    Now, you can paste Markdown text into Google Docs just by right-clicking.

    Google is improving its support for Markdown in Google Docs, including giving users the ability to convert Markdown to Docs formatting when you paste and the ability to copy Docs content as Markdown.

    The updates make it possible for developers to “collaborate on software documentation in Docs and then export it as Markdown for use in other Markdown supporting tools,” Google says.

    There are currently issues linking Xbox accounts with GeForce Now.

    It’s a “global outage,” according to an Nvidia status message. “We are working on a fix to bring back the service as soon as possible.”

    Nvidia’s other GeForce Now services appear to be operational, so perhaps this issue is tied to everything else going on.

    A Microsoft outage affected Frontier’s systems.

    Frontier says that if your flight was impacted, you can request a refund. The Federal Aviation Administration had to ground Frontier flights, but that ground stop was lifted after 10PM ET.

    Microsoft services had been subject to a few problems Thursday evening, that got even worse on Friday after a bad CloudStrike update.

    Update: noted that issue is resolved.

    I’m born to play as Spiritborn.

    Blizzard announced a bunch of details about Diablo IV’s upcoming Spiritborn class, and I think it looks awesome. You can call upon spirit animals to help destroy baddies!

    The new class comes to the game with the Vessel of Hatred expansion, which launches on October 8th. I’ve linked a short trailer below, but you can also watch a replay of Blizzard’s full reveal livestream.
