Apple carved out a systematic plan over a period of four years to replace Android Auto in cars with its CarPlay software and not to forget its ambitious idea of manufacturing the Apple Car. So, the idea was simple- sell CarPlay to traditional car manufacturers while flaunting the platform on its own Apple car. Now, with Apple abandoning the idea of the Apple car, the only option is to target the dashboard (or screens) of modern cars with CarPlay. With large smart screens gaining prominence inside luxury cars, car brands can only partner with reliable software makers like Google, Apple and others, even Samsung!
With a single bloody episode, X-Men ’97 has entered the ‘Magneto was right’ era

In the first half of its first season, X-Men ’97 has played it a little safe. That’s not to say things haven’t been rather fun, as the show has put its own spin on the Inferno and Lifedeath storylines, on Magneto inheriting leadership of the X-Men, and on the birth of Nathan Summers — all pillars of X-Men continuity or beloved greatest-hit stories of the 1980s and 1990s.
But in its fifth episode, X-Men ’97 does something X-Men: The Animated Series never could have. What’s more, the show did it emphatically, boldly, and downright thrillingly: a half-hour workshop on what you get when the X-Men brands of soap opera, sci-fi action, and philosophy of the Other come together just right.
You get one of the best spectacles superhero comics can offer.
[Ed. note: This piece contains spoilers for “Remember It,” the fifth episode of X-Men ’97.]
This week on X-Men, the X-Men went to Genosha and they watched it fall.
Genosha is an island nation for mutants, first created by Chris Claremont and Rick Leonardi in 1988. If you’ve read any X-Men comics since 2019, Genosha probably sounds a lot like Krakoa, the island nation for mutants introduced in 2019’s House of X/Powers of X series. And writer Beau DeMayo and director Emi Yonemura definitely play with that resonance in “Remember It.”
Their version of Genosha is ruled by a “council” that includes Magneto, Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, and Nightcrawler, as a religious advisor. Moira MacTaggert is there too, with Exodus in cameo, as the X-Men attend a “gala” filled with mutant fashion and music — all Krakoan hallmarks.
But the episode’s silent cameos are loaded with post-1990s mutant students like Glob Herman, Pixie, and Nature Girl, and they’re an early warning sign that “Remember It” is merely weaving Krakoan packaging around the island of Genosha. Because while the story of Krakoa (even as it comes to an end) is of a mutant paradise, the story of Genosha is of a mutant genocide.
Claremont and Leonardi’s Genosha began its editorial existence as a totalitarian state that oppressed all mutants within its borders, intended as a direct metaphor for South African apartheid. But by the late 1990s, the original Genoshan government had been overthrown and replaced with a Magneto-led mutant state. That is, until 2001, when, in the second issue of Grant Morrison’s New X-Men, “E Is for Extinction (Part 2),” an anti-mutant supervillain massacred all 16 million mutants on the island in a day using a kaiju-sized, bug-shaped Sentinel robot and fleet. Which is exactly what happens in X-Men ’97’s “Remember It.”
X-Men ’97 leaves this question conspicuously dangling, at least in this episode. When Cable arrives from the future with a dire but vague warning — as he does here to

Star Wars Outlaws creative director says the Jedi "didn't even enter the picture" when deciding what the open-world game would be about
Star Wars Outlaws is set to launch later this year, and beyond offering an open world to explore, it's also going to allow players to step into the shoes of a scoundrel named Kay Vess. Needless to say, it's shaping up to be quite a departure from the lightsaber-swinging action we're used to from the recent Star Wars Jedi games, but the creative director of Outlaws says that the idea of having Jedi at the forefront of the game "didn't even enter the picture."

Game Changer’s first great mindfuck of the season was a simple game of bingo
The current season of Game Changer, Dropout’s endlessly inventive improv/prank game show, delivered its first real banger of a game in last week’s “Bingo.” Earlier episodes of the season were all charming new games or beloved returning formats in their own right, but “Bingo” stands apart thanks to a twist of the exact kind that makes up Game Changer’s metatextual bread and butter.
