Apple TV+ usually sticks with its roster of exclusive shows. But for the next month, subscribers can stream 50 limited-time studio films, including some not available on other subscription services, like “Captain Phillips,” “The Accountant” and “Argo.” (Tempted? New subs are $9.99 monthly after a free seven-day trial.)

Update your iPhone: iOS 17.4 includes bug fixes and new features like podcast transcripts and stricter theft protection. Plus … drumroll, please … new emojis (lime, mushroom and a shaking head)! But the biggest change is only for Europeans (insert new shaking-head emoji).

A new study predicts using search engines like Google may soon be a thing of the past as more people turn to AI chatbots for answers. I totally called this one in November 2022.

Disposable EVs: Starting April 1, Nissan is pulling the plug on app support for its OG electric cars like the Leaf and e-NV200, leaving around pre-2016 vehicles a bit less smart. Nissan’s advice? Use the car’s built-in systems or buy an “upgrade” — ahem, a new car. Gee, thanks.

Zuck hacked? Facebook, Instagram and Threads were all down for two hours yesterday. Consider that financial impact for a sec — huge. Meta says it was having “technical difficulties.” Well, that’s the biggest pile of BS I’ve heard in a while. They must believe we are a bunch of dopes.

AmEx users, beware: A data breach exposed card account numbers, names, expiration dates, you name it. American Express says you won’t pay if someone uses your card. Uh, I sure hope so.
