Before you start wondering about that age â yes, thatâs 100000 in binary, or 0x20 years in hexadecimal. And as we all
Fans of stealth video games likely have a soft spot in their hearts for Splinter Cell. Ubisoftâs sub-series of stealth-action games endorsed by Tom Clancy has been MIA for over a decade, even with a remake of the original game on the horizon. After doing guest roles in other Clancy games and in Netflixâs Far Cry anime, series lead Sam Fisher is back in all his shadowy glory in Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. Developed by John Wick alum Derek Kolstad, the animated series sees Fisherâvoiced by Liev Sc
Netflix's panel at this year's Anime NYC convention brought on a string of announcements and sneak peeks at its upcoming anime slate, including drops for the new season of the Emmy-award-winning series, Blue Eye Samurai.

Deadpool is, and will continue to be, everywhere. And yet, his new Marvel Legends figure is so good, it still somehow stands head, shoulders, and samurai swords above the rest. Hasbro just revealed the Marvel Legends Maximum Series Deadpool,

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Itâs been over two years now since Google released the Pixel Tablet Despite hearing from sources about work on a follow-up, the Pixel Tablet 2 was seemingly canceled In a new interview, Google executives confirm that tablet development is on pause.

It was exciting when the first rumors started rolling in about the Pixel 10 series adopting Qi2 . This meant the Pixel 10 would become the second Android phone to support the standard. Now that Googleâs latest flagship has launched, this wireless charging functionality has been officially confirmed, along with a collection of compatible accessories . But it turns out Qi2 support is a bit of a double-edged sword, as its inclusion directly resulted in the removal of a different feature. Since the
Introduction The SVG <path> element is notoriously tricky. When I first encountered it, I found it totally inscrutable. Its syntax isnât quite as bad as Regex, but it has the same sort of âwhat on earth?â vibes. At the same time, <path> elements are also incredibly useful. Theyâre the only way to create curved shapes in SVG, beyond full ellipses. And once you get the hang of it, theyâre actually quite a lot of fun to use! In this blog post, weâll cover all of the basic commands, including the
I was recently trying to convince a friend of mine that ChatGPT hasn't memorized every possible medical record, and that when she was passing her blood work results the model was doing pattern matching in ways that even OpenAI couldn't really foresee. She couldn't believe me, and I totally understand why. It's hard to accept that we invented a technology that we don't fully comprehend, and that exhibits behaviors that we didn't explicitly expect. Dismissal is a common reaction when witnessing A
In a conversation with the Reel Rejects, actor Sean Gunn discussed his role as Maxwell Lord as a connective thread between Superman and Peacemaker. Portraying the megabucks metahuman investor as someone who wants to work alongside metahumans is key to Gunn, and his take is to make sure heâs in the know of the choices being made, from outfits to the mural in the Hall of Justice. âThereâs no way that somebody in charge like that wouldnât be aware of whatâs going on, and we can tell,â he shared.

Its creators call it a âmulti-toolâ device. For many users, itâs a hacking accessory. Since it first debuted in 2020, the Flipper Zero has been considered a fun, low-key pen-tester, but a new report bolsters claims made by the toolâs critics, many of whom have argued that it makes nefarious hacking just a little too easy. 404 Media reports that claims the Flipper has become a favorite in a digital underground where low-level hackers create and sell their own software to modify the toolâs abilit
Google's Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are the company's latest flagship phones, packing a suite of new features. From the new Tensor G5 processor, faster charging and various new AI tools, the Pixel 10 Pro range has been refined in almost every way. Yet the design looks familiar, sporting an almost identical aesthetic to last year's model. Do I mind? Not at all -- I loved the Pixel 9 Pro, and I don't think its design needed overhauling just one generation later. The Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL go
OpenAI's latest GPT-5 model promises to be the most advanced AI assistant yet, but for the millions of workers using Microsoft Copilot for their daily routines, the reality is a bit more nuanced. Microsoft announced last week that GPT-5, OpenAI's latest ChatGPT AI model, is now integrated across its Copilot services, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot and the standalone Copilot app. While GPT-5 does deliver some noticeable improvements in polish, detail and helpfuln
If you're excited by the arrival of the next Battlefield installment, then you were probably battling for "C" right alongside me on the past beta weekend. I was there, mainly on my desktop, but also, briefly, on the device I believe to be the best purchase I've made since the pandemic: my Lenovo Legion Go S. While sitting in bed and playing Call of Duty multiplayer on the Legion Go S is one of my new favorite things to do, I thought (wrongly) that it would be great for Battlefield, too. Here's w
Today's solar flare forecasting is pretty straightforward. Earth has several instruments pointed at the sun that monitor it, and when a solar flare erupts, NOAA predicts whether it'll hit Earth and reports it via the Space Weather Prediction Center. But NASA and IBM may be able to do this faster and with a little more accuracy thanks to a new artificial intelligence model named Surya. Surya, which is Sanskrit for "Sun," is a 366M-parameter AI model developed to analyze the various cool things t
"Hola! ¿Hablas inglés?" I asked the woman who answered the phone in the Barcelona restaurant. I was calling in a futile attempt to make a reservation for the CNET team dinner during Mobile World Congress this year. Unfortunately, I don't know Spanish (I learned French and German at school). And as it turned out, she didn't speak English either. "No!" she said, and brusquely hung up. What I needed in that moment was the kind of AI call translation feature that's becoming increasingly prevalent

The US government is aiming to take an equity stake in Intel in exchange for grants the company was already committed to receive under the Biden era CHIPS Act, according to comments US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick made in an interview with CNBC. The move is part of the governmentâs efforts to boost US chip manufacturing. âWe should get an equity stake for our money, so weâll deliver the money which was already committed under the Biden administration,â Lutnick said. âWeâll get equity in re
