The world of Harry Potter is full of wonderful magics and artifacts… but there are just as many that are dangerous and deadly. Many artifacts look harmless, but that is very much not the case. Admittedly most of the dangerous artifacts were either designed to target specific enemies, or they were designed to go after unknowing muggles (seems a little mean, doesn’t it?). Then there are those ones you really have to watch out for....
Of all the houses at Hogwarts, Gryffindor is the one that is most associated with bravery and chivalry. As such, it’s assumed that everyone in this house will always act with courage and that they won’t be cowardly. While many people sorted into Gryffindor are extremely brave, there are some that are less so than others. And, since people are complex and the sorting system is imperfect, there are also those who are pretty cowardly overall....
The Defense Against the Dark Arts job at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was widely considered to be a cursed role. Each professor that took on the challenge of teaching defensive magic to the next generation found themselves unemployed (or worse) by the end of the year. Across Harry’s time at Hogwarts, as well as its larger history, there have been a wide variety of professors in the role. Most of them have been incompetent at best, but some were even cruel to the students....

When you sign into Google Plus for the first time, it takes you to the welcome page. The welcome page pretty much shows everything that Google Plus can do, and it also notifies you that it is still in a “field trial” rather than beta status.

…Use Safari! (lol,) Google Chrome 39 had started to crash for me as soon as I updated to 10.10.2 Beta. I tried all of the normal things (trashing Google prefs, using Canary, etc etc).

The answer comes via Reddit today: @llsethj If I understand correctly, some trackpad APIs were deprecated — drivers aren’t relevant....
Google has reportedly hired three former Assassin’s Creed developers to make Google Stadia-exclusive games. Google first announced their new game development company, the Stadia Games and Entertainment division, back in March 2019, pointing to interest in creating first-party titles. After a long period of speculation, hype, and doubt, Google’s Stadia Pro release finally arrived in mid-November. The game streaming service was met with a mostly negative reception. Google Stadia reviews found it lacked important features and a compelling reason to make the switch from traditional consoles - and in some cases, it just didn’t work at all....
In addition to YouTube Music, Google today is bringing iOS 14 home screen widgets to Photos. It delightfully lets you see “memories” every time you unlock your iPhone or iPad. The “Your memories” widget is available in the standard three sizes (2×2, 4×2, and 4×4) and shows “recently highlighted photos & videos, and special moments from previous years.” It’s basically the stories-esque carousel that Google added last year to the top of the Photos app....
