Michael Caine May Come Out of Retirement for ‘The Last Witch Hunter 2’

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-11-02 12:15:10

Only for his bestie Vin Diesel will the legendary Michael Caine grace the silver screen again. The 92-year-old actor announced he was retiring a few years ago, but you can’t keep the endeared genre king out of the game for too long. Caine was last seen in The Great Escaper back in 2023. However, with The Last Witch Hunter sequel in the works, Variety reports that Lionsgate has approached the actor to reprise his role as Father Dolan. The production company is pushing the development of the Vin

Dynamic Duo Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey Reunite for Army Combat Goggles Contract

Despite spending billions of dollars to make it happen, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Oculus founder Palmer Luckey were never able to make virtual reality a profitable consumer product. Teamed up again, the pair have found an audience that is more comfortable with spending lots of money for slow development timelines and little return: the US Army. According to a report from Bloomberg, Luckey’s Anduril Industries and Zuck’s Meta Platforms were among three companies tapped to produce prototypes fo

Remember way back a year ago when Apple was convinced we would all spend big to upgrade to the iPhone 16, just to access its Apple Intelligence? That was hilarious. Apple better not try that again this year with the iPhone 17. There'll be a new iPhone this week. At tomorrow's "awe dropping" Apple event, we expect to see the iPhone 17 lineup (which could include a new ultra-slim model called the 17 Air), new AirPods and new Apple Watches.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has acquired $17 billion worth of EchoStar’s wireless spectrum, the two companies announced on Monday.

Time to Recycle an Old Laptop or Printer? Here's Where to Take It

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-02 11:47:00

Once that old laptop or printer stops working, you need to get rid of it. However, that can be easier said than done. Throwing it in the trash will only lead to more items that could be recycled slowly deteriorating in a landfill, and depending on the device in question could be illegal. That's probably why a recent CNET survey found that almost a third of US adults still have old, unused electronics hanging around the house. The good news? Recycling your old devices is easier than ever. Major

Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies

Artificial intelligence might be booming on paper, but in the real world, there are signs of a major slowdown. In their latest biweekly survey of AI adoption, the US Census Bureau found evidence of an obvious drop-off in corporate AI use — the largest since the survey began in November of 2023. The survey, which compiles data from over 1.2 million firms throughout the US, shows usage of AI tools among companies with over 250 employees dropping from nearly 14 percent in mid-June to under 12 per

ICEBlock handled my vulnerability report in the worst possible way

Last week, I wrote about how Joshua Aaron's ICEBlock app, which allows people to anonymously report ICE sightings within a 5-mile radius, is – unfortunately, and despite apparent good intentions – activism theater. This was based on Joshua's talk at HOPE where he made it clear that he isn't taking the advice of local community groups, that ICE sightings aren't verified in any way, and that he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to security and privacy.

Writing code is easy, reading it isn't

Writing code is easy. Once you have a solution in mind, and have mastered the syntax of your favorite programming language, writing code is easy. Having an LLM write entire functions for you? Even easier. But the hard part isn’t the writing. It’s the reading. It’s the time it takes to load the mental model of the system into your head. That’s where all the cost really is.

Why is Japan still investing in custom floating point accelerators?

It has taken nearly two decades and an immense amount of work by millions of people for high performance computing to go mainstream with GenAI. And now, we live in a world where AI servers crammed with accelerators account for half of the money spent on systems worldwide. There is no law anywhere that says that accelerator has to be a GPU, although that has been the accelerator of choice by far because GPUs are, like CPUs, general purpose processors that are explicitly designed to support vario

AMD claims Arm ISA doesn't offer efficiency advantage over x86
