Just Half of ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Has Already Matched Season 1’s Ratings

The numbers are in, and Wednesday season two, part one has hit 50 million views in only five days. Based on a report from Variety, the show, which premiered August 4, has matched season one’s streaming performance. That might crack a sardonic smile from Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) herself and make Grandmama proud. Between this and KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix is killing it by knowing its audience and giving creatives the freedom to push storytelling boundaries. This season brought in more Addamses

I Won't Split AirPods With My Wife Again Thanks to This iPhone Trick

When my wife and I travel, we usually download some shows to watch on our flight. But we always have to split a set of AirPods when we watch these shows. That means one of our ears is enjoying the show while the other is forced to endure the crying baby behind us on the plane, which can be distracting. But thanks to Apple's Audio Sharing feature, we can each enjoy a show together while using our own sets of AirPods, AirPods Pro or other headphones. Audio Sharing was introduced with iOS 18 and i

What Is Creatine, and Should You Be Taking Most Studied Supplement (2025)

First, it was mushrooms in your coffee. Then protein in your soda. The latest wellness staple sneaking into your pantry is creatine. In the days of yore, creatine supplements were a muscle-bro staple, relegated to the lockers of collegiate linebackers and bodybuilders. Lately, it has muscled its way into Pilates studios, gym girlies’ TikToks, and longevity wellness retreats. TikTok content This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. “Creatine has been gaining popularity amo

NeoLogic wants to build more energy-efficient CPUs for AI data centers

When NeoLogic started building its more energy-efficient CPUs for AI servers, folks in the industry told its founders Avi Messica and Ziv Leshem that their idea wasn’t viable. “Most of the people that we have met say it’s impossible,” Messica told TechCrunch. “Some of them told us, at the time, that the innovation is impossible because you cannot innovate in logic synthesis. You can’t innovate in circuit design. It’s too mature.” Israel-based NeoLogic nevertheless set out to prove them wrong,

Chinese tech giant Tencent's quarterly revenue jumps 15% on AI investments, gaming unit boost

The Tencent logo is displayed on the exterior of a building at the company’s headquarters, with a surveillance camera visible in the foreground, on November 30, 2024, in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China.

We went hands-on with Google Translate’s Duolingo rival ahead of its launch (APK teardown)

TL;DR We managed to activate and use the Practice feature in Google Translate. This feature is effectively Google’s take on Duolingo and lets you practice a desired language. The feature currently lets you practice French or Spanish in a variety of preset scenarios, but you can also create your own lessons. Earlier this year, we discovered evidence that Google was working on a new Practice feature in Google Translate. This would allow people to (surprise) practice a desired language. Now, we’

I tested Preferred Sources, and it’s one of the best Google Search features in years

Joe Maring / Android Authority When we talk about Google Search in 2025, it’s usually not for a good reason. AI Overviews are more prevalent than ever, despite still not being particularly good. Google widely rolled out (the very flawed) AI Mode to users in May, and the traditional Google Search experience remains cluttered with ads and low-quality results. This has made me (understandably) hesitant when Google launches a new feature for Search, but the company’s latest one — Preferred Sources

I have a few older phones in my collection. I’ve rattled on about how I love each of them for a host of reasons: the Nokia 9 PureView for its quirky camera, the Galaxy Note 9 for its complete feature kit and S Pen, and the P30 Pro, which is somehow still nearly outlasting my Galaxy S24 FE on a sing

Apple takes Apple Cinemas to the courtroom box office

Apple has taken aim at Apple Cinemas in a new trademark lawsuit, and the dispute is starting to feel like it belongs on the big screen. The movie theater chain, founded in 2013 and long based in the Northeastern U.S., expanded to San Francisco last month and has plans for 100 locations nationwide, including some near Apple Park and Apple Stores. Joe Rossignol reported earlier this month for MacRumors: “Apple Cinemas is knowingly and intentionally using the name Apple to sow confusion for its

These cheap AirPods accessories solved my biggest problem with Apple's earbuds

The Rock Art of Serrania De La Lindosa

The Rock Art of Serrania De La Lindosa Within Southeast Colombia's Orinoco River basin, a series of massive rocky sandstone mesas, called tepuis, rise up from the dense humid jungle. Since ancient times the cliffs of these mountains were important cultural sites. They served as shelters, navigational way points, communal gathering sites, and as giant canvases for their rock art, for early inhabitants to communicate their mythologies, histories, and exploits. One such stretch of these tepuis, La

Threads crosses 400M monthly active users as it gains on X

Following a recent series of welcome updates as Threads turned two, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that his X competitor crossed 400 million monthly active users (MAUs), a 50 million boost since April. Zuckerberg’s announcement today was short, but significant: The last time Meta detailed its monthly active user number was on April 30, during its Q1 2025 earnings call, up from 320 million in Q4 2024 in late January. If it keeps it stride, this means Meta could see north of 100M MAUs

All-In on Omarchy at 37signals

We're going all-in on Omarchy at 37signals . Over the next three years, as the regular churn of hardware invites it, we're switching everyone on our Ops and Ruby programming teams to our own Arch-derived Linux distribution (and of course sharing all the improvements we make along the way with everyone else on Omarchy!). It's funny how nobody bats an eye when the company mandate is to use Macs or Windows, but when the prescription is Linux, it's suddenly surprising. It really shouldn't be. Y

Hackers leak Allianz Life data stolen in Salesforce attacks

Hackers have released stolen data belonging to US insurance giant Allianz Life, exposing 2.8 million records with sensitive information on business partners and customers in ongoing Salesforce data theft attacks. Last month, Allianz Life disclosed that it suffered a data breach when the personal information for the "majority" of its 1.4 million customers was stolen from a third-party, cloud-based CRM system on July 16th.

This Threshold-Climbing Robot Vacuum Overcame Every Obstacle in My Home

CNET's key takeaways No robot vacuum has truly solved the challenge of multilevel cleaning without requiring you to physically move it between floors. This robo-vac can do it, for the high-end price of $1,700. You won't find another robot vacuum with its features for less than $1,000 right now. The whole point of owning a robot vacuum is so you don't have to do the cleaning yourself. But that was never the case at my house -- partly because of what I call my "Ikea chair challenge."

The 20 Best PS4 Games

It has been more than a decade since Sony released the PlayStation 4, but the console is just as important as ever. Despite being released in November 2013, the PS4 is still in production today, with well over 100 million units being sold over its lifetime and some new games still arriving on it, including Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii. When it launched in 2013, Sony's eighth-gen console arrived with tech upgrades that seem du jour now, but were exciting over a decade ago. For instance

I Tried the New McDonaldland Meal for Adults, With Its Bizarre Pink and Blue Shake

McDonald's continues to capitalize on the love of its customers for the company's goofy history.

And the much-longed-for Snack Wraps finally returned after a viral fan campaign. Now, McDonald's has introduced the McDonaldland Meal, which goes straight after that market of adults who have a nostalgic feeling for the Golden Arches. And it comes

Research Psychiatrist Warns He’s Seeing a Wave of AI Psychosis

Mental health experts are continuing to sound alarm bells about users of AI chatbots spiraling into severe mental health crises characterized by paranoia and delusions, a trend they've started to refer to as "AI psychosis." On Monday, University of California, San Francisco research psychiatrist Keith Sakata took to social media to say that he's seen a dozen people become hospitalized after "losing touch with reality because of AI." In a lengthy X-formerly-Twitter thread, Sakata clarified that

Now That Google Is Trash, It Will Let You Pick Your Own News Sources

Google seems to have destroyed the quality of its search results (and its reputation) by loading its feed with sponsored results, pages boosted by SEO black magic, and AI-generated slop. So it’s putting the control back in your hands, for better or worse. The company announced today via blog post a new feature called Preferred Sources that will let users select their own favorite news outlets to appear at the top of their personalized search feed. According to Google, the feature has already st

Kodak Says It May Have to Close Up Shop

The iconic photography company Kodak could go out of business within a year. The 133-year-old American company warned investors Monday in a regulatory filing that there’s “substantial doubt” it can keep its doors open unless it pays down its debts or renegotiates its terms. In the filing, Kodak warned it has “debt coming due within twelve months and does not have committed financing or available liquidity to meet such debt obligations if they were to become due in accordance with their current

Dreame Just Unveiled Affordable Robot Vacuums That Can Climb Over the Threshold Between Rooms. I Saw Them First

Dreame is well known for its robot vacuums, with the Dreame X50 Ultra being one of CNET’s top picks due to its ability to cross obstacles with its lift system and advanced mapping and navigation.
