Google has finally added Find Hub alerts when you leave a tracker behind.

After Google previewed the feature when it announced the Pixel Tag tracker in August, Android’s Find Hub is finally getting ”Notify when left behind” alerts for trackers including third-party options like the Moto Tag, as spotted by 9to5Google. It’s a feature you can activate in the Find Hub app on a per tracker basis, and it includes an exception for your home address.

The Stranger Things Tamagotchi ups the challenge with an upside down screen.

If you prefer your virtual pets with a side of gimmick, Netflix and Bandai have collaborated on a new Tamagotchi featuring a Stranger Things-inspired design, and an inverted screen. Functionally it’s the same as a standard Tamagotchi, but you’ll have to get used to raising your pet in the simulated upside down world when it launches next February for around $20.

If you’re into incredibly uncomfortable listens (as you’ve probably guessed based on previous posts: I am), might I suggest Piss’ you made me / skin on linen. To soothe my frayed nerves after another spin of that, I’ll probably need to pick up the new William Basinski as well.

Meta is delaying its controversial new business terms indefinitely.

The new terms had come under scrutiny over language that appeared to give Meta broad leeway to train AI on scraped publisher content, even after the company updated them.

Meta said last week it expected to delay implementation past November 20th (which itself was a delayed date). Now, Meta states on its website that the new terms “will not take effect on November 20, 2026,” as reported by Nieman Lab.
