Lego's Super Mario sets haven't had any of the game's leading ladies since it was introduced two years ago. But that's about to change, at least for Princess Peach. Lego commemorates Mar10 Day by bringing the princess to its Super Mario Adventures range. 

Her Starter Course will be available on August 1 for US$60 (approx. CA$76). A combo Cat Peach suit and Frozen Tower expansion set will launch on the same day for US$80 (approx. CA$102). There will also be other Super Mario expansion sets and accessories coming on that day. Lego has even teased Peach's Castle, Yoshi's Gift house, and Goomba's Shoe sets, but we don't know when these will come out and for how much.

Google Pixel owners—at least those who own a Pixel 4 or later—can access new Android features earlier, at least through a new beta program. Google has announced the release of the first beta for its Quarterly Platform Release (QPR), a.k.a. its Feature Drops. The features in this beta might make their way to Pixel's June update. If you want to try out new Pixel features before they get widely released, you can sign up for the beta here.

According to Google, anyone using the 12L beta will be automatically transitioned to the new QPR beta. These Feature Drops allow Pixel owners to get early access to features included in mid-year updates. But the company hasn't specified what new features are included. For now, the beta "includes improvements to functionality and user experience as well as the latest bug fixes, optimizations, and the March 2022 security patches."

Apple discontinues 27-inch iMac

It's been around for over 12 years, but now the 27-inch iMac is no more. Apple has removed the listing from its Mac category, leaving the 24-inch Apple Silicon-based iMac on sale. The company launched its new Mac Studio and Studio Display the other day, which it is positioning to replace that iMac instead of a rumoured new large-sized iMac. This just-discontinued model running on Intel's processor first debuted in August 2020, and it had the nano-texture anti-glare display option that the new Studio Display gets.

The iMac was first introduced in 1998, and the 27-inch model first came out in 2009. And as Apple Insider pointed out, it was the first post-Steve Jobs return product. It transitioned to the Intel processor in 2006 until it moved to the ARM-based Apple Silicon architecture in 2021.
