1. New Webb Telescope images of Jupiter

The Webb Space Telescope is capturing Jupiter as it’s never been seen before. The gas giant is glowing in the latest batch of Webb images, which show bright auroras at its north and south poles,

massive storms that have been raging for centuries, highly faint rings and two of the planet’s 79 known moons. Jupiter is always a stunner.

2. Senate to discuss the Electric Car Discount Bill

The Senate Economics Committee is today holding its first public hearing regarding the Treasury Laws Amendment (Electric Car Discount) Bill 2022. Central to this Bill are changes to the Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act 1986 Bill.

The specific amendment? Making electric cars, hydrogen cars and plug-in hybrids below the luxury car tax threshold exempt from the fringe benefits tax. This is the new government’s first step in making EVs cheaper, even if only marginally for some people.

3. Google is finally fixing that Google TV lag

If your Chromecast with Google TV has been feeling sluggish on startup lately, there’s good news on the horizon. Google has made a flurry of “under the hood” changes to Google TV to help it feel faster and more responsive.

The changes are relatively minor, like dialling down the memory requirement for certain interface elements and improving overall cache management. But you’ll have to check your Google TV dongle or device to see if anything has rolled out to it yet.

4. PlayStation VR2 is on its way

In February, Sony gave us our first look at the PlayStation VR2 along with more detailed shots of the Sense 2 controllers. The headset, first announced in January,

looks similar to the previous model but adds some noteworthy enhancements, including a lens adjustment dial and a new vent design. This morning, we were given a reason to get excited. The PlayStation VR2 is coming to Australia early next year.

5. Saints Row disappoints

Staying at the gaming end of tech, reviews dropped for Saints Row overnight, and things are looking grim. With scores ranging from middling to the downright poor, critics complain of dated design,

game-breaking bugs, ugly visuals, annoying characters and a sense that developer Volition doesn’t understand what the word ‘reboot’ means. Check out Kotaku Australia’s review for more.

6. Apple extends free repair services for 12 users

The program now covers affected iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro devices for up to three years after the first retail sale, compared to up to two years previously, according to Apple. The one-year extension applies worldwide.

Apple launched the service program in August 2021 after the company determined that a “very small percentage" of iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro devices may experience sound issues due to a component that might fail on the earpiece module, also known as the receiver.

The issue can result in the earpiece failing to emit sound during phone calls. Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will service eligible iPhones, free of charge, with steps to initiate the process outlined on Apple’s website.

Affected devices were manufactured between October 2020 and April 2021, and the program does not apply to the iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 12 Pro Max, according to Apple.

7. Facebook is now less popular In us

Meta-owned Facebook has been struggling to maintain its position among the Top 10 apps on the US App Store this year, says a new report. According to an iPhone App Store data analysis, younger consumers shift to newer social networking experiences like TikTok, and now BeReal, the tech giant’s app, has lost traction in the App Store’s Top Charts reports Per the report,

Facebook only fell out of the Top 10 free iPhone apps in the US seven times last year. But in 2022, that figure has already soared to 97, an indication that Facebook may be losing ground as new apps push their way into
