When I wrote about the game’s long-delayed release date last week, the press materials didn’t list a Switch version, which was odd given that the game was set to come to Switch when it was originally announced. But Nintendo just showed the game at its Indie World presentation, which means the Switch version is back on.
Threads DMs seemed like a possibility after Jorge Caballero, who posts a lot about Threads features and updates as @datadrivenmd, shared a screenshot that seemed to show that some sort of DM setting was added to the app. But Instagram boss Adam Mosseri said Caballero is “likely” seeing that setting because of the way Threads is built on top of Instagram. “We’re not building DMs into Threads,” Mosseri said.
While disappointing, this isn’t exactly a new position; when Threads launched in July, Mosseri told my colleague Alex Heath that “to start, we don’t want to do any DMs.”
Reddit recently introduced some changes to its interface when you’re logged out on mobile web and desktop, and now it’s starting to let a “small number” of users use it when logged in, according to a post detailing some Reddit feature updates on Monday. Reddit is also letting non-mods apply to try the updated experience.
For what it’s worth, I actually like the updated UI quite a bit.
In the video, Humane’s AI Pin confidently lied about the best places to watch April’s upcoming total solar eclipse, but Humane staffer (and Verge alum) Sam Sheffer said in Humane’s Discord that this was a bug that’s since been resolved. Sheffer says Humane will be updating the video on its website, but as of this writing, the wrong eclipse information is still in it.
The device also misstated the amount of protein in a handful of almonds. Sheffer says the pin was spelling out the amount of protein for a half cup of almonds, which was the “correct and current” behavior. However, he says the behavior will “improve over time.” The video on Humane’s website has a footnote that says “protein amount estimated” — I’m not sure if this was there originally.
Denise Dresser, who has worked at Slack owner Salesforce for more than 12 years, is taking over for Lidiane Jones, who is leaving to become CEO of Bumble.
Sure, it’s annoying that the disc drive needs an internet connection to be set up, but if you need to swap in a new one for whatever reason, you can just drop it in the console and register it with the online handshake, as shown in this video from YouTuber Mystic.

They’re apparently in the works, as shown in this screenshot on X shared by app feature-finder Alessandro Paluzzi. In the screenshot, it appears that the word “Threads” is hyperlinked, so maybe you’ll link to individual words or phrases instead of dropping a #hashtag in your post.
Paluzzi also shared a screenshot that indicates Meta is prepping to release Threads in Europe. On Threads itself, there’s some chatter that DMs may be added soon.
We’ve asked Meta about if or when these potential features may be released.
