Don’t want to be an animal on your Zoom call? Be a human instead.
Zoom is adding human avatars to Zoom calls, which could be a good option if you don’t want to show up to your next meeting as a dog. You can see what the human avatars look like in the image below, though I have to say I prefer the animal avatars.
The company is also adding threaded messages in chat, which is something I hope every video chat client steals immediately. You can read about all the new features on Zoom’s blog.

Twitter laid off more employees despite Elon Musk saying the company was done with layoffs.

Microsoft is launching a Xbox Series X bundle with Forza Horizon 5.
The new bundle comes with an Xbox Series X, a controller, and Forza Horizon 5 with a bunch of extra content (including the Hot Wheels DLC and a forthcoming second expansion). Forza Horizon 5 is excellent, so if you’ve been looking into getting a Series X to play it, the bundle, which costs $559, is a pretty good option.
