Hidden Sensors Reveal Filthy Truth About Handwashing in Hospital Bathrooms

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-02-04 22:15:51

Here’s something that will make you lose just a bit more faith in humanity—or at least reach for some hand wipes. New research shows that even in hospitals, a substantial number of people aren’t bothering to wash their hands. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England led the study, installing sensors near hospital toilet and sink pipes to keep track of people’s handwashing. Nearly half of toilet users skipped the sink after flushing, they found. The researchers say more effective stra

At Least 750 US Hospitals Faced Disruptions During Last Year’s CrowdStrike Outage, Study Finds

wired.com Andy Greenberg 2026-02-06 12:54:06

When, one year ago today, a buggy update to software sold by the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike took down millions of computers around the world and sent them into a death spiral of repeated reboots, the global cost of all those crashed machines was equivalent to one of the worst cyberattacks in history. Some of the various estimates of the total damage worldwide have stretched well into the billions of dollars. Now a new study by a team of medical cybersecurity researchers has taken the first

‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Is Delayed Again, but Only for a Bit

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-06 22:40:41

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed yet again, only this time, it’s less of a problem and more of a recalibration. The third and final film in the Oscar-winning animated trilogy was originally supposed to be out in early 2024 but was then delayed all the way to June 4, 2027. Now, Sony has tweaked that further and moved the film back three more weeks to June 25, 2027. The reason for this move isn’t because production needs more time, however. Apparently it has more to do with ju

We Almost Lived in a Timeline Where ‘Morbius’ Was Made by ‘Midsommar’ Director Ari Aster

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2026-02-08 03:03:29

Marvel’s perpetually delayed Blade movie, which took on new life as the costuming for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, may never see the light of day. But it’s worth remembering we did already get a vampire movie centered on a Marvel character: a certain Dr. Michael Morbius. Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster has now confirmed that at one point, he was asked to direct the Spider-Man spin-off movie, and the mind reels at what might have been.

Marvel Comics is no stranger to a bit of brand synergy and consolidation. The more characters break out into the mainstream beyond the readership of comics, the more their comics counterparts are sanded down and chopped and changed to eventually better accommodate the potential for audiences who are aware of them through adaptation to go to the comics and find familiar fare.
