Lyft has officially introduced teen accounts for ages 13 to 17. This is a rideshare feature in which teenagers can request their own rides, which is similar to Uber's pre-existing platform.
Teens request the rides on their own, but parents can keep an eye on things every step of the way. Lyft says that parents or guardians can see every ride in real time and manage the account. They also get updates at pickup and drop-off and the app allows communication with the driver when needed.
This is a rideshare service for teens, so there are several new safety features. The drivers must "meet the highest standards" on the platform. Lyft says they get annual background checks and must have "proven safe driving records, positive passenger interactions and experience behind the wheel."
The teens have to enter a PIN to ensure the correct rider gets in the car, which is something Lyft has been experimenting with for adults. Audio recording of the ride is on by default, for an added layer of safety.
Lyft Teen is available right now, though not everywhere. The company has launched the platform in 200 markets, including New York City, Chicago, Atlanta and Miami, among others. It's coming to more cities as the year winds on.

YouTube Music has started putting lyrics — a previously free feature introduced in 2020 — behind a paywall, according to multiple users and 9to5Google. In the latest update, the “Lyrics” tab in the Now Playing screen displays a warning message: “You have [x] views remaining. Unlock lyrics with Premium.” Free users get lyrics for five songs, then after that, will only see a few lines before the rest of the song is blurred.
Google has been testing the feature since at least September with a limited number of users, according to previous reports. It’s been speculated that YouTube may have made the change to recuperate costs spent with lyric aggregators like Musixmatch. Spotify also put lyrics behind its Premium paywall in 2024, but a user backlash forced it to reinstate the feature for free users.
Google has yet to confirm the change, and while it appears to be a larger rollout, the feature change could still be in testing. YouTube Music’s Premium subscription costs $10.99 in the US with ad-free playback, offline downloads, AI features and more — the same as its main rivals Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.

Mini PCs used to be defined by how invisible they could be, small black rectangles tucked behind monitors or under shelves. That made sense when they were just low-power desktops, but feels out of step now that these machines are running models, listening, watching, and routing data. If AI is going to sit on your desk, it might as well look like it belongs there instead of hiding like a piece of infrastructure.
M5Stack’s AI Pyramid Computing Box leans into that idea, turning an edge-AI platform into a small pyramid that looks more like a sci-fi artifact than a router. There are two versions, a transparent 4 GB model that shows off its internals and RGB light bars, and a Pro 8 GB version in a solid gray shell that keeps the same silhouette but reads more like a piece of industrial hardware. Both share the pyramid form and the underlying platform.
Designer: M5Stack
The pyramid shape goes beyond visual gimmick and gives the device a clear front edge where all the serious ports live, dual HDMI, dual Gigabit Ethernet, four USB-A, and USB-C power, while the sloping faces leave room for vertical RGB strips and a small OLED status window. The top becomes a natural exhaust point for the turbo fan, turning the whole volume into a kind of thermal chimney that glows when the system is alive.
Inside the pyramid is Axera’s AX8850 SoC, an octa-core Cortex-A55 at 1.7 GHz paired with a 24 TOPS NPU and hardware 8K H.264/H.265 encode and decode. The 4 GB model splits its LPDDR4x as 2 GB for the system and 2 GB for accelerators, while the Pro doubles that to 4 GB plus 4 GB, giving more headroom for local vision pipelines, speech models, or compact language models running under Linux.
On a desk, the AI Pyramid sits between a monitor and a small camera array, its dual HDMI outputs or input-plus-output feeding displays while the dual Ethernet ports bridge a home network and an isolated camera VLAN. The four-mic array and built-in speaker let it act as a local assistant or meeting transcriber, while the OLED strip quietly shows IP addresses or system load, and the RGB bars pulse to indicate activity.
Giving an AI mini PC a recognizable silhouette changes how you relate to it. A flat box disappears, which is fine for a dumb hub, but a device that is running models, listening, and orchestrating other hardware benefits from a form you can read at a glance. The AI Pyramid leans into that, making the thermal core, the ports, and even the status lights part of a small, legible object that feels like it was designed to share your desk rather than hide behind it.
