Whether or not Netflix’s $82.6 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. goes through, the deal encapsulates a fraught moment for Hollywood, as the entertainment business is increasingly overshadowed by tech giants. On the latest episode of the Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec and I discussed the deal’s implications, both for Netflix and the larger Hollywood ecosystem. Kirsten noted that it’s just the latest move bringing more consolidation to the media business, and she wondered whether it’s “too big a risk” for Netflix. Meanwhile, I discussed a call with Netflix executives where Wall Street analysts also seemed to be struggling to wrap their…

Postage times go crazy this time of year, but there is still time to buy a new phone and have it arrive before the holidays. Well, not this one. The OnePlus 15 is still “coming soon” – the company’s US site is showing January shipping times. It’s also up on Amazon at the same $900 starting price for the 12/256GB model. Another alternative brand is Nothing – its first flagship isn’t as powerful as we might have hoped, but at least now its price reflects that. And it’s available now. The Nothing Phone (3) has a 6.67” 120Hz…

A new game on Steam is testing the limits of AI in gaming. Codex Mortis offers players a demo of what its developers call “the world’s first fully playable game created 100% through AI,” which has sparked conversations about the role of AI in game development.Developed by GROLAF, Codex Mortis is described as a necromantic survival bullet hell. Players assemble a “death squad” to face waves of demonic enemies while collecting “ancient pages” and avoiding an immortal boss that roams the map. The gameplay loop clearly draws inspiration from the indie hit Vampire Survivors, with a similar focus on continuous…
Who could have predicted that such a methodical game about a deadly barcoded assassin with seemingly unlimited fashion choices would spark one of the most recognizable franchises in gaming history?Looking back over the past 25 years, the team at IO Interactive has every reason to feel proud. While many franchises that debuted in 2000, including Perfect Dark, SSX, Deus Ex, Jet Set Radio, and others, simply faded or stalled, Hitman not only survived but evolved into one of gaming’s most enduring and adaptable worlds.Now, at an event that took place just before The Game Awards 2025, presented by IOI, members…
Improvements to roads, bridges, and other infrastructure could take a hit as data center construction accelerates, according to Bloomberg. In 2025, state and local governments reportedly sold a record amount of debt for the second year in a row, with strategists predicting another $600 billion in sales next year. Most of that money is expected to fund infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, Census Bureau data reportedly shows that private spending on data center construction was running at annualized run rate of more than $41 billion — roughly the same as state and local government spending on transportation construction. All these projects are likely…
As with many iPhone users, I tend to upgrade my phone every two years, but this year felt different.My iPhone 15 Pro Max, outside of some minor battery degradation, was hardly a slouch. Using web apps, running a small business from its 6.7-inch display, and taking family photos was just as easy as it was when I bought the phone in 2023, so for the first time in a while, I didn’t feel like I needed to upgrade to Apple’s latest flagship.And yet, as I’m cursed to write about tech for a living, upgrade I did.
