Christopher Nolan keeps a tight inner circle. Michael Caine has appeared in eight of his films. Cillian Murphy played supporting roles in five Nolan flicks before finally getting the starring part in Oppenheimer. Christian Bale proved himself in The Prestige before donning the cape and cowl in the Dark Knight trilogy. In other words, once you're in with Christopher Nolan, you're typically in for life.

First reported by Tom's Hardware, Linux-based gaming just got a massive shot in the arm thanks to developer Noah Cagle. That's right, baby: Hannah Montana Linux is back.

"If you want to," said Cagle in his video about the project, "you can use Hannah Montana Linux as your main day-to-day operating system."
While Musk's Neuralink drills into skulls, China's BrainCo bets the future of brain tech is wearable
Brain-computer interfaces, a nascent technology, establishes a direct link between human minds and devices.

Scanning the internet, I saw a lot of references to hyperpersonalized news and deepfakes. Then there’s this article with four competing scenarios for news generation and control of related media spaces.
Some takes are more doom-and-gloom than others, like this City Magazine piece that predicts “the end of news as we know it” by 2030. A survey from the Institute of Public Relations notes diminishing optimism among respondents, on the longevity of traditional journalism evolving from print media.
