I made my VM think it has a CPU fan

Why bother? Some malware samples are known to do various checks to determine if they are running in a virtual machine. One of the common checks is to look for the presence of certain hardware components that are typically not emulated in virtualized environments. One such component is the CPU fan. One of the observed ways malware checks for the presence of a CPU fan is by looking for the Win32_Fan class in WMI: wmic path Win32_Fan get * And the reason they do this is they want to avoid runnin

Jon Watts Left ‘Fantastic Four’ to Get His Groove Back

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-08-22 08:30:24

Before Matt Shakman took over directing duties for the MCU’s first Fantastic Four movie, Jon Watts was in charge. The director of the Spider-Man: Home trilogy dropped out in 2022, and his reasons for leaving are completely valid: he had to take a much-needed break. During a recent storytelling class at the Mediterrane Film Festival, Watts revealed he was basically “out of gas” by the time he was wrapping Spider-Man: No Way Home, which was shot in the early days of the pandemic.

This week, we’re going to take a close look at arguably the most famous and recognizable Roman battle sequence in film: the iconic opening battle from Gladiator (2000). Despite being a relatively short sequence (about ten minutes), there’s actually enough to talk about here that we’re going to split it over two weeks, talking about the setup – the battlefield, army composition, equipment and battle plan – this week and then the actual conduct of the battle next week.

Why Does the Return of ‘Friday the 13th’ Have to Be… Like This?

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-08-24 15:00:18

Though previously troubled, the Peacock and A24 series Crystal Lake is now moving full speed ahead—Linda Cardellini will star as Jason Voorhees’ equally murderous mom, Pamela Voorhees—Friday the 13th fans are still longing to see Jason return to the big screen. The rights to the franchise have been in a legal tangle for years, with Sean S. Cunningham, who directed and produced the 1980 original, recently speculating that a new Friday the 13th movie is still a far-off notion. That’s still seemin

The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens next month. Marvel Studios has been ramping up its marketing efforts for The Fantastic Four: First Steps in recent weeks, culminating with the release of one last trailer before the film premieres next month. While prior efforts have focused on the (very cool) 1950s/Tomorrowland kitschy vibe of the film, this newest trailer emphasizes the family angle is chock-full of lots of good old-fashioned superhero action, as the quartet takes on a world-devouring cos

Best Tower Fans for 2025: We Found What Beats the Heat

Why I like it: In ultrahigh-end tower fans, Dyson is awfully tough to beat. Its latest, the Dyson TP07, is a behemoth with king-size activated carbon and glass HEPA air filters hugging the base intake. That allows it to purify the air it puts out, removing things like dust and allergens from the air you breathe. Dyson claims it can catch particles as small as 0.3 microns wide. You don't have to spend that much on every air purifier but if you want a combo option this is the elite choice. The D
