The Chinese military has published a new propaganda video on the social media platform Weibo that appears to show Chinese bombers attacking a U.S. military base in Guam. Te video is an unexceptional piece of digital saber-rattling between China and the U.S., but the new video might seem oddly familiar…
Over the course of a 1,770 km road trip, we could have counted anything. Vultures. Thunderclouds. Trees. Instead, we tallied Toyota RAV4s, and 436 midsize SUVs later my brain is wallpaper paste.
Last spring, Logitech released its flagship MX Master 3 mouse, which featured a super smooth scroll wheel that immediately put everything else on the market to shame. And now with the new MX Anywhere 3, Logitech is about to do the same in a smaller and more portable package.
A preliminary study, posted online this week by researchers at the Australian National University and elsewhere, estimates 71,000 Australians had COVID-19 by mid-July — 60,000 more than official number of cases diagnosed by that stage. The study involved testing 2,991 elective surgery patients in ten hospitals across four states, to…
Production of the reality TV show The Masked Singer was shut down last month after several crew members were infected with COVID-19. It’s one of several examples of COVID-19 transmission associated with singing around the world since March, prompting some jurisdictions to ban group singing altogether. In New South Wales,…
The Lotus 72 was a masterpiece of a car. Lotus employed this chassis, albeit with year-on-year updates, for five full seasons of Formula One from 1970 to 1975. It was and remains such a stunning beauty of engineering prowess, and the technical drawing rendered by Giorgio Piola for Italian language…
The recent discovery of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus is exciting, as it may serve as a potential sign of life (among other possible explanations). The researchers, who published their findings in Nature Astronomy, couldn’t really explain how the phosphine got there. They explored all conceivable possibilities, including lightning,…
It’s finally happening. After years and years and years of teases, trailers, Keanu Reeves and more, Cyberpunk 2077 is very nearly here. I mean, it’s been in development since 2012, so there’s a lot of both hope and hype resting on Cyberpunk 2077’s artificially-enhanced shoulders. November 19, 2020 is the key…
The original Galaxy Fold was the most important phone of 2019. It showed how flexible display tech could create a totally new type of device with the portability of a phone and the big screen and improved multitasking experience of a tablet. However, like a lot of first-gen products —…
Conspiracy theories are dangerous enough when they’re paranoid fiction. But they might be even worse when they start coming true.
With retailers royally jumping the gun on PlayStation 5 pre-orders, count yourself lucky if you managed to snag one before they sold out everywhere. Unless you got yours on Amazon. In which case, you might still be screwed.
Today DC Entertainment announced that as of January 21, 2021 DC Universe will “evolve” into DC Universe Infinite, a comics only service. It’s a shame, because DC Universe has lowkey been one of the best streaming services you could drop cash on every month — if you’re a giant nerd…
Part of the allure of Disney parks’ Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge has been that you could only get Galaxy’s Edge merch at Galaxy’s Edge. Soon, that’ll no longer be the case. Gizmodo can exclusively reveal that starting September 28, Disney will put select Galaxy’s Edge merchandise, including those amazing Legacy…
Thomas Goldtooth awoke on Feb. 21 expecting a pretty regular day ahead. And by all accounts, his day was normal. He was on the road by 11 a.m. to catch a flight. But unbeknownst to him, around the same time as he left, U.S. Customs and Border Protection was watching…
I’m glad Archer is back. Like, real Archer, without weird fantasy coma worlds or film noir or whatever. Just spy hijinks, dysfunctional characters, and the slow, painful possibility of growth.
Although the clock is ticking, pardon the pun, TikTok is not going down without a fight.
There’s a new development in the high-profile game of chicken between Apple and Epic. The Fortnite developer’s latest legal filing claims that Apple “cherry-picked” Google data in its own legal filing earlier this week to support its narrative that Fortnite’s declining popularity is the impetus behind all this drama.
The most famous name in American ornithology is that of a slave owner, grave robber, and fraud who invented birds and falsified scientific results. Birders and ornithologists are grappling with John James Audubon’s legacy today, but problematic behaviour doesn’t stop at a single 19th-century naturalist. Some in the field are…
The work of artist Scott Listfield is unmistakable. Not because of his vivid landscapes. Not because of his brash exploration of pop culture and advertising. No, it’s that damned astronaut in the middle that gives it away.
What happens when you have a copy of Crysis: Remastered and Nvidia’s new RTX 3080 graphics card in your possession? You see if the RTX 3080 can run it, naturally. One of my hopes for Crysis: Remastered was that it would be just as punishing on PCs today as it…
Welcome back to Toy Aisle, where our latest adventures into all things shiny and plastic have taken a turn for the spooky. This week, Hasbro summons up an an entire army of Dinobots, Mattel turns its hand to The Rise of Skywalker, and so much more. Check it out!
On Friday, a lawyer representing Julian Assange in his ongoing UK extradition trial testified that she was present when a former Republican congressman visited the WikiLeaks founder in 2017 to dangle a potential pardon from U.S. President Trump in exchange for identifying the source of the leaked documents from the…
When I purchased my first electric toothbrush about a year and a half ago, a Quip, it felt like an outrageous indulgence. Fifty-five dollars seemed far too steep for something so silly, but I wanted to make a long-term investment in healthy teeth, and I was able to justify the…
There’s another entry in the tediously log of tit-for-tat between Apple and Epic. In a press release, Epic says that Apple is no longer letting the company sign games or patches for distribution on Mac computers.
The Flash might still have room for a Cyborg cameo. Scream 5‘s cast continues to expand. Fox gets all artificial intelligence in our latest look at neXt. Plus, what’s to come as The 100 nears its end and a new look at Carmen Sandiego’s third season. To me, my spoilers!
Shortly after Indian automaker Mahindra introduced its off-road-only side-by-side, the Roxor, Jeep filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission. Jeep feels that the Roxor’s CJ-5-inspired looks infringe upon Jeep’s trademarks, so the FCA brand pushed to stop sales of the Mahindra. Mahindra responded by redesigning the Roxor, and…
Sony’s PlayStation Plus Collection will grant shiny new PS5 owners with PS Plus subscriptions a pretty big library of games to play on day one, but there’s still a lot of gold in the PlayStation 4 library that isn’t included.
Get some faster and more affordable storage in your life with our guide to buying the right SSD for your needs. What is an SSD? When SSDs – that’s Solid State Drives for the uninitiated – first burst onto the scene, there were two easy ways to tell them apart…
Dublin’s screen history reflects its real-life contradictions – at once the debased urban counterpart to the “real” Ireland of romantic rolling green hills and dramatic seascapes, and the wellspring of literary modernism, rock music and all-night party culture. If one film best captured how Ireland’s capital imagined itself, it was…
Developments in gene editing are often met with moral panic. Every new announcement raises outrage over the audacity of scientists “playing God”. The existence of mutant mosquitoes and designer babies are often framed as threats – evidence that science fiction has crossed over into real life. There are clear dangers…
Ridley Scott’s sci-fi thriller Raised By Wolves is officially a hit: today, HBO Max announced it’s ordered a second season. The show — about a pair of androids raising human children on an alien planet — distinguishes itself from other sci-fi fare with its striking visuals, and that includes the…
Google Pixel Bud users may have noticed a bit of an annoying with their audio lately. Thanks to a recent update the audio drops out every one minute and 50 seconds. Fortunately, this deeply specific bug is getting a fix. The second generation Pixel Buds have been copping audio issues…
Among the sprawl of properties in the Facebook family, WhatsApp’s perhaps the only one that’s preached preserving user privacy and actually followed through. But that hasn’t stopped bad actors from finding new ways to spy and snoop without the platform’s — or any user’s — say-so.
