Apple says old and new AirPods Pro ear tips are incompatible because of mesh density

In my review of the new second-generation AirPods Pro, I pointed out that the inner mesh / filter of the ear tips is slightly different than those belonging to the original earbuds. As it turns out, that’s part of why Apple advises against using first-gen tips on the new model and vice versa. As MacRumors noticed, the company has updated its support page on AirPods Pro ear tips with a new section that says “ear tips have been designed specifically for their AirPods Pro generation, to deliver the highest-fidelity audio experience.”
“As a result, use the ear tips that come with your AirPods Pro. AirPods Pro (1st generation) ear tips have noticeably denser mesh than AirPods Pro (2nd generation) ear tips,” Apple’s support site reads.

Why does Logitech have a white Xbox Series X? (Because they put a skin on it.)

Update 3:45PM ET: Per David Perez, the head of communications for gaming at Logitech, the simplest answer is the correct one — he says they simply wrapped that Xbox Series X.
A white Xbox Series X has appeared in Logitech’s latest Astro Gaming commercial. The white model appears in a new ad for the Logitech-owned Astro Gaming headphone line, featuring the new A30 wireless headphones that are compatible with Xbox Series X, PS5, and more. The commercial shows a white Xbox Series X alongside a regular PS5 and the white and pink Blue Yeti microphones that were part of a collaboration between Logitech and Blue.
Logitech-owned Astro Gaming might have chosen to use a custom white wrap on the Xbox Series X, but the company hasn’t customized any…

The Shining Prequel Not Happening Because Doctor Sleep Slumped At The Box Office
According to director Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game, The Haunting of House Hill), Warner Bros. has shut the door on a The Shining prequel because of the underwhelming box office performance of his 2019-directed sequel, Doctor Sleep. In a tweet replying to fans, Flanagan explains they were “so close” to making a prequel happen, but the studio “opted not to proceed.”
Doctor Sleep was based on the 2013 Stephen King novel of the same name, and it’s unlikely that the iconic author will be penning a proper The Shining prequel anytime soon. The prolific King’s newest book, Fairy Tale, was published on September 6 and it already has Paul Greengrass (the Bourne series) attached to direct. Check out Flanagan’s exchange with a fan about the would-be prequel below, which was sparked by discussing a fan-made poster.
Because of DOCTOR SLEEP’s box office performance, Warner Bros opted not to proceed with it. They control the rights, so that was that.

In 2019, Doctor Sleep didn’t exactly win big with critics–even though it did include Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and other big stars. Upon its release, it sat at 59 with Metacritic, with GameSpot’s Mason Downey writing, “[Director Mike] Flanagan finds ways to evoke the ambiance and tone of the Kubrick film that never overstay their welcome with cleverly matched shots, sound design, and character cameos. Even the handful of early flashbacks to Dan’s childhood manage to feel tasteful and appropriate.”
