‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Exec Producer Confirms Identity of Rhys Darby’s Character

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-07-20 11:30:16

It’s very common for TV cast and crew to do spoiler-y interviews that run after a certain episode airs to address standout moments. Andor did it after Bix’s big shocker; The Last of Us did it after Joel’s big shocker; the Severance gang did it pretty much weekly throughout season two’s many big shockers. But what’s not ideal is when a showrunner type has to clarify something from an episode that… wasn’t made clear by said episode. That happened this week on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The se

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Copied the AirPods Max’s Dumbest Accessory, and Now I Actually Need One

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-20 11:37:42

Apple’s AirPods Max are iconic for lots of reasons. Firstly, it’s Apple, so they have just a teensy bit of name-brand recognition. Secondly, there’s the sound—Apple’s over-ear headphones might look a little boring, but they sound consistently great. Good enough to actually make a $550 price tag work. There’s also a third iconic aspect, though this one may be notable for the wrong reasons. If you guessed the “iBra” carrying case, congratulations, you win a free ticket to tech nerd jail. As iconi

Upon receiving the Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand in the mail, I did not expect that I’d be enjoying some tea before I’d even unwrapped all the parts. “Is that … Zooey Deschanel? With a Dollar Tree Property Brother?” my husband asked, peering over my shoulder as I unpacked various tubes and parts. And indeed, among the boxes was a glossy handout of a slightly younger-looking Zooey, standing with a man who did vaguely resemble her current husband, Jonathan Scott, of Property Brothers fame.

Nintendo launches another Switch Online test program for 40,000 players

Nintendo has posted a call for participants for another Playtest Program, and this time, it's looking for 40,000 testers and not just 10,000 like in the first one. If you'll recall, Nintendo looked for 10,000 participants for the first Playtest event last year to test an unnamed, mysterious Switch Online feature.

Roborock Saros Z70 Review: OmniGrip Doesn’t Quite Work

I spent a few weeks lying in wait around my house, stalking it. My poor OmniGrip got into trouble all the time. I spent a morning wrestling the arm out of our freestanding toilet paper holder in the bathroom. It pulled all the kitchen towels off the rack. The emergency stop button (and the child lock) work, but you still have to pry the item out of its claw. Roborock has acknowledged in an email that there are many weird limitations to OmniGrip.

Virtual private networks (VPNs) are essential security tools to stop others from spying on you online. A VPN encrypts your data and conceals your Internet Protocol (IP) address, making it a great tool for general online use, traveling, and streaming.
