    Opera is adding Bluesky, Slack, and Discord to its sidebar.

    The three apps join others available in the Opera One browser’s sidebar, like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram — using them there keeps them from taking up precious browser tab real estate. Users can enable or disable these to keep the sidebar from being junked up with services you never use.

    The new integrations are available in the latest update, which you can find here.

    Google charges 50 cents per second to use its Veo 2 AI video generator.

    That’s according to Google’s AI tool pricing tables, which it recently updated to include the early-access Veo 2 model.

    As TechCrunch notes, that rate adds up to $30 per minute or $1,800 for an hour of AI-made video — far more than the $200-per-month subscription fee for OpenAI’s Sora.

    It’ll take more Microsoft Rewards to pay for Game Pass soon.

    Microsoft will bump how many points it takes starting April 20th, 2025, writes Pure Xbox. Afterward, those who use the Rewards auto-redeem feature to cover their subscription after accruing enough points will need to set it up again.

    Now, it costs level two Rewards members 17,000 (previously 12,000) points for a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, while PC Game Pass takes 10,500 (previously 7,500) points, the outlet notes.
