It's Wednesday, May 02, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. We’re getting ready for the second day of Facebook’s F8 event, but you can catch up with all the day-one announcements before the second keynote speech starts at noon ET. Oh, and there was a big Fortnite update. We're upgrading Engadget's daily newsletter and want to hear from you. Tell us exactly what you think by emailing us atthemorningafter(at)engadget.com.
