In a new interview hyping the return of Colin Farrell’s Penguin, The Batman director Matt Reeves suggested there’s little room in his vision of Gotham for “full fantastical” villains who invoke the supernatural—disappointing fans of one character in particular: the Gentleman Ghost. Following the Gentleman...

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

You’ve probably been there. You walk up to a parking meter and just want to pay for it and move on with your day. But unlike the old-school method of just dropping some quarters into the machine, there are a dozen slightly different ways to pay so you can finally go on with your day. One of the methods is to scan the QR code, which will take you to a website where you can make it happen. But you may want to look closely at that pixelated little graphic the next time you’re going through this obnoxious dance.

It’s been almost ten years since LCD video killed the plasma video star. The legacy Japanese electronics brand Panasonic is trying to remind U.S. consumers of a time when it still made televisions for the North American market. The company’s back now with two new OLED models and a mini-LED offering. At the top end, the Z95A OLED is kicking in Panasonic’s audio know-how, integrating a suite of side speakers and directional audio that sounds impressive enough in person; I wonder why the company doesn’t just outright say you don’t even need a soundbar.

Mongooses deployed on a small Japanese island to cull a population of venomous snakes have themselves been culled by the state, after the mammals insisted on eating the local endangered rabbits. Mongooses (yes, that’s the plural) are venom-resistant and prey on venomous snakes like those on Amami Oshima, a subtropical...

Unfortunately for those who consider 2022’s The Northman an underrated gem, its blood-soaked portrayal of Viking life may not be entirely accurate, even without the supernatural elements. Relics examined by anthropologists reveal that, compared to their Norwegian counterparts, Vikings in modern-day Denmark were relatively peaceful, owning fewer weapons and using them less frequently than their southern neighbors.

If I need anything more than the pink Barbie phone, it’s the EcoFlow Power Hat. I know it sounds odd and slightly concerning. I’ve never worn a hat with eight solar panels and dual charging ports on my head, so I’m not sure how it’s going to feel. But picturing my hat simultaneously charging up to two devices when I’m out on a hike is exciting, too. You’ll have to shell out $80 for it, though, which sounds like a lot for a casual beach hat, but not when I think of a power bank with dual output. So, it’s a fair deal.

You may have wondered when the Android 15 software update would hit after Google lifted the lid on its Pixel hardware earlier this time. I was gobsmacked when I realized that Google was shipping new hardware with the previous version of its software, Android 14. That’s a decidedly third-party OEM move, not something you see from the maker of all things Android. There was much speculation in the blogs and forums about why Google delayed the software. However, that’s all null and void now that the Android 15 code has officially entered the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) database. Yay!
