Thirty years after the last film in The Naked Gun crime-spoof comedy franchise, we're finally getting a new installment, The Naked Gun, described as a "legacy sequel."

WTF?! Being affected by a dangerous ransomware operation is bad enough, but at least you might have a chance to recover your files somehow. A recently discovered ransomware strain is making things even trickier by offering a new wiping option that allows affiliate criminals to completely destroy data after encryption.

WhatsApp introduces ads in its app

news.ycombinator.com Eli Tan 2026-03-13 03:38:59

When Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014, the messaging app had a clear focus. No ads, no games and no gimmicks. For years, that is what WhatsApp’s two billion users — many of them in Brazil, India and other countries around the world — got. They chatted with friends and family unencumbered by advertising and other features found on social media. Now that is set to change. On Monday, WhatsApp said it would start showing ads inside its app for the first time. The promotions will a

9 Urgent Questions About Trump Mobile and the Gold T1 Smartphone

wired.com Brian Barrett 2026-03-13 08:54:05

On Monday morning, the Trump Organization announced that it would soon offer a new wireless service, Trump Mobile, and a golden, $499 smartphone to go with it. None of it makes much sense. To be clear, the Trumps would be far from the only celebrities to moonlight as mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO, a pretty common practice where small carriers piggyback off of bigger networks under a different name.

No, it's not an original Peacock series. But I'd be doing anyone reading this a huge disservice if I didn't mention that the seven-season sitcom focused on the zany occupants of Pawnee, Indiana, has a home on Peacock. This goofy, big-hearted show has drawn genuine belly laughs out of me countless times. It's buoyant, witty and just as good on rewatch. The point is, you'll want to keep this one handy for a mood refresh when you can't get creepy Dr. Death and his spooky scalpel out of your head.

Is gravity just entropy rising? Long-shot idea gets another look

news.ycombinator.com George Musser 2026-03-13 19:36:41

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all sides. The object on the left absorbs the particles coming from the left, the one on the right absorb
