Lately, there’s been a specific kind of app update that makes me close a tab and sigh out loud. It’s the one where a tool I used to love quietly morphs into a data-hungry AI subscription, and this week, Nova Launcher joined that club.What the teardown actually showsA new report digs into Nova Launcher’s v8.6.8 beta and surfaces strings pointing to a new feature called “Nova AI,” tied to a recurring subscription tier called “Nova Plus.”Nova AI is reportedly built into the launcher with a chat interface and suggested prompts like “What’s happening near me right now?” To work, it…
We’re about three weeks out from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s theatrical debut, and while the animated sequel has raked in millions of dollars at the box office, the film’s critical response has been far less positive. Anyone who saw the original movie in 2023 and could glean from the trailers that Galaxy was going to repeat the same “references over substance” approach could have seen this coming, but you know who didn’t? The film’s co-producer, Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto. In an interview with Famitsu (translation via VGC), Miyamoto was asked about his feelings on the Galaxy movie’s reviews, especially…
This image, released in celebration of Earth Day, shows the terminator – the line between night and day – on Earth. The Artemis II astronauts captured this view on April 2, 2026, during their journey to the Moon. NASA science improves life on Earth every day. The agency provides insights on our home planet that can only be gathered from space to help put actionable satellite information in the hands of decision-makers. In addition, NASA’s observations of Earth and the technologies the agency develops provide the foundation needed to explore and sustain human life on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.…
When billionaire Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) swept through government in the first months of 2025, there was one agency that felt the full force of the group’s desire to move fast and break things: the US Agency for International Development (USAID).DOGE’s mandate was to cut contracts and government spending in a futile quest to reduce the federal deficit by $2 trillion. On January 28, 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a waiver for “lifesaving humanitarian assistance,” which should have allowed money for critical projects to continue to flow. But according to Nicholas Enrich, who was…
Control is one of my favorite adventure games of the last decade or so, a mind-bending trip through an ever-changing building where you get to use telekinesis to battle some pretty freaky enemies. It was a graphically-demanding game when it was released in 2019, but a lot can change in less than six years: Control: Ultimate Edition is now available on the iPhone and iPad for a mere $5, following its announcement last October. It’s a universal purchase, which means if you buy it it’ll work on the iPad, iPhone and Mac as well.Developer Remedy promises that it’s the full…
It’s very easy to transfer files between two devices if both are running the same operating system. But things get complicated when you need to move files between completely different operating systems, for instance, Windows and Android. Nothing introduced the Warp app to tackle this situation.Now that it’s finally back, I’ve given it a try. Is it really the best file-transferring app ever released? Here’s my honest experience using the Nothing Warp app.What do you mean by “finally back”?Nothing introduced the Warp app almost a week ago to solve the problem users face when transferring files between two different operating…
If somehow you still weren’t aware, Joel dies in The Last of Us Part II. I’m sorry, we are six years and a bad HBO show in, I’m not going to pretend we shouldn’t all know that the Saddest Dad of All Time meets the wrong end of a golf club a couple of hours into the PS4 sequel. Nevertheless, Joel actor Troy Baker thinks we haven’t seen the last of the man who has been dead and buried in Jackson for six years. In an interview with Eurogamer, Baker says that he thinks Joel may return to the series…
When NASA’s Apollo 8 crew rounded the far side of the Moon in 1968 and astronaut Bill Anders snapped a picture of Earth peeking above the gray horizon, the image became a symbol of hope in challenging times. The photograph, Earthrise, as it came to be called, helped inspire the first Earth Day celebration two years later. This year, the astronauts of the Artemis II mission captured their own poignant images of home. The newly released photo shows Earth on April 6, as the crew traveled farther than any humans before them. “On Earth Day, we are reminded of the…
Tim Cook’s tenure as Apple CEO ends September 1 when he takes the role of executive chair. He will be replaced by John Ternus, a 25-year Apple veteran and head of its hardware engineering division. I get the sense Cook’s professional obituaries will focus on his steady hand, execution success and lack of intra-company drama. All of those are virtues but I suspect the media, ever in love with a narrative of its own concoction, will use them as cudgels. Consider this an attempt to balance the record ahead of Cook’s damning with the faintest of praise.Cook is quiet and…
“[Data center operators’] belief is that the value being delivered by the servers is much, much more than the cost of running these inefficient power plants all the time,” Koomey says.Gas projects developed as part of the Stargate Project, a massive, multi-company AI effort originally started to build out infrastructure for OpenAI, also represent a potential emissions bombshell on WIRED’s list. Stargate campuses are being built across multiple states, including Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Permit documents for just three Stargate-affiliated natural gas projects—one to power a data center campus near the project’s headquarters in Abilene, Texas, and two…
