‘Star Trek’ Is Born on ‘Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-08-17 04:15:05

A few weeks ago in Strange New Worlds‘ up-and-down third season, “A Space Adventure Hour” delivered a deeply unsubtle paean to the creation of Star Trek. This week, Strange New Worlds does much the same: but this time the birth of Star Trek is within the text itself, making for a much more interesting lens on the birth of an icon. From the moment that it opens, it becomes clear that “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail” (named for a Vulcan idiom that Spock uses later on) is not going to be a typical ep

Google is continually expanding and strengthening the features for NotebookLM, its free AI-powered research assistant. An upcoming feature, code-named Magic View, should eventually land in the Studio panel alongside popular features like Audio and Video Overviews. At the moment, there's no clear indication as to what Magic View is (or will do) when it formally arrives in NotebookLM, but it's clear that Google keeps improving what I'd consider its best AI tool available today.

The 10 Best Movies Peacock Has to Offer

Peacock deserves its flowers. The platform may not be mentioned as much in the ongoing streaming conversation -- heavy-hitters like Netflix, Disney Plus and Prime Video seem to have things on lock in that sense. That said, the NBC Universal-owned streamer is jam-packed with must-watch movies of all types. And I think this is something more people should be talking about. Universal Pictures has a stellar reputation for releasing box office hits and Oscar-winning movies. It's been doing this for

Getting clones taken down can be an exhausting process for developers. Small studios have less time, energy and resources to dedicate to this process, and they’re at the whims of the digital distribution platforms these games exist on. Wren Brier, Unpacking’s creative director, says that since the game’s release in 2021, developer Witch Beam has reported over 80 clones. “It feels like whack-a-mole sometimes,” Brier says.

Airbrush art of the 80s was Chrome-tastic (2015)

The 80’s was a decade of many things — excess, greed, and big hair, to name a few — but it was also the heyday for airbrush art. As a teenager in the late 80’s, I desperately wanted an airbrush so I could paint my favorite band logos on the back of my jean jacket, and maybe make some money on the side painting t-shirts and license plates.

August 13, 2025・6 minute read Many software projects take a long time to compile. Sometimes that’s just due to the sheer amount of code, like in the LLVM project. But often a build is slower than it should be for dumb, fixable reasons. I’ve had the suspicion that most builds are doing dumb stuff, but I had no way to see it. So I’ve been working on a cross-platform tool to help speed up builds (you can try it, see below). It works with any build system or programming language (Not just C/C++).

I love my grill, but standing over blazing flames in 90-degree weather isn't my idea of summer fun.
