Nicolas Cage takes on his most challenging role yet: Nicolas Cage

Posted: 14 Dec 2021 09:19 AM PST

Do you ever watch a Nicolas Cage movie and think, "He just wasn't Nick Cage enough for me"? Well, that shouldn't be a problem in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, an upcoming movie in which Cage plays himself.

It's described as an "action-adventure," and the premise is something else:

Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalized version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal). Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (Tiffany Haddish) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones.

WhatsApp can now preview voice messages before sending them

Posted: 14 Dec 2021 09:00 AM PST

WhatsApp has recently released a preview feature for voice messages, letting you check whether your ramblings vaguely make sense before inflicting them on others. The Meta-owned messaging service said that the feature has been slowly rolling out in recent weeks, and that it's now available across all platforms including iOS, Android, web, and desktop.

According to a help page for the feature, the option to preview a voice message appears after you press the stop button to finish a recording. You can then preview it with the triangular play icon, delete it with the trash can icon, or send it with the send button.

They're not mistakes, they're rehearsals. Now you can preview your voice messages before you hit send. p...

Nomad is updating its line of wireless chargers with the latest version of the Base Station Hub. A multi-device charger that can wirelessly charge up to two devices at the same time, plus charge two more devices through its USB ports, the new Base Station Hub now has embedded magnets to help align devices in the right spot on the pad. The new Hub costs $119.95 and is available for purchase starting today.

Aside from the magnets, the new Hub is very similar to Nomad's prior version. It has three charging coils under a leather pad that are each capable of up to 10W charging (iPhones will be limited to 7.5W). On the back of the charger is an 18W USB-C port and a 7.5W USB-A port for other devices. Nomad also sells an attachment that affixes...

Former FCC officials are worried about air safety fears delaying 5G rollout

Posted: 14 Dec 2021 08:49 AM PST

US mobile carriers are delaying their 5G rollout thanks to an ongoing spat between two government agencies, and it doesn't look like the situation will be resolving soon. As reported by Bloomberg News, a group of six former FCC chiefs have sent a letter dated this Monday saying they were "concerned about the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) recent efforts to revisit the FCC's 2020 decision" to open up the C-band to 5G applications.

At heart, the argument is between the federal agencies tasked with regulating airplanes and airwaves: the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The agencies disagree about whether it's safe to allow 5G equipment to operate within a portion of the...

How to use the iPhone’s new App Privacy Report

Posted: 14 Dec 2021 08:43 AM PST

Information is power, and if you're an iPhone user, you can now get more information about how often your apps access your data (for example, your location or your microphone). The App Privacy Report, which became available with iOS 15.2, also lets you know each app's web activity and what domains they attach to.

The feature is off by default, but if your phone has updated to iOS 15.2, it's very simple to turn on:

Go to Settings > Privacy > App Privacy Report (which will be at the bottom of the screen)
Select "Turn On App Privacy Report"

Select App Privacy Report at the bottom of the Privacy screen.

Just turn on the App Privacy Report — and wait.

After that, you can follow the same series...

Toyota’s electric vehicle plans are getting bigger and more expensive

Posted: 14 Dec 2021 08:17 AM PST

Toyota is ramping up its electric vehicle production schedule, vowing to release 30 electric vehicles by 2030 rather than just 15 EVs by 2025, as was previously promised. The Japanese automaker also vowed to sell 3.5 million battery EVs globally by 2030 and to transform Lexus into an EV-only brand by 2035.

The company said it would invest 2 trillion yen ($17.6 billion) in battery vehicle technology, an increase over its previous commitment of 1.5 trillion yen ($13.6 billion).

Toyota was an early pioneer in electrification, helping pave the way for companies like Tesla and others by proving that vehicles with alternative powertrains could be immensely popular. But the company has since fallen far behind its competitors.

The first trailer for Everything Everywhere All At Once reveals what we all want: a Michelle Yeoh multiverse

The title Everything Everywhere All At Once rings true — Michelle Yeoh is, in fact, everywhere all at once in this new film, directed by the Daniels duo, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the same team behind the absurd Swiss Army Man featuring yet another Daniel: Daniel Radcliffe.

In Everything Everywhere All At Once, Yeoh stars as "an exhausted Chinese American woman who can't seem to finish her taxes," but there's obviously a lot more to the film than just that. The trailer opens with Yeoh, aka Evelyn Wang, discussing her finances with an almost unrecognizable Jamie Lee Curtis. Suddenly, she's flung into another universe — via a rolling office chair...

Dell’s Luna laptop concept is all about repairability

Posted: 14 Dec 2021 08:00 AM PST

On Tuesday, Dell announced a new design concept for a laptop that's long lived, easy to take apart and fix, and takes a smaller toll on the climate. It's a collection of ideas that could go a long way toward making the tech giant's products more sustainable — depending on whether, and how, Dell decides to implement them.

Called "Concept Luna," the proof-of-concept laptop dreamed up by Dell's design team has a number of unusual features that are intended to make repair and maintenance easy. No screwdrivers or glue solvents are needed to pry loose a broken keyboard or peel off a cracked screen; both components simply pop free after a pair of keystones holding them in place are removed. The entire system contains far fewer screws than a...
