  19.  &lt;p id="RgaUy8"&gt;Bambu Lab, the company behind &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/23924708/creality-k1c-bambu-p1p-review"&gt;my favorite 3D printers&lt;/a&gt;, has given itself one hell of a week.    Now, I’ve got answers to some of my burning questions, answers which you might also hopefully appreciate. But first, some backstory.&lt;/p&gt;
  20. &lt;p id="Aeg3Ic"&gt;Since last Thursday, some creators have pledged not to buy Bambu printers anymore, even removed some of their 3D models from its online repository, after the company &lt;a href="https://blog.bambulab.com/firmware-update-introducing-new-authorization-control-system-2/"&gt;revealed it would add a new proprietary authentication mechanism&lt;/a&gt; that could keep you from using third-party tools to remote control your printer. &lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p id="2fudR6"&gt;While you’d still be able to stick a file on an SD card and physically put it into your printer or use Bambu’s proprietary cloud, the old way of printing remotely from a third-party slicer would be no more — unless you downloaded a new proprietary Windows and Mac “Bambu Connect” desktop app to be the middleman between your slicer and Bambu’s hardware.&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;div class="c-float-left c-float-hang"&gt;&lt;aside id="k5uLX2"&gt;&lt;q&gt;“Unauthorized third-party software will be prohibited from executing critical operations” — Bambu&lt;/q&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  23. &lt;p id="BAfgBu"&gt;While Bambu was clear early on that this would be an &lt;em&gt;optional&lt;/em&gt; update, one you could simply choose not to install, the company also positioned it as a &lt;em&gt;necessary&lt;/em&gt; one to secure printers against remote hacks....&lt;/p&gt;
  24.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/21/24349031/bambu-3d-printer-update-authentication-filament-subscription-lock-answers"&gt;Read the full story at The Verge.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  43.  
  44.  &lt;p id="UgJk4i"&gt;On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump &lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/technology/trump-ross-ulbricht-silk-road.html"&gt;issued a pardon&lt;/a&gt; to Ross Ulbricht, who ran the dark web marketplace Silk Road under the pseudonym “Dread Pirate Roberts.” Ulbricht has been serving a life sentence without parole since 2015, when he was convicted of multiple charges, including the &lt;a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahjeong/2015/02/04/jury-finds-ross-ulbricht-guilty-of-running-silk-road-marketplace/"&gt;distribution of narcotics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  45. &lt;p id="Fsog5d"&gt;The Silk Road marketplace, which was only accessible through the Tor network, became one of the most prevalent early commercial uses of Bitcoin. Buyers and sellers traded in illicit drugs, forged passports, and more. &lt;/p&gt;
  46. &lt;p id="J1kFOO"&gt;In the intervening years, Ulbricht became a cause celebrè for a certain segment of the right-wing, particularly in the crypto crowd that &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/24211345/bitcoin-conference-2024-nashville-trump-maga-crypto"&gt;embraced Trump last year&lt;/a&gt;. To his supporters, Ulbricht’s life sentence is unusually punitive. Similar offenses have garnered much more lenient sentences — for instance, &lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/business/blake-benthall-silk-road-crypto.html"&gt;Blake Benthall&lt;/a&gt;, who operated Silk Road 2.0, was sentenced to time served and three years of probation. Ulbricht’s lieutenant, &lt;a href="https://www.wired.com/story/silk-road-variety-jones-sentencing/"&gt;Thomas Clark&lt;/a&gt;, also known as “Variety Jones,” was sentenced to 20 years in prison last year. &lt;/p&gt;
  47. &lt;div class="c-float-left c-float-hang"&gt;&lt;aside id="x7Cc8N"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Crackdown on Silk Road, the underground drug market","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2013/10/3/4798562/crackdown-on-silk-road-the-underground-drug-market"}]}'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  48. &lt;p id="CSqx5J"&gt;Although the criminal offenses were nonviolent in nature, the judge who sentenced Ulbricht took into account multiple deaths attributable to drugs bought through the Silk Road.  &lt;/p&gt;
  49. &lt;p id="SDm6RP"&gt;Throughout his trial, Ulbricht denied that he had committed the crimes at issue. Because law enforcement had arrested him with his laptop open, they had access to all his files, which included the code of the website, private messages between him and employees of the Silk Road, and a &lt;a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahjeong/2015/01/22/the-dread-pirates-diary/"&gt;diary&lt;/a&gt; whose entries corresponded to OKCupid messages tied to Ross Ulbricht’s real identity. &lt;/p&gt;

  68.  
  69.  &lt;p id="bobF4q"&gt;President Donald Trump says he’d be open to his buddies Elon Musk or Larry Ellison buying TikTok.&lt;/p&gt;
  70. &lt;p id="i8fjFb"&gt;“Larry, let’s negotiate in front of the media,” Trump said at a press conference with the Oracle co-founder, SoftBank CEO Masa Son, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to announce &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/21/24348816/openai-softbank-ai-data-center-stargate-project"&gt;a $500 billion artificial intelligence infrastructure investment&lt;/a&gt;. “What I’m thinking about saying to somebody is, buy it, and give half to the United States of America. Half, and we’ll give you the permit. And they’ll have a great partner, the United States.”&lt;/p&gt;
  71. &lt;p id="l5i3Zx"&gt;“Sounds like a good deal to me, Mr. President,” Ellison said.&lt;/p&gt;
  72. &lt;div id="TXtyQP"&gt;
  73. &lt;blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@nbcnews/video/7462514854767775019" data-video-id="7462514854767775019" data-embed-from="oembed" style="max-width:605px; min-width:325px;"&gt; &lt;section&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" title="@nbcnews" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@nbcnews?refer=embed"&gt;@nbcnews&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;President &lt;a title="trump" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/trump?refer=embed"&gt;#Trump&lt;/a&gt; says he’s open to &lt;a title="elonmusk" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/elonmusk?refer=embed"&gt;#ElonMusk&lt;/a&gt; buying TikTok “if he wanted to buy it.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - nbcnews" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7462514905086806826?refer=embed"&gt;♬ original sound - nbcnews&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/section&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  74. &lt;/div&gt;
  75. &lt;p id="hiGq10"&gt;It’s still not entirely clear how &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/19/24347463/trump-plan-to-save-tiktok-from-ban"&gt;all of this would work&lt;/a&gt;, or how the US could legally operate a speech platform without violating the First Amendment. But it’s one of the earliest examples of how &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24346317/trump-gangster-tech-regulation-corruption-grift"&gt;Silicon Valley’s coziness with Trump&lt;/a&gt; could manifest over the next four years. &lt;/p&gt;
  76. &lt;div class="c-float-left c-float-hang"&gt;&lt;aside id="2kQKlp"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Welcome to the era of gangster tech regulation","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24346317/trump-gangster-tech-regulation-corruption-grift"}]}'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  77. &lt;p id="FNkMrr"&gt;Trump &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24348213/trump-tiktok-ban-executive-order-sale-delay-china"&gt;signed an executive order&lt;/a&gt; on Monday instructing his administration not to enforce the law on service providers covered by the forced divestiture bill — which include Oracle, Apple, and Google — for 75 days. But legal experts say the action provides hardly any legal cover for those companies to &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/19/24347325/tiktok-service-providers-penalties-apple-google-orcale-trump"&gt;violate federal law and risk $850 billion in penalties&lt;/a&gt;. Even so, Oracle has &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/19/24347280/tiktok-ban-shutdown-ends"&gt;appeared to rely on Trump’s assurances&lt;/a&gt; to help TikTok run in the US after the January 19th sale deadline, though the company has not yet commented on it directly. &lt;/p&gt;
  78. &lt;p id="elQDdm"&gt;TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance still has other offers on the table, including from billionaire Frank McCourt’s Project Liberty and now, apparently, from YouTube creator MrBeast — whose investor group is receiving legal counsel from a &lt;a href="https://www.paulhastings.com/news/paul-hastings-advises-investor-group-on-all-cash-bid-for-tiktoks-u-s-operations"&gt;team that includes&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-21/mrbeast-internet-s-top-creator-joins-new-bid-to-buy-tiktok?srnd=undefined"&gt;the brother of Trump’s attorney general pick&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  79. &lt;p id="c8EATF"&gt;As he was leaving the briefing, a reporter asked Trump if he has TikTok on his phone. “No, but I think I might put it there,” Trump responded. “I think I’ll get it right now.”&lt;/p&gt;

  97.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  98.  
  99.  &lt;p id="N2hda8"&gt;Microsoft and OpenAI &lt;a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/01/21/microsoft-and-openai-evolve-partnership-to-drive-the-next-phase-of-ai/"&gt;announced Tuesday&lt;/a&gt; that they have adjusted their partnership so that OpenAI can access competitors' compute. &lt;/p&gt;
  100. &lt;p id="VxOoIg"&gt;The new agreement “includes changes to the exclusivity on new capacity, moving to a model where Microsoft has a right of first refusal (ROFR),” Microsoft says. “To further support OpenAI, Microsoft has approved OpenAI’s ability to build additional capacity, primarily for research and training of models.”&lt;/p&gt;
  101. &lt;p id="iiESBM"&gt;The foundation of their relationship (which runs through 2030) stays pretty much the same — Microsoft keeps its exclusive rights to OpenAI’s tech for products like Copilot, and OpenAI’s API remains exclusive to Azure. They’ll maintain their two-way revenue-sharing setup (it's been &lt;a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsoft-and-openai-wrangle-over-terms-of-their-blockbuster-partnership?rc=mshudk"&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; that Microsoft gets 20 percent of OpenAI’s revenue). Prior to today’s change, OpenAI was locked into using Microsoft’s Azure cloud infrastructure exclusively for its computing needs. &lt;/p&gt;
  102. &lt;p id="fEU93e"&gt;The news follows &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/21/24348816/openai-softbank-ai-data-center-stargate-project"&gt;the announcement of a joint venture&lt;/a&gt; between Arm, Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle, and OpenAI to build a system of data centers in the U.S. called Starbase.&lt;/p&gt;
  103. &lt;p id="JeihBX"&gt;The models OpenAI hopes to build and the user base it's looking to serve require billions of dollars in compute. It has been &lt;a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-eases-away-from-microsoft-data-centers?rc=mshudk"&gt;previously reported&lt;/a&gt; that some OpenAI shareholders felt Microsoft wasn’t moving fast enough to supply OpenAI with computing power, hence why the startup &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/12/24177188/openai-oracle-ai-chips-microsoft"&gt;partnered with Oracle back in June&lt;/a&gt; (with the blessing of Microsoft) for the necessary compute.&lt;/p&gt;
  104. &lt;p id="1Eteci"&gt;There’s been a lot of buzz about Microsoft and OpenAI facing relationship woes after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was briefly ousted from the company, causing a lot of very public drama. &lt;em&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/technology/microsoft-openai-partnership-deal.html"&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; that the relationship has grown increasingly strained due to financial pressures at OpenAI, concerns about stability, and growing friction between employees at both companies.&lt;/p&gt;
  105. &lt;p id="cVFJ2Y"&gt;Last March, &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/19/24105900/google-deepmind-microsoft-mustafa-suleyman-ai-ceo"&gt;Microsoft hired Inflection CEO Mustafa Suleyman&lt;/a&gt; to lead its consumer AI efforts, along with most of Inflection’s staff, in a $650 million deal. According to &lt;em&gt;The New York Times &lt;/em&gt;report, this move particularly angered some OpenAI leadership, including Altman.&lt;/p&gt;
  106. &lt;p id="52ECy3"&gt;OpenAI’s deal with Microsoft also &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/26/24329618/openai-microsoft-and-the-100-billion-agi-question"&gt;has an unusual escape clause&lt;/a&gt;: if OpenAI creates artificial general intelligence (AGI), it could close off Microsoft’s access to some of its most powerful models developed after that point. AGI, reportedly, is defined as a system capable of &lt;a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsoft-and-openai-wrangle-over-terms-of-their-blockbuster-partnership"&gt;generating more than $100 billion&lt;/a&gt; in profits. This was originally meant to keep such powerful AI from being commercialized, but now OpenAI is &lt;a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2c14b89c-f363-4c2a-9dfc-13023b6bce65"&gt;reportedly&lt;/a&gt; considering dropping this provision, likely to secure more Microsoft funding.&lt;/p&gt;

  124.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  125.  
  126.  &lt;p id="Tb2t6O"&gt;A plan to build a system of data centers for artificial intelligence has been revealed in a White House press conference, with Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman, and Larry Ellison joining Donald Trump to announce The Stargate Project. Their companies, Softbank, OpenAI, and Oracle (respectively), along with MGX are listed as “initial equity funders” for $500 billion in investments over the next four years, “building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States.”&lt;/p&gt;
  127. &lt;p id="RtEj7i"&gt;According to &lt;a href="https://openai.com/index/announcing-the-stargate-project/"&gt;a statement from OpenAI&lt;/a&gt;, “Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI” are the initial tech partners, with a buildout “currently underway” starting in Texas as other sites across the country are evaluated. It also says that “Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system.”&lt;/p&gt;
  128. &lt;p id="28G7RI"&gt;Separately, &lt;a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/01/21/microsoft-and-openai-evolve-partnership-to-drive-the-next-phase-of-ai/"&gt;Microsoft announced an update&lt;/a&gt; to its &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/24/24278363/microsoft-openai-next-model-orion-notepad"&gt;partnership with OpenAI&lt;/a&gt;, saying that the key elements of their deal remain in place through 2030, covering “our access to OpenAI’s IP, our revenue sharing arrangements and our exclusivity on OpenAI’s APIs all continuing forward.” &lt;/p&gt;
  129. &lt;p id="Q42nrt"&gt;What is changing is that Microsoft says OpenAI has made a “new, large Azure commitment that will continue to support all OpenAI products as well as training.” However, their exclusive arrangement for new capacity is changing so that now &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/e/24113047"&gt;Microsoft has a right of first refusal over OpenAI building new capacity&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  130. &lt;p id="Ss0mNf"&gt;In a press conference announcing the project, which has been &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/22/24137391/microsoft-hires-meta-ai-supercomputing-jason-taylor"&gt;rumored&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsoft-and-openai-plot-100-billion-stargate-ai-supercomputer"&gt;since early last year&lt;/a&gt;, Son and Altman spoke directly to Trump, insisting that the project only happened because of his election victory. &lt;/p&gt;

  144.    <title>Meta’s next smart glasses may be with Oakley</title>
  145.    <content type="html">  
  146.

  148.      &lt;img alt="Washington Nationals v Miami Marlins" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/ye7uhCHLcXd3_HohN7K6sD8LYHs=/4x0:4636x3088/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73859901/1208819003.0.jpg" /&gt;
  149.        &lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oakleys are considered stylish and popular with athletes — which is probably why Meta’s keen to partner.&lt;/em&gt; | Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  150.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  151.  
  152.  &lt;p id="PUH1ia"&gt;Meta may be releasing new Oakley-branded smart glasses later this year, according to a new &lt;a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-21/meta-hardware-plans-oakley-and-ar-like-glasses-apple-watch-and-airpods-rivals"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bloomberg&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; report. &lt;/p&gt;
  153. &lt;p id="FPWp5B"&gt;The Oakley-branded glasses, internally referred to as “Supernova 2”, would be based on the brand’s &lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1514734&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oakley.com%2Fen-us%2Fproduct%2FW0OO9403&amp;amp;referrer=theverge.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2025%2F1%2F21%2F24348949%2Fmetas-next-smart-glasses-may-be-with-oakley" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Sphaera&lt;/a&gt; glasses. Instead of housing the cameras on the side, the Supernova 2 would shift the camera to the center of the frame. The idea is to appeal to cyclists and other outdoor athletes. The report didn’t detail any other potential features, though the Oakley glasses would ostensibly have similar features to the current &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/23922425/ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses-review"&gt;Ray-Ban Meta glasses&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  154. &lt;div class="c-float-left c-float-hang"&gt;&lt;aside id="G69z00"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"The smart glasses era is here — I got a first look","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/10/24340208/ces-2025-smart-glasses-rokid-halliday-xreal-vuzix-nuance-audio"},{"title":"Smart glasses need to be stylish to really go mainstream","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/30/23894067/ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses-style-wearables"},{"title":"This is Meta’s AR / VR hardware roadmap through 2027 ","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/28/23619730/meta-vr-oculus-ar-glasses-smartwatch-plans"}]}'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  155. &lt;p id="fUVV4M"&gt;Oakley, like Ray-Bans, are a subsidiary of eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica. The move to expand Meta’s tech to other brands under EssilorLuxottica’s umbrella is a savvy one. While the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are good for discreet, everyday wear, they’re a bit heavy for endurance sports and lack certain features like polarized lenses for better visibility. Oakleys are also considered stylish and popular among professional athletes. Conceptually, they’re similar to the now discontinued &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/22351451/bose-frames-tempo-audio-sunglasses-review-features"&gt;Bose Frames Tempo&lt;/a&gt;, which allowed athletes to have open-ear audio with polarized lenses in a relatively light form factor. That said, if the goal is to appeal to athletes, Meta and Oakley will likely have to address factors like weight, sweat resistance, and battery life. &lt;/p&gt;
  156. &lt;p id="KqCoNM"&gt;The report also notes that Meta plans on launching a higher-end version of its current Ray-Ban glasses that include a display capable of delivering notifications, running simple apps, and previewing photos.&lt;/p&gt;

  174.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  175.  
  176.  &lt;p id="xlByB1"&gt;The fourth &lt;em&gt;Sonic&lt;/em&gt; movie now has an official release date: March 19th, 2027, &lt;a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/sonic-4-release-date-march-2027-1236280697/"&gt;according to &lt;em&gt;Variety&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Right around the release of the very successful &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/24228966/sonic-the-hedgehog-3-trailer-keanu-reeves"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sonic the Hedgehog 3&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;last December, news hit that &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/19/24325163/sonic-4-confirmed-paramount-pictures-sonic-the-hedgehog"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sonic the Hedgehog 4&lt;/em&gt; was in the works&lt;/a&gt;, but at the time, the movie only had a spring 2027 release window.&lt;/p&gt;
  177. &lt;p id="sg67AL"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sonic&lt;/em&gt; films have drawn all-star cast members over the years, such as Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, who has played the role in all three of the movies, &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/10/22618880/idris-elba-knuckles-voice-actor-sonic-the-hedgehog-2"&gt;Idris Elba as Knuckles&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/15/24131385/keanu-reeves-shadow-the-hedgehog-sonic-3"&gt;Keanu Reeves as Shadow&lt;/a&gt;. And a post-credits scene for the third movie hints that &lt;a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/family-movies/sonic-3-post-credits-scenes-explained/"&gt;other fan favorites could join the series&lt;/a&gt; (spoilers in that link!), so there might be big casting announcements ahead for the fourth &lt;em&gt;Sonic&lt;/em&gt; film.&lt;/p&gt;
  178. &lt;p id="6yJ6t2"&gt;The March 2027 date for &lt;em&gt;Sonic The Hedgehog 4&lt;/em&gt; means it will launch well after &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/10/24096213/super-mario-bros-movie-2-sequel-2026"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Super Mario Bros. Movie&lt;/em&gt; sequel&lt;/a&gt;, which is set to debut on April 3rd, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

  190.    <title>Netflix is raising prices again, as the standard plan goes up to $17.99</title>
  191.    <content type="html">

  196.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  197.  
  198.  &lt;p id="R7PHAC"&gt;Netflix is raising prices yet again. In its &lt;a href="https://ir.netflix.net/files/doc_financials/2024/q4/FINAL-Q4-24-Shareholder-Letter.pdf"&gt;latest earnings report&lt;/a&gt; released Tuesday, the streaming service announced that “we are adjusting prices today across most plans” in the US, Canada, Portugal, and Argentina.&lt;/p&gt;
  199. &lt;p id="rNubG0"&gt;Netflix spokesperson MoMo Zhou tells &lt;em&gt;The Verge&lt;/em&gt; that the ad-supported tier is increasing from $6.99 to $7.99 per month, while the standard ad-free tier will go from $15.49 to $17.99 per month. Its highest-priced premium tier is also increasing from $22.99 to $24.99 per month. The price hikes will go into effect during subscribers’ next billing cycle, according to Zhou.&lt;/p&gt;
  200. &lt;div class="c-wide-block"&gt;&lt;div id="ZKs0A1"&gt;
  201. &lt;iframe title="History of Netflix price increases" aria-label="Interactive line chart" id="datawrapper-chart-ziYTe" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ziYTe/9/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="414"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(e){if(void 0!==e.data["datawrapper-height"]){var t=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var a in e.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r&lt;t.length;r++){if(t[r].contentWindow===e.source)t[r].style.height=e.data["datawrapper-height"][a]+"px"}}}))}();
  202. &lt;/script&gt;
  203. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  204. &lt;p id="BTRrGR"&gt;“As we continue to invest in programming and deliver more value for our members, we will occasionally ask our members to pay a little more so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix,” the company’s letter to investors says. Netflix &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/18/23922319/netflix-q3-earnings-2023-price-hike-increase-basic-premium"&gt;last raised the price of its subscription&lt;/a&gt; in October 2023. This is also the first time it’s raising the price of this ad-supported plan, which it rolled out in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  205. &lt;p id="lXa8gI"&gt;Netflix added 19 million new subscribers over the past few months — the most in its history during a single quarter — bringing its global total to 300 million. This is the last time Netflix will reveal how many subscribers it added during the quarter, as the&lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/18/24134217/netflix-earnings-q1-2024-subscriber-count"&gt; company said last year that it would&lt;/a&gt; only announce “major subscriber milestones as we cross them” starting in the first quarter of 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  206. &lt;div class="c-float-left c-float-hang"&gt;&lt;aside id="KxTP46"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"How Netflix took on live TV — and got ready to take on the NFL","url":"https://www.theverge.com/24326196/netflix-live-nfl-paul-tyson-wwe-world-cup"},{"title":"Netflix says subscribers spend two hours a day on the platform ","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/17/24272920/netflix-q3-2024-earnings-subscriber-time-spent"}]}'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  207. &lt;p id="1SVMdH"&gt;Even with a subscriber count reaching new highs, and operating income ballooning past $10 billion for the first time, Netflix executives believe the company still has room for growth. The company’s letter to investors says it accounts for less than 10 percent of TV viewing in the countries it’s available in, “which suggests a long runway for growth as streaming continues to expand around the world.”&lt;/p&gt;
  208. &lt;p id="VowsbY"&gt;Along with the price hike, Netflix announced that it’s rolling out a new Extra Member with Ads plan, which will allow those on the ad-supported plan to add someone outside their household to their subscription. It currently costs an extra $7.99 per month to add someone outside your household to an ad-free plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  209. &lt;p id="3x7na4"&gt;The streamer ended 2024 with a strong content lineup that included new seasons of &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/24324173/squid-game-season-2-review-netflix"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Squid Game&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/24291592/arcane-season-2-review-netflix"&gt;the &lt;em&gt;League of Legends&lt;/em&gt; spinoff &lt;em&gt;Arcane&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  210. &lt;p id="UQWgOm"&gt;Netflix’s approach to live content has also gotten more aggressive within the past several weeks, as it has gone from &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/19/23801021/netflix-live-sports-documentaries-programming"&gt;airing “sports-adjacent” events&lt;/a&gt; like a golf tournament that &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/19/23801021/netflix-live-sports-documentaries-programming"&gt;paired PGA players with Formula One drivers&lt;/a&gt; to full-blown &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/26/24329685/netflix-nfl-christmas-day-games-streaming-numbers"&gt;NFL games featuring performances&lt;/a&gt; from Beyoncé and Mariah Carey. But Netflix notes that it’s “not focusing on acquiring rights to large regular season sports packages; rather, our live strategy is all about delivering can’t-miss, special event programming.”&lt;/p&gt;
  211. &lt;p id="zA3587"&gt;Despite &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/16/24298026/mike-tyson-jake-paul-netflix-livestream-quality-issues-buffering-dropped-stream"&gt;running into some hiccups&lt;/a&gt;, the streamer also &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/19/24300814/netflix-jake-paul-mike-tyson-most-streamed-sporting-event"&gt;touted “record-breaking” viewership&lt;/a&gt; numbers for last year’s live boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, while its WWE debut with &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/9/24339915/netflix-sounds-very-jazzed-about-how-many-people-watched-wwe-monday-night-raw"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Monday Night Raw&lt;/em&gt; locked in 4.9 million views&lt;/a&gt;, according to &lt;em&gt;The Hollywood Reporter&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  212. &lt;p id="q5dRK1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update, January 21st:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; Added information from Netflix.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  224.    <title>The Switch 2 has a new trigger for disconnecting Joy-Con controllers</title>
  225.    <content type="html">  
  226.  
  227.    &lt;figure&gt;
  228.      &lt;img alt="" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/LSLmqq53wFh4UaXD1mSGQ6S-DCk=/0x87:2216x1564/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73859715/Screenshot_2025_01_21_at_12.44.53_PM.0.png" /&gt;
  229.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  230.  
  231.  &lt;p id="ISKNjd"&gt;A video on &lt;a href="https://www.nintendo.com/successor/en-us/index.html"&gt;Nintendo’s Switch 2 website&lt;/a&gt; shows how the trigger (or is it a button?) on the back of the Joy-Con controllers disconnects them from the console, as spotted &lt;a href="https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2/511597/switch-2-nintendo-joy-con-remove-detach"&gt;by &lt;em&gt;Polygon&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  232. &lt;p id="YIJAsX"&gt;In the video, the trigger is pressed down a tad before a final push releases it from the console. As the Joy-Con moves away, you can also see a small cylinder receding back into the top part of the inside of the controller; to me, that indicates that when you push the trigger, you’re actually pushing out that cylinder to help bump the Joy-Con out. &lt;/p&gt;
  233. &lt;p id="GhR0II"&gt;Here’s a GIF of the relevant part of the video:&lt;/p&gt;
  234. &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  235.        &lt;img alt="A GIF showing a Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con disconnecting from the console and moving away." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/WvxR_LsNSOM1i6SQb9FMoMy9IgE=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25840753/joycon_release.gif"&gt;
  236.      &lt;cite&gt;GIF by Andrew Liszewski / The Verge&lt;/cite&gt;
  237.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  238. &lt;p id="Ve91cY"&gt;The mechanism to remove the Joy-Con controllers looks similar to what was included in a 3D-printed mockup that accessories-maker Genki &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/8/24339396/nintendo-switch-2-genki-ces-2025"&gt;brought to CES&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  239. &lt;p id="SesRsL"&gt;However, as for how the controllers actually stay attached to the Switch 2, Nintendo so far hasn’t said if the console uses magnets, &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/18/24324483/nintendo-switch-2-leak-reddit-next-handheld"&gt;as has been rumored&lt;/a&gt;. It’s one of &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/16/24344718/nintendo-switch-2-specs-date-price-launch-games-mario-kart"&gt;many unanswered questions&lt;/a&gt; — hopefully, all will be revealed at Nintendo’s &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/16/24236766/nintendo-switch-2-games-direct-date-time"&gt;Switch 2-focused Direct on April 2nd&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  260.  &lt;p id="RRbTrK"&gt;Apple Intelligence will be switched on by default, starting in &lt;a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-18_3-release-notes#New-Features"&gt;iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-15_3-release-notes"&gt;macOS 15.3&lt;/a&gt;. In release candidate notes spotted &lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/01/21/ios-18-3-automatically-enables-apple-intelligence-requires-opt-out-to-disable/"&gt;by &lt;em&gt;9to5Mac&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Apple says it will switch on AI-powered features automatically for new users or those upgrading to the latest versions of its operating systems. &lt;/p&gt;
  261. &lt;p id="K4U2sn"&gt;The AI update will only apply to devices that support Apple Intelligence, including the iPhone 15 Pro and later, iPads and Macs with the Apple Silicon M1 chip or later, and the &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/22/24275956/apple-ipad-mini-2024-review"&gt;most recent version&lt;/a&gt; of the iPad mini.&lt;/p&gt;
  262. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="G0TH2L"&gt;For users new or upgrading to macOS 18.3, Apple Intelligence will be enabled automatically during Mac onboarding. Users will have access to Apple Intelligence features after setting up their devices. To disable Apple Intelligence, users will need to navigate to the Apple Intelligence &amp;amp; Siri Settings pane and turn off the Apple Intelligence toggle. This will disable Apple Intelligence features on their device. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  263. &lt;div class="c-float-left c-float-hang"&gt;&lt;aside id="GlwNrU"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Apple gets into AI: all the news on iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and more","url":"https://www.theverge.com/24246632/apple-intelligence-ios-18-ipad-os-18-macos-sequoia-iphone-16"},{"title":"An iPhone owner’s guide to living off the app grid","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/22/24325858/iphone-minimalist-homescreen-ios-18-widgets-shortcuts"}]}'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  264. &lt;p id="2S34st"&gt;As Apple’s notes mention, after updating your device, you’ll have to manually disable Apple Intelligence if you don’t want support for &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/12/24318840/ios-18-2-apple-intelligence-chatgpt-genmoji-image-playground"&gt;features like AI notification summaries&lt;/a&gt;, Image Playground, and tools that can rewrite pieces of text running on your device. To turn Apple Intelligence off, you’ll have to head to the Apple Intelligence &amp;amp; Siri Settings pane and then switch off the Apple Intelligence toggle.&lt;/p&gt;
  265. &lt;p id="zicMXt"&gt;Last week, iOS 18.3 beta testers spotted an update that will &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/16/24345331/apple-notification-summaries-pause-news-ios-18-3-beta"&gt;pause AI notification summaries for news and entertainment apps&lt;/a&gt; after the feature inaccurately summarized a BBC headline. Apple will also make it easier to identify notification summaries on your iPhone’s lock screen and note that they “may contain errors.”&lt;/p&gt;
