At the end of last year, somewhere in Billund, Denmark, a Lego designer faced a very specific problem. He’d spent the better part of two years building a helmet set for one of the most popular racing drivers on the planet. Everything was finalised, but, then Lando Norris went and won the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship, resulting in big changes to the upcoming Lego set. “We had quite a long meeting where we were like, we need to change it,” says Daniel Meehan, the Creative Lead of Lego F1. “We’re not recreating an object from the past. We’re co-creating a real…
Summer 2026 has arrived, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend all day sunning yourself. If you’ve subscribed to a streaming service, then chances are it’s getting at least one big “drop” of content in June 2026, whether that be a new TV show or a new movie. From unhinged ex-cons to even more unhinged little brothers, there’s a whole help of fresh series and films arriving on the likes of Netflix, Apple TV and HBO Max this month. And we’ve assembled all our highlights and recommendations right here so that you can mark them all on your calendar.…
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created the world’s first adaptive AI-powered computer worm as a proof-of-concept malware in a yet-to-be peer-reviewed study posted in arXiv. This virus can learn on its own, make decisions, and change its attack strategy in real time to target any device connected to your network. It might sound like something out of the Terminator, but it’s not all bad news.

I really like the look of Valve’s second-generation Steam Controller. The only problem for this diehard PC gamer is that this peripheral, which should retail for $99, is currently going for well over $150 on auction sites. That’s because the first waves of stock for this gamepad disappeared oh so quickly. While there are reasons the new Steam Controller is the best thing to happen to gaming in a long time, I’m happy to stay loyal to my current gamepad of choice. And that controller is the DualSense Edge. Sure, it’s not exactly a cheaper alternative to Valve’s peripheral (official…
Summary Plex has announced new social features: lists, discussions, match scores, reactions, and more. These features are releasing in a staggered rollout — lists are available now in limited form, discussions will come in June, and the remaining features will roll out throughout the year. The features don’t seem like enough to turn sentiment around amid the backlash over upcoming price hikes. On June 3, Plex announced several new social features designed to help aid discovery on its streaming platform. Unfortunately, in light of the massive price hike announced last month, these features are falling a little flat. New social…
I’ve been really getting into running local LLMs lately, and Ollama has been a lifesaver. It’s a great tool, but I always felt like the interface left something to be desired. So I started looking for a proper UI that hooks into it, and turns out there are actually a few decent options, and I think I’ve found the perfect one for me. Related I hooked Obsidian to a local LLM and it beats NotebookLM at its own game My notes now talk back and it’s terrifyingly useful. Ollama is great… for developers I want something prettier Yadullah Abidi /…
It may not be possible to have watched enough nature documentaries to know you find them boring without having seen at least a few produced, narrated, or hosted by David Attenborough. That’s because the English media personality has been making these kinds of documentaries for so long — starting with Zoo Quest in 1954 — that he’s practically become synonymous with the genre. His iconic voice is so warm and soothing, and his name so trusted, that crypto scammers have tried to use his likeness to trick people online, knowing that marks are more likely to buy whatever they’re selling…
Finding your way around Apple News is ridiculously simple to navigate around. Along the bottom in the iOS app you’ll see five menu items: Today, News+, Audio, Following and a Search icon. Of these, Search will be your initial best friends, essentially continuing the work you started during set-up. Explore serves up suggested channels and topics based on the preferences you’ve already expressed. Search strips things back and lets you, um, search for specifics. There’s nothing cryptic going on here. Subscribe to channels and topics Like the look of any channels and topics you come across on your travels and…
The Mandalorian and Grogu is the first Star Wars movie to come out since The Rise of Skywalker hit theaters in 2019. In the meantime, the Star Wars franchise has been at a bit of a loss as to what to do with itself, churning out beloved TV series like Andor as well as limited series like The Book of Boba Fett, which most fans will agree is better left forgotten. The Mandalorian and Grogu has to feel big enough to satisfy longtime fans of the movies, targeted enough not to alienate those who are expecting a continuing of the…
One lazy Sunday, I was parked in front of my TV trying to watch a show, but the buffering wheel kept interrupting every few minutes. Somewhere between the third loading screen and my growing irritation, I noticed how filthy the TV had become. Dust was packed into the rear vents, the HDMI ports looked abandoned, and the screen had this dull layer over it that I’d somehow stopped noticing over time. Out of pure boredom, I unplugged everything and started cleaning it with a microfiber cloth, a soft brush around the vents, and a few minutes spent wiping years of…
