    Apple’s FineWoven cases got a “frequently returned” label on Amazon.

    Amazon has applied the labels to the $59 FineWoven cases for the iPhone 15, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max, and prompts users to “check the product details and customer reviews” before buying.

    My colleague Allison Johnson pointed out just how bad the scratch-prone FineWoven cases are last year, and The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern recently wrote about how worn out her FineWoven case has gotten.

    Reddit will reportedly seek an up to $6.5 billion valuation when it goes public.

    That’s according to The Wall Street Journal, which says Reddit could shoot for a price range between $31 to $34 per share when launching its IPO. The $6.5 billion number is significantly lower than the more than $10 billion Reddit was valued at in 2021 following a round of funding.

    Fubo CEO calls the company’s sports streaming legal battle “a duel to the death.”

    Fubo sued Warner Bros. Discovery, ESPN, and Fox last month over their planned live sports streaming service. Here’s what Fubo CEO David Gandler had to say about the lawsuit during a conference call:

    This is a duel to the death. It has been when we started this company. We’re fighting for consumers. We’re fighting for our customers. We’re fighting for the tens of billions of dollars that are wasted annually on consumers paying for the same content multiple times. This is a very important process. We are sticking to our principles, to our guns. We are continuing to walk and chew gum at the same time, as you see in our numbers.

    Leap day broke EA Sports WRC.

    The game started crashing for players on Xbox and PlayStation shortly after launch — and it’s all because today’s February 29th. EA is now telling players to change the date on their consoles to tomorrow, March 1st, 2024 to get the game working again.

    Spotify’s built-in “psychic” will help you answer life’s toughest questions —

    like whether your outfit matches. You can try out the new Song Psychic feature by heading to spotify.com/songpsychic on your phone and picking from a range of premade questions. The app will then attempt to answer your question with a song.

    When I asked what I should have for lunch, I got “Slime” by Shygirl. Thanks, Spotify.
