| It's August 16, 2022—National Tell a Joke Day! Regardless of what you do today, remember to laugh and to make someone else laugh. Don't worry, we won't judge how good or bad your jokes are. | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 263 articles, 16 podcasts, 15 press releases, 387 tweets, and 11 YouTube videos | | | 1. New Samsung Odyssey Ark Gives You Curved-Screen Goodness | | The "world's first" (according to Samsung) 55-inch gaming screen with a 1000R curve (the most curved gaming monitor available) is primed for launch, with reservations opening now. With an emphasis on visual performance and the ability to quickly change screen position, it certainly has our attention. | | 2. Snapchat Makes It Easier for Paying Users to Get Recognized | | Snapchat is making it easier for certain users to catch the attention of famous people. Called "Priority Story Replies," paid Snapchat+ members can get bumped up the queue when replying to celebs and influencers, thus increasing the chances they'll get noticed. Love to pay for better exposure. | | 3. Android 13 Is Out Now... If You Have the Right Phone | | Google is now rolling out Android 13 to smartphones, but with one major caveat: you can only get it if you have a Pixel phone. If you have anything from the Pixel 4 to the recently released Pixel 6A, you're good to go, but everyone else? You'll receive the new OS "later this year." No jumping the line. | | | Meta adding end-to-end encryption to more of our Messenger data is great, but as Charlie Sorrel is quick to point out, no one really trusts Facebook. It's a real "thanks, but no thanks" situation. | | | That's a lot of time online | | | Android owners really like social media, huh? We're not surprised that people spend a lot of time on YouTube, but over 10 hours on Instagram and nearly 20 hours on TikTok? Yeah, that's a lot. | | | "Don't try this at home!" —Kyree Leary, Associate News Editor | | | 💎 You Know You Want It | | We're back with another curved monitor! If you just bought one, we hope you kept that receipt, because Samsung's 55-Inch Odyssey Ark 4K is on the horizon. Did you know it has a cockpit mode, so you can orient it vertically? Yeah, that on top of the usual curved features means you totally want it. | | | |
