Disney's Mandalorian and Grogu trailer shows the fall of a lumbering giant

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-15 07:15:15

Disney, a company that definitely isn’t dealing with a major crisis right now, has released a trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu . The movie follows on from the events of Disney+ series The Mandalorian — a show that director Jon Favreau created — and the fall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi. It's set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026. The 94-second clip doesn’t offer much in the way of plot details, though it does show Sigourney Weaver as a fighter pilot and Jabba the Hutt’s son Rotta (Jer

'One Battle After Another' Review: Probably the Best Movie Experience I've Had All Year

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-14 12:00:03

One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson's new movie (and the first of his set in the present day since 2002's Punch Drunk Love), takes place, well, now. It drops the viewer directly into a tumultuous, politically charged landscape and tackles some difficult subject matter. Yet, somehow, it doesn't feel that heavy. In fact, it's the best movie experience I've had in a movie theater all year. Leonardo DiCaprio leads the movie as Bob Ferguson, a washed-up revolutionary and former member of

After a six-week work trip Xiayun, an employee at a semiconductor company in Silicon Valley, had landed at her hometown in China for vacation when she saw the news about H-1B visas. On Friday afternoon, US president Donald Trump signed a proclamation saying that any H-1B visa holder’s entry into the US will be “restricted, except for those aliens whose petitions are accompanied or supplemented by a payment of $100,000.” The news left Xiayun and hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers scrambli

Why Local-First Apps Haven't Become Popular?

news.ycombinator.com Marco Bambini 2025-10-15 11:17:59

Offline-first apps sound like the future: instant loading, privacy by default, and no more spinning loaders on flaky connections. But in practice, very few apps get offline support right. Most simply queue changes locally and push them when the network comes back (spoiler: this doesn’t really work). Eventually, users see a scary banner saying “changes may not be saved.” The reason is simple: syncing is hard. When you build a local-first app, you’ve effectively created a distributed system. Mu

Tesla coast-to-coast FSD crashes after 60 miles

A duo of Tesla shareholder-influencers tried to complete Elon Musk’s coast-to-coast self-driving ride that he claimed Tesla would be able to do in 2017 and they crashed before making it about 60 miles. In 2016, Elon Musk infamously said that Tesla would complete a fully self-driving coast-to-coast drive between Los Angeles and New York by the end of 2017. The idea was to livestream or film a full unedited drive coast-to-coast with the vehicle driving itself at all times. We are in 2025 and Te

This proposal would force tech companies to use “client-side scanning” — so your private messages, photos, and files could be read before you send them, opening the door for hackers, corporations, and governments to spy on your data.
