The VR Disney Plus app on Meta Quest now has 3D movies
Disney is bringing more than 60 3D movies to the Disney Plus app on Meta Quest. The movies will be available to Disney Plus subscribers as part of an updated Disney Plus app that's rolling out today.
The 3D movies you can check out include The Avengers and Black Panther, Meta says. But the updated Quest app doesn't just offer 3D movies; you'll also be able to see some films in themed, immersive virtual environments, like a Tatooine environment when watching Star Wars: A New Hope or a Scare Floor one for Monsters, Inc. I got to see an Avengers-themed immersive environment for myself while trying Meta's forthcoming VR Glasses in September, an …
Oura is acquiring medical AI chatbot startup Counsel Health
Oura announced its quarterly earnings today and said it agreed to acquire Counsel Health for $625 million, after adding the company's AI chatbot to its app earlier this year. Counsel Health calls itself an "AI-native primary care company," using the app to deliver AI-generated responses and insights based on users' health data reported from their wearables that can then proceed to a conversation with one of its in-house physicians.
Oura says it expects the deal to close before the end of the year.
Oura CEO Tom Hale said in an interview with Bloomberg that the acquisition is part of a plan to connect wearables, clinical AI, and access to do …
Sony cancels live-service shooter Fairgames
Sony has canceled Fairgames, a heist game announced in 2023, according to Bloomberg. Fairgames had once been part of Sony's big planned push for PlayStation live service games, but the company ended up canceling some planned live service titles, including in the God of War and The Last of Us franchises, and it shut down Concord shortly after its failed launch.
The Fairgames cancellation won't result in job cuts, and developer Haven Studios will now support other PlayStation studios, Bloomberg reports. The game was canceled following a recent test where "player feedback and retention results were mixed and fell short of the goals we had set, …
The PlayStation Plus PC app is shutting down next month
Sony is retiring the PlayStation Plus app for PC on December 10th. Sony says it will notify users directly about the shutdown. The app allowed PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers to stream certain games on PC, but according to Sony, not many people are using that perk:
With a very small number of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members (less than 0.4%) using the PlayStation Plus app on PC, making this change allows us to focus on enhancing high-quality experiences that more of our members want to use. As a result, the PlayStation Plus cloud streaming app on PC will no longer be available.
PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can still …
Starlink Mini 2 adds a swappable battery
SpaceX announced a new version of its all-in-one satellite internet terminal that integrates a dish, Wi-Fi router, and now a battery into a single device about the size of a laptop. According to some users on X who shared screenshots of invitations to order Starlink Mini 2, the dish is priced at $999, which includes a full year of Roam Unlimited service that SpaceX values at $2,100.
The Starlink Mini 2 will run for up to 4.5 hours on a full charge, SpaceX claims, but that can be expanded by hot-swapping in additional batteries that will be sold separately, or by connecting the dish to a 60W power source over USB-C.
Despite the addition of …
The US is winning the AI race. Jensen Huang could have blown it
As espionage targets go, Jensen Huang is perhaps one of the least surprising on Earth. The Nvidia CEO runs one of the world's most valuable companies, controls the in-demand technology fueling the AI boom, and is cozy with presidents, CEOs, and all manner of important people. He also wears a cool leather jacket.
Which makes Huang's admission that he had an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy - reportedly while her spying was known to US intelligence and even President Donald Trump - all the more shocking. The fallout goes well beyond his marriage, his reputation, or Nvidia itself. Experts tell The Verge the incident threate …
Google’s Pixel Tag tracker is now available
After years of third-party Android trackers from companies like Samsung, Motorola, and Pebblebee, Google's Pixel Tag is now available for purchase. First announced in August, the Pixel Tag is designed to work with Google's tracking network and app that was renamed the Find Hub last year. The Pixel Tag is priced similar to Apple's AirTag 2. A single tracker costs $29.99 while a four-pack is discounted to $99.99.
At 0.4 ounces, the Pixel Tag is slightly lighter than the AirTag 2 and while its oblong design is longer than Apple's tracker, Google's is a bit thinner. It doesn't include a hole to attach it to keys, luggage, or other items you wan …
Google is making Pixel HiLight slightly more useful
Google is adding a new feature to its underwhelming HiLight light on the back of Pixel 11 Pro phones: As part of the November 2026 Pixel Drop, the light can light up when you get Google Messages texts from your favorite contacts. Sure, it's a small addition to the disappointing ways you could use HiLight at the Pixel 11 Pro's August launch, which included glowing when you used Gemini and lighting up for calls from your favorite contacts. But it's something!
Fortunately, that's not everything included in the Pixel Drop, as a bunch of other new features are coming to a wider range of Pixel devices. The "Create My Widget" feature to build a cu …
One of our favorite multi-filament 3D printers is $100 off
If you’re tired of filament jams and clogged nozzles, perhaps it’s time for a new 3D printer. Through December 1st, the Bambu Lab P2S Combo, currently one of the best models that’s easy to use, is discounted. It’s $649 at Best Buy, as well as directly from Bambu Lab. That’s $100 off the list price for the bundle, which includes the Bambu P2S printer and the AMS 2 Pro multi-filament handler for multicolor prints.
Bambu Lab P2S Combo
Bambu Lab’s P2S Combo is a 3D printer that can print in multiple colors and automatically dry its materials to help improve print quality. It also features a 5-inch touchscreen, a built-in camera for monitoring prints remotely, and AI-powered tools that can detect printing problems.
Where to Buy:
My colleague Sean Hollister praised the P2S printer for its consistency and hands-off approach to 3D printing. Automatic bed leveling, including a warning if you forget to reinstall the plate, and a bevy of sensors helps ensure every print goes smoothly. There’s a live camera feed, too, so you can check in on your prints or share a timelapse. On its own, the P2S printer is usually $549, but is also currently $100 off.
The AMS 2 Pro’s filament handler’s fully enclosed setup saves your filament from absorbing moisture and clogging the nozzle or tubes. As a result, you can go weeks between prints and fire one off from your computer without checking on colors or manually swapping filaments. The AMS 2 Pro itself is typically $299, but is currently on sale for $229, and the P2S printer supports up to four AMS 2 Pro units simultaneously.
