The USB Promoter Group has announced USB4 version 2.0, which they claim will deliver speeds up to 80 Gbps. That’s twice the 40 Gbps promised by the original USB4 and even Thunderbolt 4. The real kicker, though, is that we can experience the enhanced speeds using existing 40 Gbps USB Type-C passive cables. “Once again following USB tradition, this updated USB4 specification doubles data performance to deliver higher levels of functionality to the USB Type-C ecosystem,” Brad Saunders, Chairman of the USB Promoter Group, said in a press release....

Along with today’s iOS 16 Release, Apple has also dropped the public version of watchOS 9 for the Apple Watch. The update adds four new watch face options (Lunar, Playtime, Metropolitan, and Astronomy), each with a different visual theme and incorporated information sets. Faces are also getting more customization options via editable background colors and a depth effect for portraits that can make text appear behind the image’s subject....

RELATED: Most Immersive MMORPGs When the game was first released, players could choose between fire staves, life staves, or ice gauntlets when it came to a selection of magical weapons. The void gauntlet was added in a later patch, giving characters with high scores in Intelligence and Focus another customization option. The following weapons aren’t exactly the most epic that players can find or craft, but considering their level, abilities, and how easy or difficult they are to acquire, these are relatively the best weapons for their level....

Cricinfo reports that Abahani’s Alauddin Babu conceded no less than 39 runs in a single over, with Zimbabwe’s Elton Chigumbura making most of a very ordinary over from the young fast bowler. Alauddin, who previously has played for Bangladesh’s U19 team, started the over by giving away 6 runs without even bowling a legal delivery. His first ball was a no-ball which went for a four, and was followed up with a wide....

New World is unique among other MMOs as each player has roughly the same beginning. Despite the fantasy setting, everyone in New World starts as a shipwrecked human with no class or specialization which is also unusual for this genre. What is not unusual for New World is how it explains its lore to the players. This typically comes from quests, exploration, and various notes and logs scattered throughout Aeternum....

Queue times for capped New World servers are growing extraordinarily long as players try and join servers with their friends, Twitch streamers, or other popular online gaming communities. The length of certain queues for more popular New World servers extends over 10,000 players, with one server’s total number of players in queue sitting just below 25,000. Another server sits at 8,000 players in queue, but due to players not dropping its estimated wait time stretches over 116 hours....

“The governor has abused his powers,” Kim said to host Neil Cavuto on Fox News’ Cavuto Live on Saturday. “He has a pattern of abusive behavior. He has abused me and my family by calling me and threatening my career in front of my kids, in front of my wife…We must hold him accountable…that’s what’s at stake right now.” Cavuto asked Kim about his battle between him and Cuomo, which began after the revelation the governor reportedly concealed data on COVID-19 related deaths in nursing homes....

Although NYFW has been held at studios and event spaces in New York since it was first established by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert in 1943, the invite-only experience will feature a twist this year. Some designers won’t actually be premiering their lines in the concrete jungle but instead will showcase in Los Angeles. Tom Ford, the Council of Fashion Designers America chairman and one of NYFW’s most beloved designers, is pegged to showcase his 2020 fall/winter collection in Los Angeles on Friday, just two days before the annual Academy Awards....

The statute, outlined in Section 50-A of New York’s civil rights law, previously designated all records confidential unless the officer they concerned gave written consent stating otherwise. It applied to complaints and disciplinary proceedings, preventing public access to the information and forming barriers against court retrieval. The bill to repeal Section 50-A, introduced by members of New York’s State Senate on June 6, also proposed amendments to other areas of legislation related to public officers....

It is estimated that over 29,000 substitute teachers work in New York. State labor officials would not provide the AP with data on how many applied for the unemployment benefits last year because of the pandemic or how many were told they had to return the benefits. However, labor advocates said they believe thousands of substitute teachers and education employees were told they had to give back the cash they received....

Bruni took on the role of opinion writer for the paper in June 2011, but he is stepping down to join Duke University as an endowed professor of journalism. He is not completely saying goodbye to the Times, though, as he will continue writing his newsletter for the outlet as well as contribute occasional opinion columns. He’s been working at The New York Times since 1995, where he’s enjoyed multiple positions, including an acclaimed stint as a food critic....

New York ended their drought in the AL with a 9-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. It has been a remarkable season for the Yankees, and not only because of the superb individual performances but by how many players contributed to the title. Players like Gio Urshela, Mike Tauchman and Mike Ford were relatively unknown to the Yankees before the season started, but they have combined to hit 44 home runs and drive in 139 runs this year as Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks all missed significant amounts of time....

The Indian participation is the biggest in the men’s singles draw, which sees as many as seven shuttlers from India in the 32-player field. Sameer is the fifth seed and takes on Sony Dwi Kuncoro in the first round. Verma could run into the top seed Lin Dan in the quarter-finals. If he manages to cross that hurdle, he could come up against the eighth seed Kantaphon Wangcharoen of Thailand or fourth seed Hsu Jen Hao of Chinese Taipei in the last-four stage....

The Kiwis led by Kane Williamson had a few practice sessions at the Cricket Club of India, the venue of the warm- up game ahead of their lung opener. Senior players including Williamson, Ross Taylor and Martin Guptill would like to get some runs under their belt before going into the series. Board President’s XI, on the other hand, is a relatively young side captained by Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer, who has been in good form for the India A team....

Gavaskar has been quite vocal about the lack of consistency in the batting order, especially regarding KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, in ODIs and T20Is as Indian captain Virat Kohli has struggled to find a fixed line-up of late. He also advocated the significance of left-handers in the team, saying that it will benefit the side if another one apart from Shikhar Dhawan was brought in the top-order. As far as the finisher’s role was concerned, Gavaskar backed Pant to don the much-anticipated role, following in the footsteps of former Indian captain MS Dhoni....

Konami is a huge business but a lot of people focus on the gaming output of the game company. As a result, many wonder what Konami will do with its IPs which are widely celebrated and anticipated. The company has now renewed the Zone of the Enders license and it could mark an interesting project for the developer and publisher. The previous Zone of the Enders games involved Hideo Kojima, but it is highly unlikely that the creator will be joining forces with the company again to make a new game....

Phil Murphy also ruled out declaring a state of emergency in the city, where thousands of households are relying on bottled water, after it emerged the Pequannock treatment plant failed to prevent lead from corroding off pipes and into the water supply. On August 9, the Environmental Protection Agency recommended that Newark residents be provided with bottled water to drink and cook with after its analysis revealed that tens of thousands of household lead filters provided to residents of the Pequannock service area last year “may not be performing as expected....

Lines in the Sand One of the key mechanics that makes New World stand out is its use of Factions to create a constantly warring world for players to explore. Of course, you can choose whether or not you want to partake in player versus player (PVP) combat, but you’ll still need to choose a Faction and start working towards helping your particular group establish its power in this, ahem, new world....

There are a four new chips that manufacturers can pick between: Ryzen 7 5825C, Ryzen 5 5625C, and Ryzen 3 5425C and Ryzen 3 5125C. Core counts range from two to eight and clock speeds from 3.0GHz to 4.5GHz, but several specs are consistent across the lineup. The underlying Zen 3 architecture, which debuted with the Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs back in 2020, is one common factor. All four CPUs use a 7nm manufacturing process, despite the Ryzen 6000 Series having shifted to 6nm....
