The ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Trailer Welcomes You Back to School

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-12-29 10:48:41

Star Trek faces an uncertain future at the moment, as shows that helped define its streaming renaissance end one by one, and little is known about what lies on the horizon (especially thanks to current events in our own world). So it’s perhaps fitting, then, that the one new show we do know is coming is all about welcoming a new generation back to Star Trek‘s fundamental ideals after a similar period of uncertainty: Starfleet Academy. To close out today’s packed Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-

Upsides and Downsides

Every startup founder knows about Geoffrey Moore's concept of "crossing the chasm"–that you have to change your marketing and sales approach as you gain marketshare fit a more conservative buyer. But most fail to internalize what crossing the chasm means when it comes to their product. I recently stumbled upon Adam Mastroanni's post on strong-link problems, and realized that it's the perfect framework for thinking about this shift. In essence, Adam says there are two types of problems: strong-

Intuitive Surgical, an American biotechnology company, introduced DaVinci surgical robots in the late 1990s, and they became groundbreaking teleoperation equipment. Expert surgeons could operate on patients remotely, manipulating the robotic arms and their surgical tools based on a video feed from DaVinci’s built-in cameras and endoscopes. Now, John Hopkins University researchers put a ChatGPT-like AI in charge of a DaVinci robot and taught it to perform a gallbladder-removal surgery. Kuka sur

In-Flight Wi-Fi Is Getting a Boost on These Starlink-Enabled Airlines

Sluggish airline internet might become a thing of the past. For the last 20 years, airline internet has been notoriously unreliable, but Starlink is changing the game with significantly faster speeds. In fact, the latest reports show it's already twice as fast as its in-flight competitors. Starlink-equipped planes achieve superior internet speeds due to its fleet of almost 8,000 low-Earth orbit satellites, which operate much closer to Earth than the geostationary satellites used by competitors

The electric Stark Varg EX is brutally fast but a little too unrefined

Stark Future provided flights from Albany, New York, to Barcelona, Spain, and accommodation so Ars could ride the Varg EX. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. The sport of off-roading suffers from a fundamental discordance: The desire to get out into nature and the irreparable harm inherent in the process of off-roading. That harm comes not only from damage to the land itself, but from an environment polluted with both fumes and noise. Off-roading in an EV isn't exactly a panacea, but

Starlink has brought high-speed internet to millions of rural Americans for the first time. It’s also one of the most expensive internet service providers in the country. So, how is it available in New York for just $15 a month? If Starlink wants to sell internet in the state, it has no choice. That’s thanks to the Affordable Broadband Act, a New York state law passed in January. However, customers will still have to pay $349 upfront for Starlink's equipment kit.
