Hot Toys Just Gave Us Our Best Look Yet at Galactus Ahead of ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-08-07 19:04:42

Whenever a highly anticipated comic book film is released, toy manufacturers often reveal the looks of the main heroes and villains before they appear on the big screen. And like clockwork, Hot Toys has carried on that tradition by revealing The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ Galactus in all his celestial glory. Okay, we can’t entirely blame Hot Toys here. AMC theaters merchandised the Marvel big bad by transforming his big noggin into a popcorn bucket. And before that, Lego joined in on the mark

Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand Review: Grow Your Own

wired.com Kat Merck 2025-08-07 19:00:00

Upon receiving the Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand in the mail, I did not expect that I’d be enjoying some tea before I’d even unwrapped all the parts. “Is that … Zooey Deschanel? With a Dollar Tree Property Brother?” my husband asked, peering over my shoulder as I unpacked various tubes and parts. And indeed, among the boxes was a glossy handout of a slightly younger-looking Zooey, standing with a man who did vaguely resemble her current husband, Jonathan Scott, of Property Brothers fame.

The Download: how to run an LLM, and a history of “three-parent babies”

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-07 22:10:00

In the early days of large language models, there was a high barrier to entry: it used to be impossible to run anything useful on your own computer without investing in pricey GPUs. But researchers have had so much success in shrinking down and speeding up models that anyone with a laptop, or even a smartphone, can now get in on the action. For people who are concerned about privacy, want to break free from the control of the big LLM companies, or just enjoy tinkering, local models offer a co

Nintendo launches another Switch Online test program for 40,000 players

Nintendo has posted a call for participants for another Playtest Program, and this time, it's looking for 40,000 testers and not just 10,000 like in the first one. If you'll recall, Nintendo looked for 10,000 participants for the first Playtest event last year to test an unnamed, mysterious Switch Online feature.

I Never Cared Much for Swords. Then I Had to Fight with One

news.ycombinator.com Sandrine Rastello 2025-08-07 23:02:16

On a grey November afternoon, clad in a borrowed—and somewhat smelly—fencing outfit, I spent two hours going through the basics of the aspiring duellist: saluting before putting on the protective mask, pinching the grip of the sword with the thumb and index finger, gliding back and forth while keeping the feet planted. But this wasn’t the kind of fencing you see at the Olympics—the dazzling speed of the athletes, electronic scoring, and seemingly nonsensical rules. The instructions came with a t

This may be the final year without a folding iPhone. New reports this week suggest that Apple will launch the long-rumored folding iPhone in 2026. The latest buzz suggests that Apple is working with Samsung Display to help make the crease-free screen for the folding iPhone. It's no secret that Apple has been tinkering with bendable screen designs for years. The company has filed various patents about screens that fold, scroll and even self-heal from scratches.

5 security cameras you should buy instead of Google Nest ones

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It’s hard to blame anyone for feeling fed up with Google Nest cameras right now. The latest Nest Aware price hike means users will soon be paying up to $200 a year, with zero new features to show for it. That’s on top of already pricey hardware, limited local storage options, and a system that some feel might actually be getting worse rather than better.

No More Waiting: New Crypto Law Unlocks Cheaper, Faster Money for Everyone

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in legal limbo. It was too weird to regulate, too volatile to trust, and too new for Washington to take seriously. That just changed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal law regulating stablecoins, digital currencies backed by the U.S. dollar. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk, where it’s expected to become law. Here’s what it means for you, your money, and the financial system around you.

No, That Taste of Wine a Server Offers Is Not to See if You Like It. Here's Why

Ordering wine at a restaurant shouldn't be a stressful occasion, but there is plenty of language and ritual associated with wine that can feel foreign to the casual drinker. One such practice is the obligatory tasting after the bottle is opened and before it's poured for you and your guests. Despite what you -- and many others -- might think, this is not really to determine if you like the wine, but rather, to ensure the wine is not spoiled or "corked." Because of that, you don't even need to s
