M3gan 2.0 is a fun upgrade that’s a little too self-aware

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. Universal and Blumhouse’s first M3gan feature came out of nowhere with a premise so ridiculous and campy that it was hard not to be at least a little intrigued. Equal parts Child’s Play and Small Wonder, M3gan was undeniably silly with its story about an AI-powered doll who sang Sia’s “Titanium” and danced around as she chopped people

The best smart rings of 2025: I tested and found an obvious winner

At this point in the smart ring race, everyone is trying to beat Oura. But the Oura Ring 4 proves that the smart ring pioneer's position isn't wavering anytime soon. While most smart rings simply provide you with collected health data, the Oura Ring 4 tells you the story and the context behind that data for greater information on your health. Why we like it: What separates the Oura Ring 4 from its competition is its commitment to helpful and actionable health insights that can change or encoura

Show HN: A Python Language Server, Mypy-compatible

In 2012, I created Jedi—a Python auto-completion library that eventually reached millions of users and billions of downloads. But as the ecosystem evolved, one limitation became clear: speed. Jedi’s architecture couldn’t deliver the performance needed for large-scale projects. In 2020, I started over—with everything I’d learned—building ZubanLS from the ground up in Rust. After five years of full-time work, ZubanLS is now the first truly fast Python language server. ZubanLS is built for profes

Forget JBL, Sony 3.1 Channel Soundbar Matches Its Black Friday Price and Beats Last Prime Day’s Deal

Lots of us tend to idealize an amazing TV as the perfect way to set up that home entertainment area, and then if we ever get one, we just sort of leave it at that.

We think it is, and the best way to do that is with an incredible soundbar, ideally one that’s somehow not going to cost too much. See at Amazon Well, Amazon just so happens to have a deal on r

Graphic artists in China push back on AI and its averaging effect

Sendi Jia, a designer running her own studio between Beijing, China, and London, England, says she mainly uses AI generators like DALL-E to make fake photos for background panels or websites when her clients don’t have access to real ones. That’s helped clients with limited budgets, but it’s also exposed just how much of the creative process AI can replace. Recently, a potential client working in a university contacted Jia about creating the logo for a new project. Then, they changed their mind.

AI tool Xbow becomes first non-human to top ethical hacker leaderboard

I’ll only upgrade to the Galaxy Watch 8 if it focuses on these 2 features

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve used several smartwatches throughout my career, switching between devices to match my changing priorities. However, the one smartwatch I always return to is my Galaxy Watch 4. Now paired with a Galaxy smartphone, it’s become the center of my ecosystem.

While the watch is starting to show its age, as its chipped exterior

Finally, a premium multitool that doesn't feel like I'm getting scammed

A good multitool can be a reliable companion for decades (as long as you don't lose it!). Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I like having a good multitool close at hand and at all times. While they can't replace a proper toolkit, I don't fancy carrying a full toolkit with me when I'm out and about. Many of my readers are like me, often finding themselves doing random and unplanned DIY tasks throughout the day, so having a portable toolkit that can handle the basics is essential.

Starcloud can’t put a data centre in space at $8.2M in one Starship

Abstract Starcloud have claimed that a single 100-ton Starship launch could suffice to create a 40 MW space data centre (SDC) for $8.2 M. My analysis finds that this is infeasible in a single launch but requires a total of upto 22 launches. The SDC’s solar arrays require 4 launches determined by examining existing solar arrays on the ISS. Similarly, the ISS’s radiator benchmarks indicate that 13 launches would be needed for the SDC’s thermal management system. The server racks would require an

Collections: Nitpicking Gladiator's Iconic Opening Battle, Part I

This week, we’re going to take a close look at arguably the most famous and recognizable Roman battle sequence in film: the iconic opening battle from Gladiator (2000). Despite being a relatively short sequence (about ten minutes), there’s actually enough to talk about here that we’re going to split it over two weeks, talking about the setup – the battlefield, army composition, equipment and battle plan – this week and then the actual conduct of the battle next week. The iconic opening battle,

Apple Research unearthed forgotten AI technique and using it to generate images

Today, most generative image models basically fall into two main categories: diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion, or autoregressive models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o. But Apple just released two papers that show how there might be room for a third, forgotten technique: Normalizing Flows. And with a dash of Transformers on top, they might be more capable than previously thought. First things first: What are Normalizing Flows? Normalizing Flows (NFs) are a type of AI model that works by learning

“My Malformed Bones” – Harry Crews’s Counterlives

Adjust Share One night in early 1941, when Harry Crews was five years old, his father nearly killed his mother with a twelve-gauge shotgun. Looking back almost four decades later, Crews didn’t find that fact particularly exceptional. This was Bacon County, Georgia, where in those days “it was not unusual for a man to shoot at his wife,” as he wrote in his memoir A Childhood: The Biography of a Place. “It was only unusual if he hit her.” Crews and his older brother heard the shot, which blew the

A Wild New Take on ‘Phantom of the Opera’ Is Coming, and No One Has Any Idea What It Is

For the past few months, Phans (The Phantom of the Opera fans) have been following mysterious messages and clue drops around New York City for something called Masquerade.
