If you're excited to play Black Myth: Wukong and are in the market for a graphics card upgrade, you're in luck, as you can now get the game free with purchases of most of Nvidia's 4000 series gaming GPUs. Any current-gen card other than the RTX 4060 and RTX 4050 is eligible for the free Black Myth: Wukong download, saving you the $60 the game is otherwise demanding for pre-orders. While that saving might seem like a drop in the ocean compared to the high price of the very best graphics cards you can buy, such as the $1,600 RTX 4090, it's effectively a 10% saving on lower-end end cards such as the $550 RTX 4070, if you were planning to buy the game.

Razer just revealed a new feature coming exclusively to its Hunstman optical gaming keyboards, and it's set to change competitive first-person shooter gameplay forever. Snap Tap allows overlapping activation of the A and D keys, meaning you no longer need to depress and activate new inputs to achieve the perfect strafing movement. As great as this new feature seems on paper, its implementation is limited, as Razer confirmed it's only coming to the Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards via a firmware update. Granted, these are among the best gaming keyboards on the market right now, as I recently found in my Razer Huntsman V3 Pro review.

Image: The Verge Microsoft has dropped its seat as an observer on the board of OpenAI, less than eight months after securing the non-voting seat. Apple was reportedly planning to join OpenAI’s nonprofit board, but now the Financial Times reports that Apple will no longer join the board. OpenAI confirmed that Microsoft has given up its seat in a statement to The Verge, following reports from Axios and the Financial Times that Microsoft’s deputy general counsel Keith Dolliver wrote a letter to OpenAI late on Tuesday. “We’re grateful to Microsoft for voicing confidence in the Board and the direction of the company, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership,” says OpenAI spokesperson Steve Sharpe. “Under the leadership of CFO Sarah Friar,...

Illustration: The Verge Google has made it a little easier for those at more risk of targeted online attacks to enroll in its Advanced Protection Program for Google accounts. Now users can set it up with a single passkey — using the built-in biometric authentication of a Pixel phone or iPhone — instead of the two physical security keys the company previously required. The Advanced Protection Program is aimed not at normal users but people like those working on political campaigns or journalists with sensitive information to protect. When it launched, the company required two physical security keys to activate it, and one of those keys plus a password to log in after that. Google changed the feature in 2023 to allow users to sign in with just a passkey — a... Continue reading…

A Bronze and Iron Age burial ground for children that was unearthed in Norway was used for 600 years, and archaeologists aren't sure why.

Saudi Arabia privately hinted earlier this year it might sell some European debt holdings if the Group of Seven decided to seize almost $300 billion of Russia’s frozen assets, people familiar with the matter said. The kingdom’s finance ministry told some G-7 counterparts of its opposition to the idea, which was meant to support Ukraine, with one person describing it as a veiled threat. The Saudis specifically mentioned debt issued by the French treasury, two of the people said.

US President Joe Biden has pledged to provide Ukraine with five new strategic air defence systems to counter relentless Russian attacks, in a forceful speech welcoming Nato leaders to Washington DC. In brief but strongly delivered remarks at the opening of the summit, the president declared the military alliance "more powerful than ever" as it faced a "pivotal moment" in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Mr Biden said the US would partner with Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Romania...

Just before House Democrats' Tuesday morning "come-to-Jesus" meeting on President Biden's path forward, a smaller group of swing-district Democrats held what sources described as a despondent gathering with "actual tears." Why it matters: The bloc of battleground House Democrats is one of the last firm pockets of a rapidly disintegrating movement on Capitol Hill to get Biden off the ticket. One shell-shocked lawmaker who was present at the meeting would offer only...

While Democrats are soul-searching on whether to support President Biden as the Democratic nominee, House Speaker Mike Johnson and fellow Republican leaders view the president’s tenure as a danger to the country. Polls and some Democrats in Washington have turned against Mr. Biden, something that Mr. Johnson said Republicans should enjoy politically. Yet he’s not enjoying the reality of it, arguing that Mr. Biden’s condition is “dangerous.” Asked again if he...
