Since its inception, Apple TV Plus has felt like an undiscovered gem. That's not to say that the streamer doesn't have hits. Obviously, there are titles like Severance, Ted Lasso and Seth Rogen's new Emmy-nominated comedy The Studio that all deserve your attention. But outside of those three shows, it still feels like most people are uninformed about the epic content library on Apple's streaming platform. Sci-fi fans, I put together a separate list of the streamer's best sci-fi offerings. If yo

Is Roblox Getting Worse?

wired.com David Gilbert 2026-01-03 06:00:00

Roblox can’t keep up. After years of criticism that its platform isn’t safe for the young gamers it caters to, the multibillion-dollar company announced in July that it was rolling out new measures to protect users, including an AI-powered age-verification system and other privacy tools. But researchers, experts, and lawyers have concerns the changes won’t stop Roblox’s bigger problem: staying ahead of individuals using the platform to exploit players.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the next-gen Apple Vision Pro will come with the upcoming M5 chip and not the current M4. Not so fast, however, says the source of the M4-powered Apple Vision Pro. Mark Gurman responded to the apparent code leak that referenced a variety of unannounced Apple hardware, including the next Apple Vision Pro. It was Ming-Chi Kuo who claimed Apple Vision Pro 2 would be powered by the M5 chip and support Apple Intelligence. That was September 2024. Apple added

The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin

An interviewer once asked James Baldwin if he’d ever write something without a message. “No writer who ever lived,” Baldwin said, “could have written a line without a message.” This is true. People write because they have something to say. Baldwin had something to say, and he spent his life saying it. But many who thought they got his message didn’t get it at all. Baldwin was high-strung and emotionally labile. He wasn’t exactly charismatic—there was a strangeness about him which he did nothing
