We Almost Lived in a Timeline Where ‘Morbius’ Was Made by ‘Midsommar’ Director Ari Aster

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-08-26 15:03:29

Marvel’s perpetually delayed Blade movie, which took on new life as the costuming for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, may never see the light of day. But it’s worth remembering we did already get a vampire movie centered on a Marvel character: a certain Dr. Michael Morbius. Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster has now confirmed that at one point, he was asked to direct the Spider-Man spin-off movie, and the mind reels at what might have been.

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve always believed that more is better when it comes to health-tracking metrics. If I’m wearing a GPS watch all day and all night, I want to know what it’s picking up and how I can best use that to my advantage. And when I always have a Garmin on my wrist, I know exactly how much data I have to look forward to. I know that I can tap into a Morning and an Evening Report on my Forerunner 970, and I’ve noticed that it’s made a few of my colleagues jealous. The

This Turbo Escooter Wants to Set a Guinness World Record

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-08-27 07:00:00

The fastest I've ever ridden on an electric kick scooter is close to 40 miles an hour, and it was terrifying. UK-based escooter company Bo wants to go even faster—more than 100 miles per hour—and set a Guinness World Record in the process. Bo is a relative newcomer in the micromobility space, and its team is peppered with former members of Williams Formula One Advanced Engineering. It launched its first scooter, the hand-assembled Bo M, a year and a half ago in the UK and European Union, and it

Karl Urban is a wise-cracking Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-28 07:06:01

Karl Urban takes a break from The Boys to play a washed-up Johnny Cage in the trailer for Mortal Kombat II, a sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat reboot and the fourth live-action film in the franchise based on the 1990s video game series. It comes one day after Warner Bros. released a (very entertaining) fake trailer for a new in-universe, faux 1990s Johnny Cage movie, Uncaged Fury.

Warner Bros. has finally unveiled the new trailer for Mortal Kombat II, the sequel to its 2021 video game adaptation. It stars Karl Urban as B-movie star Johnny Cage, and the character is front and center in this new clip.

That is, they use the same memory for both graphics (GPU) and main computations (CPU). The M2 processor relies on LPDDR5 memory whereas the M4 relies on LPDDR5X which should provide slightly more bandwidth. The exact bandwidth you get from an Apple system depends on your configuration.
