‘Wednesday’ Showrunner Confirms We’ve Seen the Last of Xavier Thorpe

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-12-10 17:00:46

It turns out that Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) was right to leave Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White) on ‘read’ after he gifted her a cell phone at the end of season one. Better yet, during season two of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, we see her throw the phone into a boiling pot before returning to Nevermore Academy, only to find that Xavier had been transferred to another supernatural school.

Leak Reveals the Workaday Lives of North Korean IT Scammers

Job hunting is a fresh kind of hell. Hours are wasted sifting through open roles, tweaking cover letters, dealing with obtuse recruiters—and that’s all before you get started with potential interviews. Arguably, some of the world’s most prolific job applicants—or at least most persistent—are those of North Korea’s sprawling IT worker schemes. For years, Kim Jong Un’s repressive regime has successfully sent skilled coders abroad where they’re tasked with finding remote work and sending money back

Meta Says Its Comically Large VR Headset Prototype Can Almost Mimic Human Sight

There are a lot of lofty goals in the world of VR, but delivering hyperrealism is among the most elusive. That’s because there are tons of constraints with a realistic, world-rendering face computer: there’s resolution, field of view, power, weight, battery—you name it. But just because obstacles abound doesn’t mean the titans of XR and VR aren’t trying, and when it comes to the ol’ college try, Meta definitely gets an A for effort.
