‘Alien: Earth’ Finished Its First Major Arc With Action and Intrigue

The second episode of Alien: Earth ended on not just a cliffhanger; it was a cliff-jumper. A xenomorph grabbed Joe (Alex Lawther) and jumped off a ledge, sending his sister Wendy (Sydney Chandler) on a quest to rescue him. That’s where episode three picked up, and the showdown resulted in not just a fun, gross action set piece but also some tantalizing teases of where things will go the rest of the season. Episode three of Alien: Earth is called “Metamorphosis,” and while that certainly could r

Why we still build with Ruby in 2025

When we started Lago, we picked Ruby on Rails for our core API. The choice was obvious because our founding team had decade of Rails experience. Rails was the fastest way we could build an API product. Today, we’ve receive millions of API calls a day. We’ve upgraded through multiple Ruby/Rails versions. Maybe that sounds silly in a world where young, Python/Go/JS-wielding entitlements have never even heard of Ruby. We do admit that we’ve added Go and Rust where it makes sense. But if we were

At the science fiction-themed event, Faulkner told the crowd th

It’s Pixel 10 launch day! What are you most excited to see?

Google 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Several weeks ago, I published an open thread highlighting how underwhelming the Pixel 10 leaks had been up until then. With few aesthetic changes over the Pixel 9 expected, I wasn’t overly optimistic that Google intended to introduce meaningful changes to the 2025 lineup. Well, in recent weeks, I’ve warmed to that idea.

Worried about the Pixel 10 Pro XL benchmark controversy? Here’s why you shouldn’t be

Well, friends, the day has finally come: Google Pixel day. Today is the day that Google will officially reveal the Pixel 10 series after months of leaks, and it’s a day we should all be excited about. Instead, a lot of Pixel fans are upset and complaining. Those complaints stem from a last-minute Pixel 10 Pro XL benchmark leak, supposedly showing just how fast Google’s new Tensor G5 chip is. Assuming the benchmarks are legit, the good news is that the Tensor G5 is faster than the Tensor G4. How

Copilot broke audit logs, but Microsoft won't tell customers

Like most tech companies, Microsoft is going all-in on AI. Their flagship AI product, Copilot (in all its various forms), allows people to utilize AI in their daily work to interact with Microsoft services and generally perform tasks. Unfortunately, this also creates a wide range of new security problems. On July 4th, I came across a problem in M365 Copilot: Sometimes it would access a file and return the information, but the audit log would not reflect that. Upon testing further, I discovered

Last-minute Pixel 10 leak suggests controversial change is really happening

Google TL;DR A new leak appears to show Pixel 10 packaging with a message about eSIM setup. The image would support earlier claims that most Pixel 10 models may drop physical SIM trays. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still expected to support hardware SIMs. With the Google Pixel 10 series launch less than 24 hours away, one question that remains after the many leaks and rumors is whether the phones will ditch physical SIM cards. A new image from reliable leaker Evan Blass might be our biggest clue
