Starting May 31st, 2026, the Microsoft-owned SwiftKey will stop supporting Google and Apple accounts, according to Windows Central. Though you don’t need an account to use SwiftKey on its own, you’ll need to sign in with Microsoft to continue syncing your most-used words across devices and receive personalized typing suggestions.

On Monday, MotionVFX announced on its website that it’s “joining the Apple team.” MotionVFX is the developer behind a suite of tools for Apple-owned Final Cut Pro, including several AI features like AI upscaling and captions. The suite is currently still available as a monthly subscription catered toward creators, similar to Apple’s Creator Studio subscription.

I love tools that let you make music based on a simple set of rules. Tim Holman created this one based on a YouTube video in which notes are triggered by a simple binary counter. Now if only I could get this out of Chrome and into my DAW.

This spring, Peacock is bringing a new Jeopardy! game to its mobile app. It will feature daily trivia rounds straight from the Jeopardy! team, along with shareable scores and streak challenges.

Epic and Google are settling, but the US version of the plan still rests in Judge Donato’s hands. He’s asking for “friend of the court” briefs in early April, meaning it’ll be longer before he makes a decision.

After moving to restrict access to the messaging app earlier this month, Russia has also now opened a criminal investigation into its founder and CEO, Reuters reports. Durov responded in a post on X on Tuesday, saying:

After debuting exclusively in Japan last August, the Hello, Mario! app is now available for the Switch 1 and 2, as well as iOS, iPadOS, and Android mobile devices. You can poke and tug on Mario’s face and select objects for him to interact with, but the app’s appeal is mostly limited to kids.

A partial YouTube outage knocked out access to Google’s video service on Tuesday night.

You’ve been able to add them via desktop for decades, and even iPhone users had the option, but finally Android is catching up. You still can’t customize the colors from your phone, but maybe we’ll get that in another ten years or so.

There are plenty of good reasons to have your doubts about Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, but he’s right — if understandably self-serving — in criticizing Russia’s “authoritarian” restrictions on both Telegram and WhatsApp.

Durov responded to slowdowns and other issues users in Russia are experiencing in a post on X, saying, “This authoritarian move won’t change our course. Telegram stands for freedom and privacy, no matter the pressure.”
