Author and illustrator Loryn Brantz never imagined that a popular cartoon character she created almost a decade ago would one day be the subject of an intellectual property dispute involving BuzzFeed, Amazon’s video streaming service, and generative artificial intelligence. But that’s exactly the situation she finds herself in today.“Nothing said in good faith by managers and executives was followed through with,” Brantz says of BuzzFeed, her former employer.This week, Brantz shared an Instagram post calling out the once-dominant media brand. She was responding to news that the company had licensed her advice-giving cupcake character, Cuppy, to Prime Video, which plans…

Using An Intel Core i5-1235U 2P + 8E Makes A Difference IceWhale’s ZimaCube 2 Pro is an impressive NAS, and not just because those two performance cores are rare to find in a NAS.  In addition to the Intel processor it also has a 256GB PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD for whatever OS you want to install, it comes with ZimaOS configured but can handle any flavour of Linux you like, and there are 16GB DDR5-4800.  Your storage pool can handle a half dozen 3.5/2.5″ SATA3 drives and another four PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSDs.  Hopefully you bought those before prices…

RedMagic’s practice of releasing new flagship smartphones every six months or so continues, and the latest entry in the company’s delightfully innovative Pro line is the RedMagic 11S Pro. As the name suggests, this is to be considered a minor refresh of the RedMagic 11 Pro, which was released in November 2025.Before we dive into the supreme gaming goodness of the 11S Pro, keep this in mind: owners of the 11 Pro should not feel bad about RedMagic releasing a new model so soon. That’s because the upgrades over the 11 Pro are minor at best – the substantial gains…

At its recent I/O developer conference, Google introduced Gemini Spark as an always-on agent that connects to your personal data, completes online tasks, and automates aspects of your daily interactions. It’s Google’s take on the viral OpenClaw agent that rocked Silicon Valley at the start of 2026. OpenClaw’s early adopters handed their entire lives over to an AI agent for messaging and scheduling automation—sometimes with bot-induced mishaps causing embarrassing results.My first time using Gemini Spark had me wheezing with laughter. I gave Google’s new AI agent access to everything from my personal Gmail, Docs, and Calendar apps. (So long privacy.)…

Another year begins and that means it’s time to start our Game of the Year watch. Every year we round up the games that have resonated with us as we keep an eye out for this year’s best. 2026 has already had some certified bangers just in the first five months. We’ll be updating this list periodically as we head toward December, so watch this space. Pragmata Capcom’s “happy dad” puzzle shooter game Pragmata feels truly refreshing despite also feeling old. Diana and Hugh’s daddy/daughter day in space takes simple shooting and puzzle mechanics and slaps them together into something…

A New Way To Strip Away Mac Users Privacy Websites love to spy on anyone who visits them, and are constantly coming up with new ways to do so as users find ways to block them.  You might think this could be solved by explicitly asking permission and maybe even offering rewards for allowing sites to track you across the web, but that is far too reasonable for these times.  LSOs, cookies, invisible pixels, browser preferences and even mouse movement habits have all been used in the past and now we have something called FROST.  The only good news is…

Google Photos keeps stacking on features, and the newest one hiding in its code might raise an eyebrow. It hints at Google leaning on a rival’s app to do a job it has spent the past year building its own tool to handle.A fresh edit button is heading to MemoriesMemories has always been the low-effort corner of Google Photos, the auto-generated carousel of old photos and clips that greets you at the top of the app. Until now, your only real control was muting the audio or pulling out an image you did not want.We flagged an early attempt at…

The Brewista Milk Frothing pitcher advertises a maximum capacity of 24 ounces, but its 3.3-inch chamber is great for smaller drinks that require more aeration and less steam-wand submergence. The spout is great for latte art, and the durable exterior can take a beating when you’re smacking it against the counter to even out bubbles in the milk after steaming. The exterior temperature gauge is a cute gimmick that’s OK as a rough visual guide if your ears and fingers aren’t used to knowing when milk is steamed to the correct temp, but it’s no substitute for a proper thermometer…

Players are theorizing about a throwaway line in Living the Dream’s latest patch notes After Nintendo released Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream last month, fans of the life sim series were split. Some praised the game’s endless customization and control, while others (like me) grew frustrated with having too much power. In the original Tomodachi Life, Miis were truly in control rather than the player, so existing in a world where Miis rarely fought and everything went perfectly just felt wrong.Earlier this month, Nintendo patched the game with Version 1.0.2, which was packed with mostly minor bug fixes. But players…
