The moderately successful Star Wars film The Mandalorian and Grogu will be available to stream via Disney+ on September 2. This is just over three months after the film hit theaters and six weeks after it became available to rent or purchase in a digital format. For the uninitiated, this is a sequel film to the hit series The Mandalorian, which is the show that launched the Disney+ platform. Both the series and the film follow the exploits of the titular Mandalorian bounty hunter and his cute and cuddly ward, a 55-year-old member of Yoda’s species that presents as a…
NVIDIA has made Alpamayo 2 Super, its latest open AI model for autonomous driving, available for commercial use. The 34-billion-parameter model is designed to help developers build Level 4 autonomous vehicles and robotaxis by combining visual perception, reasoning and driving actions in a single system. Unlike traditional autonomous-driving systems that primarily detect objects and predict their movements, Alpamayo 2 Super is designed to reason about complex situations and explain the decisions it makes. Architecturally, it combines two components: a 32-billion-parameter vision-language model called Cosmos 3 Super Reasoner, which interprets the scene, and a smaller, roughly 2-billion-parameter “Action Expert” that converts…
Keychron has built a 100-key macro pad for anyone who has ever looked at a keyboard and wished none of its buttons had jobs yet. The Keychron C100 8K costs $64.99 and presents a 10-by-10 grid with no letters, numbers, or commands assigned. Four corner keys are reserved for lighting controls and can’t be remapped, leaving 96 programmable positions. That’s still nearly an entire full-size mechanical keyboard devoted to shortcuts, except nobody has decided what any of them should do. How much can you program The C100 8K supports QMK and the browser-based Keychron Launcher, letting owners assign individual commands…
A slew of new phones and gadgets were revealed at the Made by Google event on Wednesday, including new Pixel phones, a foldable, a smartwatch and a personal item tracker. Following industry trends, most of these are pricier than their predecessors. Like every other corner of the broader tech industry, phone makers have had to grapple with the RAM shortage and subsequent increased prices for memory and other components. Google acknowledged the shortage, noting that its pricing reflects that current reality. For the record, Samsung said much the same, citing the RAM shortage to justify the price increase for its…

In Singapore’s brutal F&B industry, Annalakshmi still lets you pay whatever you want For 25 years, Annalakshmi has operated on a premise that seems almost antithetical to conventional F&B economics: let diners decide how much they want to pay. In Singapore, where restaurants contend with rising rent, manpower costs and increasingly cautious consumers, giving customers control over the bill might sound like a recipe for financial trouble. Yet somehow, the vegetarian restaurant has made it work all these years. Founded in 1986, the restaurant moved from a fixed-price concept to its current pay-as-you-wish model in 2001. The idea behind it…
The North Korean threat actor known as Lazarus Group has been attributed to the zero-day exploitation of a newly patched security flaw impacting Microsoft Windows to deliver a never-before-seen backdoor targeting defense and aerospace companies across France, Germany, Brazil, and India. The activity, per Check Point Research, is part of Operation Dream Job, a long-running cyber espionage and social engineering campaign orchestrated by Pyongyang-backed hackers to target professionals worldwide with fake-but-compelling job offers at firms like Lockheed Martin and Enveil to steal sensitive data and install malware by approaching them on platforms like LinkedIn, pretending to be recruiters in an…
Applied Materials Inc. beat expectations on both earnings and revenue in its third-quarter financial results today, and followed up with strong guidance for the current quarter, but its stock fell in the wake of elevated expectations from investors. Though the company is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom, that trend means that it had a high bar to clear, and investors likely deemed its results weren’t impressive enough. Its stock fell more than 4% in the after-hours trading session. The company reported earnings before certain costs such as stock compensation of $3.50 per share, up from…
ScopeSys CEO Padma Kodukula Medical researchers need cutting-edge tools to create new treatments, and Vancouver, BC startup ScopeSys wants to provide them.
