Between the never-ending pandemic, systemic wage inequality, and constant management nightmares, real-life work has never felt so dystopian. But Ben Stiller’s new Apple TV+ series, Severance, takes things to another level by having Adam Scott undergo a very strange procedure: to have two wholly separate sets of…
Microsoft is acquiring Activision Blizzard in a landmark deal worth $68.7 billion. The purchase, should it go through, will reshape the gaming industry and potentially catapult Microsoft’s Xbox gaming division and Game Pass subscription service.
West Virginia won’t use BlackRock’s investment funds any longer as part of its banking transactions, positioning itself as defending poor, defenseless American fossil fuel companies. The boycott is based on BlackRock’s recent public statements on climate—but ignores the realities of where the financial giant is…

It was only a bit over a month ago that Amazon announced that its hit The Boys was got to get an animated spinoff titled Diabolical, which was going to be an animated anthology of short cartoons set in the Boys-iverse. Now, Diabolical has a (very close!) release date and a first look at the series in action, and……
Omicron is often described as a milder illness, but that doesn’t always capture what it means to have the virus.

Both offer a “splash” of unique, one-time-only color themes and bespoke equipment, and Ford promises to drop new Splash themes every few months. Welcoming the new year are three new Splash models inspired by the changing seasons … Continue reading
A show that stars three actors who all identify as being on the autism spectrum will debut on Amazon Prime Video this week. Rick Glassman, Albert Rutecki and Sue Ann Pien play three 20-something roommates who are also on the spectrum in As We See It.
Creator Jason Katims is best known for his work on Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, which featured a character with Asperger’s syndrome. He said all of As We See It‘s “neurodiverse roles were cast with neurodiverse actors” and “two neurotypical roles were cast with neurodiverse actors,” according to Disability Scoop. Some writers, editors and other crew members are neurodiverse too.
Katims said his son has autism, and their experience inspired As We See It. “I think the show affords us a window into the hearts and souls of three-dimensional, loving, beautiful, complicated human beings who happen to be on the autistic spectrum, played by actors who identify as being autistic,” Katims said. “It shouldn’t be revolutionary. But it sort of is.”
Several other shows from recent years have featured characters with autism, including Netflix’s Atypical, The Good Doctor, Prime Video series The A Word and even Sesame Street. However, it’s rarer for a series to feature characters with autism played by performers who themselves are on the spectrum. As such, As We See It could bolster authentic on-screen representations of autism.
All eight episodes of As We See It‘s first season will hit Prime Video on Friday.
Despite the show’s finale airing almost 20 years ag,o the technology in Star Trek: Voyager (and even TNG) still looks convincingly futuristic, and we’d happily trade our folding smartphones like the Galaxy Z Fold 3 or the Surface Duo 2 for this incredible recreation of one of Voyager’s tricorders.
Lenovo launched two mobile computers optimized for classrooms with the Lenovo 10w tablet and Lenovo 13w Yoga clamshell. Both are built on cost-effective hardware platforms that ensure an excellent performance/price ratio.
The $329 10w tablet runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c platform and has a 10.1-inch display, as the name indicates. With up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of flash storage, this is suitable for basic computing tasks.
The 10w can attach to a keyboard that turns it into a clamshell convertible laptop. That makes about twice as thick, but the productivity gain is worth it.
Thanks to its 2MP webcam, students can join virtual classes, and there’s also an 8MP rear camera if the student needs to share something during a live call. That sure beats having only the selfie webcam in many situations.
The $749 Lenovo 13w Yoga has a 1080p 13.3” display and is meant to be a bit more powerful, thanks to its AMD Ryzen 7 5000 U-Series processor platform.
This convertible PC can be ordered with 16GB and a 512GB SSD, which is very respectable for an education-oriented laptop. RAM and SSD are user-upgradable if you want to start small and upgrade later at an even more favorable cost.
Both laptops run on Windows 11 SE, an OS version optimized for an education environment, including tighter app installation controls, full-screen app launch, and administrative functions.
Lenovo also includes its NetFilter software, a security layer that can block unsafe content based on several heuristics that are updated regularly. Both computers will be available “in April,” according to Lenovo.
