Cloud gaming is going in on Fallout.

Prime Video’s Fallout adaptation started streaming last night, but if you couldn’t get enough, Amazon has announced that it’s making Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition and Fallout: New Vegas available through Luna. You can play both games for free for the next six months. If you don’t use Amazon Luna, you can still get Fallout 76 for free with a Prime membership.

Meanwhile, Nvidia’s GeForce Now is adding both Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 to its lineup.

You can now adjust the sleep timer settings on your Kindle.

Amazon’s latest software update lets Kindle users adjust the lock screen timeout interval — previously set to 10 minutes — so you don’t have to keep waking up your Kindle if you need to take a longer break.

The update also gives the ability to filter the content of Kindle libraries by subscription type and reading format.

Amazon lays off hundreds in the AWS physical store technology team.

The layoff comes after reports that the company is doing away with its Just Walk Out cashierless retail tech at its large format stores. GeekWire reports AWS VP Dilip Kumar cited the change in emails about the cuts internally.

As CNBC notes, Amazon has laid off more people since 2022 than at any point in its history. This year, that’s included Twitch and Amazon Health.
