It's March 24, 2022—National Cheesesteak Day! That salad you were planning to have for lunch today? Throw it away Put it in the fridge and go pick up a cheesesteak instead. We promise it's the more satisfying choice. ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 325 articles, 12 podcasts, 11 press releases, 407 tweets, and 19 YouTube videos 1. PS4 & 5 Get New Party Options, Voice Commands, and More The PS4 and PS5 have new system updates that incorporate user feedback and requests. These additions include being able to make public and invite-only party chats, voice commands for PS5, and more. If you grab the updates now, hopefully they'll finish by the time you're ready to get back to gaming. 2. Eero Launches New Router to Capitalize on Wi-Fi 6E Network Eero has released the Eero 6+ and Pro 6E mesh routers, offering speeds up to 2.3 Gbps and one gigabit, respectively. You can pick up the Pro 6E router now for $299, while the 6+ will run you $139. Not bad. If you need more coverage, you can buy up to three of each to ensure no part of your home is left out. 3. Apple Wallet Driver's License and State ID Debuts in AZ Your Apple Wallet can now store state IDs and driver's licenses. Great, right? Well, it's only in Arizona, and only the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport accepts it. Still, it's a neat QOL addition, and other states like, Georgia, Iowa, Utah, Maryland, Oklahoma, and more should be able to use it "soon." 🦑 Go Deeper Tired of putting your car's underside at risk whenever you have to parallel park? Sascha Brodsky is here to tell you all about the new tech that hopes to take the stress out of parking in less-than-ideal spots. 🎱 By the Numbers The PS5 takes the lead again! Data: Solitaired People around the country really want the PS5 over its competitors, but we all know how that's going (poorly). Still, it's kinda fun seeing how many states want the various consoles. Big shout out to the six states that want the Nintendo Switch more than anything else. It's for Pokemon, right? Has to be. 🔥 Today's Hot Deal
