Report: Deadpool Will Make His MCU Return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-19 11:51:24

It seems Ryan Reynolds wasn’t trolling his fans after all. Earlier this week, the Deadpool actor posted a logo from Deadpool & Wolverine teasing a connection to the Avengers. Was he joking? Was he not? Well, it turns out, he wasn’t. Deadpool will reportedly appear in some capacity in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. He just won’t be a member of the team. The Hollywood Reporter reported the news of the character’s addition and io9 has reached out to Marvel Studios for any clarity or confirmation

Tiny, removable “mini SSD” could eventually be a big deal for gaming handhelds

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-20 02:13:47

Earlier this year, Nintendo helped popularize the microSD Express standard by requiring it for the new Switch 2 console. Created in 2019, the specification had languished in relative obscurity for years because the cheap, plentiful non-Express microSD cards were generally fast enough for the things that people were using them for, and because most hardware didn't support microSD Express cards in the first place. However, Nintendo's console needed performance closer to that of an internal SSD to

I depend on earbuds to keep my runs from feeling like a chore. This is especially so during the hot summer months, when any distraction from the heat is a necessity. When I go on longer runs, I need earbuds that can not only tolerate my copious sweat, but also not constantly remind me that I have something on my ears. Because of the amount of sweat I produce when running, I can't wear traditional earbuds (I've destroyed at least a dozen pairs), which means I have to use either bone-conducting h

For Legends: Z-A’s battle system, I rewired the Pokémon part of my brain

Even if you’ve never played a Pokémon game before, you can probably figure out how the type chart works. Fire types are weak to water types, water is weak to grass, and grass is weak to fire. Type matchups are foundational to Pokémon battles, far before you get into the weeds of stats and strats. I’ve had the Pokémon type chart memorized for around 25 years. That still didn’t stop me from making a rookie error in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. I panicked and sent out my Weedle against an NPC’s Pidgeotto

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++).
