Peering through Lenovo’s transparent laptop into a sci-fi future

Lenovo has unveiled a futuristic concept device, the ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The laptop features a 17.3-inch bezel-less display that becomes less transparent as its pixels light up, ultimately becoming a completely opaque white surface. Lenovo demonstrated the laptop’s object recognition capabilities using AI, which could be beneficial for digital artists to sketch the world behind the screen while working on the lower half of the device. Although Lenovo does not plan to release this laptop as a consumer device, it aims to incorporate its technologies into future models.

The strange $55 million saga of a Netflix series you will never see

The costly and chaotic production of a Netflix sci-fi series called "Conquest" directed by Carl Erik Rinsch never made it to release. Despite Netflix's initial excitement and a whopping $55 million budget, the show never saw completion.

Now, Rinsch and Netflix are engaged in a confidential arbitration proceeding over contractual breaches and financial damages. This failed project serves as a cautionary tale amid Hollywood's changing landscape and the growing need to cut back on extravagant spending.
