Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge Owners of Intel’s latest 13th and 14th Gen Core i9 desktop processors have been noticing an increase in game crashes in recent months. It’s happening in games like The Finals, Fortnite, and Tekken 8, and has even led Epic Games to issue a support notice to encourage Intel Core i9 13900K and 14900K owners to adjust BIOS settings.Now, Intel says it’s investigating the reports. “Intel is aware of problems that occur when executing certain tasks on 13th and 14th generation core processors for desktop PCs, and is analyzing them with major affiliates,” says an Intel spokesperson in a statement to ZDNet Korea.The crashes vary in severity depending on the game, with some titles producing an “out of memory” error, others simply exiting out to...

Connecting to the internet is now easier than ever, but the process is also more complicated at the same time. While many people still directly plug into the internet with modems, routers are usually the way to go because they let you connect anywhere in the house via the magic of wi-fi. However, to prevent just anyone from using your internet and leeching your bandwidth, most routers carry several security measures. If for some reason you find yourself locked out of your own internet, you can easily get past this roadblock by resetting your router.

AMD's Ryzen 5 8500G processor belongs to the same family as the Ryzen 5 8600G and the Ryzen 7 8700G processors, both of which are two of our favorite budget-friendly CPUs out there right now. The Ryzen 5 8500G is a bit different from the other two chips mentioned above, as it uses AMD's budget Phoenix 2 die. It blends two Zen 4 cores with four energy-efficient Zen 4c cores, and has the same 65W TDP. But unlike the Ryzen 3 8300G — which is only available to OEMs — the Ryzen 5 8500G is available on the market for anyone to get their hands on it.

Image: Kristen Radtke / The Verge; Getty Images Elon Musk admitted that his posts on the platform formerly known as Twitter may have financially harmed the company in the long run, in a March 27th deposition made public on Monday by The Huffington Post. The billionaire also admitted to have a “limited understanding” of the lawsuit for which he was being deposed. The 22-year old Ben Brody sued Musk for defamation last fall, alleging that Musk pushed a conspiracy theory that falsely identified Brody as being involved in a fight between two far-right groups in Oregon. Musk’s attorney filed multiple requests to keep the transcript of his nearly two-hour testimony confidential, but they were denied by the judge. At one point, Musk is asked by Brody’s attorney, Mark Bankston, about his... Continue reading…

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge This week, Tesla was scheduled to appear in court to defend its Autopilot system against a claim of wrongful death — but it looks like the company will pay the family of Apple engineer Wei “Walter” Huang instead. Court documents show that Tesla is trying to seal the amount of a potential settlement payment to the Huang family. While it’s not clear how much the company might be offering or what other terms the settlement includes, lawyers for Tesla state that both parties have already agreed to the settlement and want it to be confidential. You can read that document below; The Washington Post and Bloomberg reported the news earlier. Lawyers for the Huang family didn’t immediately respond to our email.The settlement has not yet been...

The service selector in Supercut. | Screenshot: Wes Davis / The Verge Netflix said last year that it had no plans for a native app for the Apple Vision Pro — a disappointment for owners, given how well-suited it is for the task. Now, a new app called Supercut brings Netflix streaming to Apple’s headset without letterboxing bars on the top and bottom of the video; it also supports 4K streaming with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.Made by developer Christian Privitelli, Supercut offers playback controls — including subtitles, audio output, playback speed, and the ability to skip ahead or back a few seconds — plus the ability to switch between profiles on the fly. It even gives you a visual indicator telling you whether your video is outputting in one or both of the Dolby formats and what resolution you’re... Continue reading…

PC building takes a lot of primo parts. You want a good PSU to keep things ticking over, a solid motherboard to house everything, and top-quality CPUs, GPUs, and sticks of RAM so everything runs smoothly. However, people sometimes skimp out on the thermal paste, because it doesn't really do anything cool and you can't even buy it in RGB. However, one Japanese company wants to change that with a new entry in their range of scented thermal pastes, and this one is bound to make your next build smell like Spring.

Artificial intelligence can help you with a little bit of everything, from writing code to planning meals. The great thing about using AI in 2024 is that it's incredibly easy to get started, and more importantly, it's free. Chances are, you've played around with a great AI chatbot by now, whether it was ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini. These chatbots cost nothing and are simple to use, with ChatGPT no longer requiring an account for access, for instance. But the companies behind each of these services want you to think you need the advanced features and exclusive benefits of their paid tiers. OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google all offer AI subscriptions for $20 per month, and they all come with unique AI tools. If you think your needs might have outgrown the free tiers of these services, we're going to take a look at what premium features each one offers and whether it's worth your money.

Image: Apple This morning, remembering I’d forgotten to order eclipse glasses, I wondered out loud: Would it be an absolutely awful idea to watch today’s solar eclipse on the Apple Vision Pro? I’m extremely not a camera expert, but I seem to recall that pointing a camera at the sun is bad. However, online answers vary widely, so I put the question to The Verge’s Emmy-winning senior video producer Becca Farsace.Her answer was that the Vision Pro is expensive; it has a lot of cameras; and it isn’t worth the risk. She added: “Wes, you are a free soul! you can do whatever you please, but if I saw this on the internet I would be so mad that someone who spent that much money was out there doing this.”She’s right; I am a free soul!
