Four years after Alyx, Half-Life 3 is further away than ever before
In 2024, it’s too easy to shrug off the unrelenting brilliance of Valve’s Half-Life series. The fact that these games are genre-defining is such a deeply ingrained truism that it risks sounding like a banal cliche. Still, it’s demonstrably correct, and it’s this brilliance alone that explains why anyone’s still talking about Half-Life 3.

My cheap garden hack will keep pests away from your plants – all you need is a Dollar Tree find
A GARDENER has shared the affordable product that she uses to keep pests from her plants.
Not only is her hack effective, but it’s also incredibly cost-efficient coming from Dollar Tree.
A gardener shared her simple hack for protecting her plants with a laundry bag[/caption]
The gardener (@aussienation) shared her secret in a video with over 10,000 TikTok followers.
She used a mesh laundry bag and an unused tomato cage she had to create a makeshift planter.
She placed the cage over plants that were being eaten by pests, then for the last step, place the laundry bag over the cage to keep pests out.
The gardener explained that she purchased the laundry bag from Dollar Tree for just $1.25, adding the hashtag #dollartreehacks.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her hack.
Some wished that they had found out about her hack earlier: “Why didn’t you tell me this before the caterpillars ate my plants!” said one.
“Well there’s always next year, thank you for sharing.”
“That’s so f***ing smart,” said another.
“Great way to keep the giant tomato moths off your plants,” said a third.
“Haha genius!” complimented a fourth.
Others were excited to try out the hack: “I’m going to try this with my strawberries the birds keep eating,” said one.
“And I will be doing this for sure!! What?” said another.

Facebook Messenger app for Apple Watch is going away after May 31st
Say goodbye to another high-profile Apple Watch app. As MacRumorsnotes, Meta is telling Facebook Messenger users that the Apple Watch version will be unavailable after May 31st. While you’ll still get message notifications beyond that point, you won’t have the option to respond. Meta didn’t provide an explanation in a statement to Engadget. Instead, it pointed users to Messenger on “iPhone, desktop and the web.”
Meta (then Facebook) introduced Messenger for the Apple Watch in 2015. The app couldn’t offer text responses, but you could send audio clips, stickers and similar smartwatch-friendly responses from your wrist. That made it helpful for quickly acknowledging a message without reaching for your iPhone.
There are a few factors that may play a role. To start, the limited interaction hurt the app’s appeal. That may have affected its potential audience. Meta is also laying off roughly 10,000 employees and refocusing its efforts in a bid to cut costs. That means cutting less essential projects, and it’s safe to presume Messenger for Apple Watch wasn’t a top priority.
Numerous well-known companies have dropped their Apple Watch apps over the years. Meta scrapped its wrist-worn Instagram app in 2018. Slack, Twitter, Uber and others have also ditched their wearable clients. In many cases, developers left due to either a lack of demand or a lack of necessity — there’s not much point to a native smartwatch app if you’ll likely pick up your phone regardless.
Apple may be aware of this. Rumors suggest watchOS 10 may be redesigned around widgets. Apps might stick around, but the emphasis could be on quick-glance information rather than navigating apps on a tiny screen. Even if you use Messenger for Apple Watch now, there might not be as much incentive to use it going forward.
