‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Is a Suitably Fun, Undeniably Thin Dino Adventure

Jurassic World Rebirth is everything both good and bad about the Jurassic franchise rolled into one. It borrows from the original film with a straightforward story that quickly pits our heroes against a new group dynamic: terrifying dinosaurs. However, it lacks much of the rich characterization and emotions inherent to making that story special. You’re glad that it’s fast-paced and action-packed, but bummed you don’t care that much about it. In the end, though, especially after the previous film

The Project Hail Mary trailer looks like The Martian all over again (in a great way)

Andy Weir's sci-fi books are practically built to be turned into movies, especially in the hands of great writers and directors. That's what happened with The Martian, which was a delightfully nerdy self-published novel that was transformed into a thrilling film adaptation — thanks to Drew Goddard's script and Ridley Scott's bold direction. And I have a feeling the same will be true for the latest Weir adaptation, Project Hail Mary, judging from the first trailer released today. It's got everyt

At the end there is a brief takeaway that explains how to generally avoid complications and loss of opt

Touching the back wall of the Apple store

Touching the back wall of the Apple store 23 Jun, 2025 Here's a dumb story. When I was in high school, my friends and I had a game we used to play at the mall: we would go into the Apple store and try to make it to the back wall of the store, touch it, and exit out the front without an Apple staff person talking to us. We were fascinated with the Apple store in the mall because it was essentially an interactive luxury goods store where they'd let you actually grasp all the luxury goods with y

The Unsustainability of Moore's Law

Roughly every two years, the density of transistors that can be fit onto a silicon chip doubles. This is Moore’s Law. Roughly every five years, the cost to build a factory for making such chips doubles, and the number of companies that can do it halves. 25 years ago, there were about 40 such companies and the cost to build a fab was about $2-4 billion. Today, there are either two or three such companies left (depending on your optimism toward Intel) and the cost to build a fab is in excess of $1

I Let AI Agents Plan My Vacation—and It Wasn't Terrible

The worst part of travel is the planning: the faff of finding and booking transport, accommodation, restaurant reservations—the list can feel endless. To help, the latest wave of AI agents, such as OpenAI’s Operator and Anthropic’s Computer Use claim they can take these dreary, cumbersome tasks from befuddled travelers and do it all for you. But exactly how good are they are digging out the good stuff? What better way to find out than deciding on a last-minute weekend away. I tasked Operator, w

Group of investors represented by YouTuber Perifractic buys Commodore

‘Predator: Badlands’ Joins Disney’s San Diego Comic-Con Plans

The hunt will be on at San Diego Comic-Con, where Predator: Badlands will get the spotlight. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the sci-fi film will get a Hall H panel during the convention weekend. It’ll be the second big Disney movie of the fall season to make an appearance at the famed Hall, joining October’s Tron: Ares. Both films will fill in for a lack of Marvel at this year’s convention, and it’ll be the Predator franchise’s first theatrical movie to hit SDCC since Shane Black’s 2018 reboot. (P

I’d give everything for a pre-configured Android gaming handheld

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority Retro gaming handhelds have come a long way in the past few years, but there’s still one big sticking point: the setup. Every time a new handheld comes in for review, I have to spend hours installing emulators, fixing folder structures, and configuring a frontend. Once that’s done, I still have to configure settings and shaders for each console individually, which requires arcane knowledge in popular emulators like RetroArch. Compared to Linux-based handheld

The best NAS devices of 2025: Expert tested
