Fans bid an emotional farewell to Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but Lucasfilm isn’t quite done with the iconic smuggler on the big screen. Their second spinoff film is a young Han Solo adventure that sees Hail, Caesar! standout Alden Ehrenreich take over the role, leading an A-list ensemble cast including the likes of Donald Glover, Emilia Clarke, and Woody Harrelson. Anytime an up-and-comer fronts a Star Wars film, it’s a monumental undertaking, but Ehrenreich is in an even less enviable position than Daisy Ridley and Felicity Jones before him....

The stand adjusts from 3.7 inches to 6 inches, allowing you to easily align your MacBook screen with a paired iMac or Thunderbolt display (as pictured above) for a dual monitor setup....

New, interesting, but loyal adaptations come around once in a blue moon, but with the first season of Harley Quinn coming to an end on DC Universe, it’s safe to say that the show has presented its own comedic and self-referential take on the titular character and the wider DC universe with great success. Every episode of the first season has its fair share of laugh-out-loud jokes, well-constructed character moments, and a drive for the overarching plot and the emotional arc of it’s cast kept well in mind....

Fans have a way of taking what the canon of a novel, film, or television show presents them with and creating something of their own out of it. With seven books and eight films, it was only a matter of time before fans took what J.K. Rowling offered, and expanded upon it. The smallest of moments become the source for the most popular headcanons and fanfictions. The wizarding world of Harry Potter includes a vast list of characters, creatures, and settings....

Creating a house-points system at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is bad enough, but when we consider the logic behind Slytherin or Gryffindor always winning at everything in the Harry Potter world, it makes even less sense. Why would the school’s most faithful and most sagacious houses vie for last spot every year? Some fans speculate that the two houses simply don’t care as much as the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses, which are home to wizards who crave fame and glory....

Harry Potter will always be a highly beloved franchise. The books and movies have been devoured by millions of fans all over, and new generations of fans are continually getting introduced to the world. While Harry Potter is full of many delightful moments and a rich world, there are some things about the series that don’t make a lot of sense or seem outdated these days. While this doesn’t mean the series isn’t great, it is interesting to take a look at some of these issues....

Android Notifications in Windows 10 The first thing to do is download the Cortana app from the Google Play Store. It’s worth noting that Cortana is only available to U.S. users.

After you have the app downloaded, launch it, and you’ll be required to sign-in with your Microsoft Account. Then, select Settings and Sync notifications as shown below....

Before the era of streaming services, endless TV real estate and Peak TV, the existence of GLOW would be practically unimaginable. It’s hard to imagine, say, CBS, in 1994, greenlighting a TV series based on the all-female professional wrestling league GLOW (which stood for Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, a mostly Las Vegas-based circuit that mostly consisted of models and actresses pursuing careers in pro wrestling). But Netflix now has. The 10-episode first season of the series, from Weeds and Orange is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan, was announced last year for Netflix, with a cast led by Alison Brie and Marc Maron, with Betty Gilpin, Jackie Tohn, and Ellen Wong also listed among the cast....

The Good Place series finale included a surprise cameo from a fan-favorite on Parks and Recreation: Nick Offerman, potentially as Ron Swanson. After four critically acclaimed seasons, NBC’s terrific comedy about the afterlife has finally concluded. Created by Michael Schur, who previously worked on The Office and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place originally followed Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), who woke up in a heaven-like utopia called the “Good Place,” which was run by Michael (Ted Danson)....

Google has now announced that the Cardboard is compatible with Street View, allowing user to wear the headset and experience Google Maps Street View in a new, immersive way. Described as a easter egg (or Christmas egg?), users just have to double-tap the navigation circle in the lower right corner of Google Maps, and then the app will show a stereoscopic 360-degree view of the location they have chosen. If you are a Google Cardboard owner, for this feature to work, you just need to make sure that you have updated both your Google Cardboard and Google Maps apps....

With the launch of iOS 14 last year, many Google apps added support for updated homescreen widgets. The Google Search widgets are now adding nice customizable backgrounds for iPhone and iPad. The main Google app on iOS offers two widgets, starting with a simple 1×1 shortcut that immediately opens the search field and keyboard to quickly enter a query. Google’s bigger widget also lets you quickly enter Lens, do a Voice Search, and Incognito lookup....

If you use Google Photos on your iPhone and iPad (and you should), you can now use AirPlay to view selected photos on your Apple TV. Google quietly added the feature in an update to the app yesterday… It’s the only functionality added to the update, the rest of which was merely performance improvements. Google Photos is a recommended app for all iPhone users as the company allows free, unlimited, automatic storage of all photos up to 16MP – which includes all photos taken with an iPhone or iPad....

As it’s been learned over the years, Google pays Apple to remain the default search engine in Safari on iOS. While neither company publicly speaks on the agreement, analysts believe payments are made in the billions. According to analyst Rod Hall (via Business Insider), Google may be paying Apple upwards of $9 billion this year to remain the default search engine for Apple’s Safari browser on iOS. Hall believes that this number will only continue to grow, potentially leading to a payment of $12 billion in 2019....

Fans of Google Stadia will soon have another exclusive title to play, as Lost Words: Beyond the Page has been announced as a timed one-year Stadia exclusive. Google’s Stadia streaming service has struggled to grow in popularity since its original release last year, and a lack of quality exclusive titles as well as an underwhelming games library has done little to entice new users to sign up. Having just opened up the Stadia service to more mobile devices, as well as the recent announcement that Rainbow Six Siege is also coming to Stadia, Google is clearly hoping to turn this trend around....

Gregg Sulkin has made an impression for his role on Runaways, but what other movies and shows has the young actor appeared in? Runaways is based on the Marvel comic of the same name, which debuted in 2003. The premise follows a group of kids who discover the evil deeds of their parents, and band together to try and stop them; thankfully, they have superpowers to help with this. Runaways was originally developed as a movie adaptation, but the project was put on a backburner to focus on The Avengers instead....
