Here’s Henry Cavill as Geralt in Netflix’s version of The Witcher
Netflix has released the first look of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia for its upcoming take on The Witcher. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich is adapting Andrzej Sapkowski’s beloved fantasy novels for the streaming service.
Since their release, they’ve inspired graphic novels, board games, and, of course, the acclaimed video game series from CD Projekt Red. In The Witcher’s world, monster hunters known as witchers fight supernatural beings with the help of special powers and body modifications. Cavill stars alongside Freya Allan as fellow iconic characters Ciri, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, and Anna Shaffer as Triss.
On Twitter, Netflix also teased Cavill as the magical monster hunter. He doesn’t speak because he knows just what we’re thinking.

Steve Bannon is pushing anti-immigrant policies at an upcoming tech conference
Trump strategist Steve Bannon has resurfaced in an unlikely place: the tech conference circuit. He is currently scheduled as the keynote speaker at the 15th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology (or ACE2018), to be hosted at the University of Montana in December. The conference is co-located with the Fourth International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots, although Bannon does not have any apparent connection to that gathering.
The broader scientific community is already pushing back against the invitation. A number of associated academics have pulled out of the conference in the wake of the keynote, as reported by Motherboard. Springer, a leading scientific publisher, has declined to publish the…
The Asus ZenFone 6 leaks with the most unsightly notch of all
Say what you will about the notches that have come out in the past year, but at least they were all centered. Leaked photos of Asus’ upcoming ZenFone 6 flagship phone were published by the likes of C4ETech, where the most offensive notch position has been sighted. It’s offset to the right-hand side!
While you should take these leaked photos with a grain of salt, all I can think is, “Why, Asus?” I could play devil’s advocate and say that the notch is small and non-intrusive, like the ill-fated Essential Phone’s. These design choices might not be final or even real, but the aesthetic crime that Asus seems to be committing isn’t the size of the notch, but its positioning. It’s definitely something you…
iPhone dual-SIM support won’t do much in the US this year
Apple released iOS 12.1 yesterday, adding support for a second SIM card to the iPhone XS and XR through the use of a digital eSIM. Apple may have technically added support for eSIM cards, but none of the major US carriers are ready for it. According to a report from MacRumors, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are all delaying their adoption of eSIM until later this year. (Sprint wasn’t included in Apple’s original announcement, but it told PCMag that it will support eSIM at some point.)
So if you’re a US cellular customer, you can’t actually use a second SIM with your phone unless you’re using one of the international carriers that do support eSIM.

Giant flightless birds were nocturnal and possibly blind
If you encountered an elephant bird today, it would be hard to miss. Measuring in at over 10 feet tall, the extinct avian is the largest bird known to science. However, while you looked up in awe, it’s likely that the big bird would not be looking back. According to a brain reconstruction, the part of the elephant bird brain that processed vision was tiny, a trait that indicates they were nocturnal and possibly blind.
