Blood, Fire and Demogorgons Rain Down in New 'Stranger Things 5' Trailer

Remember that little-known Netflix show, Stranger Things? A new trailer is here to remind us that the super-famous sci-fi series is coming back later this year, and things in Hawkins are looking ominous.

The first four episodes will debut on Nov. 26, followed by three more on Dec. 25 and one more on Dec. 31. We last saw Eleven and the rest of the gang more than three

How long until Severance season 3? Apple TV+ exec gives update

Emmy nominations arrived yesterday, and Apple TV+ had it biggest year ever. Leading the pack was Severance, which scored the most nominations of any show, from any streamer. On the heels of the announcement, Apple TV+ programming head Matt Cherniss gave an update to Variety on the progress of Severance season 3’s development. Michael Schneider writes at Variety: Asked whether Season 3 was on track, Cherniss said…“I know they’re going as quickly as they can. When you have the success that a sho

No One Is Safe in the First Teaser for ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5

The beginning of the end for Stranger Things draws near as Netflix unleashes the first teaser for its hit franchise’s return.

Take a look at the edge-of-your-seat thrills in the t

Peter Thiel just bought a big stake in Tom Lee's ether company and the shares are surging

Peter Thiel, president and founder of Clarium Capital Management LLC, holds hundred dollars bills as he speaks during the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, Florida, U.S., on Thursday, April 7, 2022.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Is Back: How to Watch Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah's Final Season

It's not summer without you. Jenny Han's The Summer I Turned Pretty is back this week for its third and final season. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the final installment for more than a year now, and from what we've seen in the official season trailer, this is bound to be another drama-filled summer -- there might even be a wedding?

Before iOS 26, Apple Will Release at Least One More iOS 18 Update Soon

Before Apple releases iOS 26 this fall, the company will likely release iOS 18.6 in the next few weeks. The company released the third public beta of the software on July 15, but it didn't change much on the iPhones of developers and beta testers. While iOS 26 will bring a major redesign to iPhones, the latest beta is filled with bug and security fixes, so developers and beta testers shouldn't expect new features. Apple/Screenshot by CNET Since this is a beta, I recommend downloading it on som

Metadata Shows That Critical Minutes Were Deleted From the Epstein Video

Try as he might, President Donald Trump is failing miserably to get the world to move on from the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein crisis. Trump's loyal fan base devolved into a cesspool of conspiracy theories after the White House walked back claims about the late billionaire sex criminal, concluding that Epstein had no "client list" and that the sex criminal had killed himself in jail, rather than being killed to keep him silent. In a wildly backfired attempt to sweep the affair under the rug

You’re Gonna Be Waiting a While for the Return of ‘Last of Us’ or ‘Penguin’

Genre shows made a huge impact on today’s Emmy announcements, with Apple TV+’s Severance leading the charge for most-nominated title overall with recognition in 27 categories. But HBO’s The Penguin wasn’t far behind with 24, and though you might expect that to mean the studio would be actively working on more episodes—well, it’s complicated, given the show’s positioning within Matt Reeves‘ The Batman universe. Speaking to Variety, HBO and HBO Max CEO and content chairman Casey Bloys—who would s

OpenAI's image model gets built-in style feature on ChatGPT

OpenAI's image gen model, which is available via ChatGPT for free, now lets you easily create AI images even if you're not familiar with trends or prompt engineering. Right now, if you want to create outstanding anime art, you need to come up with a very well-written prompt, and then ChatGPT will process your request. While prompt engineering is necessary, you might not always get the quality you're expecting from the AI. GPT Styles Source: BleepingComputer.com To help you easily create ima

This security-minded Linux distribution makes it easy to browse anonymously

Ger Bosma/Getty There are some Linux distributions that were created for specific purposes. There are those for creating multimedia, developing software, network routing, ethical hacking, general use, and everything in between. And then there are some distributions that can easily serve multiple purposes. When I think of ParrotOS, I generally think of security: forensics, penetration testing, etc. I've used ParrotOS for similar purposes before, but always neglected to test the Home edition.

East Asian aerosol cleanup has likely contributed to global warming

RAMIP simulations and recent emissions changes in East Asia We first document the emissions perturbation applied in the RAMIP baseline and East Asia simulations21 (see “Methods”), and compare them to the actual emissions reductions from the same region since around 2010. Briefly, RAMIP isolates the climate effects of aerosol emissions in one region by comparing two sets of transient emission simulations; one following a global, high emissions pathway (SSP3-7.0, which assumes weak air quality po

How incel language infected the mainstream internet — and brought its toxicity with it

This excerpt from Adam Aleksic’s Algospeak: How Social Media Is Transforming the Future of Language has been abridged for online publication. The book is out on July 15th. The modern-­day incel is entirely an invention of the twenty-­first century. Before the internet, lonely men simply didn’t have a way to gather and share ideas. That all began to change in 1997, when a Canadian student started a website called Alana’s Involuntary Celibacy Project to connect with others over her shared lack of

How to scale RL to 10^26 FLOPs

TLDR: Reinforcement learning (RL) is the next training technique for building frontier-level AI models. To make it better, we need to train on more data. The current approach of scaling many environments simultaneously is messy and complicated. Instead, I propose we find a way to do next-token prediction on the Web using RL. This way, we learn to reason from general web data, instead of just math and code. I’ve spent a good part of the past year in denial. I was in denial because when OpenAI r

EA is reportedly hitting the brakes on the Need for Speed franchise

The Need for Speed franchise could be making its last laps — at least for the time being. Matthew Everingham, a photographer who frequently contributed to car culture website Speedhunters, said in social media posts that Electronic Arts has "shelved Need for Speed" and is "quietly parking" the series. Speedhunters, which was funded by EA and was last updated in April of this year, will also reportedly cease operations for now. EA hasn't released an official statement on the fate of the Need for

I’ve been using Garmin watches for 5 years and just discovered this clever trick

Ryan Haines / Android Authority At this point, I’ve probably reviewed more than a dozen Garmin watches since taking my place as Android Authority’s resident runner. You might say it’s become a big part of my personality, but I’d argue it always was one. I’ve spent countless hours logging countless miles (alright, Strava probably has an accurate number) across everything from the Instinct to the Forerunner to the Fenix, and I thought I knew everything there was to know about Garmin’s lineup.

This Month, ‘Dan Da Dan’ Makes the Jump to Toonami

Good news for fans of the Dan Da Dan anime: it’s coming to Toonami. The hit shonen romcom will air the dubbed version of its first season on Saturday, July 26 at 12:30 AM ET, just after Dragon Ball Daima. That’s good news for those who missed that season last year or want to further support the show, which is just a handful of episodes into season two. At time of writing, there’s no word on whether Toonami will also air season one’s subbed version; it’s currently airing the Lazarus sub and prev

These ‘4K-Like’ AR Glasses Are Actually Only 1080p, but I Want Them All the Same

When it comes to gadget specs, it’s best to be precise. For example, if you were buying a TV, you may want to know the resolution, and if you showed up to Best Buy and the tag on your brand-spanking-new Sony said “kind of, sort of, 4K,” you’d probably have some questions. Same goes for AR glasses, in my opinion, but that didn’t stop Viture from slapping “4K-like” branding on all of its new frames. It also doesn’t stop me from wanting them all the same. Viture announced a few pairs of upcoming A

Hot Tick Summer Is Here. Here’s What You Need to Know and How to Stay Safe

Summer in the U.S. is now in full swing. That means plenty of outdoor fun, Sun, and, unfortunately, for many of us, tiny eight-legged ticks to avoid. Ticks and the many illnesses they carry, like Lyme disease, are a growing public health threat. Just this week, for instance, the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that 2025 so far has seen the highest number of tick-related emergency room visits recorded since 2019. And though the worst tick species are especi

Alexander Skarsgård Ruined Multiple ‘Murderbot’ Finale Scenes by Crying

Season one of Murderbot wrapped up in a way that was sad yet hopeful—read io9’s recap here—with the underlying joy for fans that the Apple TV+ series will be returning to adapt more of Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries stories. And Alexander Skarsgård, who plays the title character, felt plenty of human emotion welling up while he was portraying the self-aware robot in the finale. Speaking to Collider, the actor, who’s also one of Murderbot‘s executive producers, spoke about the scene, in which h

Everything to Remember Before ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Returns for Season 3

It’s been a long wait for the return of Strange New Worlds: almost two whole years since the cliffhanger of season two’s ending. It all resumes in next week’s season three premiere, picking up where we left off with the Enterprise crew. And while it was quite a place to leave them, we’ll forgive you if you’re hazy on the details. Here are a few things to remember from the finale, and things to know about the next season, as we get ready to return to the world of Star Trek. The Grip of the Gorn

Your Weekend Streaming Watch List: 'Dexter: Resurrection,' 'Foundation,' 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and more
