'The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask' joins Nintendo Switch Online in February

Posted in: Today's Chili

Soon after adding Banjo-Kazooie to Switch Online’s Expansion Pack, Nintendo is preparing to bring another classic game to the service. In February, The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask will join the lineup.

It’ll be interesting to see whether Nintendo has resolved the emulation issues many players had with Ocarina of Time, the predecessor to Majora’s Mask, on Switch. Majora’s Mask is one of the most highly regarded Zelda games, so it’d be disappointing if the full experience of the N64 title isn’t properly replicated on the handheld console.

Nintendo announced Expansion Pack, a higher tier of Switch Online that includes Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games, back in September. It said at the time Majora’s Mask was one of the games in the pipeline for the service. Other N64 titles on the way include F-Zero X, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Mario Golf and the original Pokémon Snap.

DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman leaves Google

Posted in: Today's Chili

Mustafa Suleyman, a co-founder of artificial intelligence research company DeepMind, has left Google to join venture capital firm Greylock Partners. Suleyman has brought to an end an eight-year run at Google, where he was most recently the company’s vice president of AI product management and policy.

He joined Google when it bought DeepMind in 2014 and became the latter’s head of applied AI. Suleyman was reportedly placed on administrative leave in 2019 following allegations that he bullied employees. Suleyman, who moved to Google at the end of that year, said on a podcast with Greylock partner Reid Hoffman this week that he “really screwed up” and that “I remain very sorry about the impact that that caused people and the hurt that people felt there.”

As The New York Times notes, Suleyman was among those who resisted Google’s AI endeavors with the US Department of Defense. Google ended up backing out of that project, though in November it said it was making a bid for the Pentagon’s Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability cloud contract.

DeepMind may be best known for its AI systems that can compete with the best human players of certain games. Google has also employed DeepMind’s knowhow to improve arrival time estimates in Google Maps, track wildlife and detect breast cancer.

Samsung's 1TB T7 Touch SSD is $50 off at Amazon

Posted in: Today's Chili

Samsung’s handy T7 Touch portable SSD is cheaper right now than it was during the holiday shopping season just a couple of months ago. The 1TB black model is down to a new low of $140, which is $50 off and the best price we’ve seen it. Most other versions are also discounted, including the 500GB model for $105, but you’ll get the best deal if you go for the black 1TB drive.

Buy T7 Touch (1TB) at Amazon – $140

Storage gadgets are some that are useful to keep around, but often expensive to get your hands on. That’s why we recommend waiting for a sale like this one to pick up an extra drive, SD card and the like while you can get them for less. Samsung’s T7 Touch is a palm-sized portable SSD with read speeds up to 1,050 MB/s and write speeds up to 1,000 MB/s, plus features like Dynamic Thermal Guard to control heat levels. While the drive supports optional password protection, the kicker here is its built-in fingerprint reader that you can use as an extra layer of security.

The T7 Touch’s compact design helps it fit into nearly any bag you may be carrying, plus its shock- and drop-resistant aluminum unibody should protect it from too much damage if it accidentally takes a tumble. We also appreciate that it comes with both USB-C to C and USB-C to A cables, allowing you to use the drive with most laptops, smartphones, tablets and even some game consoles.
