gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-08 21:25:53

We may never get another season of Hannibal, but there’s some comfort to be found in Dust Bunny, Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller‘s feature directorial debut—which just so happens to star Dr. Lecter himself, Mads Mikkelsen. He plays a hired killer who befriends his young neighbor after she loses her family; she believes a monster did it, but he’s got an equally scary, more real-world idea of the culprit. Check out the first trailer for Dust Bunny here: Written and directed by Fuller, Dust Bunny a

China’s Newest Pair of Smart Glasses Are Meta’s Biggest Threat Yet

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-21 14:00:08

It’s official: Alibaba is entering the smart glasses game. After rumors that percolated late last week, Alibaba unveiled its official plans to put out frames that look awfully similar to Meta’s Ray-Bans, but with a few key advantages that could help them blow way past U.S. competition. The smart glasses, called Quark AI, are actually a lot more similar to Meta’s Ray-Bans than I expected. For one, they do not feature a display of any kind and instead focus more on here-and-now features like call

China’s Smart Glasses Are Once Again Going All the Way Off

There are officially too many wild pairs of smart glasses coming out of China to keep track of. First, it was Xiaomi with its Ray-Ban-stomping pair of glasses that can record 45 minutes of consecutive video and boast an 8.5-hour battery life. Then, just last week, a company called Wigain announced a breakthrough in making mass-producible smart glasses with optical waveguide lenses. Those, I might add, also feel very Meta-killing.

I Drank Every Cocktail The International Bartenders Association, or IBA, maintains a list of official cocktails, ones they deem to be “the most requested recipes” at bars all around the world. It’s the closest thing the bartending industry has to a canonical list of cocktails, akin to the American Kennel Club’s registry of dog breeds or a jazz musician’s Real Book of standards.

The fishermen of Puerto Morelos, on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, risk their lives every time they head out to sea to fish or dive for lobsters. Their bounty is dependent on luck, as the weather often makes it impossible to go out, while on other days the hooks they cast come back empty. These workers set out every day to find the best lobsters possible for the affluent vacationers who come to the region, while they and their families, cut off from many of the benefits of tourism development, get by

An Introduction to Tribalism for the Modern World That Has Forgotten It

news.ycombinator.com Sustainable Views 2026-02-17 02:09:28

The Western world lives under the rule of law and holds sacred the institutions that enforce them. We believe in contracts, in due process, and in a system of justice that is fair, at least in theory. But what happens when that system frays? What happens when there is a growing class that is above the law? The unsettling answer is that an older, more brutal set of rules re-emerges. It’s a system of power that has governed humanity for nearly all of its history called tribalism. This is an intro

Out of the Ashes of Comixology, a New Digital Comics Platform Rises
