This charging iPad mount turns your car into a mobile movie theater – Kuxiu X97 [Hands-on]

Early last year, Kuxiu released its X33 Pro Max iPad stand. It was the first stand to incorporate pin connectors into a magnetic stand to be able to charge your iPad. It was a fantastic idea. As a stand, it’s built very well, is high quality, does everything you need a stand to do, and gets the job done, but the fact that it also instantly charges the iPad was a game-changer for my setups. But now, they’ve brought the same tech but into your car with a mountable, magnetically charging iPad stand

Anker’s new wireless car charger sticks a big flexible tongue to your dashboard

How to Watch All the ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movies

It's been almost 30 years since Mission: Impossible hit cinemas in 1996 as an adaptation of the 1966 television series of the same name. The Brian De Palma-directed film starring Tom Cruise was a critical success and kickstarted a franchise that remains so successful that MI movies are still being released more than two decades later. When the first movie came out, I was extremely excited to see it and borrowed the VHS tape from a neighbor. Flash-forward to 2000, and I made it my mission to see

Bicycle phone mounts have been a regular part of my life in bike-obsessed Amsterdam ever since 2008, when I got my first phone with built-in GPS and turn-by-turn navigation. I’ve used dozens of mounts since, until they were either lost, broken, or stolen, or something better emerged. I could have saved a ton of money and annoyance had

Trump Expects Paramount to Run Conservative PSAs Following Hush Money Payments

Paramount is learning the hard way why you don’t simply acquiesce to bullies. Earlier this week, the company came to a preliminary settlement agreement with Donald Trump in a case where the President accused the company of deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris in 2024. That settlement (which has been described by some as “bribery” with intent to get Trump to green light Paramount’s attempted merger with Skydance Media) pays Trump $16 million. Trump’s legal team also cl

Paramount Plus slashes prices to $2 for two months

Senator Wants to File Bribery Charges Over Paramount’s Hush Money to Trump

Paramount, the owner of CBS News, announced late Tuesday it had agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal. The lawsuit alleged that “60 Minutes” had edited an interview with Kamala Harris to make it more favorable to her in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, making it one of the most laughably absurd lawsuits Trump has ever filed. But Paramount is forking over millions anyway in what many are calling a transp

Paramount accused of bribery as it settles Trump lawsuit for $16 million

CBS owner Paramount has reached a $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump over his claim that 60 Minutes deceptively manipulated a pre-election interview with Kamala Harris. Trump's lawsuit has been widely described as frivolous, but Paramount seemed motivated to settle because its pending $8.4 billion merger with Skydance needed regulatory approval from the Trump administration. In a statement provided to Ars today, Paramount said it "has reached an agreement in principle to resolve

Paramount pays Trump $16 million to settle Harris lawsuit

Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to settle its lawsuit with Donald Trump filed during the 2020 presidential campaign, according toThe Washington Post. The deal is controversial as legal experts said Paramount had a strong chance of prevailing in court and may have settled to smooth the path for its $2.4 billion Skydance merger. Paramount said the $16 million would be allocated to Trump's future presidential library and not paid to him "directly or indirectly." In addition, it "does not i

Paramount agrees to pay Trump $16 million, clearing way for multibillion-dollar merger

Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to resolve President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against its subsidiary CBS, clearing a path for the administration to approve the media giant’s multibillion-dollar merger with Skydance Media. In a statement seen by CNN on Tuesday night, Paramount said the settlement payment is inclusive of Trump’s legal fees and costs, and that the money will be allocated to his future presidential library instead of being paid to Trump directly. The sum is below the $10 bill

Paramount May Not Be Done With ‘Transformers’ Movies Yet

After 2024’s Transformers One came and went, it’s been a question of whether we’d actually see the Autobots and Decepticons on the big screen. The answer now appears to be “yes,” and not just because Paramount’s still pretending that crossover with G.I. Joe is happening. According to Matt Belloni at Puck News, the studio is spinning up several Transformers movies. One is said to be helmed by One director Josh Cooley, and will be live-action. The other is said to be coming from ex-franchise stew

Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. ”Paramount Plus with Showtime” has always been one of the more awkward bits of branding to come out of the streaming era, but soon subscribers will know the tier by another name. This week Paramount informed Paramount Plus subscribers that Paramount Plus with Showtime — the platform’s most expensive tier that features Showtime progra

Asus ROG Azoth X Review: A Space-Age Gaming Keyboard

A lot of mechanical keyboards struggle with aesthetics. It’s hard to get right! If the styling is overdone, you might inhibit functionality or just have too much going on visually. If you stick to the basics, you might end up with a bland keyboard. Whichever way you go, there’s still a chance you’ll get it wrong and have something that doesn’t look good. But there’s been an influx of really well-designed keyboards of late: Keychron’s K2 HE Special Edition is a great example, along with the Mcho

This Ethiopian Volcano Just Burped a Staggering Amount of Methane

There’s something odd happening under an Ethiopian national park. Volcanic and seismic activity were on the rise under a volcano named Mount Fentale, but the gas that began spouting out of the ground wasn’t what you’d expect from an impending eruption. Canadian greenhouse gas monitoring company GHGSat said in early February that the amount of methane being emitted from Mount Fentale is “substantial.” When GHGSat began measuring the emissions on January 31, they found that the volcano was spewin
