The new War of the Worlds movie is even more terrible than you’ve heard but also hilarious

There's a micro-genre of film called "screenlife movies," where all of the action takes place on a desktop computer.

After the backlash to replacing its 4o model with GPT-5, OpenAI will no longer get rid of old models without a heads up.

The best foldable phone you can buy

A foldable phone isn’t for the faint of heart. They’re generally heavier, pricier, and have less capable cameras than a standard slab-style phone.

You really don’t want any dust […] Read more
