🏎️ Ferrari, F1, and Ferris Fun
Lewis Hamilton’s switch from Mercedes to Ferrari gets a fun, nostalgic twist in a 2-minute ad that pays homage to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Thanks to cutting-edge tech, Hamilton is seamlessly integrated into iconic movie scenes, making his career shift feel like the ultimate adventure.
🤖 Replies Just Got Robotic
Ah yes, another update from Meta we didn’t ask for. This time, it’s AI-generated comments on Instagram posts. While intended to make engagement quicker, many users aren’t thrilled, feeling it removes the authenticity of online interactions.
📲 Editing Made Easier
YouTube is testing a new feature for editing Shorts that highlights where elements like captions or stickers are positioned within the user interface. This update helps creators see how added elements will appear, making editing more precise and user-friendly.
🚀 Get Ready For Blast Off
It sounds completely wild, but here we are! X is offering basketball fans the chance to win a trip to Mars on SpaceX’s Starship for filling out a perfect NCAA tournament bracket. No one gets it right? Well, the backup prize is a $100,000 cash prize—which, you know, is a bit more believable.
❤️ New Look, Same Like
Instagram updated the double-tap-to-like animation—nothing groundbreaking, just a smoother effect. Figured we’d mention it in case you happened to notice 😉
🌱 Go Touch Grass
The app store just got a new app, and it’s telling you to touch some grass. Yup, the "Touch Grass" app limits your screen time by making you literally go outside and touch grass before you can use your phone again. It may sound crazy, but it's actually helping people break their doomscrolling habits.
💸 Cashin’ Out
Facebook is now allowing creators to monetize their stories, giving them a new way to earn money without needing specific view thresholds. This update encourages more content creation and keeps creators engaged on the platform.
