Amazon is developing a Wolfenstein TV show

Following the success of Fallout, Amazon is turning its attention to another video game adaptation. The company is reportedly developing a series based on the Wolfenstein franchise with the help of some of the creative team behind Fallout, according to Variety. The details of how the Wolfenstein show will adapt the alternate history action of the games are still under wraps, but the subject matter remains unfortunately timely. The show's logline is "The story of killing Nazis is evergreen," acc

Elden Ring Nightreign is adding two-player co-op next week

Elden Ring Nightreign is finally adding a two-player co-op mode on July 30. Prior to this, FromSoftware's spinoff could only be played solo or with three players. The so-called Duo Expeditions come as part of patch 1.02. This is something fans have been asking for, as not everybody has two friends available at once to tackle a tough-as-nails 3D adventure. FromSoftware has released a trailer to accompany this news, so you can see the two-player co-op in action. Beyond Duo Expeditions, the forth

Elden Ring: Nightreign's Duo Mode Is Coming to Save You From Matchmaking Hell

Elden Ring: Nightreign, from developer FromSoftware, at first seemed like a gimmicky spinoff of its 2022 hit Elden Ring. Since then, it's proven to be a popular game that was the best-selling title in June, and in a few days, it's going to get one of its most requested features. In Nightreign, you can play solo or in a team of three. On July 30, the option for Duo Expeditions will be available, letting players take on runs with a friend. Players have been requesting a two-player mode since Nig

Amazon to Adapt Video Game Explicitly About Beating the Crap Out of Some Nazis

In what’s quickly become an arms race among streamers, Amazon MGM Studios announced it’s developing a TV series for Wolfenstein to add to its growing catalogue of video game adaptations. The announcement came from Variety, which reports that Patrick Sommerville of Maniac fame will serve as its creator, writer, and showrunner. Alongside Sommerville, James Altman and Jerk Gustafsson of Keyframe Films and game developer MachineGames, respectively, will also serve as executive producers. While Vari

BlackSuit ransomware extortion sites seized in Operation Checkmate

Law enforcement has seized the dark web extortion sites of the BlackSuit ransomware operation, which has targeted and breached the networks of hundreds of organizations worldwide over the past several years. The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed the takedown in an email earlier today, saying the authorities involved in the action executed a court-authorized seizure of the BlackSuit domains. Earlier today, the websites on the BlackSuit .onion domains were replaced with seizure banners announ

Court Rules Mike Lindell Doesn’t Have to Pay $5 Million in Hacked Voting Machine Bet

Mike Lindell, the founder and CEO of MyPillow, could be considered a loser in many ways, but not in a way that will cost him $5 million. The New York Times reports that a federal appeals court ruled on Wednesday that Lindell will not have to pay out the prize money for his “Prove Mike Wrong” challenge, which offered up a $5 million reward to anyone who could sufficiently debunk his baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. Lindell offered up the prize money in 2021 dur

Understanding the Caffeine Intake in Drip Coffee vs. Espresso

A great cup of coffee can vary widely depending on how it's made and which roast is used. Getting that caffeine fix you need in the morning can be done in so many ways. But there are two preparation styles that are all too popular: the traditional drip-style brew and the quick-fix espresso. If you've been wondering which might be the right fit for you, here's a useful breakdown to help you understand how much caffeine you might be consuming -- and where to draw the line. Espresso packs more ca

People are getting over $4,000 each from the T-Mobile data breach settlement — here’s why

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile’s 2021 data breach victims have started receiving payments from the $350 million settlement. While most users received around $56 or $226 each, those who proved extensive financial harm received much more — over $4,000 in two cases. Such submissions required verifiable losses, such as identity theft, and included claims for associated expenses like legal fees and credit repair fees. Last month, users began receiving their share of the $350M settl

Humans Counted 8,600 Earthquakes in Yellowstone. AI Says We’re Not Even Close

Before the advent of artificial intelligence, experts often detected earthquakes by analyzing seismic data by hand. Unsurprisingly, this approach takes a long time, is cost-intensive, and usually identifies fewer earthquakes. Machine learning has now changed virtually everything. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have retroactively identified and assigned magnitudes to ten times as many seismic events in historical earthquake data from the Yellowstone caldera from 2008 to 2022 as had b

This is my favorite camera phone of the year, and I wish I could tell you to buy it, but I can’t

Odd camera designs are all the rage right now, and the latest HUAWEI flagship is jumping right into this trend. The Pura 80 Ultra is the Chinese company’s latest effort, and once again, it doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the photographic experience… but it comes with a familiar set of caveats for anyone keeping up with HUAWEI’s situation. I recently took the phone on a trip to Dubai and took a whole bunch of samples to test it out, and I think it’s my favorite camera phone of 2025. Because

No ‘woke AI’ in Washington, Trump says as he launches American AI action plan

U.S. President Donald Trump holds an executive order related to AI after signing it during the "Winning the AI Race" Summit in Washington D.C., U.S., July 23, 2025. U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to keep "woke AI" models out of Washington and to turn the country into an "AI export powerhouse" through the signing of three artificial intelligence-focused executive orders on Wednesday.

This Experimental Weight Loss Drug Works Without the Nausea or Vomiting

What if you could lose weight with a drug that won’t make you lose your lunch at the same time? New research shows it might be possible. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Kentucky, and other institutions say they’ve found a potentially novel way to suppress people’s appetite and treat obesity—without causing the nausea or vomiting commonly experienced with semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy). In early animal experiments, the team’s experimenta

This powerful Google Photos tool is finally arriving for older Pixels

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Reimagine in Magic Editor TL;DR The Google Photos Reimagine feature is starting to roll out to older Pixels. Reports from Reddit and Telegram show it working on Pixel 6 and Pixel 8 devices. Access appears limited for now, so not everyone on the same version will see it. Last September, we spotted early evidence that the Google Photos Reimagine feature, previously exclusive to the Pixel 9 series, might be coming to older Pixels. It took longer than we expected,

Leaked Slack Messages Show CEO of "Ethical AI" Startup Anthropic Saying It's Okay to Benefit Dictators

In the so-called "constitution" for its chatbot Claude, AI company Anthropic claims that it's committed to principles based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, instructing its chatbot to prioritize freedom, equality, freedom of thought, and adequate standards of living in its responses. Anthropic has long attempted to distinguish itself as putting safety first. The firm was founded by former OpenAI members, with a commitment to advancing AI ethically and responsibly.

The 5 Best Protein Bars a Fitness Expert Has Tested in 2025

What we like about it: The Perfect Bar needs to be refrigerated to stay fresh. This protein bar reminds me of a solid yet crumbly cookie dough bar. One bar can have approximately 200 to 300 calories, give or take, and 11 to 17 grams of protein, depending on the flavor. The total sugars are under 20 grams, but don't include added sugars since they vary depending on the protein bar. This is a dense protein bar, and while higher in calories than others on the list, it can be good to have on hand if

Amazon backs programmable optics startup Lumotive

Is Your Iced Coffee Making You Dehydrated in the Summer Heat? I Asked the Experts

As the summer sun beats down, we should all stay hydrated, as dehydration can increase our risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. However, when I saw the National Weather Service in Las Vegas advising residents across parts of California, Nevada and Arizona to stop drinking caffeine in extreme heat to prevent dehydration, I wondered if that was taking things too far. To find out whether caffeine actually causes dehydration to the point where you need to put your iced coffee down, I consulted

What will become of the CIA?

In December, 1988, as the Soviet Union was beginning to come apart, Senator Bill Bradley, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, convened a closed-door hearing with several of the C.I.A.’s top Soviet experts. These were analysts, not operatives. They did not run spies or weapons, or shoot poisoned darts at people; mostly, they sat at their desks at Langley, reading Pravda or studying photographs of Soviet military parades. The hearing found them in a melancholy mood, pondering

Tokyo's retro shotengai arcades are falling victim to gentrification

Tsutomu Nishiwaki raises the shutters of his store, the rattle marking the start of a new day at a shopping arcade in Tokyo. He wheels a display case into the foreground and stands behind the counter, framed by a sign proclaiming that this is a family-run noodle store. It is a ritual Nishiwaki has been performing almost daily for 60 years. But like the fresh noodles its owner makes every morning, the store has a limited shelf life: in a few years from now, the 80-year-old will pull down the shu

Leaked Memo: Anthropic CEO Says the Company Will Pursue Gulf State Investments After All

Anthropic is planning to seek investment from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, according to a Slack message CEO Dario Amodei sent to staff Sunday morning, which WIRED obtained. Weighing the pros and cons, Amodei acknowledged in his note that accepting money from Middle East leaders would likely enrich “dictators.” “This is a real downside and I'm not thrilled about it,” he wrote. “Unfortunately, I think ‘No bad person should ever benefit from our success’ is a pretty difficult principle to r

Fake Trump-Epstein Letters Spread Online After Bombshell Report

Donald Trump once contributed to an album of birthday letters for disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that included the president’s signature and a reference to “secrets” the two men shared, according to an explosive article published last week by the Wall Street Journal. But the Journal didn’t publish any images of the birthday letter, leaving people to wonder what it might have looked like. And social media users have produced quite a few cards made to look like the one described in the articl
