The other Ray Gunn.

Netflix has released the first trailer for the film — not to be confused with Raygun — a hardboiled sci-fi feature helmed by Brad Bird, best-known for animated classics like Ratatouille and The Iron Giant. It hits theaters on December 4th before streaming on December 18th.

An endurance watch with solar on both sides.

Des Yap did some initial testing of the new $649.99 T-Rex Dual Solar from Amazfit — the first endurance watch with a bright and colorful OLED to be fitted with teeny-weeny solar panels. The ring around the display can extend life a bit, but the larger rear panel around the heart-rate sensor can add a few percentage points of charge when you arrive at camp, or when the watch is slung off a running vest, so maybe you can leave your ultralight power bank home on your next multi-day adventure.

Is Apple Music experimenting with a new logo?

A redesigned wordmark has appeared at the start of a new promotional video for Apple Music Hall, and at the top of the venue’s website. That said, the current version is still being used across the Apple Music website, and displayed inside the new show venue. so it’s unclear if Apple will be using the new logo anywhere else.

A comparison between Apple Music wordmarks.
I rather like the redesigned version on the right, it feels more suited for the Apple style vibe. Thoughts?

Zelda Williams slams deepfakers: ‘Have some shame.’

In a post on X, Williams criticized people for sharing a fake AI video that depicts her father Robin Williams pushing conspiracy theories, and said the clip is “not even particularly convincing.” It’s the latest of several condemnations the Williams family has made against AI fakery of the late actor.

“That supposedly ‘private video’ of dad that I’ve been shown talking about conspiracies is clearly AI, and not even particularly convincing AI. Anyone who claims to be a fan who believes it clearly listened to his movies on mute because that voice is robotic and terrible. That said, a human made a robot create it, and to you I say: leave him out of your delusional bullshit and let him rest. If you cannot make your case without making a dead man make it more convincing for you, then tell me: who’s the one manipulating the public thru media now? I hate this cesspool of an app. It’s mostly bots and people willingly being duped by bots at this point so not sure why I feel the need to come back to clarify, but I love him, so I will. Just because he’s gone does not mean he’s now your puppet. Have some shame.“

What creepypasta or internet horror deserves a movie next?

Backrooms was a legit box office blockbuster. And now A24 is gearing up to make a movie based on the SCP universe (even if, for legal reasons, it might not use the SCP name). What internet horror franchise do you think should get big-screen treatment next?
