eBay will lay off 800 workers, or 6 percent of its staff

eBay announced that it is cutting about 800 jobs from its global staff. "We are taking steps to reinvest across our business and align our structure with our strategic priorities, which will affect certain roles across our workforce," the retailer said in a statement as reported by Bloomberg . This move will see about 6 percent of eBay's current full-time workers laid off. Bloomberg noted that eBay would continue hiring in "key areas" but did not specify what those fields are. The downsizing follows a week of business updates for eBay. On the same day it shared its latest financial results , the company announced that it would acquire Depop, a consumer-to-consumer secondhand fashion retailer, from Etsy. The Depop purchase carried a $1.2 billion price tag, which could put at least a small dent in the $11.1 billion it reported in 2025 full-year revenue.

Meet Expedition: Handheld, PCWorld’s new portable gaming show

Meet Expedition: Handheld, PCWorld’s new portable gaming show

Two men walk in from opposite directions in the barren Nevada desert. Neither has a hat or a gun. Both have something more interesting: handheld gaming devices . As two men in the desert are wont to do, they start a podcast. It’s called Expedition: Handheld. PCWorld’s Adam Patrick Murray is teaming up with a fellow handheld expert, Russ Crandall from Retro Game Corps , to make a show all about handhelds for The Full Nerd Network. Expedition: Handheld will cover the exploding handheld gaming segment, which has evolved from a handful of retro emulating gadgets into the fastest-growing segment in the PC market. And to be clear, this experiential show will cover more than just the Steam Deck and its various competitors — anything that can play games in your hand is fair game. Smaller, more affordable Linux- and Android-based emulators have a huge and growing following, and if you like one side of the market you’re probably at least interested in the other. The format will be a little less technical, a little more casual, covering news and just what the guys have been using and playing lately. The first episode is dropping this Saturday, February 28th. You can tune in live, and join us over on The Full Nerd Discord to be a part of the show. As always, be sure to check out The PCWorld channel for the latest news and reviews on PC hardware, The Full Nerd for our weekly show, and watch Dual Boot Diaries if you want to dive into running Linux.

Here’s how Apple will showcase F1 across Apple TV, Apple Music and more

The Formula 1 season kicks off next weekend, and it marks the start of Apple’s exclusive broadcast partnership in the United States. The core of the deal is that all races will stream live (and on-demand) on Apple TV , but the company is going all out to increase the exposure of F1 across all of its platforms. Here’s what you can expect to see when the first race broadcasts start on Apple TV app, Apple Music, and more. more…

Everything you need to know about streaming F1 on Apple TV

Everything you need to know about streaming F1 on Apple TV

We’ve known Apple would follow up its blockbuster film F1: The Movie with live coverage of F1 races in 2026 . Now that we’re approaching the first grand prix weekend of the year, the company has provided details on what fans can expect to see inside the Apple TV app and beyond. There’s already a dedicated F1 channel in the Apple TV app, which is where you’ll stream races live when the time comes. You can also watch practice sessions, sprint races and both pre- and post-race coverage. Apple offers a number of additional F1 videos there (I’d recommend watching the one on the new rules) and you’ll be able to stream the latest season of Drive To Survive on Apple TV as well. Apple will offer the F1 TV feed as the main broadcast alongside the Sky Sports feed for all races. If you’ll recall, ESPN used to show the Sky Sports feed with Sky’s commentary team for its coverage of F1. Apple says it’ll broadcast every grand prix in 4K (Dolby Vision) with 5.1 audio (no mention of Dolby Atmos). As part of Apple’s deal with F1, Apple TV subscribers get F1 TV Premium for the 2026 season. This gives you access to things like onboard cameras, team radios and live telemetry in addition to live coverage of the entire grand prix weekend. So, you can watch races on Apple TV or F1 TV, depending on your app preferences, or use the additional features of F1 TV Premium as a second (or third, etc.) screen setup. Netflix will also broadcast the Canadian Grand Prix in May as part of the deal that brought Drive To Survive to Apple TV. F1 TV Premium F1 Full replays for all sessions will be available in the Apple TV app as well. Apple will offer a condensed race in 30 minutes replay option too, and the company says it’s working to hide spoilers in case users are watching after the race begins or concludes. Apple has cooked up some new features for F1 grands prix as it takes over broadcast rights in the US. When you click on the F1 channel in the Apple TV app, the current grand prix week’s content is up top and you have the option to follow F1 so that you get notifications about the various events. Apple will provide a Driver Tracker, Driver Data and dedicated feeds for P1, P2 and P3. You can also watch the driver onboard cameras for each car in the Apple TV app. So, you don’t necessarily have to venture out to F1 TV for those things. Apple will provide various Multiview options so you can put the main broadcast next to driver cams and race data. The company will offer some preset configurations, but you can make your own Multiview mix too. If you like Mercedes, for example, you can watch the main feed with driver cameras from Russell and Antonelli right beside it. Apple says Multiview will support up to five feeds at once (one main in the middle with two smaller ones on each side). The Formula 1 channel on Apple TV Billy Steele for Engadget If you can only listen to races, you can hear live coverage and commentary in Apple Music through a dedicated radio streaming channel. There are also updated features for Apple News, Apple Sports and Apple Maps, the latter of which will have detailed info for fans attending in-person so they can hopefully avoid any surprises — like road closures — on race day. The first race of the season is next week in Australia (March 6-8). Practice begins Friday with qualifying on Saturday and the grand prix on Sunday. Or if you live in the US, that will be Thursday night through Saturday night (race begins at 11PM ET).
