| It's Wednesday, May 16, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. This morning, Amazon is adding to its Prime subscription with new discounts at Whole Foods, while PicoBrew has a new universal countertop machine. Plus: our first impressions of Disney’s ESPN+ streaming service and what it means for cord-cutting sports fans. The massive collaborative screen is described as a “huddle board.” Seeing someone rotate a 50.5-inch 4K+ screen is surprising -- at first. | | For a few months, anyway. Version 66 of the Chrome browser muted autoplaying audio by default to snuff out annoying web popups. The problem, however, is that it also cut out the sound on a number of interactive pages and games that aren’t ads at all. Now Google has pushed a new update that reverts the change for pages that use the WebAudio API, promising a temporary reprieve until Chrome 70 arrives later this year. | | It’s easy. Watch Ariana Grande sing "No Tears Left to Cry" accompanied by Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon and members of The Roots on Nintendo Labo instruments. | | Sponsored Content by StackCommerce | | An entire galaxy of countertop brewing awaits. Meet Pico’s new universal brewing machine, capable of making beer, coffee, tea, kombucha, horchata and a host of other drinks. There are parts you'll need to swap in and out depending on what you're making, like the basket for coffee grounds and various sized filters for beer or other beverages. The biggest difference between the Pico U and its predecessor, though, is in its size, materials and price. The all-plastic U is much smaller than the Pico C and is available to Kickstarter backers for $169. | | Look for the yellow and blue signs. As Amazon Prime’s yearly rate increases to $119, the company is deepening its ties to Whole Foods. Now subscribers will get an additional 10 percent discount on sale items and deep discounts on select best-selling items every week. For now, the discounts are only available in Florida, but they’re rolling out nationwide this summer. | | ‘Essential for the cord-cutting sports fan.’ ESPN+ won't completely cure your live-sports withdrawal if you've already cut the cord. However, that doesn't mean it isn't a great deal -- especially if you like MLS and baseball (MLB or college). Then, the only real tradeoff is the loss of studio shows. | | Intelligent Drive is pretty smart but also overly cautious. Usually, adaptive cruise control makes sense in areas where you’ll be following another car in case a bend in the road requires slowing down. But in the Mercedes S560, you can set it and forget it, thanks to data from Here maps that makes sure the convertible is moving at a safe speed. Roberto Baldwin explains why it’s “weird, helpful and an important step toward cars driving themselves safely.” | | But wait, there's more... | | | |
