wired.com Fernanda González 2025-12-31 16:00:00

Tuvalu is preparing to carry out the first planned migration of an entire country in response to the effects of climate change. Recent studies project that much of its territory could be submerged in the next 25 years due to rising sea levels, forcing its inhabitants to consider migration as an urgent survival measure. This island nation in Oceania is made up of nine coral islands and atolls inhabited by just over 11,000 people. The country’s average altitude is just 2 meters above sea level, m

The 47 Best Shows on Hulu Right Now (August 2025)

wired.com Jennifer M. Wood 2025-12-29 14:00:00

While Netflix seemingly led the way for other streaming networks to create compelling original programming, Hulu actually beat them all to the punch. In 2011, a year before Netflix’s Lilyhammer and two years before the arrival of House of Cards, the burgeoning streamer premiered The Morning After, a pop-culture-focused news show that ran for 800 episodes over three years. Hulu has continued to make TV history in the years since, most notably in 2017 when it became the first streamer to win an E

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A new Google Web Guide feature uses AI to sort search results into categories. It’s part of Search Labs and is now available under the Web tab for opted-in users. The feature could expand to other parts of Search as testing progresses.

Google will use AI to organize search results with Web Guide

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-01 17:11:35

Google's latest AI adventure is a new option for search. Web Guide is a new way that Google will organize search results based on analysis by a dedicated version of its Gemini artificial intelligence tool. The claim in the announcement is that AI can help surface the most relevant content, but it could also be a new way for Google to control what websites get prime billing in results.

‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Charts a Seafaring Course for Season 2

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-01-01 17:08:35

It was no surprise when Percy Jackson and the Olympians was renewed for a second season in early 2024—the Disney+ series was a hit when it premiered back in 2023, building on the popularity of Rick Riordan‘s fantasy-adventure novel series. Then—earlier this year, before season two even arrived—it was renewed for a third installment. That’s a huge boost of confidence for all involved, and the excitement came through in the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, held in the cavernous Hall H. Here’s Di

Search is changing at a breakneck pace, with Google rolling out new AI features so quickly it can be hard to keep up. So far, these AI implementations are being offered in addition to the traditional search experience. However, Google is now offering a sneak peek at how it may use AI to change the good old-fashioned list of blue links.

Google Neutralizes Its Rivals… For Now

For over two decades, “Google it” has been the default way to find answers online. Now that dominance is being tested by a new wave of AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and upstarts such as Perplexity, which deliver conversational answers instead of a list of links. These disruptors are being cast as a mortal threat to Google Search, long the undisputed king of the internet.

The first season of Ahsoka was about the search for Ezra Bridger. So it’s fitting that the very first thing we see from the second season of the show is that character. At the Lucasfilm Pavilion at San Diego Comic-Con, amid a slew of fanfare for the history of Star Wars animation, an image sits alone, with a big smile on its face. It’s Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, with a new costume that confirms his look in season two. When last we saw Ezra on Ahsoka, he had miraculously returned from Peridea

A Premium Luggage Service’s Web Bugs Exposed the Travel Plans of Every User—Including Diplomats

An airline leaving all of its passengers’ travel records vulnerable to hackers would make an attractive target for espionage. Less obvious, but perhaps even more useful for those spies, would be access to a premium travel service that spans 10 different airlines, left its own detailed flight information accessible to data thieves, and seems to be favored by international diplomats.
