The upcoming historical drama 1917 casts Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch in main roles. Directed by Sam Mendes, the film will follow two British soldiers on a single day during World War I. In addition, Shazam!’s Mark Strong has joined the 1917 cast, along with Game of Thrones’ Richard Madden. In the 2010s, Mendes has only directed two films, Skyfall and Spectre.

In the modern world, one of the common sayings is “A man is known from the kind of smartphone he own”. Therefore, everyone wants to have something stylish. However, the options are so diverse in markets that it can easily confuse a buyer. In recent years, a few manufacturers have emerged as the pioneers in the smartphone markets and in a very short period of time, they have attracted the attention of millions....

Sometimes in life, it’s good to let things go. This is because they can create several problems when they stay with us anymore. Thus, you must not regret while switching to a brand new smartphone by letting the one go you currently own. However, it is obvious that the one you buy should be better than what you currently own. Also, it must be free from all the troubles. Therefore, a basic review of every smartphone is always essential before you go ahead and buy a brand new model....

Everyone wants to own a smartphone that is best in every aspect. Unfortunately, we couldn’t put all the fingers equal to one another. In a very similar manner, the smartphone manufacturers cannot be put equal. Although all of them are best when it comes to manufacturing these gadgets, the fact is each manufacturer has an area of specialization and thus with a smartphone, you cannot expect all the features to be best....

Crackdown 3 has had a long and difficult development, but fans of the series now have a finite release date of February 15, alongside the announcement of a new multiplayer mode called Wrecking Zone. The news was revealed at X018, which also saw confirmation that Crackdown 3 will be coming to Xbox Game Pass as part of its worldwide launch on the same date. This will no doubt come as a relief for those who played the previous Crackdown games, as Crackdown 3’s lengthy development cycle has been well documented....

Abstract: WMIC has completed more than a decade of existence without having the limelight in terms of its features, though windows command line geeks have always had a soft spot for this embedded interface to WMI or Windows Management Instrumentation exposed in cmd.exe. Here we plan to take a look at the various commands provided and their switches. In normal cmd.exe commands we use find or findstr as a counterpart to grep to find the relevant string item often using wildcards as well....

There’s a lot to love about Apple’s M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBook Pro. The return of ports, MagSafe charging, and even ProMotion are worthy upgrades before you even consider the performance gains and boosted battery life. We haven’t had the chance to test drive these notebooks yet, but it’s hard to imagine what could go wrong based on our experience with Apple’s standard M1 Macs. Based on what we know so far, it’s actually rather difficult to land a joke about these Macs....

We lost an amazing show when Community finally went off the air in 2015. The sitcom had given fans six hilarious seasons full of ups and downs, witty banter, and characters that we grew to love and root for. The show followed a group of friends- played by Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase, and Jim Rash - as their navigated their time at community college....

Conan has a new format, but do the changes make the late-night talk show better or worse? The new season, featuring 30-minute episodes, was announced by TBS in May and finally premiered on Monday, prompting much discussion about what exactly the network was trying to achieve. For the past 25 years, Conan O’Brien has been a staple of late-night television. From 1993 to 2009, the former Saturday Night Live writer hosted NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien, followed by a brief run on The Tonight Show between 2009 and 2010....

Since AirPods have become mainstream, younger people are switching back to wired earbuds. Not only you can see more people on the street wearing them, but they always appear in TikTok videos because it’s easier to place the microphone in front of the person speaking. With that in mind, Parker and I teamed up to create a concept imagining next-gen EarPods. At the end of the day, wired earbuds are making a comeback because of a predictably rebellious gen z....

Rumors have been swirling around for months about a redesigned iPad mini with thinner bezels and a design inspired by the iPad Pro. Concept artist Michael Ma, otherwise known as Apple iDesigner, has created some beautiful renderings of what this product might look like.

It’s sometimes easy to forget that people like us, who follow Apple news closely, are quite different to the typical iPhone buyer. While we may have a pretty solid idea what we’re expecting from the iPhone 8/Edition, the average consumer doesn’t, says Piper Jaffray. A survey of iPhone owners found that current interest in upgrading is only slightly higher than it was at the same time last year … Business Insider saw today’s research note....

That’s where we come in. This guide answers all the burning questions on the biggest shift in social media since the algorithmic feed....

In continuous integration after a code commit, the software is built and tested immediately. In a large project with many developers, commits are made many times during a day. With each commit code is built and tested. If the test is passed, build is tested for Deployment. If the Deployment is a success, the code is pushed to production. This commit, build, test, and deploy is a continuous process, and hence the name continuous integration/deployment....

Also: China, Iran, and Russia worked together to call out US hypocrisy on BLM protests In the meantime, I am going to provide a forum for some of the other thought leaders in their respective spaces to give you something to chew over that isn’t just fat. Chewing fat is unhealthy, so that isn’t a good thing. So, this is the chewing of the good proteins kind of content. And one of the best people I know to provide you with that is Marshall Lager....

Craig Robinson may be best known for his comedic roles in The Office and films like Pineapple Express, but he’s also making a name for himself with wacky voiceover turns.

One of the common sayings is trends never stay forever. Present will be past one day. No one can actually say when the present becomes past. When it comes to technology, this is happening really very quickly. Well, you probably remember the days when the Samsung along with Nokia were the only recognizable brands. Although Samsung has climbed the ladder of their success, Nokia left far behind in the race of building the smartphones....

THE THREE JOKERS IN DC REBIRTH Batman learned there are three Jokers in the DC Universe. This was made possible by the machinations of Doctor Manhattan of Watchmen. It turns out Doctor Manhattan had stolen ten years from the DC Universe and was responsible for its transition from the New 52 continuity that began in 2011 to the current DC Rebirth continuity. Somehow, the Joker was split into three versions of himself: the original incarnation of the Joker created by Bill Finger, Jerry Robinson and Bob Kane, the 1980s version of the Joker Alan Moore and Brian Bolland essayed in The Killing Joke, and the modern New 52 version of the Joker primarily written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Greg Capullo....

Marvel’s latest series, Cloak & Dagger, seems to have rewritten the origin story of its titular heroes. Although the series is clearly inspired by the original comics, it’s a rather loose adaptation; the core concept remains the same, but a lot of the details have been adjusted to fit with the MCU. It’s a similar approach to the one Marvel used with Runaways, which was true to the spirit of the original comic, but certainly not to the panels....
