This Dyson air purifier shoots out fresh air like a jet engine

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Dyson is launching a new air purifier that’s designed to look — but thankfully, not sound — like a jet engine. The Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact is launching in the US on September 30th for $349.99, featuring a new nozzle design that’s shaped to help the device blast jets of air at high speed, similar to how a concentrator works on a hairdryer. The increase in airflow velocity allows the HushJet Purifier C

‘The Black Phone 2’ Trailer Sees Ethan Hawke Call Collect Supernatural Vengeance

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse just released a new trailer for the sequel to Ethan Hawke’s terrifying horror film, Black Phone 2. The short story that the original movie is based on, written by Joe Hill (son of Stephen King), follows a masked serial killer who abducts children, locks them in his basement, and torments them. That is until one kid, Finney (Mason Thames), uses a black rotary phone to speak to the ghosts of The Grabber’s victims and hatches a plan to escape, kill the Grabber, and

One way to keep mainlining your favorite villains and settings is to dive into sequel territory.

Are you ready for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple trailer?

Fans of the 28 Days Later franchise were thrilled to finally get a follow-up this year with 28 Years Later—and they weren't disappointed. Sony Pictures has already wrapped filming on a sequel: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, slated for release early next year and directed by Nia DaCosta. The first trailer just dropped and the film looks as grimly compelling as its predecessor, while hopefully also retaining something of the 2025 film's heart. (Spoilers for 28 Years Later below.) As previously

Android’s Quick Share upgrade is here to make file transfers more convenient

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Google is widely rolling out its redesign of Quick Share. The redesigned UI introduces separate “Send” and “Receive” screens. Users can select files directly from the Send screen and preview them. Google’s Quick Share makes it easy to share files between devices wirelessly, whether that’s with another Android device, Windows PC, or Chromebook. Since April, we’ve been aware that Google was working on a major revamp to the UI. That redesign even started r

Warp Code: the fastest way from prompt to production

The primary use case here is small edits to agent-generated code – because sometimes a hand-edit is faster than re-prompting; like when you just want to change a variable name, edit a bit of copy, or rewrite a small function. We also shipped a simple file tree for browsing, opening, and adding files as context, as well as file opening and creation using the file palette (cmd-O). We aren’t trying to rebuild an IDE here – we think the ADE approach is where things are headed. But, we do see the v

Sharing Is Scaring: Linking Cloud File-Sharing to Programming Language Semantics

Sharing Is Scaring: Linking Cloud File-Sharing to Programming Language Semantics Skyler Austen, Shriram Krishnamurthi, Kathi Fisler SPLASH Onward!, 2025 Abstract Users often struggle with cloud file-sharing applications. Problems appear to arise not only from interface flaws, but also from misunderstanding the underlying semantics of operations like linking, attaching, downloading, and editing. We argue that these difficulties echo long-standing challenges in understanding concepts in progra

The First Trailer for ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Expands the Zombie-Infested World

If the first trailer for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was just the words “Aren’t you excited you only had to wait three months to see this footage?” it would be enough. The fact is, in modern Hollywood, it’s incredibly rare for a movie to come out in June and for its sequel to be heading to theaters six months later, in January. But that’s what happened with 28 Years Later and its sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which will be out January 16, 2026. And, lucky for us, the trailer is mu

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Songwriter on Crafting the Movie’s Breakout Hit

The biggest earworm from KPop Demon Hunters, “Golden,” has helped propel the hit Netflix and Sony animated feature to success atop both the streaming and music charts. And now we know a bit more about the lore behind the Huntr/x track. Songwriter and singing voice of Rumi, one of the film’s lead demon hunters, EJAE talked about the film’s breakout song with Variety. “One of the biggest assets I brought to the movie, or when writing the songs, was being bilingual,” she shared about bringing cul

We Finally Know What the Upcoming ’28 Years Later’ Sequel Is About

This summer’s 28 Years Later ended on a maddening, disturbing cliffhanger. Spike (Alfie Williams) decided to leave his family and its safe village to explore the world, only to run into the insane Jimmy (Jack O’Connell) and his jumpsuit-wearing gang. What did this have to do with the film we’d been watching? What did it have to do with what’s coming next? We finally have some answers. Those answers are coming in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which opens in theaters January 16, 2026. That’s a

Call of Duty is getting the movie treatment, courtesy of Paramount

Paramount has just signed a deal with Microsoft and Activision to make a movie based on the iconic Call of Duty franchise. The valuation of the deal hasn't been revealed, but CoD is a mighty lucrative IP . We don't know much about the specifics of the deal, other than it covers a live-action feature film that Paramount will develop, produce and distribute. This means we don't have any information about the cast, creative team or what game or era the film will pull from. After all, there have b

Google’s Play Games update will show people what you’re playing

Google is readying an update for its Play Games app that will introduce stats and milestones to your all-new profile. From September 23 (October 1 in the EU and UK), other players will be able to see which games you’ve played and for how long, as well as any achievements you’ve unlocked. Google says there will also be new "social features," but it’s not yet clear what they’ll be. It sounds a lot like Google’s take on Steam profiles (similar features are also available on PlayStation and Xbox) a

Call of Duty is being adapted into a live action film as part of a new deal signed by Activision and Paramount.

Dwayne Johnson Is Ready to Be More Than His Blockbusters

Dwayne Johnson has become one of the biggest actors in Hollywood, headlining a plethora of blockbuster movies. Some have been good, most have been passable, although things really hit the fan with Black Adam collapsing under Johnson’s and Warner Bros.’ feet. No matter! Johnson is back and stepping it up: His latest film The Smashing Machine is getting so much buzz that its giving Johnson the room to start to rewriting his own cinematic history. In a recent press conference for the film at the V

Drew Barrymore Wants To Remake Cult Horror Comedy ‘Death Becomes Her’ With Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston

Hollywood remakes—be they sequels or reboots—are so extremely in vogue that they verge on being among the only movies that seem to get made these days. So it makes sense that Drew Barrymore is soft-pitching a remake of the 1992 cult classic dark horror comedy film, Death Becomes Her. Speaking on her eponymous talk show, Barrymore said she wants to work with friends Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler to revive a bunch of older films. And chief among them is Back to the Future director Robert Zeme

We’re Stunned by Just How Powerful and Brutal ‘The Long Walk’ Is

The Long Walk is brutal. It’s not for the faint of heart. It can be violent, disgusting, and incredibly hard to watch. But if you do watch, you’ll be rewarded with a surprisingly beautiful, nuanced, human story. One that’s about friendship, hope, life, love, family, and everything in between. The Long Walk is a horror movie for sure, but it’s got a massive, massive heart too. Based on one of the earliest novels by a little-known author named Richard Bachman (most know him by his real name, Step

RIP Graham Greene, ‘Dances with Wolves’ and ‘Twilight’ Actor

Oscar-nominated Graham Greene passed away on Monday at 73 years old. Per Greene’s agent speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, the Ontario-based actor had been battling a “lengthy illness.” Born June 22, 1952 in Ontario’s Six Nations Reserve, Greene was an executive director for the Native Theatre School program in Toronto’s Centre for Indigenous Theatre. After spending the 1970s doing professional theatre in Toronto and England, he made his TV debut in an episode of 1979’s The Great Detective. (H

Can You Develop Film in a Jägerbomb?

Analog photographers love trying new and unusual things. Whether it’s shooting on expired film, skipping film altogether, or developing film using odd ingredients. Sweet Lou Photography opted for this last type of experimenting and developed his film inside a Jägerbomb. Did it work? For those who have not had the displeasure of drinking a Jägerbomb, it is a bomb mixed drink that combines a shot of the alcoholic German digestif, Jägermeister, into an energy drink, typically a Red Bull. This is n

Git for Music – Using Version Control for Music Production (2023)

last updated on 6 Apr 2024 Being both a musician and a software engineer, I always felt that these two areas are almost completely separated. My developer skill-set seemed to have little to no use for my work as a musician. Which is a pity considering how cool it would be if there was some kind of a sinergy across these two sides of my life. Recently, though, I have found a useful possibility to utilize something I previously used solely for my development work, namely, git, the version contro

'The Wrong Paris,' 'aka Charlie Sheen' and More New Netflix Movies You Shouldn't Miss This September

Netflix's September movie lineup is a sampler of everything the streaming service has become known for: riveting, real-life documentaries, family-friendly romances and great films from all over the world. One of the month's biggest titles is sure to be aka Charlie Sheen, the two-part documentary about the actor's life. Sheen has been on a path to sobriety and reflects on his often chaotic life, which was fodder for tabloids for decades. That film arrives on Sept. 10. In The Wrong Paris, out Se

Mamoru Hosoda’s ‘Scarlet’ Gets Bumped to 2026 in North America

Mortal Kombat II isn’t the only movie leaving 2025. Scarlet, the next film from Studio Chizu and anime director Mamoru Hosoda, is now arriving in early 2026 for North American audiences. Sony’s opted to push the film out of its initial December 12 slot. It’s still expected to release on November 21 in Japan and screen at film festivals in Venice, Toronto, and New York through their respective film festivals in early September and early October. The press release calls these festival screenings

FTC chair warns Google about Gmail’s ‘partisan’ spam filters

Andrew Ferguson, the Trump-appointed chair of the Federal Trade Commission, recently expressed concern that “Alphabet’s administration of Gmail is designed to have partisan effects.” In a letter addressed to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Ferguson pointed to a recent story in the New York Post describing complaints by Targeted Victory (a consulting and PR firm that’s worked with the Republican National Committee and Elon Musk’s X) claiming that Gmail flags emails linking to the Republican fundrais

Director Jim Jarmusch ‘disappointed and disconcerted’ by Mubi’s funding from Sequoia

In Brief Veteran indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch premiered his new movie “Father Mother Sister Brother” today at the Venice Film Festival, where journalists asked him about Mubi, the streaming platform that co-produced the film — specifically, about Mubi’s recent $100 million funding round led by Sequoia Capital. “I was disappointed and disconcerted by this relationship,” Jarmusch said, while noting that his own “relationship with Mubi started much before that, and they were fantastic to work wit

‘Call of Duty’ May Enlist for a Movie Adaptation

Activision Blizzard and Microsoft’s Call of Duty franchise could take its blockbuster success to the big screen. According to Puck’s Matt Belloni, Paramount is currently negotiating for film rights to the long-running shooter series. Getting this IP is said to be a “tough priority” for new Paramount head David Ellison, since it’d be another major gaming property in the studio’s portfolio after Sonic the Hedgehog. There’s a new Call of Duty game annually—Treyarch and Raven’s Black Ops 7 lands in

A24's Empire of Auteurs

In November of 2015, the upstart film studio A24 had a problem. Executives had acquired the writer-director Robert Eggers’s stark, unsettling début, “The Witch,” at the Sundance Film Festival and wanted to make it their first release to open on thousands of screens. But both Eggers and Anya Taylor-Joy, who starred as a teen-ager tempted by unholy forces, were then unknown. The story, set in the sixteen-thirties and scripted in Early Modern English, was a tough sell. To generate buzz, the company

Warner Bros. Shifts ‘Mortal Kombat II’ Release Date to Summer 2026

Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) will have to wait for showtime just a little longer than originally anticipated, as Mortal Kombat II will bow out of 2025’s fall movie release schedule, instead opening in May 2026. The Warner Bros., New Line, and Atomic Monster production was originally slated to be released on October 24 of this year, but that is no longer the case. According to Deadline, it’s not a reflection of the film’s quality, as the trade reports the film has been testing well, but rather a piv
