Even Tweetbot developer Paul Haddad doesn’t know what’s going on. Speculation is that Musk is pulling the plug on third-party apps, but nothing’s for certain yet.
Twitter still does not have a comms department for us to ask.
In 2021, I profiled Out of Darts, calling them “the foam-slinging equivalent of James Bond’s gadget armorer Q.” Their latest gadget is the Herja, a fully-automatic flywheeler you can bolt onto another blaster so you’re never cornered without ammo.
It’s $90 for a DIY kit or $190 for a fully-assembled blaster. That’s definitely going on my birthday wishlist.
Originally announced in November, they’re instead rolling out this week with the 21.1.106 update. Check them out in the first third of the company’s “Enterprise Release Notes” video below.
The original ride opened at Shanghai Disneyland in 2016, and it’s hitting the US in just a few more months. It’s based on Tron: Legacy, the problematic sequel with the killer Daft Punk soundtrack.

Intel’s long-awaited server chips are shipping today after two years of delays. Three months ago, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger told us how shipping Sapphire Rapids was necessary to rebuild Intel’s confidence — and customers’ confidence in Intel. The company told The New York Times a bit more about the delays, though it wouldn’t describe the final fatal flaw that pushed it from 2022 to 2023.
It’s inconvenient for his origin story! So he tried to suggest the emerald mine was “fake” — only to see his tweet revealed as a blatant lie on Twitter.
FWIW, Snopes was unable to find proof that emeralds paid for Musk’s rise to fame, but it also notes some stories about the mine have been...disappearing. Here’s one dad money quote that’s still on the web: “We had so much money at times we couldn’t even close our safe.”
Why re-download a game on Steam Deck if you’ve already got it installed on another PC? Valve has been asking itself that question, too! SteamDB noticed it’s working on a feature where you can transfer games directly over LAN, saving time and/or your data cap.
Steam’s existing vestigial backup feature didn’t work well with Deck; can’t wait to do this instead.
