Now, we’ve learned that Black Panther co-star Daniel Kaluuya (who played W’Kabi in the first Black Panther film) will not be in the second chapter. Kaluuya, who is starring in Jordan Peele’s Nope (due July 22), was too busy. News first broke when Rotten Tomatoes’ Jacqueline Coley tweeted (opens in new tab) out “Fresh from my Nope interview with Daniel Kaluuya he did not reprise his role in #BlackPanther2 due to his schedule conflicts,” with the Jordan Peele film....

Oh, and this film is both adored by the critics (86% and Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab)) and audience (84% on RT) alike. And I have to admit, this isn’t a movie I was sold on when it first came out. So, what’s the movie? It’s the 2017 remake of Stephen KIng’s It. Updated with a feel that made me think Stranger Things (before Stranger Things got really scary), It just jumped up the Netflix Top 10 Movies in the U....

If you’re a heavy Google Chrome users you’ve probably been frustrated by sluggish performance at some point. It’s not uncommon for the world’s most popular browser to slow to a near crawl once you’ve opened more than a dozen tabs. Google’s own advice (opens in new tab) of closing all unused tabs to minimize system load is effective but it’s hardly the most convenient solution to this problem. For one reason or another, you may want to have tens of tabs open....

But some people are not fans of the thick chin that sits along the bottom of the iMac underneath the screen, breaking its symmetry. For most, this criticism will only go as far as grumbling in below-the-line comments sections, but some — like these engineers in China (opens in new tab) — will go to extremes to make the iMac they believe Apple should have created all along. Behold: an iMac without its chin!...

Too Old for Fairy Tales, the Polish coming-of-age dramedy, dropped last week on July 18 and recently cracked Netflix’s top 10 movies list. It currently sits at No. 5 in between Persuasion and The Man From Toronto. Netflix’s recent track record on the movies side has been, well, mixed. The current No. 1 movie, The Gray Man, is already getting a sequel despite lackluster reviews. And the previous list topper, Persuasion, was ripped apart by critics....

These first reviews, though, may only serve to push fans to wait for the Thor: Love and Thunder’s Disney Plus release. And, no, these reviews aren’t a big bucket of cold water (I’m seeing it on Thursday night, and I’m still excited), but they do quite a good job of tempering your expectations. Many critics seem to be framing Thor: Love and Thunder as “more of the same” when compared to Thor: Ragnarok....

First spotted by Business Insider (opens in new tab), the trademark application (opens in new tab) is for something called “TikTok Music.” Amongst other things, it’s described as “downloadable mobile applications for mobile phones and tablet computers allowing users to purchase, play, share [and] download music.” But that’s just part of a long wishlist that covers everything from recommending, sharing and commenting on playlists to podcasting and “a function for karaoke....

After beating Southampton comfortably in their first game, Tottenham put in a poor performance against London rivals Chelsea. However, they left with a point thanks to a last-gasp equaliser from Harry Kane. Wolves, meanwhile, have only gained one point in their opening two fixtures. They missed a number of chances in their 0-0 draw with Fulham last time out and ultimately needed goalkeeper Jose Sa to save an 80th-minute penalty to avoid defeat....

However, the story is very different on Twitch, where at least 15 different streamers have somehow gotten their hands on the next Pokémon game, and are broadcasting it for the world to see. Information comes from Eurogamer, which researched how many Twitch streams were currently broadcasting Arceus gameplay. At 15 accounts with approximately 800 viewers between them, it’s hardly an epidemic. And yet, it’s not at all clear how these streamers got their hands on Pokémon Legends: Arceus about a week before its official launch....

Right now Verizon is offering a free 5G smartphone with trade-in and eligible 5G plan (opens in new tab). Free phones include the Galaxy S22, Pixel 7 Pro, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and more. Additionally, after you select your free phone, you can also get a free watch, tablet, and buds on Verizon (opens in new tab). With a sale like this, there are a lot of caveats to be aware of and the biggest one is that the tablet and watch require a service/data plan....

The Quasar 2, announced at this year’s CES show, is an upgraded version of the original Quasar charger, which already offered “bidirectional power” to access energy stored in your electric vehicle’s battery. This time, however, it’s been specifically designed to help you last through power outages — assuming you have a bidirectional-compatible EV, that is. Check out all the latest news on our CES live blog The idea behind home batteries, which includes the Tesla Powerwall, is to store energy for when you need it most....

Yes, Golden State’s Steph Curry was all smiles and tongue-wagging after it was all said and done, because the Warriors managed to survive Dallas’ moments of strengths. The second quarter, for example, was particularly rough for the Warriors, as Dallas had been outscoring them with Doncic on the bench at one point, where they were up 34-29. Right now, Dallas is looking at everyone who isn’t Spencer Dinwiddie (26 points), Luka Doncic (40) and Jalen Brunson (20) when it comes to finding offense to stay alive in the series....

West Ham will be wondering how their domestic and European form can be so different. Having won all six group games in the Europa Conference League, the Hammers have lost three of their last four league games, leaving them on the brink of a relegation battle. Last time out against Crystal Palace, the team was particularly poor with just 42% possession against a side they will consider themselves better than....

Right now, Microsoft Store does not have an automatic way to restore apps, which forces users to manually install apps from their library. But Microsoft says it plans to soon test out the feature in its Insider channel. The ability to restore apps will be useful for people who switch PCs often or for people who use multiple devices. It will spare users from having to rely on third-party applications or downloading their apps again....

Although it’s still likely a few months away from rolling out to the public, this is a pretty handy feature to introduce. Being able to record your screen is particularly useful for explaining features and sending replayable tutorials to others, great for a team of people working from home or students. Similarly, the cropped recording function could be particularly useful to content creators like streamers or YouTubers. In a Windows Insider Blog post Principal Product Manager Lead for Windows Inbox Apps, Dave Grochocki said: “Snipping Tool has always made it quick and easy to capture and share content from your PC, and with screen recording built-in, we are expanding these capabilities to even more types of content....

There are two big questions going in. The first one is simple: will Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar lose their championship defenses (to Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley, respectively)? Everyone expects the two to meet at WrestleMania, and since a title unification match doesn’t seem likely at this stage, one of them may need to lose now or at February’s Elimination Chamber event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The other thing on everyone’s mind is the shadow of Ronda Rousey, as multiple popular wrestling journalists are reporting WWE wants her at the Rumble....

For those that don’t regularly eat pumpkins, the innards will just be disposed of without a second thought. This doesn’t have to be the case though — why not make use of those guts and seeds and get the most out of your pumpkin? If you want some guidance or inspiration, here are 6 things you can do with pumpkin guts and seeds. You don’t even have to like the flavor of pumpkin to take advantage of some of these!...

Yes, the Lady Gaga-led House of Gucci is finally on one of the best streaming services. A story of ambition, betrayal and fits (both of style and those of outrage), House of Gucci no longer requires a purchase or rental fee. Meanwhile, a Johnny Depp film that may remind you of the actor’s best works hits Hulu. That said, this week is mostly owned by Netflix Original films (aka things to watch while we wait for Stranger Things 5)....

Also this week, we’ve got a big swing from Netflix. Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio has strong chances of ending up on two of our big lists: the best Netflix movies and the best family movies on Netflix. Not only does it come from a beloved creator, but it’s an adaptation of one of the most iconic children’s stories of all time. Over on HBO Max, you’ve got Amsterdam, which is getting the second chance it may have needed, as the David O....
