Hey, remember 2020’s most-downloaded game Among Us? Whether you’re still playing or if you’ve taken a break, this could be a reason to get the group together again.
For the weekend, developers Innersloth have brought a new version of Horse Mode, available in either Classic or Horse Wrangling flavors.
Like the Cybertruck’s windshield wiper, this “crash test” doesn’t quite reach the end.
Elon Musk proposed his plan for paid verification as an alternative to the previous system of “lords & peasants,” but not everyone is buying in.
LeBron James — a Martin fan who is notoriously cheap, refusing to pay for data roaming or ad-free Pandora — isn’t paying to stay verified post-April 1st.
Someone initiated a password reset request on my account (I prefer Mastodon these days) and then sent this message to try to get me to text them the verification code I received from Twitter. Don’t they know Twitter already cut off SMS 2FA for non-Blue subscribers?
(FYI - you should use another form of two-factor authentication on your account, and you should never, ever resend a verification code via text — unless you think you can get a good story out of it.)
Well-connected supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says mass production for Apple’s rumored headset has been pushed back and forecasts shipping numbers this year of 200k to 300k units instead of 500,000 or so.
Kuo suggests the change is tied to a lack of optimism about the launch and “uncertainty” about a WWDC reveal — echoing a recent New York Times report — and while I don’t know if that’s the case, I’m sure there will be more rumors before the show starts on June 5th.
Instead of an Oscar-bait movie or more sports, Peacock is adding Morning Joe from MSNBC and Squawk Box from CNBC starting on March 28th.
While missing out on cable news is a feature for some cord-cutters, others may want their morning updates without paying the cable-like prices for packages like Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV, especially after CNN Plus went 90 in less than a month.
Disclosure: Comcast, which owns NBCUniversal, is also an investor in Vox Media, The Verge’s parent company.
Shivon Zilis, a director of operations at Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface company Neuralink who also has twin children with Musk, has said she met him through her work with OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT. Now The Information reports Zilis has stepped down from its board of directors.
Musk left OpenAI’s board severely years ago and has recently claimed it is training AI to be too “woke.” The Information reported previously that he is now recruiting a team to build a rival chatbot.

Last night Relativity Space was able to launch its methane-fueled, 3D-printed Terran R rocket at 11:25PM ET (via Engadget, CNN) after being forced to scrub a few prior attempts.
However, Terran R failed to reach orbit, as the second stage engine sputtered out several minutes into the flight. Relativity called the launch “a huge win” and said, “We will assess flight data and provide public updates over the coming days.”
