Disney Plus: New shows and movies

There may never be a "slow month" for Disney+ again. Marvel Studios took a month off in May, but comes roaring back with Loki in June. WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were undoubtedly successful, but both had their detractors when it came to either show's ability to balance emotional storytelling with loud, colorful action scenes. Loki looks to be the craziest of the bunch by a significant margin, with the titular god of mischief leaping through timelines as he attempts to save himself from being wiped from reality altogether.

That alone would put Disney+ near the ...

Apple recently rolled out the "terrifying" iPhone feature Facebook was so afraid of: App Tracking Transparency (ATT). Announced almost a year ago, ATT is a privacy feature which forces developers that want to track users across apps and services to ask for their permission first. That's never happened before with companies that make money from online ads and track users to sell more lucrative personalized advertisements. Facebook was very vocal against Apple, and the first stats following the rollout of iOS 14.5 prove that the company was right to be afraid. When given the option, most people will ...

Apple's M1 processor is a world-class desktop and laptop processor—but when it comes to general-purpose end-user systems, there's something even better than being fast.

10 million Americans got overcharged by the IRS, and you might be one of them

IRS refund

If you filed your 2020 federal tax return before March 11, listen up -- the IRS just issued some of the best news that it's possible to receive from the tax agency. Namely, that millions of Americans are about to get an unexpected IRS refund.

Here's why: Unemployment insurance benefits that taxpayers receive when they lose their job usually count as taxable income that must be reported on your next federal tax return. Taxpayers who received that UI benefit last year would no doubt have done so if they filed their 2020 return before the March date we ...

AT&T would receive $43 billion in the all-stock transaction through "a combination of cash, debt securities, and WarnerMedia's retention of certain debt."

Obviously, that hasn't been the case. The US public's skepticism toward science is extending toward one of its most important developments: vaccines.

Sharp's new Aquos R6 smartphone puts a 20MP 1-inch sensor behind a Leica-branded Summicron lens

May 17, 2021

Sharp isn't exactly known for its mobile devices, but its new Aquos R6 smartphone (translated) makes quite the statement with its 20MP 1-inch rear camera and 240Hz display.

The device, which appears to be limited to the Japanese market for the foreseeable future, was developed alongside Leica, proof of which is seen in the Leica branding around the 19mm (full-frame equivalent) F1.9 Summicron lens in front of the rear camera. It's unknown at this time what manufacturer produces the 20MP 1-inch sensor, but Sony Semiconductor sells several 20MP 1"-type sensors, so it's possible one of its sensors ...

Among humans, laughter can signify a lot of different things, from intimacy to discomfort. Among animals, however, laughter usually communicates something along the lines of "this is playtime—I'm not actually going for your throat."

According to new research from the University of California, Los Angeles, there are likely at least 65 different creatures, including humans, that make these vocalizations. They're most commonly found in primates, but they have also been noted in distant relatives like birds. It's not clear whether this is because laughter ...

If it seems that electric cars are the future of the automobile, the same was true more than a century ago. With automakers planning to meet government laws ending new internal combustion engine production by 2035, this year's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance—which takes place May 20-23 in Florida—is a reminder that electric cars are ...

A Timely Remembrance of President Eisenhower

May 17, 2021

By Nancy Spannaus

May 17, 2021—Neither Republicans nor Democrats have a kind thing to say about President Dwight D. Eisenhower these days. Yet, provoked by the horrors of the Middle East crisis, I found myself looking once more at the record of the last General we had as President of the United States. What I dug up was a history of statesmanship which speaks to the enduring, if too-weak, influence of American System thinking in the otherwise dismal decade of the 1950s.

How to Measure Your Child's 'Real Age'

May 17, 2021

When kids have ADHD, they tend to be scattered across different developmental areas. In terms of their physical development, a 12-year-old with ADHD, for example, might be right on track for their age. In terms of their expressive language skills and cognitive ability, they could be four years ahead of their same-age peers. But in terms of their executive functioning and emotional maturity, they could be three years behind their chronological age, which is common with children who have ADHD.

In families living with ADHD, parents tend to base their interactions and expectations on their child's expressive language ...

Style And Scooters: A Modern Man's Guide To Mod Fashion
