Spider-Man and James Bond are among the countless big screen characters and franchises that have gotten rebooted installments, and TV is giving us plenty of examples as well these days.

Range Anxiety used to be a legitimate concern amongst prospective Tesla buyers. And with good reason, no one wants to find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere with no charge left and not a charging station in sight. In an effort to address this concern, Tesla a few years ago astutely began rolling out a network of Supercharger stations wherein Tesla owners could charge up their vehicle in a relatively short amount of time.

In recent years, Tesla’s Supercharger network has expanded considerably all across the globe. As a point of reference, Tesla in 2014 had put up a total 221 Supercharger stations. By 2018, the number of Supercharger stations jumped to 1,375. Still, Tesla has no intention of scaling back its rollout of Supercharger stations, especially in light of how many more Tesla vehicles are on the road these days thanks to the popularity of the Model 3.

Between now and then, we’re also sure to get a steady stream of tidbits about everything from colors to internal specs related to the first foldable handsets on the way from device makers like Samsung and Huawei, with one of the newest details related to naming.

Huawei is reportedly pondering four names for the Chinese manufacturer’s first foldable device, with one of the names (“Mate Flex”) going the same route as a name under consideration for Samsung’s first foldable phone. As we reported a few days ago, Samsung executives internally are weighing “Samsung Flex” and “Galaxy Flex” as possibilities, though no device has as yet been made.

One of the most exciting and certainly headline-grabbing features of the Duplex AI feature that relies on Google Assistant is starting to come to Pixel phone owners. Sort of.

In a statement provided to VentureBeat, Google confirmed that it’s begun a “slow rollout” of the service, which offers an automated way to call a business and book reservations and appointments on your behalf. That’s the centerpiece of this new AI system, for now, and it definitely made waves when Google showed it off earlier this year complete with a very human-sounding AI voice doing the automatic calling on your behalf with all of the “ums” and pauses of natural human speech.

As part of an extensive piece on the future of the Diablo series (and the state of the game’s developer, Blizzard, as a whole), Kotaku’s Jason Schreier broke some exciting news: Warcraft is getting the Pokemon Go treatment.

For a bit of background: Blizzard announced at its annual BlizzCon event earlier in November that it is developing a mobile version of Diablo called Diablo Immortal. Fans of the franchise were incredibly upset that Blizzard didn’t have any substantial updates on the next major entry in the franchise (a PC or console game), and instead chose to save the announcement of a slimmed-down mobile version for the big reveal at the end of the keynote.

Now, an AI developer, inspired by HAL-9000, is building a real-life automated system for future space missions.

Yeah, this is usually the part where I say how bad of an idea this sounds but, as with so many science fiction tropes that fall apart in the real world, we probably don’t have any reason to fear this new artificial mind. Hopefully.
