I think that beneath Tim Cook's profoundly reserved and professional aura is someone who likes a bit of sass. Naturally, as Apple CEO, Cook must present a professional image at all times, but he let his sense of humor do the talking at the Code 2022 conference. asked about the iPhone's lack of RCS compatibility which meant they couldn't share video clips with their mother using Android. Cook said it wasn't a priority for the company, then joked that the person should "buy your mom an iPhone."

A group inside Meta that analyzed potential harm to society from Facebook's products has been shut down. The team was made up of engineers, ethicists and civil rights experts who advised the wider company team on potential risks. Meta did not explain why the group closed but said he remains committed to the team's goals.

Maybe there should be a team of in-house experts to flag this kind of thing before… ohhhh.

As part of the $68,7 billion deal to acquire Activision Blizzard, Microsoft had to make several commitments to ward off antitrust regulators and angry gamers.

Despite public promises made by Xbox head Phil Spencer, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan isn't happy. Ryan revealed that Microsoft had only promised to keep Call of Duty on the rival platform for another three years, after which things would get a bit more uncertain.

This is expected to be the debut of the RTX-40 series.
Invitation to the next NVIDIA keynote.
NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference takes place later this month, and the big news is CEO Jensen Huang's keynote. The company says that at 11 a.m. ET on September 20, we'll see "the latest breakthroughs in gaming, design, and graphics technology."
That's a lot of languages. Will we see the next generation of Ampere Next-based GPUs in the form of the RTX-40 series? Given that the majority of RTX-30 cards only hit the market after the crypto bubble burst, it will be interesting to see how many of them actually go on sale in the near future.

There will be a new generation of spacesuits for walking on the moon.
Images of the new spacesuits proposed by NASA.
NASA chose Axiom Space to supply the spacesuits worn during humanity's return to the moon. These new suits will work for a wider range of crew members and provide increased flexibility and more specialized tools for exploration. A lack of proper equipment was one of the reasons a women-only spacewalk was canceled in 2019. With a contract in place to supply the suits needed to walk on the moon, the planned return to our nearest neighbor seems much more real. Now NASA just has to get the wagon that will take everyone there.

“Star Trek: Khan – Ceti Alpha V” will be written and directed by Nicholas Meyer.
A prestige streaming series covering the life of exiled Trek arch-villain Khan Noonien Singh on Ceti Alpha V has been rescued from development hell and will be turned into a podcast. Star Trek: Khan - Ceti Alpha V will fill the gap between the end of the classic series episode "Space Seed" and the start of Khan's wrath. More importantly, however, the series will be written and directed by Trek superstar Nicholas Meyer. I'll be honest, I didn't expect Meyer to write more Trek in my lifetime, and that's what I'm here for.
