Thank God, Regina Hall and Anna Faris Are Back for the ‘Scary Movie’ Reboot

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-29 12:00:39

Scary Movie making a comeback was welcome if not entirely surprising news—with Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Final Destination all getting new entries, it only made sense that the series that spoofed them also returned. And now it’s been confirmed that Regina Hall and Anna Faris—who played besties Brenda and Cindy across the series—will be back to star. Hall and Faris appeared in all the Scary Movie films except for Scary Movie 5, which hit theaters in 2016. Their reunion for Sca

Best Apple Watch (2025): Buyer’s Guide to the Series 10 and SE

wired.com Adrienne So 2025-11-29 12:00:00

If you have an iPhone, the Apple Watch is the best wearable to go with it. But what's the best Apple Watch to buy? Just a little while ago, this question was more complicated. In 2024, a court ruling dictated that Apple could no longer sell the latest watches—the Series 9, the Watch Ultra 2, and the Series 10—with a blood oxygen sensor. The medical technology company Masimo alleged that Apple had infringed on its patent. However, in August 2025, Apple redesigned the sensor via a software update,

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Most of us already know that carrying unencrypted data on portable drives is a bad idea. The consequences of that data falling into the wrong hands can range from embarrassing to damaging to potentially opening up you or your company to legal headaches. But encrypting data on external drives can also be a pain. If you have to run separate applications, things quickly become a big hassle, and that's how data gets left unencrypted.

Open-Sourced AI Models May Be More Costly in the Long Run, Study Finds

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-11-29 17:00:24

As more businesses adopt AI, picking which model to go with is a major decision. While open-sourced models may seem cheaper initially, a new study warns that those savings can evaporate fast, due to the extra computing power they require. In fact, open-source AI models burn through significantly more computing resources than their closed-source rivals when performing the same tasks, according to a study published Thursday by Nous Research. The researchers tested dozens of AI models, including

Why on Earth would NASA build a nuclear reactor on the Moon?

"Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon" is not a headline I imagined reading before last week. Sure, as a sci-fi loving nerd, I could see a future where nuclear power played a role in permanent Moon settlements. But the idea of NASA building a 100-kilowatt microreactor there in the next five years seemed ridiculous. Not so, according to scientists.

Good news, everyone! Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have coined a new term to describe our brains being dumb. In a recent study, they provide evidence for a distinct but common kind of cognitive bias—one that makes us reluctant to take the easier path in life if it means retracing our steps. The researchers have named the bias the “doubling-back aversion.” In several experiments, they found that people often refuse to choose a more efficient solution or route if it requir
