Apart from the basic setup like updating Windows and installing drivers, Windows 10 has many settings that are worth tweaking for the optimum experience. I like my PC running at maximum performance while ensuring no unwanted background processes are hindering the system.

In 2020, Deadline reported that Oscar Isaac, who you’ve seen most recently as the MCU’s Moon Knight and Duke Leto Atreides in Dune, had signed on to play Solid Snake in an upcoming Metal Gear Solid adaptation. But not only did the movie have its star, it also had a director: Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) who has been outspoken about his desire to finally bring Hideo Kojima’s dystopian action game to the big screen....

Hence below are our exceedingly early predictions for all the major categories about who WILL win and who SHOULD win. Our predictions for wins will be bolded while our personal preferences shall be italicized. Best Picture Ford v Ferrari The Irishman Joker Little Women Marriage Story 1917 Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Who Will Win: If you asked us a month ago, we would’ve said this would be Netflix’s year thanks to Martin Scorsese’s magnum opus, The Irishman....

“Even though it sometimes might seem like the opposite is true, I have always found goodness in the people I’ve met everywhere I went in the world,” Zhao said. “So this is for anyone who had the faith and the courage to hold onto the goodness in themselves and to hold onto the goodness in each other no matter how difficult it is to do that. This is for you, you inspire me to keep going....

Indeed, CODA is the first streaming film to win Best Picture, breaking through a ceiling that Netflix has continually struggled with year after year, including this year when the evening’s seeming frontrunner, The Power of the Dog, nearly went home empty-handed save for a major Oscar win for Jane Campion as Best Director. The tides were clearly turning, too, after CODA unexpectedly beat Campion and Power of the Dog in the Best Adapted Screenplay category....

This week’s Outlander feels like two episodes in one. Strong performances from the entire cast supported a script that streamlined many book chapters into an hour and 10 minutes. The dysentery outbreak in the first half is seamlessly linked to the shocking cliff-hanger ending through Claire’s hallucinations, but sorry history nerds: the Hamilton song lyric episode title is more about the shocking cliff-hanger than the war! Roger finishes another Sunday sermon at the meetinghouse but realizes the MacNeil family is missing....

Parks’ cheery portrayal of competent, well-meaning civil servants running into the grossly ill-informed, misplaced anger of their constituents has earned it the reputation of being the defining comedy of the Obama era. Throughout the tumultuous and divisive Trump presidency, populated with government employees who seemed as outwardly hostile toward the departments that they represented as Ron Swanson, fans and critics wrote about finding solace in old episodes of the NBC comedy....

It’s been long established in Poké lore that Mewtwo, a Frankenstein-like creature created by man in an attempt to clone Mew, is the most powerful Pocket Monster in existence. But his role in Detective Pikachu took what we knew about the loquacious psychic to a whole new level. By the time the movie is over, it is revealed that Mewtwo has captured the soul of Harry Goodman and is responsible for putting it in the body of Pikachu… hence Ryan Reynolds’ personality inside of an adorable electric rodent....

Pokémon Legends: Arceus launches on Jan. 28, but won’t be playable in every region of the world at the same time. So what time does the game unlock if you’re in the US or UK? If we use previous first-party Nintendo game releases to make an educated guess, it’s probably safe to assume the game will officially release and be playable at midnight in your local time zone on Jan....

Power Rangers Dino Fury is set to debut this year but that hasn’t stopped fans from clamoring for any amount of information they can get. Since the cast was revealed in October we haven’t gotten much outside of a few comments from executive producer Simon Bennett. Thankfully the official Power Rangers website was just updated with information on the new season, including character bios, town name, and information on the Rangers’ Zords....

As a result, you may lose your data and customer trust, enough to cause losses in terms of reputation and finances.

Starting with the basics of processes and threads, you’ll learn how multithreading works in Python—while understanding the concepts of concurrency and parallelism. You’ll then learn how to start and run one or more threads in Python using the built-in threading module. Let’s get started. Processes vs. Threads: Differences What Is a Process? A process is any instance of a program that needs to run. It can be anything – a Python script or a web browser such as Chrome to a video-conferencing application....

When it comes to the entertainment of the unexplained, or paranormal pop culture, humans live in a world(s) populated by all manner of preternatural, supernatural, otherworldly, and extradimensional phenomena. But entertainment also tells us there are rules that bring order to the abnormal – whether it’s a ghost or demon, alien or sasquatch, werewolf or vampire, or even a troll or fairy. Yet behind every silver bullet solution that makes it into a script, there is typically a wealth of academic study that’s both complicated, and sometimes contradictory....

For years, frightened mortals have been driving stakes into hungry creatures of the night, beautiful, but deadly in their eternal allure. Often coming up dry, results are universally messy, and mostly unappetizing. Now Syfy sticks a straw into the heart of the vampire mystique, and it’s yummier than it sounds. Reginald the Vampire stars Jacob Batalon as the new bloodsucker on the block, and he’s fairly gluttonous. Best known for playing Spider-Man’s best friend Ned Leeds, he is now buddying up with the undead, and battling the genre’s most insidious stereotypes....

It’s a bit of a shame that the game doesn’t do a little better job of explaining the relationship between those phrases, as the true meaning of all of them, and the various ways they’re connected, form the foundation of not just this sequel’s plot but much of the Resident Evil franchise’s lore. If you’re one of the many who just finished Resident Evil Village without fully understanding why the game was suddenly throwing a bunch of new words at you, here’s what you need to know about Megamycete, Mold, and Cadou as well as how they’re all related to each other:...

The interview doesn’t give away a lot of details we didn’t already know or suspected to be true, but it does feature a few interesting pieces of information for what has thus far been a very mysterious project. That’s especially true of Chris Redfield who was mentioned far more often in this interview than he’s been talked about in any of the official descriptions of Resident Evil Village that we’ve seen in the past....

This Riverdale review contains spoilers. Since making her comic book debut in late 1941, Betty Cooper has become an archetype (and Archie’s type, well, one of them) for the so-called all American girl next door. Beautiful and blonde were her original personality traits. However, the comics were much smarter than to just let Betty become a tired ditzy stereotype. Through the writing of Archie legends like Frank Doyle, George Gladir and Kathleen Webb, Betty Cooper was transformed into a character to be reckoned with....

Riverdale Season 6 Episode 12 “Hold your loved ones close, the Fog is coming!” Riverdale loves a good pop culture homage. Having tipped its creative hat to everything from Creepshow to Grease 2 over the course of its six seasons to date, this is not a series that is afraid to wear its influences on its sleeve. Since the show is standing firmly upon horror/sci-fi ground right now it makes sense to focus on a creepy cult classic for its latest extended reference....

According to THR, the Patty Jenkins-directed project was set to begin pre-production later this year and go in front of cameras sometime in 2022. But now, per the outlet, the project is being put on the back burner because of other commitments on the part of Jenkins. It’s not clear if writer Matthew Robinson will stay attached to the movie. The unsourced quote that is sure to raise a few eyebrows is this one: “The hope is that once Jenkins fulfills her previous commitments, she will be able to return to the project....

SAS: Rogue Heroes Release Date The swaggering historical drama begins airing on BBC One this Sunday 30th October at 9pm and will air weekly until Sunday the 4th of December.
