Christopher Nolan’s new movie The Odyssey is based on Homer’s 2,700-year-old epic poem. There have been a lot of adaptations of The Odyssey over the past couple millennia, and some of them are so abstract most people don’t even realize they are adaptations. That got us thinking about another author whose work is frequently remixed and presented as original: William Shakespeare.

We’ll try to highlight more obscure entries. Related 5 famous books that are…
TL;DR RingConn has launched its Gen 3 smart ring alongside an official Lord of the Rings partnership with Warner Bros. The $349 wearable tracks sleep, activity, women’s health, and sleep apnea patterns without requiring a subscription. Eligible US buyers can apparently receive LOTR-themed rewards.

Then again, plenty of people have spent the last 25 years wishing they could get their hands on the One Ring, and RingConn is now leaning into that enthusiasm with an official Lord…

On July 3, one of NASA’s two Mars-destined ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) spacecraft captured photos of Earth and the Moon in visible and thermal infrared light. At the time, the spacecraft was 363,250 miles (584,600 kilometers) from Earth and 115,600 miles (186,100 kilometers) from the Moon, making the Moon appear relatively large. Taken with the Sun only partly illuminating Earth and the Moon, the visible light image shows the two bodies as crescents, with only around 8% of each face sunlit.

Shokz OpenDots Air: Two-minute reviewI’ve long pointed to the flagship Shokz OpenDots One as the best open earbuds in the clip-style category, so I’ll admit that I watched the release of the brand’s budget-grade option with trepidation.All too often, a brand’s wallet-friendly earbuds tend to fit poorly, cut too many features, completely miss the mark sonically, or launch at a price point that doesn’t make sense.

For all of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s grandiose claims that the pickup would be an “apocalypse-proof” tank capable of winning its driver style points wherever they go, it’s instead earned a reputation for being incredibly unreliable and just about the opposite of “easy on the eyes” — probably because you can imagine the numerous sharp edges that define its low-poly design poking you in them as soon as you see it. Most unforgivable in the capitalist society Musk…
