Ultra everything.
Samsung’s next Galaxy watch may not only come with a squircle-shaped redesign, but it could feature new “Ultra” branding, as spotted by SmartPrix in an FCC listing. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is also rumored to come with a 1.5-inch display, a rotating bezel, and a third button.

Voyager 1 is communicating properly again.
NASA has finally found a fix after the 46-year-old space probe stopped sending readable data to Earth in November. Voyager 1 can only send information about its health and status for now, but NASA says it’s working to get it back to transmitting scientific data, too.

The GTA VI trailer is already breaking viewership records on YouTube.
Despite Rockstar dropping the GTA VI trailer early following a leak, it still managed to rake in 72 million views and counting. That makes it the most-viewed non-music video on YouTube in the 24 hours following its release — a record previously held by MrBeast.
It’s also getting close to dethroning BTS’s “Dynamite” music video, which currently holds the record for getting the most views on all of YouTube in 24 hours.

YouTube Music’s 2023 Recap has arrived.
Spotify and Apple Music both released their end-of-year roundups, and now it’s YouTube Music’s turn. This year, YouTube Music will create a custom album art based on what you’ve listened to in 2023, as well as match your top songs to different moods.
You can also access your Recap from the regular YouTube app for the first time, but it won’t have any stats if you aren’t a YouTube Music listener.

It looks like Twitter is still working on ID-based verification.
App researcher Nima Owji has spotted a new label that appears when you click on a user’s blue checkmark, reading: “This account is ID verified.”
While Twitter, err... X, hasn’t actually confirmed that it’s launching a new ID-based verification method, findings from Twitter’s code suggest the platform has been working on this since at least March. If Twitter does start letting users verify their identity with some form of ID, it should hopefully help us better discern who’s an imposter and who’s not.

Twitter left up dozens of known images of child sexual abuse material, a new study says.
In the span of over two months, researchers at the Stanford Internet Observatory found more than 40 CSAM images that had been flagged in the past out of a pool of 100,000 tweets, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Outgoing Twitter CEO Elon Musk has touted child safety as his number one priority since taking over the platform last year. However, numerous reports have since suggested Twitter isn’t doing all that great of a job at preventing the spread of child exploitation imagery.

Netflix lost one million users in Spain following its password-sharing crackdown.
That’s according to data Bloomberg obtained from analytics group Kantar, which says subscription cancellations in Spain tripled in the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the same time last year. Meanwhile, one-tenth of the country’s remaining subscribers say they plan on canceling in the future.
While Netflix says it expects this kind of “cancel reaction” in Spain, Portugal, Canada, New Zealand, and the other countries where it rolled out anti-password sharing rules, one million users seem like a pretty big loss.
