A New TRON: ARES Detail Could Change Everything We Know About the Grid — GeekTyrant
The report sheds light on what's driving the story of this highly anticipated threequel:
'The yin to the Dillinger's yang is Kevin Flynn's tech company Encom, now led by Greta Lee's Eve Kim. The Dillingers and Eve are both searching for Flynn's 'permanence code', which would enable the existence of digital assets in the real world.'
The 'Permanence Code' is officially a thing, and its implications are huge. If you remember the end of Tron: Legacy , Quorra, an ISO, entered the real world with Sam Flynn. The permanence code now raises a big question: Is Quorra's existence unstable? Could her survival (and maybe other digital beings) depend on this code?
Director Joachim Rønning hinted at something along these lines months ago when he teased the film's Pinocchio-inspired allegory, centered around a sinister digital protagonist longing for life beyond the Grid. That allegory now makes perfect sense as the permanence code is essentially the franchise's version of 'becoming a real boy.'
Interestingly, this concept was teased before. A set photo shared by Rønning on Instagram showed the word 'permanence' on a script page. Now, it's clear this is the foundation of the movie's central conflict.
If the permanence code can pull Light Cycles, Recognizers, or even entire programs into reality? That's a game-changer. Imagine a world where Grid tech becomes physical, opening doors to major moral and existential dilemmas, exactly the kind of big sci-fi ideas Tron thrives on.
But the real mystery is what this means for Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) and Quorra (Olivia Wilde). They've been off the grid (literally) for 15 years, and now we're left wondering:
Did Quorra survive without this permanence code? Is the permanence code the key to her continued existence? Or, worst-case scenario, is she already gone?
No one involved with the production has confirmed or denied their return, but this new detail makes their absence, or presence, way more interesting.
The permanence code could redefine the Tron universe, blur the line between digital and physical reality, and finally answer what happened after that fateful sunrise ride at the end of Legacy.
What do you think, will we see what happened to Quorra? Or is Tron: Ares setting up a heartbreaking twist?

Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa's Show 'The Flipping El Moussas' Is Cancelled Amid HGTV Purge: Source
NEED TO KNOW A source has confirmed to PEOPLE that Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa's HGTV show, The Flipping El Moussas, has not been renewed The news comes amid a number of shocking cancellations from the network, including Christina Haack's home renovation show, Christina on the Coast Both Tarek and Heather have yet to publicly address the newsTarek and Heather Rae El Moussa's show The Flipping El Moussas is not returning to HGTV, a source confirms to PEOPLE. The house flipping show starring the married couple is officially ending after two seasons, amid a slew of shocking cancellations from HGTV. Christina Haack's HGTV show, Christina on the Coast, is also among the many shows that were slashed, a source confirmed to PEOPLE on July 15. Premiering in March 2023, The Flipping El Moussas followed Tarek and Heather as they navigated the highs and lows of house flipping in Southern California. In season one, viewers also got to see an inside look at their personal lives as they prepared for the arrival of their son Tristan, now 2. Season 2 saw the real estate duo tackle even tougher projects while also juggling life as a family of five. (Tarek shares two older children — daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9 — with ex-wife Haack.) While both The Flipping El Moussas and Christina on the Coast have been canceled, a source tells PEOPLE that the trio's other hit show, The Flip Off, has been picked up for a second season but hasn't started filming yet. All three stars have yet to publicly address the news, however a number of HGTV hosts have spoken out about the network's recent programming purge. Bargain Block, Farmhouse Fixer, Married to Real Estate, Battle on the Beach and Izzy Does It have also been canceled, sparking outrage from fans. Before The Flipping El Moussas, Tarek starred in Flip or Flop from 2013 to 2022 alongside his then-wife Haack. The exes split in 2016 after seven years of marriage, and currently maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship. Tarek has also hosted a solo house flipping series, Flipping 101, which debuted its fourth season in April. It is currently unclear whether this project is being picked up for another season. Meanwhile, The Flipping El Moussas marked Heather's HGTV debut after she previously starred in Netflix's real estate docudrama, Selling Sunset. She officially left the series in season 8 after revealing she was 'not called back' to film in the middle of season 7 following her maternity leave. During an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in 2023, Heather opened up about being excited to leave Selling Sunset behind her and start a new chapter with The Flipping El Moussas. "I love being able to prioritize my family and my happiness and step away from some of the drama that Selling Sunset brought into my life," she said at the time. "But I can just film with my husband now, drama-free," she continued. "I mean, the drama's in the houses, it's not with the people. And that is so incredible that I don't have to worry about fighting with a girl if I go to work."

Of working on The Flipping El Moussas, she admitted that while "It's a lot of work," she enjoyed tackling each challenging project with her husband. "I love flipping houses. It's very rewarding, it's very exciting, and I love being able to take a nasty, beat-up disgusting house and transform it into something beautiful." Read the original article on People

HRL Laboratories Launches Open-Source Solution for Solid-State Spin-Qubits
MALIBU, Calif., July 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HRL Laboratories developed an open-source extension to the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK), designed to control electrostatically confined semiconductor spin-qubits. Called spinQICK, HRL's solution provides a cost-effective way to rapidly utilize high performance and affordable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware with spinQICK's firmware and software to control spin-qubits. "By creating a cost-effective solution for academic and industry partners, HRL is helping to advance the quantum computing industry and spin qubit community," said Andrew Oriani, a spinQICK Principal Investigator at HRL. Abbie Wessels, a spinQICK Principal Investigator and Lead Developer at HRL, elaborated, "As leaders in quantum science and engineering, we believe that making tools like spinQICK freely available will accelerate scientific progress and push the boundaries of what's possible in spin qubit research." The spinQICK package builds on the standard QICK API, an open source toolkit developed and deployed by Fermilab, with additional low-level extensions tailored for spin-qubit systems. Fermilab is America's particle physics and accelerator laboratory. It is the lead institution for the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, plays a major role in the Quantum Science Center headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and is a leader in quantum networks and controls including cryoelectronics. The hardware intended for use with spinQICK is vastly more affordable than comparable custom or other commercial hardware systems currently available, without compromising on performance. This enables faster and more affordable adoption of standardized measurement and control methods used for electrostatically confined spin-qubits. The new tool also drives workforce development and quantum outreach by encouraging speedy, efficient engagement with research labs and educational institutions entering the field of semiconductor quantum computing. Sponsoring a clinic team at Harvey Mudd College, HRL is bringing spinQICK and accessible quantum computing solutions to engineering communities. This year's Harvey Mudd team recently showcased their end of year project at HRL, where they integrated spinQICK with custom analog control hardware.
