‘Spaceballs 2’ Could Also Bring Back Rick Moranis—and More

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-17 19:52:17

We’re not sure if there’s a Christmas in the Spaceballs universe, but if there is, it’s probably today. Hot on the heels of creator Mel Brooks making the news of a sequel official, a new report suggests two of the original’s main stars will be returning as well. Deadline reports that original stars Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are both expected to return for Spaceballs 2, which is coming to theaters in 2027. Keke Palmer (Nope) is also expected to star in the film, along with Josh Gad. Pullman

Google’s excellent TV Streamer (4K) is on sale just in time for Father’s Day

I love finding deals on devices that pull double duty, as it feels like it’s stretching my dollar even further. That’s why Google’s discounted TV Streamer (4K) caught my attention this week. It’s not just a powerful streaming device but also a great smart home hub — one you can currently grab from Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Google for around $84 ($16 off), which is just $5 shy of its lowest price to date.

Google Pixel 10 may fail to live up to our MagSafe dreams, after all

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is preparing a range of “Pixelsnap” accessories for the Pixel 10 that support wireless charging. Despite Qi2 support, the phone may require the use of a case to add the magnets needed for alignment. In addition to Google’s own accessories, look for a range of similar Made by Google solutions from third parties. What is so hard about giving Android users what they want?

As “leaked”, OpenAI cut o3 pricing by 80% today (from $10/$40 per mtok to $2/$8 - matching GPT 4.1 pricing!!) to set the stage of the launch of o3-pro ($20/$80, supporting an unverified community theory that the -pro variants are 10x base model calls with majority voting as referenced in their papers and in our Chai episode). o3-pro reports a 64% win rate vs o3 on human testers and does marginally better on 4/4 reliability benchmarks, but as sama noticed, the actual experience expands when you t

The First ‘Spaceballs 2’ Teaser Confirms a Crucial Returning Star

Mel Brooks is really taking this Spaceballs thing seriously. In the original film, one of his characters, Yogurt, was a parody of Yoda, the Star Wars Jedi Master who lived to be almost 1,000. Well, now we know Brooks has been going all in on character preparation and, at the age of 99, will officially reprise Yogurt for the long-awaited sequel, set for release 40 years after the original. Here’s a hilarious teaser making it all official. I told you we’d be back pic.twitter.com/RnoklPqBX6 — Mel

Battery manufacturer Powin files for bankruptcy months after landing $200M loan

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-17 23:28:24

Battery manufacturer Powin filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday. The Oregon-based company said it has more than $300 million in debt. The Chapter 11 filing will let the company continue operating while it restructures its debt. Powin manufactured grid-scale batteries using lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells from China. The company had been searching for alternative domestic suppliers, but the supply chain wasn’t sufficiently mature, Jeff Waters, the company’s former CEO, told Bloomberg in April.

The world’s leading artificial intelligence companies are stepping up efforts to deal with a growing problem of chatbots telling people what they want to hear. OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic are all working on reining in sycophantic behavior by their generative AI products that offer over-flattering responses to users.

It includes some great deals—Amazon promises “millions of deals”—but the displayed discounts are often misleading, and while it’s advertised as a members-only event, some deals are available to people who don’t subscribe to Prime.

Gaming VC activity settles into a new normal in Q1 | Pitchbook

As early-stage investments continue to shrink, investors grow increasingly discerning, and the M&A and exit environment remain muted, there are still bright spots: investment surged into back-end gaming infrastructure and AI-powered
