The series, a prequel to the Ted movies debuting Thursday on Peacock, harnesses an augmented reality tool called ViewScreen Studio, developed by Fuzzy Door Tech, the production company’s technology unit. It allows the film crew to see digital assets, like the title animated
Tucked away in the parking lot of an easily overlooked hotel not too far from the Las Vegas Convention Center sits a red and white trailer with the word “Chill” sprawled across it. It’s one of the many CES adjacent displays that most people barely take note of as they hustle to and from appointments.

The approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs includes those from heavy hitters such as Grayscale, BlackRock, Fidelity, Invesco, and others. The move is seen as a major endorsement of digital currenc
