gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-25 21:45:17

The wait is over! The Toxic Avenger arrives in theaters today, and Troma fans can finally see writer-director Macon Blair’s fresh (but still gross, gory, and proudly unrated) take on the legendary cult franchise. In a splattery movie with a lot going on—a sinister health-care megacorp that’s poisoning people and the environment; a hero with a terminal illness who transforms into a badass mutant; Elijah Wood as you’ve never seen him before; a nu-metal “monstercore” band that moonlights as assass

Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-26 01:42:13

Earlier this month, EA announced that players in its Battlefield 6 open beta on PC would have to enable Secure Boot in their Windows OS and BIOS settings. That decision proved controversial among players who weren't able to get the finicky low-level security setting working on their machines and others who were unwilling to allow EA's anti-cheat tools to once again have kernel-level access to their systems.

Tesla challenges $243 million verdict in Autopilot death trial

Tesla has asked a judge to nix the $243 million verdict lodged against the company in a lawsuit involving its Autopilot system, or to allow a new trial to occur, according to a new court filing. The company’s lawyers argue that the verdict, which a jury made earlier this month, “flies in the face of basic Florida tort law, the Due Process Clause, and common sense.” This latest filing by Tesla lawyers tries, once again, to rest all of the blame on the driver George McGee, who helped cause the cr

Uber and Lyft drivers in California win a path to unionization

California lawmakers struck a deal with Uber and Lyft that will allow app-based drivers to form unions. The agreement is a win for gig workers who have long been classified as independent contractors, and thus, ineligible for certain protections that employees receive, like the right to collective bargaining.

One of the more curious aspects of the 10th flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket on Tuesday was the striking orange discoloration of the second stage. This could be observed on video taken from a buoy near the landing site as the vehicle made a soft landing in the Indian Ocean. This color—so different from the silvery skin and black tiles that cover Starship's upper stage—led to all sorts of speculation. Had heating damaged the stainless steel skin?
