In the early days, gaming was all about arcades and consoles. Kids and adults would visit nearby arcades to fulfill their thirst for games. Evolving technologies and the introduction of the fast-paced internet have made online gaming a booming industry. People worldwide can easily connect to the internet to play and socialize across borders. Many of the best games are available on Apple Arcade. According to PwC’s Global Entertainment and Media Outlook 2022–26, the gaming industry will see exponential global growth....

No, the above is not some pompous phrase picked up from a dystopian novel. It’s a reality. The new world order is all about collecting vast amounts of relevant data and processing it into actionable insights — something the human race hasn’t been able to do in history. It’s the kind of technology that allows a country to get ahead of the others, and eventually, rule the world. As a result, it’s being taken very, very seriously by the progressive nations of the world....

There’s no denying that on the whole, premium WordPress plugins offer much more value over the free ones. But even among the premium plugins, there are some that are on top of the food chain. They might be expensive, but they have a unique impact on your business, and any WordPress website worth its salt cannot do without them. This post is about four such amazing plugins and services. But first, let’s step back a little and talk about this dark art known as web security....

The original Top Gun came out almost exactly 36 years ago, turning Tom Cruise from a rising star into a legitimate superstar and implanting things like shirtless beach volleyball, callsigns, F-14 jets, and the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School into the public consciousness for decades to come. The movie followed hotshot pilots Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards) as they joined the school (known as TOPGUN), clashed with their commanding officers and fellow trainees (including Val Kilmer’s Tom “Iceman” Kazansky), and experienced tragedy, romance and some of the most dangerous yet exhilarating flying in the world....

What doesn’t work is when a TV show that’s supposed to be taking you along with it, leaves you behind. That could be your fault (Did you stay awake? Skip an episode? Were you checking your phone? Was your dog doing that weird thing with the curtains so you had to get up and miss a bit?). Or it could be the fault of a TV show either too ambitious or inaccessible or illogical for comfort....

Let’s find out… From the time you started coding, JavaScript (JS) would have been part of all your front-end projects. If you are a little familiar with JS, think of TypeScript as JS plus some additional features that make your application neater and typed. The typeScript was developed as an open-source project by Microsoft to make JS development more efficient and catch compilation errors early on. In this article, we will discuss some important features of JavaScript and TypeScript and the differences between both scripting languages....

Suppose you want to run a SaaS business and target mid-market customers. In that case, you need to be compliant with applicable rules and regulations and maintain a stronger security posture for your company. Many organizations try to bypass these requirements by applying security questionnaires. So, when a customer or a client demands a SOC certificate, you can realize how important it is to be compliant with regulations. Service Organization Control (SOC) compliance refers to a type of certification in which an organization completes a third-party audit that shows certain controls your organization has....

Unsurprisingly, satellite internet is a wireless internet connection that uses satellites in orbit to deliver internet connectivity....

Vikings Season 5 Episode 5 “We could crucify him; that would be fun.” Let no one ever accuse Michael Hirst of playing it safe with History’s flagship scripted drama Vikings. Simultaneously synchronizing five separate storylines, the show’s creator and driving force still manages to seamlessly bring the threads together while forcefully propelling the overall narrative that features a clash of cultures. Ivar has his Christian, the beautiful nun turns out to be a cutthroat killer, and Floki plays “chicken” with Lagertha....

There’s a lot going on at the newly-reorganized DC Studios, with no signs of stopping as Gunn, Safran, and friends try to finally steer the ship toward the lucrative waters where Marvel dropped its anchor long ago. It’s much too early to tell how exactly this latest voyage is going to fare, but a new direction for Superman on the big screen is certainly a promising start. Before Cavill’s triumphant return in Black Adam last weekend, one could hardly blame WB for distancing itself from the DCEU’s version of the Man of Steel, a grimdark and cynical take on the traditionally optimistic comic book role model that proved to be a loser (by modern superhero box office standards) across three movies, culminating with the disastrous release of the 2017 theatrical cut of Justice League, which made just a little over $650 million, a pitiful return for a DC movie packed with the brand’s most popular and beloved heroes....

Den of Geek has partnered with ReedPop, the event company behind New York Comic Con, to produce the official New York Comic Con show guide, which is featured inside the issue and distributed to show attendees at the Javits Center from October 6-9.

Westworld Season 4 Episode 4 I freely admit, I’m a mark for all of the twisting and turning plot lines happening on Westworld. Since the very first episode of the show, the more chronological twists and turns, the more diverging plots, the more surprising Host reveals, the better. I’m fully on board for wherever this thing is going, and I just want to see how it gets there no matter how circuitous and maze-like the route becomes....

Westworld Season 4 Episode 8 William (Ed Harris) was always obsessed with the creations of Robert Ford. He wasn’t exactly into the narrative, but he was in search of something else. Something deeper, something more meaningful, called to him. William knew it as the maze, and all he wanted was to find his way to the center of it any way he could. Usually, especially as he aged into the Man In Black, that meant violence....

“The peace you’ve always wanted, but never had.” According to Taweret, Marc Spector achieved that state when he arrived in the Sea of Reeds in the afterlife. But those words seem like a better description of Marc and Steven at the end of the series finale. The two identities seem to have integrated, and wake up in Steven’s bed, ready to live their lives anew (seemingly unperturbed by the dead bodies surrounding them whenever they blackout)....

Episode 6 of Marvel’s What If…?, entitled “What If… Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?”, might be the flattest episode to come out of the series so far, but it at least works in the way the other Disney+ Marvel shows work. It takes a character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe who didn’t get quite enough time in the spotlight and gives us more. In this case, it’s the charismatic Black Panther villain Erik “Killmonger” Stevens....

Oftentimes, the little things make a huge difference in general, as well as in business. Just like in branding, I believe the little things really make up your great impression in front of potential customers. One such element of it is the favicon. A favicon is a tiny 16×16 pixel icon that sticks next to your website’s title on the browser tab. It helps your users identify your website from all the tabs that are open....
