The Autopian spotted the highly anticipated EV in Long Beach this week. Although it was heavily camouflaged, the outlet was able to estimate its measurements to be around 64-inches tall and about 195-inches long, which would make it a little smaller than a Ford Maverick. That’s extremely interesting to me as a person who thinks most trucks today are way too big for their britches. Sure, it’s no kei truck, but for Ford, it’s practically microscopic. Bring on the baby trucks!

“Outsider Enterprise” allegedly distributes phishing templates that have scammed people out of millions of dollars. Google says over a million fraudulent URLs are linked to the group, and that over just two weeks, it sent 2.5 million messages to Android users with links to fraudulent websites.

Developer Gareth Williams is about to launch a massively multiplayer RPG on just about the tiniest device imaginable. PointlessQuest hits the Playdate starting on June 13th — you can download it now to get a jump on things — and promises most typical MMO features, but on a much smaller scale.

A sun exposure-tracking pendant, in case they’re running low on tech-induced anxiety.

The upgraded Gemini for Google TV experience lets you speak to open settings, adjust sound and picture, and fix issues by describing them, such as by saying “the screen is too dark.” It’s exclusive to select 2025 and 2026 TCL Google TV models for 60 days, and rolling out now in the US.

After updating, the much-maligned sparkle icon — meant to celebrate 20 years of Spotify — will revert back to its former flat self.

That’s Katie Dippold, creator and showrunner of the horror / comedy hybrid Widow’s Bay, which Apple just confirmed has been renewed. The news comes just ahead of the season 1 finale, which streams on June 17th.

That price puts SpaceX at a market valuation of around $1.77 trillion ahead of its record-breaking stock market debut on Friday. CNBC reports that SpaceX may allocate 20 percent of shares to retail investors, down from the previous expectation of 30 percent.

If you crunch the numbers the new $499.99 Conferencing Kit Plus is cheaper buy than buying Elgato’s Prompter, Facecam 1080P webcam, and Wave Desk Stand mounting arm individually. The kit also includes a laptop stand, a USB-C hub so there’s just one cable to plug into your computer, and a one year subscription to all of Elgato’s Airtime Video Essentials apps.

A Thursday email to Google Home users says there are over 3.5 million Gemini for Home early access testers, and that people should “keep a very close eye on your inbox next week” for news about “a certain speaker.” That sounds like the Google Home speaker we previewed in October, which was projected to launch in spring 2026.

After launching the abilty to create and share lists of movies and TV shows, Plex is now rolling out a “discussions” feature that will allow you to chat about content in its app. Other social features, like emoji reactions, are set to arrive throughout the year.

The feature is rolling out now and supports groups of up to 50 people, but you still can’t send pictures or videos in Bluesky’s DMs. Yesterday, Bluesky also announced a “communities” feature it’s planning to add later this year that will offer smaller public or private spaces with their own feeds, like a subreddit.

It’s a similar idea as L’Oréal’s My Skin Track UV sensor, but the $299 (discounted to $199 at launch) Gem smart jewelry wearable from The90 is a more stylish alternative. Its sensors measure UVA and UVB exposure throughout the day and based on your skin profile it will tell you how much sun is safe to get and when to reapply sunscreen through an app.

Julia Alexander, media correspondent at Puck, walks us through the much longer history of YouTube on the big screen, and helps us figure out where this all goes next. Is the future just really, really big YouTube videos?

Lionsgate’s partnershuip with Runway seemed to have hit a major snag last fall when the companies couldn’t get their AI model to generate footage suitable to be turned into a full-on movie. And now, they’re reportedly putting more energy into producing “short episodic series using existing Lionsgate IP.”

Still not convinced you need a 3D printer? If you head on over to Printables you’ll find all the model files and instructions you’ll need to turn a standard garden hose nozzle into Curt Turner’s sprayser; a detailed Star Trek phaser replica for blasting begonias instead of the Borg.

First announced at CES 2026, the three new Matter-compatible smart locks are now available from Home Depot first, and then eventually Amazon. The $139.99 FamiLock E32 is an entry-level model with fingerprint recognition while the $299.99 E40 and E35 feature facial recognition or palm vein identification, respectively.

We’re still not sure whether Elon Musk will show up to ring the bell on Wall Street for tomorrow’s SpaceX IPO, but he’s already in the city — in the form of an effigy erected in Times Square. Like a similar protest this week outside WWDC, this one also targets Grok for enabling child abuse imagery.

Ikea stopped selling its smart blinds last October, so Eve is introducing a new version of its MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit with a motor that’s now compatible with roller blinds featuring small tube diameters, including Ikea’s popular Fridans blinds.
