The gadget giveaway pile is shrinking — should I restock it?

Would you believe I’ve only got 14 more prize packs to give away? Not 14 prizes, 14 packs, but I started with 31 so we’re more than halfway there. Thing is, I’ve got more items I’ll need to giveaway or drop at charity thrift because The Verge doesn’t keep the gadgets we test. You can enter our giveaway each week — so long as you do before each deadline of 9AM ET Wednesday. Tell a friend!

An AO3 disaster.

Fanworks hub Archive of Our Own is no stranger to downtime, but an as-yet-unexplained outage of potentially up to a month — announced on the site’s status page — is going to send a lot of fanfic writers scrambling: > We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. If that does happen, there may be times when the site has to be brought down temporarily until this is fully resolved. Please stay tuned for further info.

Indie hit Celeste was delisted on Xbox to “support the BDS boycott.”

That’s according to developer Maddy Thorson, who also said that TowerFall had been removed as well. Earlier this month, Big Walk developers House House said that the game skipped Xbox to support the BDS movement.
