Read MoreDo you know what’s on your portable drives? Or where you saw them last? Are they ready to store and share massive gobs of video? Are they blazing fast? The Iodyne Pro Mini is designed to be the (pricey) answer to all of that. It’s the first external SSD with a pair of Frore AirJet Mini Slim inside, a solid-state cooling chip that, the company says, helps it transfer data at a sustained three gigabytes per second with a drive no bigger than an iPhone.

That was true with his takes on Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game. It’s not the case with The Life of Chuck, which isn’t trying to creep you out or tap into your darkest nightmares.

Read MoreThis weekend, ESPN began publishing AI-generated recaps of women’s soccer games, with more sports to come. It’s using Microsoft AI to write each story, with humans only involved in reviewing each recap for “quality and accuracy.” ESPN says these stories will “augment,” rather than detract from, its other content but needless to say, people have feelings about it. It’s not that ESPN is masquerading AI work as that of humans.
