Quote from: GizmodoThe real Space Force may be going down in flames against the fictional Space Force: According to the Hollywood Reporter, the newly founded military branch appears to be losing a trademark battle with the Netflix comedy show of the same name.Netflix "has outmaneuvered the U.S. government to secure trademark rights to 'Space Force' in Europe, Australia, Mexico and elsewhere," according to the Reporter, while the Air Force—under which the Space Force is organized—simply has a pending application stateside. This mostly has ramifications for merch. Consumers won't have trouble discerning between the military branch and Space Force when it comes to which one stars Steve Carrell, but they might not be able who is selling a line of Space Force shirts.

Quote from: Kotaku"Face Depixelizer" is a tool Created by Alex Damian, Sachit Menon, and Denis Malimonov. It does exactly what you expect with a name like that. Users can upload a pixelated photo of a face and the tool spits out what that person might look like based on algorithms and all that stuff. In the wrong hands, this type of tech can be used to do some bad shit and will make it harder to hide in this world from police and other powerful and dangerous groups.But it can also be used to create monsters out of old game characters. Look what this thing did to Mario, for example.
Quote from: SoraNews24While Halloween has been rapidly rising in popularity in Japan, it's only within the last 10 years or so that the spooky October celebration has really caught on.

So instead the team at haunted house design company Kowagarasetai has created what they say is the world's first drive-in haunted house.
Quote from: Brian Lacki via GizmodoAmong the various anomalies listed, Lacki said NGC 247 is among his favorites. This object is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy that appears to have a hole in one side of its disk, with fewer stars than normal. Now, an idea put forth in SETI is that some advanced aliens can hop from star to star within their host galaxy, and they build Dyson spheres around each star to harvest as much energy as possible."That's a giant shell or swarm that completely surrounds a sun, which would hide it from our view. So if we caught a galaxy midway through that process, or if they stopped before shrouding the entire galaxy, one expects to find a galaxy with a hole in it," Lacki told Gizmodo. "That's probably not what is going on with NGC 247—we expect the sunlight to heat the Dyson sphere until it glows in infrared light, and we don't see that from the 'hole' as far as I know."
