Apple announces new series ‘Pluribus’ from the creator of Breaking Bad, watch the teaser here

Apple today announced a new series from Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad. The series is called ‘Pluribus’ and stars Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul). It will premiere on Apple TV+ on November 7. It appears to be a mysterious sci-fi thriller in which “the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness”. You can watch the 30-second teaser after the break: Obviously, the show is highly-anticipated given the pedigree of the people behind it. Apple is also promoting the

‘Solar Opposites’ Returns One Last Time This October

It’s very sad bidding farewell to Solar Opposites, but at least we get one more 10-episode season to enjoy before it wraps up its entertainingly bizarre mix of sci-fi antics, surreal subplots, crass jokes, wacky t-shirts, holiday specials, and sweet lessons about found family. And we won’t have to wait too long: season six hits Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ starting October 13. There’s an official description of the new season as well as a teaser, neither of which tell us much: “Once their alien di

OpenAI Is Reportedly About to Release GPT-5

Is it *finally* happening? Save the Date OpenAI's release of GPT-5 might be right around the corner. Citing sources familiar with the matter, The Verge reports that the ChatGPT maker now expects to release the highly anticipated upgrade to its large language model as soon as early August, following several recent delays — and for power users, an unbearable years-long wait. OpenAI has been dropping hints about GPT-5 since 2023, but its development has been troubled, with reports of persistent

The next version of RCS messaging is going to be less of a pain

RCS has been around for over a decade, but the messaging standard gained a major boost when Apple adopted it in 2023. The GSMA has brought several features and improvements to RCS in recent years, and it’s just announced another upgrade. The GSMA just announced the release of RCS Universal Profile 3.1, which brings better audio messaging capabilities. This RCS release specifically supports the xHE-AAC audio codec, enabling higher-quality voice notes and other audio clips. It’s worth noting tha

Microsoft lifts Windows 11 update block for Easy Anti-Cheat users

Microsoft has removed a compatibility hold that prevented some Easy Anti-Cheat users from installing the Windows 11 2024 Update because of a known issue that triggers restarts with blue screen of death (BSOD) errors. When it acknowledged the bug last month, the company confirmed the issue impacted devices running Easy Anti-Cheat, a popular anti-cheating service installed with hundreds of multiplayer games, including Apex Legends, War Thunder, Dead by Daylight, ELDEN RING, Rust, Squad, NBA 2K25,

The 47 Best Shows on Hulu Right Now (August 2025)

While Netflix seemingly led the way for other streaming networks to create compelling original programming, Hulu actually beat them all to the punch. In 2011, a year before Netflix’s Lilyhammer and two years before the arrival of House of Cards, the burgeoning streamer premiered The Morning After, a pop-culture-focused news show that ran for 800 episodes over three years. Hulu has continued to make TV history in the years since, most notably in 2017 when it became the first streamer to win an E

Google’s second Android Canary release is already out for Pixel devices

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Google announced its Android Canary testing program earlier this month. Testers get access to cutting-edge features that still may not be stable enough for regular use. Today Google shares that its second Android Canary release is now available.

Here's What You Should Know About iOS 18.6 Before iOS 26 Releases This Fall

Apple's iOS 18.6 will likely be released soon, ahead of its iOS 26 this fall, but the company's July 21 iOS 18.6 release candidate didn't change much on the iPhones of developers and beta testers. While iOS 26 will bring a major redesign to iPhones, the latest iOS 18.6 beta is filled with bug and security fixes, so developers and beta testers shouldn't expect new features. Apple/Screenshot by CNET Because this is a beta, I recommend downloading it on something other than your primary device. T

‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Charts a Seafaring Course for Season 2

It was no surprise when Percy Jackson and the Olympians was renewed for a second season in early 2024—the Disney+ series was a hit when it premiered back in 2023, building on the popularity of Rick Riordan‘s fantasy-adventure novel series. Then—earlier this year, before season two even arrived—it was renewed for a third installment. That’s a huge boost of confidence for all involved, and the excitement came through in the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, held in the cavernous Hall H. Here’s Di

Comic-Con Just Gave Us Our First Look at ‘Ahsoka’ Season 2

The first season of Ahsoka was about the search for Ezra Bridger. So it’s fitting that the very first thing we see from the second season of the show is that character. At the Lucasfilm Pavilion at San Diego Comic-Con, amid a slew of fanfare for the history of Star Wars animation, an image sits alone, with a big smile on its face. It’s Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, with a new costume that confirms his look in season two. When last we saw Ezra on Ahsoka, he had miraculously returned from Peridea

'Sullivan's Crossing' Is Dominating My Netflix Feed. Why Have I Never Heard of It?

Each week, Netflix releases a list of the Top 10 films and TV shows dominating the platform, and for the week of July 14, we noticed that not one, but two seasons of a TV show called Sullivan's Crossing are sitting among the most-watched titles. The poster for the series features two actors I'm pretty well-acquainted with: Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray. They both co-starred in Gilmore Girls, although Murray's stint was just for a few episodes early in the series before he got his real

The Download: gas and oil’s role in climate tech, and using AI to decipher ancient Latin

—Casey Crownhart After writing about Quaise, a geothermal startup that’s trying to commercialize new drilling technology, I've been thinking about the role oil and gas companies are playing in the energy transition. It’s becoming increasingly common in climate tech to see a startup join up with a bigger fossil fuel company in its field, like Quaise has with Nabors Industries, one of the biggest drilling firms in the world. This industry has resources and energy expertise—but also a vested inte

Vanishing home field advantage in English football

Do clubs playing at home win more? Home field advantage is well-known to fans of different sports and is well-supported by the data. How prevalent is it in English football? That’s what I’m going to explore in this blog post. A few years ago, I did a similar analysis, but with a much smaller data set (see https://blog.engora.com/2021/01/covid-and-soccer-home-team-advantage.html). This time, I have complete English football league data from 1888 to the 2024-2025 season, so my analysis is going

Will AI think like humans? We're not even close - and we're asking the wrong question

Westend61/Getty Images Artificial intelligence may have impressive inferencing powers, but don't count on it to have anything close to human reasoning powers anytime soon. The march to so-called artificial general intelligence (AGI), or AI capable of applying reasoning through changing tasks or environments in the same manner as humans, is still a long way off. Large reasoning models (LRMs), while not perfect, do offer a tentative step in that direction. In other words, don't count on your mea

Google DeepMind's Aeneas model can restore fragmented Latin text

At its best, AI is a tool, not an end result. It allows people to do their jobs better, rather than sending them or their colleagues to the breadline. In an example of "the good kind," Google DeepMind has created an AI model that restores and contextualizes ancient inscriptions. Aeneas (no, it's not pronounced like that) is named after the hero in Roman mythology. Best of all, the tool is open-source and free to use. Ancient Romans left behind a plethora of inscriptions. But these texts are oft

Apple TV+ just confirmed a new season for its latest hit comedy

Apple TV+ is having its biggest year ever. While Severance is the undisputed highlight, comedies on the streamer have been on a hot streak too. And the latest hit comedy, Stick, just got an official season 2 renewal. Stick lands season 2 renewal at Apple TV+ You don’t have to be a sports fan, or care at all about golf, to root for Owen Wilson’s Pryce Cahill.

Google DeepMind’s new AI can help historians understand ancient Latin inscriptions

To do this, Aeneas takes in partial transcriptions of an inscription alongside a scanned image of it. Using these, it gives possible dates and places of origins for the engraving, along with potential fill-ins for any missing text. For example, a slab damaged at the start and continuing with ... us populusque Romanus would likely prompt Aeneas to guess that Senat comes before us to create the phrase Senatus populusque Romanus, “The Senate and the people of Rome.” This is similar to how Ithaca w

Wow, James Gunn Really Hated Those ‘Peacemaker’ Cameos in the Old DCU

The second season of Peacemaker, starring WWE champion and actor John Cena, is just around the corner. With it comes a lot of questions about how the anti-hero will fit into both the old and new DC canon, given his limbo status, which has even led DC Studios head James Gunn to voice his frustration. Speaking with Den of Geek ahead of San Diego Comic-Con, Gunn reiterated that the second season of Peacemaker will address all the continuity confusion questions related to DC’s past and present. “T

'South Park' Season 27: How to Watch the Premiere Without Cable

Kenny, Kyle, Stan and Cartman are about to return. Comedy Central South Park's season 27 rollout has been hectic. The hit animated series has had its premiere date pushed and lacked definitive streaming details caused by behind-the-scenes ongoings.

‘Wednesday’ Is Snapping Back for Season 3 and a Spinoff

In a few weeks, the Addams Family series Wednesday is debuting its second season on Netflix. Good news for fans of the show: it’s already been renewed for a third. Creator Tim Burton and star Jenna Ortega just broke the news in a Hollywood Reporter cover story about their working together on the show and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. They were both understandably tight-lipped on further details, but showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar talked about their hopes for a seven-season run. (Nevermore

I'm Unsatisfied with Easing Functions

I'm unsatisfied with easing functions You've probably encountered easing functions before. If you're a creative coder, you've likely heard of them or used them. If you're a user, you've certainly interacted with them. They're everywhere, and they give a little more life to computer generated animations. Taking it easy For the uninitiated: let's say you've got a circle that you want to move from left to right over the course of a second. We can conceptualize this by converting the time into pr

53 of the Best TV Shows on Netflix That Will Keep You Entertained

When you open your Netflix app, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the number of shows to choose from. All that choice can make it hard to figure out what to stream -- we've all done the infinite scroll, spending an hour looking for something before just giving up and watching old episodes of Seinfeld. Not to mention the fact that some shows have a shorter shelf life than others and it's hard to tell when something will leave the platform forever. That's why we've handpicked some of the most enterta

Splitgate 2 is yanked back to beta a month after release

Splitgate 2, the follow-up to the hugely successful 2021 Quake-Portal hybrid concept, is returning to beta. The game launched last month, but developer 1047 Games is pulling it after deciding the release had been rushed. The company doesn't plan to release the project again until 2026. "We'll be heads down until early next year, rebuilding major parts of the game to capture the spirit of what made Splitgate special," the founders said in a post to the game's Reddit community.

Leaked Slack Messages Show CEO of "Ethical AI" Startup Anthropic Saying It's Okay to Benefit Dictators

In the so-called "constitution" for its chatbot Claude, AI company Anthropic claims that it's committed to principles based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, instructing its chatbot to prioritize freedom, equality, freedom of thought, and adequate standards of living in its responses.
