    Netflix now has 70 mobile games available for subscribers.

    The number is steadily creeping up, and there are some great games to choose from. However, if you’re one of the lucky few who can test out the company’s streamed games, you’ll only have access to two titles; hopefully Netflix adds more to that lineup soon.

    Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are making a $100 million fund to assist with recovery efforts for the Maui wildfires.

    “Jeff and I are creating a Maui Fund and are dedicating $100 million to help Maui get back on its feet now and over the coming years as the continuing needs reveal themselves,” Sanchez wrote on Instagram (via GeekWire).

    Twitter appears to finally be switching over to X.com.

    When I copy post URLs from the share sheet in the X iOS app, they’re on my clipboard as x.com links, not twitter.com. On the web, x.com links still redirect to twitter.com, but I’m guessing things will fully flip over to X soon.

    A screenshot from an iPhone’s Notes app showing x.com URLs.
    Yes, I used the Notes app screenshot to show this. I couldn’t think of a better way to show something on my clipboard!

    Audio Magic Eraser could be the Pixel 8’s next big feature — and here’s a legitimate-looking video showing it off.

    You can see the video on X / Twitter here or in the embedded tweet below. In the video, a person turns on the feature and largely removes the loud noises of a skateboard.

    Take it with a grain of salt: this is from an account created this month that has no other posts. But it does seem plausible that this is a Google-made video for a new Google product feature.

    We’ve reached out to Google for comment.
