But Jones isn’t going to take the government’s sentencing recommendation. He hasn’t yet announced the exact sentence

Addressing the courtoom before being sentenced, the Binance begins by saying, “I’m sorry,” and says he wants to take responsibility for his “mistakes.” He notes that Binance did implement a KYC/AML program, and that it is cooperating with the US government.

“In my mind, I wanted to do everything possible before stepping down as CEO.”

Sources tell The Wrap that the high costs stemmed from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s “chronic lateness,” along with inexperienced production execs:

“It should look like a $200 million-plus movie, but it doesn’t, because more than half goes to buyouts of the stars and the above the line,” the production insider said. “Amazon MGM have so many movies that nobody’s concentrating on what actually needs to get done. Given their volume, they can’t concentrate.”

Judge Richard Jones is back on the bench, and we are about to hear from Changpeng Zhao himself.

Gotta say, the government has not exactly covered itself in glory here. If Zhao’s statement is convincing, he might not serve time at all.

The first season of My Adventures with Superman left most of the superheroic heavy lifting to Clark Kent (Jack Quaid) as villains terrorized metropolis. Even more of Superman’s classic foes are making their way to the show in its second season (out May 25th.) But this time around, the Man of Steel is going to have a bit more Kryptonian muscle on his side.

As part of its v65 release, Meta has announced that Quest 3, Quest Pro, and Quest 2 owners with iOS 17 can now upload panoramic images to the Quest mobile app and view them in VR. It’s also expanding the ability to upload and view spatial videos to all iPhone users with iOS 17.

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope recently produced the “sharpest infrared images to date” of the Horsehead Nebula, according to the European Space Agency.

As BBC Science Focus explains, images like this are made up of multiple composites taken at different infrared wavelengths, then shifted to the visible spectrum and combined.

The TikTok-style discovery feed lets you swipe through livestreams and clips on Twitch’s mobile app. If you land on a livestream you like, you can tap into the stream to start tuning in.

As a result of asking forgiveness, not permission, Changpeng Zhao made himself a billionaire and celebrity, Mosley says.

The battery-powered mid-sized SUV will be officially unveiled at an event in New York City on May 30th. It’s a curious move for the off-road focused brand — NYC doesn’t exactly scream “rear locking differentials” — but Jeep says it will show off new features like “all-terrain management, advanced Jeep brand-focused technology and impressive performance credentials.”

I suppose Manhattan’s many prodigious potholes could count as going off-road.

According to AppleInsider, it’s testing Safari updates like “Intelligent Search,” which would offer on-device AI-powered webpage summaries and a built-in “Web Eraser” feature that lets you selectively — and persistently — block content on websites.

AppleInsider’s story, which cites unnamed sources, seems at least plausible, given Apple is widely expected to debut a smattering of AI features at WWDC in June.

It’s hard to get people to switch away from Google, but Microsoft has been trying over the past year and hit a milestone of 140 million daily users recently. That’s up from the 100 million that Microsoft announced last year, so it’s clear that its ambitious plans for its AI-powered search engine have got millions more people using Bing.

Webb and Val Verde counties, both of which are located near the Texas-Mexico border, recently started using TraffiCatch to surveil their communities, NOTUS reports.

TraffiCatch lets police “detect in-vehicle wireless signals,” which it connects to cars’ license plate numbers. Webb County bought the tech with a grant from DHS, while Val Verde got the funds through Operation Lone Star, a controversial state-level immigration enforcement program.

Unlike with the Sam Bankman-Fried trial, public interest in the sentencing of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao seems to be low. I did not spend hours standing in line this morning. And as far as I know, CZ is not yet in the building.

While Fallout is huge at the moment, don’t forget about that other post-apocalyptic series about people living deep underground. We don’t have a date or trailer yet for season 2 of Silo on Apple TV Plus, but at least there’s this assurance from the author of the novels the show is based on.

30 years after the tragic death of Brazilion F1 great Ayrton Senna, Netflix released a first look at its upcoming series based on his life.

Post-Drive to Survive and ahead of this weekend’s Miami GP, it’s clear how much F1’s popularity has grown since the Senna documentary in 2010, bringing in new fans who can learn about his story.

The e-comm giant is betting you might. Shein, mostly known for its bargain bin fashion items, is now looking to sell more household items from established brands like Colgate-Palmolive or Hasbro. It’s part of a strategy to challenge Amazon as Shein looks to IPO later this year.

A bill in Congress that would require automakers to keep AM radio in their vehicles now has 60 co-sponsors in the Senate and 246 in the House — a filibuster proof majority that could signal its on its way to becoming law. The legislation was introduced in response to an increasing number of vehicles (EVs in particular) coming out without AM radio. But EV lobbyists say the bill is unnecessary.

Danny and Michael Philippou — the former YouTubers who directed the excellent horror film Talk To Me — are teaming up with A24 again for a mystery project called Bring Her Back. All we know now is that it’ll be scary, star Sally Hawkins, and starts production this summer. (Don’t worry: the Talk To Me sequel is still in the works, too.)
