Strava will predict your race times.
The feature is part of “Performance Predictions,” a feature for subscribers that uses a “machine learning model” to give you estimated finish times for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon races, Strava says.

More Googlers are being pushed to return to the office three days a week.
Several units within Google have told remote staffers that their roles may be at risk if they don’t start showing up at the closest office for a hybrid work schedule, according to internal documents viewed by CNBC. Some of those employees were previously approved for remote work.
Google brought back many employees to the office three days per week in 2022.

Don’t worry: Best Buy’s Switch 2 preorders aren’t only for in-store pickup.
A push notification I got kind of reads like Best Buy’s Switch 2 preorders are only for in-store pickup. Language on Best Buy’s website when I first wrote this post could also be read that way.
But Best Buy’s Julia Benda tells me that “shipping and pickup will both be available for preorders.” And Best Buy’s website now says you can choose in-store pickup or “shipping for delivery at a later date.”
Preorders start at 12AM ET.
Update: Best Buy clarified its website.
