I'm calling it — this is the most important episode of the season thus far. Find out why!

Don't let their appearance fool you: these Toy Block USB Drives combine all the charm of your favorite childhood building blocks with the handiness of a portable hard drive for working adults.

Every time a new platform comes out, the gadget world runs headfirst into a vicious Catch-22: How do you get people to adopt new technology when there isn't any content, and if there isn't anyone using the tech, how do you convince developers to make content for that platform? Recently, we've seen this situation unfold for VR headsets like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

If you go out to the movies these days with your friends or family, you can barely watch one without breaking the bank. At home, you can binge as many as you want — on your big TV, in your comfy clothes.

Here's what you need to make that happen.

An intriguing video appeared on the Chinese social network Weibo today. It shows a man wearing one rubber glove feeding an Apple-branded device into a machine and then touching the Apple logo with his ungloved index finger. When he does, code scampers across a display at his work station. Is this our first peek at the new TouchID sensor on the iPhone? I don't know. Do I want this mystery device that might not even exist? Yep.

"Real question: does anyone I know clean their underwear in a kettle when travelling?"

Scrolling through social media this morning, these 14 words, in one foul swoop, ruined every relaxing cup of tea I've ever had in a hotel room.

My mind was racing. Who would do this? Why?

And is it really as gross as it sounds? I reached out to some experts on the matter to find out if the simple fact the underwear is literally boiling means this actually a safe thing to do, or nah.

Video: Can batteries power the world?

Here's a quick explanation of the physical and chemical limitations to electrolytic batteries, and how we might surpass the energy density and specific energy of lithium-ion batteries - like the Panasonic 18650 batteries used in the Tesla Model S, for example.

At last, the Joker is getting his own movie. It will star a yet-to-be-cast actor, good news for anyone who was turned off by Jared Leto's interpretation of the character in Suicide Squad. And it will be an origin story that pays stylistic homage to 1980s Martin Scorsese films — with the legendary director himself producing.

All stories about dogs should be Good Stories, which is why the situation in Taloja, India is especially heartbreaking. Recently, photos and videos of blue pooches in the industrial town have cropped up online, raising the obvious question: What the hell happened?

Stranger Things season two won't arrive on Netflix for a few months, but the show's creators have already begun looking at its end game.

It is the most common way in the world to connect an external device to your computer, and now Australian research shows the humble USB is actually super vulnerable to information "leakage" - making them far less secure than we thought.

An iconic Spider-Man adversary could appear in a weird way in Silver and Black. Charlie Cox discusses the comic book influences behind Daredevil's third season. The Hellboy reboot is close to recruiting another member of its supernatural cop squad. Plus, new clips from Killyjoys, and more Inhumans posters. Spoilers now!

Video: Finally — after weeks of surreal teasers and yesterday's opening-credits reveal, which actually revealed nothing — we have a real trailer for American Horror Story: Cult. Sarah Paulson's bloodcurdling shriek upon realising that Donald Trump has been elected president is truly terrifying. And relatable.

Video: Well, this feels like a weird fever dream of the best possible kind. Michael Bolton (seriously) calls on a bunch of friends to give recent TV shows a retro-styled intro.

Stranger Things, Handmaid's Tale and of, course Game Of Thrones, from the man himself.

Axon (the company formerly known as Taser) claims that their stun guns have only directly killed 24 people, and that those deaths were due to falls or fires related to the strikes, not because of shocks to the body. But a new investigative report by Reuters found 1005 cases in the United States where a person died after police used the weapon on them.

Video: Those flying cars you wanted? They're coming in 2049, with guns and missiles and drones. Too bad the world will have gone to hell by then...

Flying is terrible these days. It flat-out sucks. From ballooning lines to get through security procedures that mostly don't work, to random fees and seats so small analysts believe they may be safety hazards, it really just isn't a pleasant way to spend your time.
