In a year that is shaping up to be the most outstanding in Zendaya’s career, the actress is preparing to dazzle the audience with her participation in several renowned productions.

Among the most anticipated titles are ‘Dune: Part 3’, ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’, and ‘The Odyssey’, in collaboration with acclaimed director Christopher Nolan. Additionally, fans will be able to enjoy the highly anticipated third season of ‘Euphoria’, which will arrive on HBO Max on April 13.

A year full of premieres for Zendaya

Despite her growing popularity and visibility in film and television, Zendaya has expressed in interviews her concern about the possibility that the public may become “tired” of seeing her.

In a recent conversation with Fandango, the actress expressed her desire to take a break from her acting career after the busy year of 2026, where she hopes to be the center of attention in multiple premieres.

However, her fans should not be disheartened, as Zendaya will return to the entertainment world in the summer of 2027, voicing the protagonist’s daughter in ‘Shrek 5.’

With this imminent break, the 26-year-old actress seeks to balance her professional and personal life. Her intention to temporarily disconnect from acting reflects a growing trend among Hollywood talents, who prioritize their well-being amid a highly competitive industry.

This decision, although unexpected, suggests that Zendaya is very aware of her saturation in the market and wants to maintain her long-term relevance.

Ultimately, 2026 promises to be an unforgettable year for both the actress and her millions of followers around the world, who will not be able to escape her influence on the big screen.

The most used app from Samsung will disappear in 2026, what can you do?

Samsung has officially confirmed that it will discontinue its Messages app in July 2026, forcing users to adopt Google Messages as their default messaging app. The company posted a notice on its U.S. website, detailing that once the Samsung app is removed, sending messages through it will no longer be possible, except for emergency service numbers or contacts defined as such on devices.

Samsung has officially confirmed that it will discontinue its Messages app in July 2026, forcing users to adopt Google Messages as their default messaging app.

The company posted a notice on its U.S. website, detailing that, once the Samsung app is removed, sending messages through it will no longer be possible, except for emergency service numbers or contacts defined as such on the devices.

Goodbye to an era with more than 10 years of history

Since 2024, Samsung stopped pre-installing its own Messages app on high-end Galaxy devices, which already hinted at a transition to Google Messages.

As of the closing date, users will also see that they will not be able to download the Messages app from the Galaxy Store, reflecting a significant change in the company’s messaging strategy. However, users of devices running Android 11 or earlier versions will not be affected and will be able to continue using the Samsung Messages app without any issues.

To facilitate the transition, Samsung will encourage users to choose Google Messages as their default app, promising a more consistent messaging experience in the Android ecosystem. Meanwhile, Samsung Messages users will receive in-app notifications that will guide them through the switching process.

It is a simple procedure: when opening Google Messages, an option will appear to set it as the default SMS app, you just need to press “Set as default” to complete the transition.

Samsung warns that some devices launched before 2022 may experience temporary interruptions in RCS conversations when switching apps; however, chats are expected to resume once both users switch to Google Messages.

This decision responds to a larger trend in the industry, where other Android manufacturers have already opted for Google Messages, allowing users to benefit from advanced features, such as enhanced security supports and functionalities based on artificial intelligence.

Chuck Norris's family is fed up with everyone making AI videos of the deceased actor

Since the passing of Chuck Norris in March, a proliferation of misleading posts and videos generated by artificial intelligence has invaded the web.

These false contents have raised concern among the followers of the iconic actor and martial artist, who left an indelible mark on the world of action cinema. Norris’s family has issued a call to fans to avoid sharing or believing in this misinformation that has emerged on social media.

When AI Shows Its Darker Side

The family has explicitly stated that they are aware of the situation and have requested the community to exercise caution when consuming any content related to the actor’s death.

“Since Chuck passed away, there have been a series of videos and posts generated by artificial intelligence that are misleading,” they stated, emphasizing the need to verify the truthfulness of information before distributing it.

This phenomenon of misinformation is not exclusive to Chuck Norris, but has become increasingly common in the digital age, where artificial intelligence tools allow the creation of content that may seem authentic at first glance.

The situation has raised serious concerns about ethics and responsibility in the use of these technologies, especially regarding public figures and their families.

Fans have also expressed their distress over this situation, acknowledging that these videos and posts are not only misleading but can also affect the actor’s legacy and the memory of his life and career.

As technology advances, the call of Norris’s family resonates as a reminder of the importance of discerning between reality and fiction in an increasingly information-saturated environment.

The wait is almost over for fans of literary dystopias, as Disney+ will premiere the sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, titled The Testaments, on April 8, 2026.

This series is based on the eponymous novel by Margaret Atwood, published in 2019 and winner of the Booker Prize, which explores the future Republic of Gilead 15 years after the events of the original work.

Get ready for The Testaments: Disney+ presents the sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ was adapted for television in 2017, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon. The series, which has six seasons and 66 episodes available on HBO Max, tells the story of June, known as Offred, who lives under a totalitarian regime that has overthrown the U.S. government and forces women to bear children for the elites of Gilead.

In ‘The Testaments’, the narrative is enriched with new characters, such as Agnes, June’s daughter renamed in this version, and Daisy, a character from Canada.

The return of Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia, the authority figure who disciplined the Handmaids, adds a familiar touch for fans of the original series. Although Elisabeth Moss’s participation as June has not been confirmed yet, her role as an executive producer suggests a possible connection to the plot that fans are eagerly anticipating.

This sequel not only promises an exciting continuation but also raises questions about the future of society and resistance in an oppressive environment. The adaptation will be set three to four years after the events of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, and while it is expected to follow the line of its original material, some creative changes are anticipated. With the new series, fans are about to have a renewed immersion in the unsettling world of Gilead.

Why has Anthropic restricted OpenClaw?

In a move that has sparked controversy among users, Anthropic has decided to ban the use of Claude Pro and Max accounts on OpenClaw, forcing users to access their artificial intelligence models through the API and pay for their consumption. This decision has generated criticism among OpenClaw followers, who consider it unfair, despite acknowledging that the high token consumption associated with the use of the agent is a legitimate problem.

In a move that has sparked controversy among users, Anthropic has decided to ban the use of Claude Pro and Max accounts on OpenClaw, forcing users to access their artificial intelligence models through the API and pay for their usage.

This decision has generated criticism among the followers of OpenClaw, who consider it unfair, despite acknowledging that the high token consumption associated with the use of the agent is a legitimate problem.

A decision that affects thousands of users

OpenClaw, developed by Peter Steinberger, is an AI agent that allows users to manage their applications efficiently. The use of models like Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 has enabled many to maximize the functionality of OpenClaw under Anthropic’s Pro and Max plans.

However, the company argues that these plans are designed for programming, not for the intensive use that occurs on platforms like OpenClaw.

This decision comes shortly after OpenAI acquired OpenClaw, indicating a possible competitive strategy between the two AI companies. Critics point out that Anthropic’s approach resembles the walled garden of firms like Apple and Nintendo, which have restricted access to their ecosystems.

While Chinese companies like Kimi and Minimax offer more accessible models, Anthropic seems to be closing its platform by limiting the use of its more advanced capabilities.

Although Anthropic’s argument about the rising costs due to the intensive use of its models may be valid, the timing of this decision has raised doubts about the motivations behind it. With this move, Anthropic is not only looking to control the use of its resources but also to adapt to competition in a rapidly evolving market.

Next week, one of the best animes in television history returns

The acclaimed anime One Piece, which has been continuously airing since 1999, is about to undergo a significant change in its format. Starting in April 2026, the series will transition to a seasonal model, dividing into annual seasons with a total of 26 episodes each year. This change aims to improve the quality of animation and avoid the pacing issues that have characterized certain sagas in the past.

The acclaimed anime One Piece, which has been continuously airing since 1999, is about to undergo a significant change in its format. Starting in April 2026, the series will transition to a seasonal model, dividing into annual seasons with a total of 26 episodes each year.

This change aims to improve the quality of the animation and avoid the pacing issues that have characterized certain sagas in the past.

An anime that has over 1,000 episodes and counting

The series, which is currently in its Final Saga, has managed to adapt to the changing times of the anime industry. Since its debut, ‘One Piece’ has been a constant in television programming, but the success of modern animes like ‘Kimetsu no Yaiba’ and ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ has inspired Toei Animation to rethink the production of the series.

By adopting this new approach, it is expected that the animators will have more time to create a higher quality finish, bringing to the screen the complex world of Eiichiro Oda’s manga.

On April 5, 2026, ‘One Piece’ will return with the Elbaph Arc and will be available for simulcast on Crunchyroll and AnimeBox, while Netflix will offer the episodes starting April 11.

This return represents a historic moment not only for the series but also for the future of anime in general, as it marks a deviation from the traditional duration of productions. Toei Animation’s decision also aims to prevent unnecessary filler that has affected previous arcs such as Dressrosa and Wano.

The fan community eagerly awaits the return of Luffy and his crew, which promises to take them on thrilling adventures in the land of giants, while this new broadcasting model is established that could influence other series in the future.

Windows 11 wants to convince users and is considering reversing its most controversial measure in years

Let’s be honest, none of us liked that Windows made it fashionable to destroy native applications and that everything went through the web browser. Even the Microsoft Office suite, with Office 365, went straight to browsers, making the use of the sacred and mythical Microsoft Word never the same again. Fortunately, Microsoft has realized that this cannot be the future.

Let’s be honest, none of us liked that Windows made it fashionable to destroy native applications and that everything went through the web browser. Even the Microsoft Office suite, with Office 365, went straight to browsers, making the use of the sacred and mythical Microsoft Word never the same again. Fortunately, Microsoft has realized that this cannot be the future.

Microsoft plans to develop 100% native applications for Windows 11 and launch an initiative focused on a new team dedicated to native experiences, rather than web-based apps.

The company has also created a new team to lead this work, after years in which many basic and third-party applications for Windows have relied heavily on web technologies.

Return to the origins to regain users

Rudy Huyn, associate architect at Microsoft who works on the Store and File Explorer, stated in a Twitter post that he is forming a new team to work on Windows applications. “No prior experience with the platform is necessary… what matters most is having a strong product vision and a deep customer focus,” he wrote on the social network.

Huyn later stated in a response on Twitter that the new Windows 11 applications will be “100% native.” This description stands out at a time when many of Microsoft’s built-in tools, including Clipchamp and Copilot, rely on web technologies and progressive web application architectures.

The company’s commitment to native performance suggests that some long-standing frustrations around responsiveness, memory usage, and interface consistency could finally be resolved.

For Windows developers, Huyn’s comments point to a change in direction. Microsoft’s recent development priorities have largely leaned towards web-based approaches, with progressive web applications (PWAs) replacing or complementing many native programs.

This change has not always been well received by users. The version of WhatsApp for Windows 11, for example, abandoned its native WinUI framework in favor of a slower Chromium-based wrapper, a decision that drew criticism from users who preferred the faster native alternative.

Windows 11 wants to regain users’ trust

The new team emerges as Microsoft prepares a major update for Windows 11 to improve the performance of the core system and the responsiveness of the user interface.

The company claims that the update will reduce the startup times of File Explorer, speed up the loading of context menus, and move the Start menu to the WinUI interface. It will also introduce more flexible customization of the taskbar, including the ability to change its size and position, and a “compact layout” reminiscent of Windows 10.

The commitment to rebuild applications natively seems to complement these broader interface and performance goals. For Microsoft, it could mark the beginning of a more cohesive strategy to make Windows 11 feel modern and responsive, following years of iterative design changes and user complaints.

Back in 2020, the then head of Windows, Panos Panay, made a famous statement saying that the company wanted users to “love Windows, not just need it.” Those ambitions led to few visible changes before Panay’s departure. Six years later, the new leaders of Windows at Microsoft seem determined to turn that sentiment into action.

It is still unclear which specific applications will be rebuilt, nor how strictly the requirement to be 100% native will be applied. Some current Microsoft applications classified as native still rely on WebView for specific functions. But let’s not lose faith; it seems to be the change we wanted to see in Windows 11.

Everything we know about the third installment of Super Mario Bros.: the movie

The success of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is expected to have one of the biggest openings of the year, raises expectations that a third installment will be confirmed soon.

The movie Super Mario Bros.: The Movie 3 has not been officially announced yet, but projections suggest it could be released in 2029, based on the release pattern of its predecessors.

The success of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is expected to have one of the biggest openings of the year, raises expectations that a third installment will be confirmed soon.

Some specific details

Although there is no trailer available or concrete information about its production, it is speculated that iconic characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Bowser will reprise their roles. In addition, the inclusion of new characters like Rosalina, Yoshi, Bowser Jr., and Daisy is anticipated.

The introduction of Princess Daisy in the post-credits scene of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie suggests that Sarasaland could be the next setting in the story, opening the door to new adventures in the Mario universe.

Recent rumors indicate that Illumination, the studio behind the movies, may be considering spin-offs of Donkey Kong or Star Fox, reflecting an intention to expand its cinematic universe based on Nintendo franchises. Some speculate that these films could be creating a narrative that eventually leads to a Super Smash Bros. movie, although there is currently no clear evidence to support this theory.

As discussions about the future of movies continue, Mario fans are eager to see how this film saga will unfold. With a combination of familiar characters and new additions, the third chapter promises to further expand the beloved universe for both video game and movie fans alike.

YouTuber manages to complete Dark Souls without dodging a single time throughout the game

A well-known YouTuber named Zeldasouls has completed an impressive challenge by finishing Dark Souls at soul level 1, a feat that includes the prohibition of using dodge rolls, ranged weapons, and throwable items.

A YouTuber known as Zeldasouls has completed an impressive challenge by finishing Dark Souls at soul level 1, a feat that includes the prohibition of using dodge rolls, ranged weapons, and throwable items.

These types of challenges have proliferated in the gaming community, but the dedication and effort invested by Zeldasouls in carrying out this task make it an exceptional achievement.

For two years, the content creator dedicated countless hours to developing strategies, facing the fierce bosses of the game time and again without the help of mechanics that many consider essential.

A feat that seems impossible

Throughout his journey, Zeldasouls faced every self-imposed limit, which made each encounter a heart-wrenching experience, filled with constant frustrations and challenges. In his own words, the YouTuber expressed: “I have no words to describe how I feel now that this is over. This is, without a doubt, the hardest challenge ever undertaken in Dark Souls 1, and possibly in the entire Souls series.”

Although the challenge may seem simple compared to other absurd achievements recorded in the community —such as completing the game with a bongo controller or facing bosses while performing seppuku—, the difficulty of defeating the toughest opponents in the game without the most basic gameplay tools should not be underestimated.

Videos like Zeldasouls not only highlight the level of skill required for such feats but also inspire other players to attempt similar challenges, thus becoming an integral part of video game culture.

For those interested, the full video lasts just over three hours, which invites a tense and cautious journey through the most iconic places of Dark Souls, showcasing a level of attention that only the most dedicated fans could maintain. The final result highlights the creator’s commitment and is a testament to the persevering spirit of the gaming community.

MindsEye wants to make a Cyberpunk 2077 with its upcoming updates

The open-world game MindsEye, developed by Build a Rocket Boy and directed by the renowned Leslie Benzies, continues in a quest for redemption after a sales failure marked by launch issues. Mark Gerhard, CEO of the studio, has expressed his confidence that MindsEye can achieve success comparable to that of Cyberpunk 2077, despite the mixed reviews it has received, with 67% of favorable opinions in the 98 new reviews on Steam.

The open-world game MindsEye, developed by Build a Rocket Boy and directed by the renowned Leslie Benzies, continues in a quest for redemption after a sales failure marked by launch issues.

Mark Gerhard, CEO of the studio, has expressed his confidence that MindsEye can achieve success comparable to that of Cyberpunk 2077, despite the mixed reviews it has received, with 67% of favorable opinions in the 98 new reviews on Steam.

From Failure to Success by Exposing the Sabotages

Despite Gerhard’s self-criticism regarding the game’s launch, where he acknowledged it was “the worst in history,” the sales data presented is ambiguous. Although the CEO claims that sales are increasing organically, nearly doubling weekly, the reality on Steam reveals a more complex picture.

The return rates stand at 2.2% for Xbox Series X|S and 3.2% for PS5, figures that are in line with industry averages but do not encourage optimists.

Gerhard has also claimed that MindsEye was the target of sabotage by disgruntled former employees and content creators, which has led to an ongoing investigation in the UK and the United States. “We have identified those involved, and the matter is now in the hands of the authorities,” explains the CEO. However, these conspiracy rumors may be seen as a defensive strategy in a context where the game’s failure has been resounding.

Meanwhile, the cancellation of the Everything project, which promised to be similar to Roblox, indicates that Build a Rocket Boy is facing difficulties not only with MindsEye but also in managing future projects. Without an effective relaunch and with a notable decline in the number of active players, achieving a resurgence comparable to that of Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be a challenging task for Gerhard and his team.
