Disney has severed ties with Gina Carano, who played Cara Dune on The Mandalorian, the company announced on Wednesday evening.

"Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future," a Lucasfilm spokesperson told The Verge.

Carano has recently come under scrutiny for several posts published on social media, including an anti-Semitic post on her Instagram. Some of the content from Carano's tweets are captured in screenshots, seen below in this tweet. Lucasfilm's spokesperson denounced Carano's social media posts, telling The Verge, "her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable."

HBO's The Last of Us adaptation is set to feature a familiar face: Bella Ramsey, the actor who played the young ruler Lyanna Mormont on Game of Thrones, will star as Ellie in the upcoming TV series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The prestige TV take on Naughty Dog's The Last of Us game has been in the works for a while and has already accrued some impressive talent, with Chernobyl's Craig Mazon attached as a writer and Kantemir Balagov, the director of the indie WWII drama Beanpole, directing the pilot. Neil Druckmann, the creative director behind the game series and co-writer of the television series, confirmed Ellie's casting on Twitter.

NASA chose SpaceX's heavy-lift Falcon Heavy rocket to launch the first two elements of the agency's Lunar Gateway, a planned outpost orbiting the moon. The two Gateway pieces, a propulsion module and astronaut living quarters, were originally designed to launch separately, but NASA picked SpaceX's Falcon Heavy as a one-trip solution for $332 million.

Falcon Heavy, SpaceX's strongest operational rocket, will send both Gateway's Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and its Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) to space as one integrated payload "no earlier than May 2024," NASA said in a statement Tuesday night. NASA originally planned to have the PPE, built by Maxar, and HALO, built by Northrop Grumman, mate in space after launching atop...

Google’s own iOS apps are now literally begging for updates that don’t exist

Google hasn't updated many of its iOS apps in weeks, perhaps to avoid potential criticism from what might be revealed from Apple's new mandatory App Store privacy labels. But now, some of Google's own iOS apps seem to be complaining about the wait: we're now seeing confusing notices inside Gmail, Google Maps and Google Photos saying that the apps are out of date — even though there aren't newer versions of the apps available (via Techmeme editor Spencer Dailey).

To see the notice, you have to be logging into your account — so if you're already logged in, you might not see it. After you type in your email address, you might see this warning message: "You should update this app. The version you're using doesn't include the latest security...

Turns out that Florida water treatment facility left the doors wide open for hackers

By now, you've probably heard the theoretically scary story of how hackers managed to infiltrate the computer systems at a water treatment plant in Oldsmar, Florida and remotely control the chemical levels — but it turns out that description gives the hackers far, far too much credit.

The reality? The water treatment plant itself left off-the-shelf remote control software on these critical computers — and apparently never, ever bothered to change the password.

An official cybersecurity advisory about the incident from the state of Massachusetts (via Ars Technica) explains that the SCADA control system was accessed via TeamViewer, the kind of remote desktop application an IT administrator might roll out to remotely troubleshoot...

Toyota will debut its first mass-market EVs in the US this year

Posted: 10 Feb 2021 03:02 PM PST

Toyota will finally introduce its first mass-market all-electric vehicles in the United States later this year, the world's leading automaker announced Wednesday, though it offered no further details about vehicle type or pricing.

Toyota has previously said it's developing an electric SUV on a new flexible platform that can power multiple EVs, following in the footsteps of Volkswagen, General Motors, and others. The two new EVs will be announced alongside an unspecified Toyota hybrid.

"We continue to be leaders in electrification that began with our pioneering introduction of the Prius nearly 25 years ago," Bob Carter, Toyota North America's executive vice president of sales, said in a statement. "Toyota's new electrified product...

The CDC hopes Harry Potter, Wonder Woman, and Neo can actually convince people to wear masks

Posted: 10 Feb 2021 02:49 PM PST

Wearing a mask is one of the easiest things individual people can do to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is partnering with WarnerMedia in the hopes that fan-favorite characters like Harry Potter, Wonder Woman, the Joker, and Imperator Furiosa can convince people to mask up.

The ad, which was created by a partnership between WarnerMedia, the Ad Council, and the CDC, features a wide variety of WarnerMedia characters from iconic films — but with digitally inserted masks.

Whether it's heroes (like members of the Fellowship of the Ring or the Justice League) or villains (like the Joker doing his iconic stair dance), everyone masks up. Even the murderous clown demon...

Security researcher finds a way to run code on Apple, PayPal, and Microsoft’s systems

Posted: 10 Feb 2021 02:43 PM PST

Security researcher Alex Birsan has found a security vulnerability that allowed him to run code on servers owned by Apple, Microsoft, PayPal, and over 30 other companies (via Bleeping Computer). The exploit is also deviously simple, and it's something that many large software developers will have to figure out how to protect themselves from.

The exploit takes advantage of a relatively simple trick: replacing private packages with public ones. When companies are building programs, they often use open-source code written by other people, so they're not spending time and resources solving a problem that's already solved. For example, I've worked on websites that had to convert text files to webpages in real time. Instead of writing code to...
