Analyst Believes That Apple Intends to Focus More on the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, but Consumers Will Have to Pay More for Them A note shared by Ped30 from Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives mentions the massive shipments figure.

AirPods Pro 2 May Not Transition to USB-C, With Analyst Suggesting a Launch Happening Later This Year The unfortunate news about USB-C charging cases is that the AirPods Pro 2 may not ship with the same accessory, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

In a tweet from last week, as translated by Nintendo Everything, Hideki Kamiya revealed the only suggestion they have received from Nintendo regarding the series was about the Link costume introduced in the Wii U port of the original Bayonetta and its sequel. Kamiya also added that they may have disagreements from time to time, but Nintendo is surprisingly open to discussions around development and sales. — 神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya (@PG_kamiya) July 19, 2022 “I see a lot of people bring up Nintendo when discussing the nudity in Bayonetta, but during our time with the Bayonetta 1 port, Bayonetta 2 and Bayonetta 3, the only suggestion we received was regarding the Link costume in Bayonetta 1 and 2, and how it should have been a little bit more revealing....

Now that FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has become a favorite punching bag for crypto enthusiasts, hardly a day goes by when the former CEO of the now-bankrupt exchange is not subjected to a verbal dressing-down, and rightfully so. Now, the man who some say precipitated FTX’s downfall, namely, Binance’s CZ Zhao, is out with a fresh take on SBF’s perfidy. The core problem at FTX was an undisclosed symbiotic relationship with the trading arm of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto empire, Alameda Research....

The game first launched a year ago on consoles and PC as an Epic Games Store exclusive. The developers said in August that the game had sold over a million units across all these platforms. In our Chivalry 2 review, Torn Banner’s latest title received a flattering 8.9 out of 10 score. Reviewer Rosh Kelly said: The game has since received several updates, adding NVIDIA DLSS support for example.

The update also introduces AMD FSR 2.0 support. Exciting news!...

As is often the case with pay-to-win games, Diablo Immortal’s monetization scheme for high-level players is intentionally very convoluted, but some folks on Reddit and YouTubers Bellular News and Gregg2G have done their best to lay everything out. You can check the Bellular News video below. To very much simplify a perplexing system, continuing to improve your Diablo Immortal character once you hit the standard level cap involves Legendary Gems, which, of course, are very difficult to acquire, particularly if you’re looking for that all important 5-star gem....

While the first release of DirectStorage on PC focused on enhancing the data transfer so that the API could take advantage of the much higher bandwidth of NVMe drives, the decompression of assets was still handled by the CPU, becoming a bottleneck in the process. GPU decompression, on the other hand, can be much faster. In the comparison shown by Microsoft, the scene loads nearly three times faster, and the CPU is almost entirely freed up to handle other tasks if needed....
