When audiences return to Lumon Industries sometime in the near future, it will be without a major component. Ben Stiller, one of the producers and directors of the hit Apple TV+ show Severance, will not be directing any episodes in season three. “I’m at the point in my life where I’m like, ‘The clock is ticking,’” Stiller told the Los Angeles Times.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-24 03:18:22

In recent weeks, the secretive Chinese space program has reported some significant milestones in developing its program to land astronauts on the lunar surface by the year 2030. On August 6, the China Manned Space Agency successfully tested a high-fidelity mockup of its 26-ton "Lanyue" lunar lander. The test, conducted outside of Beijing, used giant tethers to simulate lunar gravity as the vehicle fired main engines and fine control thrusters to land on a cratered surface and take off from ther

Newsletter subscription platform Substack will begin taking advantage of an option on the U.S. App Store that allows users to make purchases outside of Apple’s in-app purchasing system. This functionality is permitted by a change to the App Store’s rules in May, as a result of Epic Games’ antitrust lawsuit against the tech giant.

AWS has introduced new pricing for Kiro, its AI-driven coding tool, but unlike the pricing originally announced, the latest plans are "a wallet-wrecking tragedy," according to many of its users. "Kiro's spec-driven AI IDE is a gem," said open source PHP and Laravel engineer Antonio Ribeiro on GitHub, "until I saw your new pricing."

Netflix just announced it’ll release the monster movie in select theaters on October 17 before debuting on the platform November 7. Now, there’s no word yet on just how “select” the “select theaters” will be. Is it two screens? Is it 2,000?
