TikTok is a rising news source. A Pew Survey says it is now second only to X, with 35% of users finding news they don’t see elsewhere. As TikTok’s influence grows, lawmakers are raising concerns about its impact on younger viewers.
Metallica is coming to Fortnite. The band will headline a virtual concert, titled Fuel Fire Fury, on June 22nd and 23rd. Three in-game concerts will happen on each of the two days and unique gameplay options and experiences are expected.
Jaba is exiting the consumer earbud market. After launching new Elite models, the company says it’s too costly to compete. JAba will focus on enterprise and gaming products while continuing to support for existing Elite airbuds with software updates.
