Disney has released a trailer for the Disney Plus exclusive movie Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, and it seems it's following in the grand tradition of Space Jam 2 by being squarely targeted toward the age bracket that remembers the characters from late '80s and early '90s cartoons.

The movie features Andy Samberg voicing Dale and John Mulaney as Chip, alongside a host of other stars like Will Arnett, Keegan-Michael Key, and Seth Rogan. Based on the trailer, the plot is vaguely about them reuniting after a few decades and teaming up to save the world.

Disney does a lot of lampshading in the trailer and in its Twitter post about how this movie totally isn't a reboot — Chip even shouts "nobody wants a reboot!" But while that argument may...

Workers at an Amazon warehouse on Staten Island in New York City will hold an election next month to decide whether to unionize, the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) said Wednesday. Workers at the warehouse, called JFK8, will vote between March 25th and March 30th, according to the ALU, which is representing the workers. The election will be held in person at a tent outside the warehouse, the ALU tweeted.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) did not immediately confirm the dates, but said Wednesday afternoon that the parties "have tentatively reached a stipulated election agreement." A hearing scheduled for Wednesday morning was suspended pending finalization of the tentative agreement, according to an email from NLRB spokesperson Elliott...

The Hummer EV’s battery weighs more than a Honda Civic

Posted: 16 Feb 2022 11:21 AM PST

We always knew that when General Motors decided to resurrect the Hummer brand as an electric truck, we were still going to get something excessively massive, as per its namesake. But I don't think we were adequately prepared for the amount of truck bloat encapsulated in the Hummer EV.

According to test data filed by GM with the Environmental Protection Agency — which was first spotted by Car & Driver — the GMC Hummer EV clocks in at an eye-watering 9,063 lbs. That's several pounds heavier than the 9,046 lbs first reported last summer by enthusiast site GM Trucks.

But that wasn't the number that really floored me. The one that really singed my corneas was 2,923 lbs, which is the total weight of the Hummer EV's battery. That's heavier...

The Steam Deck will now play these breakout hits from PlayStation Vita, Switch, and Xbox

Posted: 16 Feb 2022 11:19 AM PST

Valve's Steam Deck portable game system, launching February 25th, won't necessarily play every Windows game you own — but a brand-new release of Valve's Proton compatibility layer, version 7.0, is making the PC versions of PlayStation Vita hit Persona 4 Golden, Nintendo Switch darling Monster Hunter Rise, and Xbox favorite Forza Horizon 5 playable. Heck, we might even be getting Apex Legends as well.

It's no exaggeration to say that Monster Hunter and Persona were killer apps for the PlayStation Vita, and all three of these games are fantastic titles whose journey to PC we've been following with great interest. (My colleague Jay called Forza Horizon 5 "the perfect portable Xbox game" after using Microsoft's xCloud to stream it to a...

Renewable energy growth in the US lags far behind Biden’s climate ambitions

Renewable energy growth in the US in 2021 fell far short of what's needed to reach climate goals, according to a new report by trade group American Clean Power.

The US installed close to 28 gigawatts (GW) of wind, solar, and energy storage capacity last year — which ACP says is less than half of what's needed to reach Joe Biden's goal of a carbon pollution-free power grid by 2035. It's also a 3 percent drop from 2020's record rate of clean energy installations, as the US wind and solar industries trudged through supply chain disruptions, rising commodity prices and shipping costs, and policy uncertainty last year.

Globally, 2021 still managed to set a record for...

Windows 11 is getting new touch gestures, Start menu folders, and much more

Microsoft is bringing new touch gestures, Start menu folders, a redesigned Task Manager, and lots more improvements to Windows 11. A new build of Windows 11 is available to testers today, and it's full of new features that look like they will significantly improve the usability of Windows 11 overall.

The new Start menu folders will allow Windows 11 users to customize the pinned section of the Start menu into folders. You drag an app on top of another to create a folder, and you can rearrange apps within folders and remove them. The ability to rename folders is coming in future test builds, but it's good to see more customization on the Start menu, given Windows 11 launched without many ways to tweak the menu design.

Fake cheating sites are the latest risk for remote students

Remote testing service Honorlock is using fake answer sites to tempt and catch students who try to cheat on online exams, according to a report by The Markup. When a student visits one of these "honeypot" sites during an online test, the site automatically sends data back to the student's remote testing software, indicating that the student is attempting to cheat.

As noted on Honorlock's site, the service is used by over 300 educational institutions, including the University of Maryland, University of Florida, Arizona State University, and the University of Massachusetts Boston. At its core, Honorlock taps into students' webcams during tests and uses AI to alert remote human proctors...

Russian hackers have obtained sensitive defense information technology by targeting US contractors, according to CISA

Russian state-sponsored hackers have been targeting security-cleared US defense contractors for at least two years, according to an alert released Wednesday by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and National Security Agency (NSA).

According to the alert, Russian-backed actors had targeted cleared defense contractors (CDCs) and subcontractors that supported the Department of Defense (DoD) in a range of areas, including weapons and missile development, vehicle and aircraft design, surveillance and reconnaissance, and combat communications systems. Compromised entities include contractors supporting the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Space Force, DoD, and Intelligence programs.

If you, like me, pigged out on one too many chocolates on Valentine's Day and / or chicken wings during Super Bowl Sunday, today's smartwatch deal may help you get back on track with your fitness goals. Right now, Samsung's LTE-outfitted Galaxy Watch 4 is on sale in both size configurations for its lowest prices to date. At the moment, you can pick up the 44mm version at Amazon and Best Buy for $249.99 instead of $329.99 or the 40mm variant for $219.99 (Amazon, Best Buy).

The Galaxy Watch 4 is an excellent Android smartwatch, one that is particularly ideal for those already tapped into the Samsung ecosystem. As we noted in our review last year, the latest Samsung wearable sports a responsive interface and offers greater support for...

Bose now lets you customize the EQ of its QuietComfort 45 headphones

Owners of Bose's QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones can now customize the bass, mid-range, and treble EQ settings to their liking. With a new firmware update released yesterday, the QC45s are no longer stuck on their default, out-of-the-box tuning. You can dial in your preferred settings or choose from a few of Bose's own presets, including bass boost, treble reducer, and so on.

QC45 owners are already comparing the EQ adjustments on Reddit, with many dialing up the bass response a bit. I noted in my review of the otherwise-excellent QC45s that it was disappointing to see them released without EQ customization, so I'm glad the company got around to adding it.

The latest QC45 firmware also "makes it easier to pair with and...
