A New ‘Bugonia’ Trailer Leans Heavy Into That Alien Question

It was last summer when Focus Features announced Bugonia, the latest film from director Yorgos Lanthimos. That alone is enough to get anyone excited, as Lanthimos has long established himself as a filmmaker whose work you turn up to, no matter what. But then, the film had this tagline, and instantly, we were hooked: “Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.” Yes, please, and thank you.

The Australian Financial Review reports that Deloitte Australia will offer the Australian government a partial refund for a report that was littered with AI-hallucinated quotes and references to nonexistent research.

OpenAI agrees to buy 'tens of billions' worth of AMD chips

It was only a few weeks ago that NVIDIA pledged a $100 billion investment in OpenAI. Now, OpenAI has come to another agreement, this time with NVIDIA's competitor, AMD.

2025 Climate Tech Companies to Watch: Cyclic Materials and its rare earth recycling tech

Cyclic Materials is trying to address that challenge. In its two-part recycling process, rare earth–containing devices will first be amassed at “spoke” facilities. The devices will be shredded, and their magnet waste will be separated from steel parts and other recyclable metals before being sent to centralized “hubs,” where the company will use a chemical extraction process to recover a purified mixture of rare earth metals. Today, Cyclic Materials is constructing its first spoke facility in M

2025 Climate Tech Companies to Watch: Ather Energy and its premium e-scooters

As the country’s leading EV-only scooter maker, Ather’s successful expansion could supercharge India’s shift away from fossil fuels, and help achieve the government’s goal of reducing air pollution, while also building a market presence internationally. In mid-2024 Ather introduced the Ather Rizta, a spacious family scooter with a large seat, more storage, and fast charging, which sold over 100,000 units within a year of its launch. To catch up to well-capitalized competitors, such as Ola Elect

2025 Climate Tech Companies to Watch: Cemvision and its low-emissions cement

Making Portland cement requires reaching ultra-high temperatures, over 1,450 °C (2,650 °F). Instead, Cemvision makes a material that requires lower temperatures (roughly 1,200 °C, or 2,200 °F), which reduces the amount of energy required. The company also uses alternative sources for heating. Rather than fossil fuels, Cemvision can use a combination of plasma, hydrogen, and electricity. The startup tested its process in a demonstration-scale kiln, which can make up to 12 tons per day. The mater

5 journaling apps you should use instead of Pixel Journal

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google rolled out a set of exclusive apps for the Pixel 10 smartphone line, including a new personal reflection app called Pixel Journal. I’ve already covered it in a separate article, but to summarize, it’s an AI-enhanced diary app that offers contextual writing prompts, support for attached images and maps, and is designed using Google’s new Material 3 Expressive design language. Naturally, it seems like a perfect fit for Pixel users. However, Google didn’t

I found an Android launcher that combines the best of Niagara and Nova Launcher

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority About 15 years ago, when I first switched from a Nokia to an Android phone, it wasn’t a mere choice; it was also a financial decision. I couldn’t afford to buy an iPhone, and its price, padded with hefty import fees, made it a dream I refused to approach. Over the years, I became more fascinated with Android’s customization. A decade and a half later, I consciously stick to Android phones. While my attempts at heavily modding my phones or fiddling with custom R
