Biden's DOL DRAGGED for Coming Up With ANOTHER Disrespectful Label for Women to Appease Mentally Ill Men

Baldur's Gate 3 is jam-packed full of exciting adventures, a diverse rag-tag group of misfit heroes, and hours of turn-based combat that keep D&D fans firmly glued to their seats. Even though that's usually enough to keep players happy for days on end and prolonged episodes of touching any grass, there is one key element in BG3 that draws a different crowd and that's, of course, its rampant horniness.

Photo by Allison Johnson / The Verge Microsoft is on a mission to take down the MacBook Air with its new range of Copilot Plus PCs. It’s so confident it has finally got Windows on Arm right that it spent an entire day pitting its new Surface Laptop against the MacBook Air at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, last month. The Verge was shown multiple benchmarks and simulated real-world tests to demonstrate a new Qualcomm-powered Surface Laptop beating Apple’s bestselling laptop. While I’ve covered Microsoft’s confidence in beating Apple’s M3 processor previously, I thought it would be useful to examine all of the benchmark claims and battery life estimates in detail. Microsoft touched on some of these during its Surface and Windows AI event last week, but the claims... Continue reading…

This is Hera’s asteroid framing camera being used in Spain for testing navigation algorithms. | Image: MPS / GMV The European Space Agency (ESA) is running some of the final tests required to launch its Hera mission this October, which aims to investigate the asteroid that NASA intentionally slammed a spacecraft into back in 2022. The goal is to gather more accurate information about the collision to help develop systems that can protect our planet by deflecting asteroids that head our way. The spacecraft for the Hera mission is undergoing preflight testing, alongside the Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) system it needs to maneuver around the Dimorphos and Didymos binary asteroid system. The GNC system is being validated via virtual tests conducted in Spain and Germany using replicas of Hera spacecraft components. “The system for Hera’s... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge I’ve been using Google Maps for years, and I never knew there was an option to message businesses in the app — that is until I saw this post from Search Engine Land, which says it’s going away. The feature, called business profile chat, lets you message a business through the Google Maps and Search apps to ask questions, book an appointment, or request quotes. If a company has business profile chat enabled, you’ll see a “Chat” option next to the “Call” and “Directions” icons in Maps or Search. Tap on it, and you can start a conversation. Image: The Verge I’ve never noticed the “Chat” option on Google Maps. But now, it’s headed to the Google graveyard. In a notice posted to its website, Google says it will no... Continue reading…

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge It seems that the summer of live gaming events is kicking off a little earlier than expected. Sony joined the festivities by announcing its next State of Play showcase, which will air a full week before the busy Summer Game Fest period kicks off. This will be the second such showcase of the year for Sony; earlier in the year, we got fresh looks at Death Stranding 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the surprise launch of a Silent Hill game. The May showcase promises to be a rapid-fire event. While we don’t know exactly what will be featured, Sony says that it will include 14 games in around 30 minutes, spanning both PS5 and PS VR2. There are a number of high-profile titles in the works that could potentially make an appearance,... Continue reading…

We're less than two weeks from Apple's big WWDC 2024 event, where artificial intelligence will be at the center of everything. GenAI features will be built into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15. Most of them will run locally on the device. Apple should also release a smarter Siri that will supposedly handle more complex queries. But that Siri might not work on Apple tech alone. OpenAI appears to be the likeliest partner for iOS 18's chatbot abilities. That's what we already expect, thanks to the flurry of reports detailing Apple's efforts to match the AI capabilities of its rivals. A new report sheds more information on Apple's supposed partnership with OpenAI. Apparently, the deal has been in the making for months. Not only that, but Apple may use OpenAI's ChatGPT language models to power some of the most complex new Siri features. The deal supposedly has Microsoft worried, even though an OpenAI partnership with Apple could be lucrative for Microsoft as well. The software giant is the biggest investor in OpenAI. But if the report is accurate, I can't help but wonder what the ChatGPT-powered experience might be like, and whether it'll be enough to make me stop using ChatGPT Plus as a standalone product. ChatGPT is my go-to chatbot, and I'm convinced I'll keep using it even after it gets iOS 18 integration. Continue reading...
