RSS might not be dead in the strict sense of the word. After all, we still have the How-To Geek RSS feed and people still use it. It's just that RSS has sharply declined to almost nothing, and it's simply not how people get their content pushed to them anymore.

When you’re shopping for a portable power station, there are a lot of confusing numbers to figure out—but the most important detail to consider isn’t a number at all! It's what your battery is made of.

Trying a new Linux distribution can be exciting, but I’ve learned that one missing feature can turn the whole experience sour. For me, that dealbreaker is simple: if a distro doesn’t support Flatpak, I won’t bother installing it.

I’ve lived in Florida for over 25 years. In that time, I’ve experienced at least 8 major hurricanes, many heavy storms, and countless power outages. Dealing with the fallout of these storms can be tough. Power outages and brownouts are simply part of life here. Most times the power is back on relatively quickly, but at least a couple of times a year, I experience extended outages.

The hit anime Jujutsu Kaisen is finally returning, and a brand-new trailer teases the next major arc and reveals its release window.

Adapted from the wildly popular manga, Jujutsu Kaisen follows high schooler Yuji Itadori, who becomes host to the fearsome curse Ryomen Sukuna and joins a secret society of sorcerers tasked with destroying him. Season 3 picks up immediately after the events of season 2, diving into the wreckage left by the devastating Shibuya Incident arc.

With season 2 wrapping back in December 2023, it’s been over three years since fans last saw Yuji and crew in action. The upcoming storyline centers on The Culling Games, a deadly battle royale billed as "the most unprecedented act of jujutsu terrorism ever enacted."

The new season is set to premiere in January 2026 and stream on Crunchyroll, but fans won’t have to wait that long for a taste. In December, Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution will hit theaters, a special presentation that compiles the Shibuya Incident arc into a single film while previewing the first two episodes of season 3. The format mirrors other anime compilation films, like Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village.

The theatrical release arrives on Dec. 5.

In an exclusive investigation, Reuters uncovered that Meta has been using the names and likenesses of celebrities without their consent to power AI chatbots that frequently made flirtatious advances toward users.

The report found these bots scattered across Meta-owned platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. While many were created by users, at least three originated from a Meta employee, including two Taylor Swift “parody” bots. Other celebrity likenesses that surfaced included Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, and 16-year-old Percy Jackson star Walker Scobell.

Over several weeks of testing, Reuters documented how the bots often insisted they were the real celebrity in question. When prompted, some generated photorealistic and intimate images of their famous counterparts. These included lingerie shots and bathtub scenes, compounding the bots’ routine sexual advances.

A Meta spokesperson admitted to Reuters that its AI systems should never have produced such images. The spokesperson acknowledged the lapse as a failure to enforce the company’s own policies, which explicitly prohibit the creation of sexually suggestive content involving public figures. Reuters also contacted the Meta employee behind the flirty Taylor Swift chatbots, but she declined to comment.

This latest revelation adds to a growing list of criticism surrounding Meta’s lax regulation of its AI bots. Earlier this week, the company restricted its use by teenagers after a separate Reuters investigation exposed how Meta avatars engaged in “sensual and romantic” conversations with minors.

That report triggered a Senate probe and led a coalition of state attorneys general to issue an open letter demanding the company put stronger safeguards in place to shield minors from sexualized AI content.
