| Bosch's New Sensor Snitches on Carshare Drivers Who Smoke or Don't Report Accidents Posted: 04 Nov 2021 07:40 AM PDT  Carsharing services give residents of big cities the benefits of occasional car use without the downsides of paying for parking and maintenance.

| 35 Internal Code Words Facebook Uses to Talk About Its Users and Tools Posted: 04 Nov 2021 07:20 AM PDT  One of the most surreal parts of going through the mountain of documents captured from within Facebook's walls by whistleblower Frances Haugen is seeing the words employees use when discussing some of the company's most sensitive products and systems. Many of these names (CORGI! Yoda!) sound deceptively cute, while… |
| Taika Waititi's Next Comic Book Project Is Sci-Fi Masterpiece The Incal Posted: 04 Nov 2021 07:10 AM PDT  As if coming off of Thor: Love and Thunder, a Star Wars movie, showing up in Free Guy, trying to get a Flash Gordon reboot off the ground, and about a zillion other things weren't enough, Taika Waititi has now attached himself to an adaptation of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Jean Giraud's (aka Moebius) sumptuous '80s… |

| Boeing Wins FCC Approval for Satellite Internet Despite SpaceX's Best Attempts Posted: 03 Nov 2021 07:00 PM PDT  SpaceX's Starlink will eventually have more competition in the satellite broadband business—and rural Americans will have more providers to choose from. The FCC on Wednesday gave Boeing the go-ahead to launch its own satellites, which SpaceX complained would cause interference with its network. |
| Gal Gadot Will Shift From DC Hero to Disney Villain in the Live-Action Snow White Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:00 PM PDT  After two Wonder Woman movies (and a third on the way), it's hard to see Gal Gadot as anything but a beaming, benevolent superhero. But she'll be putting her shield and superpowers aside for an equally juicy role with a bit more of a poisonous bite: the Evil Queen in Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Snow White. |
| Lost's Daniel Dae Kim Joins Netflix's Live-Action Avatar: The Last Airbender Posted: 03 Nov 2021 03:40 PM PDT  Netflix's live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender just added some serious TV star power.

| Get Ready for HBO Max and Discovery+ to Become One Mega-Service Posted: 03 Nov 2021 02:15 PM PDT  Months after announcing that WarnerMedia and Discovery will merge into one media behemoth sometime in 2022, executives hinted during an earnings call on Wednesday that it probably makes a lot of financial sense for their flagship streaming services, HBO Max and Discovery+, to combine into one entity, too. |
| Clearview AI Forced to Cease Data Scraping Operations in Australia Posted: 03 Nov 2021 01:58 PM PDT  Clearview AI founder and CEO Hoan Ton-That has previously boasted that his now-notorious facial recognition software relies on a database of over 10 billion images.

| A Very Serious List of Star Wars Characters Matt Smith Could've Been in The Rise of Skywalker Posted: 03 Nov 2021 01:00 PM PDT  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is certainly a movie where a lot of things happened.

Now the actor has spoken out about the role and teased that whoever he was going to play would've had huge… |

| Baldur's Gate 3 Is Helping Me Miss Tabletop D&D a Little Less Posted: 03 Nov 2021 12:10 PM PDT  As I've been able to get back to more physical nerdy hobbies recently, one area I've not quite ventured back into is playing tabletop RPGs in person. This is, in part, because, unlike Warhammer, it's been much easier to play something like Dungeons & Dragons remotely (due to the pandemic or otherwise). But it's also… |
| Newly Approved Weight-Loss Drug Is Selling So Fast That Many People Can't Get It Posted: 03 Nov 2021 12:00 PM PDT  A recently FDA-approved weight loss drug heralded as "game-changing" by some researchers is selling like hotcakes.

The drug's popularity has made it hard to get… |
| Ikea Made Sound-Absorbing Curtains to Broker Peace Between Noisy Roommates Posted: 03 Nov 2021 11:50 AM PDT  Good fences make good neighbors, but putting up a picket fence inside a small apartment to help keep the peace between two roommates just isn't an option. As an alternative, Ikea, which has been all in on smart home devices lately, now sells sound-absorbing curtains, which might actually be its smartest home accessory… |
