‘Superman’ Soars

It takes mere seconds for James Gunn’s Superman to cast a spell on its audience. The film is not just an introduction to a brand-new Superman but to an entire new DC Universe, and with a very clever, very exciting, very intense collection of sentences that appear on screen, it’s instantly clear how different and resonant this film is about to be. The information sets the tone, stage, and stakes in moments, as each statement reverberates with intensity and anticipation. And that’s just the first

SpaceX in talks to raise new funding at $400B valuation

In Brief SpaceX is looking to raise fresh capital by selling new shares to insiders in a deal that would boost its valuation to around $400 billion, according to reporting from Bloomberg. The company’s strategy is to raise money via a fundraising round and separately hold a tender offer to allow employees to sell some of their shares to a select group of investors, anonymous sources told Bloomberg. SpaceX typically holds tender offers twice per year. SpaceX’s valuation has steadily climbed si

Gmail’s new subscription management is here to declutter your inbox

With decades of online life behind us, many people are using years-old email addresses. Those inboxes are probably packed with subscriptions you've picked up over the years, and you probably don't need all of them. Gmail is going to make it easier to manage them with a new feature rolling out on mobile and web. Google's existing unsubscribe prompts are evolving into a one-stop shop for all your subscription management needs, a feature that has been in the works for a weirdly long time. The pitc

The military might finally win the right to repair

Senators Tim Sheehy and Elizabeth Warren have introduced a bipartisan bill to enshrine a right to repair for military equipment. The legislation, called the “Warrior Right to Repair Act,” would codify the right-to-repair provisions that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put in place through the Army Transformation and Acquisition Reform memorandum from April 30. The Department of Defense has not been immune from restrictive practices set forth by manufacturers, and much like the average consumer,

Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

Opinion Dominance does not equal importance, nor is dominance the same as relevance. The snag at Mozilla is a management layer that doesn't appear to understand what works for its product nor which parts of it matter most to users. It is very rare for an article on The Register to cause friends of mine to contact me and anxiously ask if they should change their choice of tech, but SJVN's recent column, "Firefox is dead to me," did it. Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed

Someone Is Calling Trump Officials Using an AI Clone of Marco Rubio’s Voice

Government employees keep getting calls from Secretary of State Marco Rubio—which would be bad enough, frankly, having to talk to that guy. But making matters worse, it seems that it’s not actually Marco Rubio but instead, an unidentified caller who is mimicking his voice with artificial intelligence software, according to a report from the Washington Post. The technologically advanced crank caller has reportedly contacted at least three foreign ministers, a governor, and a member of Congress,

Popular UV Manicure Lamps Might Be Frying Your Skin at the Molecular Level

UV LED nail lamps are very trendy right now, allowing people to quickly wrap up their manicures at the salon or in the comfort of their own home. But it now appears that these products can come at a potentially serious cost. Scientists in Argentina led the study, which examined how the UV dose emitted by a modern manicure lamp affected common skin molecules. They found that just a few minutes of exposure altered these molecules in ways that could be harmful to skin. Though the long-term health

The one Android settings shortcut I can't live without - and how to customize it

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Android is chock-full of features that appeal to a wide variety of users. Some of those features have been met with wide acceptance, while others tend to be relegated to a smaller cross-section of users. Some features are there, waiting for you to make use of them, and yet they go either ignored or underused. One such example is Quick Settings. This feature has been available on Android for quite some time, and exists as a collection of tiles at the

Stuck with your current carrier? An esim free trial is a good way to shop around

Harley Maranan / Android Authority Although switching carriers isn’t a hard process, it’s one many of us are reluctant to take. Maybe you’ve been with the same carrier for years and are afraid of jumping ship. It’s also possible you could be facing carrier fees or will have to pay off devices before making a move. Either way, you want to be sure what you switch to is better than what you came from. That’s where an eSIM free trial comes in handy. There are actually quite a few carriers that all

Why the US and Europe could lose the race for fusion energy

The US and Europe were the dominant public funders of fusion energy research and are home to many of the world’s pioneering private fusion efforts. The West has consequently developed many of the basic technologies that will make fusion power work. But in the past five years China’s support of fusion energy has surged, threatening to allow the country to dominate the industry. The industrial base available to support China’s nascent fusion energy industry could enable it to climb the learning c

Is it possible to play doom on an oscilloscope using only lissajous figures?

Getting a piece of electronics to run doom (1993) is a classic project in hobby electronics, and so far people have gotten doom to run on pretty much anything, including analog oscilloscopes. However, in all cases that I have seen, the only part of the oscilloscope that is really "running" doom is the CRT display, which is hooked directly to an external computer a la 90's game consoles.Meanwhile, people also have managed to get analog oscilloscopes to display some pretty extraordinary and dynami

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Going After ‘Chemtrails’ With New Bill to Ban Weather Modification
