Paramount’s ‘Star Trek’ Focus Is Back at the Movies—Including ‘Star Trek 4’ (Again)

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-26 06:18:43

There’s been no shortage of Star Trek for fans in recent years—provided, of course, they subscribe to Paramount+. But as the sci-fi stalwart’s number of streaming series has dwindled to just Strange New Worlds (which has an endpoint set after its fifth season) and the upcoming Starfleet Academy, the studio behind the franchise is seemingly ramping up hopes for a big-screen return. If that sounds like a promise you’ve heard before, you’re not wrong. The most recent reboot or Kelvin Timeline (or

Apple Watch Ultra 3 could remedy this current ‘Ultra’ discrepancy

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is coming very soon, and rumors indicate it could remedy a discrepancy that arose last year, when the Apple Watch Series 10 debuted several exclusive features that bested the latest Ultra model. Apple Watch Series 10 surpassed the latest Ultra model in several ways last year Last year after the Apple Watch Series 10 launched, I wrote an article that proved controversial.

You might want to think twice before you put a lot of stock in the latest stress charts from your fitness wearable.

Doctors Were Worse at Spotting Cancer After Leaning on AI, Study Finds

Artificial intelligence tools have been shown to help doctors detect pre-cancerous growths in the colon—but don’t even think about taking those tools away once you’ve introduced them. A new study published this week in The Lancet found that doctors who are given AI tools to assist with identifying potential cancer risks in patients get worse at making those same observations when they go back to doing it without AI’s help.

Polestar sets production car record for longest drive on a single charge

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-26 16:51:17

Ars recently reviewed the Polestar 3, the large electric SUV from the performance-oriented Volvo spinoff. There is a lot to like about the big Polestar, particularly the way it drives: sharp enough to give Porsche cause for concern. Among the handful of things I wasn't so keen on was its reluctance to drive slowly. Like a racehorse champing at the bit, the twin-motor Polestar 3 wanted to deliver lots of power with not much pedal travel, and it took a while, and some conscious effort, to adapt.

‘Are You Surprised?’: Trump Shrugs Off New Suspected Hack of Documents by Russia

President Donald Trump was asked on Wednesday about the recent hack of a computer system that holds highly sensitive federal court documents. Russia is suspected to be behind the attack, as the New York Times first reported on Tuesday. But Trump doesn’t seem to think it was a big deal, even as the president prepares to meet with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. Trump was asked by a reporter if he would bring up the hack when he meets Putin in Alaska on Friday. “I guess I could,” Trump replied

Best Organic Mattresses (2025): Birch, Avocado, Naturepedic, More

It's also good for combination sleepers like myself, who spend time in just about every position in the course of a night.

Why Trump’s “golden dome” missile defense idea is another ripped straight from the movies

In January 2024, Donald Trump revived the space-shield dream at a primary campaign rally in Laconia, New Hampshire, using the Star Wars nickname that Reagan hated. It didn’t work in the 1980s, Trump said, because the technology wasn’t there. But times have changed. Whether in Golden Age Hollywood or Trump’s impromptu dramatizations, the dream of a missile shield is animated by its sheer cinematic allure. “I’ve seen so many things.

Should we get the option of a round Apple Watch and more? [Poll]

No, I get it: round watches are a very inefficient use of space, and there is likely a reason that the Apple Watch continues to dominate the market. But what a new piece argues for is not to replace the existing Apple Watch design, but instead to offer us a greater range of options … It’s not coincidence that Apple chose a rectangular display for the Apple Watch.
