OnePlus says a fix is coming for ‘phantom touch’ and other screen issues on the OnePlus 7 Pro

OnePlus has released a statement on the “phantom touch” issues that have been reported on the OnePlus 7 Pro, claiming that it plans to release an update in the coming weeks to resolve the problem. The specific problem happens when the screen registers input when it hasn’t been touched, causing the phone to appear as if it’s being controlled by someone other than you. The issue has mostly occurred when using the CPU-Z app, though some reports have seen it happen elsewhere in the system. Turning off the phone’s NFC radio appears to be a temporary, if less than ideal, fix until OnePlus officially patches it.

In addition, OnePlus says it is aware of “limited reports” of other touchscreen issues, including a lack of touch response at the…

Arnold Schwarzenegger Just Dropped a Rap Video Called ‘Pump It Up’ And It’s So Bad It’s Good

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Seven-time Mr. Olympia, action movie icon, former Governor of California, and now…rapper? 

Seriously. The Terminator: Dark Fate actor has inexplicably teamed up with Austrian singer Andreas Gabalier to co-write and perform “Pump It Up (The Motivation Song).” 

The duo even made a music video, which has already racked up nearly 1.3 million views on YouTube in less than two weeks. 

Never mind that the beat sounds like it was composed by a bad Christian rock band or that some of the lyrics are a little questionable (Ah-nuld tries to rhyme “fail” with “gain”)—we challenge anyone not to feel the urge to bang out some reps or run up a hill after listening to Schwarzenegger’s verse:   

Hey, I’m Arnold Schwarzenegger and listen carefully/ Dig deep down and ask yourself, who do you want to be/ Not what, but who – if you believe success will come to you/ Work like hell, trust yourself, and all your dreams come true.”

Other lines reference Schwarzenegger movie staples like Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator right up until the song’s final phrase: “I’ll be back.” 

“Break some rules, knock the wall, don’t be afraid to fail/ You have to think outside the box, I say no pain no gain/ I don’t want to hear it cannot be done, always give something back/ My name is Arnold Schwarzenegger and I’ll be back.”

The video itself plays like a jokey Saturday Night Live sketch. Clips of Schwarzenegger in his bodybuilding prime are spliced in between inspirational b-roll of California beaches and shots of both performers pumping iron at Venice Beach’s Gold’s Gym and recording in the studio. 

Many of the video’s comments are written in German, but one English-speaking viewer hit the nail on the head in describing how we all feel about “Pump It Up.” 

“This is so bad that it’s actually good. Can’t wait to play this in people’s cars when they tell me to put on some music.”

If you agree, feel free to buy the single from Universal

And in case you missed it, see Schwarzenegger reprise his role as a time-traveling cyborg in the latest trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate below: 

Tony Soprano’s New Jersey Home Hits The Market For $3.4 Million

Tony Soprano’s New Jersey home from The Sopranos is currently for sale, and the starting price kicks off at $3.4 million, according to the New York Times.

The iconic 1.5 acre, 5,600 square foot property is located in North Caldwell, N.J., and has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a powder room, a separate guesthouse, and two garages that can each fit two cars, plus probably a bunch of bodies, if you decided to follow in the fictional mob boss’s line of work.

The owners, Patti and Victor Recchia, have been living in the house since it was built in 1987 by their construction company, Fourth Generation Construction, and have put it up for sale 20 years after the classic HBO show premiered.

Other houses in the area are apparently selling for between $1.5 million and $2.2 million, so the starting price of $3.4 million seems a little high — but in all fairness this is Tony Soprano’s house. 

Beware, though: Property taxes are an eye-watering $34,005 a year. Ouch.

The show was filmed at the house as many as 50 times, including this pool scene:
