After Life was one of the best shows that Netflix produced last year, and it was a real return to the top table for Ricky Gervais, who has been able to produce a series of classics throughout the course of his career. Now, one of the biggest questions of all is whether or not they can follow up with a strong second season. While there hasn’t been an official release date as of yet, we’d guess that it’ll appear on our screens before the end of 2020....

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has for some time been the show most connected to the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe. Due to its ties to both the MCU and Marvel comics themselves, there’s been plenty of opportunities to add interesting supporting characters. Sometimes these characters are not given enough time to be fully developed however. They can be rushed in their arcs, killed off suddenly or, can disappear altogether without any explanation. Here’s 10 characters we think deserve more screen time on the show....

Drafts for iPhone and Drafts for iPad received a major update today. Drafts is by far the fastest way to input text on iOS. A blank text field and keyboard greets you as soon as you launch Drafts.

Nothing is more frustrating than having to first see an inbox begging to distract you before drafting an email....

Both Ad Astra and Interstellar deal with juggling space travel and interpersonal relationships in a not-too-distant future, making them the sort of modern sci-fi stories that are more focused on the cerebral platitudes they present than on the authenticity of their science. Both focus on men who must go on daring missions into space to save their species, while wrestling with their own inner emotional turmoil on their journeys to the stars....

Back in 2012 we noted that Apple was hiring engineers to help localize Siri into a number of languages the feature does not yet support. Those included Arabic, Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, and Danish, and recently Apple has added job listings for three more languages: Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Thai. Apple also posted more recent job listings for the languages it first started hiring for back in 2012. While Apple didn’t announce any new languages for Siri coming in iOS 8 when it previewed the new operating system earlier this month, it’s always a possibility languages could be added in time for its release this fall....

It’s a couple of weeks since LG announced its upcoming 34-inch ultrawide Thunderbolt 3 monitor, and now Samsung has done the same. While LG has the higher resolution – effectively between 4K and 5K – Samsung is hoping that its curved design will win fans … The Samsung CJ791 QLED Monitor offers a resolution of 3440×1440 pixels, in contrast with LG’s 5120×2880.

AirPods Pro 2 pack a number of improvements over their predecessors, many of which are made possible by the new H2 chip inside. New testing performed by Stephen Coyle, a musician and software developer, reveals another hidden benefit of the new AirPods Pro 2 and the H2 chip: significant improvements in latency. One of the downsides of Bluetooth (and wireless technologies in general) has always been latency. This is the time between when a sound occurs on your device and when that sound is then played through your AirPods....

It’s been a little over a year since Apple released its coin-shaped item tracker, AirTag. Since then, we’ve seen loads of stories featuring the good, the bad, and the ugly of these trackers.

Police used Find My to track AirTag Just recently, police in North Carolina have used the tracking technology of AirTag to track down a serial thief....

When HYDRA first appeared in the pages of Marvel Comics in 1965 (Strange Tales #135) it was as one of many Secret Society villain organizations (like the rest, little more than a copyright-skirting “borrowing” of Ian Fleming’s 007-bedeviling SPECTER) set up to be crushed by Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. Led by nondescript evil businessman Arnold Brown, they were defeated in short order and clearly never intended to become a permanent or even important fixture of the broader Marvel Universe....

SPOILERS for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers: Infinity War ahead. The latest Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode, ‘The Force of Gravity’, takes place during Avengers: Infinity War and still doesn’t deal with the movie’s ending. As Marvel fans who have seen the latest movie release know, the ending of Avengers: Infinity War is a major cliffhanger that’s bound to have far-reaching effects on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. barely referenced Infinity War when the movie released, and hasn’t truly dealt with the film’s world-altering ending....
