Netflix's Near-Perfect Thriller With 94% Rotten Tomatoes Score Is Getting Cut From Streaming
The End of the F***ing World is among the best in this genre. Based on Charles Forsman’s minicomics, the eight-part miniseries follows James (Alex Lawther), a teen who thinks he is a psychopath, and Alyssa (Jessica Barden), who considers James a welcome distraction from her tumultuous home life.
7 Near-Perfect Prime Video Sci-Fi Shows that Hook You in the First Scene
Prime Video is home to sci-fi shows of great variety, but some of the best ones capture our attention from the get-go. When a premise is solid and well-thought-out, the first episode often becomes a promising indicator for the rest of the story. With that in mind, here are seven near-perfect Prime Video sci-fi shows that hook you right from the first scene.
Voyager 1 probe to hit historic one light-day distance from Earth in 17 days — 49-year-old spacecraft travels 16 billion miles
The Voyager 1 spacecraft, which was designed for a five-year mission to observe Jupiter and Saturn, is about to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth after nearly 50 years in flight. According to NASA , the space probe will get to that marker on Nov. 18, 2026, at 5:16:07 a.m. EST, making it the most distant artificial object in history. The agency has now posted a countdown clock to mark the historic moment…
Three Xbox Games Are Shutting Down Their Servers In November & December 2026
A few notable delistings on the way as well. November has officially arrived, and therefore we thought we'd bring you our latest roundup of games getting delisted over the next few weeks, with this roundup specifically focusing on November and December 2026. The good news is that there's not much to talk about! Call of Duty: Warzone is undoubtedly the most notable of the bunch here, which has been set to go offline…
YouTube’s redesign brings one annoying change, but I found a workaround
YouTube is going all in on Custom Feeds , with a big home screen redesign that’s equal parts confusing and infuriating. In the process of creating prompt-based, short-lived suggestion feeds, we’ve lost our dear friend, the Subscriptions tab. Instead, we now see the “Subs” section at the top of the Home page. As someone who uses YouTube as their preferred binge-watching platform, relying on a curated list of only the…
USAF successfully tests dropping SpaceX Starfall cargo drop pods from space — 2,200-pound capsule drops military supplies in the Pacific to test StarCraft-like supply drops
The Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), the research and development arm of the US Air Force, has successfully tested Rocket Cargo capabilities, which would allow military units to resupply via cargo pods dropped from space. According to the AFRL’s X post, the cargo pods, which were onboard a SpaceX Starfall capsule, launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as part of the Bandwagon-5 “rideshare” mission…
Google wants video AI to understand what people need as they work
A Google-led research team built StreamVibe, a video agent designed to watch people cook or assemble furniture and speak up only when help is needed. A benchmark shows that none of the tested models reliably pick the right moment in longer videos, as errors compound and response quality drops sharply. The article Google wants video AI to understand what people need as they work appeared first on The Decoder .
The Pixel 11 Pro’s 5x zoom portrait mode is mind-blowing, and you have to try it
Telephoto cameras on our phones are played out, right? After all, there’s one on the back of most big-name flagship phones, and we’ve been spoiled with 3x, 5x, and even 10x optical zooms for a while. You can even buy teleconverter kits for some phones to extend the zoom range even further. Equally, portrait modes are just as common and a feature we probably all take for granted. The Google Pixel 11 Pro has done…
6 Perfect 'Peanuts' Comics from the 1960s that Prove Charles Schulz is a Genius
By the 1960s, Schulz hit his sweet spot with well-defined characters and a freshness to the material which would sometimes flag in the decades to come. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of hilarious, heartwarming, and inspired Peanuts comics from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, but taken as a whole, nothing tops 1960s Peanuts .
College student unofficially breaks world record for fastest jet-powered drone with 491 mph aircraft built in his dorm — Reaper aims to grab the $800,000 Boom Prize
A new 'Reaper' jet-powered drone project just unofficially broke the previous drone speed world record of 465 mph by hitting 491 mph. Tomas Salvo is an aerospace engineering student at Georgia Tech, and his project was assembled in his dorm room. The drone is comprised of a custom-molded carbon fiber shell, laser-cut internal structure, and a 250N jet engine with a titanium 3D-printed nozzle, costing $13,000 to…
INIU Outdoor Rugged 20000 power bank — Heavy-duty power for phones, drones, and laptops
Credit: INIU Outdoor Though charging is hard to come by during multi-day hikes or long weekend camping trips, the electronics you carry can still add up quickly. Your phone handles maps and photos, a smartwatch tracks your mileage, and your e-reader gets you through a quiet evening in the tent. Add an action or DSLR camera, a drone, or a laptop, and most power banks will run dry before you head home. And the ones…
Should you repair your phone or replace it? We did the math
The new Apple iPhone Duo has done much more than give fire to the conversation around foldable phones. It has also stirred up the conversation around repair costs — with its display replacement costing as much as a new iPhone 18 Pro — and how far we can reasonably take them, with ever-increasing smartphone prices. There is a threshold up until which repairing your phone makes sense, but beyond a point, it’s wiser to…
Chatbots Are Leading Hikers Astray, With Dangerous Consequences
Outsourcing planning to AI can lead people to surrender their own critical thinking, which can have potentially deadly results in places like the backcountry.

Here are the easiest ways to share your live location on Android
There are a variety of reasons you might want to share your live location with a contact on your Android phone . Maybe you’re meeting up in a crowded area with few visual landmarks. Maybe someone wants to track your journey home to see that you arrive safely. Or you might be on your way to visit someone, and you want them to see your progress as it happens. Whatever the reason, there are a few ways to share your…
Welcome to the New Era of Video Game Adaptations
Buckle up, because that trend is about to kick into full gear. This week, we got a flood of news stories confirming that Hollywood is in a full-on gold rush. The film rights to video games are currently getting snapped up at an alarming rate. While that’s not exactly new for an industry that has a long history of eyeing game movies that never pass the scripting phase, we’re actually seeing significant developments…
Yoshida’s Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold Delay Throws It Into the Busiest Month of Early 2027, Launching the Same Day as Fable
Square Enix has delayed Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold from its original January 2027 release window to February 23, 2027, and that new date puts the MMORPG's sixth expansion right in the middle of what's shaping up to be one of the most crowded months for game releases in recent memory. Just look at the stiff competition: February 2027 opens with Metro 2039 on February 4, then Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis arrives…
OpenAI's upcoming chat-and-work merger in ChatGPT signals the end of all-you-can-prompt pricing
OpenAI combines the Chat and Work modes into a single interface. Starting in December, Plus, Pro, and Business plans will share a common, token-based quota for ChatGPT and Codex. More complex models consume more of this quota, while simple instant chats do not count toward it. In practice, this is likely to result in a decline in ChatGPT’s quality for heavy users on lower-cost plans. The article OpenAI's upcoming…
20 Years Later, The Departed's Best Line Is Still One Of The Greatest Quotes In Gangster Movie History
In crime cinema, a lethal line of dialogue can carry just as much weight as a loaded gun. Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas hooks audiences with Henry Hill's seductive declaration, “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster,” framing a life of crime as the ultimate aspiration. Miller's Crossing features Tom Reagan's wonderfully blunt take on underworld survival, while Casino , Scarface , and The…
Forget Jason Statham, the Best Action Movie of the Last 30 Years Is Back on Netflix
Harrison Ford spent decades making wildly implausible heroes feel like ordinary guys having a terrible day. An archaeologist outrunning a giant boulder? Sure. A space smuggler taking on an evil empire? Absolutely. In Air Force One , he pulls off something that now feels considerably more farfetched: an American president you’d trust with your life.
24 Years Later, the Funniest Lord of the Rings Movie Quote Is Still a Legendary Fantasy Line
Somewhere in Middle-earth, is there a Chili’s that serves orcs? Does an Uruk-hai host greet hungry customers, tell them it’ll be a 20-minute wait, and hand them a menu? Does the kitchen run out of manflesh halfway through the dinner rush? Is halfling served as an appetizer? What precisely is in the Triple Dipper? These are unreasonable questions to ask of an otherwise perfect fantasy epic. Unfortunately, The Lord of…
Ludus Magnatus: Gladiator Manager Simulator Early Access Preview – Shall We Begin?!
Spartacus: Blood and Sand is, simply put, a masterpiece. It's one of my favourite series, with Blood & Sand being one of the best seasons of TV ever put on screen. Gods of the Arena was a great prequel produced while Andy Whitfield was undergoing cancer treatment. Vengeance and War of the Damned may have dipped at times, but I still thoroughly enjoyed them. Since then, anything gladiatorial has caught my eye. I've…
