Raspberry Pi now offers its own SSDs.

After debuting branded microSD cards a few weeks ago, the company has followed up with NVMe SSDs in the smaller M.2 2230 format. They’re available in 256GB and 512GB capacities for $30 and $45, respectively. But since you’ll need an M.2 HAT+ to use them with a Pi microcomputer, the SSDs can also be purchased with that adapter for an extra $10.

MrBeast is again attaching his name to disgusting food.

Last year the YouTuber sued his business partner in charge of MrBeast Burgers, after customers complained about “inedible” and “revolting” food. Undeterred, this year MrBeast partnered with Logan Paul and KSI to launch Lunchly, a line of Lunchables-style snack boxes — that are apparently full of mold. If your kid asks for them maybe show them these pictures.

Zoom has launched its upgraded AI assistant.

Zoom says its AI Companion 2.0 is better at summarizing and synthesizing information across Zoom Workplace and connected third-party apps, allowing it to provide more relevant answers about your meetings and documents.

The upgraded assistant can offer suggestions by “understanding” what users see on Zoom and “remembering” previous interactions. As part of its AI upgrade, Zoom is also planning to launch AI avatars next year.

Tesla is moving on its solar-powered Supercharger ambitions.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has long promised off-the-grid Superchargers powered by the sun. Now, the company has broken ground on “Oasis,” a new, 168-stall Supercharger station in Lost Hills, California, says Tesla’s North American director of charging, Max de Zegher:

Only 1.5 MW grid service, ahead of a future expansion

11 MW of ground mount solar & canopies, on 30 acres of land

10 @Tesla_Megapack with 39 MWh of storage

The site, he says, will open “by mid-2025.”

Ubisoft ends future development on its best game in years.

French outlet Origami released a video explaining that, despite its extremely positive critical reception, Ubisoft has disbanded the team responsible for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Origami reports that the game’s developers campaigned to make more content beyond its singular DLC but were denied by executives who said that their efforts were needed elsewhere like on that “still totally coming, we promise” game Beyond Good and Evil 2.

You may start seeing a new TikTok feed in your app.

The company is adding a STEM feed for all US, Great Britain, and Ireland-based users that surfaces technology and science content. The feed itself isn’t new, but now it will be enabled by default.

An educational feed could be a way for TikTok to push back against a potential ban in the US and lawsuits that say the app is dangerous to kids.
