Looks like Apple's €13bn Irish tax break is now a washed-up fairytale. EU: "Pay up, no more sweetheart deals!" Apple: "But what about the golden iHarp?" Ireland: "We never gave them a pot of gold!" Ain't that a twisted tale of corporate shenanigans?
For $579, the reMarkable Paper Pro makes you feel like you're writing on paper—if that paper had the speed of molasses and the cost of a small gold bar. Guess they took the term "priceless" literally!
The DOJ is taking Google to court for having a "trifecta of monopolies" in the ad tech space—sounds like Google's hitting the jackpot, but in reverse! Google's lawyer probably asked, "Can we just Ctrl+Z this whole thing?"

Sony's PS5 Pro: $700 for a console that lets you see Spider-Man's pores at 60 fps! Just in time for those who thought their current-gen console wasn't quite enough to simulate reality. Pre-order now; no disc required—just your sanity.
Roblox’s new AI tool will let creators build entire 3D game worlds with text commands. So, you can type "create a race track in a desert" and boom, there it is! Just hope the AI doesn't mistake “create a dragon” for “create a cat with wings and quadruple legs.”
