Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways System76's COSMIC desktop will soon be in beta. Even as an alpha release, COSMIC is impressive. COSMIC is as fast as any Linux desktop I've experienced. Alpha releases aren't to be used for any reason other than testing. Right?

But there is one role he wished he could play, but it got away: Tatum really, really wanted to play The Beast in a non-Disney version of Beauty & the Beast. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Tatum said he had been approached about a possible film adaptation of the childhood classic by Guillermo del Toro. The actor turned down the role, a decision he described as “one of the bigges

Decades-Old Waste Barrels Are Creating Toxic Dead Zones off LA’s Coast

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-05 16:15:47

Until 1972, the Pacific waters of Southern California served as a dumping ground for hazardous and industrial wastes. More than 50 years later, corroded metal barrels still litter the seafloor off the coast of Los Angeles, and scientists are only beginning to understand the consequences of casually tossing them into the ocean. Images of the barrels first surfaced in 2020, with some of them encircled by mysterious white halos on the seafloor. Experts initially linked the barrels to DDT—a toxic p
