Does your Lego Tallneck need some friends?

If so, you’ll be able to add a Lego Shell-Walker and Sawtooth to your collection next March thanks to a new Horizon-themed Lego set that you can preorder now. Varl is getting a minifig, too.

And if you want more Lego and Horizon while you wait, the new Lego Horizon Adventures game is out now.

Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw has the details:

Apple is focused on licensing its movies to other companies, such as foreign TV networks and stores, where viewers can rent or buy them, according to a person familiar with the plans. The company isn’t planning to license its original TV shows to third parties. (At least not yet.)

Sony is announcing its new flagship camera tomorrow.

It looks like the Sony A1 II is coming soon, as Sony has posted a livestream for November 19th at 9AM ET.

There may also be a new super fast 28-70mm f/2 lens announced along with it.

The original A1 of 2021 is an excellent camera for pros, though Nikon and Canon have since played catchup with the Z9 and R1.

Tesla’s now selling a seven-inch version of its humanoid robot.

Tesla’s Optimus robot is now available through the company’s online store, but in a version that’s even less capable than the ones at its recent Cybercab reveal. The $40, 1:10-scale Tesla Bot Action Figure stands 7.16 inches tall and is assembled from over 40 parts offering 20 points of articulation. It includes a tiny matching charging stand and a CyberHammer.

Two Tesla Bot action figures, one sitting and one standing, posed next to each other.

Meta starts bringing some AI features to EU Ray-Bans.

Owners of the smart glasses in France, Italy, Ireland, and Spain will get Meta AI features starting today, the company announced.

For now, Meta AI can answer general questions, but it won’t get multimodal features like using the Ray-Bans’ camera to tell you about things you see — the company has called the EU regulatory environment too “unpredictable” to do that right now.

Spirit Airlines, bankrupt.

The struggling budget carrier filed for Chapter 11 protection on Monday, almost a year since a federal judge blocked a merger with JetBlue. In a letter to passengers, Spirit says it’ll continue to “book and fly into the future” and customers can “use all tickets, credits and loyalty points as normal.”
