If Elon Musk is actively trying to drive advertisers away from his floundering social media site X, then he’s doing a really fantastic job of it. Fresh off spurring a maelstrom of criticism over a tweet that was broadly decried as antisemitic (and which led to an outflux of advertisers), Musk has now decided to dip…
The Boys has continued to have success with its spinoffs, so Prime Video figured, why stop now? Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer is teaming up with executive producers Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal for The Boys: Mexico.
Hyundai is on a design roll these days. Everything that’s coming out of the brand’s South Korean design studios looks fresh and interesting, and that’s very much the case with the new Santa Fe. Dropping next year, the 2024 Santa Fe looks nothing like the current car. In fact it looks more like a Land Rover, but still has a look all its own.
It has a selection of great tech, too, like dual wireless chargers, dual 12.3-inch displays and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Plus, with three rows of seating, the Santa Fe hauls more folks and more cargo than ever before. Two engines will be on offer: a 2.5-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder making 277 horsepower and a 1.6-liter hybrid, with 232 ponies.
But what’s it like to drive? And is that third row actually usable? We headed to South Korea to find out. Watch the video below for the full story.

Google Drive users are expressing frustration as recent files stored in the cloud have seemingly vanished, with the service reverting to a storage snapshot from around April-May 2023. Google Drive, a widely utilized cloud-based storage service, enables users to store and retrieve files across various devices through their Google accounts.
Complaints emerged on Google’s support forums last week, detailing the loss of recent data and alterations to folder structures. Users emphasized the severity of the issue, with one stating, “I pay extra each month to store folders in the cloud so that it is safe, so it is devastating that all my work appears to have been lost.”
Despite affected users reporting no recent changes in activity logs, ruling out accidental deletion, the problem seems to lie within the service’s system. There are no known methods to restore missing data from offline caches, adding to user frustration.
Google’s volunteer support agents shared a response from the company’s support engineers, acknowledging the ongoing investigation. However, no estimated timeline for a resolution has been provided.
In the absence of effective assistance from Google’s support forums, users are cautioned against modifying the root/data folder until the situation is clarified and the root cause identified. This recommendation aims to avoid complicating the recovery process.
The loss of critical data entrusted to the cloud has understandably agitated users, particularly those who paid for file hosting — Google’s support forums, managed by volunteers with limited insight into the cloud service, exacerbate the lack of effective assistance for critical issues.
Efforts to obtain an update from Google on the internal investigation and the recoverability of lost files have not yielded a response at the time of publication. In the interim, affected users are advised to refrain from altering their cloud storage, consider local file backups, or explore alternative cloud services until the issue is resolved.

Cyber Monday may be over, but there are still a few deals on the PlayStation 5 lingering on the internet today. You can save $50 on the console by itself, or about $60 if you pick up the PS5 with the latest Spider-Man game. Color options are slim, but you can still save upwards of $25 on PS5 controllers today, and there are a number of PS5 game deals still to be had as well. Here are the best PS5 games you can still get even now that Cyber Monday has come and gone.
If you’re happy to go disc-free, Amazon has the month-old PS5 Slim console bundled with a digital code for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which Engadget found to be “bigger and better” than the 2018 original, for $499 ($60 off). Sony’s “Slim” PS5 console (officially called the PS5 Digital Edition) removes the system’s disc drive but lets you change your mind later. Unlike previous digital variants, the disc drive is a modular attachment you can add later as a separate $80 purchase.
You can also get the console with Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III for the same price. This is the latest version of the gaming system with its removable disc drive already included and mounted. You also get a digital copy of the newest Call of Duty game, which includes remastered versions of all 16 maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009).
A GameStop Cyber Monday deal has the PS5 console on sale for $450 ($50 off). This standard model includes a built-in disc drive that lets you choose between physical discs (without any extra purchases) or digital downloads of your favorite games.
Unfortunately, most of the best deals we saw on PS5 games over the weekend are gone now. However, you can still get the dramatic action-RPG Final Fantasy XVI is still down to $35. The well-reviewed turn-based RPG Octopath Traveler II is still available for $30 and Assassin’s Creed Mirage remains $20 off at $40. Sony has also started an “End of Year Deals” sale with a few OK discounts on first-party games, including the wholesome action game Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and the open-world samurai game Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut for $30 each.

Apple Music’s full year-end Replay experience has arrived. Although elements of the personalized recap are available year-round (including a continually updating playlist), the company spruces up its web interface this time of year for a sleeker presentation as you reflect on your 2023 listening habits. Apple Music also announced its Artist of the Year (Taylor Swift, who you may have heard of) and subscribers’ top choices in various categories.
If you listened to Apple Music this year, you can head to the service’s Replay 2023 website and log into your account to view a rundown of the music you enjoyed during the last 12 months. It lists your most-streamed artists, songs, albums, genres, playlists and stations.
It also includes a highlight video summarizing your habits, which you can share with friends and family or on social channels. If you reach any milestones, like listening to 25,000 minutes of music, it will reveal exactly when you hit them. Apple says Replay 2023 will also tell you if you rank among an artist’s top listeners.
Taylor Swift had a busy year, and her Apple Music streams unsurprisingly reflect that. The platform’s Artist of the Year had 65 songs reach its Global Daily Top 100, more than any other artist. The pop icon was also the most streamed artist on the platform in 2023, setting a record for the most listeners in a single year. Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” took the top spot in Apple Music’s Top Songs of 2023: Global list. It was the first country song to top that chart since “Old Town Road” four years ago. “Last Night” enjoyed the most days at number one on the service’s Global Daily Top 100 chart.
World music has grown in popularity on the platform. Nigerian breakout artist Rema had the most Shazam’d song of the year with the Afrobeats tune “Calm Down.” Meanwhile, “Idol” by J-Pop duo Yoasobi was the most popular karaoke song using Apple Music’s Sing feature, and it also hit number seven on the year-end top songs chart, joined by fellow J-Pop track “Subtitle” by Official Hige Dandism. Música Mexicana also did well, with four tracks on the top 20 global songs list. These include “Ella Baila Sola” by Peso Pluma and Eslabon Armado, “un x100to” by Grupo Frontera and Bad Bunny, “PRC” by Peso Pluma and Natanael Cano and “Bebe Dame” from Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera.
Year-end rewinds have become a popular feature for streaming services, as people enjoy the self-expression and comedy that can come from sharing their tastes on social media. If recent years are any indication, you can expect Spotify and YouTube to reveal theirs within the coming days.
