A high-profile copyright lawsuit between two rival lifestyle and shopping influencers could have changed the creator industry.
Google’s AI Overviews told Wired (and me, when I tried) that no, it is not 2025.
A Google spokesperson said to Wired that the company is “actively working on an update to address this type of issue.”
Ben Stiller tells Variety that there are “two specific ideas” that the Severance team has “talked about internally as possible spinoff ideas.” He says “they are nascent.”
Stiller also says it would be great to “have a Severance video game.” I’m not exactly sure how that would work?
One of the Switch’s biggest hits saw Nintendo slowly pushing into live-service games.
The grand opening is tomorrow at 10AM PT, but you can already go shop — I even got a special look inside its GPU-filled stockroom! There’s a buttload of cards, including an RTX 5090 signed by Jensen (not for sale), plenty of AMD 9070, and it’ll have “very limited quantities” of Founders Edition (including the 5090 FE) tomorrow. Maybe open the boxes before you leave, though.
The highlight for me: a 12-foot-tall motorized revolving 3D filament wall which dispenses your color of choice.
The first big reveal of EA’s relaunched college football game mentions that this year players can expect to hear more than just “Mo Bamba” and a few other tracks when facing key downs on the road, with new PA tracks, mascots, band music, and school-specific chants.
Other details include cross-platform online Dynasty play, and more than 300 real-world coaches so you can outcoach a photo-realistic version of the leader of your favorite school’s rival.
As reported by The Information and Axios reporter Sara Fischer, CEO Barbara Peng emailed staff on Thursday announcing Business Insider is “scaling back on categories that once performed well on other platforms” and mostly exiting its search-reliant Commerce business in an apparent acknowledgement of Google Zero, despite Sundar Pichai’s rebuttals.
Now it’s shrinking, noting “70 percent of our business has some degree of traffic sensitivity,” while going all-in on AI with a push to use Enterprise ChatGPT, gen-AI site search, an AI paywall, and other products.

The head of Google discusses the next AI platform shift and how it could change how we use the internet forever.
Mechanism has teased its first Switch 2 accessory coming this summer. The company, which made its name with the Deckmate accessory ecosystem for Steam Deck and other handhelds, has unveiled the Basegrip Plus case.
It works with its vast ecosystem of platform-agnostic attachments, but contains swappable parts that only work on the Basegrip Plus, from rear plates to bigger Joy-Con 2 grips. Some of them will be available as free 3D files, if you want to print them out yourself.
It won’t move to production until it verifies that the Switch 2 actually fits in it, a cautious mindset that I respect (one that many accessory companies aren’t bothering with). One thing to note is that the case won’t fit in the dock at launch, but Mechanism plans to create an adapter.
A federal appeals court has temporarily paused the Court of International Trade’s ruling yesterday that blocked the tariffs, CNBC reports.
In 2021, Lego collaborated with Adidas for a brick-built version of the brand’s iconic Superstar sneaker. This year the company has partnered with Nike for a 1,180-piece buildable replica of its Dunk sneaker that includes hidden storage, swappable lace colors, an exclusive minifigure, and a display stand featuring a spinning basketball.
The set is available for preorder starting today for $99.99, and expected to ship starting on July 1st, 2025.
Following updates to the Nintendo Switch App and the Nintendo Today app, the Nintendo Music app has also been updated and now features a new sleep timer for those wanting to drift off to their favorite soundtrack.
A small crescent moon icon appearing in the lower right corner of the app’s interface while playing a track or playlist can be tapped to open a menu with timer options ranging from 5 minutes to 60 minutes.
Mark Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey have buried the hatchet after Zuckerberg fired Luckey in 2017, so they can build virtual and augmented reality gear for the military. Oculus made, of course, the most successful VR headset and was also a tremendous flop for Meta. Anyway, here’s the WSJ story about their new team-up. Time and money heal all wounds, I guess?
Khalil, a Columbia student, was arrested by ICE in March over his involvement in pro-Palestine activism despite being a permanent resident. Citing a Cold War-era law, administration officials claimed Khalil’s presence in the country is detrimental to the US’s foreign policy interest.
In a 106-page ruling, judge Michael Farbiarz said the State Department never explained whether Khalil’s activism “affected US relations with any other country,” making the deportation effort “unconstitutionally vague.” For now, Khalil remains detained in Louisiana.

In addition to better ANC and the return to a folding design, Sony quietly improved access to the battery in its recently-launched WH-1000XM6 wireless headphones.
During a teardown iFixit discovered the battery is now held in place by two screws instead of double-sided tape like Sony used on previous models, making it relatively easy to access and replace if you’re comfortable disassembling a $450 pair of headphones.
The tools, including Razer Game Assistant and Razer QA Companion, which are part of its Wyvrn platform, are going to launch on the AWS Marketplace, according to an announcement.
2024 holds the current record, beating 2023. Now, there’s an 80 percent chance that at least one of the next five years will take the title, according to a recent forecast from the World Meteorological Organization.
Unless countries can transition to carbon pollution-free energy like wind and solar power, greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels will keep on heating up our planet.
While the next big Pokémon game won’t be releasing until later this year, Nintendo’s Japanese site says that we can expect to see Scarlet and Violet getting their long-awaited patches that will improve the games’ frame rates, visuals, and draw distances on June 5 just in time for the Switch 2’s big debut.
Following Bloomberg’s report that Apple plans to name the next versions of its operating systems based on years, Apple Insider is reporting that macOS 26 may drop support for several older Intel-based Macs, according to people familiar with the matter.
Unsupported Macs will potentially include the 2018 MacBook Pro, the 2017 iMac Pro, the 2018 Mac mini, and the 2020 Intel-based MacBook Air, which are currently the oldest models currently supported by macOS Sequoia.

The Wall Street Journal reports that, while Paramount offered to pay Donald Trump $15 million to make him drop his lawsuit against CBS News over the way a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris was edited, the sitting president wants upwards of $25 million and a public apology from the news organization.
The subtext here is obviously “grovel and supplicate if you want that Skydance merger to go through.”
At least, that’s the case if you have a Valve Steam Deck or another Linux handheld, like the new SteamOS version of the Lenovo Legion Go S. Nvidia just launched its native GeForce Now app, and many of us here at The Verge have already put it to the test, attempting to perform countless parries in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, lining up headshots in Splitgate 2, and other timing-based feats to test how it performs.
The verdict? Surprisingly great, both in terms of performance and battery efficiency, but with oh-so-many asterisks.
The Chinese AI model that shook up the industry as a more cost-efficient alternative to the ones from OpenAI, Google, and Meta, now has a new update dubbed DeepSeek-R1-0528.
DeepSeek says its latest model has a reduced “hallucination” rate, and that it “has significantly improved its depth of reasoning and inference capabilities by leveraging increased computational resources and introducing algorithmic optimization mechanisms during post-training...overall performance is now approaching that of leading models, such as O3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.”
