    College football players will be able to choose if they want to appear in EA’s new game — and they’ll get paid.

    A partnership with EA and OneTeam Partners includes “the chance for all eligible FBS players to opt in to have their likenesses in EA Sports College Football,” according to ESPN. “Those players will receive compensation for being placed in the game.” The game was announced in 2021 and is set to release in the summer of 2024.

    Free is the magic number.

    You couldn’t pay me to put Telly’s free TV that comes with a second screen entirely for ads in my house, but a lot of other people are willing to do so: the company says more than 100,000 people registered to try and get one within 36 hours of the TV’s launch. The TV is set to start shipping in the summer.

    Max is getting more profile avatars.

    The revamped streaming service will have more than 350 of them. That said, HBO Max apparently already has customizable avatars, but I can’t figure out how to actually set one. Hopefully Max makes that easier!

    You can buy an AirPods Pro Hermès case for nearly $1,000.

    If you want that case, it costs $930. That’s the same price as nearly four sets of the second-generation AirPods Pro. Bargain!

    There’s a Hermés AirPods Pro lanyard, too. Just $335!
