Creators like MKBHD, Logan Paul, Kai Cenat, Pokimane, and Valkyrae will vie for $1,000,000, according to MrBeast. He says the video will go live on Saturday.

In June, MrBeast posted a group photo featuring the creators in the competition — there are a lot more that I didn’t name here!

The Shrek franchise has been pretty Puss in Boots-oriented for over a decade now, but in 2026, Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona will be back in theaters at the center of a new DreamWorks movie.

According to reports from beta testers, the new InSight feature announced at WWDC has appeared in the latest developer beta of iOS 18 and tvOS 18.

InSight pops up details about actors, characters, and songs appearing onscreen in original Apple TV Plus shows. These also show on your iPhone, from where it appears to be easy to add songs to your library. Neat.

The Ariane 6 vehicle was supposed to begin service in 2020, but then... some things happened.

At about 3PM ET, it finally took off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana and successfully reignited its Vinci engine in orbit, beginning the journey’s second of three planned stages that you can continue to follow live.

I’m now convinced of that after adding one using the free Dock Pro app. Now, some of the Vision Pro apps I use most (along with time and battery percentage) are just right there, waiting. Adding third-party apps is tricky and involves finding app URL schemes, though.

Don’t get me wrong; I like the hand flourish to open apps in the visionOS 2 beta. But sometimes, a dock is just better.

The funding is part of the $52 billion made available through the CHIPS Act. It’s meant to help bolster domestic semiconductor packaging — one of the final steps in the chip-making process that’s typically done in factories outside the US.

That’s the maximum EV charge allowed under Electrify America’s new pilot aimed at reducing long wait times at some charging stations. Once an EV reaches 85 percent, the charging session will automatically end and the EV owner will have to unplug. The pilot will kick off at 10 Electrify America stations in California where congestion — defined as the number of EVs waiting to charge — has been the most pronounced.

German law enforcement seized over 50,000 bitcoin (worth over $2 billion at the time) while busting a movie piracy site earlier this year. Now the government is liquidating so much crypto at such a fast pace that the price of bitcoin is dropping in response.

It’s not helping that Germany’s sell-off coincides with repayments to creditors (in crypto) by the Mt. Gox bankruptcy estate.

According to The Information, VC firm Andreessen Horowitz has secured thousands of AI chips, including Nvidia H100 GPUs, to dole out to its AI portfolio companies in exchange for equity. The initiative is aptly named Oxygen, because these chips are that integral to AI companies. The chips are almost impossible to secure for small startups too, because Big Tech companies hoover up all the supply.

Current and former Tesla employees told Business Insider that the images and videos from Musk’s Teslas have “received meticulous scrutiny,” allowing the automaker to tweak its software to address hiccups on certain routes. The company similarly prioritizes driving data from Tesla influencers, Business Insider reports:

The result is that Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD software may better navigate routes taken by Musk and other high-profile drivers, making their rides smoother and more straightforward.

That didn’t pan out, but if you’re curious what it could have looked like, AppleInsider published some pictures of a purported prototype iPhone 15 Pro Max with haptic buttons for the volume rocker and the power button. The report also includes some details on how the buttons might have worked.

Misleading claims about Tesla’s alleged autonomous vehicle development are a dime-a-dozen, but this quote in the Wall Street Journal about China’s AV program was enough to exasperate ex-Waymo CEO John Krafcik.

Just to be clear: Waymo operates fully driverless vehicles, while Tesla’s Full Self-Driving requires a human driver behind the wheel.

Airbnb reportedly testified in court that many of the 35,000 surveillance complaint tickets it received over a decade could be related to innocent things like hosts’ malfunctioning doorbell cameras.

Though it finally banned indoor cameras this year, it has a history of quashing guests’ reports of hidden cameras in rental homes, CNN reports.

Airbnb seeks to compel complainants into arbitration ... When a settlement is reached, Airbnb has required users to sign confidentiality agreements, which bar them from discussing details of the deal.

Nomad has a new $100 wall charger that, in addition to offering a pair of table-stakes USB-C ports, can also fast-charge newer Apple Watch models.

Yes, that’s right. You slap your watch on top of the 65W plug to charge. Hope your outlets are easy to reach, I guess?

It’s been five years since Google Maps rolled out the feature on Android, and now it’s finally available to iPhone users, as spotted by TechCrunch. The feature lets you see how fast you’re going compared to the road’s speed limit.
