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

Why Is Tech Worried When Stocks Like Chevron Drop On Global Oil Worries?

Chevron’s stock declined sharply this week before paring back losses, as mounting concerns about volatility in the global oil markets spooked traders. Another group of worried market watchers? Tech companies, big and small. Casual observers sometimes wonder why technology stocks—often seen as disconnected from the oil industry—sometimes react sharply to oil price movements and related news. But the two sectors are much more connected than you might realize. That link largely stems from the br

Woman Goes to Get Brazilian Wax, Alarmed to Notice Waxer Is Wearing Meta’s Video Recording Glasses

Advocates have long contended that so-called "smart glasses," which when activated record whatever the wearer sees, pose serious privacy risks. There was a sharp outcry when Google debuted Project Glass more than a decade ago, and now with Meta's Ray-Ban AI glasses, a new generation is finding out the hard way just how creepy these surveillance wearables can be. In a recent viral TikTok video, influencer Aniessa Navarro said that she was in the middle of a Brazilian wax — which involves remova

Survey Finds That Self-Driving Is Actively Chasing Buyers Away From Tesla

Tesla's misleadingly-named "full-self driving" (FSD) feature — which still requires drivers pay attention to the road, even if they often fail horrifically at that simple task — is one of the Elon Musk-owned electric carmaker's biggest self-styled selling points. Until recently, the boastful multi-hyphenate entrepreneur's decade-plus of over-promising and under-delivering on assisted driving software did little to tarnish bullish investors' slavish devotion to Tesla. But now, as a new survey fr

Screen Saver is one of my favorite Pixel 10 features. Here’s how to use it

Joe Maring / Android Authority Among all of the software goodies introduced on the Pixel 10 series, one of my personal favorites is the new “Screen Saver” feature. When your Pixel 10 is charging, Screen Saver can display the current time, weather, and other information as an ambient, pseudo-smart display screen. It’s basically Google’s version of Standby Mode that was added to the iPhone in 2023. However, Screen Saver works a bit differently and with some additional customization options, as y

The case for Series 11e: Here’s why the next Apple Watch SE could have a new name

Apple is likely going to introduce a new Apple Watch SE at its Awe Dropping event in just over a week. While we’ve been referring to this device as Apple Watch SE 3 for quite some time now, we’re yet to ask: will it actually be called that? Rumor recap Apple Watch SE 3 is going to be a light refresh. It should introduce a new S11 chipset, which will bring moderate performance gains to Apple’s cheapest Apple Watch model. Currently, the Apple Watch SE packs an S8 chip, which uses cores from the

Vibe Coding as a Coding Veteran. From 8-Bit Assembly to English-as-Code

Note 1: On Tower of Hanoi Solutions and their Complexity. I chose the Tower of Hanoi puzzle (Lucas, 1883) because of its almost mythical status in computer science and discrete mathematics communities. It’s a staple in AI education and typically the first encounter with elegant doubly recursive algorithms for CS undergraduates. And, I chose the search algorithms mentioned in Section 1 because they constitute the core of the “state space search” paradigm in most AI textbooks (e.g., Chapters 3 and

No Clicks, No Content: The Unsustainable Future of AI Search

AI companies are causing a content drought that will eventually starve them. In a recent article, The Economist didn’t mince words: “AI is killing the web.” Published last month, the piece raises urgent questions about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the internet as we know it: ChatGPT, Google, and its competitors are rapidly diverting traffic from publishers. Publishers are fighting to survive through lawsuits, partnerships, paywalls, and micropayments. It’s pretty bleak, but unfortun

Replacing a Cache Service with a Database

Replacing a cache service with a database I’ve been thinking about this: will we ever replace caches entirely with databases? In this post I will share some ideas and how we are moving towards it. tl;dr we are still not there, yet. Why do we even use caches? Caches solve one important problem: providing pre-computed data at insanely low latencies, compared to databases. I am talking about typical use cases where we use a cache along with the db (cache aside pattern), where the application alw

Verizon Finally Restores Service in Most Areas After Day-Long Outage

Verizon said thousands of people who were affected nationwide by a massive outage now have service back. If your Verizon-backed phone was out most of yesterday or even still down today, you weren’t alone. The company said the blackout was caused by a “software issue” but did not respond to a request to elaborate on what exactly that meant. Verizon officials assured customers that their engineers were actively engaged in diagnosing and resolving the service disruption. By early evening, the com

Google Investors Surprisingly Chill About Major Data Breach

The stock of Google’s parent company ended Friday’s trading session relatively unchanged, as investors digested news of a major data leak and broader market developments. Alphabet Inc. (GOOG)’s shares closed at $213.53, up slightly from the day’s prior end price, despite Google‘s global security alert advising its 2.5 billion Gmail users to update their information following a data breach involving one of its Salesforce databases.

‘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

‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Finally Returns With a Fight-Fueled Season 3

The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen wrapped at the tail end of 2023, and MAPPA been quite silent on season three. With other projects fully wrapped or close to coming out, the studio’s ready to go back to Yuji Itadori and crew, and they’ll be back for more supernatural action in January 2026 on Crunchyroll. In case you’ve forgotten, last season ended with Sukuna taking over Yuji’s body to kill a lot of people in Shibuya. If that weren’t bad enough, several Jujutsu sorcerers were killed or badly

26 of the Best TV Shows to Stream on Disney Plus

All it took was half a decade for Disney Plus to become a must-watch streaming platform. Sure, having Walt Disney's name on anything pretty much ensures it'll experience some level of success. But considering how crowded the streaming landscape is with all sorts of shows begging for your attention, the Mouse House-owned streamer has earned its spot among heavy hitters like Netflix. In other words, it's one of the best streaming services out there. I mean, where else can you find Andor, Bluey an

Terminal sessions you can bookmark

Zellij is a terminal workspace and multiplexer. One of the unique traits of terminal multiplexers is their ability to keep sessions alive in the background without a terminal attached to them. In the recent Zellij version we released a built-in web client, allowing users to attach to these sessions from the browser - essentially making a dedicated terminal application optional. In this post we’re going to take a look at how we built the Zellij Web Terminal: which technologies we used, how we ar

Although, I never really felt like I had a honeymoon period with Go. I learned the language, learned about channels, wrote a bunch of CRUDs and parsers and CLIs. It always felt strictly business. I thought it was because of where I am in my career. But I was wrong. Go is vanilla. It just werks. You build it, you ship it. The language is simple and

Are people's bosses making them use AI tools?

This is not the usual type of content you will have come to expect from Piccalilli, but I feel like this topic, specifically, is an important aspect of our work to cover because as I see it, making or encouraging your development staff to use AI tools in their work is extremely short-sighted and risky. I want to support that stance with some conversations I’ve had with people actually doing the work and their mostly less than favourable experiences. I asked this across question social media:

Is it possible to allow sideloading and keep users safe?

In which I attempt to be pragmatic. Are you allowed to run whatever computer program you want on the hardware you own? This is a question where freedom, practicality, and reality all collide into a mess. Google has recently announced that Android users will only be able to install apps which have been digitally signed by developers who have registered their name and other legal details with Google. To many people, this signals the death of "sideloading" - the ability to install apps which don'

Compositional Datalog on SQL: Relational Algebra of the Environment

Basically, the relational algebra style of SQL actually meshes with manipulating the Datalog body environments (sets of named variables bindings)

TikTok users will soon be able to send voice notes, images and videos in chats

The social media app told TechCrunch that its users will soon be able to send voice notes, images and videos in direct messages or group chats. According to a TikTok spokesperson, these features will roll out in the next few weeks. As voice messaging has risen in popularity, TikTok will embrace the trend but is capping the length of its voice notes to one minute. For images an
