Cosmos and Earth. Paging Carl Sagan! The EV company announced the names at its Investor Day in New York City today. Both are expected to be mid-sized crossover SUVs, with an estimated starting price of $50,000. That makes the Lucid Earth and Cosmos incredibly important to the company’s long-term future — sort of similar to the Rivian R2. If Lucid wants to break into the mainstream, it needs to sell more affordable vehicles.

Ahead of Apple’s milestone anniversary on April 1st, Cook wrote a letter reflecting on Apple’s history:

YouTube performance artist-turned-metal singer Poppy is narrating the English version of an audio-only adaptation of a short story from horror manga master Junji Ito. Oh, and it’ll only be available on vinyl. You can check out the Kickstarter campaign here, and stay tuned for more on this project from me very soon.

The company’s skinny PencilVacs come with charging stands, but Dyson’s new Clean+Wash Hygiene includes a dock that uses hot air to dry the cleaner’s microfiber roller after a self-cleaning cycle to help reduce bacteria growth and odors. It’s available now for $499 from Amazon and Dyson’s retail locations and online store.

Some Lloyds Bank, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland app users reported they were briefly able to view charges and payments made by other people on their accounts. Lloyds Banking Group, which owns all three banks, says the issue was “quickly identified and resolved,” and that it’s “reviewing what happened to ensure this cannot occur again.”

If you can’t wait until March 26th for the official reveal, New Camera has shared a leaked video of the DJI Avata 360 showing off its tilting camera module that works in 360-degree and FPV modes. Reliable leaker Igor Bogdanov has also shared some of the drone’s specs, including a 23-minute flight time and a 20km range.

If you needed another reason to consider Apple’s new entry-level laptop, YouTube’s Tech Re-Nu shared a teardown of the MacBook Neo. Inside they found most components secured with just screws, including modular USB-C ports that are easy to replace. The only part that uses glue is the cable connecting the trackpad to the mainboard.

The ridehail service is launching a new premium offering for anyone who thinks Uber Black is too pedestrian. Uber Elite will be invite-only and feature commercially licensed professional chauffeurs driving new-model luxury vehicles – less than three years old – such as the Cadillac Escalade, Lucid Air and Lincoln Navigator. Each ride includes complimentary ammenities such as chargers, bottled water, mints, and hand-sanitizing towelettes. It’s currently only available in LA and San Francisco, and soon in New York City – with more US and international cities to follow.

It’s called Channel Surfer, and it presents YouTube as an old-school grid of TV channels, which you can flip though to see what’s on. All the simplicity of watching cable in a hotel room; all the videos you actually want to watch. It’s fun on its own, but it feels like magic as soon as you import your own subscriptions to create personalized channels.

The EV maker has been granted a license to supply electricity to British households and businesses, mirroring its similar business in Texas. The approval doesn’t include dual gas/electric fuel contracts, however, and local supplier Octopus Energy already allows Powerwall battery owners to sell energy back to the grid.

Microsoft’s big GDC announcement turned out to be bringing Xbox mode to every Windows 11 PC, starting next month. It’s the latest encouraging sign after Xbox’s big leadership shakeup, but Microsoft has work to do to earn back users’ trust.

The companies aim to launch a pilot program in Tokyo by late 2026, allowing Uber riders to book robotaxis based on the Nissan Leaf EV, powered by Wayve’s autonomous driving tech. In its press release, Uber said:

Epic and Google are settling, but the US version of the plan still rests in Judge Donato’s hands. He’s asking for “friend of the court” briefs in early April, meaning it’ll be longer before he makes a decision.

The feature, announced as part of various updates alongside the GDC Festival of Gaming, is rolling out to select games to start, including Brotato: Premium. Also: free 60-minute game demos, ones that let gamers pick up where they left off after they pay.
