The Lego Insiders sale may have ended over the weekend, but that doesn't mean there aren't free Legos to be found. There are two free Lego deals live through July 23: You'll get a free Tom Nook and Flying Present set when you spend $40, and Lego Insiders can get the Restaurants of the World: Japan collectible for free by spending $180. Both exclusive gifts can only be unlocked through this offer and can't be purchased separately.

The perfect addition to any 'Animal Crossing' fan's desk

This year marks 25 years of Animal Crossing, which feels like the perfect time to finally announce a new game for the first time since 2020. Let's manifest a surprise announcement from Nintendo with this cute little free set: You'll get Tom Nook (holding a Bell coin, of course), a little slab of grass with a fossil and pink flowers, and an iconic balloon present with a mystery DIY recipe inside.

A freebie for foodies

Expansion of the collectible Restaurants of the World series continues with a traditional Japanese food stand, complete with a huge piece of nigiri sushi on the roof. So many other little details bring this set to life, including chopsticks, cherry blossoms, and a chef minifigure holding a fish.

Restaurants of the World: Japan is free for Lego Insiders who spend more than $180. We've seen so many good Lego drops this summer that it shouldn't be hard to reach that — you can also buy multiple sets to hit $180. Preorders for Lego Pokémon SmartPlay sets count.

The Nintendo Switch has been the US’s bestselling console for 23 straight months

By
Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves. This has only been exacerbated by increased demand due to a combination of the pandemic and the breakout success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . ...

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

MVP versus EVP: Is it time to introduce ethics into the agile startup model?

By
Anand Rao Contributor Share on Twitter Anand Rao is global head of AI at PwC . The rocket ship trajectory of a startup is well known: Get an idea, build a team and slap together a minimum viable product (MVP) that you can get in front of users. However, today’s startups need to reconsider the MVP model as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become ubiquitous in tech products and the market grows increasingly conscious of the ethical implications of AI augmenting or replacing humans in the decision-making process. An MVP allows you to collect critical feedback from your target market that then informs the minimum development required to launch a product — creating a powerful feedback loop that drives today’s customer-led business. This lean, agile model has been extremely successful over the past two decades — launching thousands of successful startups, some of which have grown into billion-dollar companies. However, building high-performing product...
