Former director of the White House National Trade Council Peter Navarro was recruited by President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to serve as senior counselor for trade and manufacturing in the incoming administration. Navarro has been a loyal ally to Trump and has vowed to implement his tariff-forward trade policy. Navarro has also notably served a four-month jail sentence for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena pertaining to January 6, which he said demanded that he "betray" Trump to "save [his] own skin." 'He did a superb job for the American people in my First Term. Peter will do even better as Senior Counselor to protect American Workers, and truly Make American Manufacturing Great Again.'

"He helped me renegotiate unfair Trade Deals like NAFTA and the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), and moved every one of my Tariff and Trade actions FAST." "The Senior Counselor position leverages Peter's broad range of White House experience, while harnessing his expensive Policy analytic and Media skills," Trump continued. "His mission will be to help successfully advance and communicate the Trump Manufacturing, Tariff, and Trade Agendas." Trump went on to praise Navarro's background as well as his experience in the first administration. "Peter is not just a superb, Harvard-trained Economist, he is a noted author of more than a dozen bestselling books on strategic business management and unfair Trade," Trump said in the announcement. "He did a superb job for the American people in my First Term. Peter will do even better as Senior Counselor to protect American Workers, and truly Make American Manufacturing Great Again."

What are the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle system requirements?  To get the maximum enjoyment possible from chasing down ancient treasure, you're going to need nothing less than a modern, high-end gaming PC. Anything older is going to put you in trouble, because this game is simply greedy for your system resources across the board. In fact, you'll need a GPU with hardware ray tracing to even meet the minimum specs. The requirements for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are hard-hitting, with two separate lists for standard and ray-tracing gameplay. If you want to run this game on the highest Ultra settings, with full ray tracing enabled, you're going to need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, the best graphics card you can buy. However, if you're happy to play Indy at 1,080p on low presets, you'll be okay with a less powerful rig, but you're still going to need a GPU that supports ray tracing.

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon quietly carved out two Washington, DC zip codes from being serviced by its fastest Prime delivery service with its own branded trucks, outsourcing deliveries to slower services like UPS and the Postal Service, DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb alleges in a new lawsuit. The alleged decision led to about 48,000 Prime members living in two zip codes east of the Anacostia River receiving fewer benefits than they were actually paying for (at $14.99 a month or $139 a year), according to Schwalb. The neighborhoods that were allegedly affected include majority-Black and low-income areas. But even when customers noticed and complained about the slower delivery times, the AG alleges, Amazon “misled the consumers to believe it was a coincidence.” Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel tells The Verge in a statement that Amazon changed how it serviced the zip codes cited in the lawsuit due to “specific and targeted acts against drivers delivering Amazon packages” in those areas. “We made the deliberate choice to adjust our operations, including delivery routes and times, for the sole reason of protecting the safety of drivers.” Nantel calls the AG’s claims “categorically false” and says Amazon is “always transparent with customers during the shopping journey and checkout process about when, exactly, they can expect their orders to arrive.” But while Amazon has the right to protect its workers through these changes, Schwalb says it can’t deceive customers while doing so. “Amazon is charging tens of thousands of hard-working Ward 7 and 8 residents for an expedited delivery service it promises but does not provide. While Amazon has every right to make operational changes, it cannot covertly decide that a dollar in one ZIP code is worth less than a dollar in another,” he says in a statement. Schwalb is suing under DC’s consumer protection law. He’s seeking to stop Amazon from continuing its allegedly deceptive behavior and collect an unspecified amount of civil penalties, restitution, and damages.
