Around this time last week, I was on the Eurostar headed from the St. Pancras railway station in London en route to Paris — a ride that at one point actually dips under the English Channel before crossing into France. After the train had done so, that’s the point at which I was staring at my iPhone, trying to figure out why Apple Maps was showing me as officially on French soil, while Google Maps was inexplicably registering me as still back in England, having not yet crossed the Channel.

It’s Joker weekend, folks, a movie we’ve been waiting to hit theaters for months. It’s sadly not part of the DC Comics Universe. Still, it’s absolutely a superhero movie to watch, as we’re looking at the origin story of one of the greatest villains portrayed in superhero movies. I know I will have watched it before you actually get to finish this week’s new trailers — and, by the way, we have quite a few interesting ones.

If you’re looking for a different kind of distraction from real life, then Netflix’s In the Shadow of the Moon may be just what the doctor ordered. The crime/sci-fi Netflix original is worth checking out, telling a compelling time-traveling story of the Back to the Future rather than the Avengers: Endgame variety.

Several months ago the FDA announced a recall of all-purpose flour because it was probably tainted with E. coli. E. coli is no joke, but the recall was relatively small in terms of scale, with only a handful of lots having to be recalled. Unfortunately, it seems the recall wasn’t nearly large enough, because the FDA just announced that the company behind the product is recalling many, many more lots of the flour.

King Arthur Flour, Inc., and ADM Milling Company alerted the FDA that it is conducting a more wide-ranging recall that includes dozens of lots of flour in additional sizes.

Spotify executives over the past few months hasn’t been shy about leveling antitrust allegations at Apple, both in court and in interviews. Most notably, Spotify earlier in the year filed an antitrust complaint against Apple in the EU over the way Apple runs its App Store.

Specifically, Spotify maintains that the rules Apple enacted around the App Store “purposefully limit choice and stifle innovation at the expense of the user experience.” In a blog post on the matter, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek this past March took issue with the 30% “app tax” Apple levies on developers because it puts Apple’s own music service at a distinct advantage.

NASA’s InSight lander has been resting safely on Mars for nearly a year now, and it’s doing some seriously great work. Most of the robot’s suite of sensitive instruments have been working as intended, sending back data and recordings of seismic activity on the dusty planet. However, one of the tools, called the “mole,” has fallen well short of expectations.

The instrument is supposed to hammer itself into the surface, pushing itself to a depth of up to 16 feet to gather temperature readings. Unfortunately, the probe has failed to bury itself any deeper than about a foot, but NASA thinks it knows why.
