| Intellect and Romance Over Brute Force and Cynicism Posted: 03 Dec 2021 04:30 PM PST  Some of you may remember the quote "intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism" from Craig Ferguson's outstanding tribute to Doctor Who on the old (and far superior) The Late Late Show. But thinking back—on what is to be my last day running io9—I think it sums up how I've felt about working here for the last… |
| Two Disney Legends Are Tackling an Animated DC Movie Posted: 03 Dec 2021 03:45 PM PST  It's not every day that two of the most famous directors in animation history jump into the world of comic books, but that's about to happen. Directors Ron Clements and John Musker, who made films you may have heard of like Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Moana, are looking to make an animated movie based on the DC… |
| 9 Inventors Who Were Killed by Their Own Inventions Posted: 03 Dec 2021 03:00 PM PST  When most of us think of "inventors," we're probably thinking about folks like the Wright Brothers, Alexander Graham Bell, or Thomas Edison—folks who changed the world by creating something new and lived to tell the tale. What gets talked about less frequently are the folks that aren't so lucky: the people that tried… |
| The Week's Best Toys Are Ready for Battle and Sinister Facial Hair Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:30 PM PST  Welcome back to Toy Aisle, io9's regular round up of the latest and greatest in nerdy toys and merchandise.

| U.S. Opposes Autonomous Weapons Ban, Cites 'What About China' Argument Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:25 PM PST  Diplomats from around the world met in Geneva this week to hammer out agreements on how to manage autonomous weapons systems with many calling for an outright ban of the technology. One country is notably opposed to those agreements: The United States. |
| Huge Jellyfish Is Extremely Rare, Nightmare Fuel Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:15 PM PST This post could go a few ways. I could start by saying, wow, the ocean is incredible. Or perhaps I could start by saying I hope you didn't plan to sleep tonight. That's because the giant phantom jelly captured by Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute is a bit of a Rorschach test, one that can inspire awe and terror… |
| Now You Can Store Private Images in a Locked Google Photos Folder on Any Android Phone Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:05 PM PST  Over the summer, Google introduced the ability for Pixel users to effectively "lock away" photos in a vault to keep them hidden from prying eyes. The featured is called—what else?—Locked Folder, and anything stored there is protected by the device's lock screen passcode. Locked photos won't show up in the Photos grid,… |
| Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:55 PM PST  New research shows that someone has been running hundreds of malicious servers on the Tor network, potentially in an attempt to de-anonymize users and unmask their web activity. As first reported by The Record, the activity would appear to be emanating from one particular user who is persistent, sophisticated, and… |
| Most Dog Breeds Are Super Inbred, Study Finds Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:44 PM PST  New research seems to confirm the idea that many of our cutest purebred pups are also burdened by their genetics. The study determined that most dog breeds have high levels of inbreeding. What's more, this inbreeding can contribute to various health problems and expensive vet bills over time, particularly for larger… |
| Nvidia Asks Biden Admin to Exempt Graphics Cards from Tariffs, but GPU Problems Run Much Deeper Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:40 PM PST  You may have noticed that along with being perpetually out of stock, PC graphics cards are more expensive than ever. This is no coincidence, and it isn't solely caused by the ongoing chip shortage. |
| Fascists Are Already Weaponizing Twitter's New 'Private Media' Rule Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:10 PM PST  Twitter's new rule against posting "private media," such as photographs and videos, depicting other people without their consent is already being exploited by fascists and white supremacists who are taking the opportunity to target anti-extremism researchers and activists. |
| Chucky's Don Mancini on Why Horror's Creepiest Doll Keeps Coming Back Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:00 PM PST  Chucky will be back for more butchery and wisecracks—a second season of the hit SYFY and USA Network horror series starring the killer doll from the Child's Play movies was announced this week. The finale of season one just aired, so there won't be new episodes for awhile, but that didn't stop us from hopping on the… |
