A hot potato: Despite Amazon's public stance on price gouging, a new report highlights several key findings that seem to contradict the e-commerce giant's claims. The report finds that the company has not only engaged in price gouging on items sold directly by Amazon, but has also facilitated inflated prices for third-party sellers, all while misleading the public and law enforcement. The report highlights the need for price gouging laws at the federal level, and also calls for Amazon to reform its own pricing practices

Highly anticipated: While there's a Zen 3 announcement inbound, we're getting a few key details ahead of the October announcement thanks to leaked developer documents. While this leak doesn't paint the whole picture for what Zen 3 is going to look like, it suggests it should be another strong CPU series for AMD with lots of generational improvements.

Allegedly confidential documents have been leaked by Twitter user CyberPunkCat that seem to offer details on changes to Zen 3 that will come with the Ryzen 4000 desktop

Something to look forward to: Sony will conduct one last, special "PlayStation 5 showcase" livestream this week. In it, they’re expected to announce the price and release date of the PS5, while showing off gameplay from launch titles.

Sony describes the event as “one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!)” and says it will “weight in at around 40 minutes, and feature updates on the latest titles.” The stream

Why it matters: After weeks of speculation about the future of ARM, it seems a deal is about to be struck between SoftBank and Nvidia, allowing the GPU maker to acquire ARM in what would be one of the most expensive tech acquisitions in history. Any such deal involving tech giants is guaranteed to be met with regulatory force, but Nvidia is likely betting it can assuage lawmakers and regulators.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, SoftBank and Nvidia are nearing a deal for the graphics giant to acquire ARM

Rumor mill: According to fresh rumors, it seems a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti may be in the works, with a launch that may even preempt the vanilla RTX 3060. If this happens, the most logical explanation would be Nvidia is flexing its muscle to steal as much thunder from AMD's Big Navi release as possible.

The supposed RTX 3060 Ti would launch in October, the same month that Nvidia's upcoming RTX 3070 is supposed to arrive.

Cutting corners: In the midst of its controversial legal battle with Epic Games, Apple has updated its App Store guidelines allowing third-party game-streaming services on iOS and iPadOS. But there’s a big catch: Apple wants companies to submit their games individually, as separate apps.

The move means that game-streaming services like xCloud and Stadia can make the leap to iPhones and iPads, but that individual titles offered by each service will need to be released as separate iOS and iPadOS apps. While Apple is

Highly anticipated: Crysis Remastered will be the first (and possibly only) game to run on current-gen consoles with ray tracing enabled. Crytek has used novel software techniques to implement a rudimentary but quite aesthetic form of ray tracing that needs no hardware acceleration and thus runs well on consoles and non-RTX GPUs.

Crysis Remastered appears to be following in the footsteps of its predecessor: both the original and the remastered version have introduced impressive new visuals, and both are pretty hard to run when maxed out. Enabling ray

A hot potato: Cyberattacks have increased in frequency since the start of the pandemic, and they're reaching unprecedented levels. Ransomware accounts for almost half of all cyber insurance claims for the first half of the year, with some going into seven figures territory.

Last year, ransomware attacks jumped 41 percent and hit hundreds of thousands of organizations that were forced to pay dearly to get access to their important files. The number of attacks increased 25 percent during the first months of the pandemic, as ransomware makers didn

In context: Star Citizen has been the subject of quite a bit of criticism over the past few years, due to its slow development cycle and overpriced ships. However, despite the negativity, the game's developers have continued to forge ahead, and Star Citizen is finally starting to take shape.

Roberts Space Industries (RSI, the team behind the game) releases new features and mechanics at a much quicker pace than they have in the past.

Unfortunately, accessing the game and experiencing that new content isn't
