After months of back and forth, the billionaire Elon Musk reportedly finally agreed to fulfill his commitment to buy Twitter at the original price. However, this is not yet certain, and the court has postponed their trial to October 28. Musk already said he is waiting to receive $13 billion from Morgan Stanley and seven other banks to fund the deal. Now, financial experts say the banks that want to fund this deal may lose “$500m or more if the debt were to be sold now....

What does this newly-spotted automatic wallpaper dimming feature do in Android 13? The optional feature, tucked in the latest beta update for Digital Wellbeing is straightforward. Bedtime Mode sets up a device to dim the screen, turn off notifications, and more at a user-specified time. That’s with the underlying goal of helping users wind down and use their handsets less at bedtime. With the new feature in place, it isn’t just the screen that will undergo automatic dimming in conjunction with Bedtime Mode....

Why is this only translating from English, and how do you access it? As noted above, this is just an initial launch. But it’s also the first of its kind for a streaming music app. For now, Deezer is billing its Lyrics Translation as a way to “brush up on” or “learn” a new language through music. That’s for either English-speaking or non-English speaking users. But that obviously won’t be the only use....

Blizzard’s Diablo Immortal officially launched last week on June 2. Going live as early as June 1 for most people on mobile. Everything seemed relatively positive the first couple of days. Then the weekend hit. And players started to dig into the game’s Elder Rifts activity. Where you can slot in crests to improve your chances of getting legendary gems, which in turn will improve your gear. According to GameRant (who cites Bellular Gaming) it would take upwards of $110,000 to buy enough crests to help you max out your character with rank 5 legendary gems....

“Currently what I’m being told is that there’s just no way to know the number of bots. It’s like, as unknowable as the human soul,” Musk said at the conference (via Bloomberg). The removal of bots was one of Musk’s primary goals behind the acquisition. However, the SpaceX CEO said last week that the acquisition was “temporarily on hold” since he didn’t get a fair estimate of the number of bots on Twitter....

ESPN+ will feature the Denver Broncos at Jacksonville Jaguars from Wembley Stadium in London, England, at 9:30 a.m. ET on October 30 (Week 8)” ESPN noted. Disney CEO Bob Chapek had previously stressed the importance of sports streaming for the company....

The company is reportedly limiting access to a few internal groups including ones that handle “sensitive” topics like elections and public safety. Somewhat ironically, the steps taken to reduce leaks have leaked in a report. This also illustrates the severity of the problems facing the social media juggernaut. During Haugen’s Senate testimony, we learned that many of the important documents she provided to Congress and the U.S. SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) were easily accessible to a large number of the company’s employees....

Among the notable features of Professional Mode is the inclusion of the Reels Play program. This enables creators to make up to $35,000 each month, depending on the views of their Reels. The program was only available to users with individual Pages in the past but is now available to a handful of professional profiles. Professional Mode profiles offer the same kind of insight as Pages on Facebook. These profiles can access detailed information on comments, shares, reactions, follower growth, etc....

Earlier this month, Google sent a letter to the FEC requesting an advisory opinion on the said plan. The company wants to launch a pilot program that would stop Gmail algorithms from sending campaign emails from some FEC-registered political committees to the spam folder. The Commission sought public opinion on the matter and received an overwhelming response. It is now extending the deadline so more Americans can share what they feel about Google’s plan....

The three Final Fantasy games got a big visual overhaul The most notable thing about these pixel remasters is the fact that the visuals have been updated. They’re still pixel graphics, but there’s a noticeable difference from the original versions. For those who don’t know, the first three Final Fantasy games were originally released on the NES, meaning that they had 8-bit graphics. The pixel remasters brings the graphics closer to what we saw in the Super Nintendo....

The Fortnitemares film festival will focus on spooky shorts Those who are into the spooky and macabre should like this little showcase. In the spirit of Halloween, Fornite will be showing several animated shorts by up-and-coming independent animators, as with the other film festivals. This time, however, these will lean more toward the spooky side of things. Usually, the film festivals are held on the combat-free map called “Party Royale.” The films would be “projected” on a screen out in the open....

Now, normally you wouldn’t need all this extra hype from Fossil on something like the Gen 6 smartwatch. That’s because Fossil’s smartwatches running on Wear OS have consistently been some of the best ones on the market for years. Not the other brands under the Fossil Group, like Puma, DIESEL, Michael Kors and others, but the Fossil-branded watches. Watches from those other brands have been fine, but Fossil’s own have often been the favorite for the platform....

The camera sensor itself is, as shown in the new images, relatively massive-looking. Following on trends leading to increased camera sensor sizes and improved resolution. As well as improvements to light captured and other aspects of mobile photography. The front-facing camera, conversely, is tucked into a pinhole-style cutout in the display. Matching the expectations, with regard to potential specs. And potentially confirming at least a couple of attributes of the incoming device....

As of this writing, the new SMR (security maintenance release) for the carrier-locked Galaxy S20 FE (SM-G781U) is available to users on Sprint and T-Mobile networks in the US.

According to SamMobile, Samsung has started rolling out the September security update to a bunch of devices recently. Namely, the Galaxy S21, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy S10, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy A72, and the Galaxy A52 are now receiving the new SMR in various countries across the world. The rollout began over the past few days and should expand to more regions in the coming weeks....

According to noted industry insider Max Jambor, Samsung has manufactured just about 10,000 Galaxy S21 phones so far. Of course, that’s not all the company will produce. But the numbers are a lot lesser than what they should have been at this stage. Companies usually begin the mass production of new devices five to six weeks before the launch. With the Galaxy S21 FE expected to go official next month, Samsung doesn’t have much time on its hands....

What’s also missing is a 3.5mm headphone jack. You will require a USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter to listen to music over a wired connection, or find a pair of USB Type-C headphones. Samsung will also not include a charging adapter in the box with the Galaxy S21 FE. So unless you have a perfectly working USB Type-C charger spare at home, you will need to buy one separately. The user manual expectedly doesn’t go into detail about the device specs....
