More than one in five of the world's reptile species are threatened with extinction, researchers have determined in a new paper that marks the culmination of more than 20 years of slow-going research. On top of facing human-caused threats to their survival, the scaled creatures have fallen victim to bias in conservation priorities.

Conservationists with limited resources have had to play catch-up in their efforts to assess threats to turtles, crocodiles, lizards, snakes, and tuatara (the last in an ancient lineage of reptiles that roamed the Earth with dinosaurs). Similar comprehensive assessments for birds, mammals, and amphibians (all categorized as tetrapods, or four-limbed vertebrates) were completed over a decade ago.

Why has there...

If Netflix's slate of summer 2022 movies is anything to go by, the streamer is continuing its trend of relying on big-name stars to push its film ambitions. Today, the company released a schedule of movies due to release between May and August, and there's plenty of star power to be found. The list includes the likes of The Gray Man, a thriller directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, which stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans; Spiderhead, a sci-fi film led by Chris Hemsworth; Day Shift, where Jamie Foxx plays a vampire hunter; and a new basketball drama called Hustle, starring Adam Sandler and Queen Latifah.

This list doesn't include some of the other big-name movies coming to the service later this year, like Knives Out 2, Enola Holmes 2, and...

Apple’s DIY repair parts are only slightly cheaper than its repair prices

Posted: 27 Apr 2022 07:27 AM PDT

Apple is now selling replacement iPhone parts directly to customers, allowing them to repair their own devices rather than paying a professional. But if you were expecting a DIY repair to be a way of saving money, then you might be a little disappointed. Apple's pricing for some of the most common replacement parts is very similar to what it'll charge you to do the repairs at an Apple Store, even when you're the one delicately taking your phone apart to swap out a broken part. Only once you factor in the credit you get for sending in a replaced part do you stand to see a more significant saving.

Take battery replacements. Apple is charging $69 for a Battery & Screw Kit for iPhone 12 or 13 models and $49 for the same kit for the...

Comcast and Charter team up in hopes of toppling Roku, Amazon streaming hardware

As the old saying goes, if you can't beat 'em, partner up with another overly powerful cable giant to give yourself a better shot. This morning, Comcast and Charter announced a new joint venture that will see the two companies teaming up to develop "a next-generation streaming platform on a variety of branded 4K streaming devices and smart TVs." This new platform and the devices that run it will square off against Amazon, Roku, Google, Apple, and other established streaming hardware players.

The new venture is evenly divided between the two companies and is exclusively focused on streaming; it "does not involve the broadband or cable video businesses of either Comcast or Charter, which will remain independent."

Comcast says its Flex...

A small number of Apple Watch Series 6 models may have an issue that causes their display to go permanently blank. The good news is Apple now says you can get it fixed for free.

The program (as spotted by 9to5Mac) was quietly launched late last week. According to Apple, the issue only affects 40mm models of the Series 6 manufactured between April and September 2021. If you've been experiencing this problem and have an eligible Watch, Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will fix the issue free of charge.

To check for eligibility, you'll need to know your device's serial number. If your Series 6 display is blanked out, then it's best to head to the Watch app on your phone. From there, head to the My Watch tab, select General, tap...

Though principal photography on Universal's 10th Fast & Furious movie just recently began, Justin Lin announced this week that he will no longer be directing the project, a surprising turn of events that's bound to bring production to a halt.

On Tuesday, Lin broke the news in a public statement explaining that he ultimately settled on the decision to leave Fast X with Universal's support and that he plans to stay on the film, which he co-wrote along with Dan Mazeau, as a producer.

"Over 10 years and five films, we have been able to shoot the best actors, the best stunts, and the best damn car chases," Lin said. "On a personal note, as the child of Asian immigrants, I am proud of helping to build the most diverse franchise in movie...

Rivian is experiencing a production issue with an interior trim option for its electric vehicles. Some reservation holders of the company's R1T electric truck and R1S SUV received emails this week saying that the Ocean Coast trim is "more challenging to produce" and will be delayed to later this fall (via Electrek).

It's not the best look given the email came the same day as rival Ford's launch event of its electric Lightning truck, but Rivian does have some cool new software updates to share as well. The company announced that it's working on OTA updates that will enable a dashcam feature, which will go nicely with its Gear Guard video security feature. There's also an upcoming "pet mode" that keeps HVAC running for your dog while you...

Get all three Witcher games for just $11.22 at Steam

Posted: 27 Apr 2022 06:07 AM PDT

If you've seen The Witcher on Netflix and have been curious about giving the games a shot, you can get all three games in The Witcher series at Steam for an incredibly low price. The Witcher Trilogy costs just $11.22 right now. Outside of a sale, getting all three titles would cost you $69.97. Needless to say, this is a great deal for anyone who has a modestly powerful gaming PC (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released in 2015, but it's still graphically demanding, even to today's standards). If you have a Steam Deck, you should know that only The Witcher 3 is verified to work on the portable console.

It's not always easy to find high-quality true wireless earbuds under $100 — never mind ones that are actually on sale — but every now and...

Apple is launching its DIY phone repair service in the US today, making spare parts available for the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and third-generation iPhone SE. When the company announced its "Self Service Repair" initiative last year, Apple said it planned to sell over 200 "individual parts and tools" to customers. They're only available in the US for now, but Apple plans to expand the program to other countries as well as additional devices, like Macs equipped with M1 chips, later this year.

Parts are available through Apple's Self Service Repair Store. Tool rental kits will also be available to rent for seven days at a cost of $49 for customers who don't want to buy tools outright, the company said in its press release.

The program marks...
