do not reflect the scale of our ambition," the company wrote in a note to investors. "We are not satisfied with the results we are delivering."

The message was part of a rallying cry to investors that essentially says hang tight, we're working on it. To turn things around, Snap is promising to "recalibrate" its hiring, goals, and investments. And, in a splashier move, the company said it had signed Snap co-founders Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy, the company's CEO and CTO, to...

Lyft Rentals shuts down as the ride-sharing company lays off about 60 people

Lyft launched its rental car service in December 2019, more than a year after Uber shut down a similar program that provided rental cars and access to bike rides and public transportation. Lyft Rentals stood out for its low starting rate of $35 a day and lack of mileage limit that also allowed renters as young as 22 years old. Now, The Wall Street Journal reports Lyft has decided to call it quits, and the company confirmed to The Verge that it laid off about 60 employees in the rental car service as well as a smaller number of people in operations.

In an emailed statement, the company told The Verge it discontinued the business to instead focus on partnerships with rental car companies Sixt and Hertz. "This decision will ensure we...

Android is ready for the Pixel Buds Pro’s AirPods-like audio switching trick

Google's latest and most advanced wireless earbuds yet, the Pixel Buds Pro, won't be on store shelves for another week. But the company has announced that its Android software is already prepared for one of the earbuds' most convenient new features: the Pixel Buds Pro will be able to switch between devices automatically — no settings menus necessary.

Much like the AirPods can hop between other Apple products (iPhone, iPad, Mac) depending on which one you're actively using, Google's flagship earbuds will be able to do the same across Android hardware.

"Our audio switching technology builds on top of Fast Pair to use contextual information on what you're listening to in order to switch the audio based on your actions," Google's Angela...
