Fox-owned Tubi launched Mixtapes, a feature that lets users create and share ordered playlists of movies and TV shows available on the free streaming service. Users need a Tubi account to create a Mixtape, but viewers can watch shared lists without one.
Key Facts
Tubi says its catalog includes nearly 400,000 movies and TV episodes.
Users can title and describe a Mixtape, arrange its items, and publish it or keep it private.
Users can build a Mixtape themselves or ask Tubi for a suggested starting list, which they can edit.
Tubi’s Mixtapes site includes examples such as “Millennial Memory Lane” and “Bald Baddies.”
A 2025 Gracenote survey of 3,000 consumers across six countries found that nearly 33% said streaming fragmentation harmed their TV experience.
In the same survey, 49% said difficulty finding something to watch could lead them to cancel a service, and 19% said they would abandon a viewing session after an unsuccessful search.
The article describes comparable shared-list features on Mubi, Plex, and JustWatch.

Valve has begun publishing average frame rates and performance charts on many Steam Store pages, using anonymized data from players who opted in. The figures give buyers a way to compare how games run on Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED beyond Valve’s Verified and Unsupported labels, though settings such as frame-rate limits can affect the results.
Key Facts
Valve has collected anonymized frame-rate data from opted-in Steam players since February.
Valve now displays averages and frame-rate histograms for Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED on many Steam Store pages.
Valve says settings such as VSync and frame-rate limits can affect the collected measurements, which do not account for users’ custom in-game settings.
Cyberpunk 2077 averages about 30–40 frames per second on Steam Deck, while Skyrim: Special Edition usually reaches 50–60, despite both being Verified.
Some games marked Unsupported, including Starfield, Silent Hill 2, and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, show playable frame rates in user reports; Syndicate approaches a 60 FPS average on Steam Deck OLED.
Watch Dogs 2 is marked Unsupported because of anti-cheat compatibility issues, but users report averages above 40 FPS in its single-player modes.
Code found in Steam client files has pointed to a possible future tool that would estimate game frame rates for different PC configurations.

A Global Carbon Project analysis estimates that fossil fuel emissions will fall about 0.4% in 2026, largely because the war in Iran raised oil prices. Researchers expect emissions to resume growing in coming years, as growth in electric vehicles and renewable power is not yet enough to offset all emissions growth.
Key Facts
The researchers estimate global fossil fuel emissions will be about 0.4% lower in 2026 than in 2025.
Oil-related emissions are projected to fall 1.9%, while natural gas emissions fall 0.3% and coal emissions rise 0.6%.
The analysis links most of the decline in oil emissions to high prices; electric vehicles account for about one-fifth of it.
Electric vehicles and new solar and wind generation covered nearly 70% of the growth in energy demand.
Fossil fuel emissions rose 1.2% in 2025, compared with an average annual increase of 0.8% from 2019 to 2025.
From 2019 to 2025, 59 countries reduced emissions despite economic growth.
The researchers estimate emissions would have grown 1.9% annually from 2019 to 2025 without growth in electric vehicles and solar and wind power.
Based on economic growth projections through 2028, researchers expect global fossil fuel emissions to keep rising after the temporary 2026 dip.

A review in Science examined evidence that GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide may affect brain health. Observational studies and animal research suggest possible benefits, but trials in people with early Alzheimer’s found that semaglutide did not slow clinical decline, leaving unclear whether any brain effects come directly from the drugs or from better metabolic health.
Key Facts
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic and mimics the GLP-1 hormone.
Tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro and Zepbound, targets GLP-1 and GIP hormone pathways.
Obesity, Type 2 diabetes and vascular problems are associated with cognitive impairment and dementia.
Analyses of patient data linked GLP-1 drugs with lower rates of cognitive impairment and dementia, but those studies cannot show that the drugs caused the difference.
Animal studies have suggested GLP-1-based treatments can affect learning and memory.
Novo Nordisk’s EVOKE and EVOKE+ Phase 3 trials found that semaglutide did not slow clinical progression of early Alzheimer’s, although some disease-related biomarkers changed.
The review’s authors said future research needs to determine which people might benefit and when treatment would need to start.

Meta has expanded AI age estimation worldwide on Instagram and is adding it to Facebook, with a similar rollout planned for Threads by the end of 2026. The system looks for account clues that suggest a user is a teenager and can move flagged accounts into more restricted Teen Accounts or remove them where age-based bans apply; experts question whether the measures will prevent online harm.
Key Facts
Meta says the rollout will place millions more young people in Teen Accounts.
The system checks account details for clues such as school grades and birthday mentions, and uses images and videos for visual cues; Meta says it does not use facial recognition.
Teen Accounts are private by default, restrict some content and messaging, and can be supervised by parents.
Meta says the system has already been deployed in more than 20 countries before the global expansion.
In the United States, Meta plans a two-hour daily limit and a midnight-to-6 a.m. curfew for users under 18.
In Australia, Meta says it has begun using an Apple feature that shares a user’s age range with apps.
Meta linked the rollout to an August settlement of a lawsuit brought by 29 states and supported by 52 attorneys general, which accused the company of harming young users and failing to verify their ages.

Generative AI tools can create illustrations from text prompts, raising concerns that they may replace storyboard artists in film production. Artists and directors describe storyboarding as a collaborative creative process that helps shape a film’s visual language, not just a way to produce finished drawings.
Key Facts
Storyboard artists draw panels and notes to map scenes before filming and communicate a director’s vision to the cast and crew.
The article says AI tools that generate illustrations from text prompts appear to target storyboard work.
Storyboard artists often work with directors, cinematographers, editors, production designers and stunt coordinators.
Artist Alex Clark says storyboarding involves developing ideas collaboratively and deciding how best to tell a scene visually.
Denis Villeneuve has described frequent storyboard collaborator Sam Hudecki as an extension of his brain.
Martin Scorsese announced a partnership with an AI firm in June and used its text-to-image model in storyboarding for his next film.
