Oh Dear, ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-10-28 04:30:55

At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Paramount teased our very first look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season with a clip that proved to be rather baffling. A contextless gag that saw Pike, Chapel, La’an, and Uhura seemingly permanently transformed into Vulcans, the clip immediately sparked discussion about the Vulcan crew’s sudden racially prejudiced treatment of Spock as, well, the extra half-Vulcan among them.

Threads is testing a new feature that makes it easy to share long-form text on the social network, Meta confirmed to TechCrunch on Thursday. The feature lets users attach a block of text to a post instead of creating a thread of several different posts when looking to share more in-depth thoughts and ideas.

Rumored PS6 Handheld Could Steal the Switch 2’s Best Features

There’s something so intoxicatingly convenient about a game handheld. Despite the fact the Nintendo Switch 2’s design hasn’t changed from its 8-year-old prequel, it’s still the epitome of gaming thanks to the dock that connects it to your TV. Sony’s PlayStation brand seems to be hedging on the same bet Nintendo made nearly a decade ago. The latest rumors and leaks suggest Sony’s rumored PlayStation 6 handheld could also dock with a TV and offer even better performance than both the Switch 2 and

Originally developed by Tesla, NACS has a different plug but uses the same electronic communication protocols as CCS, and adoption of NACS thus makes all those non-Tesla electric vehicles compatible with the extensive Tesla Supercharger net

Nearly a year ago, GM began selling an adapter to allow existing electric vehicles use the North American Charging Standard plugs at Tesla Supercharger stalls. EV owners rejoiced in their newfound freedom. Now, GM is announcing three more adapters. The additional adapters, which help GM customers access EV chargers with different charging rates and standards, is a win for flexibility, but at the cost of simplicity. It’s entirely possible that two-EV households could own four different adapters.

The 2020 book is based on William Shakespeare and his wife as they grieve the loss of one of their children, which would go on to inspire Hamlet. It makes sense that after making a movie where the Academy Award-winning director’s voice felt pulled in many directions, a more intimate movie would be her next choice.
