    More Moana.

    Here’s a couple of facts for you, apropos of nothing: it has been less than a decade since Moana hit US theaters, and not even 12 months since Moana 2 followed it. And yet, here we are.

    Calibrate your enthusiasm.

    Can you tell we’re excited about the Steam Machine? We haven’t exactly been quiet about it. But it’s good to get the reminder that there’s one crucial bit of information we’re still waiting for, and it all depends on that.

    Mrogi:

    I mean yes, in principle by features it’s also the device I want. But I feel without the price 80% of the equation is missing?

    There’s a few hundred bucks in one or the other direction if I feel enthusiastic or “meh” about this thing.

    A more refined ripoff.

    Samsung took heavy inspiration from Apple’s AirPods when it reinvented the design of its Galaxy Buds 3, but is making some tweaks for the next set. Android Authority spotted the Buds 4 Pro in leaked One UI 8.5 animations, with a flatter stem and no light strip.

    Fixing the wrong problem.

    Tesla might be about to give in and adopt Apple’s CarPlay system in its cars. It’s a welcome change, but somehow I suspect this commenter isn’t the only one holding out on a Model Y purchase for slightly different reasons.

    Brian Ford:

    Unfortunately, the addition of CarPlay won’t erase the other dealbreaker for me.

    Two million feet of film.

    That’s what Christopher Nolan shot for The Odyssey. By comparison, Oppenheimer’s three-hour IMAX reels were 11 miles long — or about 60,000 feet. Since The Odyssey was shot entirely on IMAX film, two million feet of film at 24 frames-per-second works out to around 100 hours of footage. This might be a long edit.
