After spending years of her life training to become an expert swordfighter, Mizu finally sets out to find him so she can run him through with her blade. But with every soldier she cuts down, and her blue eyes already making her stand out amongst the people of Edo-period Japan, she begins to gain notoriety in a way that makes her quest for vengeance more challenging. </p><p>Along her journey, Mizu will make friends (and enemies) with a number of characters, such as an imperiled bride and a cook named Ringo (Masi Oka). Much like the original trailer from a few weeks ago, <em>Blue Eye’s </em>new trailer is mainly a highlight reel of Mizu hacking and slashing her way through underlings in beautifully bloody fashion from French animation studio Blue Spirit. If you’ve watched any revenge story (whether or not it involved samurai), you probably won’t be too surprised by whatever happens over the eight-episode season, but it seems like you’ll surely be entertained by all the violence. </p><p>Also starring Ming-Na Wen, Randall Park, Stephanie Hsu, and George Takei, <em>Blue Eye Samurai </em>will make its way to Netflix on November 3.</p><hr></hr><p>  <em>Want more io9 news?

The executive shared a screenshot, picture above, that shows a drop-down menu where you can switch over to look at the verified accounts in all their glory. </p><p>The real question is why you, an Instagram user, would ever want to do that. In the past, verification was a sign that the social media gods had decided an account was notable. Now, it’s just a sign that someone has disposable income and is willing to use it to spread their posts. </p><p>Meta Verified is a $11.99-a-month service that the company pitches as a way to “establish your account’s authenticity,â€ boasting extra perks like more security protections and access to exclusive features. What Meta doesn’t mention as explicitly is something that social media grifters know all too well: just like on Twitter (a.k.a. X), a blue checkmark on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads comes with extra attention from the algorithm, making it more likely that people will see your content.</p><p>Of course, the old verification regime was no paradise. Elon Musk once chastised Twitter’s blue-check establishment as a “lords and peasants system.â€ He had a point. Before the billionaire’s tenure, Twitter was divided into a landscape of haves and have-nots. Verified accounts always got more views and dominated the conversation. The checkmark was a sign that you had “arrived,â€ in one way or another, deservedly or not. There were plenty of well-deserving users who never got the nod, and plenty of verifications were handed out as personal favors to friends of employees and other people who didn’t seem to add much to the discourse.</p><p>But while Musk had genuine complaints, he’s made it clear that charging for verification was really just about making a few extra dollars. Once the dust settled on Musk’s plan, <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https://gizmodo.com/facebook-instagram-meta-blue-badges-zuckerberg-1850139504&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://gizmodo.com/facebook-instagram-meta-blue-badges-zuckerberg-1850139504\">Meta quickly followed</a></span> suit. Facebook and Instagram (followed later by Threads) abandoned their traditional verification systems, turning them into paid services and proving that <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https://gizmodo.com/facebook-instagram-verified-elon-musk-was-right-twitter-1850139933&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://gizmodo.com/facebook-instagram-verified-elon-musk-was-right-twitter-1850139933\">Musk’s idea made business sense</a></span>, at least in the short term. </p><p>Musk’s verification changes made a dramatic adjustment to Twitter’s algorithm, filling users’ feeds with posts from his new army of sycophants. Not only are you more likely to see posts from verified X users you don’t even follow, but their comments show up at the top when you drill in to look at the post and get a feel for the discourse. These are not maverick posters, social media stars, or public figures.  They’re just people who spent $8 for the privilege of a megaphone.</p><p>The consequences are far more significant than a less satisfying scroll, however. A recent study found that seven verified accounts on X are <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https://gizmodo.com/these-accounts-control-twitters-israel-hamas-news-1850946257&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://gizmodo.com/these-accounts-control-twitters-israel-hamas-news-1850946257\">controlling the news about Israel and Palestine</a></span> on the platform. These so-called “New Elitesâ€ of Twitter generated 1.6 billion views in the first three days after the Hamas attacks on October 7th, ten times more engagement than the most popular news accounts from the likes of the BBC, the New York Times, and Reuters combined. These aren’t reporters broadcasting their boots-on-the-ground citizen journalism. They’re just people reposting context-free information that they scrape from other news sources, generally with little to no effort spent on verifying the information. </p><p>Add that to other research which shows that <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://www.newsguardtech.com/misinformation-monitor/october-2023/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://www.newsguardtech.com/misinformation-monitor/october-2023/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">verified users produce 74% of the misinformation</a></span> on X, which then spreads to the rest of the internet, and you’ve got crisis levels of low-quality information flooding the world’s primary channels of communication.</p><p>Meta and X could discover that people don’t like these changes and reverse course, but that isn’t how things have gone in the past in the past. Take the News Feed. Originally, Facebook was just a collection of profile pages you’d visit when you wanted to see specific friend’s content. But in 2006, the website moved the primary experience of the platform to an algorithmic feed—a move that was actually copied from Twitter, which made a similar change just months earlier. It caused a revolt. Users hated the change, but the algorithmic feed was stickier. The News Feed kept people glued to their screens and made the company more money, and Facebook stuck to its guns. <br></br></p><p>Instagram offers a more recent example. In 2022, the app was in serious decline, in part because of competition from TikTok. In classic Meta fashion, Instagram copied many of TikTok’s most successful features, including filling the app with more video content and posts from accounts users don’t follow. Over the next few months, there was an international protest to “<span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https://gizmodo.com/make-instagram-again-meme-kylie-jenner-tati-bruening-1849348057&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://gizmodo.com/make-instagram-again-meme-kylie-jenner-tati-bruening-1849348057\">Make Instagram Instagram Again</a></span>,â€ drawing support from the likes of Kim Kardashian and other celebrities. It was a lost cause; the new Instagram is here to stay.<br></br></p><p>In all likelihood, the rise of paid blue-checked content boosts will be permanent too. Meta, in general, moves more carefully than its would-be competitors at X. Instagram and Facebook users are far more likely to see boosted content from accounts they don’t follow, but the feeds aren’t nearly as compromised as they are on Twitter. If Instagram’s latest experiment proves a success, and the company learns it can get away with a new channel to encourage people to hand over cash, expect to see a lot more blue checks in the near future. </p></div>', 'On Monday, Instagram announced it’s testing a feed that only shows posts from verified accounts.

In fact, you should probably buy dumb ones—as long as you have the option.</p><h2 id=\"h40833\"><a id=\"\"></a>Lack of privacy</h2><p>Manufacturers love smart appliances. Not because they love giving you new features and more control, but because they can hoover up an enormous amount of your personal data and use it for their own purposes and/or sell it to third parties, who will weaponize it against you in the form of targeted advertising. Consumer Reports found that common “smartâ€ kitchen appliances from big companies were sending <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/privacy/smart-appliances-and-privacy-a1186358482/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/privacy/smart-appliances-and-privacy-a1186358482/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">up to 19MB of data</a></span> back to the mothership every week. Some of that data certainly has to do with the operation and functioning of the appliance, but a lot of it is just about your habits, and some manufacturers also use data from other sources to enhance what they know about you.</p><p>The most important aspect of this is that you have no idea what’s being tracked and transmitted, or what it’s actually used for. And the benefit to you is arguably minimal. Yes, in theory, data you generate might contribute to a new feature that’s downloaded to your appliance, or a bug fix, but people used dumb appliances for decades without such nebulous benefits.</p><h2 id=\"h40834\"><a id=\"\"></a>Lack of control</h2><p>Appliance manufacturers are in the business of selling you new appliances. While they may not purposefully make your appliance obsolete, they’re not particularly worried about it happening, either. And smart appliances can stop working for reasons that have everything to do with being “smart.â€ Some models have features that will only work with an Internet connection, so if you ever decide to cut off the data streams—or if the wifi chip in your oven fails—you might find your appliance less useful.</p><p>Another potential problem? Company failure. If the company that makes your appliance goes out of business, or shuts down the division that sold your appliance model, it might make your appliance unusable—what’s called “bricking.â€ A bricked appliance is still in perfect working order, but since it can no longer communicate with its mothership, it simply refuses to work. And sometimes this can happen just because of the march of technology—millions of older smart devices will no longer work once the older 2G and 3G networks shut down, and if the manufacturer doesn’t continuously update the software that makes them work, <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64249388&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64249388\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">they could stop working</a></span> or become security risks for you. That’s a scenario likely to repeat over the years.</p><h2 id=\"h40835\"><a id=\"\"></a>Higher operating costs</h2><p>Smart appliances tend to cost a bit more, because they offer features and functionality that “dumbâ€ appliances can’t.

There’s also a new feature to transfer your information to other platforms. <br></br></p><p>However, it’s the new “Activity Off-Meta Technologiesâ€ setting I want to highlight here. But first, a little backstory: When you leave Instagram to browse other sites and use other apps, the companies that manage those platforms collect your data. Sometimes, they send that data to Meta, and that data can be linked back to your Instagram profile. It’s how these services keep tabs on you to better serve you ads—the ultimate goal of the money-making internet.</p><p>The new Activity Off-Meta Technology setting allows you to control this data other companies send to Meta. This option used to be known as “off-Facebook activity,â€ and it worked about the same, only for data connected to your Facebook account. Now, Meta is rolling Instagram into this setting, hence the “Metaâ€ in the name.</p><p>You’ll find these new options, once they land in your account, under the Accounts Center in your Instagram settings. Here, you’ll be able to review any recent activity connected to your account, disconnect specific activity, clear previous activity, and manage future activity.As long as Meta makes money on ads and data collection, it won’t be a privacy-first company. But tools like this are important to take advantage of when you can, so you can grab back <em>some</em> of the personal information we’ve all given away in the digital age.</p></div></div>', 'It’s tough to use the internet without being tracked, but it’s not impossible.

(433, 'What People Are Getting Wrong This Week: The Dead Internet Theory Isnt Real, I Swear', '<div><p>Is the internet dead? Proponents of the Dead Internet Theory believe that the internet, as we understand it, doesn’t exist. It died around 2016, and since then, everything we see online, from Instagram pictures to this post on Lifehacker, has been generated by artificial intelligence and fed to consumers by a shadowy cabal of corporate CEOs and governments in order to control people’s thoughts and keep them consuming. They’re partly right, but the things they get wrong are dangerous.<br></br></p><h2 id=\"h24302\"><a id=\"\"></a><strong>The history of the Dead Internet Theory</strong></h2><p>Ground zero for the spread of the Dead Internet theory is a <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/26274842/#26275127&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/26274842/#26275127\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">September 2019 thread on 4chan</a></span> where anonymous users put their heads together to try to figure out how much of the internet is legit. They concluded that it’s almost all fake, but it used to be real. The evidence on the thread is internet-spotty—younger people having the feelings that something just isn’t right, older users remembering the glory days of the early Internet—but 4chan’s posters managed to draw a rough sketch of a conversation that’s been going on in academic and technology circles since at least 2010. Anyone paying attention could see that advances in AI technology and the rise of content-curating algorithms are changing the internet from a digital Wild West to something “safer,â€ blander, and perhaps more sinister. But the transformation isn’t complete, and it’s not evidence of a top-down imposition of “The Man’sâ€ sinister plans, as most Dead Internet Theory people believe.</p><p>The problem with the Dead Internet Theory isn’t that it’s totally wrong—bots and algorithms really are changing the online experience in fundamental ways—but some proponents of the dead internet theory are ignoring context and drawing unwarranted conclusions to support a larger narrative that isn’t supported by evidence—like any conspiracy theory. Also like any conspiracy theory, the dead internet theory is being used to justify prejudice and hatred.</p><h2 id=\"h24303\"><a id=\"\"></a><strong>The internet is this way because people like it this way</strong><br></br></h2><p>It’s easy to wax nostalgic for the days when anything could be posted anywhere on the internet. It was free! It wasn’t designed to sell you things! But people who do this weren’t there, or they’re viewing what there was like through rose-colored glasses. In reality, the online world, as a whole, is going through a larger version of the process that just about every internet space has always gone through when it gained popularity. </p><p>It goes like this: Some small group gathers somewhere to exchange ideas in a totally free, anything goes environment. It’s cool, but messy—lots of new, challenging ideas, but no real means of filtering them. </p><p>The space eventually gets noticed by more people, and some of these newbies are bad actors—spammers, trolls, or worse—and their conversations and ideas starts to crowd out the original posters and the space becomes unpleasant and unusable.</p><p>This leaves the people who run the site with a choice: They can either hold to the ideals of “free speechâ€ and let everyone be free to do what they want, or they can impose some rules and organization to try to preserve what people originally liked about the space.</p><p>Neither option is great. If they take a hands-off approach, the space becomes the property of the trolls and bad actors, driving the original population elsewhere (see: 4chan). If they moderate and put up safety rails, they lose the freedom that made the place interesting to begin with, and the space ends up a watered-down, dumber place. It’s welcoming to new users, as long as they’re non-controversial (see: Reddit).</p><p>The problem is, those “new usersâ€ who prefer safety and security over anarchy represent almost everyone. I think it’s fair to say that most people would pick an algorithmically curated feed of “videos that I would probably likeâ€ on YouTube over being left in the middle of GeoCities and told “dig something useful out of this gigantic mountain of crap.â€ </p><h2 id=\"h24304\"><a id=\"\"></a><strong>The existence of the dead internet theory proves it’s false</strong></h2><p>If there were really a central power controlling everything on the internet, you’d think videos and articles explaining the Dead Internet Theory would be excluded by the algorithm, lest the sheeple finally wake up. But it’s not hard to find information about the grand plan (or any other conspiracy theory) because people can make money from it in a way that they can’t make money from hate-speech and trolling.<br></br></p><p>For believers, conspiracy theories are enraging without being challenging. The anger over the unfairness of the bad people in control of our lives is addictive, and algorithms have been fine-tuned to keep people watching and clicking. That creepy science forces us all into smaller and smaller ideological echo chambers, but there’s no central power looking down on us and saying, “Good! Now they’ll be compliant!â€ There’s just us, and our prejudices and our messiness, and the people profiting off us by giving us exactly what we want.</p><h2 id=\"h24305\"><a id=\"\"></a><strong>The rise of the NPC</strong></h2><p>One of the harmful offshoots of the Dead Internet theory is the idea of the NPC. Taken from the initials of “non-player character,â€ darker, dumber corners of the internet have been describing people they disagree with as NPCs since the meme first appeared on 4chan (of course) in 2016. According to the theory, most people aren’t fully human. Instead of thinking for themselves, they’re programmed to “follow group-think and social trends in order to appear convincingly human.â€</p><p>While most people who started thinking of others as NPCs meant it in the “they’re just brainwashed sheepleâ€ sense that’s so common among stupid people with “ideas,â€ some Dead Internet Theory conspiracy theorists take it literally. They believe that anyone who disagrees with them online is an AI. Dehumanizing ideological enemies is a troubling step toward political violence, but in the Dead Internet sense it’s also a contradiction. If you long for the freedom of ideas that you think the internet once stood for, why would you not welcome people with challenging ideas? If you like freedom, why create a worldview where waving away inconvenient facts is easy as saying “that’s just what the machines <em>want</em> you to believe!â€</p><h2 id=\"h24306\"><a id=\"\"></a><strong>Solipsism and the Dead Internet</strong></h2><p>At its core, the Dead Internet Theory is a kind of digital solipsism—the idea that the self is the only thing that exists. Solipsism can’t really be disproven, but it’s hard to take seriously when you’re talking to another flesh-and-blood person. If you perpetually live online, where tools already exist for computers to fool most of the people, most of the time, it’s easy to believe that those tools are being employed always. They aren’t—I’m a real guy who really wrote these words—but as more and more of the human element of the internet is replaced by computer programs, the terrifying vision of a Dead Internet may come to exist. But we have at least six months, so don’t sweat it.<br></br></p></div>', 'Is the internet dead? Proponents of the Dead Internet Theory believe that the internet, as we understand it, doesn’t exist.

The diagrams all show extremely well-muscled individuals, apparently free of body fat. No matter how good an exercise program there is, I suspect there’s no way it’s going to make me look like a Superman cartoon.<br></br></p><p>Each lesson is supposed to add on to the previous one, and you practice every exercise every day. I don’t have twelve weeks to spend on this, so on the first day I do the first two lessons (biceps and triceps). I add on a few more  each day, until soon I’m doing the full set of eleven lessons. (The twelfth is a wrap-up that talks about maintaining strength, and also provides a handy chart of all the exercises we’ve learned so far.)</p><p>In lesson three, I flex my forearms while standing in a bunny hop pose. In lesson five, I contract my pecs in three different ways by crossing my arms in front of me. In lesson seven, I learn to suck in my stomach and do a hollow body hold. I clench my buttocks in lesson nine, stand on my tiptoes in lesson 10, and strike a fancy bodybuilding pose in lesson 11.</p><p>My legs cramp up in some of the calf and hamstring exercises. Not to worry, Tom says; just walk it out. Tom also keeps up our enthusiasm for the program with stories of how strong people have more fun: </p><blockquote data-type=\"BlockQuote\"><p>When two men start jostling with each other the superior leg strength of one becomes immediately evident. And quite often it is the little fellow who manhandles the bully. I am thinking now of the situation where one man tries to throw the other fellow into a body of water.

Here the sheer total strength of one man against the other comes forth with complete disregard for any learned skills of combat.</p></blockquote><p>Once I know the exercises, I can run through the full workout in about 12 minutes. I do it standing in my kitchen, where the needed equipment is close at hand: a dish towel to squeeze for the grip exercises, and a chair for a few things that are seated. At one point I am supposed to thread a broomstick through the rungs of a ladder so I can pull down on a bar at three different heights. Instead, I just place my hands on high, medium, and low shelves.<br></br></p><p>And, yes, I’m still a little bit sore each morning.

Maybe I <em>can</em> become a muscled Greek god in twelve weeks.</p><h3 id=\"h41491\"><a id=\"\"></a>Will vintage exercises work?</h3><p>Tom Buckley cites some very specific research in his introductory Q&amp;A, explaining that the idea of six-second daily contractions comes from Erich Müller of the Max Planck Institute. Müller’s older papers don’t seem to be available online, but <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00140135908930427&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00140135908930427\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">this 1959 article</a></span> (paywall) sums up his findings. Buckley wasn’t distorting them at all: Müller says you only need to contract a muscle once per day, and that if you switch to once per week you will lose muscle less rapidly when you stop training. (According to Buckley, you should switch to weekly training when you seem to hit your natural limit.)   </p><blockquote data-type=\"BlockQuote\"><p>Some men develop fast, others more slowly. Some reach maximum development in two to three months, while others may take a year, or more. You will quickly see which category you are in after the first few weeks.</p></blockquote><p>But Müller doesn’t address Buckley’s more drastic claims: do you really improve by 4 percent every week? And that means you can gain 50 percent more strength in just a 12 week period, isn’t that so?<br></br></p><p>For those answers, we need to pop forward in our time machine to 1981, when John Atha of the Loughborough University of Technology put together <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;http://journals.lww.com/acsm-essr/Citation/1981/01000/Strengthening_Muscle.1.aspx&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"http://journals.lww.com/acsm-essr/Citation/1981/01000/Strengthening_Muscle.1.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">this review of approaches to strength training</a></span> (sorry, another paywall). He writes: “The idea that so trivial a training investment could yield such a sound strength return, and that years of dedicated resistance work, lifting weights totalling 1,000 or more tons each year, was needless effort, created tremors in the solid foundations of the strength establishment that, a generation later, have still barely settled.â€</p><p>But the promises were not to be. Rather than a 4 percent increase every week, later research adjusted the claims to a 1.8 percent increase. Then researchers in 1960 “drew attention to the fragile structure of conclusions based on observations of 71 alternative ways of training only nine subjects.â€ </p><p>That still sounds pretty good, but the real nail in the coffin was this. Instead of reaching maximum strength in months or a year, as Buckley stated, it turns out people who do isometric exercises stop improving after two to five weeks. If you’re fit to start with, you’re on the two-week end of the spectrum. If you start out as a weakling, you might increase your strength by 10 percent at first. But five weeks is your limit: more time on the program won’t bring you any more gains. You’re done.<strong> </strong></p><blockquote data-type=\"BlockQuote\"><p>Well my friend, I hope you have enjoyed the course as much as I have enjoyed preparing it for you. ...may you continue to improve in strength, power, and physique perfection.

The routine is an easy 12 minutes that works every muscle without breaking a sweat, so it’s handy for days I can’t get to the gym. I could stick the chart in my suitcase next time I travel.<br></br></p><p>But the overall promises, of getting those massive arms and giant-sized chest, are hollow.

(437, '25 Modern Christmas Classics You Can Stream Right Now', '<div><p>Christmas movies have been a tradition for decades, but the days when we had to watch George Bailey try to jump off of a bridge year after year are well past us. Holiday movies are an industry in and of themselves, with dozens, if not hundreds of new seasonal offerings released starting around June. Most of them are cozy, Christmas cookie-cutter offerings, relaxing and largely disposable. But still, classics do emerge. With an entirely arbitrary two-decade cut-off, we’re taking a look at modern masterpieces of the form.<br></br></p><p>Luckily, the Christmas genre runs wide and deep: silly comedies, cozy dramas, gruesome horrors, queer romances, and surprisingly literal adaptations of Wham! songs. It’s all here!</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40554\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Elf</em> (2003)</h4><p>A Will Ferrell comedy about a human who identifies as a literal elf has no business being this sweet and smart. Ferrell is Buddy, a kid who was accidentally shipped off to the North Pole as a child, and now he’s off to New York during the holiday season to find his biological father (James Caan). The impressive cast here (Ed Asner, Zooey Deschanel, Peter Dinklage, Bob Newhart) doesn’t hurt one bit.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Max</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40555\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Tokyo Godfathers</em> (2003)</h4><p>Roughly inspired by John Ford’s 1948 <em>3 Godfathers</em>, this one finds a drag queen, a teenage runaway, and a good-hearted middle-aged man struggling with alcoholism living on the streets of Tokyo when they come across a baby in a trash bin on Christmas Eve. The lovely, moving adventure that follows comes from director Satoshi Kon, who also directed classics <em>Perfect Blue</em>, <em>Millennium Actress</em>, and <em>Paprika</em> in his too-short life and career. </p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Tubi, The Roku Channel, Hoopla, Pluto TV</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40556\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Love Actually</em> (2003)</h4><p>Starting a few weeks before the holiday and counting down to the big day, the modern Christmas staple movie weaves together multiple stories of love starring British familiars like Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Keira Knightley, and Colin Firth. If anyone’s ever professed love to you via a series of cue cards on your doorstep, you can thank (or blame) <em>Love Actually</em>.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Netflix</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40557\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Bad Santa</em> (2003)</h4><p>2003 was a banner year for modern Christmas classics, in any flavor you’d choose. The platonic ideal of a rude Christmas movie, Terry Zwigoff’s <em>Bad Santa</em> stars Billy Bob Thornton as Willie Soke, a mall Santa who’s actually a con man, using his seasonal gigs to scope out stores that he can rob at night. He represents everything that you probably don’t want your kid to be around during the holidays (or anytime, really): He’s foul-mouthed, cynical, and abusive whenever he’s not putting on the merest hint of a front for the children. The film does offer a solid Christmas redemption arc in and around scenes of seasonal debauchery—but still, this probably isn’t one for the kids.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Paramount+</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40558\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>The Polar Express</em> (2004)</h4><p>You might find this journey into the uncanny valley a little unnerving, which: fair. The animation style here is either beautiful and groundbreaking, or deeply creepy, and probably a bit of both. Still, the journey of a doubting young boy to the North Pole has timeless messages about the value of childhood wonder, and the slightly bittersweet ending balances the movie’s moments of holiday schmaltz.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Max</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40559\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Joyeux Noël</em> (2005)</h4><p>A fictionalized version of a true story, this Academy Award nominee deals with an unusual moment during the first year of World War I, when, at several points along the front lines, French, German, and British soldiers called a series of informal truces, often mingling to celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The German Crown Prince even sent the lead singer of the Berlin opera to perform along the front lines, entertaining both sides. In dramatizing the event, the filmmakers understand that the truce was both glorious and absurd. Those complicated feelings, and the knowledge that what we’re seeing represents a momentary lull in a war that would continue for years, make for powerful emotional moments.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Tubi</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40560\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>The Family Stone</em> (2005)</h4><p>Holiday gatherings always offer great potential for comedy and drama, with The Family Stone landing a bit of each. The setup involves Dermot Mulroney bringing home his new girlfriend, played by a fearlessly brittle Sarah Jessica Parker, for Christmas. That doesn’t go great, with the visitor constantly feeling out of place and embarrassed amid the insular, tight-knit, standoffish clan. But, in the background, strong-willed matriarch Sybil Stone (Diane Keaton) is also looking for an opportunity, amidst the holiday chaos, to reveal a terminal medical diagnosis. The subtle final shot lands like a sledgehammer every time.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Fubo</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40561\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>The Holiday</em> (2006)</h4><p>Depressed Englishwoman Iris (Kate Winslet) decides to swap homes and lives, for a bit, with similarly unlucky-in-love Californian Amanda (Cameron Diaz). Iris is now living in a giant Hollywood mansion, while Amanda is exploring a quaint country village. Naturally, romance is waiting for each woman in her newfound environs. It was largely ignored on its initial release, but has grown into a charmingly dorky Christmas cult classic.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Hulu, Starz</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40562\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale</em> (2010)</h4><p>In the film, the research team of a greedy government drills into land best left undisturbed: an ancient burial mound that, legends suggest, is the resting place of Joulupukki, a pagan forerunner to our modern Santa Claus. BAD IDEA. Old Joulupukki is not dissimilar from Krampus, in that he’s much more interested in punishing the wicked than in rewarding the good. It’s an action-packed, darkly comic, cynical winter’s tale (rather the perfect one for our times) and builds to a wild climax.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Peacock, Tubi, Kanopy, Redbox, Pluto TV</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40563\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Arthur Christmas</em> (2011)</h4><p>Aardman Animations, the <em>Wallace and Gromit/Shaun the Sheep</em> people, produced this joyful, quirky computer-animated family film. James McAvoy plays Arthur Claus, son of the current holder of the Santa title. Operations at the North Pole are largely automated, and Arthur has a hard time convincing management that a single undelivered toy is worth much fuss. So it’s clumsy, goofy Arthur to the rescue, with the certain knowledge that ruining even one kid’s holiday would be a failure.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Max</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40564\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>The Best Man Holiday</em> (2013)</h4><p>The long-awaited sequel to 1999\'s <em>The Best Man</em>, this one quickly updates us on the fallout from that earlier film before moving into new territory (it’s not strictly necessary to have seen the original if you’re looking to dive straight into the holiday festivities). Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Regina Hall, Terrence Howard, and Sanaa Lathan lead the sequel, which offers a bold blend of off-color humor, hot shirtless guys, sincere religious themes, and shamelessly heartbreaking plot twists. </p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Peacock</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40565\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Tangerine</em> (2015)</h4><p>Just your typical  girlfriend/buddy/revenge comedy movie about two trans sex workers on the hunt for the man who did one of them wrong. As heartfelt as it is madcap, it all takes place on a wild Christmas Eve in Hollywood (so don’t expect snow). Shot on a couple of iPhones, director Sean Baker and company make a virtue of the intimacy and immediacy that modern technology can bring.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Mubi, Kanopy, Hoopla, Plex</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40566\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Carol</em> (2015)</h4><p>Mara Rooney’s Therese and Cate Blanchett’s glamorous Carol set off sparks when they meet in a department store during the Christmas season of 1952. The women suffer for their growing attraction, and this certainly isn’t the breeziest of holiday movies, but there’s light here, and beauty, and hope for the future.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Netflix</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40567\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>The Night Before</em> (2015)</h4><p>What else are you gonna do Christmas Eve than spend the night with your best friends (Seth Rogan, Anthony Mackie, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) at something called the Nutcracker Ball? Yeah, sounds awful to me, too. Luckily they’ve got a ton of drugs to get them through the night. A reliably entertaining stoner Christmas story.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Tubi</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40568\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Krampus</em> (2015)</h4><p>Among the best of a decade’s worth of films reviving ancient, scary European traditions involving far less jolly versions of Santa, Krampus is a Gremlins-esque horror comedy with imaginative creature effects from the folx over at Weta Workshop. It might not be the darkest, nor the goriest, of holiday-themed horror sendups, but it is an awful lot of fun, with effects that evoke a twisted winter wonderland as we follow a family being hunted by the title demon.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Peacock</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40569\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Anna and the Apocalypse</em> (2017)</h4><p>Zombies for Christmas? OK! In this mash-up of <em>High School Musical</em> and <em>Shaun of the Dead </em>that you never knew you needed, the titular Anna just wants to get through the Christmas show at her high school in Little Haven, Scotland. She’s so preoccupied with her own problems that she fails to notice the undead infection spreading around her. It’s a weird blend of styles, no question, but one packed with gory fun, musical numbers, and some surprising, seasonally appropriate heart. </p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Shudder</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40570\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>The Man Who Invented Christmas</em> (2017)</h4><p>There are plenty of versions of <em>A Christmas Carol</em> to choose from, but this one examines that tale from the other side. It’s the story of Charles Dickens himself (Dan Stevens) and his journey to creating the wildly successful work. Dodging typical biopic tropes in favor of something more appropriate to the subject matter, the movie finds Dickens interacting with his fictional characters in a film that blends realism with whimsical fantasy.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Starz, Kanopy, Hoopla</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40571\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>The Grinch</em> (2018)</h4><p>Though I might still stick with the 1966 animated version (Boris Karloff FTW), as updates go, this 2018 version is bright and colorful and energetic without getting stressful (looking at you, Jim Carrey version from 2000). Benedict Cumberbatch plays the Grinch, Pharrell narrates, and Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, and Angela Lansbury round out the solid voice cast.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Peacock</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40572\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>The Christmas Chronicles</em> (2018)</h4><p>A deeply cute Christmas adventure finds a couple of kids (Judah Lewis and Darby Camp) accidentally crashing Santa’s sleigh (Santa here is played by Kurt Russell). It’s got plenty of (family-friendly) action, and Russell seems to be having a ton of fun. If you like this one, the sequel is approximately as good.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Netflix</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40573\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Last Christmas</em> (2019)</h4><p>Emilia Clarke and America’s sweetheart Henry Golding have tremendous chemistry as a down-on-her-luck aspiring singer and the slightly mysterious man with whom she shares a lovely and inspiring holiday season. The twist ending here, inspired by a literal reading of the title song, is <em>bonkers</em>—but it works better than it has a right to.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Prime Video</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40574\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Klaus</em> (2019)</h4><p>A charming Santa origin story based on nothing in particular, <em>Klaus</em> finds Jesper Johansen, the lazy son of a postmaster general in 19th century Norway forced to a distant island town where he’s tasked with delivering 6,000 letters within a year, otherwise he’ll be cut off from the family fortune. Arriving there, he discovers the two primary feuding families can’t be bothered to send letters for him to deliver, but that reclusive widower Klaus <em>might</em> be willing to help him in a scheme he’s concocted to convince the town’s children to write letters in the hopes of receiving toys in return—toys crafted by old Klaus in hope of a family that never materialized. It’s all beautifully done, and I defy you not to cry during the final act.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Netflix</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40575\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Little Women</em> (2019)</h4><p>Before <em>Barbie</em>, Greta Gerwig took on an American classic and, while I’m not sure there’s ever been a bad adaptation of <em>Little Women</em>, this one is at the top of the pile, staying faithful to the novel’s themes while rearranging the narrative just a bit, and adding elements from Alcott’s own life to hint at the ending that the author <em>really</em> wanted.</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40576\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Happiest Season</em> (2020)</h4><p>This splashy Christmas comedy with a marquee cast (Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, et al.) sits somewhere on the border between Lifetime/Hallmark-style Christmas movie and traditional rom-com. Abby and Harper are a couple that have been dating for nearly a year—but  it turns out that Harper had lied about coming out to her parents. And, what with the stress of the holidays, she’s hoping that Abby will play along and pretend to be her roommate until after Christmas. What could go wrong?</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Hulu</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40577\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Jingle Jangle</em> (2020)</h4><p>This one’s a straight-up fantasy that finds toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Forest Whitaker) inventing a sentient matador figure (Ricky Martin) who fights for his right to be something other than a mass-produced toy. That sets off a series of misfortunes for Jeronicus, but his granddaughter Journey (Madalen Mills) is on hand to try to put things right. The pedigree here includes playwright David E. Talbert in the director’s chair and an almost all-Black cast that includes Whitaker, Keegan-Michael Key, and Anika Noni Rose, all having a lot of fun in a colorful (and musical!) adventure.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Netflix</p><hr></hr><h4 id=\"h40578\"><a id=\"\"></a><em>Single All the Way</em> (2021)</h4><p>Sick of questions about being single, Peter (Michael Urie) decides to invite his best friend Nick (Philemon Chambers) to pose as more than his roommate. He’s in a high-stress L.A. job, and heading home for the holidays in New Hampshire and just can’t deal with cracks about being single. His mom (Kathy Najimy), though, already had plans to fix him up with her fitness instructor (Luke Macfarlane). Now James has to navigate not only his family obligations and his new date, but also his developing feelings for the guy who was just supposed to be a pretend romance.</p><p><strong>Where to stream:</strong> Netflix</p></div>', 'Christmas movies have been a tradition for decades, but the days when we had to watch George Bailey try to jump off of a bridge year after year are well past us.

We’re going to talk about everything you need to grow as a beginner, from lights, to tools, to fully automated setups.</p><h2 id=\"h35851\"><a id=\"\"></a><strong>Gather your goods</strong></h2><p>You can do one plant at a time, or up to six plants in a medium-sized tent. Indoor cannabis can be grown in a soil medium like any other plant, or it can be grown hydroponically with just water. The gear you purchase will depend on these choices, but lights, nutrients, pruning shears, a fan, and possibly a dehumidifier and portable heater are non-negotiable necessities.</p><p>Some gear suggestions:<br></br></p><ul data-style=\"Bullet\" data-type=\"List\"><li><span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://zdcs.link/drel6&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://zdcs.link/drel6\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Grow tent</a></span></li><li><span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://zdcs.link/BYM54&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://zdcs.link/BYM54\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Grow light</a></span></li><li><span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://zdcs.link/gkvd0&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://zdcs.link/gkvd0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dehumidifier </a></span></li><li><span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://zdcs.link/kkBv0&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://zdcs.link/kkBv0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nutrients</a></span></li></ul><figure contenteditable=\"false\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-height=\"1359\" data-hide=\"false\" data-id=\"eea1c8a148aba2476e5a00fed908e0cf\" data-lightbox=\"true\" data-recommend-id=\"image://eea1c8a148aba2476e5a00fed908e0cf\" data-recommended=\"false\" data-width=\"1125\" draggable=\"false\"><div contenteditable=\"false\" data-hide=\"false\" data-hidecredit=\"false\" data-imagerights=\"in-house-art\" data-link-reference=\"\" data-link-target=\"\" data-syndicationrights=\"true\"><p><span><div><picture><source data-srcset=\"https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fit,q_60,w_645/eea1c8a148aba2476e5a00fed908e0cf.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 37.31em)\" srcset=\"R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" type=\"image/jpeg\"></source><source data-srcset=\"https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fit,q_60,w_490/eea1c8a148aba2476e5a00fed908e0cf.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 37.37em)\" srcset=\"R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" type=\"image/jpeg\"></source><img alt=\"Image for article titled How to Grow (Good) Weed Indoors\" data-alt=\"Image for article titled How to Grow (Good) Weed Indoors\" data-anim-src=\"\" data-chomp-id=\"eea1c8a148aba2476e5a00fed908e0cf\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-src=\"https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fit,q_60,w_645/eea1c8a148aba2476e5a00fed908e0cf.jpg\" src=\"R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\"></img></picture></div></span></p><p><figcaption>Photo: Danielle Guercio</figcaption></p></div><span data-format=\"jpg\" data-height=\"1359\" data-hide=\"false\" data-id=\"eea1c8a148aba2476e5a00fed908e0cf\" data-lightbox=\"true\" data-recommend-id=\"image://eea1c8a148aba2476e5a00fed908e0cf\" data-recommended=\"false\" data-width=\"1125\"></span></figure><p>Retailers like Amazon offer grow kits, which the storefronts often pretend are not for cannabis (even though we all know full well that they are), but you’ll want to research reviews thoroughly to be sure the gear matches with your needs, like space, grow environment, etc.<br></br></p><p>Bundles: </p><ul data-style=\"Bullet\" data-type=\"List\"><li><span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://zdcs.link/VYVxg&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://zdcs.link/VYVxg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">DIY grow kit </a></span></li><li><span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://zdcs.link/qePLy&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://zdcs.link/qePLy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Self-assemble kit</a></span></li></ul><p>One approach, if you have the funds, is to buy an automated grow box, which is a class of innovation-based electronic devices meant to create perfect conditions and give you notifications for tasks, and are perfect for beginners.</p><p>Self-contained and app-directed growing devices take a lot of the guesswork out of the process.

Despite attempts to introduce different, exotic-sounding systems like planar magnetic, electrostatic and even bone conduction, most IEMs or in-ear headphones still use either balanced armature or dynamic drivers. But there’s another contender, promising high fidelity, low power consumption and a tiny physical footprint. The twist is, it’s a technology that’s been in your pocket for 10 years already.</p><p>We’re talking about micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), and it’s a technology that’s been used in almost every microphone in every cell phone since the 2010s. When applied to headphone drivers (the inverse of a microphone), the benefits are many. But until recently, the technology wasn’t mature enough for mainstream headphones. California-based xMEMS is one company pushing the technology and consumer products featuring its solid-state MEMS drivers are finally coming to market. We tested the high-end Oni from Singularity, but Creative has also confirmed a set of TWS headphones with xMEMS drivers will be available in time for the holidays.</p><p>Where conventional speakers and drivers typically use magnets and coils, MEMS uses piezos and silicon. The result, if the hype is to be believed, is something that’s more responsive, more durable and with consistent fidelity. And unlike balanced-armature or dynamic, MEMS drivers can be built on a production line with minimal-to-no need for calibration or driver matching, streamlining their production. xMEMS, for example, has partnered with TSMC, one of the largest producers of microprocessors for its manufacturing process.</p><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"A small MEMS headphone driver is pictured on the tip of a finger.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/BzXqOtW7U2rogrrU4x4WSQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY1Ng--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-10/fcfeb590-6d01-11ee-bbf9-7ef0146becca\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> xMEMS</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>Of course, MEMS drivers lend themselves to any wearable that produces sound from AR glasses to VR goggles and hearing aids. For most of us, though, it\'s headphones where we’re going to see the biggest impact. Not least because the potential consistency and precision of MEMS should marry perfectly with related technologies such as spatial audio where fast response times and perfect phase matching (two headphones being perfectly calibrated to each other) is essential.</p><p>For now, MEMS is best suited to earbuds, IEMS and TWS-style headphones but xMEMS hopes to change that. “The North Star of the company was to reinvent loudspeakers,â€ Mike Householder, Marketing &amp; Business Development at the company told Engadget. “But to generate that full bandwidth audio in free air is a little bit more of a development challenge that\'s going to take some more time. The easier lift for us was to get into personal audio and that\'s the product that we have today.â€</p><p>To look at, the first IEM to feature xMEMS’ solid-state drivers, <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Singularity’s Oni;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://singularityindustries.com/products/oni\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Singularity’s Oni</a>, seem like regular, stylish high-end in-ear monitors. Once the music started to flow, though, there was a very clear difference. Electronic genres sounded crisp and impactful in a way that feld more. The MEMS drivers’ fast transient response evidenced in the sharp, punch percussion of RJD2’s “Ghostwriterâ€ and the Chemical Brothers’ “Live Again.â€ The latter’s mid- and high-end sections in particular shone through with remarkable clarity. Bass response was good, especially in the lower-mids, but perhaps not the strong point of the experience.</p><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"A close up picture of an ONI in-ear monitor made by Singularity.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/TOSPOq1_B4pYNXCBCG3XtQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-10/448c02e0-6d03-11ee-bd25-fc001b0d9a54\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> Singularity</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>When I tried Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,â€ I immediately noticed the hi-hats pushing through in a way I’d never heard before. The only way I can describe it is “splashy.â€ It didn’t sound weird, just noticeable. I asked Householder about this and he wasn’t as surprised. “Yeah, the hi-hats, cymbals and percussion, you\'re gonna hear it with a new level of detail that you\'re really not accustomed to.â€ He said, adding that some of this will be the tuning of the supplied headphone amplifier (made <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:by iFi;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://ifi-audio.com/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">by iFi</a>) so it’s partly the EQ of that, mixed with the improved clarity of high frequencies from the MEMS drivers.</p><p>There was another surprise with the supplied amp/DAC, too: It had a specific “xMEMSâ€ mode. I originally planned to use my own, but it turns out that I needed this specific DAC as the MEMS drivers require a 10-volt bias to work. I asked Householder if all headphones would require a DAC (effectively ending their chances of mainstream adoption), but apparently xMEMS has developed its own amp “chipâ€ that can both drive the speakers and supply the 10-volt bias. The forthcoming True Wireless buds from Creative, for example, obviously won’t need any additional hardware.</p><p>This is where things get interesting. While we don\'t know the price for Creative’s TWS buds with xMEMS drivers, we can be sure that they will be a lot cheaper than Singularity’s IEMs which retail for $1,500. “You know, they\'re appealing to a certain consumer, but you could just very easily put that same speaker into a plastic shell, and retail it for 150 bucks,â€ Householder told Engadget. The idea that xMEMS can democratize personal audio at every price point is a bold one. Not least because most audiophiles aren’t used to seeing the exact same technology in their IEMs also in sub-$200 wireless products. Until we have another set to test, though, we can’t comment on the individual character each manufacturer can imbue on them.</p><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"Exploded view of an xMEMS headphone.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/0y11pm1TscpBCtzLg27mTA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTQwOQ--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-10/5f970900-6d02-11ee-afef-49a00f7d40db\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> xMEMS</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>One possible differentiating factor for higher-end products (and competing MEMS-based products) is something xMEMS is calling “Skyline.â€ Householder described it as a dynamic “ventâ€ that can be opened and closed depending on the listener’s needs. Similar to how open-back headphones are favored by some for their acoustic qualities, xMEMS-powered IEMs could include Skyline that would open and close to prevent occlusion, improve passive noise canceling and other acoustic qualities such as “transparencyâ€ mode where you want to temporarily let external, environmental noises come through.</p><p>For those who prefer on-ear or over-ear headphones, MEMS technology will likely be paired with legacy dynamic drivers, at least initially. “The first step that we\'re taking into headphone is actually a two-way approach,â€ Householder said. The idea being that a smaller dynamic driver can handle the low frequencies, while MEMS drivers currently don’t scale up so well. “It\'s really the perfect pairing. The dynamic for the low end, let it do what it does best, and then we\'ve got the far superior high frequency response [from MEMS],â€ he said. “But the long term vision is to eventually fully replace that dynamic driver.â€</p><p>The ultimate goal would, of course, be a set of solid-state desktop speakers, but we’re a ways out on that, it seems. For now, though, there’s a tantalizing promise that MEMS-based in-ears could modernize and maybe even democratize consumer audio, at least around a certain price point. Not to mention that xMEMS isn’t the only company in the game.

Starting in the first quarter of 2024, Spotify will reportedly implement three changes meant to \"combat three drains on the royalty pool.\" The first one is establishing a minimum number of annual streams a track must reach before it starts generating royalties, which is supposed to demonetize tracks that earn less than 5 cents a month.</p><p>Apparently, while these tracks make up a tiny percentage of music on the platform — 99.5 percent of all monetized content will still be earning money after this change — their royalties still cost Spotify tens of millions of dollars a year. Based on <em>Music Business Worldwide\'s </em>computations, a track has to generate 200 plays a year to be able to earn 5 cents. As <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Verge;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/25/23932312/spotify-royalties-swift-deezer-universal-white-noise\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Verge</em></a> notes, the company is already getting flak for this particular change, because there are a lot of indie tracks that don\'t reach that threshold. Smaller artists might see their already meager earnings dwindle so that popular artists could get paid more.</p><p>Meanwhile, the second change coming to the platform will leverage its <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:anti-fraud detection;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/spotify-has-reportedly-removed-tens-of-thousands-of-ai-generated-songs-154144262.html?_fsig=x7Dgu4Uw9m_d0UlOY0Ba_w--%7EA\">anti-fraud detection</a> technology. If it detects illegal activity, such as the use of AI tools to repeatedly stream tracks and artificially boost their play count, the company will slap their distributors with financial penalties. Spotify is hoping that by enforcing a per-track penalty, it could deter people from committing streaming fraud in the long run. How effective this move is, of course, depends on the accuracy of the company\'s fraud detection technology.</p><p>The third and the last change in the service\'s royalty model will affect creators of \"non-music noise content,\" such as white noise and binaural beats. At the moment, there are a lot of noise tracks on Spotify that are only 31 seconds long, uploaded that way because the platform pays for every play that\'s longer than half a minute. With the change that\'s supposedly coming, though, Spotify will require these noise tracks to meet a minimum length of time before they can generate royalties.</p><p>While this move can potentially cut noise creators\' earnings significantly, Spotify originally wanted to take even more drastic measures. According to a <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:previous Bloomberg report;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/spotify-almost-removed-white-noise-podcasts-to-save-money-065639545.html\">previous Bloomberg report</a>, the company considered removing white noise content from its platform altogether and prohibiting future uploads in the category, because doing so would raise its annual gross profit by as much as $38 million. Spotify neither confirmed nor denied these changes — \"We do not have any news to share at this time,\" a spokesperson told <em>Music Business Worldwide </em>—<em> </em>so we\'ll have to wait for its official announcement to know if they\'re real and when they will be implemented if that\'s the case.</p></div>', 'Spotify\'s royalty model will get a massive revamp next year to give \"working artists\" a bigger cut, according to Music Business Worldwide.

Its 1.5-foot-tall self-emptying base holds up to 60 days worth of waste. And with a sleek, black and copper design, it isn’t an eyesore. The s9+ is D-shaped, as opposed to being fully circular, meaning its flat edge can more effectively get into corners. We found the s9+ paired quickly with WiFi and the iRobot app for an easy setup, and wasn’t unreasonably loud when it emptied its bin.</p><p>The vacuum works on carpets and hard floors, and has multi-surface rubber brushes to handle more difficult types of debris, like hair. It also promises to filter out microscopic particles and allergens like those that might be accumulating around the house from your pets. But, while it’s meant to excel at cleaning up pet hair, its sensors aren’t made for spotting and avoiding pet poop. It does, however, have “Careful Driverâ€ technology to avoid slamming into objects while it cleans.

Instead, the technology uses cryptographic pairs, one of which is a public key saved on a particular service\'s servers, while the other one remains private and is securely saved to a user\'s device. These pairs are unique for every service, and they must match for someone to be able to log in.

(452, 'Where to Get Roadside Assistance Coverage (and Why You Need It)', '<div><p>No vehicle is completely immune to the risk of a flat tire or a dead battery, which can be inconvenient at best and dangerous at worst. Roadside assistance does the work of locating and dispatching a tow truck or service vehicle for you, which comes in handy at odd hours or in unfamiliar locations. A service call, such as a tire change or jump-start, may also cost less if made through a roadside assistance plan than one booked directly.<br></br></p><p>Here’s where to look for roadside assistance coverage. </p><h2 id=\"h114203\"><a id=\"\"></a>Roadside assistance and motor clubs</h2><p>Membership clubs like AAA offer standalone roadside assistance plans <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://www.marketwatch.com/guides/roadside-assistance/best-roadside-assistance-plans/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/guides/roadside-assistance/best-roadside-assistance-plans/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">at various price points and coverage levels</a></span>. Premium plans usually include longer towing distances and additional perks compared to basic options.

Most insurers provide coverage for basic benefits like towing and battery jump-starts—some have additional perks like included labor, winching, and rental car coverage.

Credit card roadside assistance perks are generally pay-per-use, and the coverage varies by card.

Extended warranties from companies like Carchex and CarShield also include roadside assistance coverage. </p><h2 id=\"h114208\"><a id=\"\"></a>Questions to ask when choosing a roadside assistance plan</h2><p>The first thing to consider when shopping for roadside assistance is what services are included. Plans typically cover towing, lockouts, jump-starts, tire changes, and fuel delivery, though the specifics vary across plans, and some limit towing distances and the number of service calls allowed per year. Premium benefits include winching, trip interruption (such as reimbursement for food and lodging), replacement battery installation, and rekeying. </p><p>You should also determine whether your plan will cover services provided to additional drivers and family members as well as rental cars. </p><p>Price is another factor when shopping for roadside assistance coverage. If you have a credit card that offers pay-per-use services, you get the peace of mind for free and can simply hope you won’t need to use the benefit. Note that while an auto insurance or mobile plan add-on may be cheaper upfront, using your coverage may cost you more in the end compared to a comprehensive membership plan. </p></div>', 'No vehicle is completely immune to the risk of a flat tire or a dead battery, which can be inconvenient at best and dangerous at worst.

Want to weasel your way into free drinks, play elaborate mind games, or, er, launder some money? We’ve got all the info you need to be successfully unsavory.</em></p><p>When you have kids, people give you gifts. It’s wonderful! There are sweet little blankets, jolly jumpers, and charming little dolls—all very nice presents from generous relatives and friends.<br></br></p><p>And then there are the <em>other</em> gifts. There are things that are merely baffling: One friend told me her MIL brings boxes of recycling—literal garbage—for her toddler to play with. There are presents that are mildly clueless: The scratchy dresses for a little girl who clearly prefers jeans. And then there are the purely, absurdly evil: the gifts and toys that will rain down a hellscape of misery upon the household. </p><p>A brief, informal survey of parent friends revealed the 10 presents they would strongly like you to not to give their kids. Because it’s Evil Week, we’re sharing this with a slightly different agenda. Do with this information what you will. </p><h2 id=\"h106904\"><a id=\"\"></a>Glitter</h2><p>Glitter is the number-one scourge of the parenting world—worse than car sickness, worse than diaper explosions (I have found glitter <em>in</em> diaper explosions). My son’s preschool loved doing craft projects in glitter, which upon arriving home would explode around the house like a letter bomb that can never, ever completely be cleaned up. Preschool ended three years ago and I am still picking glitter out of my eyebrows. So if you are considering offering an art-supply kit that contains glitter, please ask yourself, <em>Do I hate these parents</em>? If so, great, include extra glitter.</p><h2 id=\"h106905\"><a id=\"\"></a>Things that need to be stored</h2><p>I also appreciate a good bargain on kids’ clothes, but a 4T outfit for a nine-month-old just means that the parents have to store it for three years. This might not seem like a big deal, but if you live in a small home, storage is at a premium, and frankly if I store something, it’s the equivalent of forgetting about it forever. I’ll find it <em>years</em> after my kids could wear it and then it will just get added to the Goodwill bag. </p><h2 id=\"h106906\"><a id=\"\"></a>Noisy things</h2><p>One musician friend was gifted a musical toy that sang the <em>words</em> “do-re-miâ€ but sang the <em>notes</em> “do-so-do,â€ a fail so egregious that he considered smashing the toy with a sledgehammer.</p><p>For a full year my son was enamored of a large plastic cube that played “Old MacDonald Had a Farmâ€ over and over and over—as the toy wore out, an increasingly slowed-down, distorted rendition. I finally just disappeared it. Karaoke machines, kazoos, recorders, and drum sets (unless approved by parents) also fall into this category.  </p><p>Two friends of mine complained about <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;http://www.melissaanddoug.com/musical-instruments-sound-puzzle---8-pieces/732.html&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"http://www.melissaanddoug.com/musical-instruments-sound-puzzle---8-pieces/732.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Melissa and Doug music puzzles</a></span>, which, they said, would often go off in the middle of the night, forcing them to stumble around in their nightgowns to find and destroy the errant pieces. Fun times!</p><h2 id=\"h106907\"><a id=\"\"></a>Big things</h2><h3 id=\"h106908\"><a id=\"\"></a></h3><p>This goes for apartment dwellers, or really, anyone who doesn’t live on a ranch. One friend has an easy formula for determining whether a toy is too big for her apartment: </p><p><strong>length x width (in inches) &lt; gift giver’s age</strong></p><p>Many toys that are great for kids with a lot of land are a no-go for kids in the city. So toy riding lawn mowers are out if your friends live in a walk-up in Queens, okay? Those toys are fine in principle, but they have to live at <em>your</em> house. </p><h2 id=\"h106909\"><a id=\"\"></a>Things that are for an older or younger child than the giftee</h2><p>Skip toys that are <em>way</em> too advanced for the kid—a drone for a toddler is going to end in tears. Craft kits for an 10-year-old are only going to frustrate and enrage a four-year-old. Consider the ages listed on the box, or at least <em>ask</em>: My son did enjoy Monopoly before age 8, but he is definitely <em>not</em> going to enjoy a LEGO set for a 12-adult age range.</p><h2 id=\"h106910\"><a id=\"\"></a>Weapons, or other items the parents have specifically forbidden</h2><p>Here are some things my friends’ kids have received as gifts: Real grappling hooks. Real bows-and-arrows. A ball pit was given to a friend of a friend, and she passed a pleasant year getting pelted by—and then having to clean up—dozens of little plastic balls. Also included in this category are electronics—if the parents are trying to keep their kids tech-free—or vats of candy. </p><h2 id=\"h106911\"><a id=\"\"></a>Choking hazards, or things with millions of tiny parts</h2><p>Many toys have lots of little pieces. I am okay with LEGOs but not with many other things in this category. One friend’s baby received a choo-choo train with many little tiles that had to be loaded and reloaded into the choo-choo train. Bonus: The baby kept cramming the tiles in her mouth. Some people put take-apart trucks and planes in this category, though my own boys liked these things so much that I was willing to crawl under furniture to retrieve all the little pieces.</p><h2 id=\"h106912\"><a id=\"\"></a>Highly gendered gifts, if the parents aren’t into that</h2><p>Several parents bemoaned makeup kits and play high heels for their little girls—the heels make clacking noises on the floor and are unstable, sending more than one kid flying and falling flat on her ass  (in fairness, this happens to grown women too). It’s doubly crummy if the boy in the family receives something like a tool kit.</p><h2 id=\"h106913\"><a id=\"\"></a>Anything that will create a chore or an expense for the parent</h2><p>Like, for example, a toy that takes batteries that doesn’t include batteries. Or things that will add minutes or hours to cleanup time, like floam, slime, or kinetic sand, or a wet-the-diaper doll that mom or dad is going to have to change, right after they change their real kid’s diaper. Or anything that requires a subscription, like electronic game set-ups that don’t come with any games. Or <span><a data-amazonasin=\"B06WWPYJ5D\" data-amazontag=\"kinjalifehackerlink-20\" data-ga=\"[]\" data-vtas-click=\"self:InlineUrl:inline-url-postbody\" href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Bunchems-Creativity-Pack-featuring-Pieces/dp/B06WWPYJ5D/ref=sr_1_1?asc_campaign=kinjalifehackerlink-20&amp;asc_refurl=https://lifehacker.com/10-gifts-to-give-to-the-kids-of-parents-you-hate-1819809665&amp;asc_source=&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=bunch ems&amp;qid=1508863548&amp;s=toys-and-games&amp;sr=1-1&amp;tag=kinjalifehackerlink-20\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer nofollow noskim\" target=\"_blank\">Bunchems</a></span>, which will have to be cut out of a screaming child’s hair. Or anything that you will have to pack up and send somewhere (like that bow and arrow set that got shipped to Grandma’s). Or even things, especially hand-me-downs, about which you think, “Well, if they don’t like them, they can run them to the Goodwill.â€ Don’t make anyone run to the Goodwill.</p><h2 id=\"h106914\"><a id=\"\"></a>Anything living</h2><p>Don’t buy living creatures without prior approval from the parents. Don’t buy, for example, an ant farm. An ant farm that is eventually going to break, sending millions of little ants scurrying into the kitchen. </p><p>Of course, if you really hate the parents of these kids, these are all <em>excellent</em> gifts. But beware, at some point you may find yourself opening a gift-wrapped crate containing a pot-bellied pig.</p></div>', 'Welcome to Evil Week, our annual dive into all the slightly sketchy hacks we’d usually refrain from recommending.

You’ll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase. Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common. Often they are all the same type of thing (for example: RAIN, SLEET, HAIL, and SNOW are all types of wet weather) but sometimes there is wordplay involved (for example, BUCKET, GUEST, TOP TEN, and WISH are all types of <em>lists</em>: bucket list, guest list, and so on).</p><p>Select four items and hit the Submit button.

So don’t hit “submitâ€ until you’ve confirmed that your group of four contains <em>only</em> those four things.</p><p>If you’re stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to have <em>no</em> connection to the others. If all that comes to mind when you see WHISTLER is the painting nicknamed <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https://philamuseum.org/calendar/exhibition/the-artists-mother-whistler-philadelphia&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://philamuseum.org/calendar/exhibition/the-artists-mother-whistler-philadelphia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">“Whistler’s Mother,â€</a></span> you might be on to something. When I solved that one, I ended up googling whether there was a painter named Close, because Close didn’t fit any of the obvious themes, either.</p><p>Another way to win when you’re stuck is, obviously, to read a few helpful hints–which is why we share these pointers every day.

While all, in Mozilla\'s estimation, overreached in their policies around data collection and use, some even included caveats about obtaining highly invasive types of information, like your sexual history and genetic information. As it turns out, this isn’t just hypothetical: The technology in today’s cars has the ability to collect these kinds of personal information, and the fine print of user agreements describes how manufacturers get you to consent every time you put the keys in the ignition.</p><p>“These privacy policies are written in a way to ensure that whatever is happening in the car, if there\'s an inference that can be made, they are still ensuring that there is protection, and that they are compliant with different state laws,â€ Adonne Washington, policy council at the Future of Privacy Forum, said. The policies also account for technological advances that could happen while you own the car. Tools to do one thing could eventually do more, so manufacturers have to be mindful of that, according to Washington.</p><p>So, it makes sense that a car manufacturer would include every type of data imaginable in its privacy policy to cover the company legally if it stumbled into certain data collection territory. <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Nissan’s privacy policy;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://www.nissanusa.com/privacy.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nissan’s privacy policy</a>, for example, covers broad and frankly irrelevant classes of user information, such as “sexual orientation, sexual activity, precise geolocation, health diagnosis data, and genetic informationâ€ under types of personal data collected.</p><p>Companies <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:claim ownership;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://jolt.law.harvard.edu/assets/articlePDFs/v32/32HarvJLTech299.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">claim ownership</a> in advance, so that you can’t sue if they accidentally record you having sex in the backseat, for example. Nissan claimed in a statement that this is more or less why its privacy policy remains so broad.

It is much harder to tell what they are actually doing as they aren’t required to be as public about that.â€</p><p>The unavailability of disconnected cars combined with the lack of transparency around driver data use means consumers have essentially no choice to trust their information is being used responsibly, or that at least some of the classes of data — like Nissan\'s decision to include \"genetic information\" — listed in these worrying privacy policies are purely related to hypothetical liability. The options are essentially: read every one of these policies and find the least draconian, buy a very old, likely fuel-inefficient car with no smart features whatsoever or simply do without a car, period. To that last point, only about <a data-i13n=\"cpos:8;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:eight;cpos:8;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://www.census.gov/acs/www/about/why-we-ask-each-question/vehicles/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">eight</a> percent of American households are carless, often not because they live in a walkable city with robust public transit, but because they cannot afford one.</p><p>This gets even more complicated when you think about how cars are shared. Rental cars change drivers all the time, or a minor in your household might borrow your car to learn how to drive. Unlike a cell phone, which is typically a single user device, cars don’t work like and vehicle manufacturers struggle to address that in their policies. And cars have the ability to collect information not just on drivers but their passengers.</p><p>If simply trusting manufacturers after they ask for the right to collect your genetic characteristics tests credulity, the burden of anyone other than a contract lawyer reading back a software license agreement to the folks in the backseat is beyond absurd. <a data-i13n=\"cpos:9;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ford’s privacy policy;cpos:9;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://www.ford.com/help/privacy/#USprivacypolicy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ford’s privacy policy </a>explicitly states that the owners of its vehicles “must inform others who drive the vehicle, and passengers who connect their mobile devices to the vehicle, about the information in this Notice.â€ That’s about 60 pages of information to relay, if you’re printing it directly from Ford’s website — just for the company and not even the specific car.</p><p>And these contracts tend to compound on one another. If that 60-page privacy policy seems insurmountable, well, there\'s also a terms of service and a separate policy regarding the use of Sirius XM (on a website with its own \'accept cookies\' popover, with its own agreement.) In fairness to Ford, its privacy notice does allow drivers to opt out of certain data sharing and connected services, but that would require drivers to actually comb through the documentation. Mozilla found many other manufacturers offered no such means to avoid being tracked, and a complete opt-out is something which the Alliance for Automotive Innovation — a trade group representing nearly all car and truck makers in the US, including Ford — has <a data-i13n=\"cpos:10;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:actively resisted;cpos:10;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/carmakers-fail-privacy-test-give-owners-control-personal-102950437\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">actively resisted</a>.

The data held in-vehicle and manufacturer\'s servers becomes yet another hurdle for drivers should they opt to sell the thing down the line. According to Privacy4Cars founder Andrea<strong> </strong>Amico, be sure to get it in writing from the dealer how they plan to <a data-i13n=\"cpos:14;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:delete your data from the vehicle;cpos:14;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" href=\"https://privacy4cars.com/personal-use/delete-data-from-a-car/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">delete your data from the vehicle</a> before reselling it. “There\'s a lot of things that consumers can do to actually start to protect themselves, and it\'s not going to be perfect, but it\'s going to make a meaningful difference in their lives,â€ Amico said.</p><p>Consumers are effectively hamstrung by the state of legal contract interpretation, and manufacturers are incentivized to mitigate risk by continuing to bloat these (often unread) agreements with increasingly invasive classes of data.
