Today I learned Amazon will recycle small electronics for free

If you have a flip phone that you haven't used in over a decade, or maybe even a broken tablet, Amazon will pay for a shipping label that you can use to send it in to get recycled. Apparently, this recycling program has been a thing for a while now, but several of us at The Verge never even knew about it until we saw this tweet from journalist Dave Zatz, and thought it might be a good idea to spread the word.

Amazon's recycling program lets you ship your small electronics for free from any UPS dropoff point (you just have to provide the packaging). Amazon then transfers the devices it receives to a licensed recycling facility, and notes that it will remove or destroy any "identifying marks or personal information" during the process....

Intel's tempering expectations for its upcoming Arc A750 Limited Edition GPU. In a new video that's just three minutes long, the chipmaker gives us the briefest of glimpses at the card's pretty average on-paper performance.

Before we dive in, it's important to note that the A750 is supposed to be one of Intel's top-of-the-line GPUs, as indicated by the "7" at the front of its name. Intel's naming conventions have the Arc 5 and Arc 3 sitting below the Arc 7, which are supposed to offer midrange and entry-level performance, respectively.

During the video, Intel's Ryan Shrout boots up Cyberpunk 2077 on a PC with the A750 chip installed, and instead of giving us a long look at gameplay, Shrout skips straight to performance. With the game set...

TikTok's global chief security officer (CSO), Roland Cloutier, is stepping down as the company transitions to using Oracle's US-based servers to store Americans' data (via The Wall Street Journal). The company shared an internal memo about the shift in a post on its newsroom, which states Cloutier will assume an advisory role, with TikTok's head of security risk, vendor, and client assurance, Kim Albarella, taking over temporarily.

"With our recent announcement about data management changes in the US, it's time for me to transition from my role as Global Chief Security Officer into a strategic advisory role focusing on the business impact of security and trust programs, working directly with Shou, Dingkun and other senior leaders,"...

Evo’s general manager is making an event that he would want to go to

Evo, the shorthand name for the prestigious Evolution Championship Series fighting game tournament, will be an in-person event again for the first time since 2019. Evo was just one of many events that had to do things differently because of COVID-19, and even though the upcoming Evo will be at a convention center once again, general manager Rick Thiher tells The Verge that things are just different now.

"The market is not the same as it was when we went on hiatus in respect to COVID," Thiher said. "Having COVID not really fully passed at this time, that hiatus has created new concerns, new needs, and has really restructured expectations both for the workforce and even the endemic tournament organizers that we work with to help put Evo...

It's been a busy week here at The Verge, with the recent reviews of the new M2 MacBook Air and Nothing Phone 1 as well as non-stop coverage of Amazon Prime Day. I'm sure all of us are ready for a relaxing weekend to rest and recoup. But first, more deals!

This first one is actually perfect for R&R time, as it's a Bluetooth speaker you can take with you to the beach or poolside for some sunbathing. The JBL Flip 5 is on sale for $84.99 at Woot. This discount of about $45 on the waterproof speaker is the best we've seen in quite a while, and lower than anything offered during Prime Day. The Flip 5 comes in a variety of colors and offers good sound, with enough volume to fill a room or really annoy the couple sitting under the umbrella next...

How to change your Apple ID password

How to change your Apple ID password in three different ways. | Image: Apple

Your Apple ID is your key to using the integrated services of Apple's ecosystem, including the App Store, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and Apple Music. You also need one to set up any new Apple device. As with any password, if you think it may have been compromised, you should change it immediately. It's also a good idea to change it every few months to help keep it extra secure.

When you do choose a new password, you'll need to think of one that's at least eight characters long and uses at least one number, one uppercase letter, and one lowercase letter. You also can't reuse a password from the last year.

Here are the steps you'll need to take to change your Apple ID password. Bear in mind that these will only work if you know your...

On Friday, Elizabeth Warren and other Democratic members of Congress sent a letter to two federal regulators, urging them to take action on the explosion of Bitcoin mining in the US.

Sent to the heads of the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy, the letter was spurred by preliminary investigation from lawmakers, which found that just a handful of cryptominers use an enormous amount of energy. In response, the lawmakers ask the agencies to require that crypto-mining companies share data on their energy use and emissions.

Seven of the biggest crypto-mining companies in the US have the collective capacity to use over 1 gigawatt of electricity, according to the letter. That's the equivalent of two standard coal plants...

Elon Musk's legal team has responded to Twitter's lawsuit against him, saying that the company is demanding an unreasonably fast trial. In response, Musk's team asks that the case not be heard until next year, as reported earlier by Bloomberg.

Twitter has pushed for the trial to take place in mid-September, justifying the request to expedite things given that Musk and Twitter's merger agreement has an October 24th "presumptive drop-dead date." However, Musk's team is asking that the trial not be held until February 13th, 2023 trial at the earliest, the filing notes.

Twitter declined to comment on the matter, and pointed to its initial complaint filed Tuesday.

Twitter sued Musk earlier this week after he officially tried to bail on his...
