  • Good looks ni Jeo Ong may koneksyon daw sa Korean drama na Jumong?!

    Good looks ni Jeo Ong may koneksyon daw sa Korean drama na Jumong?!

    MUKHANG may Korean drama connection ang good looks ni Jeo Ong!

    Bago pa man makilala bilang isa sa mga housemate na kinagigiliwan ngayon sa Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0, may nakakatuwang kwento na palang ibinahagi ang ina niyang si Janice.

    Nabanggit na kasi noon ng nanay ni Jeo kung saan siya ipinaglihi noong ipinagbubuntis pa.

    At sino pa nga ba? Walang iba kundi ang bidang karakter sa sikat na Korean historical drama na “Jumong”!

    Baka Bet Mo: Jeo Ong ipinagtanggol ng celebrity dentist: Fresh breath yan

    Mapapanood pa nga sa lumang vlog ng Ong Fam ang isang eksena kung saan nag-costume pa mismo ang binata para mas maging aliw ang pagpapaliwanag ni Janice.

    “Sa hindi nakakaalam, si Jeo [Ong], pinaglihi ko ‘yan kay Jumong,” sey ng ina ng PBB housemate.

    <iframe src=" width="560" height="314" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

    Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam, ang tinutukoy ni Janice ay ang karakter na Jumong mula sa sikat na South Korean historical television drama na may parehong pamagat.

    Ginampanan ito ng Korean actor na si Song Il-kook at naging patok na patok sa mga Pinoy nang ipalabas ang serye sa GMA Heart of Asia noong 2007.

    Samantala, hindi rin naman nakapagtataka kung bakit maraming viewers ang napapatingin kay Jeo ngayong bahagi na siya ng PBB Collab 3.0.

    Bukod kasi sa kanyang pagiging Adventure Boy-Next-Door ng Palawan, isa rin siya sa mga housemate na napapansin dahil sa kanyang good looks at charming personality.

    Patunay rito ang isang eksena sa Day 3 episode ng programa na umere noong October 26.

    Sa kanilang pag-uusap sa confession room, tinanong ni Kuya si Bela Arcal kung sino ang pinakapoging lalaki sa mga housemate.

    Hindi man agad maalala ni Bela ang pangalan ng tinutukoy niya, malinaw naman ang kanyang description.

    Ayon sa kanya, ang content creator na palaging nagsasabi ng “I got this” at nagsusuot ng bandana ang napansin niya.

    Nang subukan niyang banggitin ang pangalan nito, nasabi niya ang “Jef Ong,” na agad namang itinama ni Kuya dahil si Jeo Ong pala ang tinutukoy niya!

    Pero hindi lang mukha ang puhunan ni Jeo sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya. 

    Napansin din ng viewers ang pagiging maasikaso at masipag niya, lalo na sa pagtulong sa mga gawaing-bahay.

  • Google Staffers Say They’re Being Silenced From Telling the Public the Truth About AI

    Google Staffers Say They’re Being Silenced From Telling the Public the Truth About AI

    Workers at one of the most advanced AI labs on the planet say they have important information to share — but their employer is preventing them from speaking out.

    New reporting by the Washington Post revealed a growing divide between workers and management at Google’s DeepMind lab in London, where employees are gagged from letting the public know about their concerns due to a sweeping non-disparagement agreement.

    Non-disparagement agreements are a kind of legal corporate censorship, by which companies can ensure workers aren’t able to disclose info the company deems to be negative or critical. At the DeepMind labs, it appears to be having its intended effect, scaring workers who say they’d like to be able to keep the public involved as the technology progresses.

    “This technology is just really consequential and it’s also changing really fast,” one anonymous DeepMind staffer told WaPo. “The public wants to know and deserves to know and often this is the only way that people find out about the harms and potential harms that are happening.”

    Two of the lab’s staffers told the paper of a discussion group organized by their fellow workers to discuss the implications of the non-disparagement clause, which many signed as a condition for employment. Dozens of employees took part, some of them openly criticizing it with references to the dystopian surveillance state featured in George Orwell’s “1984.”

    Though questions are swirling over whether Google’s top brass would ever invoke the clause to go after staff — or if Google even could, legally speaking — workers say the agreements go too far regardless.

    As one DeepMind staffer told WaPo, even “if it’s not enforceable,” the attempted gag order speaks for itself: “the reason is to basically intimidate people.”

  • Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Now Boots on Jailbroken PS5 and iPhone 17 Pro Max

    Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Now Boots on Jailbroken PS5 and iPhone 17 Pro Max

    Nintendo’s Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launched on Switch 2 on November 5, and it is already running on a jailbroken PlayStation 5 and an iPhone. On PS5, Vampinity posted results in the GitHub repository for EglantinePS5, a PS5 port of a Switch emulator based on Eden. On firmware 12.40, the game loads a save, and Link can walk out of his house into Kokiri Forest at roughly 15 to 20 FPS. However, it runs out of memory a couple of minutes in, with heavy white fog and missing geometry in the forest. Vampinity calls it “nowhere near playable” and says Claude wrote the patches. Apparently, much of the shader work was borrowed from forks of Lichii, the emulator that got the remake running on PC on launch day.

    The iPhone port comes from developer Joe Jiang, who showed Kokiri Forest running on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. According to Jiang, memory was the hardest part, since the game wants about 9 GB while a single iPhone app is capped at 8,192 MB. He claims his approach keeps quality intact and peaks at just 3.4 GB when loading scenes. Apparently, the method isn’t specific to Ocarina, and Jiang says it could bring any Switch or Switch 2 game to iOS, iPadOS, Apple TV, Android, and HarmonyOS. He hasn’t released it yet, but it isn’t the first Switch 2 game on iPhone. Mario Kart World booted on one shortly after the console’s first jailbreak went public. The PS5 port, meanwhile, needs the Relapse jailbreak, which covers firmware 7.00 through 13.60. Neither is a practical way to play the game yet, but I’m sure Nintendo isn’t too happy about the remake breaking containment this quickly.

  • Boobsie may nakakalokang karanasan bago pumanaw si Ate Gay

    Boobsie may nakakalokang karanasan bago pumanaw si Ate Gay

    HINDING-HINDI malilimutan ni Boobsie Wonderland ang  huling pagkikita at pag-uusap nila ng kapwa komedyanteng si Ate Gay noong nabubuhay pa ito.

    Naging parang eksena pa rin daw kasi sa comedy bar ang mga huling sandali ni Ate Gay o Gil Aducal Morales sa tunay na buhay, nang bisitahin siya ni Boobsie sa kanilang bahay.  

    Pumanaw ang veteran comedian at kilalang impersonator ng Superstar na si Nora Aunor noong mismong All Saints’ Day, November 1, 2026 matapos makipaglaban sa cancer.

    Sa guesting ni Boobsie sa “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda” kasama ang mga kapwa comedian din na sina Wacky Kiray at Pepita Curtis, ay naikuwento nga niya ang huling pagkikita nila ni Ate Gay.

    Baka Bet Mo: Xian Gaza pinababayaran kay Alden Richards bill ni Ate Gay

    Binisita raw niya si Ate Gay sa bahay nito sa Tondo, Manila pagkatapos ang isinagawang living funeral para sa yumaong komedyante sa Forest Lake Memorial Parks, Biñan, Laguna.

    “After ng living funeral, naatasan po ako na ako yung humanap sa pamilya niya para mag-interview.

    “Kasi yung ginawa po sa akin ni Ate Gay dati sa Wish Ko Lang, parang payback ko naman sa kanya dahil tinawagan po ako ng Forest Lake Funeral,” kuwento ni Boobsie. 

    Pagpapatuloy niya, “Medyo nakakatawa po kasi nung pagpunta ko sa pamilya niya, hindi ko ine-expect na nandun siya sa Tondo.

    “So pagpasok ko ng bahay nila, sabi ng kapatid niya, ‘Ma’am Boobsie, diretso na po kayo sa itaas. Nandoon po si Ate Gay.’

    “So nagulat ako. Nawala na sa focus ko yung pag-iinterbyu sa kanya. Pagpunta ko sa itaas, naka-oxygen siya. Sabi ko, ‘Ate Gay, anong nangyari sa ‘yo? Bakit ganyan?’ 

    “Sabi niya, ‘Kahapon pa ako hindi makahinga.’ Nahihirapan daw siyang magsalita,” ani Boobsie.

    Habang nagchichikahan daw sila ay na-focus ang tingin ni Boobsie ang oxygen tank ni Ate Gay, “Napansin ko yung tangke. Sabi ko, ‘Paanong hindi ka makakahinga, e, yung tangke, hindi nakabukas?”

    “Opo, nakakatawa talaga. So ako, tawang-tawa talaga. Alam mo yung hindi kumukulo yung tangke?” natawang pag-alala pa ni Boobsie.

    “Alam n’yo, umaga pa raw siya nakaratay nang ganoon. Dumating kami, ala-singko nang hapon. 

    “Ang ibig sabihin mula umaga hanggang ala-5 nang hapon, nagtitiis siya nang ganoon. Sabi ko, ‘Daddy (partner niya), buksan mo nga yung tangke!’ Sabi niya (Ate Gay), ‘Boobsie, buti na lang, dumating kayong mag-asawa!’ Sabi niya, ‘Hirap na hirap na ako. Mabuti pala, dumating kayo.’

    “Napamura nga siya! Pagkabukas ng tangke, kumulu-kumulo na. Ay, yun pala, ganoon pala,” sabi pa ni

    Boobsi sabay dialogue ng, “Ate Gay, I love you!”
