The Intercept asked over 30 firms whether they’d use their data to help the Trump administration deport immigrants, but it only got four responses — and none of them were from Meta, Google, Microsoft, or Apple.

Someone has, for some reason, launched a campaign on Enron.com claiming a “bold new vision.” However, as many have pointed out, the site’s TOS identifies its information “first amendment protected parody,” in addition to what Sean O’Kane points out about its crypto / merch pitch.

Amazon has added games like Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Dredge, and Gunslinger: Call of Juarez to its list of free game downloads for Prime members.

That’s in addition to other freebies already offered, like Bioshock Remastered and the beautiful, H.R. Giger-inspired Scorn.

In an interview with the Financial Times, OpenAI’s new CFO Sarah Friar said that the startup was considering an ads model and it planned to be “thoughtful about when and where we implement” ads.

In a statement following the interview, though, Friar added:

“While we’re open to exploring other revenue streams in the future, we have no active plans to pursue advertising.”

Though none of Sony’s ads for Kraven the Hunter have done a great job making clear what the film’s appeal is meant to be, this lengthy new clip suggests that Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s smolder might be the whole point.

Following McDonald’s in China releasing a Tetris-playing nugget last year, KFC in Spain has created a Tamagotchi-like digital pet called the Eduardochi. It was originally sold through KFC’s website and app, but starting on December 3rd it will be available through KFC’s restaurants across Spain for €3.99 (around $4.20) with many of them hopefully ending up on eBay.

The SA X-Wing keycap set looks like it’s been through hell and patched up with whatever was on hand, just like a Rebel starfighter. It’s the rare Star Wars tie-in that feels like it understands the appeal of the universe.

The set isn’t new, but it’s on sale at Novelkeys for $75, from $225, which was enough to remind me how cool it is.

Even if Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’s “The Goonies, but in space” premise doesn’t sound like it’s up your alley, you gotta admit that this kid’s all-terrain hover bike is sick as hell. If this is the kind of heat the show’s bringing when it premieres tomorrow, it might be something really special.
