Everyone knows (or at least should know) that a diet consisting of little more than potato chips and french fries is going to lead to poor health. For one teen in the UK, a refusal to eat anything but carb-heavy junk food ultimately cost him far more than anyone could have guessed.

The boy’s case is described in a new paper published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, which notes that the unnamed 14-year-old boy was considered a “fussy eater” when he was first seen by doctors. During that initial check, he was noted as having low vitamin B12 levels and was advised to change his diet. He did not follow that advice.

For whatever reason, The Simpsons never really clicked with me, but Futurama is one of my favorite shows. So you can see why I was cautiously optimistic that Disenchantment — the newest show from Matt Groening — would push the same buttons as the latter, and for the most part, it did. It’s the second-best animated show from Netflix (behind BoJack) and it returns with ten more episodes near the end of the month. I can’t wait.

The other Netflix original I’m anxiously awaiting is the Between Two Ferns movie, simply because I have no idea how you turn this ridiculous concept into a feature-length film. But I will watch Zach Galifianakis do just about anything, so I’ll be tuning in on September 20th to find out what exactly this is.

Spider-Man is no longer a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we’ve explained in great detail what happened between Sony and Disney. Sony chose to go forward with the character on its own, looking to launch a Spider-Man-based equivalent of the MCU that eill feature several of the other Marvel characters it owns. The other option, which Sony rejected, was to give Disney a cut as high as 30% of the box office take for future Spider-Man films, according to reports. Meanwhile, Marvel will go forward with its own MCU expansion plans that don’t depend on Spider-Man whatsoever.

A new deal between the two studios is certainly possible at some point in the future. But if you’ve heard that Sony and Disney cut a new deal in secret since they confirmed the split a few weeks ago, that’s almost certainly not accurate information.

As expected, Google rolled out Android 10 on Tuesday for all Pixel devices. The release date wasn’t shared ahead of time, but Canadian mobile carrier Rogers let the secret slip by including the date in its public schedule of OS updates. The schedule listed the Pixel, Pixel 2, Pixel 3, and Pixel 3a, as well as their XL counterparts. Every phone was set to receive “Android Q” (which has since been renamed Android 10) on September 3rd.

Google’s own smartphones are always the first to receive new versions of the Android mobile operating system, so if you own a Pixel, you can start downloading Android 10 right now. Everyone else will have to wait, though there have been hints that the OnePlus 7 Pro will update to Android 10 today as well.

Netflix is soon to face some of its toughest challenges yet, thanks in part to the imminent launch in November of Disney+ with the massive pile of streaming content it’s already assembled to offer fans of Disney’s myriad brands plenty to binge for a low monthly price.

One of the aspects of the Disney+ user experience that hasn’t been talked about too much yet is the fact that some of its shows, like The Mandalorian, will be released week-to-week instead of the familiar all-at-once binge, Netflix-style. Hulu’s originals (Hulu, of course, also being a Disney-owned property) has already gone done this road — and it should perhaps come as no surprise that Netflix, looking over its shoulders, is experimenting with this format, as well.
