A curious Reddit post showing a burned-out AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D could have new AMD CPU owners concerned.

A worst-case scenario for AMD would be a wider fault with its brand new chip, which is already the best gaming CPU you can buy.

In a September Decoder interview, Browser Company CEO Josh Miller described Arc as a laptop-first search engine, but the company is clearly leaning in to mobile. Over 100,000 Android users participated in the Arc beta, according to a press release. Arc says it’s fixed some of the issues that bothered users most during the beta test — as a result, the browser now has full... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge Bluesky might be on the rise, but Instagram and Threads boss Adam Mosseri wants you to know that Threads is still much bigger. In a post on Thursday, Mosseri said that Threads has gotten “more than 15 million signups in November alone,” seemingly trying to throw some cold water over Bluesky crossing 15 million users total on Wednesday. Mosseri also reiterated that the platform has been getting more than a million signups per day — a stat that CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed during last month’s earnings call — and noted that the platform has been seeing that volume of signups for “going on three months.” Many people have been jumping to Bluesky looking for a new place to post that’s not X, which is owned by Donald Trump supporter Elon...
