It debuted on June 1st, 1999, and shut down two years later.

Its name lived on as a Best Buy brand, a re-named Rhapsody streaming service, and an attempt to cash in on NFT hype. But in my heart, it will always be a search engine for poorly-labeled, low-quality MP3s that take hours to download over AOL dial-up internet.

This Reddit user’s Midjourney images in the style of bad photos from Yelp reviews are surprisingly on point. The prompt they say they used:

iPhone photo of (food name) with many raisins on top. At a (type of) restaurant (or other location). —ar 3:4 —style raw —s 75

PLUS —sref of some bad food photos you find on Yelp! :)

Others gave it a shot on X.

Here’s your reminder that Lost, one of the biggest shows of the aughts, is returning to Netflix in the US on July 1st.

I’ll admit that I never finished the series. But I remember Hurley, a polar bear, and that people who aren’t The Verge’s Jay Peters were grumpy about the ending.

The free VLC media player will soon get Nvidia’s RTX Video HDR feature on top of its existing Super Resolution support. RTX Video HDR uses AI to convert SDR color space videos into HDR ones, ideal for the latest crop of OLED HDR monitors. DaVinci Resolve is also getting RTX Video support to upscale lower-quality videos up to 4K and HDR.

It lets modders bring modern graphics to old games, including but definitely not limited to ray-traced Half-Life and Half-Life 2. This month, there’ll be an SDK to extend it beyond DX8 and DX9 games, new AI modding tools, and more in open source.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is on stage at Computex talking about how much better GPUs are for AI tasks than CPUs. Nvidia just made $14 billion of profit in a single quarter thanks to AI chips. “The more you buy, the more you save,” Huang jokes. “That’s called CEO math. It’s not accurate, but it is correct.”

Nvidia is gearing up for more AI announcements during its Computex 2024 keynote. CEO Jensen Huang will take the stage in Taiwan at 7AM ET / 4AM PT / 12PM UK today to detail more of Nvidia’s AI plans. While it’s unlikely we’ll hear about RTX 5000 GPUs, I’m sure Nvidia will have some GeForce-related news. You can tune in, below.

NASA, Boeing, and the United Launch Alliance had hoped for a shorter delay, but NASA says the ULA is taking more time to troubleshoot an issue with ground launch systems that halted the mission less than four minutes from liftoff.

Sean Fletcher, a UI designer who makes skins for the Delta emulator for iOS, announced a series of Pride-themed skins (pictured in the gallery below).

You can pay what you want, but Fletcher says June 2024 proceeds from this particular set will go to Rainbow Railroad, a non-profit devoted to aiding LGBTQI+ people around the world who face persecution. Here’s a guide for installing Delta skins.

The classic PlayStation platformer is coming back with a new edition on the PS5. It launches on August 1st (a PS4 version will follow). “I’ve long wished that the game could be accessible to more people on modern systems,” creator Tokuro Fujiwara explained on the PlayStation Blog. “Now that the opportunity is here.”

It’s expanding InHome delivery to 10 more cities, including Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and San Bernardino.

With InHome, a delivery person wearing a camera uses a one-time code for a smart lock or garage door to deliver orders inside your home.

Soon, you won’t even have to order. Walmart is developing a replenishment service that automatically orders groceries for you.

As Drake attempts to flip taunts by Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, and Metro Boomin on Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything,” the beat transitions into a sample of the AI-generated song “BBL Drizzy.”

While the Udio-generated master recording is public domain, creator King Willonious’ lyrics are copyright protected, so he could get paid for a writer credit, as Billboard reporter Kristin Robinson explains.

According to Mark Gurman, noted Apple whisperer, we can expect a Settings redesign in iOS 18. Which, have you seen the settings menu in iOS recently? It’s chaos. We’d already heard that MacOS 15 might come with a settings overhaul, but news of a possible iOS cleanup is music to my ears.
