gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-07-27 17:26:47

In a surprise announcement this morning, Nintendo has confirmed the stars of its live-action Legend of Zelda movie. In a statement first revealed through its Nintendo Today app (which previously gave us the film’s original release date), the publisher confirmed that relative newcomers Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will play Princess Zelda and Link, respectively. This is Miyamoto. I am pleased to announce that for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda will be played by Bo

Best AV Receiver for 2025

AV receivers are notoriously complex, with reams of features and confusing technical specifications. (For example, what's 4K/120Hz anyway?) Yet, what are the things that really matter when buying a new model? I'm going to sum up the most important ones right here. HDMI inputs With most TVs and set-top boxes supporting HDMI, you should buy a receiver that has as many of these HDMI input ports and outputs as possible.

Hackers exploit a blind spot by hiding malware inside DNS records

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-27 17:15:04

Hackers are stashing malware in a place that’s largely out of the reach of most defenses—inside domain name system (DNS) records that map domain names to their corresponding numerical IP addresses. The practice allows malicious scripts and early-stage malware to fetch binary files without having to download them from suspicious sites or attach them to emails, where they frequently get quarantined by antivirus software. That’s because traffic for DNS lookups often goes largely unmonitored by man

Now Is a Very Good Time to Buy a Used EV. Here's Why

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2025-07-27 16:47:24

For years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised that his EV company would finally manufacture an affordable car in the $25,000 range. For years, he’s missed his own deadlines… until now? Step into a showroom run by EV Auto, an electric car dealership with three locations in the US states of Utah and Colorado, and you can choose from several Model 3s all hovering around the $20,000 mark. The catch? The catch is that these cars have at least several thousand miles on them—because they’re used. Some

5 reasons why I still prefer Perplexity over every other AI chatbot

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2025-07-27 12:38:00

Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg via Getty Images I've been working with artificial intelligence (AI) since the 1970s, when Lisp was state-of-the-art. Lately, like everyone else, I've been looking at AI a lot more closely. While it's nifty and getting genuinely useful, it can still blunder, like the time Google's AI Overviews recommended users to eat "at least one small rock per day." AI can also lose its mind, such as when Grok went totally MechnaHitler. Even when I tell J. Random Chatbot to summari
