Apple's self-preferencing hardware treatment strikes again with the new rePebble Smart Watch: I want to set expectations accordingly. We will build a good app for iOS, but be prepared - there is no way for us to support all the functionality that Apple Watch has access to. It’
Channel 7 has posted a bunch of raw footage from the PS2 launch in 2000.
The PlayStation 2 is now 25 years old, and Channel 7 has the footage to prove it.
In a time before smartphone video, it's a cool little time capsule of Australian retail and the hype around the launch of the Sony console.
2Day FM Sydney is ditching its crusty music format for a fresh new one, which is a shock in a market that almost entirely caters mainly to older millennials with "throwbacks" galore. It's gotten so bad that Triple J, a previously 'alternative' station, now
You can get a real skateboard deck with your copy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4.
Not only is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 now official, there's also a pretty wild physical Collector's Edition that comes with a real skateboard deck.
If we do the math, the physical Collector's Edition is $124 more expensive than the digital version, meaning you're paying a pretty penny for the included deck.
But if that's not enough to dissuade, JB Hi-Fi has it for $229 and EB Games has it for $229.95.
The normal game is available for $84 physically or around $75 on digital storefronts and launches July 11 on PlayStation 4 + 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam and Nintendo Switch.

Max launches in Australia March 31, putting Binge in limbo.
There's a a big shake up coming for Foxtel, specifically Foxtel's Binge. Another streaming platform is launching in Australia, with Warner Bros. Discovery today announcing the local launch date for Max. The service will start March 31, but other details are still a little unclear. Previously known as HBO Max, but also confusingly hosting both HBO Originals and Max Originals, the service has been available in the US since 2020.
It looks like the service will launch with exclusive access to HBO programming, as well as other Warner Bros. Discovery properties. Which does might put Binge in a bit of limbo, if we're reading this literally.
Via Whistleout:
A spokesperson for WBD confirmed to WhistleOut that new Warner Bros. and HBO content won't premiere on Binge. Hubbl has started bringing some live and on-demand Kayo Sports over to Binge to add value to the service.
WhistleOut has reached out to Foxtel for comment on what will happen to the existing catalogue of HBO content on Binge.
And from the press release:
As the home of HBO Originals and Max Originals, Max will offer fans culture-defining series including returning seasons of The Last of Us, And Just Like That..., House of the Dragon, Euphoria and Peacemaker as well as highly anticipated new shows such as It: Welcome to Derry and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, from the world of Game of Thrones.
Subscribers will also be able to enjoy recently released theatrical hits from Warner Bros. Pictures, including blockbusters from the last few years such as Barbie, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice and Twisters, alongside treasured franchises including Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the DC Universe. Coupled with all-time fan-favourites including Friends, The Big Bang Theory and Rick and Morty, best-in-class real-life stories across food, home, lifestyle and factual like 90 Day Fiancé and Outback Opal Hunters, as well as family viewing such as Ben 10 and We Bare Bears, Max promises to set the bar for consistently captivating, craveable entertainment.
In addition, WBD also announced a launch partnership with Foxtel, providing Foxtel subscribers with access to the Max app at no additional cost.*
*Requires a compatible Foxtel IQ box. Some customers will need to upgrade their box. Included Max plan is Basic with Ads.

While the late-night talk show genre is still alive and well in the US, the format hasn't been very active in Australia in decades. The Late Show, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and others still grace US screens with timeslots as late as 11:35pm, and even
The 150-year-old font you've seen everywhere, but never heard of.
A gorgeous story from Marcin Wichary about the 150-year-old font that can still be seen everywhere. Even Australia, as the author notes.
But there was one font I didn’t even notice, even though it was everywhere around me. Last year in New York, I walked over 100 miles and took thousands of photos of one and one font only. The font’s name is Gorton.
[...]
Gorton made its way to peace- and wartime nuclear facilities, it was there on the elevator at the Kennedy Space Center with labels marked EARTH and SPACE… and it went to actual space, and then the Moon, as key legends on Apollo’s onboard computer.

A nice AEW Grand Slam in Brisbane.
The only way I can make this post relevant is to mention that ESPN is coming to Disney+. Not sure yet if that will include All Elite Wrestling content.
The YouTube algorithm fed me some good slop today in the form of US network CBS's 1997 fall campaign, weirdly pitched as "The Address Is CBS". How can an address be a TV channel? Who knows. But watching it back, it is weird to see this
Flashes, a new app powered by Bluesky, is surprisingly polished for a Testflight release. The app takes your Bluesky feed and gives it the appearance of classic Instagram - a reverse-chronological feed of images from people you follow. There are profile pages, search, notifications and even trending topics. If you
DeepSeek is apparently not being very ethical when it comes to AI! Not only has the company created its own model by allegedly using closed-source OpenAI outputs to create an open-source alternative, but it is also copying IP from the company. The horror! Both OpenAI and President Donald Trump'
