    Samsung and AMD will continue to work together on mobile chips.

    The two companies have signed a “multi-year agreement extension,” building on their partnership struck in 2019. Samsung debuted its first mobile SoC with AMD’s RDNA 2 graphics architecture, the Exynos 2200, in January 2022, which was later used with some Galaxy S22 models.

    Want to hear a robot narrate golf?

    Then watch this video shared by Golf Digest’s Stephen Hennessey. AI commentary like this will be used in the app for this weekend’s Masters golf tournament to narrate “more than 20,000 video clips” over the course of the event, according to a press release.

    The commentary admittedly isn’t great. But like most golf footage, I find it oddly relaxing.

    Interesting timing.

    The European Commission revealed Tuesday that it contacted Nintendo to “address the recurring technical problem with irresponsive Switch controllers” (read: Joy-Con drift) — and would you look at that, a day before, Nintendo announced that it would repair faulty Joy-Cons for free in more parts of Europe. Huh.

    Metaverse Fashion Week had big brands but few people

    Decentraland’s Metaverse Fashion Week featured virtual clothes and exhibits from some major names in fashion, but it was lonely, difficult to navigate, and pretty boring.

    Twitter tried to hide who pays for their checkmark, but life finds a way.

    Twitter has made it harder to tell who has paid for a verified checkmark, but on iOS, you can see who is paying for Twitter Blue with this shortcut shared by Matt Navarra. There are browser extensions that can do this, too. But given how chaotic Twitter is right now, just keep in mind that these could stop working at any moment.
