This week, Disney announced new details for its big expansion, including a new esplanade entry experience, where the Coco ride will be, and what old attractio

Tesla faces protests in Austin over Musk's robotaxi plans

This New ‘Superman’ Spot Tells Us the Movie’s Gonna Cut to the Chase About Clark and Lois

There might finally be an answer about whether or not Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) knows if Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is really the caped superhero in red trunks, and it’s slipped into a quick teaser DC Studios just unleashed for Superman. While previous iterations of Superman’s love interest may have fallen for the glasses trick, the idea that being bespectacled could hide the Man of Steel’s true identity has always been a ridiculous notion. Director James Gunn has seemingly side-stepped th

New paper pushes back on Apple’s LLM ‘reasoning collapse’ study

Apple’s recent AI research paper, “The Illusion of Thinking”, has been making waves for its blunt conclusion: even the most advanced Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) collapse on complex tasks. But not everyone agrees with that framing. Today, Alex Lawsen, a researcher at Open Philanthropy, published a detailed rebuttal arguing that many of Apple’s most headline-grabbing findings boil down to experimental design flaws, not fundamental reasoning limits. The paper also credits Anthropic’s Claude Opus

We found a germ that 'feeds' on hospital plastic – new study

Plastic pollution is one of the defining environmental challenges of our time – and some of nature’s tiniest organisms may offer a surprising way out. In recent years, microbiologists have discovered bacteria capable of breaking down various types of plastic, hinting at a more sustainable path forward. These “plastic-eating” microbes could one day help shrink the mountains of waste clogging landfills and oceans. But they are not always a perfect fix. In the wrong environment, they could cause

Apple's Liquid Glass is prep work for AR interfaces, not just a design refresh

Apple's introduction of Liquid Glass at WWDC 2025 represents far more than a visual refresh. It's a calculated strategic repositioning that reveals how the company thinks about the next decade of human-computer interaction. While the design community debates readability and the tech press focuses on the absence of major AI announcements, Apple is quietly executing a playbook that should feel familiar to anyone who remembers the iPhone's introduction: prepare users for a paradigm shift by making

'No Kings’ Protests, Citizen-Run ICE Trackers Trigger Intelligence Warnings

As protests continue to swell across the United States in response to aggressive Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions, civilians are turning to homebrew digital tools to track ICE arrests and raids in real time. But restricted government documents, obtained by the nonprofit watchdog Property of the People, show that US intelligence agencies are now eyeing the same tools as potential threats. A law enforcement investigation involving the maps is also apparently underway. Details about Sat

The best Chromebooks for students in 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

The Plane That Crashed Yesterday Was the Same One a Dead Boeing Whistleblower Warned About

Last year, a former quality manager at Boeing warned that the factory that made the 787 Dreamliner—one of the company’s newer models of airplane—was plagued by shoddy work practices and poor oversight. John Barnett, who had worked for the airplane manufacturer for many years before becoming one of its most outspoken critics, said that Boeing was building the planes with ‘sub-standard’ parts and that its mandate of speed and efficiency was endangering lives. Barnett, who refused to fly on the Dre

Alaska, Where Only 2% of Homes Have AC, Just Issued Its First Heat Advisory Ever

Alaska just crossed a first off its bucket list with the first-ever heat advisory for Sunday, June 15. Temperatures in central Alaska are expected to reach 86 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 30 Celsius) through the weekend and into the week of June 16. It's not as if Alaska never gets hot in the summer. However, as Jason Laney, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fairbanks, Alaska, told CNET, "The frequency with which the heat is coming up is starting to be a bi

Former Tesla Dealership Manager Says It's "Game Over" for Elon Musk

Back in May, as Tesla Takedown rallies and anti-Musk vandalism rocked the world, Tesla dealership manager Matthew LaBrot launched "Tesla Employees Against Elon" — an act of protest that swiftly got him fired. We wrote about LaBrot's symbolic act of defiance against Musk's political maneuvers at the time. Now, a fresh tell-all interview with Hard Reset is shining some light on just how drastically things have changed for Tesla over the past few months. LaBrot is, first and foremost, a Tesla sup
