Wondering what to watch this weekend but too lazy to dig around? No worries, I have rounded up three hidden gems you can binge-watch in a single weekend. There is a technothriller stuffed with cold-case flashbacks, a tense two-hander that unfolds almost entirely inside a basement, carried by sharp dialogue, and a divorce story that turns messier and more human with every episode. I recommend these three limited series on Hulu for their unexpected plot twists and stellar performances. We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu,…
Generally, physical media beats streaming content. The maximum bitrates supported by a disc will outperform those offered by the best streaming services. This is how a lower-resolution disc can appear better than a movie or TV show streamed in 4K. The three main physical media disc standards are DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD Blu-ray — but not every 4K UHD Blu-ray release is created from a 4K source. Many films use a digital intermediate in the finishing process with a 2K resolution, which is then upscaled to create a 4K UHD Blu-ray disc. That begs the question: are 4K UHD…
I love science-fiction. Not just because I enjoy stories about space travel, time travel and evil robots, but because I think it can be such a useful way for us all to think about possible futures. The best sci-fi stories can tell us a lot about ourselves, what we value and the technologies we’re building. Which is why I think the relationship between sci-fi and AI is really interesting.We already know that the people building AI have been heavily influenced by science-fiction for decades. But recently, Anthropic raised another possibility: might science-fiction be influencing AI?This makes sense when you think…
Many companies are showcasing their cybersecurity products and services this week at the 2026 edition of the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas. To help cut through the clutter, the SecurityWeek team is publishing a digest summarizing vendor announcements at Black Hat USA 2026, including new products and services, updates to existing offerings, reports, and other initiatives. This is the fourth part of the series. You can also read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 if you haven’t already. 1Password research into AI-generated patches 1Password’s new security research team, Off-By-1 Labs, has released its inaugural research, which found that…
“We are now, like, in the singularity.”These are the words of Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, speaking on the Relentless podcast on July 25.He added: “I’ve been waiting for this my whole life, and I think it’s going to be incredible, hugely positive, awesome for the world.”Days earlier, OpenAI had disclosed that two of its artificial intelligence models, during an internal cyber security evaluation, had escaped their sealed testing environment, reached the open internet, and broken into the infrastructure of the AI platform Hugging Face, which confirmed the intrusion.But what exactly is the singularity? And is Altman right that we…
The chip shortage is very much still a thing, and it could even affect Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro launch next month. Now, SK Hynix, one of the three major DRAM and NAND manufacturers, has announced that it will invest in a new DRAM and a new NAND fab. The former represents a KRW 35.2 trillion (approximately $25 billion) investment, while the latter is a KRW 19.1 trillion (approximately $13.5 billion) investment. The DRAM fab is expected to open in June 2029, while the NAND fab is expected to open in December 2028. So, while such investments are definitely welcome, they…

In just a few days, on August 12, Google will unveil the Pixel 11 family and the Pixel Watch 5. Ahead of that, the company has today published a new video teaser for the watch on its YouTube channel. It’s short and to the point, as you can see. And the point? Well, the point is to poke fun at the Samsung Galaxy Watches and the Apple Watches of the world with their weird shapes that aren’t really very watch-like. The Pixel Watch 5, on the other hand? This one “has the decency to look like a watch”. And it…
Black Hat — The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) says a 2024 safety recall for Bendix’s EC80 heavy-truck brake controller quietly fixed a set of serious vulnerabilities, including a wirelessly reachable remote code execution flaw, alongside the memory corruption issue Bendix publicly disclosed. The findings were detailed by NMFTA senior cybersecurity research engineer Ben Gardiner on Thursday at the Black Hat USA 2026 conference. The EC80 electronic control unit (ECU) handles anti-lock braking, traction control and stability functions on heavy commercial vehicles. It communicates over J2497, also known as PLC4TRUCKS, a powerline databus that has served since 2001 as…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Roku is giving the masses what they never asked for: an unending conveyor belt of AI slop. Those exploring the mines of the free channels that Roku has to offer — yes, there are people that actually tune in to them — may have noticed a new one called “Fairground AI,” which was quietly added earlier this week and spotted by Cord Cutters News. It broadcasts AI-generated abominations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The only interruption to this slop flow…
