cnbc.com Sean Conlon 2026-01-22 11:04:52

The price of bitcoin was last down 2.8% at $116,516.00, according to Coin Metrics. That marks a pullback from the day's high of $120,481.86. Bitcoin fell below the $117,000 level on Tuesday after cryptocurrency-related bills were blocked in the House of Representatives. The drop comes on the heels of multiple crypto-related bills failing to overcome a procedural hurdle in the House, with 13 Republicans voting with Democrats to block the motion in a 196-223 vote.

More (But Not All) of the Original ‘Trek’ Crew Will Come to ‘Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-01-22 11:15:28

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is uniquely situated on the Trek timeline, showing us adventures that unfurled not long before the original series. That means that there’s no avoiding having some familiar character names popping up, and with that, the built-in fun of seeing, say, an iconic figure like Spock be played in a younger iteration, with Ethan Peck stepping in for Leonard Nimoy. This fun change in perspective is something fans already experienced in J.J. Abrams’ alt-world Star Trek movies

AI coding may not be helping as much as you think

A significant fraction of the money that people have paid for Generative AI has been for coding assistance. When I point to the positive uses of Generative AI, I invariably point to how GenAI serves as kind of valuable autocomplete for coding. In that context, a new study from METR, an AI benchmarking nonprofit, is shocking.

That, and of course the awkward inconvenience of M3GAN’s body being destroyed in the climax of the first film, meant her return for round two needed a mechanical do-over… including a few upgrades for good measure. Now that M3GAN 2.0 is heading home digitally today, you can see just how the team behind the movie made those upgrades to make the all

Hackers Can Tamper With Train Brakes Using Just a Radio, Feds Warn

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an advisory last week warning that a key train system could be hacked using nothing but a radio and a little know-how. The flaw has to do with the protocol used in a train system known as the End-of-Train and Head-of-Train. A Flashing Rear End Device (FRED), also known as an End-of-Train (EOT) device, is attached to the back of a train and sends data via radio signals to a corresponding device in the locomotive called the Head-o
