- Nearly half of streaming subscriptions are for plans with ads — I wonder how many of these ad-supported subscriptions are ones bundled with other services. For example, I get ad-supported Hulu included with my phone plan. I rarely watch anything on Hulu (because of the ads), and if it wasn’t free, then I wouldn’t bother with it at all.

- OpenAI is buying Jony Ive’s AI hardware company
- PlayStation Stars burns out — PlayStation Stars was a frustrating rewards program (as are most rewards programs now). As a casual gamer, every time I would get close to having enough points for the one reward with any value (a $5 gift card), my points would expire.

- Mozilla is shutting down Pocket — I’ve used Pocket for years. Last year I shopped around for a new read it later app as I was somewhat unhappy with Pocket. I initially decided on Omnivore before deciding to go back to Pocket. I thought I dodged a bullet as Omnivore shut down a few months later, but it looks like my decision to stick with Pocket finally caught up with me.

- Two-time Stanley Cup winner Mike Sullivan out as Penguins coach — I really thought Sullivan would stick around to close out the Sidney Crosby era. He’s a great coach, but it sounds like maybe he wasn’t happy about waiting out the Penguins rebuild. Predictably, he wasn’t unemployed for long, as the Rangers gave him a huge pay day.
