Oh Dear, ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-07 22:30:55

At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Paramount teased our very first look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season with a clip that proved to be rather baffling. A contextless gag that saw Pike, Chapel, La’an, and Uhura seemingly permanently transformed into Vulcans, the clip immediately sparked discussion about the Vulcan crew’s sudden racially prejudiced treatment of Spock as, well, the extra half-Vulcan among them. What did Strange New Worlds think it was doing making a scene of jokily played

Using a case relieves me of the worry that it will accumulate tons of little scratches, or worse.

Google’s Pixel Care Plus includes free screen and battery repair

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-11-07 22:24:50

Google is phasing out its Preferred Care extended warranty plan for the Pixel Care Plus program. Pricing between the two is pretty similar. You’ll still pay $8 per-month, or $159 for a two-year plan on a Pixel 9. For a Pixel 10 Pro Fold, that jumps up to $339 for two years, or $18 per-month, with the optional loss and theft package for a small extra charge. The big changes here are that screen and battery repairs are free, and service fees for other accidental damage are much lower. Under the o

Sony RX1R III review: Waiting 10 years to be underwhelmed

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-08 08:00:36

The RX1R III is an incredible camera, capable of capturing stunning photos. However, for something Sony waited nearly a decade to update and is charging $5,100 for, it also feels like a missed opportunity. First, the RX1R III is nearly $2,000 more expensive than its predecessor. Plus, it’s missing a handful of features the company really should have included for it to hold its own against other high-end compact cameras, including Fujifilm’s X100VI and GFX100RF, as well as the Leica Q3 family.

I’ve been working a lot with service line architecture recently. If you’re not familiar with that; it’s how business units such as IT, HR, or Sales bring services to clients, both internal and external. These structures often mirror team organization. Think of it as a hierarchy: IT at level one, Software Development and Ops at level two, and then individual teams, like: Software Team X or Ops Team Y, at level three. What’s surprising is how rarely these structures reflect reality. In practice,

“Flesh-eating” bacteria are continuing to claim lives this summer. Louisiana health officials reported this week that two more people have died from Vibrio infections this month, potentially caused by eating tainted oysters.
