| It's August 19, 2022. Happy Friday, everyone! Another week means another weekend, which also means more music to fill your ears with. Kick back, pump up the volume, relax, and we'll talk to you next week. Apple Music | Spotify | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 501 articles, 18 podcasts, 16 press releases, 499 tweets, and 21 YouTube videos | | | 1. New Motorola Edge Boasts Envying Features at a Solid Price Point | | Motorola is embracing the mid-tier smartphone with its $500 2022 Edge that is feature-packed and, most importantly, affordable. It has a 6.6-inch OLED display with HDR10+, MediaTek Dimensity 1050 CPU, a 5000 mAh battery, and more cameras than you'll ever need. Now if only it had a solid release date. | | 2. GeForce Now Game Streaming Is More Powerful Than Ever | | NVIDIA's game streaming service, GeForce Now, just received a significant performance boost... kinda. So long as your PC has high-speed internet and an RTX 3080 GPU, you can crank up your stream settings for 1440p resolution and up to 120 frames per second. We, uh, won't mention how much 3080s are. | | 3. Blizzard Says You Can't Pay Your Way Through 'Diablo IV' | | Blizzard is laying worries of unfair player advantages in Diablo IV to rest, stating that you won't be able to "pay for power." The only items you can buy from Diablo IV's in-game shop with real money are cosmetics that affect your look, not your performance. Hear that, Blizzard fans? Put the pitchforks down. | | | Were you nice and comfortable with how macOS and its settings worked? Too bad, because macOS Ventura is changing things up. Woo! Let a frustrated Charlie Sorrel tell you all about it. | | | Everyone has time for video games | | | Not all of us spend multiple hours a week playing games, but most of us have a bit of time for them, based on the chart above. Seems like 3-7 hours and 8-12 hours are the sweet spots for all ages, while the two extremes favor younger and older generations. We're just happy people are playing at all. | | | 🔥 Today's Hot Deal | | We say it a lot, but you can never have enough storage, which is why we're letting you know about the Crucial MX500 1TB SSD. It's down to $75.99 at Amazon right now and should easily fit in with the rest of the SSDs taking up residence in your PC. | | | | | "The power of music is breaking computers." —Evan Killham, Editor | | | 💎 You Know You Want It | | Reaching every nook and cranny | | Big houses need big Wi-Fi, which is to say you need a mesh network that can send to strong signal to every part of your home. If that's your situation, give Google Nest Wi-Fi a try. Its routers and extenders are stylish, neatly blend into any room, and should provide more than enough coverage. | | | Yeah, why does it look like that? | | Netflix shows have a specific "look" to them; even if you don't know it, you kinda know it when you see it. But why does its shows look like that? Motherboard's Gita Jackson explains it all. Give it a read. | | | |
