    Google may soon face charges from the EU.

    Reuters reports that the European Commission is planning to charge Google with breaching the Digital Markets Act. Google has already made some changes to attempt to address concerns, but it appears the changes may not have been enough for the Commission.

    Trump shed some light on his meeting with Tim Cook.

    Cook visited President Trump yesterday, and speaking to governors at the White House, Trump seemed to say that Cook told him that Apple is “investing hundreds of billions of dollars,” as transcribed by CBS News’ Jennifer Jacobs. I’m guessing Trump is referring to some kind of investments Apple is making in the US.

    I’ve pinged Apple for comment. You can listen to Trump’s comments in context in this video.

    LG’s monitors will be Xboxes, too.

    LG is expanding its Gaming Portal from smart TVs to “additional markets, platforms and devices — including LG Smart Monitors and StanbyME lifestyle screens,” according to a press release. The service will come to those new platforms “by the second quarter of this year.”

    The Gaming Portal lets you access services like Nvidia’s GeForce Now, Amazon Luna, and, soon, Xbox Cloud Gaming.

    See you at the Warehouse.

    A new sign in Black Ops 6 is very heavily hinting toward a March announcement of the rumored Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 remaster. Microsoft-owned Activision owns both the Call of Duty and THPS franchises, so the cross-promotion makes some sense. The THPS and Xbox X accounts are being coy, too.

    The biggest clue? The date on the sign is 03.04.25.

    Meta has opened waitlists for community notes.

    As spotted by Engadget, Meta’s community notes website has links to sign up for waitlists for Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Meta plans to phase in community notes “over the next few months,” according to the website.

    Meta also shared some images on Threads showing how writing community notes will look, and I’ve added those to the below gallery.

    Update: Added images from Meta’s Threads post.
