A new theatrical Star Wars movie is on the way — and this time, it actually has a premiere date. At Star Wars Celebration in Japan, Lucasfilm announced Star Wars: Starfighter, a standalone feature that is set five years after The Rise of Skywalker.It’s being directed by Shawn Levy, who most recently directed Deadpool & Wolverine, and will star Ryan Gosling. Production is due to begin this fall, and the movie will hit theaters on May 28th, 2027. The new movie is described as “an entirely new adventure featuring all-new characters set in a period of time that has not been explored on screen yet.”Lucasfilm has struggled to get Star Wars projects into theaters following The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, even though many have either been announced or rumored since then. Levy’s involvement in the Star Wars universe had been rumored for some time. In a blog post, Lucasfilm says that those other projects are still in development, including “films by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, Taika Waititi, and a new trilogy by Simon Kinberg.”Starfighter isn’t the only upcoming Star Wars movie on the schedule however, as it will be preceded by the Mandalorian spinoff The Mandalorian & Grogu, which will hit theaters on May 22nd, 2026.

A class-action lawsuit against the leading PC and printer manufacturer, HP, was filed in October 2021. The lawsuit was granted preliminary approval by a U.S. District judge earlier this month, and while HP isn't admitting to any wrongdoing, it has now agreed to settle the case by paying a $4 million settlement.

Before we get started, let’s settle on a few things — we will be talking about some of the most fantastic single-player experiences that AAA games have given us, and we will list them in no particular order. Moreover, this is a personalized list, so not only am I aware that I will miss quite a few games heralded as masterpieces and G.O.A.T.s, but I’m hoping to keep the conversation going with more additions.

Over the past two decades, I have built multiple PCs, making the most of the budgets and knowledge that I had at the time. From a Pentium 3 pre-built in 2000 to a Core 2 Duo PC with no GPU in 2007, and a Ryzen 5 1600 system in 2017 to a Ryzen 7 5700X rig in 2022, I've gone through quite a lot of PC upgrades. Not all of these were sound decisions (in hindsight, of course).

Rush jobs are an unfortunate part of gaming, whether it’s due to corporate pressure, looming deadlines, or wildly ambitious visions colliding with budget limitations. No matter the reason, it’s never fun to play a game and feel in your bones that it was rushed out the door.

GIMP is a software you'll come across most often when looking for free or open-source alternatives to Photoshop. It does serve as a viable alternative for many creators. However, many forget that GIMP was never developed or intended to be a Photoshop clone.

Turns out “you go girl” feminism wasn’t enough to save this stunt trip.You know, I was simply going to ignore the bizarre Blue Origin stunt flight from earlier this week. But then it flopped beyond my wildest imagination, and so here we all are.Doubtless you know the contours already: Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez, pop star Katy Perry, and four other women did a big space tourism trip in the name of performative femiladyism, wearing “space suits” cut so as to require a pair of Spanx underneath. “We’re going to have lash extensions flying in the capsule,” Sanchez said. “We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut,” Perry said. @lanadelgay98 #katyperry #space #womeninstem @AP Entertainment @Katy Perry ♬ original sound – Avery This promised to be a marketing bonanza for a nation addled by spectacle. What has happened instead has been a shocking amount of backlash. TikToks mocking Katy Perry’s feigned enthusiasm for “astronomy and astrology.” Suggestions the entire trip was faked. Video footage of what appears to be Bezos literally falling on his face in Texas. Did Bezos even really open the capsule door? Proclamations that the flight “showcased the utter defeat of American feminism.” Social media debates about whe …Read the full story at The Verge.

Car buyers have been rushing to US showrooms to lock in deals before potential price hikes. | Photo: Bloomberg via Getty ImagesIf there’s one thing the auto industry hates, it’s uncertainty. When it takes upward of five or six years to bring a new car model to market, a certain administration throwing caution and global goodwill to the wind with a raft of unpredictable tariffs is decidedly bad news. Right now, the US tariff situation is constantly shifting, with limited exceptions being granted for certain manufacturers whose leaders are willing to bend the knee. While there is talk of some potential relief, global auto manufacturers have yet to be given a reprieve from a 25 percent tariff on vehicles assembled outside of the United States. This is an unprecedented situation, both in terms of the severity of the action and the swiftness with which it was enacted. It’s already had immediate impacts, like Audi holding foreign-made vehicles at port, and Jaguar Land Rover suspending all shipments to the US. It remains to be seen which manufacturers will be most affected, but one thing is clear: car shoppers who’d been sitting on the fence about a new purchase are now rushing to their local dealers.  People like Andrew Neuberger, an Atlanta-area resident who works in the automotive software space, had …Read the full story at The Verge.

Microsoft really wants users to move on from Windows 10, and recently, the company suggested that if you have a Windows 10 PC that can't upgrade to Windows 11, you should trade that PC in and buy a new one. But realistically, trading in an old PC might not get you that much of a discount, and there a lot of ways you can make it useful without giving it away.

The most shocking thing about Nvidia's recent RTX 5060 Ti is that it's decent. That hasn't been the case for most of Nvidia's GPU releases this generation, but the RTX 5060 Ti offers decent value at its list price, particularly for the 16GB model. The problem is finding the RTX 5060 Ti at list price.
