To do this, you just need to get your reputation up to level 12 and pick up the Moment of Clarity perk at the Shaping Slab. The quest will then ask you to collect the rest of the Taken Osseous Fragments (which weve listed above). Youll also need to complete a single Expert difficulty run of The Nether. If youve already gotten all the fragments and done an Expert run, getting Moment of Clarity will auto-complete the final two steps of the quest and instantly reward you with the Panic Response IV Intrinsic Upgrade.The Barrow-Dyad Catalysts have also started to creep into the game as of Act 2, and also come from secret-adjacent quests.

The Barrow-Dyad Catalysts have finally started to arrive in Act 2 of Destiny 2: Heresy. But unlike previous episodic Exotic Catalysts, these dont come from running a mission multiple times. Instead, youll need to fulfill some secret conditions.In this Destiny 2 guide, well walk you through how to unlock the first Barrow-Dyad Catalyst in Destiny 2. This Catalyst is called High-Impact Reserves. Barrow-Dyad can also have the The Hatchling, One For All, and Target Lock Catalyst Refits, but theyre currently unavailable in-game.This walkthrough assumes youve finished the Dyadic Ascension quest already to fully upgrade your Barrow-Dyads Intrinsic Perk. How to get the High-Impact Reserves Catalyst for Barrow-DyadTo get the High-Impact Rounds Catalyst Refit for Barrow-Dyad, youll need to complete an Expert version of the Court of Blades activity with the Exotic submachine gun equipped. When the activity ends, youll get an Exotic quest called Sharp Osseous Spine. Take this quest back to the Shaping Slab in Eris apartment and exchange it for the A Needles Path Exotic quest.The first step of this quest is to fully rank up the Path of Resolve, getting it to reputation level 12. Complete various episodic activities (wearing the episodic armor gives you a boost here!) to level up until you reach the final level and claim the Moment of Clarity upgrade. If youve completed the Dyadic Ascension quest already, A Needles Path will skip to its second and final step.Once youve reached rank 12 on the Path of Resolve and completed the first step, youll need to do another Expert level Court of Blades. However, this time, youre limited to using precision weapons only (plus Barrow-Dyad). Heres everything thats fair game to use:Scout riflesLinear fusion riflesSniper riflesBarrow-DyadIf you complete the Court of Blades on Expert with the proper loadout, the High-Impact Reserves Catalyst will drop from the final chest. Head to The Enclave to re-craft Barrow-Dyad with your new Catalyst.When will the other Barrow-Dyad Catalysts be available?The other Barrow-Dyad Catalysts will become available as Heresy continues in Destiny 2, but as of this writing, are not yet available.Its possible that one or more of the missing Catalysts could be hidden in Act 2 or even time-gated until Act 3 begins on April 1. Based on how theyre organized in the crafting menu, it seems that after High-Impact Reserves (detailed above), well get the other three Catalysts in this order: Hatchling, One For All, and Target Lock.Well update this guide with instructions on how to get the other Catalysts as they release.

But if all you're looking for is a big screen with decent smart features, good visuals, and a low price, the 75-inch LG UR9000 is a great option.This set is $449.99 (originally $1,099.99) on Woot, a 59% discount and the lowest price it has reached according to price tracking tools.

It doesn't get very bright compared to pricier models, with 516 nits in SDR and 610 in HDR, making watching HDR movies in direct sunlight or very bright rooms a lesser experience. LG also cut costs on the contrast and local dimming features. However, since this is an IPS panel, the viewing angles are great, which is a plus if you plan to place this massive TV in your living room. It'll also handle reflections from lamps or lights well. It's also a good option as a gaming TV or as an oversized computer monitor, as it has a low input lag of 10.4 ms at 1080p with 60Hz. If size isn't as important for you as some of the specs this TV lacks, you can spend $50 more for the 65-Inch Hisense U6, which it's a much better TV according to PCMag's review. But if you're someone who games casually, love watching sports, and wants a giant 75-inch screen at a low price, the UR9000 will serve you well.

If you've been dealing with Google Messages issuesparticular with regards to sending photos and videosyou aren't alone. Messages users are complaining about images that are slow to load when sent via RCS. Media shows up blurry for minutes at a time before users can actually open them. Photos and videos are also arriving compressed, which is something to be expected on SMS, not RCS.Luckily for those affected, Google has taken notice. In a Tuesday post on the company's support website, a community manager acknowledged the "frustrating issues" with sending media in Google Messages, and shared some good news: The Google team has been "actively working on this," and has issued updates dedicated to "significantly improving media receiving performance." There doesn't appear to be a new update to install to solve the issues on the users' end, which likely indicates these changes are happening behind the scenes on Google's side. Still, it doesn't hurt to keep Google Messages itself updated. Head to its Play Store page to make sure you're running the latest version of the app. If not, you'll want to hit Update. Hopefully, following all these changes, you'll shake these media issues for good. Despite the company's optimism about the update, the post does suggest the problems here could be complicated. It doesn't help that Google avoids identifying the specific features in question that they've addressed, simply noting them as slowdowns and failures with media. As such, Google encourages users to continue sharing any issues they run into. Whether that means Google knows these particular issues could still be present when sending and receiving media in Google Messages isn't clear, but it's good context moving forward. How to report Google Messages bugs to GoogleIf after today, you're still experiencing these media problems, or any issues at all with Google Messages, you should tell Google about them. To do so, open the app, tap your profile icon in the top right, then choose Help & feedback. Tap Send feedback at the bottom of this page, then choose whether you'd like Google Play services to access your device logs. (Choosing not to is fine.) From here, you can write out your feedback, and including screenshots or system logs if you like, before sending the feedback as an email.

Intel has a new leader at the helm, hoping to change course after a challenging period for the chipmaker. The company announced today that Lip-Bu Tan will serve as its new CEO effective March 18. He assumes the mantle from interim Co-CEOs David Zinsner and Michelle (MJ) Johnston Holthaus, who took over after the abrupt retirement of Pat Gelsinger late last year."Intel has a powerful and differentiated computing platform, a vast customer installed base and a robust manufacturing footprint that is getting stronger by the day as we rebuild our process technology roadmap," Tan said. "I am eager to join the company and build upon the work the entire Intel team has been doing to position our business for the future."As part of his appointment, Tan will also rejoin Intel's board of directors. He had previously been a board member, but quit after two years in August 2024. While the move was publicly credited as a personal decision by Tan, sources suggested he was frustrated by Intel's risk-averse strategy and culture.Tan is a veteran of the semiconductor and software industries. He spent more than a decade as the CEO of Cadence Design Systems, as well as 19 years on the company's board of directors. Tan has a long history as a tech investor as a founding managing partner of Walden Catalyst Ventures and chairman of Walden International.Intel attracted negative press in the past year for issues with CPU instability, followed by a huge number of layoffs. But the heart of its problems date much farther back, and it could take more than just a new CEO to fully right the ship.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/intel-names-lip-bu-tan-its-new-ceo-211216526.html?src=rss

No one is left behind with our first look at the cast in the live-action Lilo & Stitch.

Y2K is arriving on Max after being met with very mixed reviews by critics.

Intel said on Wednesday that Lip-Bu Tan is taking over as CEO, three months after Pat Gelsinger resigned from the post.

Within three months of becoming CEO of the Honest Company in 2023, Carla Vernn slashed 25% of its eco-friendly goods. That seems tame in comparison to what happened when Brad Charron joined Aloha as CEO in 2017: He killed off every product category.Now on the other side of major rebrands and company pivots, these CEOs say there wasnt necessarily a playbook to follow when they joined their respective companies as outsiders. While assuming the role of turnaround CEO proved difficultand not one either would like to undertake againthere are many lessons learned, which they shared during a discussion at the Fast Company Grill at SXSW.When Charron was initially approached about becoming chief marketing officer of Aloha, he was unimpressed with the product lineup and after about an hour meeting with the team, he concluded the organic, plant-based food company wouldnt be in business a year from then. He ultimately decided to join Aloha as CEO, giving himself a made-up title of re-founder, and initiated a company re-start, killing off all of existing products like trail mix and chocolates and launching the current lineup of protein bars, powders and drinks.It was a complete destruction because that was what was needed, Charron told the SXSW audience. You couldnt step-change your way to fixing all that illed it.While Vernns changes at Honest were less drastic, she had the added pressure of overseeing a publicly-traded companyWall Street gave me no grace. Honest had gone public less than two years before she arrived and while private, it had experimented with launching products in a wide variety of categories, she said.One of her first tasks as CEO was to evaluate the wide range of Honest items, from the core or hero products beloved by consumers to those with varying success by financial metricsand everything in-between. In the end, 25% of the products were slashed.People think that thats risky, but our company grew revenues for the first time in two years when we had less variety in our portfolio because we could focus on what mattered and what was good, she said. Product quality is your number one focus.EMPOWERING EMPLOYEESEmpowering employees to have a sense of ownership at both Honest and Aloha was also key to these turnaround success stories, the CEOs said.There is more scrutiny and skepticism of the outsider, both from the employee base and from the investor base, who has to figure out whether they can trust you managing their money, Vernn said. One of the things I introduced is that every single full time employeeI dont care if that is the office mom or if that is the CFOthey are all shareholders, and so they are all invested in us figuring out how to be aligned with our retail partners and with our investors.Charron likewise focused on ensuring employees felt a sense of ownership in Aloha.The most precious thing we have in the world is our time, and theres nothing worse than wasting your energy and your heart and your soul on something thats not symmetrically set up for a future success, he said. I had to find people who would be willing to kind of put their skin on the line a little bit and be an employee-owner mentality.NAVIGATING DIFFICULTYEven though he came into a situation he knew would be difficultand proved to be difficultand Charron said it was important to recognize that fixing so much that was broken wouldnt happen quickly.Everything across the entire ecosystem of the company needed to be questioned and we needed to have patience that eventually we were going to build something that was going to work, he said. Thats really kind-of the core discipline that has gotten Aloha to where it is today.Vernn had more time pressure to enact a pivother first earnings call was eight weeks after she became CEOand she needed the buy-in of the board of directors and investors. While she said working at Honest has been the thrill and adventure of a lifetime, there were some tough days early on and thats when she leaned on her support network.It was a very, I think fragile moment for us as a company and I am so proud that weve come through actually stronger.
