Digg is back again — again.

Less than two months after shutting down its open beta relaunch and downsizing its team, Digg has launched a new version at di.gg. This updated version of the platform, instead of functioning similar to Reddit, is more like an online sentiment tracker. Right now, it’s focused only on tracking AI news, but “it’s going to be all the things,” according to Kevin Rose.

Cadillac crosses the 100,000 EV mark.

While some automakers are pulling back on EVs, others are embracing them. Four years after the launch of the Cadillac Lyriq, the GM-owned brand is selling more EVs than ever. In addition to the Lyriq, there’s also the Optiq, Vistiq, and Escalade IQ. (And don’t forget the bespoke $360,000 Celestiq.) Moreover, three-quarters of customers buying new EVs are conquests from other brands, particularly Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, and BMW.

A musical Star Fox journey.

If you, like me, played countless hours of Star Fox 64 growing up, then I think you’ll very much enjoy the 10 tracks from the upcoming Switch 2 remake’s soundtrack that Nintendo added to its music app. They’re so dang good.

Nintendo also uploaded the game’s prologue, which was shown in this week’s announcement direct, as a separate video.
