Donald Glover is heading into PUBG, and he’s taking on considerably more work than surviving a match. Netflix is developing a live-action series based on the battle royale game, with the Atlanta creator attached to star and direct. Krafton confirmed the project, which Glover will co-write with his brother Stephen. Both will also executive produce, putting the brothers to work on the adaptation’s scripts while Donald takes a role in front of the camera. Why is Glover the draw here Glover comes to the project with Emmy and Golden Globe wins for Atlanta, alongside his acting work in Community. He…
Xpeng has launched the Mona L05 in China with a starting price of 139,800 yuan (around $20,800), bringing a new electric crossover with up to 635 km of claimed range, an extended-range option and a technology-heavy cabin to its mass-market lineup. While the vehicle is not confirmed for the US market, its combination of pricing, range and features offers a glimpse of the competition American automakers face as Chinese EV makers expand overseas. The five-seat mid-size SUV is available with fully electric and extended-range electric powertrains. The launch also comes as Xpeng looks beyond China, with the company targeting 65…

Glasses-free 3D has always felt like a luxury I could admire from afar. Those screens were built for design studios, not smaller desks like mine. But Sony’s new version is small enough to sit beside my keyboard, and I’m genuinely excited. The company has unveiled the ELF-MN1, a 6-inch display that makes 3D characters and avatars look like they’re coming out of the screen without any special glasses or a headset. It plugs into a phone or PC with one USB-C cable, and that’s pretty much it (via Sony). How does the ELF-MN1 show 3D without glasses? The secret is…

Earlier this month, Apple introduced the all-new iMac. But if you look at it closely, there isn’t a lot that you could call “new,” per se. On the updated desktop, the most notable upgrades are the M6 chip and improved wireless connectivity, alongside the promise of better AI performance. But it appears that the machine, which hasn’t received a design refresh or any other meaningful upgrade in years, could finally get its due. In the latest edition of Bloomberg’s Power On podcast, Mark Gurman mentioned that Apple is looking at an OLED screen upgrade for the iMac, but it could…
Elon Musk has revealed ambitious plans for Neuralink, and they go beyond controlling computers with your thoughts. The company is developing two brain implants, Telepathy and Blindsight, aimed at helping people with paralysis and severe vision loss. Musk also believes future advances could help people regain control of their hands and legs by reconnecting the brain with their limbs. How Neuralink’s Telepathy can help people with paralysis Neuralink’s first implant, Telepathy, translates brain signals into commands that control external devices. This allows people with severe paralysis to move a computer cursor, click on items, play games, write code, and create…
I’ve lost count of wireless headsets that sound great until the microphone switches on. That is exactly why a cord-free streaming headset from a studio-audio brand earns my attention (with a pinch of skepticism). Audio-Technica wants to change my mind, and I am all up for it. The company has announced the “ATH-M50xSTS-WL,” its first wireless headset in the StreamSet line. What’s unique, however, is how the brand has combined the studio sound of its ATH-M50x monitor headphones with microphone tech from its 20 Series studio mics (via Audio-Technica). How does the wireless StreamSet keep audio and your voice clean?…
US Senators Ron Wyden and Edward Markey have sent Mark Zuckerberg a rather scathing letter over Meta’s camera glasses. They’ve accused the company of launching a product “tailor-made for invading the privacy of its users and bystanders.” And looking at the incidents they cite, it’s not hard to understand why. Meta has until November 25 to respond. Meta knew about the risks before launching its glasses According to the senators, Meta’s own human rights assessment identified risks to women, children, and other vulnerable people back in 2021, before its first Ray-Ban glasses went on sale. The company went ahead anyway.…
PlotGTM launched a free go-to-market strategy calculator. The tool estimates leads, budget, and cash needs from a revenue goal. Here’s how most growth plans get made: Pick some channels. Split the budget. Launch. Hope the revenue shows up. PlotGTM thinks that order is backward, and launched a free calculator built to flip it. The browser-based tool asks for a few numbers: current revenue, a revenue goal, how long the campaign runs, and basics like lead volume, conversion rate, average order size and margin. Then it does the math most founders skip. It tells you how many leads you’ll need, what…
