Twitter's Edit Tweet expected to come to Twitter Blue subscribers in Canada starting late Sept. 2022

Twitter has begun testing its most requested feature. The company announced that it started internally testing an Edit Tweet option. It plans to roll this out to Twitter Blue subscribers in Canada and three other markets (Australia, New Zealand, and the US) starting as early as late September 2022. 

Twitter gives you up to 30 minutes to edit a tweet "a few times" after you've hit Tweet. The edited tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp, and label that clearly states the original tweet has been modified. When you tap the label, it'll show the tweet's edit history. As Twitter says in its blog post, this helps "protect the integrity of the conversation and create a publicly accessible record of what was said." While not all users will get the option to edit tweets, everyone will see edited tweets soon.

If you feel like you need a bigger screen to watch content or play games on, Lenovo introduces its new Glasses T1. This wearable private display brings a Full HD OLED screen in front of your eyes. Similar to the TCL NxtWear Air, it's mainly used for content consumption or gaming. These aren't glasses to walk around and use for augmented or virtual reality purposes. These are meant to be tethered to the source device. If you felt like you needed a larger, private screen, this is what the Lenovo Glasses T1 offers.

The Lenovo Glasses T1 uses a physical wire to connect to devices like PCs, tablets, smartphones, Macs, and more through USB-C. iOS devices need a Lenovo HDMI adapter and Apple's Digital AV adapter to work. The Glasses T1 also supports Motorola's Ready For interface, allowing you to use apps in desktop style. These glasses support multiple nose pads, making them fit easier for your use. It also comes in prescription frames. The T1s are battery-powered and come with built-in speakers. Lenovo plans to release this device in the Chinese market first, with plans to bring it to "select markets" in 2023.
