Microsoft rumored to bring Xbox One games to Nintendo Switch
In what could signal a seismic shift for the video game industry, Direct-Feed Games reports that Microsoft is planning to bring Xbox One games to the Nintendo Switch through a variety of intriguing methods. The first, and perhaps most believable, is that Microsoft will publish at least one Xbox exclusive (Ori and the Blind Forest) on Switch. This should not come as much of a surprise, as one of Microsoft’s biggest games — Minecraft — is already available on virtually every video game console and mobile device on the planet.

Amazon’s blowing out popular portable chargers for one day only
Whether you have a slim, compact smartphone or a giant phablet, the bottom line is that there’s simply no such thing as “enough battery life.” Your smartphone might last you more than 24 hours with regular usage, but the day will inevitably come when you need to do something and your battery will be on the verge of dying. That’s why portable chargers are so popular, and today is the day to buy one if you need an upgrade or if you’ve just never thought to purchase one before. Amazon is blowing out a bunch of different popular models at all-time low prices, but this sale is only good for one day on Tuesday. What are you waiting for!?

Apple will reportedly add the Apple Watch feature everyone wants by next year
Apple’s smartwatch has dominated the industry ever since it was introduced back in 2016, but despite its ubiquity, the popular wearable is still missing several key features that some of its rivals have included for years. A sleep monitor is perhaps the most notable of these, but Bloomberg reports that Apple has been allowing users to test a sleep-tracking feature at secret sites around its Cupertino, California headquarters for months.
As Bloomberg explains, Apple rigorously tests new health and fitness features for the Apple Watch at labs on campus before it even considers rolling them out to the public. If the sleep monitor passes all of Apple’s tests, the objective is to add it to a future Apple Watch model by 2020, according to sources familiar with Apple’s plans.

Brilliant ‘Avengers: Endgame’ theory says Iron Man had to die 14 million times to beat Thanos
The minds behind Avengers: Infinity War had Doctor Strange tell us exactly how many versions of the future he saw until he found the one where the Avengers emerge victorious. We still have no idea why Strange counted them all, or whether he stopped when he found the first path to victory. Strange is a geek of sorts, so of course he would count. He’s also pretty pragmatic, so he knows the odds are against the Avengers on this one and wants to make a point by telling them how bad things are. But all hope is not lost, and Strange is helping events unfold in the only way where they can win.
We’ve seen a bunch of interesting theories about the time Strange spent on Titan to explore different timelines, including one that suggests he was exploring the aforementioned timelines for more than 5,000 years. We now have an equally brilliant theory that poses something entirely different: Strange only spent minutes looking at those 14,000,605 futures and decided Iron Man had to survive Titan so he could then die 14,000,604 times.

A rapper trying to stomp out a fire on his momma’s lawn is the funniest video you’ll see this week
Fireworks and dry foliage are a bad combination, and that’s something that rapper Thouxanbanfauni and his friends found out the hard way in a live stream posted to Instagram this week. The artist, who has a sizable following on YouTube, Instagram, and SoundCloud, was having a bit of fun in front of what appears to be his mother’s apartment complex when things got out of hand in a hurry.
Thouxanbanfauni is filming as his friend playfully threatens him with a firework of some kind when the sparks set several small fires on the dry lawn at their feet. Neither of the men notice the flames until it’s too late, and about a half dozen small blazes eventually grow to swallow up nearly the entire yard.

LG G8 and V50 hands-on: 2 phones, 4 tricks, and too many questions
LG on Sunday took the stage in Barcelona, Spain to unveil the phones that will drive its immediate future. Unlike previous years, we got to see two new devices at the same time, the V50 ThinQ and the G8 ThinQ. Both phones were leaked before the show, and it turns out all of their signature features were either announced before MWC 2019 or featured in rumors. We’re looking at 5G and dual-screen support for the V50, and 3D face and gesture recognition as well as “sound on display” technology in the G8. All of that sounds great on paper, but in real life things aren’t always pretty, or even necessary.

Anonymous survey shows Tesla and SpaceX employees are still confident in Elon Musk
The Twitter habits of Tesla’s chief executive are apparently coming back under scrutiny, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asking a judge to hold Tesla CEO Elon Musk in violation of a settlement deal he reached last year that included guidelines for his Twitter usage. In short, company officials are supposed to vet the “material” information Elon releases via Twitter, which is why the SEC has zeroed in on one of his tweets last week — in which Elon said his electric carmaker would manufacture “around” half a million vehicles this year.
He followed that up with another tweet, clarifying that “deliveries” for the year are still estimated to total 400,000, though the SEC still blasted the first tweet in a court filing. “Musk did not seek or receive pre-approval prior to publishing this tweet, which was inaccurate and disseminated to over 24 million people,” the agency wrote.
