Komoot is helping me get back on my bike after a long hiatus

The company says it stopped accepting new sign-ups for API access and that developers will have until June 30th, 2025 to migrate from Google Fit to Android Health.
For now, the Google Fit app still works as it always has; just know that it seems bound for the Google graveyard next year.

Instagram boss Adam Mosseri posted that Threads users can now limit who can quote their posts.
Or so TechCrunch writes — Mosseri’s post seems to be gone, but the feature is there for me. If you have it too, you’ll see “Anyone can reply & quote” at the bottom when starting a new post to get the new options.
I haven’t been following Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, so heading into this first clip, I had no clue what was going on. I still don’t.
It seems like Adam Driver is testing his apparent ability to stop time, but I feel like there are better ways to do that. Megalopolis debuts at Cannes on May 17th. No word yet on a wider release.
On The Vergecast: the state and future of AI gadgets, the next iPads, and the billion-dollar AI race.
Here’s your reminder that Disney’s latest animated anthology series, Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, started streaming today.
The six-episode miniseries may not quite be enough to tide everyone over until The Acolyte’s June 4th release, though — the longest episode clocks in at just 19 minutes.
The debut feature from director Jérémie Périn has hints of Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner but manages to carve out its own distinct vibe.
If you’ve already read our review of the Rabbit R1 but haven’t gotten around to watching the video version of it, what better time than now?
The contest (rules here) runs from May 4th through June 4th. Autodesk provides certain assets like the Star Wars alphabet and symbols, as well as 30 day free trials of Autodesk software.
Prizes include Autodesk fabricating the winning overall droid and a paid trip for the winning designer (with lodging and a plus one!) to San Francisco to tour Industrial Light and Magic Studios.
The limited-edition DockLite G4, from Australian DIY tech company Juicy Crumb, gives the 20-inch iMac G4 an HDMI port. So YouTuber Action Retro decided to combine that with the guts of an M2 Mac Mini to turn his 20-incher into a modern machine.
Shame that the DockLite G4 doesn’t work with other versions of the prettiest iMac ever made, because a used 20-inch ain’t cheap.
I had forgotten about the 80s and 90s trope of pulling a headphone speaker away from some hapless, distracted youth’s head to tell them something.
But the LSU library used it to great effect while promoting the fact that you could ask its weirdly condescending librarians to print up R.E.M. song lyrics using the new-fangled World Wide Web.
On the brink of bankruptcy, the struggling automaker is facing a nearly $13 million lawsuit by the firm (a subsidiary of Bertrand AG) that developed the Pear crossover and the Alaska pickup truck. Fisker, which says the lawsuit is “without merit,” also apparently hasn’t paid its own automotive carpet supplier.
We found all sorts of gadgets and goodies to celebrate the class of 2024, from the practical to the poignant.
If you’ve got a good HDR monitor or a recent MacBook Pro, you can even check out some sample images here in Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers. More details in Dolphin’s big progress report.
“Our HDR enhancements are not magic. Expect quirks and problems,” MayImilae and co warn.
We found a collection of unique gift ideas that go beyond the flowers and chocolates that typically rule the day.
Star Wars Day doesn’t technically kick off until May 4th, but Apple is celebrating the event a bit early with a precision finding-focused iPhone 15 ad spot starring a squad of (cosplayer) Mandalorians.
I’ve held this in for long enough. For the past week, while the internet talks non-stop about the very poorly reviewed AI-powered Rabbit, all I (and probably all women of a certain generation) have been thinking is, Who was in charge of naming this thing? Were there no women in the room?
News flash: there’s already a gadget named the Rabbit and it is very well reviewed. If there were ever a case for diversifying leadership in the tech world, this is it.
The director explains why you need to see his new film, Evil Does Not Exist, two or three times to understand the ending.
The Leica APO-Telyt-R 1600mm f/5.6 can take portrait photos from far away. Digital Camera World writes that Leica conceived the lens in 2006 at the request of former Qatari Minister of Culture Sheikh Saud Bin Mohammed Al-Thani. It’s so rare that there’s only three in existence.
It’s also so heavy that it takes two people to lift it onto a table.
We’re about to get faster, slimmer, better-looking Apple tablets. What we need is the ecosystem and the software this shapeshifting device deserves.
The auditor of Truth Social is a “sham audit mill,” according to the Securities and Exchange Commission. It has been charged with “massive fraud” for its “deliberate and systemic” failures. Apparently the firm can’t even spell its own name right.

You may not like it, but I’m having a hard time finding issue with how Microsoft-owned GitHub wiped 8,535 forks of Switch emulator Yuzu off the web. It says it warned repo owners, let ‘em make changes, let them submit DMCA counternotices, and publicly posted Nintendo’s takedown request.
That’s a lot more than we can say for Discord and GitLab!
