One year after Nubia announced its original Red Magic gaming phone, and fewer than six months after the release of the Red Magic 2, the company is back with another gaming smartphone called the Red Magic 3. The big change for the third generation of Red Magic phones is the cooling, which pairs liquid cooling with an internal “turbo fan,” which Nubia claims is an industry first.
Cooling has been a sore spot with gaming-focused smartphones in the past. The Razer Phone 2 had an annoying habit of getting pretty warm under load, while you had to use an external clip-on fan if you wanted to actively cool the Asus ROG Phone. Ostensibly, the Magic 3’s built-in fan should solve both problems.

Microsoft says “comments and opinions” from Minecraft creator Markus Persson, better known as Notch, have led the company to exclude him from an upcoming event celebrating the game’s 10th anniversary. Microsoft told Variety, “His comments and opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are not representative of Minecraft.”
As Microsoft has worked to make Minecraft into a universal, family-friendly game, Persson has been something of a thorn in its side.

Walmart is reportedly planning to bring at least six new original programs to its Vudu platform in the next year. A report from Bloomberg claims that the lineup will be comprised of family-friendly content, including a reboot of the 1983 film Mr. Mom that’s set for a June 2019 debut.

New content will give people a reason to check out Vudu, luring in more users who will hopefully buy or rent some movies in the future. The report doesn’t state whether its new slate of content will be available for free, but it does suggest…
On Monday, Facebook announced a new set of research projects that will look into social media’s impact on democracy. The projects will give more than 60 academics access to “privacy-protected Facebook data” to help conduct research into a range of topics, including the impact of IRA-trolling on Germany’s 2017 election and the spread of fake news during the Chilean elections in the same year.
Facebook will provide the researchers with data from the platform’s APIs for CrowdTangle, its Ad Library, and, eventually, an anonymized URL dataset. Researchers around the world competed for the grants, although Facebook was not involved in determining which projects were approved. The company has also pledged not to interfere in the research going…
