• AT&T is slashing its autopay and paperless billing discounts
    www.theverge.com
    AT&T will cut its autopay and paperless billing discounts in half starting April 24th. In a statement to The Verge, AT&T spokesperson Kyle Loomis confirmed reports that customers enrolled in the program will get $5 off their monthly bill instead of $10 when paying with a debit card.AT&T is also doing away with the existing $5 discount for paperless and autopay customers with a linked credit card. The discount will now only apply to customers who have an AT&T Plus Card from Citi. AT&T will continue to offer a $10 discount to customers who use their bank accounts for autopay.Loomis said AT&T is making the change to align with others in the industry. It doesnt exactly come as a surprise, as T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T have all already lowered autopay discounts for customers paying their bills with a credit card, while Verizon halved discounts for more people last year.

  • Daredevil: Born Again Episodes 5 and 6 Review
    www.ign.com
    Warning: This review contains full spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again episodes 5 and 6!Now thats what Im talkin about! This week, Daredevil: Born Again delivers an excellent one-two punch with a pair of superb episodes that showcase what makes Matt Murdock so especially awesome. Though episodes 5 and 6 dont make up a two-part story and are essentially unrelated, they were aired together so Im reviewing both at once. The first is an incredible episode largely confined to a single setting, while the second delivers the long-awaited return of Daredevil in rousing fashion. The past few episodes had us hungry for just this sort of thing. Well now, Daredevil fans, we are eating well.Almost the entire runtime of episode five takes place inside a bank during an armed robbery staged by a clever gangster who seems to always be one step ahead of the police. It puts Murdock in an interesting place where he still doesnt suit up as Daredevil, yet he cant help but literally walk into danger to help the hostages. He truly is the man without fear, even when hes wearing a suit instead of a superheros armor. Its incredible to watch Murdock navigate the intense situation using his lawyer smarts and super senses while also trying to keep a low profile and lowkey hilarious at times, too.Its all just so well done. I cant remember the last time a Marvel show had me wearing such a big smile the entire episode and had me completely captivated from start to finish. This episode also achieves something very important given the lack of Daredevil thus far: it shows what makes Matt Murdock such a unique and amazing hero, even when hes not in costume.This episode contains what has to be Born Agains most overt connection to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, Yusuf Khan (Mohan Kapur). Hes the father of Kamala Khan, a.k.a. Ms. Marvel, and here hes working as the assistant bank manager assigned to help Murdock with his bank loan. And even if it feels like the episodes references to Ms. Marvel are a little too blatant, if anyone can make this type of thing work, its the enjoyably affable Yusuf. Kapur plays the character with effusive humor and infectious energy, and his surprised and mildly hurt reaction when Murdock says he had never heard of his daughters superhero persona is priceless. Once things get dangerous after the bank robbers showed up, Yusuf makes an entertaining counterpart to the much more serious Murdock. Daredevil Episode 5 and 6 GalleryWhen the heist is busted up by the police and the leader tries to sneak away in disguise, its so cool watching Murdock chase him down wearing another robbers red mask. Their brawl is fast and frantic and tense, and given everything Murdock had to endure from that guy during the heist, its especially satisfying watching him take him down. That knee stomp will be replaying in my nightmares, but its still very satisfying.Moving on to episode six, we get a very different yet no less enthralling kind of story. The artist serial killer Muse becomes a huge problem for both Mayor Fisk and Murdock to contend with, and he ends up forcing them to go to two distinct extremes. Its quite juicy watching Fisk trying to deal with a villain for once, as it tests the character in a way weve never seen before. Ultimately, he uses Muse as an excuse to create a task force of bad cops who also happen to be huge Punisher fanboys, considerably increasing his level of power and control over the city. Fisk also tends to personal matters when he gives poor, imprisoned Adam a chance to fight for his life. Even though Adam as a character feels underdeveloped, the brutal violence is horrifying to watch. As respectable a face as Fisk puts on as mayor, underneath it all hes still the same monstrous titan hes always been he just has to unleash it in secret.It is very, very satisfying seeing Daredevil back in business.On the opposite side, Muse targeting Angela del Toro is the (walking) stick that breaks the camels back for Murdock, finally pushing him to don the red horns once more. I was a tad disappointed with the actual moment where Murdock chooses to become Daredevil again: Sure, its kind of funny hearing him make such a flippant remark when theres such a long and moody buildup to his return to costumed vigilanteism. But I would have preferred something more earnest; something more in line with the serious tone of Matts internal struggle. How many times did we watch him fiddle with that horn piece in deep contemplation about Foggys death and his fear of unleashing the monster within, just for him to throw it all to the wind?While Im in a nitpicking mood, I have to point out the goofy CGI Daredevil that files across the screen at the start of the fight with Muse. It feels like another bit of the MCUs worst habits intruding on the show, where lackluster CGI is used in place of the practical fight choreography that Daredevil made its name on.Quibbles aside, the sequence of Daredevil tracking down Muse and having an absolutely brutal brawl across the villains bloody art studio/sewer hideout is fantastic. It is very, very satisfying seeing Daredevil back in business. But it comes at a cost. Murdocks deal with Fisk from the first episode now means hes got a target on his back. Its a delicious irony: For Murdock to save the city, he must damn himself. Thats always been a core aspect of Daredevil, a powerful characteristic that Born Again is showcasing in a new and refreshing way.Other ThoughtsAs it turns out, Ron Burgundy had the right universe, but the wrong superhero when he said, The Human Torch was denied a bank loan.Did anyone else find it cute that the robbers masks just happened to match the rainbow colors of the Infinity Stones? Im pretty sure bank safes are made with far more advanced technology these days, the kind that cant be cracked just by listening real good.Given that Murdock accepted Yusufs dinner invitation, that means a potential Daredevil/Ms. Marvel team-up could be on the horizon. I never would have called that one!As predicted last week, it looks like Angela del Toro is being positioned to inherit her uncles mantle and become the new White Tiger. She has a passionate drive to seek out justice, no matter the risk to her personal safety, and she presumably has access to the magic pendant that grants the wearer super powers, which sounds like the perfect recipe for a hero to me.

  • NASA Drops Promise to Land "First Woman, Person of Color" on the Moon
    futurism.com
    NASA may be still committed to landing the first woman and person of color on the Moon sometime in 2027 as part of its Artemis III mission but you wouldn't know it by visiting the agency's landing page for the mission, which no longer includes any mentions of "diversity, equity, or inclusion" (DEI) on president Donald Trump's orders.First spotted by British science journalist Oliver Morton, NASA's DEI purge has reached the page for its Artemis mission, which until at least February 28 included references to the agency's commitment to "land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon.""A giant step back for womankind?" Morton mused.In a statement to The Guardian, a NASA spokesperson said that the change had been made "in keeping with the president's executive order" a reference to one of Trump's manyanti-DEI orders issued in the first weeks of his new term.Notably, NASA's statement did not indicate whether the agency has planned any changes to the Artemis program, which was launched during Trump's first term and ironically designed to promote inclusion.As such, we don't know whether the agency is still planning to send veteran astronauts Christina Koch and Victor Glover, who are female and Black, respectively, on a trip around the Moon and back as part of NASA's Artemis II mission slated for next year.But it's possible they're still on the roster. In a statement toFuturism, a NASA spokesperson said that it's "important to note that the change in language does not indicate a change in crew assignments."The crew for NASA's first attempt to land the first astronauts on the Moon in over half a century has yet to be announced. The mission is tentatively scheduled for mid-2027.The latest change is part of a much greater purge of any references to DEI on government websites. Earlier this year, workers at NASA were, as 404 Media reported, ordered to immediately "scrub all [diversity, equity, and inclusion] related or DEI adjacent topics and terms from all external websites."Among the terms to be deleted was "anything specifically targeting women," such as "women in leadership.""This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request," the directive read.While the Trump administration's anti-DEI push has touched every corner of government, it's been particularly intense at NASA possibly because that agency used to be considered a pioneer in diverse hiring, dating back to the launch of the Space Shuttle program in the late 1970s.More on NASA under Trump: NASA Deletes Comic Book About How Women Can Be AstronautsShare This Article

  • Kanye Wests Remixed Tadao Ando Mansion Is Returning to the Market for $39 Million
    www.architecturaldigest.com
    The artist formerly known as Kanye Wests former Malibu mansion is on the hunt for a new owner. The oceanfront property is on sale for $39 million, the Wall Street Journal reports.West, who now goes by Ye, sold the concrete compound to Belwood Investments founder Steven Bo Belmont for $21 million in September 2024. Belmont has taken on the task of restoring the minimalist manse back to its original state after the controversial musicians abandoned effort at transforming the residence into a 1910s-inspired bomb shelter. The now-disgraced musician and fashion mogul snagged the Ando dwelling in 2021 for $57.3 million. According to a lawsuit from September 2024, a former project manager who worked with the rapper on overhauling the space claimed that West gutted and abandoned renovations on the supposed bunker, leaving it stripped of any windows, bathrooms, or electricity, and exposing it to debris and spray coming from the Pacific Ocean. West listed the property in December 2023 for $53 million.A fireplace in the home.Photo: The Oppenheim Group/RogerDaviesPritzker Prize-winning Japanese starchitect Tadao Ando built the behemoth beachfront abode in 2013. The three-story home was rendered in Andos trademark concrete, requiring 1,200 tons of the material as well as 200 tons of steel and 12 pylons, anchored at 60 feet deep. The four-bedroom home offers 500 square feet of deck space and stairs that lead straight towards the beach.Join NowFlash Sale: Become an AD PRO member today and unlock your design potential.ArrowRenovations to address the changes made by Ye are reportedly underway, with a projected completion date in early 2026. Since purchasing the 4,000-square-foot house, Belmont has reportedly added framing, plumbing, electrical systems, and a roof. The total cost of renovations, led by architecture firm Marmol Radziner, is said to be around $8.5 million. Belmont told the WSJ that if the home doesnt secure an appealing offer, the asking price will skyrocket between $55 million and $65 million to accommodate construction costs and pay back investors.

  • Canada freezes rebate payments to Tesla, bars it from future programs due to tariffs
    www.cbc.ca
    People attend a protest rally outside a Telsa dealership in Ottawa against CEO Elon Musk's political influence last week. Some of the actions taken by Canada in response to American tariffs have specifically targetted Musk's companies. (Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)Social SharingCanada has frozen all rebate payments for Tesla and banned the electric-vehicle maker from future EV rebate programs, Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Tuesday.No rebate payments will be made until each claim is individually investigated and determined to be valid, Freeland said in an emailed statement shared by her office.Freeland also directed Transport Canada to revise eligibility requirements for future Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) programs to ensure that Tesla vehicles are not eligible as long as the "illegitimate and illegal U.S. tariffs are imposed against Canada."Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland said Teslas would not be eligible for EV rebate programs while the U.S. imposes tariffs on Canadian goods. (Justin Tang/Canadian Press)U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a slew of tariffs, with the bulk due in early April, in the form of 25 per cent taxes on most goods from Canada.Trump on Monday said automobile tariffs are coming soon, although not all of his threatened levies would be enforced on April 2 as previously indicated.Canada has frozen $43 millionin rebate payments for Tesla. The order to stop the payments came before Liberal Leader Mark Carney announced a general election would take place April 28, according to the Toronto Star, which reported the news earlier.The Star reported earlier this month that Tesla filed an extraordinary number of EV rebate claims in the final days of the program in January, with a single Tesla dealership in Quebec City claiming nearly $20 million in public subsidies by documenting more than 4,000 electric vehicle sales over a single weekend.Ontario stopped providing financial incentives for Teslas purchased as taxis or ride shares because of trade tensions with the U.S. earlier this month.Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a close ally of Trump, has been leading the White House effort to shrink the federal government and budget as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
