Looking for an impressive gaming monitor to match your powerful desktop? The 32-inch version of the Samsung Odyssey G8 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is currently marked down from $1,300 to just $1,100.

What makes some souls linger on Earth, long after their mortal lives have ended? According to Netflix’s Haunted Hotel, the new animated comedy from Rick and Morty and Krapopolis creator Matt Roller, it has to do with unfinished business — a lost item never found, a bucket-list item never checked off, an anxiety never quelled. What makes some shows linger in the mind, long after the end credits have rolled? Here, too, Haunted Hotel furnishes an answer, albeit probably not the one it intends. Despite a solid cast and some decent jokes, the series rarely rises above the level of…

Every now and then, researchers at the biggest tech companies drop a bombshell. There was the time Google said its latest quantum chip indicated multiple universes exist.
