The transformation of Hawkeye into Ronin was seen in Avengers: Endgame, but it was actually first teased during Spider-Man: Homecoming. The Avengers’ resident marksman skipped the events of Avengers: Infinity War altogether as he served home detention following his actions in Captain America: Civil War. By the time he came back to the MCU forefront, he had already ditched his old persona as Hawkeye and assumed a new one as the masterless samurai....

Removed Windows Features Groove Music Pass is one that we knew was getting the ax in October of last year. If you were one of the few who did subscribe (yours truly included) should have already transferred Groove Music Pass playlists to Spotify. You can still use the Groove Music app to play you own locally stored music and that also includes any tunes stored on OneDrive, too. HomeGroup which was introduced with Windows 7 is a Windows folder and printer sharing feature, however, it is no longer in this version of Windows....

The Apple Watch has notably caused smartwatch efforts by other companies to fail, and a new profile from Fast Company details the impact Apple had on Samsung’s efforts in the category. The report explains that it all started back in 2011, when it was first rumored that Apple had an interest in developing a smartwatch. Once those rumors emerged, Samsung executives reportedly began thinking of how to best compete with Apple’s efforts, and ideally, beat Apple to the market....

In the Harry Potter series, friendship is one of the biggest themes. The friendships between Harry, Ron, and Hermione are a core part of the series, and the most important relationships in many ways. While the trio might get talked about the most when it comes to friendship, there are also many other important friendships throughout the series. Even Harry, Ron, and Hermione have other close friendships that are quite endearing....

SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame Jeremy Renner offers a closer look at the elaborate tattoo sleeve of Clint Barton/Hawkeye as assumed the person of Ronin in Avengers: Endgame. Skipping out the initial bout against Thanos (Josh Brolin) in Avengers: Infinity War, Barton spent his days on house arrest after striking a deal with the government with regard to the fallout of the events of Captain America: Civil War. But just because he wasn’t on the battle lines while his fellow heroes tried to stop the Mad Titan from decimating half of population in the universe, doesn’t mean he wasn’t impacted by the villain’s actions....

In Heave Ho, players will have to work together, like legless trapeze artists, to fling themselves to the flag. And they’ll surely have fun doing it. Every so often, a couch co-op game comes along that steals the spotlight from groups go-to’s. After all, you can only play Super Smash Bros. for so many hours without it becoming frustrating if you and your friends are at disparate skill levels. And for those without a Nintendo Switch, there aren’t many options for cooperative offline play....

The Battle of Hogwarts was the scene that brought the Harry Potter franchise to a close, both in the books and movie. It’s where the Boy Who Lived and his close friends and loyalists make their final stand against Lord Voldemort, eventually reigning supreme and bringing the villain’s time in charge of the magical community to an abrupt end. Their victory comes at a cost, however, with the likes of Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Fred Weasley and Lavender Brown all dying on the battlefield....

Password representations are primarily associated with hash keys, such as MD5, SHA, WHIRLPOOL, RipeMD, NTMLv1, NTMLv2 and so on. They are also defined as a one-way function — this is a mathematical operation that is easy to perform, but very difficult to reverse engineer. Hashcat turns readable data into a garbled state (this is a random string of fixed-length size). Hashes do not allow someone to decrypt data with a specific key, as standard encryption protocols allow....

The Apple Watch has been in large part selling to people who don’t wear conventional watches, but it has also taken significant market share from traditional watch brands. That latter trend could be significantly accelerated by the new heart-related features in the Apple Watch Series 4, think some commentators – for one simple reason … It’s mostly older people who wear traditional watches: the exact same age group who are likely to be most concerned about their health....

Netflix recently acquired two more Laika films to their streaming service, including Kubo and the Two Strings, as well as the beloved Coraline. The latter movie stole hearts everywhere when it hit the big screen in 2009. It was Laika’s first major motion picture, having only done contract work and short films up until that point. Based on the well-known book by Neil Gaiman, Coraline was done in stop-motion animation. Those who worked on it put a lot of detail into the tiny worlds that the titular character ventures to....

Throughout the films, books, and theme park, there has been a lot of delicious-looking treats in Harry Potter’s Wizarding World. However, some have looked quite disgusting. From booger flavored jelly-beans to deadly lollipops, be prepared, for some of these may make your stomach turn. Honeydukes, outside of Hogsmeade has been the supplier of most of these strange things. Most of these treats and drinks are also available in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter located in Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando but you should definitely only try them at your own discretion....

Last updated: February 2, 2020 Here’s what people can expect from The Haunting of Hill House season 2, which is being called The Haunting of Bly Manor. The first season of The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix may have seemed to end with a satisfying finale, but - not unlike the the titular house’s appetite for human souls - there’s always room for seconds. And in a surprising twist, season 2 will explore an entirely new ghost-ridden house in The Haunting of Bly Manor....
