The Chicago Cubs are under a ton of pressure headed into the postseason, and they’ve also got arguably more question marks than any other contender. But amid a thin rotation, a relatively inexperienced bullpen, and some second-half slumps for players who played their best baseball ever in the first half, the one thing Chicago was supposed to be able to bank on was Kyle Tucker’s consistency. By now, most know the story. Tucker got benched for three games last week following a six-week slump, and in the middle of that stretch, it was revealed that the superstar outfielder had played through a hairline fracture in his hand that he suffered all the way back on June 1. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA – AUGUST 24: Kyle Tucker #30 of the Chicago Cubs in action against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on August 24, 2025 in Anaheim, California. (Photo by Luke Hales/Getty… Hales/Getty Images What’s done is done, but now that Tucker has three home runs since returning from his brief timeout, do the Cubs still have reason to be concerned? According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, the answer is a resounding “yes.” On Wednesday, Bowden called Tucker’s summer slump his “biggest concern” surrounding the team as the September stretch run approaches. “Tucker was the aircraft carrier of the Cubs during the first three months of the season, taking pressure off everyone else as he starred in the field, on the bases and at the plate, performing like a top-10 player in the sport — one who could land a $500 to $600 million contract this offseason in free agency,” Bowden wrote. “It looks like the rest helped, as Tucker had hit .295/.355/.630 over his last seven games entering Tuesday. … Can he keep it up? The Cubs need Tucker at his best if they’re going to close the season strong and have success in October.” If the Cubs had a few more years of team control over Tucker, it might be less concerning that he played through injury for such a long time. But the Cubs know they might only get one shot to make a deep playoff run with Tucker before he hits free agency this winter. All of Tucker’s July and August struggles will be forgiven if he shines in October. But has he already been put at a disadvantage thanks to playing through that injury for such an extended stretch?

The Dallas Cowboys finalized their 53-man roster on Tuesday afternoon, but as we said many times in the lead up to it, nothing about it was ever truly finalized. In their initial finalization the Cowboys took advantage of the injured reserve spots that they are allowed per NFL rules. Each club is allowed to place

We’re now just two weeks away from the Apple iPhone 17 event. Themed “Awe dropping” this year, it’ll be livestreamed on YouTube at 1PM ET from Cupertino. We’ll also have Engadget staff reporting and liveblogging from the event. This year is shaking up to be a departure from recent events, with the strong possibility of an all-new superthin iPhone expected to join the company’s lineup. Also on tap could be new Apple Watch models — including the first truly new Ultra model in two years — and (maybe) the long-awaited AirPods Pro 3. But toggling back to phones: Apple’s iPhone family will likely welcome a new member this year. The iPhone Air is expected to be roughly 5.55 mm thick. That bests the thinnest model so far, which was 2014’s iPhone 6, at 6.9 mm. And they’ve only gotten chunkier since then. (The iPhone 16 Pro has a depth of 8.25 mm.) So, the Air would stand out from its peers in that respect. It would also give Apple a direct rival to Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, which we found to be more than a gimmick. But the iPhone Air’s thin design will likely lead to some compromises. It’s rumored to have only a single 48 MP camera and a smaller battery. So, expect a stylish phone that… won’t be for everyone. This is the image that accompanied Apple’s event invitations this year. (Apple) The Pro lineup could offer some design tweaks and performance improvements. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to switch from titanium to aluminum. They could also see the rear camera array expand to an entire “island” that extends across most of the phone’s backside. It’s expected to house three cameras (as before), but multiple rumors have suggested it will have an improved telephoto one. The zoom lens could jump to 48MP, which would strengthen its digital zooming / cropping chops. The phones may also add an anti-glare coating, similar to those found on iPads. The standard iPhone 17 could see some welcome display upgrades. At least one supply chain source claimed it will add a 120Hz variable refresh rate (ProMotion) display, which the Pro series has used since 2021. Apple One thing we know without a doubt is that the new iPhones will launch with iOS 26, which brings Apple’s biggest design refresh in years. It’s easy to imagine the company highlighting the new model’s displays as the best way to experience the new Liquid Glass visual language. As for the naming scheme, there haven’t been any leaks pointing to a similar hardware rebranding (“iPhone 26,” “iPhone 26 Pro,” etc.). But hey, Apple does like surprises. Engadget’s iPhone 17 rumor roundup gives you a deeper dive into what to expect from the new models. Cherlynn Low for Engadget Apple’s fall event isn’t just for iPhones. The company is also expected to roll out new Apple Watch models. 5G and a processor upgrade are expected for the Apple Watch Ultra 3. It may also let you send texts via satellite, handy for those who use it out in the wilderness. Regardless of the details, Apple hasn’t launched a new rugged and premium model since 2023 (apart from a new color), so it’s due for an upgrade. The Series 11 model is unlikely to depart dramatically from the Series 10. After all, that model introduced a new design, with a thinner body and larger screen. (And Apple has historically kept those around in three-year cycles.). But a faster chip also seems logical. Perhaps we’ll see 5G arrive on the standard wearable, too. We may also see the AirPods Pro 3 at the event. It’s been about three years since Apple last upgraded its premium earbuds. The new model could also bring some biometric sensors to the earphones: an in-ear heart-rate monitor and (maybe) temperature sensing. Live translation is also rumored, although that may not be exclusive to the third-gen model. Will there be other announcements? Time will tell, but now we know we won’t have to wait long to find out. The official countdown clock has begun, and the answers are just days away. Read More

Entertainment News culture Netflix a lâché 200 millions de dollars pour faire ce film au casting 5 étoiles, les abonnés continuent de dire que c’est le “pire jamais réalisé” Publié le 25/08/2025 à 22:09 Avant les 320 millions de The Electric State, le film le plus cher de Netflix a coûté 200 millions de dollars à la plateforme. Un bon investissement, puisque le long-métrage en question compte parmi les films les plus regardés de la plateforme. Un mystère pour les internautes, qui le trouvent nul… Prendre une carte abonnement Netflix sur Micromania Le plus gros succès de Netflix… En 2021, Netflix a tenté de s’établir dans le genre du blockbuster avec Red Notice, un film qui, sur papier, était parfaitement bankable. Au programme de cette comédie d’action, une chasse aux trésors qui pourrait rappeler les aventures de Nathan Drake et ses acolytes dans la saga Uncharted, un réalisateur qui s’est aussi bien essayé aux thrillers qu’aux longs-métrages humoristiques, et un casting composé des plus grandes stars du cinéma d’action à l’époque, à savoir Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (Hobbs and Shaw), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), et Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman). D’après les données publiées par Netflix, cette expérience fut une réussite, puisque le film de Rawson Marshall Thurber (Skyscraper) a dépassé toutes les attentes du géant de la SVOD, tout du moins sur le plan du visionnage. En effet, après 11 jours d’exploitation, Red Notice est devenu le film le plus regardé de la plateforme dans les 28 jours suivant sa sortie, dépassant Bird Box, qui occupait cette position depuis 2018. Avec ses 230 millions de vues et son budget de 200 millions de dollars, Red Notice a été un vrai succès pour Netflix, qui prépare actuellement deux suites. Une perspective que les téléspectateurs ont du mal à comprendre étant donné la qualité du film. Encore aujourd’hui, les internautes restent médusés par le succès de Red Notice, plombé aussi bien par la critique que par le public à sa sortie. Sur Rotten Tomatoes, le long-métrage affiche un score de 37%, appuyé par des avis qui se rejoignent sur de nombreux points, notamment un scénario bancal, un manque de profondeur alarmant, et des effets spéciaux qui font passer les pires scènes du MCU comme des chefs-d’œuvre de technologie (coucou au troisième œil de Dr. Strange). C’est le pire film jamais réalisé. Il n’y aucune autre façon de le dire. Tout simplement le pire film jamais réalisé. Sur les réseaux, les internautes semblent tous d’accord pour qualifier Red Notice de “pire film jamais réalisé”, taclant aussi bien les effets spéciaux que les dialogues, tout en passant par le jeu d’acteur de Johnson, Reynolds, et Gadot, qui ne change pas peu importe le film, donnant l’impression qu’ils jouent continuellement le même personnage. Pire encore, le fameux plot twist du film, que même le plus inattentif des téléspectateurs peut voir arriver à des kilomètres à la ronde. Mais peu importe leur avis, Netflix a décidé que les protagonistes de Red Notice reviendraient dans deux suites, qui, espérons-le, apprendront des erreurs du premier film.

Key Takeaways: o1.exchange raised $4.2 million in a funding round led by Coinbase Ventures and AllianceDAO. The platform introduces a 45% cashback program and 41% referral revenue share to boost user adoption. Features include on-chain trading terminal, TradingView enterprise charts, multi-wallet management, and fastest trade execution at ≤1 block. The Base ecosystem just got a major push. o1.exchange, which calls itself the first full-scale trading terminal built on Base, has announced a $4.2 million funding round alongside the rollout of an aggressive cashback and referral rewards program. Backed by Coinbase Ventures and AllianceDAO, the platform aims to set a new benchmark for decentralized trading infrastructure. Funding Round: A Strategic Boost for Base The increase in funds to $4.2 million places o1.exchange as one of the best-funded projects in the Base ecology. The fact that the parent ecosystem Base will be directly involved in the success and credibility of the project arouses the willingness of Coinbase Ventures to lead the round. The backing also has a strategic depth as AllianceDAO is also an incubator that works with high-potential crypto startups. This new round of funding will be utilized to speed the pace of building utility around o1.exchange trading platform, deepen into integration with leading protocols and launch reward systems to target both retail traders and professional market players. The investment is also an indication of the emerging desire of venture firms to invest in infrastructure level projects within Base, particularly those that have the potential to open up liquidity, transparency, and efficiency in execution. Key Features of the o1.exchange Trading Terminal Advanced On-Chain Capabilities o1.exchange is positioning itself as the “Bloomberg Terminal for Base,” offering a suite of tools rarely seen in decentralized environments. These include: On-chain data analytics: Aggregated DEX data and wallet tracking in real time. TradingView Enterprise Charts: Traders can expand candlestick data to review detailed trade flows within specific timeframes. Advanced order types: Limit orders, sniping, and TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) execution strategies. Execution speed: Trades settle in one block or less, minimizing slippage. This focus on execution speed is particularly notable. In decentralized markets, transaction delays can erode profitability. By promising ≤1 block execution, o1.exchange is competing not just with DEX interfaces but even with some centralized exchanges in terms of responsiveness. Wallet and Multi-Chain Support The multi-wallet management is possible in the platform and features a self-custodial wallet that provides ease of use along with security as well. It has inbuilt cross-chain support and bridging functionalities which allows cross-chain mobility of assets. The compatibility with almost all the Base launchpad projects such as Zora, BaseApp, Virtuals, and ClankerOnBase has another synergy layer on the ecosystem. Liquidity access and sophisticated order capabilities are also aggressively enabled through partnerships with Uniswap V4. Read More: Base Network Outage Raises Red Flags Over Centralized Sequencer Design Incentive Programs: Cashback and Referrals The most impressive announcement besides the news about the funding is that it has launched an ambitious cashback and referral program: 45% cashback rate: Traders get back almost 50% of the trade fees charged, a level much higher than most of their centralized or decentralized competitors can afford to pay. 41% referral revenue share: First movers and customers can earn money out of their networks and this can lead to viral growth. This type of aggressive incentive is meant to bring on board users at a fast pace within a flooded DeFi market. With competition from platforms on Ethereum, Solana, and other L2 networks, o1.exchange appears to be betting on rewards to capture trader loyalty. Competitive Landscape: Why This Matters Whereas the meme tokens and NFT in Base have exploded, the trading infrastructure on the network is still relatively underdeveloped. Instant access to a wide variety of tools is a priority of most traders who still use traditional DEX interfaces. By establishing an integrated end to end terminal with enterprise level capabilities, o1.exchange is standing out among other Base projects. Its tactics resemble a similar situation of Binance or FTX in the initial stages of its development using sophisticated trading features and rewards to get ahead of the competition. Provided it works, o1.exchange can be become the hub where serious traders on Base will trade, thus generating liquidity and making the market deeper and more mature. Layer-2 networks such as Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism are catching the eye of more institutional players. These ecosystems are appealing in their scaled down, interoperable, scalable nature and to high-frequency trading and structured financial products.

A few minutes after Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted at a possible rate cut during his speech at Jackson Hole, Binance futures experienced a sharp uptick. According to market data analysis from CryptoQuant, Binance futures products recorded a $300 million upsurge in 15 minutes after the Fed Chair’s speech. As a result, Binance’s BTC Open Interest (OI) jumped to around $13.3 billion. Meanwhile, the total crypto OI surged by 8.5 percent to about $215 billion. The sudden market shift also resulted in more than $656 million of crypto derivatives liquidated in the past 24 hours Bitcoin Price Rebounds on Possible Fed Rate Cuts in 2025 Bitcoin price regained bullish sentiment following Fed Chair Powell’s remarks at the Jackson Hole conference. President Donald Trump welcomed the Fed rate cut goodwill but highlighted it ought to have happened a year ago. “With policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance,” Fed Chair Powell stated. The flagship coin rallied over 4 percent on Friday to trade above $117k during the mid North American session. The wider altcoin industry followed in tandem, led by Ethereum (ETH), thus pushing the total crypto market towards $4.12 trillion.  Meanwhile, Kalshi traders increased their bets on a potential 25 bps Fed rate cut in September to 79 percent and reduced their stake on possible the Fed maintaining its rate between 4.25% and 4.5% to 18 percent. What’s Next? With the renewed demand for Bitcoin by whale investors, a fresh bull market is likely in the coming weeks. However, Bitcoin price must consistently close above $120k to invalidate the midterm bearish sentiment towards $108k. We’d Love to Hear Your Thoughts on This Article! Was this writing helpful?
