Eddington gets the pandemic right but still isn’t a great movie

A24 is known for its prestige arthouse films, but in its early days as a distributor, it made most of its money from elevated horror films like Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Midsommar. Over a decade in, the ambitions of A24 and Aster have expanded beyond genre film. But for both, the more recent results have been mixed. Eddington, Aster’s latest, feels like a continuation of the maximalist guilt-trip Beau Is Afraid. Joaquin Phoenix stars once again, though the concerns here are less Jewish and Oed

ChatGPT’s upcoming Image Styles could make it super easy to Ghiblify your images (APK teardown)

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR ChatGPT is working on an Image Styles feature that would add a pre-defined instruction set to your prompt to achieve a specific image style in your results. Users would be able to select from aesthetic styles such as “Anime,” “Cyberpunk,” “Coloring Book,” and more. These styles can be added as instructions for converting existing images or generating new ones. ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities are pretty nifty, and it’s largely credited for spa

Bluetooth pairing sucks on most Google TV devices, but Google wants to change that

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Fast Pair, meant to simplify Bluetooth pairing, is still not widely available on Google TV devices a year after its initial rollout. Despite a prior announcement suggesting a broad release, the feature is currently only supported on four devices, including the Chromecast models. Device makers must choose to enable Fast Pair on their TVs, and Google says it’s working with partners to bring the feature to more devices. Pairing a new Bluetooth acc

Marshall's first soundbar rocks as a mainstream alternative - Here's my take

ZDNET's key takeaways The Marshall Heston 120 is a one-box soundbar (no rear speakers or sub included) that retails for $999.

The AI bubble today is bigger than the IT bubble in the 1990s

Shark Steam Pickup 3-in-1 Hard Floor Cleaner Review: A Do-It-All Cleaning Gadget

To me, mopping is like filing my taxes or changing my oil. A necessary evil that I dread, a task that I procrastinate until I have no other choice. Luckily, I've been testing steam mops, which means I stopped mopping entirely in order to assess how well each model cleans. The floors of my 250-square-foot high-traffic kitchen have been … how do I put this … really gross. But so far, the Shark Steam Pickup 3-in-1 has ticked every box in what I'm looking for when it comes to an effective steam mop

Lovable becomes a unicorn with $200M Series A just 8 months after launch

Fast-growing Swedish AI vibe coding startup Lovable has become Europe’s latest unicorn. Only eight months since its launch, the startup has raised a $200 million Series A round led by Accel at a $1.8 billion valuation. Like Cursor and other platforms that help developers write code and build apps by harnessing the coding and reasoning abilities of large language models, Stockholm-based Lovable helps people use natural language to create websites and apps. The startup’s trajectory so far has cha

Don’t be duped: Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile’s cheapest plans aren’t worth it

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Recently, my cousin asked me whether Verizon’s myPlan Unlimited Welcome was better than his legacy plan, prompted by a promotional email he received. At first glance, the new plan looked cheaper and similar in features. But upon closer examination, his legacy plan had notable advantages, especially higher-priority data and a few other perks. Truthfully, none of the entry-level postpaid plans from Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T offer great value in 2025. There ar

Here’s how ChatGPT’s upcoming ‘Study Together’ tool could enhance learning (APK teardown)

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR OpenAI is working on a dedicated “Study Together” mode to help users grasp concepts better. Study Together is likely to help break down concepts into simpler terms and follow up with quizzes for more engaged learning. It is being tested with both free and paid users, suggesting non-paying users might also have access when it launches. AI tools, such as ChatGPT, have accelerated learning by making concepts much easier to find and summarize. Now, OpenA

The best VR accessories for 2025

Let’s get something out of the way first: any pair of wired headphones will work with any VR headset. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 4 headphones aren’t specifically designed for VR headsets, but they have plenty of features for enthusiasts. They have 360-degree spatial audio, a real game-changer for VR experiences, an AI-assisted microphone that reduces ambient noise and a fully customizable EQ, which comes in handy when streaming video or listening to music on a VR headset. These are also wirele

Economists made a model of the U.S. economy. Our debt crashed the model

People have been worrying about U.S. debt basically ever since there even was a U.S. “The accumulation of debts is a most fearful evil,” Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1787. At the time, U.S. debt was around $40 million. Today, it’s closer to $40 trillion. At the same time, the U.S. economy is bigger and more powerful than Jefferson could have ever imagined, and things are looking pretty good: unemployment is near record lows, inflation is under control… so what’s the problem? “Part of the problem i

I Got a Cortisol Blood Test. What I Learned About My Stress Was Important, but Not Fun

Historically, I haven't been great about managing my stress and anxiety, so whenever I come across a video or article about cortisol imbalances, my interest is piqued. Since cortisol is also called the "stress hormone," this content has made me wonder: Is my stress causing my cortisol levels to rise? Though I was nervous, I decided to take Quest's Cortisol Blood Stress Hormone Test, which was offered to me for free, to find out more. After my cortisol blood test, I had a lot of residual questio

Cortisol Imbalance: High Cortisol Symptoms and How to Fix Stress Levels

Cortisol is a hot topic these days, especially as many struggle to manage their stress. You may also have heard of the term "cortisol face" or "moon face," which can be attributed to high cortisol levels. "Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate your metabolism, blood sugar, inflammation, blood pressure and sleep-wake cycle," explains Dr. Mark Hyman, co-founder and CMO of Function Health, which offers a cortisol lab test. "It's most known for managing the body's

4 Best Music Streaming Services (2024): Spotify, Apple Music, and More Compared

Music sure has come a long way since you had to go dig through the bins at your local record store. You can pipe hundreds of millions of songs directly into your headphones from anywhere with an internet connection, all for the price of one CD each month. No more buying tracks or buffing out scuffs. All of these services’ libraries pretty much mirror each other, with the phrase “over 100 millions songs” being thrown around by multiple services. The things that separate streaming services are th

Hackers Are Finding New Ways to Hide Malware in DNS Records

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

Roblox introduces new safeguards for teens, including age estimation tech

Roblox announced Thursday that it’s launching new safeguards for people who are between the ages of 13 and 18. The company is introducing “Trusted Connections” to allows these users to connect more freely with people they know, alongside age estimation technology, more privacy tools, and insights for parents of teens. Roblox has come under fire in recent years for how it handles child safety. In April, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued a subpoena to Roblox in response to reports th

AI-generated music is going viral. Should the music industry be worried?

A bionic knee integrated into tissue can restore natural movement

“A prosthesis that's tissue-integrated — anchored to the bone and directly controlled by the nervous system — is not merely a lifeless, separate device, but rather a system that is carefully integrated into human physiology, offering a greater level of prosthetic embodiment. It’s not simply a tool that the human employs, but rather an integral part of self,” says Hugh Herr, a professor of media arts and sciences, co-director of the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics at MIT, an associate member of M

How these proposed standards aim to tame our AI wild west

ferrantraite/Getty Images Technology standardization has been something of an elusive holy grail, with new tech emerging faster than standards groups can keep up. Yet, somehow, things eventually come together -- at least for mature systems -- and achieve interoperability, be it email networks or developer tools. Now, a new race against time has come to the fore, with efforts to tame one of the fastest-developing technologies seen to date -- artificial intelligence. Can standards groups, with t

Hate Windows 11? Here's how you can make it work more like Windows 10

Pau Barrena/Bloomberg via Getty Images I wrote the original version of this post when Windows 11 was still less than a year old, after reading a ton of feedback from early adopters. I didn't have to spend a lot of time in support forums and other community sites to hear a steady stream of criticism from people who were annoyed by the changes Microsoft made in the Windows 10 user interface they had grown comfortable with. Enough time has passed since the original Windows 11 release that some of
