gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-01-04 04:00:45

Friday’s Fantastic Four: First Steps reintroduces moviegoers to Galactus, one of the heroes’ biggest (literally) enemies. While comics fans love that he’s actually a giant man this time around and not a cloud, the bigger selling point is that Ralph Ineson, who lent his deep voice and whole body to portray the comics character. Talking to the Hollywood Reporter, Ineson discussed the process of bringing Galactus to giant-sized life. He’d been offered the role by director Matt Shakman, who Ineson

Sony is finally making it possible to pair a DualSense with more than one device

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-04 09:17:15

Sony is bringing a welcome quality-of-life feature to the PlayStation 5. In the next PS5 system update beta, players will be able to have their DualSense controllers synced with multiple hardware platforms at the same time. That means you could swap a controller from a PS5 to your gaming PC to your smartphone without needing to re-pair the DualSense each time. Up to four devices can be simultaneously paired with a single controller, and each of them will be mapped to one of the action buttons.

Trump’s AI strategy trades guardrails for growth in race against China

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-01-05 09:57:21

The Trump administration published its much-anticipated AI Action Plan on Wednesday, a document that takes a sharp shift away from former President Biden’s cautious approach to addressing the risks of AI, and instead barrels ahead with plans to build out AI infrastructure, cut red tape for tech companies, shore up national security, and compete with China. The downstream effects of this shift will likely ripple throughout various industries and may even be felt by the average American consumer.

Newly Discovered Gut ‘Sense’ Could Change How We Think About Hunger and Health

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-01-05 14:30:39

There really is something to the concept of having a gut feeling. New research out today suggests our bodies can directly sense and communicate with the many bacteria lining our digestive tract. Scientists at Duke University led the study, published Wednesday in Nature. They found that nerve cells can respond in real time to bacterial signals from the gut—including signals that tell us to curb our appetite. The findings suggest the relationship we have with our microbial neighbors is even more

Trump’s AI Action Plan Is a Crusade Against ‘Bias’—and Regulation

On Wednesday, the Trump Administration unveiled its new artificial intelligence action plan geared at keeping US efforts competitive with China. With over 90 policies recommended, it’s a wide-ranging document that, if followed, would give Silicon Valley’s most powerful companies even more leeway to grow. “We believe we’re in an AI race,” White House AI czar David Sacks said on a call ahead of the action plan’s release. “We want the United States to win that race.” The Office of Science and Tech

Reverse engineering GitHub Actions cache to make it fast

Before this work began, we already had a faster alternative to Github Actions cache.

But my coworkers weren’t satisfied with that solution, since it required users to change a single line of code. Apart from the user experience, maintaining these forks steadily turned into a nightmare for us. We kept at it for a while, but eventually reached an in

It’s easily the best Fantastic Four movie ever, and yet, falls just short of being fully “fantastic.” Nevertheless, it’s still highly enjoyable.

Kevin Feige Says Mephisto Was Never the Plan for ‘WandaVision’

By the time Mephisto, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, appeared at the end of Ironheart to strike a sinister deal with Riri Williams, it felt almost anticlimactic for Marvel fans. That’s because it was long anticipated that the character would appear on WandaVision, or perhaps, when that didn’t happen, its witchy spin-off Agatha All Along. There were certainly teases about it, but it wasn’t meant to be until Marvel’s most recent series—and that’s according to Kevin Feige himself. As reported by CBR
