‘The Muppet Show’ Is Getting a 50th Anniversary Disney+ Special

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-18 19:25:08

After a pair of pilots made in 1974 and 1975, The Muppet Show officially hit the airwaves in 1976—which means 2026 marks an important milestone for Kermit the Frog and his pals. To celebrate the big 50th anniversary, Disney+ will air a one-off special in the much-loved variety show format, with pop star Sabrina Carpenter as a featured guest. In addition, the Hollywood Reporter writes that there’s the potential for the special to turn into a “backdoor pilot” for a future Muppet Show revival. Th

‘The Strangers: Chapter 2’ Opening Is a Game of Hide and Seek

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-25 05:50:15

You may not know it, but we’re a few weeks out from The Strangers: Chapter 2. To help drum up interest for the film, Lionsgate’s put out a clip from the first few minutes of the film, which picks up where 2024’s Chapter 1 concluded. Last we left off, Maya (Madelaine Petsch) survived the attack from the titular Strangers that left her boyfriend Ryan dead, and she ended the film recuperating in the hospital. But before she can worry about her health bill, she realizes that she’s not as free of th

How a 2020 Rolex Collection Changed the Face of Watch Design

wired.com Chris Hall 2025-09-25 08:27:39

As the company that either invented or popularized the dive watch, the GMT watch, the first water-resistant watch, the first automatic watches, and much more besides, you could hardly downplay Rolex’s influence on watchmaking history. But while its iconic sports watches, like the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master are endlessly imitated, Rolex is not seen as a trendsetter, preferring to ignore passing horological fashions. It does its own thing, iterating carefully and minimally on its age-old t

New HybridPetya ransomware can bypass UEFI Secure Boot

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-26 11:18:07

A recently discovered ransomware strain called HybridPetya can bypass the UEFI Secure Boot feature to install a malicious application on the EFI System Partition. HybridPetya appears inspired by the destructive Petya/NotPetya malware that encrypted computers and prevented Windows from booting in attacks in 2016 and 2017 but did not provide a recovery option. Researchers at cybersecurity company ESET found a sample of HybridPetya on VirusTotal. They note that this may be a research project, a p

Nissan Leaf 2026 Review: Superb Steering, Competitive Pricing

wired.com John Voelcker 2025-09-26 09:00:00

Nissan quotes 160 kilowatts (214 horsepower) and 252 pound-feet of torque for the single motor that drives the front wheels. Acceleration is adequate in the standard drive mode, with Sport providing a bit more boost, enough to spin an inside front wheel in turns when pressed. The Eco mode was underwhelming, and while there’s a Personal mode to tweak your own combination of settings, we’d be shocked if anyone ever uses it. Nissan offers four levels of regenerative braking, controlled via paddle

Take a Trip to the Final Frontier With This Year’s Best Astronomy Photography

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-26 15:00:23

When a comet meets solar winds, its nuclear coma—a bright cloud of gas around its core—reacts vibrantly to our Sun’s solar maximum, leaving a trail of stellar gas and dust across the solar system. Miraculously, the sky above June Lake, California, cleared up for a full 13 minutes for photographer Dan Bartlett to image the comet clearly enough for his photograph, “Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks Taking a Final Bow.” With incredible technological advances, the continuous flow of space photos can sometimes

Google gets away almost scot-free in US search antitrust case

What was Judge Amit Mehta thinking? When he ruled a year ago that Google violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by stifling search competition, we thought Google was truly in hot water. Boy, were we wrong! After Mehta’s initial ruling, the Department of Justice (DoJ) demanded that Google divest itself of the Chrome web browser and/or the Android operating system, and also be blocked from exclusive distribution contracts that had placed Google Search as the default on almost all devices and web brow

How Often Should You Vacuum to Get Rid of Microplastics and Other Particulates? (2025)

Global Earth Day published studies that found pets and babies are especially at risk for microplastic exposure from household dust. Both household members stay low to the ground—closer to dust, microplastics, and particulates that are invisible to the naked eye on carpets and floors—and put everything in their mouths, making it easier for them to ingest microplastic dust that could be on those objects.
