MoreNetflix originals July 2024: Part 1 of Cobra Kai's final season, Sweet Home season 3 and more
Though the internet is going crazy right now thanks to the re-release of Lost on Netflix, this month has some pretty cool original films and TV shows as well making their debut on the streamer. First up, Eddie Murphy returns to one of his most iconic roles in Netflix original film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, which hits this weekend. Then, possibly the most-anticipated drop of the month happens July 16, when the first 5 episodes of Cobra Kai season 6 drop, kicking off the three-part final season. Other notable releases this month include new animated series Exploding Kittens, which will release its first run of episodes July 10, true crime documentary series Homicide: Los Angeles, which will drop all 5 of its episodes on July 16, and K-drama Sweet Home season 3, which will premiere all episodes of its final season on July 19. Will you be watching any of these originals? Or are you too busy catching up with Lost and the Dharma Initiative?
Apple Intelligence is coming to the Vision Pro, and that's a good thing
Apple has talked about rolling out Apple Intelligence to Macs, iPhones, and iPads only. But, apparently, it's also planning to implement the new AI features into its Vision Pro spatial computing headset sometime next year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who also wrote in his report that some Apple Intelligence features might be paywalled in the future. An AI upgrade for the Vision Pro could bring smarter notifications, generative writing tools, a chatbot, and an updated Siri, which means more productivity opportunities all in AR. Integrating Apple Intelligence features should be pretty easy -- an update to visionOS is all that's likely needed. The real challenge? Tweaking the Apple Intelligence interface to fit a mixed-reality format. Apple hasn't released numbers, but there's been less chatter about the Vision Pro since its release in February, and Apple has reportedly scaled back production due to low demand. You can even find base models going for $1,000 on eBay right now.
Will you watch the Paris 2024 Olympics?
Four years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic made for an unconventional 2020 Olympics for Tokyo, which makes this year's Paris games even more exciting. However, I've personally cut cable and don't have a Peacock subscription. So, rather than paying for yet another streaming service, I'm thinking of taking Chris Hachey's advice and investing in a smart TV antenna to watch my favorite events like women's gymnastics and men's swimming for free. That is, when I'm not actually in Paris for the Olympics as I was lucky enough to snag some seats for the men's basketball final game.
