I accidentally became PureGym’s unofficial Apple Wallet developer

How I accidentally became PureGym's unofficial Apple Wallet developer 47 seconds: A villain origin story ¶ Wednesday, 11:15 AM. I'm at the PureGym entrance doing the universal gym app dance. Phone out, one bar of signal that immediately gives up because apparently the building is wrapped in aluminum foil. Connect to PureGym WiFi. Wait for it to actually connect. Open the app. "Warming up..." The entire feed loads—suggested workouts I'll never do, my "recent" activities from 2024, a motivatio

Expert Tips for Sleeping Comfortably at Night While Pregnant With an Active Baby

We all need quality sleep to function properly during the day, but it gets even more important when you're pregnant. The irony? That's also when sleep gets harder. With a lot of nighttime activity in the womb, you can get less sleep at a time when you need more sleep. A recent Reddit thread also shows many moms-to-be experiencing the same, leading to more fatigue during the day. I spoke to several experts to see why this tends to be a common experience among expectant parents, and they shared so

ChatGPT's new subscription costs less than $5, but it's not for everyone

OpenAI has begun updating its pricing page to include a new plan called 'ChatGPT Go.' It costs 399 INR (Indian Rupee) or roughly $4.55, but there’s a catch. The GPT Go plan will be limited to certain regions, likely developing countries like India. It’s unclear if OpenAI will expand the low-cost subscription to other regions, including the United States. The ChatGPT web app warns that the Go plan is "Only available in certain regions" at ₹399 INR/month, with everything in Free. But it also of

Warner Bros. Wants a ‘Weapons’ Prequel About That Character

Weapons hasn’t been in theaters a week, but the studio already wants more. The Hollywood Reporter says it has talked to writer-director Zach Cregger about doing some sort of prequel centering on Aunt Gladys, a crucial, instantly iconic character in the film played by Amy Madigan. Cregger revealed to io9 recently that he had, at one point, written a chapter centered on Gladys, but eventually cut it. “In an earlier draft of the script I had given her her own chapter,” Cregger told io9. “It was a

How to turn off headphone volume limit warnings on iPhone and iPad

Hearing health is incredibly important, and gentle reminders from Apple to keep that in mind can be helpful. However, if you’re just tired of seeing headphone volume limit warnings, there’s actually a way to turn those off. iOS and iPadOS track headphone audio exposure over a rolling seven-day period. If the system detects that you’ve exceeded safe listening levels (based on guidelines from the World Health Organization), you’ll get a notification urging you to lower your volume. How to turn o

Oura rolls out new features for pregnancy and perimenopause

One downside to a fitness trackers is that they’re rarely able to understand the context in which their users live. It’s an issue Oura is looking to remedy by launching two sets of features intended to help people during pregnancy and when they reach perimenopause. Given both processes are liable to take a toll, causing physical, mental and emotional changes, having a smart ring that understands what’s going on is vital.

The Ending of ‘Weapons’ Is Very Personal to Zach Cregger

You can’t watch a movie like Weapons and not sense that parts of it come from deep within a person. The portrayals of family, fear, and loss—it’s all heartbreaking and scary even before you get to the chills and thrills. Writer-director Zach Cregger fully admits the film was written as a way for him to cope with the loss of a good friend, but his personal connections to the material go even beyond that. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Cregger talked about some of the big reveals in the final act of th

Zach Cregger’s ‘Resident Evil’ Movie Approach Sounds Familiar

In the lead up to his newest film Weapons, we learned writer/director Zach Cregger would tackle Resident Evil for his next project. In the months since, he’s been vague about what to expect from the film, and his newest teases are slightly more concrete in terms of telling us his game plan for Capcom’s zombie franchise. Talking to Inverse, Cregger called himself “the biggest worshipper of the games, so I’m telling a story that’s a love letter to the games and follows the rules of the games.” No

A Simple CPU on the Game of Life (2021)

A Simple CPU on the Game of Life - Part 4 by Nicholas Carlini 2021-12-30 This is the fourth article in a series of posts that I've been making on creating digital logic gates in the game of life. The first, couple of articles started out with how to create digital logic gates and use them in order to construct simple circuits. In this post we're going to actually build a first real computer: a (2-stage pipelined) unlimited register machine. And later on ([5]) we'll make an even better computer

Zach Cregger’s Dream DC Movie Would Take After a Great ‘Batman’ Episode

Zach Cregger’s got Weapons out this weekend, but the man apparently never stops working. Not only is he working on a new Resident Evil movie, but he’s also cooked up an idea for DC Studios that we now know a little bit more about. According to the Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter, Cregger’s DC movie is currently known as Henchman. The pitch? The trade’s sources say a low-level goon in Gotham City manages to take down Batman thanks to “a stroke of luck,” after which he becomes the tal

Donald Trump Orders Crackdown on Politically Motivated ‘Debanking’

US President Donald Trump has ordered regulators to investigate the alleged refusal among US banks to supply accounts to customers on the basis of their political or religious beliefs. In an executive order signed Thursday, Trump accused federal banking regulators of presiding over an unlawful discrimination campaign under the guise of risk management, echoing allegations leveled previously by members of conservative groups and the cryptocurrency sector. “Bank regulators have used supervisory

Solar-Powered Device Turns Moon Dirt Into Bricks, a Potential Breakthrough in Lunar Construction

Both the U.S. and China have set their sights on the Moon, aiming to break ground on permanent lunar bases within the next decade. Though there’s no legal basis for claiming territory in space, whichever country gets there first will gain a coveted first-mover advantage, allowing it to set certain ground rules about who can do what, where. But getting there first is only half the battle. Actually establishing a sustained lunar presence presents significant logistical and engineering challenges.

Weapons turns our deepest anxieties into a potent horror masterpiece

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. Zach Cregger’s first major film Barbarian was tense and frightening, but it was also infused with a healthy dose of absurdity. The movie’s twisted sense of humor made it easier to stomach its grotesque violence and a bit more difficult to anticipate how its unhinged story would unfold. But Barbarian also worked surprisingly well as a

Welcome to Regulator

You’ll often see tech policy reporting described as the intersection of technology and politics, and for years, that was a pretty accurate description: Silicon Valley existed independent of Washington politics, and every so often, they’d cross paths, discuss some regulatory concern, write a check, shake hands, and then go their separate ways. This is no longer the case. Tech and politics have violently crashed into each other, and the leaders from both sides are locked in an existential fight t

These Behind-the-Scenes Emails From Tesla Meekly Begging the State of California to Allow Its Horrible Robotaxis Are Unintentionally Hilarious

Email exchanges between Tesla and California regulators obtained by Politico reveal a comical discrepancy between what Elon Musk is saying his Robotaxi services can do publicly, and what the automaker is actually telling authorities behind closed doors. This week, Tesla launched a ride-hailing service in San Francisco, in what is being framed as an expansion of its Robotaxi efforts that started as an invite-only program in Austin, Texas last month, where it immediately began charging customers

Zach Cregger Breaks Down the Year’s Most Twisted, Surprising Horror Movie

Writing and directing a breakout hit can be both a blessing and a curse for some filmmakers. On the one hand, you’ve just achieved your dreams of success and adoration in the world of cinema. Well done. On the other hand, now you have to do it again. And again. And again. Some filmmakers fail at this. Others, especially the great ones, rise to the challenge. George Lucas followed THX 1138 with American Graffiti and Star Wars. Steven Spielberg followed Duel with Sugarland Express and Jaws. Fast f

Apple confirms iPhone rebound in China, says upgraders hit record high

Following recent market reports that suggested iPhone sales were bouncing back in China, Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed today that the company managed to reverse the slowdown, with overall revenue in the region rising 4% last quarter. Apple’s joining of government-backed subsidies in China paid off During Apple’s Q3 2025 earnings call today, Cook said iPhone sales accelerated across Greater China, with the company growing revenue in the region by 4% compared to the previous quarter.

Donald Trump’s New Crypto Bible Is Everything the Industry Ever Wanted

The White House has laid out its plan to usher in a “new American Golden Age,” with cryptocurrency at its center. In a 160-page report published Wednesday, White House representatives outlined a series of recommendations to federal government officials as they set about building a legal framework and regulatory ruleset for companies handling crypto assets in the US. If put into action by lawmakers and regulators, the recommendations would effectively gift the crypto industry—which spent hundre

Hibernation’s Hidden Healing ‘Superpowers’ Could Be Locked in Our DNA

After spending months without eating, drinking, or moving, hibernating mammals must rebound from extreme physiological changes. Two new studies suggest that the genetic “superpowers” underlying this incredible resilience may also be present in the human genome. For these studies, published Thursday, July 31, in the journal Science, researchers at the University of Utah honed in on the specific DNA regions that help hibernators rapidly recover from muscle atrophy, insulin resistance, and brain d

Benchmarks in CI: Escaping the Cloud Chaos

Creating a performance gate in a CI environment, preventing significant performance regressions from being deployed has been a long-standing goal of dozens of software teams. But measuring in hosted CI runners is a particularly challenging task, mostly because of noisy neighbors leaking through virtualization layers. Still, it's worth the effort. Performance regressions are harder to catch and more expensive to fix the longer they go unnoticed. Mostly because: Catching issues in production is

Coverage.py Regex Pragmas

Coverage.py uses regexes to define pragma syntax. This is surprisingly powerful. Coverage.py lets you indicate code to exclude from measurement by adding comments to your Python files. But coverage implements them differently than other similar tools. Rather than having fixed syntax for these comments, they are defined using regexes that you can change or add to. This has been surprisingly powerful. The basic behavior: coverage finds lines in your source files that match the regexes. These lin
