Editor's take: Reviving a franchise as beloved as The Karate Kid is almost always a recipe for disaster yet somehow, executive producers Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald and Hayden Schlossberg defied all the odds. The series stays true to the original with lots of throwbacks for diehard fans while successfully managing to introduce several new characters without it feeling forced. With any luck, Netflix will be able to keep the series going for years to come.

Netflix has acquired the streaming rights to smash hit Cobra Kai from YouTube and will host

In context: Space toilets already exist, mind you, at the International Space Station, but they are designed solely for use in microgravity. NASA needs something that works both in microgravity and lunar gravity and is turning to the global community at large to help identify a suitable solution for both environments.

NASA’s Artemis program intends to put “the first woman and the next man” on the Moon by 2024. That may seem far off but in actuality, it’s just around the corner and

A hot potato: For as long as there have been rival consoles, fans have argued over which is superior. And it’s not just owners; the developers also like to weigh in on the ‘mine’s more powerful’ debate. Following the recent PlayStation 5 reveal, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, says he "felt good" after seeing what Sony had to offer, adding that the Xbox Series X has a “hardware advantage.”

The big picture: Slack came out in 2013 with a mission to improve online collaboration and reduce workspace clutter. In that time, the business tool has become somewhat of a household name for companies big and small. It's also managed to disrupt office culture by significantly reducing the need for emails, allowing users to form teams and collaborate via channels. The company's latest Slack Connect feature looks to double down on this approach by letting up to 20 companies work seamlessly on a single channel,

Editor's take: In e-commerce, consumer trust is everything. Once that trust is violated, it can often be impossible to re-establish. Rather than go down that bumpy road, Amazon would like to avoid it altogether by keeping counterfeiters from ever being able to list their products on its marketplace. This is a non-perfect world, however, and sometimes, bad actors slip by the first wave of defense. That's where Amazon's new unit comes into play.

Why it matters: Like smartphones, wireless earbuds can be a breeding ground for bacteria, which is concerning when you consider how many hours they spend inside your ears. For those germaphobes out there, LG has announced a new pair of buds that come with a UVnano charging case.

The Korean tech giant has unveiled Tone Free HBS-FN4 and HBS-FN6 earbuds, the latter of which

What just happened? Following controversy and multiple lawsuits over selling slower SMR disks under its Red family of NAS drives, Western Digital has announced that it's adding a new 'Red Plus' tier to the series, which will solely be occupied by CMR drives meant for small/medium businesses and ZFS users. Consequently, WD's Red lineup will now be divided into three sub-brands: 'Red' for DMSMR (Shingled) models, 'Red Plus' for CMR-based disks aimed at SMBs,

A hot potato: Earlier this week, Apple confirmed what had been rumored for years: it would move away from Intel and use its own Arm-based chips in next generation Macs. According to a former Intel engineer, the company made this decision because of the “bad quality assurance of Skylake.”

It’s been a good week for Arm: Apple finally announced it is transitioning the Mac to Arm-based silicon, bringing the computers in line with iPads and iPhones, and the world’s fastest supercomputer
