| Disney's New Encanto Trailer Is Pure, Heartfelt Chaos Posted: 29 Sep 2021 07:30 AM PDT  When we got our last look at Disney's upcoming movie Encanto, we met the Madrigals, the magical house that gave the intergenerational Colombian family their unique superpowers, and Mirabel (Brooklyn 99's Stephanie Beatriz), the lone Madrigal member who never received a gift. It looked great, but somewhat… |

| I Miss the Dial-Up Modem Sound Posted: 29 Sep 2021 07:02 AM PDT  If you were born after wifi, the dial-up modem noise is what electronics used to sound like: dated, from the era of the fax machine and the non-customizable ringtone. To me, it's more than that. The sound symbolizes the limits of what whole generations had agreed was basically tolerable to get online. |

| Leaked Docs Reveal Amazon's Astro Robot Is an Invasive Spy and Incredibly Stupid Posted: 28 Sep 2021 06:55 PM PDT  Amazon has a new robot—a sly little cyber-pet called "Astro" who is supposed to be a goofy domestic helper reminiscent of R2D2 but is, in reality, both a privacy nightmare and a dysfunctional mess. |
| No Time To Die Is the Most Emotional James Bond Film Ever Posted: 28 Sep 2021 05:30 PM PDT  No Time to Die, the 25th James Bond movie, almost feels like 25 movies in one. So much happens in its complex story—filled with so many sprawling, varied set pieces—that by the time you get to the end, the events of the beginning feel like they happened 18 months ago. Which, if you remember, they were supposed to.… |
| How Apple AirTags Could Get You Hacked Posted: 28 Sep 2021 04:16 PM PDT  AirTags, Apple's Bluetooth-powered item trackers, were designed with good intentions: They're useful for attaching to important things like keys and luggage to help you find them if they get lost. However, said devices also apparently come with a small design flaw—one that could allow an unscrupulous individual to… |
| Archer Will Get a Lucky 13th Season Posted: 28 Sep 2021 03:40 PM PDT  A three-year coma couldn't kill Sterling Archer—or his namesake animated series. FXX has just ordered up an eight-episode 13th season of Archer, which will air next year and will presumably see the gang continue to carry on with top-secret spy missions, international intrigue, dirty jokes, and snarky-as-hell humor...… |

| Google Says It's Bing's Most Popular Search Term Posted: 28 Sep 2021 03:00 PM PDT  It's getting harder and harder for Google to pretend it's not the anticompetitive bully we all know it to be. Case in point: as part of the company's ongoing battle to fend off the largest antitrust fine ever imposed by the European Union, the company argued in an EU court on Tuesday that it's... the most-searched-for… |
| Watch a Rare Warhammer Model Become the Most Expensive in the World Posted: 28 Sep 2021 02:50 PM PDT  Warhammer is an expensive hobby and has been for a very long time. Grabbing yourself a viable force of Games Workshop's tabletop miniatures—whether it's in Age of Sigmar's fantasy or 40K's far future flavors—can cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars, even before all the kit to build, paint, carry, and play with it.… |
| Why Rideshares Suck, According to Science Posted: 28 Sep 2021 02:30 PM PDT  Rideshare companies' big pitch has always been about efficiency. Cities, the argument goes, would reap the benefits of fewer cars on the roads. Fewer greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution along with less congestion, the rare triple win. |

| George Lucas Is a Star Wars Toy (Again) Posted: 28 Sep 2021 01:30 PM PDT  George Lucas has joined the Galactic Empire. It's tragic, but it must be true, since he's the newest figure in Hasbro's beloved Star Wars: The Black Series toyline, sporting Stormtrooper armor and a E-11 Blaster Rifle, the standard-issue weapon for the Emperor's soldiers. I doubt this turn to the Dark Side will… |

The CEO of Microsoft does, and he'd prefer that you recall it as a zany little corporate adventure instead. |
| The Walking Dead Goes Behind-the-Scenes of Last Episode's Feral Goofballs Posted: 28 Sep 2021 11:50 AM PDT  This past Sunday, a new terror arose in the world of The Walking Dead. Well, I guess "arose" isn't the right word—a new terror scuttled across the floor on all fours in the world of The Walking Dead when poor Connie (Lauren Ridloff) and Virgil (Kevin Carroll) found themselves trapped in a spooky, run-down house full… |
