Manisha Krishnan: OK. So it sounds like you’re potentially open. You’re not closing the door on working with AI basically?Jon Chu: I don’t know.Manisha Krishnan: OK. That’s fair. I do want to talk a little bit about Crazy Rich Asians because I love that movie, but also I sort of wonder, did you have concerns about being typecast for doing Asian projects? That movie meant so much for representation. Did you also feel a lot of responsibility when you undertook that project?Jon Chu: Yeah. I mean, there’s a reason why I did it because I was so scared of talking…
YouTube announced that it will no longer share data with Billboard for the creation of the Billboard Hot 100 and other charts because the video platform doesn’t believe they’re calculated fairly. The issue lies, per YouTube, with how Billboard weighs on-demand streams in its rankings: The publication weighs streams from paid music streaming services over ad-supported streams, and YouTube just so happens to run an ad-supported streaming service.Much like getting a book on The New York Times Bestseller list, landing a spot on the Billboard charts doesn’t carry quite the same importance that it once did. When the majority of…
Jonathan Bailey, the actor who plays Fiyero in the Wicked movies and was People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2025, also voices a cat boy in Final Fantasy XIV named G’raha Tia. Bailey has really blown up in the years since he took on the role in Square Enix’s MMO, with featured roles in both Wicked: For Good and Jurassic World: Rebirth helping to make him the top-grossing actor of 2025. But even as Bailey has become a household name, G’raha Tia has remained a major character in FFXIV. Now, the MMO has released its 7.4 update, and based on the…
A key discovery from NASA’s Cassini mission in 2008 was that Saturn’s largest moon Titan may have a vast water ocean below its hydrocarbon-rich surface. But reanalysis of mission data suggests a more complicated picture: Titan’s interior is more likely composed of ice, with layers of slush and small pockets of warm water that form near its rocky core. Led by researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, the new study could have implications for scientists’ understanding of Titan and other icy moons throughout our solar system. “This research underscores…
Microsoft is killing off an obsolete and vulnerable encryption cipher that Windows has supported by default for 26 years. This follows more than a decade of devastating hacks that exploited it and recent blistering criticism from a prominent US senator.When the software maker rolled out Active Directory in 2000, it made RC4 a sole means of securing the Windows component, which administrators use to configure and provision fellow administrator and user accounts inside large organizations. RC4, short for Rivist Cipher 4, is a nod to mathematician and cryptographer Ron Rivest of RSA Security, who developed the stream cipher in 1987.…
FIFA’s first true soccer sim after the end of its EA partnership will be available exclusively on Netflix, the streaming service announced. This “reimagined FIFA football simulation game” will be developed and published by Delphi Interactive, and be available to Netflix subscribers next year, right in time for FIFA World Cup 2026.EA and FIFA maintained a nearly 30 year partnership creating soccer games before they parted ways in 2022. EA continued its soccer series afterward as EA FC, but despite being in talks with “leading game publishers, media companies and investors” about “a major new FIFA simulation football game title…
Every classic game deserves a wild Game Boy version. Roblox has to clean up its platform predator problem before it can get a Marvel collab. And a record-breaking Charizard sale has me thinking of every paper collectible I ever threw in the trash. Which presents am I currently buying my children that might one day be worth a small fortune? Or is the nostalgia-fueled millennial collectible market just another bubble everyone will forget about a decade from now? Welcome to the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku‘s daily roundup of gaming news and culture, which just broke its own record…
I’m a Black staffer at WIRED. My position feels more precarious than ever. There’s a reason for that.
NASA is working with commercial partners to create high-performing, reliable propulsion systems that will help small spacecraft safely maneuver in orbit, reach intended destinations across the solar system, and accomplish mission operations. Two new micropropulsion technologies are being tested in space onboard a CubeSat called DUPLEX (Dual Propulsion Experiment) that deployed into low Earth orbit from the International Space Station on Dec. 2. The CubeSat is fitted with two thruster systems that use spools of polymer fibers to provide performance levels of propulsion comparable to existing systems but with greater safety during assembly and more affordability. One of the propulsion…
Last year, Meta announced that it was opening up its VR operating system to other headset makers, starting with ASUS and Lenovo. Now, it seems that Meta is pumping the brakes on the effort and those third-party Horizon OS headsets might never actually launch.The company has “paused” the program, Road to VR reported. Meta confirmed the move in a statement to Engadget, saying that it’s instead focusing on “building the world-class first-party hardware and software needed to advance the VR market.” ASUS and Lenovo didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Both companies have said little about the headsets…
