The Trump Phone Isn’t Just a Bad Deal, It’s a Full-On Privacy Nightmare

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-03-18 20:00:00

Bad news, folks: we all went to sleep, woke up, and the Trump phone is still here. That means a couple of things. For one, it means the T1 phone wasn’t the result of a spicy, food-fueled fever dream or a bad batch of crazy-style mushrooms—it’s a real phone that costs real money, made by a real president, who thinks “fox in the henhouse” is an allegory for how to win bigly in the U.S. government. It also means something else depressing, and it’s got nothing to do with making America great and eve

Ethan Hunt Doesn’t Die in the New ‘Mission Impossible,’ But They Considered It

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-03-18 20:00:11

When the eighth Mission: Impossible film changed its title to “The Final Reckoning,” we all had the same thought: Tom Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, was going to die. It would have been the most obvious way to add some real finality to the franchise, but we now know that doesn’t happen. Instead, Ethan lives, as does his sworn enemy, the Entity. And, in a new interview, writer-director Christopher McQuarrie discussed those crucial decisions and many more. In an extended, spoiler-filled conversa

Surgery Still Beats Ozempic and Other GLP-1 Drugs in Real-World Weight Loss Study

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-03-18 20:05:43

When it comes to weight loss, surgery still reigns supreme. Research out today shows that people undergoing bariatric surgery tend to lose significantly more weight than people taking the newest, most effective GLP-1 medications for obesity. Scientists at New York University conducted the study, which analyzed real-world data from obesity patients. People who received surgery lost five times more weight over a two year span on average than those who were prescribed a GLP-1 drug, they found. The

Windows 11 now lets EU users export Recall data – if they still trust it

Editor's take: Microsoft is testing a new Recall "export experience" for unpaid beta testers in the Windows Insider program that it was forced to build to comply with European laws. That said, we still believe every Windows user with a sane mind should simply disable and uninstall the entire Recall mess – for good. Microsoft recently released a new Windows 11 Preview Build to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders (KB5060816). The update includes a significant addition for owners of Copilot+ PCs

AI copyright anxiety will hold back creativity

During a later visit to a Picasso exhibit in Milan, I came across a famous informational diagram by the art historian Alfred Barr, mapping how modernist movements like Cubism evolved from earlier artistic traditions. Picasso is often held up as one of modern art’s most original and influential figures, but Barr’s chart made plain the many artists he drew from—Goya, El Greco, Cézanne, African sculptors. This made me wonder: If a generative AI model had been fed all those inputs, might it have pro

Fujifilm X half: Is it the perfect family camera?

When Fujifilm announced the Fujifilm X half, the internet was literally divided into two halves. Some people were disappointed that it offered limited features for its high price, while others were delighted and found it intriguing. In fact, some even predicted that the X half would sell out quickly. As someone who used Fujifilm cameras for a decade, starting with a X-T1 and then moving on to the X100F, X-H1, X-T30, and X100V, and finally switching to a Leica M11, I have some thoughts about the

“Have we no shame?”: Trump’s NIH grant cuts appallingly illegal, judge rules

The Trump administration has locked horns with a federal judge who ruled on Monday that more than $1 billion in DEI-fueled cuts to federal health research clearly discriminated against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people. In what The New York Times dubbed a “damning assessment” of Trump’s motives, Judge Williams G. Young ruled from the bench that the cuts were “void and illegal,” saying it was his “duty” to immediately order funding restored. “I would be blind not to call it out,” Young said,
