Nationals Nationals WASHINGTON — An easy way for athletes to show they’re embracing the city they play in is to support the other professional teams nearby. Luke Voit didn’t have the chance to do that in San Diego, where the Padres are the only team in town. But when arrived in D.C. as part of the Juan Soto/Josh Bell trade, he already had a Wizards jersey ready. Voit, 31, has pulled out his Bradley Beal threads for pregame drills on multiple occasions during his first month with the Nationals. Both Voit and Beal hail from the St. Louis-metro area and while they’ve never met, the Wizards’ star shooting guard shouted him out on Twitter when the Nationals posted a few photos of the sleeveless first baseman working on the infield. “Just cool rocking some guys from the same hometown,” Voit said. “It was sitting in my closet, I was like, ‘Might as well rock it in here and rock D.C. a little bit.’” Playing in Washington has been an adjustment for Voit,  » Read More

The company behind last summer’s hot social app Poparazzi appears to be readying a round two following its $15 million Series A announced in June. A new listing in the App Store under the developer’s account, TTYL, is teasing a pre-release app called Made With Friends. The app offers a twist on Poparazzi’s original concept of social networking profiles crafted by a user’s friends, instead of by the users themselves, but adds support for other types of content. Poparazzi had encouraged friends to post photos to each others’ social networking profiles as if they were their friends’ “paparazzi” — hence the name. Made With Friends, meanwhile, expands on that concept by asking users to post all sorts of things to their friends’ profiles — including text-based content like answers to questions or prompts, as well as photos and videos. This Poparazzi spin-off seems partly inspired by today’s popular Q&A apps, like Sendit or NGL, which tie into other social networks, like Snapchat and Instagram.  » Read More

There is a concrete possibility that the google-pixel-news-in-development-for-the-at-a-glance-widget-rumor/"Google Pixel tablet will only support 64-bit apps, thus abandoning the 32-bit ones, and it cannot be excluded that the same fate touches android 14 more generally. Esper. For the avoidance of doubt, the abandonment of 32-bit has already been underway for some time, and at this point it represents little more than a formality, given that already from 2019 the Play Store accepts only 64-bit apps. PIXEL TABLET Above you can see the screenshot of the commit for the passage to only 64 bit of the Pixel Tablet (whose code name, as confirmed by previous investigations, is precisely Tangor). According to the rumors and reconstructions that have emerged so far, the device will still come with Android 13, but a special version able to run only apps with more modern architecture. It remains to be seen if this OS will become a real “Tablet Edition” also offered to third-party manufacturers or if Google will keep it for itself.  » Read More

Twitter's strategy with adding new features has pretty much consisted of shoving stuff up the noses of users and seeing what sticks. And to Twitter's credit, it occasionally works. Spaces has been pretty successful on its own and it has stayed relevant despite a dip in popularity of Clubhouse, the app it borrowed its main concept from. The app is venturing further into the audio space by adding a new podcasts feature to Spaces. It's not a bad idea in itself — after all, making a good new thing better should be one of the company's biggest priorities right now. We're normally less than confident on Twitter's additions after flubs like NFT profile pictures and Fleets. But if executed right, Twitter just may be able to earn some new stripes and gain some real popularity — perhaps surpassing Snapchat and coming up to the likes of Facebook. What are Twitter podcasts? The addition of podcasts to Twitter was recently announced by the company after it was previously leaked.  » Read More
