How to Turn Off Meta AI on Facebook

The Borderlands movie, which released in theaters all of 21 days ago, is already available to watch at home through video on demand. This three-week turnaround could be indicative of the movie’s poor box office performance coupled with its poor critical reception. After seeing it for myself, I agree it’s not the best example of a video game movie. However, I also saw moments where the movie took its source material and remixed it into something entertaining. Whether you watch this movie in theaters, at home, or not at all, Borderlands deserves your respect.

‘Any meat items my dogs refuse to eat, I no longer eat.’ It’s said that animals have a “sixth sense,” which affords them an insight human beings cannot match. There are clips of security camera earthquake footage where pets can be seen wigging out seconds before tremors begin.

I’ve been hunting for a pair of open-ear headphones. I’ve tried two bone-conduction headphones from Suunto. They were lovely, but the bass left me wanting. I tried the Shokz OpenFit Air. The bass was better, but the fit wasn’t great when I wore my glasses. I’d resigned myself to forever using my Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses for runs — great sound but a little heavy and gross when sweaty — and then Shokz said it had a brand-spanking-new pair of bone conduction headphones for me to try. The $179.95 OpenRun Pro 2.

The first season of Amazon’s The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power series was a spectacular piece of storytelling that took details from J.R.R. Tolkien’s appendices and forged them into an intricate exploration of Middle-earth’s history. Uneven pacing sometimes made the show seem like yet another fantasy slog borne out of Hollywood’s exhausting obsession with trying to will “the next Game of Thrones” into existence. But The Rings of Power’s visual splendor was nothing short of astonishing — especially for a streaming series — and each of its lead performances was a testament to how much more compelling classic fantasy characters could become when given the chance to exist beyond their canons.

The Rings of Power season 2 is an even stronger expansion of Tolkien’s mythos

To be fair, it is very hard not to find a camera that is great at both stills and video nowadays. But there are some that just excel one way or another. Let’s have a look at five different cameras, each from a different brand, to keep it nicely balanced.

At this point, you either already know about the “very demure, very mindful” meme that originated on TikTok, or you have neither the interest nor the capacity to understand. It is simply A Thing, a viral catchphrase that may become as ubiquitous in the 2020s as “eyebrows on fleek” was in the 2010s. And that is why every tabloid in America is running a story about a dispute over an application to register “Very Demure… Very Mindful…” as a trademark.

A reader asked the Denver Post why it hadn’t covered a grisly and salacious 2014 murder in Littleton, CO. It hadn’t, because the crime never happened. But there it is on YouTube and Spotify, accumulating millions of views with seemingly AI-generated voiceovers and faces. True crime fans say they reported the videos months ago after YouTube recommended them, but they aren’t being removed.

Tipping on cruise ships is always a controversial topic. Some cruise passengers believe that tipping should be a personal choice, and others argue that automatic tipping policies are necessary to ensure fair compensation for crew members.

It’d be tough for me to recommend a $1,000 Ayaneo Kun over a $800 Asus ROG Ally X, but one particular sticking point may go away — you can buy it (and the fairly weak Ayaneo Next Lite) directly from Best Buy, making potential returns easy. Ayaneo has...

The improved version of Alexa that Amazon’s expected to release this year will primarily be powered by Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence model, according to Reuters. The publication reports that initial versions of Amazon’s smarter, subscription-based voice assistant that used the company’s own AI proved insufficient, often struggling with words and responding to user prompts.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France last weekend, and a few days later was charged with a number of offenses connected to criminal activity on Telegram. There’s a lot about this story we don’t yet know, but this week’s events seem to signal a shift in how countries and governments plan to hold executives accountable for what happens on their platforms.

Star Wars Outlaws isn’t a game you play because you want to experience the most innovative open world. It’s not full of ideas that will shake up the genre, and its structure and gameplay can get pretty repetitive. In a lot of ways, it’s standard stuff. But for a certain kind of player, none of that will matter. Because what makes Outlaws notable is the Star Wars part — it’s an average open-world game but an incredible Star Wars simulator.

Star Wars Outlaws is a perfectly fine open-world game set in an incredible universe
