It’s been a long wait, but Daredevil: Born Again premieres on March 4 via Disney+. The streamer just dropped another trailer that’s filled with new footage, much of it proving that the pseudo-sequel series will stay true to its violent roots.

The trailer’s anchored around Matt Murdock sitting at a diner with arch-nemesis Wilson Fisk, calling to mind that famous scene in Heat between Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. The relationship between these two was one of the main reasons that the Netflix series worked so well, and the actors still have plenty of chemistry.

The footage is also ultra-violent, which should please fans of the original show. The bone-crunching looks to be extra, uh, visceral. Eagle-eyed viewers will also spot a bearded and disoriented Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, likely on his way to mow down 400 gangsters.

Daredevil’s best buds Karen and Foggy are in the footage, but briefly and without any speaking lines. We know they were only recently added to the show after a complete retool, which leaves me wondering how much we’ll see of the pair. 

Daredevil: Born Again stars Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Ayelet Zurer and Wilson Bethel, among others. It’s been over six years since the final season of the Netflix show premiered, so we are more than ready to go back to Hell’s Kitchen. As previously mentioned, this show has been in the works for a while. Disney+ actually filmed a large portion of the season before scrapping it all and starting over.

Xbox has announced a few more sustainability efforts, including an expansion of its repairability program. You’ll be able to buy official replacement parts for Xbox Series X/S systems from the Microsoft Store and iFixit so you can repair your console yourself, even if it’s out of warranty. Until now, Microsoft had only offered controller parts through its own store, but now you can buy components for the Series S and both the all-digital and disc drive editions of the Series X. Along with various parts and step-by-step repair guides, iFixit also has an Xbox toolkit for sale.

Meanwhile, as of January 20, uBreakiFix by Asurion will be the first Xbox Authorized Service Provider. It will repair the consoles at nearly 700 participating locations in the US. Previously, authorized in-person Xbox repairs were only available at the Microsoft Store, so gamers will have many more places where they can go to get their console fixed without breaking the warranty.

These are positive steps forward for the right-to-repair movement. They should help reduce the number of games consoles that are consigned to the scrapheap.

“By expanding the number of ways players can get support and repair for their Xbox consoles, we also help extend the longevity of Xbox devices, reduce waste, promote re-use and ultimately reduce our environmental impact,” Trista Patterson, director of gaming sustainability at Xbox, wrote in an Xbox Wire post. In addition, there are no longer any single-use plastics in Xbox Series X/S packaging following a switch to fully paper- and fiber-based materials.

Elsewhere on the sustainability front, Microsoft says that, through recent efficiencies in how the Xbox Series S handles video content, there’s been an average power reduction of 10 percent while media apps are in use. As for the company’s game studios, they’ve been using the Xbox Sustainability Toolkit to make more energy-efficient games, Microsoft says.

Honda has announced that its first original EV design, the Acura RSX, will use its proprietary Asimo operating system, according to The Verge. If those names sound familiar it’s because RSX is a Honda nameplate from the early 2000s, and Asimo was a Honda project to build humanoid robots from the area, which was finally mothballed in 2018. Everything old is new again.

Asimo OS was mentioned at CES 2025 alongside its 0 Series SUV and Saloon sedan EV concepts, but the Acura RSX will be the first production vehicle to get it. The operating system uses technology similar to its namesake robot to recognize external environments and understand people’s intentions, according to the company. It will also assist in the vehicle’s automated and advanced assisted driving functions.

The company’s current EVs — the Acura ZDX and the Honda Prologue — are both based on the General Motors Ultium platform. Production of the Acura RSX will take place in Honda’s new Fayette County, Ohio factory. The final beams of the plant were only erected a little less than a year ago, and it’s projected to have battery and RSX production up and running by the end of this year. Consumers should be able to get their hands on the new vehicle sometime in 2026.

While Honda is working hard on its EVs, its plans to merge with Nissan, announced at the end of last year, continue. The two companies have been collaborating on making EV components and software since August.

Axios is expanding its local newsletter presence from 30 to 34 cities. The catch? OpenAI is funding it. In its continued pretense of benefiting newsrooms, OpenAI has partnered with Axios in a three-year deal to cover Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Kansas City, Missouri; Boulder, Colorado; and Huntsville, Alabama. What does OpenAI get in exchange for its funding? Oh, just the ability to use Axios content to answer users’ questions.

Like the close to 20 newsrooms that OpenAI has already partnered with, Axios seems to have forgotten that the scorpion did end up stinging the frog. Instead, we have this starry-eyed statement from Axios co-founder and CEO Jim VandeHei: “We launched Axios Local nearly four years ago with the bold goal of bringing local news to communities across the country. OpenAI’s investment allows us to continue our expansion and aid us in bringing essential local news to deserving audiences.” 

Axios will be able to use OpenAI’s technology to create its own AI-powered systems and products. However, VandeHei issued a memo to employees stating the aforementioned technology won’t be used for reporting stories (sure, because no one has been laid off in favor of AI before — oh wait, wait some more and the list continues). The Axios announcement does, however, point out that The New York Times is currently suing both OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, so maybe there’s some awareness of what its entering into.

We recommend several Dyson models in our guide to the best cordless vacuums. While the Digital Slim isn’t on the list per se, it’s still an option perhaps worth considering if you’re in the market for a new vacuum — not least because that model is half off right now. You can snap it up from both Amazon and Dyson directly for $250.

This isn’t quite a record low price for this model. The Dyson Digital Slim was $270 off for Black Friday back in November. Still, half off is a decent deal by just about any metric.

At 4.4 pounds, the Dyson Digital Slim cordless stick vacuum is about a third lighter than the company’s popular V11 model. That should make it relatively easier to handle.

On the downside, the Digital Slim will run for about 40 minutes on a single charge. That means it’s probably best suited for smaller homes. That said, there is an LCD display that shows how much battery life is left, so you shouldn’t be caught unaware before it runs out of juice. The Digital Slim offers three power modes so you can balance power and runtime.

The vacuum has a capacity of 0.1 gallons and there’s a no-touch emptying mechanism. It also turns into a handheld with a single click for those hard-to-reach places and to help with cleaning the couch or your car. Dyson says the vacuum has a fully sealed, whole machine filtration system that captures dust and seals in 99.99 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
