After a season that resolved a few key mysteries but still perplexed fans and raised the personal stakes for everyone's favorite macrodata refiners, it's not a huge shock that Apple has renewed one of its most successful shows. Just as the second season finale hit Apple TV , the company confirmed Severance will be returning for a third season.
The company says Severance became the most-watched show on its streaming service during the second season. The sci-fi thriller took the crown from Ted Lasso, which Apple also recently renewed.

All going well, the wait shouldn't be quite as long between seasons of Severance this time around. Fans had to remain patient for three years for the second season, in large part because of filming delays due to write

Four months later, Fubo has removed Essential from its sign-up page for new subscribers, leaving its "Pro" plan as the cheapest option. While Fubo Pro carries the same $85-per-month list price as Fubo Essential, it also includes a regional sports fee, which adds at least $13 per month to the total. Fubo doesn't disclose this until you reach the final checkout page.
Essential—which actually does cost $85 per month—remains available for existing subscribers and those who are reactivating an expired subscription. Fubo spokeswoman Jennifer Press confirmed that it's stopped offering the plan to new subscribers.
"Since Fubo is a sports-first offering, consumers prefer the Pro base plan with regional sports networks, especially during baseball season," she said via email.
Fubo alternatives
Most other live TV streaming services exclude regional sports from their lineups in many markets, including YouTube TV ($83 per month), Hulu Live TV ($83 per month), and Sling TV (starting at $46 per month). That makes them quite a bit cheaper than the actual price of Fubo Pro, which starts at $98 per month after fees.
And if you do want regional sports, there are other options. Most MLB, NBA, and NHL teams now offer direct-to-consumer services, with prices ranging anywhere from f

On May 9, AMC Theatres will start showing a sci-fi movie that was shot in Swedish but will look like it was made in English instead. Watch the Skies, which was released in its home country as UFO Sweden, had undergone "visual dubbing" with the help of artificial intelligence. An AI company called Flawless used its technology to digitally alter the film's images, making the actors look like they were truly speaking in English. Notably, the original actors recorded their own dialogues in English in a sound booth — Flawless AI's technology merely altered the movements of their lips in the movie.
On its website, Flawless says its TrueSync AI technology "captures every nuance of an actor's performance and generates new lip movements that perfectly map to the new language audio, providing the perfect visual dub." Variety says the tool is compliant with the rules set by SAG-AFTRA, which ended a four-month strike in 2023 after securing a deal with studios that protects members "from the threat of AI."
Flawless AI's technology could lower the barrier of entry into foreign films. It could make them more appealing to audiences resistant to watching subtitled movies and could provide a better experience for audiences in countries that normally dub movies in their native language. "Showing our materials to filmmakers, especially over the past year, they realize the potential from going to a loca

Artificial intelligence is not flash in the pan — it is here to stay. Gartner says more than 80% of enterprises will have used some form of generative AI APIs or applications by 2026. If you plan to be among those 80%, then you have to determine the best way to train and deploy it, on premises or in the cloud.
AI training requires specialized hardware that is very, very expensive compared to standard server equipment. It starts at the mid-six figures and can run into the several-million-dollar range. And that hardware cannot be repurposed for other uses such as databases.
In addition to purchasing and maintaining the AI hardware, there is the model on which your AI application is based. Training is the difficult part of AI and the most process intensive. Training can take weeks or even months, depending on the size of the data set. That could be months you don't have.
