| Star Wars: The Acolyte Has Found Its Star in Amandla Stenberg Posted: 08 Dec 2021 06:00 PM PST  Of all the Star Wars shows coming to Disney+, one remains the most mysterious. It's set in a time period most fans don't know and it's not about a preexisting character, at least we think it isn't. What we do now is that the show has its star: Amandla Stenberg. |
| A New Report on VPNs Shows They're Often a Mixed Bag for Privacy Posted: 08 Dec 2021 05:15 PM PST  By now, you've likely heard that virtual private networks protect your privacy. You've probably also heard that they don't actually do that. Who to believe? |
| Apple Won't Have to Make App Store Changes Just Yet Posted: 08 Dec 2021 04:00 PM PST  Apple doesn't need to give app developers the ability to add links to external payment options—or not yet, at least. |
| The Book of Boba Fett's New Trailer Might Have a Hell of an Easter Egg Posted: 08 Dec 2021 04:00 PM PST  Hey, would you like to watch another 60-second trailer for the upcoming Star Wars TV series The Book of Boba Fett, even though it contains almost no new footage? Let me answer that for you: yes, you do, because the operative word there is "almost." |
| The Last of Us' Bill Will Now Be Played by Nick Offerman Posted: 08 Dec 2021 03:00 PM PST  Though The Last of Us follows Joel and Ellie as the pair fight to survive a zombie apocalypse, the story in both the original video game and HBO's upcoming adaptation introduces a variety of other characters with drastically different motivations and outlooks on the rise of the infected. Small as those supporting… |
| DARPA Is Exploring Ways to Wirelessly Charge Drone Swarms Posted: 08 Dec 2021 02:22 PM PST  The Defense Research Intelligence Agency, the gonzo R&D arm of the Pentagon, has had a hand in inventing everything from GPS and speech translation to the early precursors of the internet. (The agency also tried to develop a mechanical elephant to traverse South Vietnam, but who's keeping count). Now the agency is… |
| Sonos Wants to Be Carbon Neutral by 2030, but No Word On Planned Obsolescence Posted: 08 Dec 2021 02:06 PM PST  Sonos on Wednesday announced a new product sustainability program with a lofty carbon neutrality goal for its entire line by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2040. |
| Largest-Ever Flying Animal Jumped 8 Feet Into the Air Before Liftoff Posted: 08 Dec 2021 01:50 PM PST  Quetzalcoatlus, with its 40-foot wingspan, is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary animals to have ever lived. The creature was capable of flight, but how it managed to launch itself into the air has remained a mystery—until now. |
| After Polluting Their Water For Years, Florida Says It Will Start Feeding Starving Manatees Posted: 08 Dec 2021 01:40 PM PST  Florida environmental officials have resorted to feeding West Indian manatees in a last-ditch effort to prevent potentially hundreds of them from starving to death. The reason the gentle ocean mammals are starving in the first place, though, is partly humans' doing, a result of polluted waterways and climate… |
| This $700 Mandalorian Helmet Has Been Years in the Making: Was It Worth the Wait? Posted: 08 Dec 2021 01:30 PM PST  The idea of it was too enticing. Would I like to review a $700 Mandalorian helmet? As a fan of not just Star Wars or The Mandalorian, but Mandalorians in general, I emphatically said "Yes." I'd seen all sorts of Star Wars helmets before: toy ones, collectible ones, and Lego ones, but never a wearable one with such a… |
| Finland's Prime Minister Very Sorry for Going Clubbing Until 4am After Covid-19 Exposure Posted: 08 Dec 2021 01:20 PM PST  The prime minister of Finland has apologized for missing a text notification instructing her to isolate after a potential coronavirus exposure and instead went clubbing until 4:00 a.m., the BBC reported on Wednesday. |
| Don’t Look Up Isn't About Climate Change. It's About Us Posted: 08 Dec 2021 12:55 PM PST  When Don't Look Up's trailer dropped, I was dumbly excited to see it. As a climate person, you don't get too many movies made for you. Having gotten a sneak peek, I can safely say it met expectations and then some. |
| The Best Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror io9 Rewatched in 2021 Posted: 08 Dec 2021 12:45 PM PST  Much like in 2020, we all spent a lot of 2021 taking the time to catch up on old favorites or check out classics we'd missed. Here's the io9 team's picks for the things they've loved revisiting most this year. |
| CIA Director: Duh, Of Course, the CIA Is Into Cryptocurrency Posted: 08 Dec 2021 12:10 PM PST  In a disclosure that should surprise no one, the head honcho at the CIA has confirmed that the intelligence agency has multiple projects related to cryptocurrency. |
| Daredevil Showrunner Steven DeKnight Doesn't Know if the Show's Part of the MCU, Either Posted: 08 Dec 2021 12:00 PM PST  In what can only be attributed to the collective amnesia that the internet chooses to engage in every few months about pop cultural happenings from less than a decade ago, Daredevil season one showrunner Steven DeKnight has waded into the latest round of conversations about whether the Netflix series is "technically"… |
| Ice Age Mammoth and Horse DNA Found in Soil Samples Left in Freezer Posted: 08 Dec 2021 11:21 AM PST  Fieldwork conducted about a decade ago is only now changing researchers' understanding of large mammal extinctions during the Ice Age. An analysis of DNA locked away in frozen soil samples reveals that charismatic species like woolly mammoths and the wild horses of the Yukon stuck around for longer than previously… |
| Hawkeye's Latest Episode Enriched Everything About the Show Posted: 08 Dec 2021 11:00 AM PST  Well, that may have been my favorite episode of Hawkeye yet. No, it wasn't as action-packed as the previous episode, but the relationship between Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) was front and center and that's what this show is all about. There were some ups, some downs, and an exciting… |
| The First Dragons: The Nine Realms Trailer Is Mysterious as Hell Posted: 08 Dec 2021 10:05 AM PST  If you were intrigued by the idea of a How to Train Your Dragons series suddenly brought into the modern world, then you might want to clear out your schedule for the rest of the day. The mysteries introduced in this first trailer for Dragons: The Nine Realms abound, and about the only thing we know for certain is the… |
| Android 12L Beta Is Here to Fix the Biggest Problems with Android Tablets and Foldable Phones Posted: 08 Dec 2021 10:00 AM PST  Android tablets and foldable phones are a step closer to receiving some much-needed improvements. Google today released the first beta for Android 12L, a version of Android designed to improve the software experience on large-screen devices. |
| This Massive Planet Shouldn't Exist Posted: 08 Dec 2021 09:55 AM PST  Scientists have spotted an unusually large exoplanet in orbit around b Centauri, a massive two-star system that is visible to the unaided eye. With a combined weight of roughly 10 Suns, it's now the heaviest star system known to host a planet. |
| The Matrix Revolutions Kind of Made Me Less Excited for Resurrections Posted: 08 Dec 2021 09:45 AM PST  Rewatching The Matrix Revolutions, the reasons why it's regarded so poorly are crystal clear. The story is disjointed, characters don't particularly change, the action scenes feel either completely unnecessary or way too long, and the ending is terrible. Coming after the all-but-perfect original film and flawed but… |
| Amazon Illegally Tricking Customers With Ads in Its Search Results, Complaint to FTC Claims Posted: 08 Dec 2021 09:30 AM PST  If you've made any searches on the Amazon website recently, you might've noticed the top results are consistently cluttered with a growing number of ads featuring products from major brands. You also might not ever know they're there—these so-called "sponsored" listings are virtually indistinguishable from the regular… |
| Canon's New Sensor Captures Full-Color Images in Near Total Darkness Posted: 08 Dec 2021 09:20 AM PST  According to Nikkei Asia, Canon is poised to shake up the digital imaging industry next year with a new sensor capable of capturing full-color images at "one-tenth the brightness conventional sensors need." This could revolutionize autonomous driving and even security systems. |
| Cities Are Turning Airports Into Solar Farms Posted: 08 Dec 2021 09:10 AM PST  When it comes to major climate polluters, it's hard to think of a more striking example than commercial jets burning through gallons of jet fuel as they go screaming down airport runways for takeoff. But those runways—and terminal roofs, parking garages, and open spaces—are increasingly lined with solar panels, making… |
| The Expanse Creators Explain Why Season 6 Is Only 6 Episodes Long Posted: 08 Dec 2021 09:00 AM PST  The final season of The Expanse arrives this Friday, so io9 hopped on a video chat with writers Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham (who co-author The Expanse books as James S.A. Corey) and showrunner Naren Shankar to talk about the show's past, present, and (hopefully?) future. |
