Social media has introduced us to a completely new world – the things we are accustomed to using now are things people wouldn’t even have imagined about 20 years ago. One such thing that social media introduced us to, and is now a common sight for us, is “filter.” Filters are simply a feature on different applications that help modify and enhance pictures and videos. We use filters very commonly on apps like Instagram and Facebook....

Let’s check out the steps to block YouTube ads using just a simple URL tweak. Ads in the World Wide Web are labeled as the necessary evil, necessary for the content creators and evil for (or rather by) the users. Ads could now be found across all the freemium services. And YouTube is no different. During the lockdown phase, it has seen a huge rise in its userbase. In countries like India, they have even put a 480p restriction to video quality, considering the huge amount of bandwidth that they have to handle....

Wired has an interesting profile out this morning on Jim Yurchenco, a now-retired engineer whose career virtually started with the task of helping create the first mouse for Apple and Steve Jobs: Probably most interesting in Yurchenco’s account of his time working on the first Apple mouse is the influence the Atari gaming system played on it. The Xerox mouse that predated the Apple mouse was too expensive and too complex to meet Apple’s needs, and the Atari’s trackball served as influence in solving that:...

Disney’s The Lion King remake has invited a lot of comparisons with another recent reimagining: The Jungle Book. Given that the films share a director in Jon Favreau and an affinity for photorealistic animals, it’s no wonder that fans and critics alike have been scrutinizing the similarities and differences. They’re not alone, though, as the team behind The Lion King made a conscious effort not only to emulate the techniques of The Jungle Book but also to further and improve them....

Here’s how The Punisher got an upgrade and became the Cosmic Ghost Rider.

The character has had multiple live-action versions, having been played by Dolph Lundgren, Tom Jane and Ray Stevenson in different movies....

Starting off 2022, however, the excitement for foldables remains, but for ones made by other manufacturers. China-based Oppo and Honor (formerly a subsidiary of Huawei) have announced market-ready handhelds in the Find N and Magic V, respectively. The two are currently only available in China, but carry significance because they offer fresh takes on the book cover design that Samsung’s Z Fold popularized.

The second downside can easily be remedied by adding sources to Pulse....

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus was perhaps one of the most confounding, divisive films within the Alien franchise upon its debut in 2012. The movie attempted to explain the origin of the Xenomorphs while introducing its own high-concept sci-fi ideas that, at first, seemed far separated from the Alien mythos that was familiar to audiences. The narrative thus functioned as both a prequel and a standalone movie, confusing fans who were left with more unanswered questions than before....

Major spoilers for Thor: Ragnarok. - Thor: Ragnarok may be the end of the Thor trilogy, but it’s also one of the final films before the mega-franchise MCU reaches its epic culmination with Avengers: Infinity War - and you can bet Taika Waititi’s film sets that up with a few carefully placed clues. For the most part, Ragnarok is focused on being its own thing: an all-out comedy in line with director Waititi’s previous efforts (What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople are essential pre-viewing) as much as it is the story of Asgard’s destruction (although it is that too)....

Individual Windows 10 systems can certainly be their own ecosystems. When they are issued to users from your organization, any number of systems can look exactly the same out of the box and yet act differently depending any number of factors — this stick of memory isn’t quite the same, this CPU has a slightly bent pin, this software installed an update that wasn’t pulled back in time and so on....
