Landman got a happy ending when season two concluded on Sunday.

After a devastating penultimate episode, the mega-hit Paramount+ oil drama starring Billy Bob Thornton drilled on with its season finale, as Tommy Norris (Thornton) got son Cooper (Jacob Lofland) out of legal trouble for retaliating against the man who attacked his fiancée Ariana (Paulina Chávez) and moved onto his next threat: Demi Moore’s Cami, who had just fired Tommy as president from M-Tex Oil.

The early theme of Apple TV’s 2026 is new seasons of existing shows. January was packed with five such series, and now a couple more are coming in February—including a big-budget sci-fi epic. Here’s everything new coming to Apple TV in February.

Elon Musk has come through on his promise to publish the latest version of the X “For You” feed algorithm, which provides more insight into how X is looking to maximize user engagement, and ensure you’re seeing the most relevant posts every time you log into the app.

And considering that the average X user only sees 20-30 posts per day in the feed, that’s more important than ever, with X working to boost retention and interest in a relatively short space of time.

The last time we did comparative tests of AI models from OpenAI and Google at Ars was in late 2023, when Google’s offering was still called Bard. In the roughly two years since, a lot has happened in the world of artificial intelligence. And now that Apple has made the consequential decision to partner with Google Gemini to power the next generation of its Siri voice assistant, we thought it was high time to do some new tests to see where the models from these AI giants stand today.

For this test, we’re comparing the default models that both OpenAI and Google present to users who don’t pay for a regular subscription—ChatGPT 5.2 for OpenAI and Gemini 3.2 Fast for Google. While other models might be more powerful, we felt this test best recreates the AI experience as it would work for the vast majority of Siri users, who don’t pay to subscribe to either company’s services.

1Password has a new tool designed to counteract the advantages AI has given to phishing scammers. A new feature for the company’s browser extension gives you a ”second pair of eyes” to help you catch a bogus website before entering your login info.

Before AI, phishing attempts often included telltale signs like obvious typos or rudimentary graphic design. Now that AI makes it much easier to design and code convincingly, scams are on the rise. According to Fortune, 60 percent of companies reported an increase in fraud-related losses from 2024 to 2025. And the advent of AI browsers could make things even worse.

Apple has announced its decision to implement additional advertisements within App Store search results, though the upcoming change will initially be limited to users in the UK and Japan.

While many of us are familiar with the advertising and branding campaigns of Apple itself, ads within the company’s iOS App Store are often little more than a nuisance for end users. Now, iPhone and iPad users will have to deal with even more advertisements, according to an Apple note to developers this week.
