Framework has begun shipping out AMD mainboards for its 13-inch laptop, which was previously Intel-only. The component experts over at Tom’s Hardware have popped open their 13-inch model and swapped its Intel Core i7 out for an AMD Ryzen chip. The process took less than 30 minutes. Less than 30 minutes!

“All upgrades should be this easy,” editor Andrew E. Freedman writes.

Per Matthew Russell Lee of Inner City Press, a witness in the ongoing Sam Bankman-Fried trial had to spell out “D-O-G-E” in response to a question from a prosecutor. It doesn’t look like there were any follow-up questions about a cryptocurrency based on a meme. It’s probably for the best.

Well, the FEMA alert went out — two minutes early, even. It really did hit many of our phones at once, despite people from multiple states being represented in this screenshot from one of The Verge’s Slack channels. And as you can see, it surprised the heck out of us.

Judging from the loud thud from my upstairs bedroom, it startled my napping partner, too. (She’s okay)

Google is rolling out Android 14 to Pixel 4A 5G devices and up. You can view the full list of fixes coming this month to all supported Pixel devices from the link below.

When you’re using Halide, the Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro phones can now, according to the app’s patch notes for version 2.13:

Toggle manual or autofocus

Cycle through your lenses

Switch between auto and manual exposure modes

Switch between 12 and 48MP capture modes

Toggle RAW capture

and even capture a photo! (though, with a delay - we suggest using the volume button instead)

There are more details in the patch notes, so I encourage you to read them for yourself. Using a Shortcut, you can also use the Action Button to open up Halide, too.

Monster was one of my favorite movies from the Toronto film festival this year, and now you can get a glimpse of it. From prolific director Hirokazu Kore-eda, Monster is about school bullying, but it also slowly reveals itself to be something much more complicated, with a story told from multiple perspectives that’s something of a puzzle. The movie opens in New York on November 22nd and LA on December 1st, before “expanding to additional markets in December.”

OK, not really, but it is just as fun. John Wick seems to have inspired a new wave of revenge movies; just yesterday we got the trailer for a Christmas-themed thriller from John Woo, and now comes The Beekeeper, starring Jason Statham.

It’s about “one man’s brutal campaign for vengeance takes on national stakes after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as Beekeepers,” which sounds like an Ubisoft game that I need to play immediately. It’s in theaters on January 12th.
