‘The Odyssey’ Sold Tickets a Year in Advance and Things Got Crazy

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-23 14:00:18

The Odyssey tells the story of one man’s long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the journey to Christopher Nolan’s adaptation won’t be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites. Surely, no one would sell tickets for a movie a year in advance, right? Only that’s exactly what happened. And it

Call of Duty cheaters complain after Activision launches new wave of mass-bans

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2025-07-24 14:59:19

Several players of the popular first-person shooter Call of Duty complained last week that they were permanently banned from the game for using a well-known cheat. Video game streamer ItsHapa wrote on X last week that Call of Duty players using ArtificialAiming, a cheat provider of more than 19 years, were the targets of a “massive wave of permabans,” referring to bans that cannot be reversed, which prevents cheaters from creating new accounts.

Uranus Leaks More Heat Than We Thought

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-07-27 22:25:45

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the spacecraft detected a surprisingly low level of internal heat from the planet. Since then, scientists believed Uranus to be the odd one out in our solar system’s family of giant planets—the others being Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune—who all tend to emit more heat than they absorb from sunlight. Now, a new study suggests that scientists may have had the wrong idea about Voyager 2’s data: Uranus does have an internal heat source similar to its planetary

Want to be Seated for ‘The Odyssey?’ Some Showtimes Are Out Over a Year in Advance

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opens in theaters one year from this Thursday—on July 17, 2026—and something big might be coming to celebrate. Showtimes (just showtimes, not a way to actually buy tickets) for select IMAX 70mm screenings of the film have begun to show up on ticketing websites, which is odd because a) It’s over a year in advance, b) Nolan is still making the movie, which means c) there isn’t a locked-in runtime yet.

You know the drill -- it's important to stay hydrated always, but especially in the summer heat. However, that message was taken to another level when the National Weather Service in Las Vegas advised residents across parts of Nevada, Arizona and California to avoid caffeine during extreme heat. The logic is that caffeine may speed up dehydration, which increases your risk for heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. The NWS advisory soon made headlines.

For the first time, solar was the largest source of electricity in the EU last month, supplying a record 22 percent of the bloc’s power.
