The Boys Play Video This cynical superhero series delights in taking down the kind of larger-than-life figures celebrated in other comic-book movies and TV shows. Creator Eric Kripke adapts the graphic novels by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson about a team of powerful and beloved corporate-backed heroes who engage in all sorts of deviant behavior behind closed doors. Bridgerton Play Video The period drama from mega-successful producer Shonda Rhimes became a pop-culture sensation thanks to its swoon-worthy romances, sumptuous sets and costumes, and smoldering stars, including Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor....

Microsoft announced Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22494 in a blog post, and the main thing it adds is a quick microphone button to the taskbar that you can click to mute your mic during a Team call without having to open the app’s window.

Netflix’s New Jigsaw Series The show, which Netflix is calling Jigsaw, is a heist-focused series, as revealed by The Hollywood Reporter. But where it deviates from the standard heist format is that the first seven episodes can be watched in any order. From there, the eighth and final episode must be watched last, as it finishes off the puzzle. It’s not an interactive adventure, but instead, it’s more similar to Paramount+‘s series called Interrogation, which lets you watch the episodes in a non-linear order....

What changed? Historically you had the option of purchasing the original version of Minecraft, the Java version, or purchasing the Bedrock for PC Edition. You could purchase both, of course, but you’d be stuck essentially paying twice to have access to the full range of the Minecraft experience on the PC. Starting today, that’s no longer a problem. Neither edition is going away—editions remain totally independent—but the days of buying one and then realizing you needed the other to, say, play with friends using Bedrock on their console, or similar situations, are behind us....

The report of the new scam comes from Check Point Research (CPR) (via The Verge), and it says that it has seen more than $500k worth of crypto stolen in a single weekend, thanks to these fake crypto wallets.

A Brief History of Push Notifications There are several different types of “push technology,” but the push notifications that we see every day on smartphones can be traced back to 2009. This is when Apple released a push notification service for iPhone developers. It may sound crazy today, but getting a notification from an app that wasn’t running in the background was kind of a big deal back then. Push notifications changed all that....

How About You? HBU stands for “how about you?” or “how ’bout you?” People often use this phrase as a follow-up when asked how they’re doing. After all, it’s common in a conversation to share some information about yourself, and then ask about the other person, as well. For example, if someone asks how you’re doing, you might reply: “I’m ok, hbu?” This initialism is most commonly used in text messaging....

No Big Deal NBD stands for “no big deal.” When used to respond to another message, it’s a phrase used to downplay the importance or burden of favors or gifts. For example, if someone thanks you for helping them fix their car, you might text back, “It’s nbd,” in response. You can also use it to seem more humble about a remarkable accomplishment. For example, you might say, “I just got an A+ on my calculus homework, nbd....

Too Long; Didn’t Read TLDR (or TL;DR) is a common internet acronym for “Too Long; Didn’t Read.” At face value, the phrase seems pretty easy to understand. But words and phrases can change depending on their context, and TLDR is no exception. In its simplest form, TLDR is used to express that a piece of digital text (an article, email, etc.) is too long to be worth reading. A lone “TLDR?...

Yeet Has Two Distinct Definitions At face value, yeet looks like a nonsense internet word that’s used without any concrete definition or context. It’s pasted on memes for seemingly no reason, and that one friend who spends too much time on Reddit can’t seem to stop nonsensically ad-libbing it. For most uses of yeet, what you see is what you get. It’s just some word that sounds funny and expressive. It’s usually used in place of affirmative words like “boo-yeah,” but it’s sometimes used in place of regular verbs to bring humor out of everyday actions (like dancing, running, or tumbling down a hill)....

It’s an Extra Layer of Protection The CVV is a three- or four-digit security code on the back or front of your credit card that helps protect you from credit card fraud.

On American Express cards, the CVV code is four digits long, and you’ll find it on the front of the card....

The Backbone of the Internet HTML stands for “hypertext markup language.” It’s a coding language used to create pages that a web browser can display. Most of the web pages you find on the internet, including the one you’re reading this article on right now, are stored as an HTML file. Websites are a bunch of related HTML pages stored on a server somewhere. That’s why the language is frequently called the “backbone of the internet....

Slack is a workplace chat app that’s so popular, the company that owns it was valued at more than $20 billion. You’ve probably seen it mentioned in the news.

Slack is a workplace communication tool, “a single place for messaging, tools and files.” This means Slack is an instant messaging system with lots of add-ins for other workplace tools....

Separate Work and Personal Tasks Using multiple web browsers will make it simple to separate different types of tasks from others. For example, if you work from home, you’ve probably logged into all your work-related websites and have bookmarks set up to all the necessary services you have to keep track of. In many cases, you may have separate accounts for work and personal tasks. For example, your job may give you a Google Workspace account and you may also have a personal Gmail address....

What Is a Wi-Fi Extender? Much like the name implies, a Wi-Fi extender increases the range of your Wi-Fi but does so through a particular way: a cable. This can either be achieved through a coaxial cable, an ethernet cable, or even Powerline networking. Powerline networking tends to have different standards and names based on the manufacturer. At this point, you might be thinking: “What’s the point of a Wi-Fi router if I have to use a cable anyway?...

What Is Apple Doing? The reports of Apple’s plans originated from The Financial Times and Johns Hopkins University Professor Matthew Green, both generally reliable sources. Of course, until Apple confirms this to be the case, there’s always a chance this doesn’t happen. Apple reportedly demonstrated the plan to some US academics earlier this week. — Matthew Green (@matthew_d_green) August 4, 2021 According to the reports, Apple will use a system it calls “neuralMatch” to scan American iPhones for child abuse imagery....

Google Meet is constantly receiving updates and new features. Today is no exception, as Google has announced that all Meet users can have up to 25 co-hosts in a meeting. While it’s a cool feature, it’s hard to imagine why you’d need 25 people co-hosting a call. Google Meet’s New Co-Hosting Limits Previously, this feature was only available to Google’s Education customers, but the company has decided to roll it out to all Google Meet users....
