Spirit Halloween Has Made the Most Affordable ‘Jurassic Park’ Goggles Replica We’ve Seen

The iconic T. rex escape scene is seared into the collective core memory of Jurassic Park fans. Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster franchise is full of memorable moments, from the jiggling water to the lawyer running to the bathroom. But if you, like me, had the film as one of your earliest and most life-changing cinema-going experiences, there’s not a detail forgotten—especially not the goggles. You know the ones that Tim grabs and the lawyer tells him to put back, because if they’re heavy, “they’r

‘Severance’ Standout Tramell Tillman Joins ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’

The manager of the severed floor has a new gig: tangling with Spider-Man. Though we (of course) have absolutely no idea which character he’ll be playing, Severance standout Tramell Tillman will be swinging into a role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This update on the much-anticipated fourth Spider-Man MCU movie starring the returning Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon—plus Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk—comes from Variety. Tillman joins Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and Liza

iOS 26 makes Apple’s killer autofill code feature even better

Apple is always adding new features to its software, but every now and then a change arrives that it’s hard to live without. One such killer feature lets you autofill two-factor authentication codes, and it’s getting even better in iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe this fall. Autofill expanding to third-party messaging, email, and browser apps When I think about key Apple features that stand out as truly special, a handful come to mind. Wi-Fi network sharing with just a tap, iPhone Mirroring on the Mac,

Skill issues – Dialectical Behavior Therapy and its discontents (2024)

When Marsha Linehan was seventeen, she developed terrible headaches. The family doctor didn’t seem to know what was causing them, so Linehan saw a psychiatrist, who recommended a two-week inpatient “diagnostic evaluation” at the Institute of Living, a private mental hospital in Hartford, Connecticut. A few days later she was cutting herself with the smashed lenses of her glasses. The staff psychiatrists moved her to a ward for “the most disturbed patients” where nurses stripped her naked, wrappe

‘Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning’ Is Now Free on YouTube… Kind of

The eighth and possibly final Mission: Impossible film, The Final Reckoning, is now available on digital download. It comes with tons of special features and can be yours wherever you legally download movies for just $20. But, if you don’t want to pay $20, it’s also on YouTube for free. In a way. In what appears to be a fun, original way to promote the film’s digital release, Paramount has uploaded the entire film to YouTube… in Morse code. It’s right now, at the time of publication, Wednesday

Group14 lands $463M from SK, Porsche, and others to make silicon anodes for EVs

Battery materials startup Group14 announced Wednesday it has closed a $463 million funding round to expand its manufacturing footprint, a sign that investors remain confident in the future of electric vehicles. The startup manufactures silicon anode materials, which significantly boost the storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries.

AI Is Failing at an Overwhelming Majority of Companies Using It, MIT Study Finds

With AI software increasingly hogging the enterprise spotlight, companies and investors are spending like never before. In the first half of 2025, AI startups raised over $44 billion, more than all of 2024 combined. By the end of this year, a Goldman Sachs analysis estimates that total investments in AI will soar to almost $200 billion. But all that money is, to put it gently, a reckless gamble. In the US at least, investors have essentially bet the farm on the idea that AI will soon lead to ga

Resident Evil Requiem feels very familiar, but it's so well made that I respect the hell out of it

For nearly 30 years, developer Capcom has been redefining its particular brand of survival horror for the Resident Evil series. Despite its tone shifting between action-horror games and more pure horror entries, where players face down grotesque moments with scant resources, the series still manages to place players in tense encounters that define the series' against-all-odds approach to horror. And with the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem — or RE9 — appears to continue the series' current moment

Debugging Behind the Iron Curtain (2010)

Sergei is a veteran of the early days of the computing industry as it was developing in the Soviet Union. I had the pleasure of working and learning from him over the past year, and in that time I picked up more important lessons about both life and embedded programming than any amount of school could ever teach. The most striking lesson is the story of how and why, in late summer of 1986, Sergei decided to move his family out of the Soviet Union. In the 1980s, my mentor Sergei was writing soft

The ‘Shin Godzilla’ Black-and-White Version Is Finally Getting a U.S. Theatrical Release

While we wait for news on what’s to come in the wake of Godzilla Minus One‘s massive success, this summer has seen the resurgence of Toho’s prior Godzilla reimagining in Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Godzilla. It got a whole new wave of reappraisal as it stomped back into theaters last week with a brand new 4K remaster—and now, to celebrate its success, and much like Minus One did before it, the movie’s extending its theatrical return with a new black-and-white remastering.

Xbox unveils its Handheld Compatibility Program

Microsoft announced Wednesday during Gamescom 2025 that not only will its Xbox Ally handhelds be released on October 16, but the company is spinning up a new initiative to support optimized gaming on these devices called the Handheld Compatibility Program. The initiative seems to be similar to Valve's Steam Deck Verified , where Xbox will test games to ensure their compatibility with the new Xbox Ally handhelds.

Pixel 10 Phones Get an Added T-Mobile Perk: Expanded T-Satellite App Access

When T-Mobile officially launched its T-Satellite service in June, the Starlink-based service went live with the ability to send texts via satellite from most recent phones. The company also promised that starting in October, developers would be able to let their apps use the satellite network. T-Mobile broke that promise Wednesday -- but in a good way. The new Google Pixel 10 phones, which were announced Wednesday and begin shipping on Aug. 28, will be the first devices to include apps that ti

China’s Guowang megaconstellation is more than another version of Starlink

US defense officials have long worried that China's Guowang satellite network might give the Chinese military access to the kind of ubiquitous connectivity US forces now enjoy with SpaceX's Starlink network. It turns out the Guowang constellation could offer a lot more than a homemade Chinese alternative to Starlink's high-speed consumer-grade broadband service. China has disclosed little information about the Guowang network, but there's mounting evidence that the satellites may provide Chines

Apple shares emotional film on how Action mode helps iPhone users with Parkinson’s

In its short film No Frame Missed, Apple shows how an iPhone videography feature has become an unlikely source of support for users with Parkinson’s. The video tells the story of how Action mode, first introduced with iPhone 14, stabilizes shaky footage so people with movement disorders can record moments without distraction or compromise. Paired with Voice Control, the accessibility feature that lets users operate iPhone hands-free with spoken commands, the two technologies have an even great

Apple TV+ reveals darker, cutthroat return of The Morning Show in new trailer

Now six years later, The Morning Show remains one of Apple’s most popular series, and its star-studded cast k

Why email security needs its EDR moment to move beyond prevention

Security leaders today are rethinking email security, not because traditional methods have failed outright, but because the threat landscape and business needs have evolved beyond what legacy approaches can handle. A surprising but apt analogy keeps surfacing: email security is stuck where antivirus (AV) was a decade ago, and it’s time it evolved like AV did, into an element of EDR. The comparison might not be obvious at first. After all, email and endpoints seem like apples and oranges. But

Microsoft investigates outage impacting Copilot, Office.com

Microsoft is investigating an ongoing issue preventing users across North America from accessing Office.com and the company's Copilot AI-powered assistant.

I Saw the Future of AI Film and It Was Empty

Last year, filmmaker Paul Schrader—the director of Blue Collar, American Gigolo, and First Reformed, and writer of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver—issued what seemed like the last word on artificial intelligence in Hollywood filmmaking. A few days after the release of Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi blockbuster Dune: Part Two, Schrader asked his Facebook followers: “Will Dune 3 be made by AI? And, if it is, how will we know?” Schrader is well regarded not only as a director, but one of cinema’s top-she

Dex is an AI-powered camera device that helps children learn new languages

Three parents—Reni Cao, Xiao Zhang, and Susan Rosenthal—were worried about their children’s screen time, so they left their tech jobs to create a product that encourages children to engage with the real world while also helping them learn a new language. Their move has paid off, as the company recently raised $4.8 million in funding. The newly launched gadget is called Dex and resembles a high-tech magnifying glass with a camera lens on one side and a touchscreen on the other. When kids use the

Why we still build with Ruby in 2025

When we started Lago, we picked Ruby on Rails for our core API. The choice was obvious because our founding team had decade of Rails experience. Rails was the fastest way we could build an API product. Today, we’ve receive millions of API calls a day. We’ve upgraded through multiple Ruby/Rails versions. Maybe that sounds silly in a world where young, Python/Go/JS-wielding entitlements have never even heard of Ruby. We do admit that we’ve added Go and Rust where it makes sense. But if we were
