HBO has always made amazing documentaries, whether for broadcast TV or its streaming service, Max. So there’s every reason to be excited about Superpowered: The DC Story even before I tell you that Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Leslie Iwerks and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Mark Catalena co-directed the three-part…
Ever since the ill-fated crypto exchange FTX imploded last year, evidence has been building of rampant criminal activity on the part of the firm’s top executives. A new report on the company’s finances published Monday does nothing to dispel that notion, revealing instead new allegations about how the failed exchange…
As the battle between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to notch regular updates, anyone who hasn’t been following from the beginning might be a bit confused. Why is this Republican presidential hopeful openly fighting with his state’s biggest taxpayer? Let’s take a look.
Nintendo has a bad reputation for its online infrastructure, often being ridiculed for lagging behind in adopting the latest technologies or features (such as requiring a smartphone for voice chat). This includes transitioning user data between your old console and a new one. Fortunately, it sounds like Nintendo is at least looking into making that easier before the launch of its next console.
In a shareholder meeting late last week, when asked if your Nintendo Switch purchases would carry over to future game consoles, President and CEO Shuntaro Furukawa says (via Google Translate), “In the transition from Nintendo Switch to the next-generation console, we would like to make every effort to ensure that customers can make the transition smoothly while using their Nintendo account.” This seems to imply that Nintendo is at least looking into possibly allowing current Nintendo Switch titles purchased through the eShop to be carried over to whatever comes next. Of course, Nintendo doesn’t make comments about future hardware that hasn’t been announced yet, so take this with a grain of salt.
As a reminder, previous-generation Nintendo Wii U games did not carry over to the Switch. This is in stark contrast to Sony and Microsoft, where most last-generation console games work on new consoles. And unlike Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo likes to spice up its controller design with virtually every new console. So sometimes it’s impossible to make a game work on both the new and old console generation.
At the very least, Nintendo is considering making improvements for its future console. It’s always been a major disappointment, especially for digital game buyers, that previously-owned titles did not carry over to the new console. It’s especially infuriating when the PlayStation 5 can play most PlayStation 4 titles, and Xbox Series S and X can play most Xbox One titles and in some cases Xbox 360 titles. And in Microsoft’s case, the company lets you carry over certain physical titles as well. So, Nintendo has a few options on the table for carrying over existing games. Regardless of what Nintendo’s next console is like, hopefully it’ll work with all the Switch games people have amassed over the years.

NASA has accomplished a significant feat by developing a system capable of converting urine into potable water for astronauts. This remarkable technological achievement, reminiscent of the motion picture Waterworld featuring Kevin Costner, possesses the potential to advance the frontiers of space exploration and scientific discoveries.
The Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) aboard the International Space Station (ISS) aims to recycle a staggering 98% of the water utilized by astronauts, capturing and reusing every single droplet of liquid they produce. NASA’s “Urine Processor Assembly” employs the process of vacuum distillation to extract reusable water from urine brine, boasting an impressive success rate of 98% in previous trials.
Furthermore, the ECLSS has developed state-of-the-art dehumidifiers that effectively gather the astronauts’ breath and sweat, contributing to the intricate water recycling process. Contrary to popular belief, the astronauts do not directly consume urine.

Jill Williamson, NASA’s water subsystems manager, clarifies that the treatment process mirrors the techniques employed by terrestrial water plants but has been adapted to function under microgravity conditions.
Williamson emphasizes that the resulting water derived from urine is even purer than the water typically consumed on Earth, challenging the common perceptions held by the general public. This technology not only enhances the water supply for astronauts but also spearheads a revolution in life support systems for forthcoming space missions.
Christopher Brown, a member of NASA’s ISS life support system, elaborates on how this recycling system facilitates the reuse of an impressive 98% of the water collected onboard the station, significantly reducing the need for resupply missions.
NASA’s consistent achievements, encompassing asteroid explorations and the search for lunar life, have garnered significant attention and captivated the imagination of many. Despite the allure of space exploration, a substantial number of individuals still prioritize the relative safety and cleanliness offered by our home planet, Earth. Nonetheless, NASA’s advancements in water recycling propel new possibilities for the future of space research and pave the way for the evolution of life support systems.

“Apparently, Ryan Seacrest is mandated to host everything,” one Twitter user sagely noted.
Produced by Pure Arts, this 1:1 scale replica of The Flash’s cowl features a lighting system that illuminates not only its chest emblem but also the gold veining on the neck and head. With it, I’ll be the fastest-looking superhero this Halloween! And the brokest, because the cowl does cost $1,200. Thank goodness I already own a red unitard.
The cowl is limited to 150 pieces and includes a Flash ring that opens to reveal his signature lightning bolt emblem inside. The cowl itself has removable yellow lenses and is made using an “innovative multi-layer structure” with gold LED veins running throughout. Admittedly, that is a sharp-looking cowl. Although Batman would probably still argue his is better.
But can I actually wear it – that’s what I want to know. I read the entire product description, but nowhere did it mention whether or not the cowl can actually be worn. That’s kind of important to me. Actually, that’s the only thing that’s important to me. Besides payment plan options. I’m thinking a dollar a week for 23 years.
Since the game’s debut in May, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has seen players craft some incredibly clever and complex machinery. The latest example, though, seems to push the game’s crafting capabilities to a whole new level with the creation of what we think is Hyrule’s first-remote control airplane.
Twitter: it’s a bad place. But even among all the awfulness you can find little gems of goodness and light—gems like the first episode of Silo, which Apple TV+ has released there for free.
