The new Sonos voice assistant seems faster than the competition
Sonos devices have supported Amazon's Alexa voice assistant for almost five years now. The Sonos One from 2017 was the first speaker the company made with built-in microphones, and almost every speaker it's made since has worked with Alexa, not to mention Google Assistant. Despite supporting those popular services, though, Sonos has decided to build its own voice assistant. Dubbed Sonos Voice Control, the feature is specifically designed to work with music only, so this isn't exactly a competitor to Alexa and Google Assistant. Instead, it's meant to control your music as quickly as possible, and with privacy in mind.

Should politics be in games? Giancarlo Esposito says they have to be.
Esposito is a prominent actor, known for villainous turns as Gustavo Fring in "Breaking Bad" and Moff Gideon in "The Mandalorian." The character he plays in "Far Cry 6," dictator Antón Castillo, and the game's fictional setting of Yara have drawn comparisons to the political situation in Cuba. Khavari released a statement in May clarifying that, yes, "Far Cry 6" would invoke political themes, after an interview in which he said, "Our game doesn't want to make a political statement about what's happening in Cuba specifically."
