    What do Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Jason Momoa have in common?

    Well, as of a couple of days ago, they’ve all sung about T-Mobile for a Super Bowl ad. Is it a good commercial? That depends on how much you liked Scrubs.

    Is this a day in the life of Christopher Walken?

    BMW’s i5 electric sedan Super Bowl commercial makes good use of Walken, who forever seems like a good sport.

    It’s hard to know how close this ad is to showing what it’s like moving through the world while being Walken, but the constant barrage of impressions from random people feels right.

    Here lies Ingenuity, 2021 – 2024.

    NASA’s Mars helicopter-that-could logged 67 more flights than the five it was originally intended to make in its almost three years on Mars before its little chopper blades gave out.

    Gizmodo pointed to this lonesome digital zoom of the copter, resting on a sand dune on the red planet, created by visual design student Simeon Schmauß from a panorama he made from set of six NASA images (NASA later posted one of its own).

    So long, Ingenuity. You did great, buddy.

    Google is working on allowing on-demand app archiving.

    Android Authority reports that the feature is in the code for the latest Android 14 beta. Like the iOS app offloading feature, it reportedly lets users delete an app but save the app’s data for later, and it works whether the app is from Google Play or not.

    At the moment, Android only auto-archives apps that haven’t been used in a while, and only for Google Play apps.

    A Verizon employee gained unauthorized access to 63,000 employees’ data in September.

    The company recently filed a data breach notification with Maine’s Attorney General’s office saying that the employee doesn’t seem to have shared the data, which included names, physical addresses, and social security numbers.

    Verizon told BleepingComputer that it had contacted law enforcement, but that “there is no indication of malicious intent.”

    Could emulators be great in the Vision Pro?

    This is clearly the worst way to play a Game Boy Advance game in VR, but I think the excellent passthrough video of the Vision Pro could make for some very cool nostalgic emulation.

    At the moment, I can’t shake the mental image of a Virtual Boy with Bluetooth controller support I can put my face into. Of course, this is in a fantasy world where Apple allows emulators on the Vision Pro App Store.

    This is the entire Vision Pro motion sickness label.

    Apple’s motion sickness support page tells you how to minimize possible nausea and other symptoms while using the Vision Pro. The company even offers a little label to tell you when an app or “Apple Immersive Media” has “larger amounts of motion.”

    And this is it. This is how you know.
