Fans of Comedy Centrals’ iconic cartoon series South Park need not spend fortunes on DVD sets or scrounge around online to download episodes illegally any longer. Series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced the relaunch of SouthParkStudios.com on Wednesday, the show’s new Web site that now includes entire episodes from all 12 seasons of the show.

“We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time so we gave ourselves a legal alternative,” Stone and Parker said in their statement. The site includes entire, uncut versions of each episode in a high-resolution streaming format. The team claims that 168 of 169 episodes in the South Park library are now available online

While contractual obligations require the site to air the shows first on Comedy Central, even the shows from the most recent season will migrate to the Web after a set period. Last Wednesday’s new episode, for instance, will be available April 18 on the site, about a month after its original air date.

Aside from the full episode library and fresh look, the new site retains many features of the original SouthParkStudios.com, including the popular South Park Avatar Creator, news, forums, and games.

Apple Home AI features come with a hidden price tag

Your cameras just got smarter, but so did Apple's upsell game.

Apple Home

I previously covered the new Apple Home AI features revealed at WWDC 2026, which include several quality-of-life improvements, including auto-updating notifications, smarter camera search, automatic tracking and stitching of multiple videos for a single event, and higher-resolution recordings, among others.

Like many Apple Home features, these features are only available to iCloud+ customers. However, at the event, Apple didn’t notify which plans will get access to these features. Today, we get the answer in the release notes of macOS Golden Gate beta 3, and you are not going to like it.

Amazon wants to design in-house chips for Kindles, Fire TV, and Echo speakers

Apple did it first. Amazon is doing it now, starting with 40 million chips a year and a partner most people have never heard of.

Apple's decision to design its own chips reshaped the consumer electronics industry. Amazon may be about to make the same call, just about two decades later.

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Amazon is preparing to shift away from externally sourced processors for its consumer electronics lineup, marking what he describes as the company's first major processor procurement change in 20 years. The transition is expected to begin in 2027.
