There's also M2 and M2 Pro-equipped Mac Minis so I can get my mom a discounted M1 version soon, but if you watched Apple's 18 minute video keenly looking for any sign of the company's mixed reality headset, keep waiting. It'll probably still show up in June, although we'll be waiting longer for Apple's lighter AR glasses, which have been delayed in favor of making a cheaper headset for the Quest 2 crowd. But that wasn't actually everything that Apple officially announced this week. There's a new full-size HomePod 2 for $299 after Apple pulled the old one because no one bought it. It's apparently better, even though it has less physical speakers inside it, but that might be to make room for unknown sensors, like the secret temperature and humidity sensor that Apple just activated in the HomePod Mini.

Anyways, you can use two of the new big HomePods as stereo speakers for your Apple TV, but can you use it to accept the new terms and conditions after your TV updates? Yeah, this week a tweet by Chris, I don't know how to read his handle, went viral after he was prompted by his Apple TV to accept its new TOS using basically any other Apple device, which he didn't have, a situation that is apparently inconceivable to Apple.

And in non-Apple news, Getty Images has sued Stability AI, the maker of popular AI art tool Stable Diffusion in the second major lawsuit over what the heck we're gonna do about the copyright thing now that art can be absorbed, mixed around, and reconstituted like a freak Star Trek transporter accident. Getty Images says Stability AI copied and processed millions of images protected by copyright without a license.
