We finally have a release day for HBO's adaptation of the video game franchise The Last of Us. It's coming to HBO Max on January 15. In Canada, Bell's Crave service will stream the series on day one. The show tells the story of Joel and Ellie, two people living in a world devastated by the outbreak of a deadly fungus that mutates the infected into terrifying monsters. 

The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) as Joel and Ellie. Merle Dandridge reprises her role as Marlene and Nick Offerman will be the survivalist Bill. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who plays Joel and Ellie from the games, also star in the show but in unannounced roles.

Samsung's Odyssey Neo G9 will be 'first' 8K ultrawide gaming display

With the launch of AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GPUs, Samsung wants to arm you with a gaming display that can support 8K video. The company has teased that its next-generation version of the Odyssey Neo G9 will be the first 8K ultrawide gaming monitor. We're expected to see the full launch at CES in January. But this monitor requires a DisplayPort 2.1-capable video to get the most out of it. According to AMD, the 8K is "horizontal only" so you may not get as many vertical pixels as you want.

As for content, AMD has said some games will run on its card with the help of upscaling, including Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Death Stranding, Modern Warfare 2, and Uncharted, but we don't know how well native 8K will perform just yet.

Apple reportedly freezes hiring except for R&D

Apple has reportedly paused hiring across its department except for research & development to help reduce its budget. The company is said to be looking for ways to cut spending as it anticipates a slow holiday period. The freeze won't affect teams working on future devices or long-term projects. But it will affect corporate functions and standard hardware and software roles. Apple will also still hire in some departments if the circumstances require it.
