Netflix drops One Piece S2 teaser, renews for S3

We have the first teaser for the second season of Netflix's live-action series adaptation of One Piece, subtitled Into the Grand Line. The streaming platform also released some first-look images and announced that the series has been renewed for a third season. (Some spoilers for S1 below.)

There's swordsman Roronoa Zoro, t

Google Pixel Buds 2a leak suggests price hike could be on the cards

Lil Katz / Android Authority TL;DR A reliable website has revealed more Pixel Buds 2a renders and apparent European pricing. The images give us a closer look at the earbuds and charging case. The Pixel Buds 2a will apparently start at €149 in Europe, making it significantly more expensive than the original model. Google is expected to launch the Pixel Buds 2a alongside the Pixel 10 phones on August 20. We’ve already seen specs and a few images showing off the earbuds, but a new leak has reve

Raised by Wolves Is Original Sci-Fi at Its Most Polarizing (2020)

“Raised by Wolves” is the type of sci-fi project that deserves some respect for its ambition alone—whatever you feel from it, you have to admire its full commitment to its Biblical proportions, and the way that it uses its androids and killers to tell a story about faith and parenting. Ridley Scott directed the first two episodes of the series, and using his name as part of the marketing is a fair move (even if it was created by Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote “Prisoners.”) This space oddity is very

Tesla’s Cybertruck Is Suddenly Sold Out (Sort Of)

After months of being a commercial disaster, something curious is happening with the Tesla Cybertruck. For the first time since its troubled launch, Elon Musk’s futuristic pickup is showing signs of life. The wait time for the Cybertruck’s cheapest model has suddenly stretched to over a month, suggesting a spike in demand for a vehicle that, until now, almost no one seemed to want. The question is whether this is a genuine turnaround for the polarizing pickup or just a temporary sugar rush fuel

I use a duress PIN to protect my data — here’s how it works and why everyone needs one

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority From two-factor authentication codes to conversations and photos, our phones contain a ton of sensitive data these days. We rely on PINs and biometrics for daily security, but I shudder to think what would happen if that data landed in the wrong hands. And while Android is secure enough against remote attacks and malware these days, what if I’m forced to unlock my phone and hand it over? GrapheneOS, the privacy-focused Android fork, offers a rare solution to

The World Will Enter a 15-Year AI Dystopia in 2027, Former Google Exec Says

The world is hurtling towards an inevitable AI dystopia in the very near future, according to Mo Gawdat, the former chief business officer of Alphabet’s moonshot factory, formerly known as Google X. “We will have to prepare for a world that is very unfamiliar,” Gawdat said in an interview on the “Diary of a CEO” podcast, adding that humanity’s key values like freedom, human connection, accountability, reality, and power are all facing a major disruption by AI. And this dystopia isn’t far off,

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Footage Teases a Big Spidey Stunt

After showing off Tom Holland in his brand new suit for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sony continues its soft marketing launch with a new video showing its first day of production in Glasgow.

My first big job in the industry had me as one of two people in Warsaw, with the rest of the team in Oslo. I’ve never seen any of my Norwegian co-workers at that point, but one the first pieces of direct feedback I got from my manager was: “the teammembers like you; they feel like you’re part of the team.” That was nice to hea

Google wants you to forget about its Pixel battery issues. Here’s why you shouldn’t

Several Google Pixel models have suffered significant battery issues over the past eight months. This has manifested in Pixel-A series, with phones catching fire or suffering from swollen batteries. But I can forgive you if you didn’t know about it. Google has tried extremely hard to sweep this issue under the rug, preferring that it didn’t exist and pretending it’s not a big deal. However, I can’t overstate enough why you really shouldn’t let the company off the hook. Do you think Google has

Apple Vision Pro users can stream it for free through the TV app on visionOS.

The First ‘One Piece’ Season 2 Trailer is Full of Pirate Action

The live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece wasn’t just good, it was good in a way that took everyone by surprise. With the numbers to show for it, it’s no wonder Netflix gave it a second season, which is dropping next year. After a wave of casting announcements, Netflix finally pulled back the curtain on the upcoming season during Tokyo’s One Piece Day celebration. All the Straw Hats—Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji, all new threads from the manga—are present and accounted for, b

Installing a mini-split AC in a Brooklyn apartment

Last year, 2024, we replaced four PTACs with a mini-split AC. I’ve been asked about it often enough (by neighbors, coworkers, friends) that I decided to write up the experience. Hopefully it’s useful for you, too. Overall this cost us about $40k, including the cost for closing up the PTAC holes. We’ll probably never make the money back on electricity cost savings, so the main benefits are that we have more quiet and more stable temperatures now and overall I’m glad that we did it. (I’ll use th

Congressperson Urges NASA to Send Its Jupiter Probe Chasing in Pursuit of the Weird Visitor Coming From Interstellar Space

Earlier this year, astronomers spotted a mysterious interstellar object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, hurtling through the solar system at a blistering speed. It's only the third confirmed interstellar object to have ventured into our solar system — all over the past few years, owing to more sophisticated space-observing technology — and scientists are eager to have a closer look. Besides detailed observations by the Very Large Telescope in Chile and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, Harvard astronomer and a

I just want a new Pixel Stand with my Pixel 10, Google

Robert Triggs / Android Authority The Pixel Stand debuted alongside the Pixel 3 and 3XL almost seven years ago, and it was my favorite accessory for those phones. Adding useful Google Assistant features and faster Qi charging made it a must-have accessory for Pixels, and I used it every day. Outside of the iPhone and HMD Skyline supporting MagSafe and Qi2, respectively, wireless charging has been stagnant since then. 2021’s Pixel Stand 2 made some minor improvements to the Pixel Stand formula,

Wild Pigs in California Are Turning Neon Blue on the Inside, Officials Warn

Unexpected exposure to rodenticide is turning California’s wild pigs blue, state authorities say. “I’m not talking about a little blue,” Dan Burton, owner of a wildlife control company in Salinas, California, told The Los Angeles Times. “I’m talking about neon blue, blueberry blue.” Burton was one of the first trappers to discover that local wild pigs had turned blue on the inside. A subsequent investigation by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) found that the pigs had consu

I switched to this YouTube client and I’m never going back

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority YouTube has been a part of my life since its early days in the late 00s. It’s no secret that today’s YouTube is a far cry from what it used to be. YouTube was free back then; free from subscriptions, free from ads, even free from terrible video suggestions. It was raw and real. Now when we open the app we’re bombarded with pop-ups and ads and the algorithm is awful at surfacing stuff we want to watch. So like many of you, I went searching for a replacement.

For giant carnivorous dinosaurs, big size didn’t mean a big bite

When a Spinosaurus attacked a T. rex in Jurassic Park III, both giant carnivores tried to finish the fight with one powerful bite of their bone-crushing jaws. The Spinosaurus won, because when the movie was being made back in the early 2000s, fossil discoveries suggested it was the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived. But new research provides evidence that size and weight didn’t always create a powerful bite. “The Spinosaurus and the T. rex didn’t live at the same time at the same con

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They've warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic's AI training now threatens to "financially ruin" the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement. Last week, Anthropic petitioned to appeal the class certification, urging the court to weigh questions that the district court judge, William
