Netflix Is Hungry to Turn ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Into Its Next Everything Franchise

It’s been a little over a month since Sony Pictures Animation and Netflix released KPop Demon Hunters, but you wouldn’t be able to tell given how much staying power the movie has had online. Now, as if answering fans’ hanging questions on when the streamer will announce a sequel, a new report has revealed that Netflix and Sony intend to strike while the iron is hot on KPop Demon Hunters‘ meteoric acclaim with plans to expand the film in the early stages. According to a new report from The Wrap,

Inside a Real Clickfix Attack: How This Social Engineering Hack Unfolds

An inside look at a ClickFix campaign and a real-world attack, its next iteration (FileFix), and how to prevent it in its tracks, before device compromise. ClickFix: Silent Copying to Clipboard ClickFix, a deceptive social engineering tactic, is used by threat actors to manipulate unsuspecting users into unwittingly allowing a web page to silently populate the clipboard. Ultimately, the attacker is attempting to get a user to (unknowingly) execute malicious code, gathered from the browser and

'The Thursday Murder Club,' 'My Oxford Year' and More New Netflix Movies You Shouldn't Miss in August

As we enter the dog days of summer, Netflix's August slate of movies is giving us something to look forward to. This month, the platform is dropping dozens of new films, including some great originals like the romance My Oxford Year, starring Sofia Carson, and the ensemble mystery The Thursday Murder Club. The streamer is also premiering a few exciting new documentaries this month, including The Truth About Jussie Smollett?, in which the actor speaks out about the assault he's accused of stagin

This rumored Pixel 10 feature puts Google above Samsung and OnePlus for me - here's why

Kerry Wan/ZDNET There's been no shortage of Pixel 10 leaks leading up to its expected August launch event -- even Google has taken part in it. While early renders and marketing imagery point to a family of phones that look nearly identical (if not the same) as the last generation, the biggest feature upgrade with the Pixel 10 series may actually be hidden in plain sight.

Matrix Is Not Safe for EU Data Privacy

Matrix has long been promoted as the future of secure, decentralized communication. Backed by an open protocol, a vibrant developer community, and bridges to legacy systems, it promises interoperability and freedom from vendor lock-in. But when viewed through the lens of EU data privacy law, Matrix, and its commercial champion, Element, poses significant and underappreciated risks. For public-sector organizations, critical infrastructure, and privacy-conscious enterprises in the EU, the questio

We’ve already seen what every Pixel 10 model looks like, and now we might know the pricing, too. A new leak from Android Headlines suggests the base Pixel 10 with 128GB of storage will have the same $799 starting price as its predecessor, while the rest of the lineup isn’t seeing any major changes, either.

I’m not convinced about the Pixel 10 Pro’s 100x zoom, and you shouldn’t be either

The Google Pixel 10 series is just a few weeks away, and I’m keenly waiting to see what these new phones offer. One of the most intriguing and persistent rumors is that the base model will have a telephoto camera, but what about the Pro phones? It sounds like Google could maintain the same 48MP 5x cameras seen on the Pixel 9 Pro series. However, a trove of marketing material shared by veteran leaker Evan Blass has revealed that the Pixel 10 Pro phones could get 100x zoom. I’m not convinced that

Google Pixels just got a welcome boost for PC emulation (Update)

Update: July 31, 2025 (7:35 AM ET): GameSir has now come back to us with more details, confirming that the update for devices with Mali GPUs is available now. The company also says that Pixel phones are better than MediaTek-powered devices if you want to emulate PC titles: When it comes to simulating PC environments, if you have to choose a Mali device, Pixel phones are still your best option. They come with the latest GPU drivers and receive updates far more frequently than other smartphone b

How one single image may have convinced me to buy the Google Pixel 10

Google Pixel 10 leaks have been nonstop over the last few weeks. From device renders and specs to Tensor G5 details, little has been left to the imagination. What we’ve seen so far has painted a promising, if not overly exciting, picture for Google’s next phones. The Tensor G5 should be the highlight, thanks to its new 3nm design and Google’s switch from Samsung Foundry to TSMC. The base Pixel 10 getting a telephoto camera is exciting, too. While the leaks have been fine, I haven’t seen anythi

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold dimensions tell a grim yet promising story

Late last week, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming Pixel 10 series’ dimensions. While all phones in the line-up are getting heavier than their predecessors in the Pixel 9 series, it’s the Pixel 10 Pro Fold that jumped out to me, mostly because it’s eschewing the entire foldable industry’s trend right now. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is slightly narrower than the 9 Pro Fold (while also sporting smaller bezels and a larger outer display), but it’s a little thicker when unfolded, even thicker when fold

The Best Anime on Netflix You Can Watch Right Now

Original anime and fresh releases have found a home on Netflix, and we think it's one of the best streaming services for anime fans. Its library is surprisingly expansive, covering everything from long-beloved classics like Cowboy Bebop and Naruto to more recent hits like Dandadan. Crunchyroll is exclusively for anime, so it remains our favorite service overall. That being said, it's worth subscribing to Netflix for its anime, too, if you want to cover all your bases. There's so much to watch.

Google Pixel 11 rumors: Release date, codename, camera features, and everything else we know so far

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Although we’re still waiting for the Google Pixel 10 series to launch, we already have substantial information about the Pixel 11 series. This is courtesy of a significant Google Chips division leak from the Android Authority team. Will the Pixel 11 bring noteworthy changes to Google’s lineup? The answer might be yes, though whether these changes are improvements will likely depend on individual preferences. Let’s explore the current Pixel 11 rumors and a short

Google Pixel 10 launch: What we expect to see at the Made by Google event on August 20

After largely focusing Google I/O 2025 on the ways the company wants Gemini to change everything from searching the web to filmmaking, Google is finally ready to launch new hardware. The next Made by Google event is on the books for August 20, and Google has already confirmed what at least one of its new Pixel 10 phones will look like. Google remains as leak-prone as ever, so nearly all the new hardware the company is expected to announce has all ready been reported on in one form or another. W

I wasn't interested in the Google Pixel 10, but this potential feature changes everything

Netflix Has Both 'Happy Gilmore' Movies Right Now, but Not for Long

The biggest original film to arrive on Netflix in July was undoubtedly Happy Gilmore 2. The Adam Sandler sequel was 30 years in the making and marks the return of one of his most iconic characters, Happy Gilmore, a Boston Bruins-obsessed hockey fan who turns his mean slapshot into a professional golf career. Happy Gilmore 2 premiered on Netflix on July 25, and features most of the original film's cast. Sandler is joined by Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Dennis Dugan and Ben Stiller, all of

Leak reveals Pixel 10 prices, and they’re exactly what we hoped for

TL;DR The prices for the entire Google Pixel 10 series have leaked. It appears there won’t be any price increases this year. However, the Pixel 10 Pro XL may have a new starting price. A question we have long had about the Pixel 10 series is whether there will be a price hike. With the ongoing tariff situation, there seemed to be a good chance that we could see higher prices. Those fears may have been put to rest, however, after the most recent Pixel 10 leak. The prices of the entire Pixel 1

Another Pixel 6a catches fire, despite Google's battery restrictions

Facepalm: Google released the Pixel 6a in 2022 as a mid-range variant of the Pixel 6 smartphone line. The device was initially praised for its so-called "flagship-level" performance and features, though it's now clear that the phone is far from perfect. A new Pixel 6a caught fire, even after Google released a crippling software update intended to limit the device's lithium-ion battery charge level. A Reddit user recently shared his harrowing experience, explaining that the phone essentially beg

Google’s Pixel 10 sure looks like it’ll support magnetic Qi2 charging

is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism. He previously worked at Android Police and Tech Advisor. Evidence is mounting that Google’s Pixel 10 series will support Qi2 wireless charging, including built-in magnets, finally offering a mainstream Android alternative to Apple’s MagSafe. The latest sign is a leaked image of the Pixel 10 with what appears to be a magnetic wireless charging puck attached to the back. The leaked image comes from the reliable leaker Evan Blass, an

Google's Pixel 10 may get magnetic Qi2 charging after all

Google's upcoming Pixel 10 may support wireless Qi2 charging natively (without a case), which would make it the first Pixel model and one of the few Android phones to do so. A new image from mega-leaker Evan Blass shows a Qi2 charger attached to the back of a naked Pixel 10 device, meaning it likely has the magnets required to support the fast-charging system. Rumors bubbled up last month that Google was working on a new lineup of "Pixelsnap" Qi2 accessories, leading to speculation that the Pix

Breaking: One UI 8 beta 4 starts rolling out for the Galaxy S25 series

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has begun rolling out the fourth One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S25 series. The third beta is available to users in the South Korea, Germany, and India, but we expect users in the US to get the update soon. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE have launched with stable One UI 8, but the rest of Samsung’s lineup still has to wait for their stable release. There’s some good news for the six-month old Galaxy S25 series though, as Samsung has relea

Your Pixel Watch could soon give you the same backup freedom as your Android phone (APK teardown)

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority A man pressed the digital crown of his Google Pixel Watch 3. TL;DR Google could soon let Pixel Watch users manually trigger backups. We’ve found code evidence suggesting Pixel Watches could soon get a “Backup now” button in Settings, possibly removing the current requirement of having the watch connected to a charger during the backup process. The option is similar to the Backup now setting you find on Android phones. Google seems to be working towards maki

Google is rolling out a fix for Home smart light voice control

TL;DR Google Home has been suffering from multiple connectivity issues going back about a week. Users have complained in particular about not being able to control smart lights via voice command. Google is currently deploying a fix for that smart light issue, but it sounds like others might remain. Google has a smart home problem. When you’ve got an entire household of smart devices all configured and running through Google Home, it’s no surprise that glitches will occasionally pop up. Any wh

Pixel 10 leak hints it’s getting the magnetic Qi2 charging you’ve been waiting for

TL;DR A leak has provided new renders and details about the Pixel 10 series and some of its accessories. One of the renders shows a caseless Pixel 10 with a Qi2 charger attached. This would suggest that the Pixel 10 series will have magnets built in. With all of the Pixel 10 leaks that have surfaced in the last couple of weeks, you would think that there wouldn’t be anything left to spoil. But it turns out that belief was wrong. Another leak has popped up, and it appears to support the existe

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 Could Be the Best Laptop to Replace Your Desktop Yet

2025 The first thing you notice about the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is the AniMe lights. The pixelated LEDs (also found on devices like the ROG Phone 9), flowing in a rhythm from a back strip like a scar streaked dashingly across a warrior’s eye, let you know what you’re in for before you even crack open the lid. The Strix Scar 18 is a fine gaming laptop with plenty of enticing qualities and one major flaw. But what makes it so appealing isn’t the dancing lights that are only attractive to moths o

My favorite Google Pixel features that don’t get enough love

Google Pixel phones are packed with intelligent and helpful features. While Google ensures many of these are front and center by promoting them when you first set up the phone or by periodically reminding you about them when you perform certain tasks, a surprising number of equally brilliant features fly under the radar. These hidden gems can significantly improve your daily experience with your phone. It’s a shame that a ton of users simply don’t know about them. With that in mind, this is a l
