HGTV Picks Up 400 More ‘House Hunters’ Episodes, Orders New ‘Property Brothers’ Spinoff HGTV went on another series buying spree, picking up nearly 400 more "House Hunters" epsiodes and a new "Property Brothers" series, among others.

If Apple or Garmin came out with a display-free band with GPS, Whoop would be in serious trouble trying to charge this much per month. For now, Whoop is able to play against the downsides of a smart ring, which suffers badly for weightlifting/battery life/etc.

I don't think journalists should get up in arms about being blocked from this hearing, provided there is a backdoor that they can use.

I can't imagine Google and Apple are going to keep TikTok on their app stores, even if Trump claims he won't enforce the ban - there is no upside.
