Elon Musk accuses Threads of stealing Twitter and threatens to sue Meta

The day after the release of Threads, and just as Meta's social network seems to be enjoying great success in its early days, Twitter is cracking down. The company acquired last year by Elon Musk has sent a letter to Meta, accusing it of breaching industrial secrecy and poaching its employees. Elon Musk has warned Meta of possible legal action, particularly if Threads were to recover data relating to its own users en masse.

OnePlus' folding smartphone will be different from its competitors in at least one respect

While we're still waiting for the announcement of OnePlus' first folding smartphone, we already know more about it. According to leaker Max Jambor, the Chinese manufacturer has opted for a rather original name. Where most manufacturers have adopted a Samsung-style nomenclature, with the word "Fold", the OnePlus model would be christened OnePlus Open.

Xbox Game Pass: the great way to pay half the subscription fee comes to an end

Since the launch of Xbox Game Pass four years ago, it had been possible to take advantage of a very attractive subscription by buying several months of Xbox Live Gold at a lower cost, which were then converted into an Xbox Game Pass subscription. This offer, authorized by Microsoft, enabled users to enjoy the subscription service at half the price. Finally, Microsoft has announced that it will be ending its offer with a less generous conversion rate: three months' Live Gold subscription will give you two months' Xbox Game Pass.
