New trailers: Castlevania, West Side Story, Sweet Tooth, Luca, and more

Castlevania | Netflix

Just started watching season four of The Handmaid's Tale and I remember why I prefer the weekly release schedule for this show: Bingeing it is utterly draining (Monica Hesse makes this point much more eloquently in her mostly spoiler-free review in the Washington Post). The show has a conundrum: it can't kill off its main character (which would be an incredible plot twist) and it can't take her out of Gilead because that's where the action is. So June has to keep suffering over and over. And over. After the first three episodes, June's done plenty of suffering already. Over the rest of the season I'm really hoping to see A) much more of Alexis Bledel and Samira Wiley and B) something good happen to June. Anything.

Here's the roundup of...

iFixit drilled a key ring hole into one of Apple’s AirTags in its latest teardown

iFixit did a teardown of Apple's AirTags | iFixit

The team over at iFixit has done its teardown thing again, this time examining Apple's AirTag trackers. Part one of its two-part review digs into the guts of the little trackers, and for those lamenting the lack of a key ring loop on the AirTag, iFixit (carefully) drilled a hole into one without damaging any of its parts.

After some reconnaissance inside our first AirTag, we grabbed a 1/16" drill bit and carefully punched a hole through the second tracker in our four-pack—after removing the battery, of course. We miraculously managed to avoid all chips, boards, and antennas, only drilling through plastic and glue. The best part? The AirTag survived the operation like a champ and works as if nothing happened.

The team cautioned that you...

Facebook and Instagram notices in iOS apps tell users tracking helps keep them ‘free of charge’

Posted: 02 May 2021 08:18 AM PDT

Facebook

Facebook is continuing its campaign against Apple's iOS 14 privacy updates, adding a notice within its iOS app telling users the information it collects from other apps and websites can "help keep Facebook free of charge." A similar message was seen on Instagram's iOS app (Facebook is Instagram's parent company).

Technology researcher Ashkan Soltani first noted the new pop-up notices on Saturday (see his tweet below), but a Facebook spokesperson directed The Verge to a blog post from earlier last week that detailed the update. The company refers to the notices as "educational screens," and said they provided "more details about how we use data for personalized ads," according to the blog post by Dan Levy, Facebook's vice president for...

Neuralink President Max Hodak tweeted Saturday that he has left the company he co-founded with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk xxx. Hodak didn't elaborate on why he left the company or elaborate on the circumstance for his departure. "I am no longer at Neuralink (as of a few weeks ago)," he tweeted. "I learned a ton there and remain a huge cheerleader for the company! Onward to new things."

Neuralink is focused on developing brain-machine interfaces. Last month, the company posted a video to YouTube that appeared to show a monkey with...

Are we seeing the return of the closed-door office? I hope not.

So it seems that Google, the exemplar of the open-office concept, is trying now to figure out how to keep its design ideals intact while offering its employees at least some feeling of safety in these 6-foot-apart times. Apparently, these measures may include a number of interesting concepts, such as inflatable walls. (A GIF of one of those walls slowly unfolding nearly had me doing a spit-take with my morning coffee.)

These rather complex measures may have some people wondering whether we should abandon the entire open-office concept and go back to a more old-fashioned — but in these pandemic days, safer — plan of separate offices and high-walled cubicles. To tell you the truth, it doesn't sound like a bad idea. But.

First, let me...

Four astronauts returned from the International Space Station early Sunday morning aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico nearly six months after arriving at the orbital laboratory in November last year as the first operational, long-duration crew under NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Soichi Noguchi boarded Crew Dragon and undocked from the space station on time at 8:35PM ET Saturday to begin their roughly six-hour trek home.

The crew splashed down off the coast of Panama City, Florida at 2:56AM ET on Sunday, marking the first nighttime splashdown of a crewed US spacecraft since December 1968,...

Microsoft explored reducing its Xbox store cut to shake up console gaming

Microsoft had been planning to cut its Xbox store cut to just 12 percent, according to confidential documents filed in the Epic Games vs. Apple case. The software maker details its store fees and changes in a document from January, where it also lists the 12 percent cut to PC games it announced this week. While most of the important parts of the document are redacted, one page reveals Microsoft also wanted to reduce its 30 percent store cut on the Xbox console side.

A table reveals "all games will move to 88 / 12 in CY21," which means Microsoft had been planning a significant cut to Xbox transactions for some point in the 2021 calendar year. While Microsoft has announced its PC cut, which is also listed in the same table, the company has...
