John Deere has announced the signing of a strategic partnership with EGO and its parent company Chervon. Under the agreement, EGO’s lineup of over 70 battery-powered lawn care products will soon become available at John Deere dealers. This is wonderful news for consumers looking to abandon gas-dependent lawn work, but there is a tinge of capitulation in this deal we can’t overlook. If you haven’t heard of John Deere, I’d wager you’re a visitor from another planet walking among the human race,…

HEMSWORTH’S ACTION GOALS ( Photo Credit – Bang Showbiz ) Sam Hargrave thinks Chris Hemsworth has the same action movie outlook as Jackie Chan. The ‘Extraction 2’ filmmaker – who has directed the new Netflix movie after helming the original 2020 blockbuster – has heaped praise on Hemsworth’s performance as mercenary Tyler Rake because he isn’t afraid to look vulnerable in fight scenes. Sam Hargrave told Collider about Chris Hemsworth, “I think that’s one thing that makes Tyler Rake so great, and a lot of that, for me,…

While cordless electric pole saws aren’t all that new, EGO went in a new direction with its latest 10-inch model. Delivering 16 feet of reach with its carbon fiber pole, you’ll not only get a lifetime warranty on the pole itself, but also five years on the tool and three years on the battery. There’s now an LED cut line indicator on the back of the unit right behind the bar and chain to let you know exactly where it’s cutting even under a thick tree canopy. Add to that the fact that no gas or oil…

Earlier this year, Microsoft unleashed an AI chatbot. The company named the AI Bing, after its search engine, but buried deep in its architecture was a robot with a whole other personality: an early version of the AI that called itself Sydney. In the first days of Bing’s release, Sydney reared its unhinged digital head in conversations with amused and sometimes disturbed users. Sydney talked about plans for world domination, encouraged a New York Times reporter to leave his wife, and in its darkest moments, dipped into…

Ortega/Getty Images It was inevitable that Moana was going to be remade one day seeing as virtually every animated Disney feature worth its salt is going to be subjected to the live-action treatment sooner rather than later, but eyebrows were nonetheless raised when the project was officially announced a mere six and a half years after the original debuted in theaters. However, things began to make a little more sense when it was also confirmed that Dwayne Johnson would not just be acting as…

Screenshot: Marvel StudiosWhen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ended, Peter Quill and Gamora were an item. That continued into Avengers: Infinity War, where the team split up to try and stop Thanos from getting the Infinity Stones. However, to get the Soul Stone, Thanos was forced to sacrifice his daughter, Gamora, which Peter was obviously very, very upset about. So upset, in fact, he basically was responsible for half the galaxy being killed because he let his anger about Gamora’s death mess up the plan he and the…

Elon Musk caused a stir last week when he told the (recently fired) right-wing provocateur Tucker Carlson that he plans to build “TruthGPT,” a competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Musk says the incredibly popular bot displays “woke” bias and that his version will be a “maximum truth-seeking AI”—suggesting only his own political views reflect reality. Musk is far from the only person worried about political bias in language models, but others are trying to use AI to bridge political divisions rather than push particular…

Wilson Fisk/ Netflicks Swamp Thing/ Warner Bros Vincent D’Onofrio has taken to Twitter to express his enthusiasm for a potential role in the upcoming Swamp Thing movie. The Full Metal Jacket actor may have even gotten James Gunn to take notice of his willingness to leave the Marvel Universe and take up residence in the DCU. While D’Onofrio, with his extensive acting skills, hasn’t landed a single position in the universe, some fans are questioning how Dwayne Johnson has landed so many. And finally, Donald Trump…
