We can't find the internet Something went wrong! Hang in there while we get back on track
Of all the sports, football clearly lends itself best to horror. It’s a violent battle and requires players to do things to their bodies that no person would normally do. That’s why those players get paid so much, which then opens up a whole other can of worms. Those points may seem like obvious ways to evoke the horror genre, but it’s not something that happens very often. A horror sports movie? It’s unique. Him, the new film from director Justin Tipping and producer Jordan Peele, embraces all
In 2014, University of California, Berkeley biologist Robert Dudley wrote a book called The Drunken Monkey: Why We Drink and Abuse Alcohol. His controversial "drunken monkey hypothesis" proposed that the human attraction to alcohol goes back about 18 million years, to the origin of the great apes, and that social communication and sharing food evolved to better identify the presence of fruit from a distance. At the time, skeptical scientists insisted that this was unlikely because chimpanzees an
Finding product-market fit isn’t a milestone — it’s a messy, make-or-break journey. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 — taking place October 27–29 at Moscone West in San Francisco — Rajat Bhageria (Chef Robotics), Ann Bordetsky (NEA), and Murali Joshi (ICONIQ) break down how to navigate this critical phase.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang descended on the United Kingdom this week, armed with a pledge to invest £2 billion ($2.6 billion) to supercharge the country’s AI startup ecosystem. Wayve, the UK-based self-driving tech startup, could be one of those to receive funds from Nvidia’s AI investment commitment, the company told TechCrunch. Wayve said it has signed a letter of intent with Nvidia to evaluate a $500 million strategic investment in the U.K. startup’s next funding round. Nvidia participated in W
Microsoft has begun rolling out the beta version of its AI-powered Gaming Copilot to Windows 11 systems for users aged 18 or older, excluding those in mainland China. Tagged as a "personal gaming sidekick," Gaming Copilot will also be pushed to Xbox mobile app users on Apple and Android devices starting next month. To start using Gaming Copilot in the Game Bar, Windows users must install the Xbox PC app on their PC and use the Windows logo key + G keyboard shortcut to open the Game Bar. Next,

AI agents will assist in Teams meetings and messaging channels. These features solidify companies adopting agentic AI tools to increase employee productivity. Productivity-centered AI tools for enterprises are becoming commonplace -- a recent study hailed Microsoft as one of the most dominant sources of AI-powered productivity too
At this point, most people know that chatbots are capable of hallucinating responses, making up sources, and spitting out misinformation. But chatbots can lie in more human-like ways, “scheming” to hide their true goals and deceiving the humans who have given them instructions. New research from OpenAI and Apollo Research seems to have figured out ways to tamp down some of these lies, but the fact that it is happening at all should probably give users pause. At the core of the issue with AI int
Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it was going to reject the work it had done back in 2009, when it first determined that greenhouse gas emissions posed a threat to the US public. While it laid out a number of reasons for revisiting its earlier work, one of those focused on the science: The EPA's original decision was over 15 years old, and it claimed our understanding of climate change had itself changed since then. The National Academies of Science (NAS) de
Other Smartwatches to Consider The number of smartwatches on the market is staggering. I’ve tested models from Tag Heuer, Citizen, Montblanc, and many other fashion brands, but most of them are simply too expensive for what you get. Here are a few options I like.

Valve's Steam client is pretty widely compatible with all kinds of newer and older operating systems—that's what you do when you want as many people as possible spending their money in your store. But nothing lasts forever, and Valve does eventually end support for old software when it's time to move on. The company announced in a support note today that it would be ending Steam client support for 32-bit versions of Windows on January 1, 2026. "Existing Steam Client installations will continue

Apple unveiled its iPhone 17 lineup earlier this month during the Apple event, and the launch did not disappoint. The new iPhones went on sale Friday, whether you're after the base iPhone 17, the new iPhone Air, the 17 Pro or the larger 17 Pro Max. As beautiful as a naked iPhone looks, protecting your new device is essential. Many of your favorite brands, such as Otterbox, Burga, Casetify and more, have released a swath of new cases for the latest iPhone models. Apple has dropped a line of case
As an active mom, I enjoy doing a variety of activities to stay fit. I lift weights to get stronger (carrying a toddler around challenges your overall strength), go for walks to clear my mind, run to get my heart rate up and take a fitness class here and there. Before having my son, I completed my first marathon, several half-marathons and shorter races in between. But running took a backseat after my second trimester because I was advised not to do activity in the summer heat while heavily pre
Ouch. Two flying cars collided with each other during an airshow rehearsal in Changchun, a city in northeastern China. Videos on social media show emergency response vehicles at the scene as a big plume of dark smoke billows from one of the wrecks. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anybody involved in the crash between the two electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, developed by the Xpeng AeroHT subsidiary of EV giant Xpeng, was seriously hurt. However, one unnamed company
Right now, you can get one year of Starz streaming service for just $24 when you prepay for the entire year. That's $46 less than the usual annual cost. There's also a month-to-month option, which is offering the first three months for $4 per month instead of the usual $11; that's a 64 percent discount. Starz may not be one of the most prominent streamers, but it still makes our list of best streaming deals when it's offered at such a great value. The service offers a deep catalog of recognizab

A US court has cleared the way for the National Science Foundation to press ahead with the cancellation of more than 1,700 research grants worth upwards of $1 billion. The ruling, handed down this week by Judge Jia Cobb of the DC District Court, rejects a request from researchers, universities and scientific societies to reinstate the cancelled grants while the case is heard. The plaintiffs had argued that NSF's mass terminations were arbitrary, unlawful and would do irreparable harm to the cou
Due to ongoing restrictions, Huawei doesn't officially sell its products in the US. That's too bad, as the company is bringing a great Apple Watch Series 11 alternative to the rest of the world, where it can sell its devices. The company's latest Watch GT 6 Pro is a solid all-around smartwatch promising deep health and sports tracking along with strong battery life. Those features are all wrapped up in a premium-feeling design. I've been using the watch around my home of Edinburgh, Scotland, fo
Earlier this year, Apple introduced its Foundation Models framework during WWDC 2025, which allows developers to use the company’s local AI models to power features in their applications. The company touted that with this framework, developers gain access to AI models without worrying about any inference cost. Plus, these local models have capabilities such as guided generation and tool calling built in. As iOS 26 is rolling out to all users, developers have been updating their apps to include
A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit where music publishers sued the Internet Archive over the Great 78 Project, an effort to preserve early music recordings that only exist on brittle shellac records. No details of the settlement have so far been released, but a court filing on Monday confirmed that the Internet Archive and UMG Recordings, Capitol Records, Sony Music Entertainment, and other record labels "have settled this matter." More details may come in the next 45 days, when parties
While I am almost certainly the least-prolific videographer on the planet, I am finally starting a long-planned series of interviews on my fledgling YouTube channel. The first of these went live this week, and I’m aiming for roughly one a month from now on.

OpenAI has rolled out a big update to ChatGPT Search, which is an AI-powered search feature, similar to Google AI Mode. After a recent update, ChatGPT Search is more accurate and reliable. You'll also notice that it's more useful than before because it accurately summarises the links, and allows you to follow back. OpenAI says GPT Search now makes fewer hallucinations, improving answer quality. In addition, search is better at detecting shopping intent, showing products when you want them and
Autumn is a time for renewal. Summer, a time for vacations and relaxation, is over. And now, we must look to the start of a new school year and a renewed attention to work. It can sometimes be difficult to make the transition — many of us would rather spend a little more time in that hammock than planning the next project — and so we’ve put together a group of articles to try and help make it easier. There’s a wide range of articles here to encourage you to upgrade to a more stimulated, constru
The Galaxy maker elaborated on this approach in its post: Recalling and repeating short sentences can evaluate short-term memory-related brain regions, while assessing speech fluency and accuracy reveals the state of language ability. Likewise, the regularity and variety of app and messaging use, along with call frequency, can offer insights into social networks and the brain’s executive functions. In short, the study demonstrated that brain regions responsible for language and short-term memo
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR We’ve spotted a major redesign in the works for the Google Home, with Gemini at its center. The update will introduce “Gemini for Home,” replacing Google Assistant with an AI for more conversational interactions and advanced controls. The app’s layout is being simplified, with the “Favorites” tab renamed to “Home” and a new “Ask Home” search bar to access Gemini. Google is gearing up for some big changes to Google Home. New hardware is coming in the
Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Google is constantly pushing the boundaries of AI in its Phone app, and the new Voice Translate feature on the Pixel 10 series is one of its most ambitious attempts yet. The idea is to break down language barriers in real time and make phone conversations smoother when you and the person on the other end speak completely different languages. What’s even more fascinating is that Voice Translate attempts to mimic the voice of the speakers in order to make convers
Streaming services keep raising prices. At this point, if you subscribe to all the major services out there, you're basically paying the same price as cable — those antiquated local monopolies that streaming was supposed to save us from. But streaming still has one big advantage over the old ways: no contracts. That means you can grab a good streaming deal and then cancel without penalty. Our advice is to sign up for a service when you see a good streaming deal (or the latest season of, say, Do
Revealed at Meta’s Connect 2025 conference, the Ray-Ban Display has a small, integrated display on the right lens, designed for quick, discreet glances at notifications, directions and even video calls. The clever part is its subtlety; to an onlooker, you’re just wearing a pair of Ray-Bans, not accessing a tiny screen with your peripheral vision. (Although you will appear to offer multiple pensive stares into the middle-distance) Paired with a Meta Neural Band, which you wear on your wrist, the
