That would be Lucas Wars, the newly translated version of a story originally published in 2023 by French journalist Laurent Hopman and illustrator Renaud Roche. The graphic novel tells of George Lucas’ decade-long journey to get the classic sci-fi film made, starting from him surviving a car accident to his journey through film school and clashes with 20th Century Fox.

Belkin showcased a range of recently released Qi2.2 magnetic wireless chargers at IFA 2025, along with other charging accessories and wireless earbuds. Nestled in all of this were two products that immediately caught my eye: the Belkin UltraCharge Magnetic Charger 25W and the SoundForm USB-C Wired Earbuds with ANC. I want to talk about that second product, because this is something that has been stuck in a tiny space in the back of my mind for years. I rarely actively seek out noise-canceling w

What Are AI Hallucinations? Why Chatbots Make Things Up, and What You Need to Know

If you've used ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Grok, Claude, Perplexity or any other generative AI tool, you've probably seen them make things up with complete confidence. This is called an AI hallucination -- although one research paper suggests we call it BS instead -- and it's an inherent flaw that should give us all pause when using AI. Hallucinations happen when AI models generate information that looks plausible but is false, misleading or entirely fabricated. It can be as small as a wrong date i
