There are a number of very impressive examples of how artificial intelligence can accomplish things that humans simply can’t, but nothing is cooler than seeing AI married to robotics. OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research group that counts Elon Musk among its founders, has been working on honing the skills of its neural networks in various ways, but this one-handed robot demonstration is probably its most impressive feat yet.

The bot was tasked with solving a Rubik’s Cube with one human-style hand. This might not sound all that impressive, but it becomes a lot more interesting when you learn that the bot’s creators never actually told it how to accomplish its goal.

Huawei’s Mate X was the second foldable phone, after the Samsung Galaxy Fold, to have its initial release earlier this year temporarily scuttled as the company decided it needed to work through design woes and other assorted headaches that apparently come with trying to bring a phone with a bendable screen to market. A release for the Mate X, which will be powered by a Kirin 990 processor, was delayed to November — though it seems some people may be getting their hands on the device before the end of this month.

I hadn’t realized how much I missed Breaking Bad until I saw El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie movie over the weekend. The film that explains what happened to Jesse Pinkman after his escape in the Breaking Bad finale does feel a lot like a long Breaking Bad episode, which is quite a treat for fans of the series, but may not be as entertaining to anyone who hasn’t seen how the five-season AMC drama concluded.

Going into El Camino, I had no expectations for the film or for Jesse’s fate. The character deserved some redemption after what he went through, but it’s not like he wasn’t responsible for the way things turned out. That said, El Camino delivered a compelling and heartbreaking story, with Aaron Paul shining, once again, as Jesse, with a fitting end for the troubled young man we’ve come to know since he partnered up with Walter White. But it turns out the ending could have been a lot darker than what we saw in the final cut. Also, a variation of the ending the team chose contained another exciting scene I wish I could see. In case you haven’t seen the movie, spoilers will follow below.

Despite many eyes in the scientific community focusing on Mars over the past decade, Earth’s Moon still provides a huge scientific opportunity for space agencies around the globe. NASA is headed back with a crewed mission currently slated for 2024, China just broke new ground by landing on the far side of the Moon, and newcomers to the lunar space race like India and Israel have made their own attempts in 2019 as well.

Now, the UK is forging ahead with a new mission that will see a first-of-its-kind lunar rover journey to Earth’s pale satellite, and the bot sure does look cool.

The bank employee in the city of Freiburg, Germany, who noticed a bank ATM acting screwy one morning was greeted with a bizarre message on the control panel: “Ho-ho-ho! Let’s make some cutlets today!” That employee didn’t immediately realize it, but hackers had implanted malware in the ATM as part of a so-called “jackpotting” attack. The end result is like something you might see in a movie — the ATM spitting out a stream of cash until the machine is completely drained.

Of all the new developments at Apple this year that signify just how different a company it is these days when it was once so largely tied to (and regarded in the minds of the general public) as the iPhone company, we could point to things like the forthcoming launch of Apple TV+ as indicative of how different an enterprise Apple is today. Likewise, the launch earlier this year of an Apple-branded credit card — with Apple Card initially serving as the target of some people’s ire, people who wondered why the tech company was bothering to launch a credit card at all with all its attendant features like a cashback program and interest rates and the like.

The card is, of course, a natural outgrowth of the existing Apple Pay platform. And while the card has only been live for several weeks now, Apple’s card partner is out with new comments raving about the card’s launch.
