[The Morning After]( Now available on your smart speaker and wherever you get your podcasts [Apple Podcasts]( | [Spotify]( | [Google Play]( | [iHeart Radio]( It's Thursday, September 01, 2022. If you ever want a reminder of how hard it is to run a financial institution, check out this unfortunate error made by Crypto.com. It [accidentally refunded one of its customers around $7.2 million]( rather than the $68 she was expecting. Even worse, the company didn’t discover the expensive snafu until nearly seven months after the transfer. Given the basic tenets of crypto-libertarianism and its philosophical resentment of institutions, you might have expected the site to just write-off the loss. But the platform has instead gone to the courts to get the cash back, forcing the woman to return it, with interest. – Daniel Cooper The biggest stories you might have missed - [Microsoft found a severe one-click exploit in TikTok’s Android app]( - [Sony and Tencent now own almost a third of ‘Elden Ring’ studio FromSoftware]( - [LG's OLED Flex is a flat panel and a curved display in one]( - [Samsung’s first QD-OLED gaming monitor arrives later this year]( - [Starlink will deploy satellite broadband on Royal Caribbean cruise liners]( - [Apple releases rare iOS 12 update to address security flaw on older iPhones and iPads]( - [Chinese tech giant NetEase is buying Quantic Dream as its first European game studio]( ['The Last of Us Part I' is a gorgeous, faithful, expensive remake]( It’s the same game, but far better looking. [[Image of the remade version of The Last of Us Part One for PS5.] Naughty Dog]( If there’s one sign The Last of Us is already in the pantheon of greatest games ever made, it’s the fact it’s already leapt across two console generations. The title is just nine years old, yet it’s already on its second remaster, this time a ground-up remake for the PlayStation 5. Our resident TLoU fan Nathan Ingraham got to play [the new edition before launch]( and says it’s the same game, spared from much of the tinkering that has plagued some remakes we could mention. Instead, developers have taken the original and dramatically improved the visuals, including the performance and facial animation to make the story hit harder than it did before.

[[Image of the Zenbook Fold] ASUS]( ASUS’ Zenbook 17 Fold is an all-screen foldable tablet PC borne out of the company’s Project Precog prototype. It was announced at CES, all the way back in January, but it’s only now the company has [announced a price for this groundbreaking machine](. $3,500 is the starting price for one of these beasts when they roll out towards the end of the year.

Snap has announced a savage round of job losses and project cancellations as part of a major cost-cutting drive. The company behind Snapchat will [lay off 20 percent of its workforce]( around 1,300 people, and cancel almost all of its original content projects. Standalone apps like Zenly and Voisey close, and development work on its lackluster, if cute, Pixy selfie drone will stop. Snap hopes it can save around $500 million as a result, although losing so many reasons to stick around might cause users to desert the platform as well.
