It's Friday, January 31, 2020. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.  Super Bowl LIV weekend is finally here, and for the first time, we can watch at home with a faux-K feed (it’s really 1080p, but it looks great and supports HDR in some cases). Of course, there had to be a catch, and a dispute between Fox and Roku may keep people from using that smart TV platform to tune in on Sunday. There are alternatives, including Amazon’s $35 Fire TV 4K stick or signing up for a free trial of Fubo TV, but really, who needs another complication? -- Richard (Read in browser) The next step?

Apple Maps didn’t launch with success. Comparatively skeletal, its competition did everything better. But Apple didn’t give up. It has been rebuilding the most fundamental part of the experience -- the base maps themselves. For at least the past six months, the company has been pushing live more accurate maps with better represented coastlines, airports and malls. And today the company says it's finally done. Well, in the United States, anyway.
| | Contrary to my fever dreams.  Nintendo will start selling a special Animal Crossing Switch in March, but it won't be releasing a brand-new model this year. Shuntaro Furukawa, the gaming giant's president and CEO, has laid rumors to rest that an upgraded version of the console is on the way. In a call with investors, the executive said the company had “no plans to launch a new Nintendo Switch model during 2020.” No Switch Pro, at least for now. In the middle of 2019, Nintendo released an upgraded Switch with a longer battery life than the original -- so that might be your best bet for the most-capable Switch console.

 Get ready for a rebirth of the Hummer as an all-electric truck, with a full reveal due on May 20th. So far, we’ve seen its grill in a 15-second teaser, and a 30-second ad will air during the Super Bowl. As far as specs, GMC estimates the new Hummer will have up to 1,000HP, a peak 11,500lb/ft of torque and a 0-to-60 time of around three seconds -- a fair rival for the triple-motor Tesla Cybertruck if everything holds up. | | Sponsored Content by Stack Commerce | |
