    Apple could update the iPad Mini by the end of this year.

    It’ll be its first update since the 2021 model, but don’t expect much — it’ll come with a processor bump, Mark Gurman wrote to subscribers of his Power On newsletter for Bloomberg yesterday. But as he also wrote in April, it won’t get much else.

    After 28 years, someone opened an “unopenable” door in Super Mario 64.

    YouTuber pannenkoek2012 explains, in great detail, why a door in the “Cool, Cool Mountain” can’t be opened (there’s an invisible wall) and how someone figured out how to open it anyway.

    Google Wallet won’t be supported on these older Android or Wear OS versions.

    Starting June 10th, a Google support page says the digital wallet app will start requiring Android 9 or higher and Wear OS 2 or higher to work, as earlier versions no longer get security updates.

    As 9to5Google notes, it only required Android 5.2 when it fully rolled out in 2022.

    Legendary low-budget movie producer Roger Corman is dead at 98.

    Corman died at his home on May 9th, reports Variety. From the 1950s on, he produced (and sometimes directed) a long string of influential indie movies like Little Shop of Horrors (1960), Death Race 2000 (1975), and Piranha (1978).

    He’s also been credited for launching or revitalizing several Holywood careers, including those of directors Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorcese, and actors Dennis Hopper, Vincent Price, and Sandra Bullock.

    Only 38 of 65,000 developers have applied for Apple’s outside payment links.

    Epic argues that the 27 percent fee Apple charges third-party developers violates a 2021 court order to allow outside payment links. The judge, according to Bloomberg, seems skeptical of Apple, too:

    “You’re telling me a thousand people were involved and not one of them said maybe we should consider the cost” to the developers? the judge said. “Not a single person raised that issue of the thousand that were involved?”

    Get a load of the transparent shells on the upcoming RG35XXSP! It’s still not listed for sale on Anbernic’s site, sadly, but that could change pretty soon.
