• Sony has announced it will stop releasing PlayStation games on disc in 2028.  (BBC)

• Google has turned the rest of the internet into sopranos.  (9to5Google)
  
  Google acquired GIF library service Tenor in 2018, and just recently cut off API access so nobody else can integrate with it.

• You had one job.  (Easy Opt Outs)
  
  Apple's "Hide my email" service doesn't.
  
  
  
• Meta is looking to lease out its unused datacenter capacity to functional AI companies.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  Probably a good idea.
  
  
  
• Before the DRAM Apocalypse, Micron was viewed as nothing more than a commodity component manufacturer.  (WCCFTech)
