Some people consider this an unforgivable omission. After all, Loki has been part of Thor’s story even before either character appeared in Marvel Comics. The tension between the duplicitous trickster and arrogant thunder god has been the driving force in some of humanity’s finest stories in Norse Mythology and modern fantasy, as well as comic books. For many storytellers, Thor and Loki define one another. Furthermore, Tom Hiddleston’s performance as Loki was integral to the MCU’s widespread success....

In episode 4 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, we finally learn what Durin IV (Owain Arthur) and Disa (Sophia Nomvete) have discovered in the Khazad-dûm mines – the precious metal mithril. In The Lord of the Rings universe, mithril becomes highly sought after in Middle-earth both for its beauty and its durability – it shines like silver, is stronger than steel, it’s as malleable as copper, and doesn’t tarnish....

Penelope Spheeris directed the cult punk rock/heavy metal masterpiece documentary film series The Decline of Western Civilization, and turned down the heavy metal satire This Is Spinal Tap because it wasn’t headbanging enough. She’d also caught the dark side of punk squatter slacking in the 1984 coming of age drama Suburbia. In directing Wayne’s World, Spheeris captures the subtle tension between a metal-head’s manic persona and the person beneath the hair who secretly listens to “Hey Mickey” and fantasizes to Gary Wright’s “Dreamweaver....

Replication is the name of the game when it comes to horror. It’s so hard to scare people…genuinely scare them, that if an idea works once, its creators have little choice but to try it again. That’s how you get a movie landscape dominated by sequels, reboots, and remakes like Halloween Kills, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. Even with the knowledge that horror franchises are self-perpetuating machines, however, there’s one horror imprint whose continued existence is rather surprising....

If we allow ourselves to move past the standalone absurdity of that figure, the question becomes “Is Discord really worth that much?” The answer to that question ultimately requires you to properly analyze a lot of figures that are quite frankly too boring to even dream of extensively debating, but if we’re just talking about Microsoft and Discord as video game companies, then it actually makes quite a bit of sense for Microsoft to spend whatever it takes to acquire Discord....

Born in the Netherlands, Janssen modeled throughout the 80s but began acting in the early 1990s, scoring roles alongside Jeff Goldblum in the film Fathers and Sons, and on Star Trek: The Next Generation (which led to her being considered for the role of Jadzia Dax on Deep Space Nine). Her big break came as the villainous Xenia Onatopp in 1995’s GoldenEye, playing an assassin who crushes victims between her thighs....

Scroobius Pip, who plays a shady black market debris purchaser named Anson Ash, enjoys the narrative flexibility this gives Debris. “It was one of the great appeals because the fact that the debris has different properties and does different things makes it this endless, exciting pool of things that can happen each week,” he says. “So I’d imagine the viewers’ experience will be similar to me as a reader of the scripts....

However, as season 3 concluded, the series took a different approach. In the final few moments of the finale, the show suddenly dropped Joe—and us—off in an unexpected place: Paris. And, as the show was renewed by Netflix for a fourth season ahead of the season 3 premiere, we know that we’ll be following Joe as he settles into a new city and gains all sorts of new French fetishes....

Due in part to an unfailingly passionate fan campaign, Warner Brothers’ major DC superhero team-up got two bites at the apple, first with the studio-favored Justice League (2017), then with director Zack Snyder’s cut on HBO Max last month. The existence of the pair has provided an interesting case study in exactly what audiences really prefer. Based on fan response (and our own, albeit mixed, review), it would appear that a singular, auteur’s vision wins out creatively....

Just imagine, you and some friends have just returned from a trip, and now they want copies of the photographs you took on the trip. You went to so many different locations that you decided to put them away in separate files. If that’s the case, how are you going to upload the folders so that they may be attached to an email? Creating a ZIP file will be the quickest and most straightforward approach to accomplish that goal....

Cats are independent, curious by nature, and natural hunters....

Irrespective of your requirement, you need something fast, easy, and powerful simultaneously. While there’s a good number of video software available, not everyone is impressive. You don’t need something that does only half the work and forces you to download different software to do the other half. For example, some video software out there only allows you to cut, trim, and compile clips. You don’t want “just” that because that’s not enough to create good-looking videos....

Our privacy and overall security are never in safe hands, and it should be our responsibility to do something about it, even if it makes a tiny difference. Some of you might have stored personal data or even financial information on the Internet, and protecting it from being publicly unleashed is of utmost priority. Not only that, by using the Internet, you’re also exposed to a lot of viruses, malware, ransomware, and other nasty threats....

Using Regex, you can search for some characters you might need to access and process. You can do it by creating a matching pattern against the data you want to extract.

It can be hard as there are millions and trillions of data out there....

The year 2021 saw a massive boom for generative art avatar projects in the cryptosphere.

And that’s especially when the matter of safety is involved. It’s a well-known fact that the internet is not the safest place for kids and even adults, as, in a matter of seconds, you could lose all your data or be exploited. Another scenario would be getting scammed of your hard-earned money. No matter if it’s about the kids or adults, there’s a possibility that we all might fall prey to such dangerous tactics as long as we’re using the internet....

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the course of automation based on digital technologies like computers, Wi-Fi, and machine-to-machine communication. IoT enabled the human race to create a network of devices in homes, offices, and industries that perform certain repetitive tasks on their own. Therefore, humans can spend more time interacting with people or brainstorming new ideas. It is high time that you start using basic IoT devices that do not require much control and management and get going with your busy life....
