Pocket-lint reporter Ian Carlos Campbell explored the new Friend AI pendant, and why he thinks the majority of the negative reaction might not be focusing on the real essence of the device. He argues the problem with Friend and other AI companions like that is something much more fundamental. Marketing it as 'Friend' causes a buzz, but the concept isn't dystopian in the way many suggest, take the name for what it is, a name, and find the potential value in its actual purpose.

So what do sports fans get as part of this deal? As a joint venture between Disney’s ESPN, Warner Bros. Discovery and Fox, Venu will feature all three companies’ portfolio of live sports, including coverage from the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB. Some games, like Amazon Prime's Thursday Night Football or the Netflix-exclusive Christmas NFL game will not be available, but any game that is broadcast on one of the joint venture's linear sports networks, will be streamed on Venu. Though the $43 per month subscription fee is pretty high, it is less than a larger digital programming package such as Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV, which cost around $75 to $80 per month, and might actually be a decent value for sports fans looking to gain the most access for the lowest subscription fee. Would you pay $43 per month for this sports-focused streaming service?
