The First ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Trailer Is a Huge Level Up for Pandora

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-03 02:09:15

Give James Cameron three years to tinker with the same world, and everything is going to get bigger and better. That’s the main takeaway in this first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in Cameron’s mega-blockbuster sci-fi series. Everything in this trailer takes what we expect from Avatar and brings it up a notch. The action is bigger. The sets are more elaborate. The characters are more emotional. And, if we’ve come to learn anything from Cameron and this franchise, it’s sure to

The Pixel’s default Camera app isn’t the end-all be-all of photography on Pixels

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 21:00:54

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Pixel 9 The Pixel Camera app has long been considered one of the best camera apps on the market, and it’s easy to see why. The app offers a few standout modes, like Night Sight, astrophotography, and Best Take. For a long time, Google’s image processing was also considered superior to that of most other manufacturers. Needless to say, any alternative to the Pixel Camera app has some big shoes to fill. But after trying out a few alternatives, I’ve found a few app

What Is MicroSD Express? Everything You Need to Know

I got my Nintendo Switch 2, and my internal storage is already filling up with all my old games and saves! If you're in the same boat, you may have also noticed you can't just jam in the SD card from your original Switch and keep rocking. Instead, you'll need a new microSD Express card. This Express standard was introduced in late 2023, and it enables write speeds in the hundreds of megabytes, but until now the cards themselves were as rare as any devices that used the standard.

Let’s hope one iPhone 17 Pro camera rumor is dead wrong

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-01-03 16:40:17

Yesterday saw the emergence of three rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro camera system. The source for them has no track-record, so it’s entirely possible that all three are nonsense, but it’s at least plausible that they would have access to the claimed information. Two of the rumored features would be welcome, even if one sounds rather unlikely. But the third is something I’m very much hoping is dead wrong … The source claims to work for a video production company which lists Apple among its clie

Privacy apps Signal, Brave, and AdGuard push back against Windows Recall

The big picture: Since its announcement last year, Windows Recall has faced mounting criticism from privacy experts who have labeled it a potential surveillance tool – despite Microsoft's assurances of airtight security. Now, some developers are taking matters into their own hands, leveraging built-in Windows features to shield users from what many advocates view as a serious intrusion into personal privacy.

Formal specs as sets of behaviors

Amazon’s recent announcement of their spec-driven AI tool, Kiro, inspired me to write a blog post on a completely unrelated topic: formal specifications. In particular, I wanted to write about how a formal specification is different from a traditional program.

Scientists Uncover Surprising Link Between Tides and Earth’s Biggest Icebergs

Two years later, the fracture grew so large that a gigantic iceberg almost twice the size of New York City broke free in a process called calving, sending scientists scrambling to investigate the icy chunk, which they named iceberg A-81.

Scientists have discovered a dinosaur that might have chirped like a bird, a finding that suggests the evolutionary origins of birdsong may be far more ancient than we previously thought. In a paper published last week in the journal PeerJ, an international team of researchers describes a 163-million-year-old fossil found in northeastern China’s Hebei Province. The fossil dinosaur, which they’ve dubbed Pulaosaurus qinglong, measures just 28 inches (72 centimeters) and is largely complete, givin
