Huawei’s in-house HarmonyOS leaves Android apps behind.

HarmonyOS Next can only run apps specifically developed for it, the company announced today as it released a developer preview ahead of its Q4 release, South China Morning Post reports. It’s a big shift for HarmonyOS, which has maintained some level of compatibility with Android software since its launch in 2019 even as US sanctions prevented Huawei from using Google’s full-fat Android.

The newest Mission: Impossible — starring a villainous AI — is coming to Paramount Plus.

You can stream Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning starting January 25th. The movie’s evil AI was ridiculous, I loved it. (Make sure to stick around to the end of the credits to hear its silly noise!)

Also, Paramount dropped the “Part One” from the film’s original title. The former part two was recently pushed back from a June 2024 to a May 23rd, 2025 release date.

GTA Online will no longer support Rockstar Editor on old-gen consoles.

With GTA VI expected to launch in 2025, it’s time to back up all your old car chase vids. Rockstar Editor on GTA Online will no longer support PlayStation 4 and Xbox One beginning on February 24, Rockstar Games announced. The clip editor will still exist for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

Any existing clips will vanish by then, so players should make sure to export their work in the meantime.
