We saw it last year with the debut of Baby Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and now this year we have Spirit Halloween‘s Horror Babies.

Bear is now source-available 01 Sep, 2025 When I started building Bear I made the code available under an MIT license. I didn't give it much thought at the time, but knew that I wanted the code to be available for people to learn from, and to make it easily auditable so users could validate claims I have made about the privacy and security of the platform. Unfortunately over the years there have been cases of people forking the project in the attempt to set up a competing service. And it hurt

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Verizon had a very eventful August, thanks mainly to the unpopular decision to cut loyalty discounts.

DJI is taking yet another cue from Insta360. The China-based company recently pulled the curtain on its first 360 camera, the Antigravity A1, but there are more unique cameras to rip off. DJI may also have a “Nano” action camera with a detachable pod, something very close in shape and capabilities to the recent Insta360 Go Ultra. Even if DJI is stuck copying its competitor, at least it’s bringing something new to the world of action cameras, unlike a certain company that rhymes with “Slow no.”
