When gyms and fitness boutiques closed their doors in early 2020, it was fitness tech's moment to shine. Stuck at home, people needed new ways to stay active — and for many, that meant stepping into the world of connected fitness. Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure was impossible to find. Fitness influencers turned to Instagram to broadcast live workouts. Even big tech companies started getting into wearables or launching their own on-demand fitness services. But no one had a year quite like Peloton.

Ironically, Peloton started 2020 as the butt of everyone's jokes thanks to a terrible holiday commercial gone viral. Nobody was laughing a few short months later. When lockdowns began, Peloton started by offering a free 90-day trial to its app —...

WhatsApp's web version has been updated with a built-in custom Sticker Maker, which lets you turn ordinary images from your computer into stickers that can be sent via the messaging service. To access it, click the paperclip (attachments) icon, select Sticker, and then pick an image to upload. As well as WhatsApp's web version, the feature is also coming to its Desktop apps in the next week.

Once uploaded, images can be edited to turn them into the perfect sticker. An outline can be drawn around a picture's subject to cut out the background, and images can also be cropped (though always in a square aspect ratio). Emoji, text, and additional WhatsApp stickers can also be layered on top of your sticker creations.

Being able to make your...

Microsoft is offering Xbox Series X bundles direct to ‘valued customers’

If you're hunting for an Xbox Series X, you might want to check your email inbox. Microsoft has been emailing out special links over the past week to the Microsoft Store, that let you directly order an Xbox Series X bundle. Microsoft says it has a "limited supply of Xbox Series X bundles" that are available to "valued Microsoft customers" in the US.

The emails are addressed to Microsoft Store customers, and bundles are available on a first-come and first-serve basis. Microsoft is limiting orders to one bundle per order, or two bundles per 30-day period. The links to order a bundle are unique and tied to a Microsoft Account, and don't always guarantee that stock is available for a purchase.

The newest game on Netflix is actually an old game

Posted: 24 Nov 2021 03:19 AM PST

The latest game to come to Netflix's fledgling gaming service is the racing title Asphalt Xtreme, TechCrunch reports. If that name sounds familiar, that's because the mobile game was originally released in October 2016 but was subsequently pulled from app stores at the end of September 2021. A trailer for the game released on Netflix's YouTube channel notes that it will be available "exclusively" for the service's subscribers, with no ads or in-app purchases.

It's an interesting launch that sees Netflix's gaming service borrowing from its video streaming playbook. Rather than exclusively releasing all-new, original titles, Netflix seems to be bulking out its catalog by licensing previously released games. Same as how Netflix's video...

Twitter has updated its iOS app to prevent those annoying situations where tweets disappear as you're trying to read them, the company has announced. "Now when you pause your timeline scrolling to look at a Tweet, it should stay put!" the company tweeted.

The updates made on iOS follow similar improvements made on the web version of Twitter last week. Twitter explained that tweets can disappear when replies are being added to an ongoing conversation, because this would push existing tweets up the timeline. "We know it's a frustrating experience, so we're working on changing it," the company said in September.

Apple reportedly switching to its own iPhone modem design in 2023

Apple is planning to partner with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. for the production of its own 5G modems for future iPhones, according to a new report in Nikkei. Apple is said to be planning to use TSMC's 4nm process node, which hasn't yet been deployed for any commercial product; the modem is apparently being designed and tested at 5nm before moving to mass production in 2023 at 4nm.

Apple's switch to modems of its own design is widely expected to happen in 2023, and TSMC is the natural manufacturing partner. Qualcomm, which is the dominant player in the industry and produces modem components for the entire iPhone 13 lineup, recently said that it expects to account for just 20 percent of iPhone modem orders in two years' time.

The Tolkien estate has smote JRR Token — but the NFTs persist

It seems our prediction that a Lord of the Rings-themed "JRR Token" cryptocurrency was destined for the fires of Mount Doom was accurate — the World Intellectual Property Organization (or WIPO) has declared that it violated a trademark belonging to the estate of author J.R.R. Tolkien, and ordered that one of the project's web domains be transferred to that estate (via the Financial Times).

If you're unfamiliar with JRR Token (not Tolkien), here's the lore — it was a cryptocurrency project that drew heavy inspiration from The Lord of the Rings. Its tagline was "The One Token That Rules Them All," its website featured Tolkien-esque imagery of rolling hills and wizards, and there was even a promotional video featuring an actor from the...

Twitter verified a fake account in the Norwegian government, but it’s not Twitter’s fault

Posted: 23 Nov 2021 04:10 PM PST

Twitter verified a fake account for Norway's new Minister of Finance, but apparently, it's not Twitter's fault. As first reported by Norwegian tech site NRKbeta, the Prime Minister's Office and Norway's Security Authority (NSM) mistakenly passed along a fake account for verification.

Norway's Minister of Finance, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, has never had a Twitter account. The report states that several fake accounts impersonating Vedum cropped up since he was elected...
