The Blue Moon update makes me want to play Fallout 76 again

Fallout 76 just got a new update with fresh public events, daily ops mutations, and rewards. 

In a pleasant surprise the Xbox Extended Showcase gave us a sneak peak into Fallout 76's newest update, Once in a Blue Moon. This howling horror show depicts mutant werewolves among a flurry of other monstrosities that'll be attacking your bases, so team up and suit up because it looks like this'll be a long night.

Once in a Blue Moon will launch June 20, 2023 and will be free-to-play for anyone who already owns Fallout 76. Jon Rush, art director for Fallout 76, walked us through everything we need to know about this upcoming event for the multiplayer RPG.  

“A blue moon has risen over the hills of the Appalachian mountains” Rush says.”Bringing with it a ton of brilliant new content for players”. So get ready for a flurry of new cryptids like the werewolf-esque blue devil and the turtle mutant Ogwa. Both of these monsters will threaten the progress of the Blue Ridge Caravan Company if nothing is done to stop them. 

While the trailer is relatively short, this multiplayer horror show actually looks pretty fun. I haven't stepped foot into this RPG since the dark days of its release, but Blue Moon looks interesting enough for me to bite the bullet and dive back into this post-apocalyptic world. 

While there’s still some apprehension surrounding Fallout 76 thanks to its less than brilliant initial release, I’m hopeful that all the updates and patches since have made this iconic series installment worthwhile. After the redemption story of Cyberpunk 2077 anything is possible when it comes to bringing a game out of the mud and back to some sort of glory. 

Keep up with all of our coverage this announcement season with all of our E3 2023 coverage.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
