Eyes of Wakanda feels like fanfiction turned into Marvel history

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. Similar to What If…?, Eyes of Wakanda leans hard into the fantastical and remixes pieces of the larger MCU canon in a way that makes it come across like Marvel-approved fanfiction. But the new series features much stronger visuals, and each of its four episodes tell self-contained narratives that have far more nuanced ideas about just

Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises

AI tools are widely used by software developers, but those devs and their managers are still grappling with figuring out how exactly to best put the tools to use, with growing pains emerging along the way. That's the takeaway from the latest survey of 49,000 professional developers by community and information hub StackOverflow, which itself has been heavily impacted by the addition of large language models (LLMs) to developer workflows. The survey found that four in five developers use AI too

The hype is the product

Large publicly traded tech companies seem to no longer consider their customers – that is, people and organizations who actually buy their products or pay for access to their services – their core focus. The focus has instead turned towards the stock price. Their real clients, the entities they really care about, are the stockholders. Reasons are many, perhaps one of them being that people making decisions tend to own stock options or have bonuses tied to stock performance of the companies they

Signing up for T Satellite without T-Mobile service isn’t as simple as it might sound

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T Satellite is now officially available nationwide, even for those without T-Mobile service, but signing up requires a phone call or an in-person visit. I decided to try signing up, and my experience was overall smooth and professional, though others have reported long waits or uninformed reps. I waited around an hour or so, though half this time was due to my own error. Recently, T Satellite officially exited beta and launched nationwide for both existin

Matt Shakman Thinks What Was Cut From ‘Fantastic Four’ Was for the ‘Greater Good’

It’s been just shy of a week since Marvel’s latest installment in its ever-expanding cinematic universe, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, released in theaters. While much of the hubbub about the film is generally favorable, verging on “we’re so back,” some online fans lamented over the movie seemingly leaving a lot of content from its trailer on the cutting room floor for their liking.

Survey of 1,000 Experts Shows Quantum Physicists Still Can’t Agree on Anything

In July 1925—exactly a century ago—famed physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his equally famous colleague, Wolfgang Pauli. In it, Heisenberg confesses that his “views on mechanics have become more radical with each passing day,” requesting Pauli’s prompt feedback on an attached manuscript he’s considering whether to “complete…or to burn.” That was the Umdeutung (reinterpretation) paper, which set the foundation for a more empirically verifiable version of quantum mechanics.

Linux 6.16: faster file systems, improved confidential memory, more Rust support

herraez/Getty Images The changes in the latest Linux kernel, Linux 6.16, may be small, but they include some significant ones. Linus Torvalds himself summed up this release as looking fine, small, and calm, but not "really not all that interesting (in all the best ways!)." Here's my list of what's new and improved. First, the Rust language is continuing to become more well-integrated into the kernel. At the top of my list is that the kernel now boasts Rust bindings for the driver core and PCI
