September is typically the time when television gets serious again. The summer's biggest TV shows have aired their finales, the fall schedule is kicking into high gear, and streamers are rolling out everything from high-concept sci-fi to prestige dramas. There's plenty of familiar IP in the mix, but also some genuinely original shows worth putting on your to-watch list. While plenty of outlets will tell you what everyone is watching (see:), that's not our goal. As always, the TV shows we're watching this month reflect the kinds of stories WIRED covers every day--shows that explore technology, science, politics, culture, and the sometimes unsettling ways they intersect.

The studio released an official catch-up list ahead of December's release. We've got links to watch every one of the movies if you want to get up to speed. Marvel and Disney+ have issued a stacked watch list for fans ahead of the cinema release of on December 18. The Marvel Cinematic Universe can be complex terrain to navigate. Its 38 movies and 25 series to date span varying superhero plot lines, crossovers, and multiverse action, with the latest release likely to spare no less lore and real fan knowledge.

When the beta arrives next year--15 years after its predecessor-- will have a new momentum engine that makes combat in the game feel closer to an action RPG. Hardly a year goes by without me whistling the loading theme, rewatching clips of the original to soak up that Pre-Searing Ascalon nostalgia, or subjecting my wife to yet another Grawl impression. So you can understand my excitement when the game developer announced earlier this summer, with a beta set to launch in late 2027. I spent countless hours playing in middle school and high school, and an ungodly amount of time playing with my roommates in college. You wouldn't hear anyone talking about it in the school cafeteria like you would the other two titles (I was a Cool Kid).

Tune into live broadcasts from your Windows desktop with Trdo, a free and open-source application. I may be old-fashioned, but I prefer actual radio stations to Spotify's algorithms. The best human DJs find music I'd never seek out, and that even the best recommendation system would never point out to me. Even better: If you're good at finding community and public radio stations that appeal to your tastes, there are no commercials. I've found several of my favorite bands in the past few years listening to radio stations like KEXP, Indie XFM, and the various stations offered by SomaFM . It's simple to listen to such stations in your browser, but leaving a tab open just for the radio annoys me.

At a time of rising worry over AI eliminating jobs and increasing the power of few big companies, Murati's startup, Thinking Machines Lab, offers a radically different vision of the technology.

What to Know About Sony's $7.85 Million PlayStation Settlement Are you eligible for a payout? Probably, but it might take a while and will likely be pretty small.

Last week, a judge approved a preliminary reopening of the settlement.

Here are our recommendations for apps that help you stay focused on the task at hand. And with attention spans crumbling in the TikTok era, we now have an entire category of apps dedicated to helping you stick to what you're supposed to be doing. These apps all work more or less in the same way, giving you a straightforward method of tracking how long you're spending on a task, and offering some sort of incentive to keep going for the allotted amount of time. Sometimes you get a few extra features as well, like the ability to block access to other apps. In the interest of trying to write this specific article without switching between browser tabs and apps every two minutes, I gave three of the best focus tools a try.
