Cloak & Dagger season 2 starts eight months after the first season. Marvel is carving out quite a niche for itself with its popular young-adult superhero TV shows, with both Cloak & Dagger and Runaways sitting in the top 0.3 percent of in-demand TV series. Cloak & Dagger season 2 is finally set to return to Freeform this month. The first season saw Cloak and Dagger - played by Aubrey Joseph and Olivia Holt - confront their destiny as the Divine Pairing....

If you’re not familiar with our new opinion format, Change My View, please check out our guidelines before commenting – thanks! Previous pieces have addressed the MacBook Pro keyboard controversy, whether it’s time for iOS devices to switch to USB-C ports and whether Apple should lose the patent trial. This time I’m looking at an issue I suspect will be no less controversial. My argument is that Apple should neither solicit nor accept tax incentives when seeking a new location for a campus …...

Apple has received many complaints of late of its habit of announcing products before they are ready. Airpods, HomePod, AirPower … and the new Mac Pro currently setting the record. First announced in April 2017, it is expected to be launched sometime in 2019, with cynics suggesting the end of the year rather than the beginning. But Apple doesn’t come anywhere close to Samsung’s record. The company first released a concept video (below) for a folding smartphone way back in 2013....

We also need “a broader societal discussion about privacy”, he said. Speaking at a seminar organised by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) on Thursday, Pezzullo described the surveillance law reforms now under way as more of a rebuild, not just a renovation. “I’d like to get to a point if we can design the legislation almost as if we are… not just renovating an existing structure, but literally clearing a site, levelling it, understanding what’s in the ground, what all the different conditions are in relation to that site, and building the new structure together,” he said....

Smartphones are very useful devices for humans. However, it is not always necessary that one buy this device because of the same reason. For many people, a smartphone is a status symbol. Gone are those days when status can only be reflected through some high-end phones only. Every manufacturer in the market has developed one or more smartphones that can be purchased for reflecting the status. One good example is the Oppo F11....

Realme Smartphones are performing very well in the present time. In fact, this China-based smartphone maker is imposing a lot of challenge for another Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi. There isn’t any doubt that Realme smartphones are truly capable to stand against Xiaomi and are therefore giving them tough competition. When the Narzo series was launched by Realme, it was not expected by anyone that the same will be getting a lot of response from the users....

It comes out of the box with Android Nougat and promised to update Oreo very soon. Well, Just like every smartphone, we may face some issues on OnePlus 5T also. To solve the OnePlus 5T problems, we have written this article to help you....

Let’s check out the steps to unlock the bootloader on Sprint LG G8 Thinq. Most of the OEMs usually ship their devices with a locked bootloader. They do so because they want you, the user, to only use the OS that they have provided. While this makes sense from the security point of view, yet not everyone like the stock OS of their devices. This is why they take the help of custom ROMs....

Apple’s rumored 10th anniversary overhaul of the iPhone could help spur the largest refresh cycle in smartphone history, though such rumors remain speculation more than one year away from its possible launch window. Further out, Apple’s rumored electric vehicle effort — Project Titan — could also trigger the kind of massive revenue windfall necessary to drive Apple’s valuation above $1 trillion. To be clear, Apple is certainly a plausible candidate here, but it needs at least one new home-run product to surpass this historic mark....

Apple’s Latest Update for Apple TV brought a few new apps to the service. The one that caught this geek’s attention was Crunchyroll. It’s an app that gives users streams of several popular Japanese TV shows. Most of what’s available is animé. It’s what many folks Stateside call Japanese animation, or “Japanimation” if they aren’t familiar with it. I’m not what you’d call a huge animé fan, but that’s probably why I like this service so much....

Huzzah! With just the quick flick of a switch in your settings tab, Dark Mode does precisely as the name implies and adjusts the color of your screen giving you a white text on black background display for a darker in-app experience. Dark Mode is a standard option in the settings menu on the latest iPhone 11 range – or if you’re running iOS 13 or Android 10, but then it doesn’t turn on by itself, which just means that you’ll have to go to settings to make the leap....

Gamescom 2019 has brought with it a wealth of exclusive premieres, the most highly-anticipated of which has potentially been the Death Stranding presentation helmed by none other than Hideo Kojima himself. Kojima took the stage to show off some new characters, including Del Toro’s Deadman and Qualley’s Mama. Luckily, we had the Death Stranding Gamescom footage to contextualize how these new characters fit into the wider world. The first addition to the roster is Mama, played by Margaret Qualley....

The latest release of Google Chrome is rolling out today for Mac, Windows, and Linux. On desktops, Chrome 73 introduces a handful of changes related to syncing and account sign-in, as well as developer support for hardware media keys and Auto Picture-in-Picture. However, the most significant user-facing addition is a Dark Mode for macOS. Chrome’s Dark Mode respects the Appearance setting in macOS Mojave and the counterpart Windows 10 “Colors” option....

If you use Chrome on your iPhone or iPad, and you’re not running the latest version, you may want to update it. Google has started inviting selected users to enable the data-compression feature it first launched on Android back in March. Or, in less technical terms, Chrome strips out everything not needed to display webpages properly, so you get the same experience but with up to 50% less data usage. For those who do a lot of browsing on 3G/4G, that can make a big difference to your monthly data bill....

One of the most popular deals this holiday shopping season over at 9to5Toys has been the HomePod, discounted as low as $250 through retailers like Target and Best Buy. Now, Apple itself getting in on the HomePod discounts. Earlier this week, Apple launched a promo offering Apple Music subscribers $50 off the HomePod. While Apple’s deal doesn’t bring the smart speaker to the same price point as other sales have, it’s a rare first-party discount on a relatively new Apple device....

This is how we previously described the feature based on our own code findings:...
