The latest version of the Google Nest Cam Outdoor (wired, 2nd gen)—yeah, that’s the name—is a real Jekyll and Hyde of a product. The hardware and software interface are expertly crafted and a delight to use. But once you start looking more closely at Google’s AI-forward security camera, it gets ugly and annoying.

The $150 Nest Cam Outdoor’s biggest problem is that it’s not cheap to use. Like Ring and Arlo, Google’s security camera subscription plans have gotten more expensive than…

Star Trek 4 is dead. Again. But this time, the movie that has died multiple deaths might be gone for good.

With this week’s news that Paramount, after a decade of back and forth, has seemingly pulled the plug on reviving the “Kelvin Timeline” that returned Star Trek to the silver screen in J.J Abrams’ 2009 movie, we’re taking a look at the decade-long timeline that the Star Trek movie that couldn’t took to come to this unfortunate end.

Tinder is testing a new AI-powered feature that looks at the photos on your camera roll in an effort to find you better matches, according to an announcement from parent company Match Group. And while that might sounds like a rather invasive way to find a match, the dating app notes that it’s opt-in and will hopefully combat what it calls “swipe fatigue.”

The feature is called Chemistry and was announced by Match Group CEO Spencer Rascoff during an earnings call on Tuesday. The AI asks…

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s mission to “Make America Healthy Again” doesn’t seem to be going so well. The new “health czar” continues to preside over the meltdown of America’s most critical health agencies—a development that obviously doesn’t bode well for Americans or their health. Case in point: This weekend, the Food and Drug Administration was thrown into chaos after one of its top drug regulators resigned from his position.

George Tidmarsh was formerly the head of the FDA’s…

In 2026, we know most of the big movies we’re looking forward to: The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday, Supergirl, etc. But mark our words. When we hit this time next year, and we start to look back at the best genre films released in 2026, one word is almost certainly going to be on that list: Obsession.

Obsession is a new horror film from writer-director Curry Barker with a mostly unknown cast. It debuted earlier this year at the Toronto International Film Festival and…

It’s not every day that you can sit down and talk to all the stars of a big Hollywood movie in a single interview, but not every movie is Predator: Badlands. The latest film in the sci-fi franchise that started in 1987 flips the script on the tried-and-true formula, not only by making the Predator himself the hero but also by not featuring a single human character in the whole film. In fact, in terms of actors, there are really only two main ones who appear on screen: Elle Fanning and…

China’s human spaceflight agency has delayed the return of the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft and its crew from the country’s space station, Tiangong, after a possible debris impact. It is not yet clear when the three astronauts will return to Earth.

“The Shenzhou 20 crewed spacecraft is suspected of being struck by a small piece of space debris, and impact analysis and risk assessment are underway,” the China Manned Space Engineering Office (CMSEO) said in a statement on Wednesday.

Indiana Jones is always on the hunt for rare antiquities. He’s found the Golden Idol, Ark of the Covenant, Holy Grail, and so much more. All of which makes prop replicas of those things rather obvious. But, for the Indiana Jones fan who wants to be like their favorite adventuring archaeologist and get something more rare and specific, how about a clothes hanger?

Yes, next week, Regal Robot is releasing maybe the most random, deep-cut, funniest Indiana Jones prop replica ever, Toht’s hanger…

No matter how convenient Spotify is, physical media will always feel more special. And sure, owning vinyl and CDs is great if you’re an audiophile, a collector, or you just like to touch stuff with your hands, but you also need a great way to play those discs. For that end, Shanling just announced what might be one of the coolest portable CD players I’ve ever seen.

The EC Zero AKM is first and foremost what I just stated: a portable way to play CDs. Unlike other CD players, portable or not,…
