Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Arm is launching its own upscaler for mobile gaming. The chip designer says its Arm Accuracy Super Resolution (ASR) can make games look better, while lowering power consumption on your phone. It’s also making the upscaling technology available to developers under an MIT open-source license. Arm based its technology on AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 (FSR 2), which uses temporal upscaling to make PC games look better and boost frame rates. Unlike spatial upscaling, which upscales an image based on a single frame, temporal upscaling involves using multiple frames to generate a higher-quality image. Upscaling is especially useful for lower-powered graphics cards that couldn’t otherwise run a game at playable frame rates. AMD FSR, Nvidia... Continue reading…

On its Telegram channel, the hacktivist collective SiegedSec — which has previously claimed responsibility for hacking NATO’s computer systems — said the Heritage hack was part of its #OpTransRights campaign, which also targeted the far-right media outlet Real America’s Voice and the Hillsong megachurch. The group also cited their objections to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s policy proposal for a second term for former President Donald Trump, as a motivating factor. In an email to The Verge, Heritage Foundation spokesperson Noah Weinrich... Continue reading…

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to turn a file into a PDF, there are countless sites on the internet that can complete the process for free in seconds. Of course, users have no control over what the sites do with the documents they upload. That becomes a serious problem if, say, two online PDF converters start leaking their data. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened, as the Cybernews research team found two online PDF converters with exposed Amazon S3 cloud storage buckets leaking passports, certificates, IDs, contracts, and more that users have uploaded to their sites. According to Cybernews, PDF Pro (pdf-pro.io) and Help PDF (help-pdf.com) -- which have the same design and are seemingly run by the same UK-based company -- have left cloud storage containers open to anyone. As of Thursday, there are 89,062 exposed files -- 87,818 uploaded to PDF Pro and 1,244 uploaded to Help PDF. Cybernews researchers shared this statement: “With access to personal documents, criminals can engage in various fraudulent activities such as applying for loans, renting properties, or purchasing expensive items using the victim's identity." It gets worse, as Cybernews claims that the data is still exposed. The researchers team reached out to the service providers, but have yet to hear back. If you upload a file to either site right now, it will be accessible to anyone who goes looking for it. Even if you have never used these PDF converters, let this be a warning. Before you upload a private document to a random website, remember that you don't know how that site handles its data. Take a few extra minutes to find a reliable service.

The "last mile" of the Federal Reserve's battle against inflation may have shortened to a last lap after U.S. consumer prices unexpectedly fell in June, shoring up policy makers' confidence that the inflation battle is being won and paving the way to lower interest rates.

Former President Donald Trump criticized former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after she expressed concerns about President Joe Biden.

Campaign officials for President Joe Biden, in a memo sent to staffers Thursday, said that winning the "Blue Wall" states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin is the key to Biden keeping the White House.

Longtime aides to President Joe Biden are convinced he will have to drop out of his reelection campaign and are working on ways to get him to leave the race, three sources told The New York Times.

In a shocking and unexpected turn of events, John Deere, the iconic American agricultural machinery manufacturer, has officially changed its name to John Queere, in an effort to promote a more inclusive and diverse brand image. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the business and conspiracy theory communities, with many people expressing their fear and unease about the possibility of corporate rebranding and inclusive marketing. “We have officially changed our name to John Queere, in an effort to promote a more inclusive and diverse brand image,” said the spokesperson for the event, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “We believe that this is the best way to ensure that our viewers can continue to learn about the importance of tolerance and acceptance, and to promote cultural sensitivity in a fun and engaging way.” The decision to change the company’s name will include a variety of consequences and repercussions, including a strict time limit of zero seconds, a ban on all words that begin with the letter “J,” and a requirement that all John Queere products be painted in the colors of the rainbow. “This is a game-changer,” said one enthusiastic observer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “I’ve always thought that the best way to promote tolerance and acceptance was to change a company’s name to something more inclusive and diverse, and what better way to achieve that than by changing John Deere’s name to John Queere?” But not everyone is convinced, and many people are calling the decision to change the company’s name a self-serving compromise, arguing that it is impossible for tolerance and acceptance to be achieved through corporate rebranding and inclusive marketing. “This is ridiculous,” said one skeptical observer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “How can anyone think that it’s a good idea to change a company’s name to something more inclusive and diverse, and then claim that it’s promoting tolerance and acceptance?” Despite the backlash, the organizers remain defiant, and have vowed to continue promoting tolerance and acceptance through corporate rebranding and inclusive marketing. “I know that this is a risky strategy, but I believe that it’s the right thing to do,” said the spokesperson for the event in a recent interview. “We cannot allow our brand image to be associated with intolerance and exclusion, and I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure that it is not.” In the end, only time will tell whether the decision to change John Deere’s name to John Queere was just or unjust, but one thing is certain: this bizarre and outlandish story is sure to inspire a new generation of conspiracy theorists and corporate rebranding experts, and to remind us all that sometimes, the most effective way to promote tolerance and acceptance is to simply make things up as one goes along.
