Unplanned events like massive data loss, the sudden exit of an employee, and breakdown in the supply chain can cause a billion-dollar loss. Hence, how well an organization handles these challenges is one of the factors in deciding the success or failure of your business. However, infrastructure and critical application failure can lead to a massive loss for a company. Your costs might be limited if you are a startup or growing business....
As the human animal has demonstrated time and time again, there’s probably not much we can do to mitigate the dangers of the winter holidays. Brittle, flammable Christmas trees must be lit, and blister packaging must be torn open with a giant knife (NOTE: Please do not do this anymore). But hopefully we can at least all agree to do our best to protect the other, non-human animals we like to call our friends....
The distance between fathers and sons can feel lightyears apart, even when they’re in the same room. This is the basic premise of James Gray’s moody and introspective Ad Astra, which places a literal solar system between Roy (Brad Pitt) and Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones). It is also the one fleeting, if tangible, emotion to take hold when Pitt’s stoic son must let go of his even more taciturn father....
Online shopping is growing exponentially. In 2020, more than 2 billion people shopped online, and e-retail sales crossed 4.2 trillion USD worldwide. In addition, the global pandemic accelerated the demand for online shopping, with lockdown prevailing everywhere. Therefore, if you are an enterprise, SMB, or even a startup dealing with e-commerce products, you need a robust platform to sell your products and services. There are two excellent solutions for it – Adobe Commerce (previously Magento) and Shopify, and they are giving tough competition to each other due to their capabilities and usefulness for different businesses....
While it’s easy enough to look forward to any chance to play Alan Wake again (or for the first time), it’s hard to look at this news and not ultimately see it as the best reason yet to hope that Remedy Entertainment might actually finally give us the proper Alan Wake sequel that the horror game’s most adamant fans have waited over a decade for. More importantly, it’s hard not to wonder if that potential sequel will also finally give us a real reason to hope that a Triple-A single-player horror game resurgence is indeed on the horizon....
American Horror Story Season 10 Episodes 1 and 2 For 1984, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk channeled their inner Sean S. Cunningham in order to craft a campy, funny, bloody ode to classic slasher movies from Friday the 13th to Sleepaway Camp. From the very opening moments of this season, in which a car sweeps down a deserted two-lane highway along a cold, frosty beach, the first half of American Horror Story: Double Feature, dubbed “Red Tide”, evokes nothing more strongly than the works of Stephen King and Joe Hill....
XR came into the picture when developers and companies developed and used virtual and augmented reality. XR is an umbrella term that incorporates all immersive technologies like VR, AR, and MR, as well as the ones yet to be developed. What is Extended Reality (XR)? All three, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, and Augmented Reality, are Extended Reality’s pillars. It combines the core features of each one of them. XR technology is used to combine the real with a digital world that is able to interact with each other....
In fact, it’s only taken a few hours for the game’s eager fans to uncover a host of features that were seemingly never confirmed ahead of the update’s surprise launch late last night. While some of these hidden features can certainly be considered “little things,” others may very well make it easier than ever to complete those big plans you’ve been putting off. Here are just a few of the best secret features that have been discovered in Animal Crossing: New Horizon‘s 2....
One of the most common things you’ll hear about the whole situation is that it caught everyone by surprise. Even those closest to this story from the beginning would have a hard time honestly telling you that they ever thought a group of investors on Reddit who trade stocks as often as memes would have been able to predict that GameStop, one of the worst companies in gaming, would turn the financial world upside down....
With plot elements coincidentally similar to this year’s Black Panther, and other far less innocent resemblances to the works of Richard Donner, Sam Raimi, and a legion of comparable navigators on these familiar tides, there is nary a moment or scene in Aquaman that you haven’t seen done elsewhere. Yet there is still a charm to the pleasure cruise, and it is in large part due to James Wan’s captaining of a leaky ship....
We imagine that Aster’s next film will be of similar nightmare fuel, even if there are a few more chuckles along the way. Indeed, this is exactly what the filmmaker teased while speaking with the University of California, Santa Barbara’s A.S. Program Board (via The Daily Nexus and Slashfilm). “All I know is that it’s gonna be four hours long, over 17 [years of age],” Aster told aspiring filmmakers about his new screenplay he just finished a draft on....
Indeed, for those inclined to stay home but not interested in watching the Winter Olympics, Netflix has refilled its library with a variety of films. Admittedly, many of these lean on the action or broad comedy side, with romantic offerings being surprisingly slim for the month of Valentine’s Day, but if you’re in the mood for a cape or cowl, a terrifying chiller or something that will make you a giggler, then we have a list of solid offerings down below....
Data is one of the most common factors that companies use to their benefit. Especially converting raw data into something useful and curating it to obtain insights. When data is displayed in presentations or graphical format, it is easy to understand. Data visualization can occur in several ways, such as graphs, charts, and Venn diagrams to make sense of it. But why Venn Diagrams? A Venn diagram is a visual representation that focuses on the concepts and their relationship....
That iron will certainly be part of the armor she dons as Ironheart, a tech-based hero in the vein of Tony Stark and title character of the upcoming Disney+ series. While the trailer doesn’t show the completed armor, set photos from the show do give us an idea of what to expect. Twitter user @ironheartnews posted two images from the show, each showing the new armor. In the first, we see Thorne wearing an armored helmet and chest gear over her motion-capture suit....
For a movie that comes out in just a few months, we still don’t know that much about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. True, Marvel did release a trailer considered by many (including the Marvel Standom team) to be the best in the genre. But that teaser only included a few quick glimpses at returning characters such as Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Okoye (Danai Gurira), and new additions Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) and Namor the Sub-Mariner (Tenoch Huerta)....
Black Sails Season 4 Episode 9 It’s all about how to fight and not die. Staying alive under these circumstances would be quite a feat, although maybe not the best one to use in starting a revolution. Or is that still what Flint wants? For quite a while, I’ve wondered it Flint just wants to win, no matter what the contest. I have hopes that he’ll be distracted by the reappearance of Thomas....
Monica will make her debut when Teyonah Parris (Dear White People) plays her in WandaVision, the mysterious and highly stylized Disney+ show that seems to be taking on a version of the “House of M” comic storyline, while also taking some cues from I Love Lucy and The Brady Bunch. Notably for Carol Danvers fans, “House of M” is when Carol first truly saw herself as a hero. She retained her memories from the alternate universe, and the experience inspired her to get her life together and become the mighty Captain Marvel we all know and love....
People mostly use the terms battery health and battery percentage interchangeably, but there is a stark difference between the two. While battery percentage gives you an idea about the instantaneous amount of juice left of your device, battery health is a different parameter. Your device’s battery health is a long-term evaluation of its current state and functionality compared to when it was new. What is Battery health? Clearing the common misconception aside, it is an excellent time to discuss the need for battery health as a parameter....
Although Gibson is perhaps best known for his earlier cyberpunk stories, Smith sought to capture the more contemporary novel’s sympathetic characters to reach beyond a hard sci-fi audience. “Obviously, I came in so respectful of Gibson, and my first version of [the adaptation] was just trying to just be completely loyal to the book, and it wasn’t really working,” admits Smith. “So being able to step into the temple of Gibson and smear some mud on the walls, I think, was kind of a breakthrough point [while still] holding close to the characters and letting them guide me into the story a little bit....
8-Bit Christmas (2021) HBO Max If you feel a little too familiar with A Christmas Story these days, HBO Max has a great alternative—and no, we don’t mean that bland nostalgia bait sequel they just put out. For a better Yuletide experience, check out last year’s cleverer and more merry update via 8-Bit Christmas, which is essentially a 1980s Christmas story. In the film, modern parent Jake (Neil Patrick Harris) recounts to his daughter the trials and tribulations he endured in order to attain his dream Christmas present as a child: the original Nintendo Entertainment System!...
