Legendary striker Jamie Vardy will leave Leicester City this summer after 13 seasons that have seen him become our greatest-ever player in team’s history
Jamie, 38, joined us for £1M from Fleetwood Town in 2012 and has gone on to become a Premier League, FA Cup, Community Shield and double Championship winner during a golden era for our Club
There is no other player more synonymous with the incredible successes achieved in that time and, with nearly 500 appearances and almost 200 goals to his name, Vardy’s achievements on Filbert Way are unrivalled throughout our 141-year history
GIBBI View: Leicester will be relegated to second tier in English football (Championship League) when this season finishes in one month, where this will be the 2nd relegation in 3 years for Leicester; I think that Vardy is going to play in MLS or Saudi Arabia because he won everything in English Football, so let’s see which will be Vardy’s next team

Western Conference: First Round - Game 3:
- Tonight at 21:30 ET on Target Center (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
The Series is tied 1-1, where Timberwolves won Game 1 and Lakers won Game 2
The Series will move on to Minnesota, where it’ll be played Game 3 and Game 4
GIBBI View: Lakers lost the home advantage and now it’s a must to win minimum one game in Minnesota to try to recover the home advantage and win this series, if not Lakers are going to be eliminated; My Prediction: Lakers win by 1+ point difference and take the lead of the series

Chess.com, the online chess platform that was founded in 2005 and launched in 2007, has surpassed 200 million members. Of those 200 million members, 1.5 million are paying users. More than 6 million games of chess are played every day on the platform
The company has expanded a lot since its roots as an online forum for IRL chess players to discuss their matches. Chess.com now offers full chess matches against other people or bots, daily games and puzzles, news about the chess world, the ability to stream chess competitions, and more
Netflix’s chess-focused miniseries, “The Queen’s Gambit,” further fueled interest when it was released in 2020. Since then, numerous events have sparked new interest in the game
GIBBI View: This kind of news only give me hope and motivation to keep going, because this kind of companies aren’t solving any big problem in the world but they’re only offering a simple product

Instagram Threads, Meta’s newest social network and X competitor, is officially relocating from the website Threads.net to Threads.com. The transition will coincide with a handful of quality-of-life improvements for the Threads web app
Meta had initially launched its new social app in July 2023 on the URL Threads.net, as a Sequoia-backed Slack alternative startup had owned the Threads.com domain at the time. (That startup sold to Shopify last year)
The change gives Meta a more prominent and better-remembered URL for its social app that now reaches over 320 million monthly active users, as of Meta’s last public earnings announcement in January. The rebrand of sorts may allow the app to better compete with its rival X
GIBBI View: I think even with the change of domain Thread won’t be able to compete and defeat X, because X is still leading in this field and I doubt that in the next 5 year none of its competition (Threads, Bluesky, etc) can dethrone it; also, Meta hasn’t been very succesfull when copy its rival’s features

Meta Rolls Out Live Translations To All Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Users (The Verge)

These include live translation, the ability to send messages and make calls through Instagram, and conversations with Meta AI based on what you’re currently looking at
Starting yesterday it’s getting a wider rollout to all the markets where the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are available. You can hold a conversation with someone who speaks English, French, Italian, or Spanish, and hear a real-time translation through the smart glasses in your preferred language
If you download a language pack in advance, you can use the live translations feature without Wi-Fi or access to a cellular network, making it more convenient to use while traveling abroad
GIBBI View: I think that these Ray-Ban Smart Glasses are the future and most of the people will start to use them in the next 5 years, and Meta will take advantage of that; by the way, remember that in december, I wrote an article where I wrote about my business idea GIBBI Speak, where I want to create an AI app where it wants to translate real-conversation in the moment between two people that don’t speak nor understand the language of each other
