The second entry in the franchise directed by Jon Watts set up a lot of moments which might not be followed up on, given the implications of the split between Sony and Marvel, but one of those moments stand out from the rest. Far From Home benefited financially from its close association with Avengers: Endgame, exceeding expectations and breaking box office records....

As FFXIV Shadowbringers Patch 5.11 arrived recently, fans have begun exploring the new additions to Eorzea that Square Enix have implemented just days after the NieR: Automata crossover event began in earnest with Patch 5.1: Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty.

Ok, the pedants among us will argue that today isn’t the end of the decade – that’s really a year from now – but it seems as good a time as any to look back at my favorite Apple products over the years.

There are pros & cons to the idea, of course, with one 911 operator saying that a similar Blackberry function has resulted in “thousands and thousands” of false emergency calls, each of which have to be treated as real calls for help until demonstrated otherwise....

I started running in 2016 in part to test the newly added GPS feature on the Apple Watch that year. Series 2 hardware was the first to let you accurately track outdoor workout distances with mapped routes without carrying the iPhone, even if cellular wouldn’t come for one more version. The same Apple Watch generation introduced the Nike+ version of the hardware with the Nike Run Club app heavily promoted, so I started tracking runs with NRC…...

It works seamlessly with any third-party application unlike before when only a handful of apps on the App Store were written to specifically support video output.
