3nder, a dating app for threesomes, looks to sock it to rival Tinder

Has Tinder gotten too vanilla for your spicy dating life? Tired of going on dates with just one person at a time? There may be a solution, but you’ll have to act fast before it’s forced out of the dating game altogether. Meet 3nder — pronounced Thrinder — the app that lets you bring a third person into your digital relationship.

The app itself is more than two years old, but it’s been flying under the radar for much of its existence. In fact, it still has yet to release an Android version, which means that only iPhone users have had the option of swiping right on a threesome for the last couple years. But alas, it seems that soon it won’t matter whether you’re an iOS user or not — 3nder says that Tinder has demanded that the spinoff app “cease operations.”

But don’t worry — 3nder isn’t going down without a fight. The risque application has insisted upon “highlighting their significant differences,” including its mission, user base, and “emphasis on beautiful user experiences.”

“Our mission and our values could not be more distinct from those of Tinder,” said 3nder founder Dimo Trifonov. “We have and always will put ethics and aesthetics first. Our members seek something else entirely when they come to us — to explore their sexual curiosity and date in an open-minded space. With so many sexualities and relationship structures left out of Tinder and the Match Group offerings, there is room for all of us. No one should have a monopoly on love.”

In response to Tinder’s alleged requests, 3nder is goading its users to ship dirty socks to Tinder’s Hollywood headquarters. Because that’ll help its case.

The app says three million messages are sent through its platform on a monthly basis, and it boasts 500,000 registered users. Another 70,000 users, the company claims, eagerly await the Android release.

New 9800X3D leak: ‘Strong generational boost in games’ is just 8%
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D held between fingertips.

AMD's best processor for gaming is right around the corner. Through various leaked benchmarks, we've already learned that it might disappoint, and today's leak only serves to confirm that. According to leaked AMD data, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D may offer a subtle improvement in gaming -- although it'll still be better than what most of the Zen 5 lineup has been able to provide.

VideoCardz was able to obtain what appears to be an official marketing description of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The blurb reveals things like the predicted improvement in instructions per cycle (IPC), gaming, and multi-threaded workloads. It looks like the real deal, but as with any other leak, it's important to remember that we'll only learn the full story once we test the CPU ourselves.

AMD confirms 9000X3D release date — but questions remain
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D installed in a motherboard.

AMD just made a surprise announcement regarding its upcoming processors, but it leaves us with two major questions: What's coming, and how much will it cost? The release date was announced to be November 7, but we're unsure which chips are coming on that date. While details are very scarce, the first listings of the CPU emerged, giving us an idea of the kind of pricing we could expect. We're also seeing more and more benchmarks of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

We knew this was coming, but AMD still surprised us. Various reports claimed that AMD would unveil the Ryzen 7 9800X3D on October 25, meaning one day after Intel launches Core Ultra 200-S processors. However, AMD broke the news today (as spotted by Tom's Hardware), but the announcement is more vague than ever. It's unclear which CPUs are coming in particular, as AMD hasn't specified which X3D model will hit the shelves on November 7. The company may still say more on the matter on October 25.

There’s a big problem with the Google Pixel Watch 3

A smartwatch that costs a minimum of $349 should last at least a couple of generations. It should not die out of nowhere in just over a year. Or have its back plate fall off. Yes, accidents are inevitable, and for those mechanical human errors, users should at least have the opportunity to get their watches fixed.

Of course, smartwatches are fragile, and repairs are expensive across the board. But they’re still an option, and with insurance or protection plans, they may or may not destroy your wallet. Of course, they’re also notoriously difficult to repair, given the complexity of fitting a ton of components, including biosensing assemblies, into a cramped space.
