Recently I noticed that my Late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display seemed to be dying at a faster clip. Naturally, I assumed that the battery might be going bad. After checking the battery cycle count, I learned that I was probably wrong about the battery being bad, as the cycle count was still well within the normal life span of my MacBook. Here’s how I was able to verify that everything was okay with my MacBook’s battery....

How I Met Your Mother might have had the worst finale of all time, but hilarious characters like Marshall and Barney live on to raise our spirits whenever we’re down. Barney Stinson in particular was the breakout character of the series, and is responsible for several pop culture references that were born on the show. He was also the funniest character for most viewers, with his quotes never getting old for fans....

While How I Met Your Mother told the story of how Ted Mosby met the mother of his children, romance bloomed for many other characters as well. In the CBS sitcom, an adult Ted is telling his children in the year 2030 the long-winded story of how he met their mother, looking back to his life in New York City as a 20- and 30-something-year-old man looking for love. He’s surrounded by his good friends Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Barney....

Both run by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock and the new Netflix Dracula have their fair share of similarities, although it is where they differ that tentatively makes the latter a stronger show. The first days of 2020 were met with the first episodes of Netflix’s new Dracula series. It is not Steven Moffat’s first run with adapting a piece of classic literature into a multi-part series. His adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in the BBC’s Sherlock joins the several dozen on-screen iterations that exist of the detective....

As we reported earlier today, the iOS 10 public beta has been released for all interested in having an early hands-on look at iOS 10. Anyone can install the public beta, not just registered Apple developers.

Not every iOS device will work with iOS 10....

Snapchat opens directly to a camera which is its standout feature because it lets you capture moments instantly. Unlike others, where you might have to go through a few maneuvers, you only need to tap the big circle for a photo or hold it down for a video immediately after opening the app. However, you might have noticed the app puts a short limit on how long you can record videos compared to other social platforms....

It sucks when Facebook asks for your ID and locks you out of your account. But you should be grateful for that because if someone attempts to hack your account sometime in the future, they won’t be able to bypass the verification because they don’t have proof of identity. Facebook uses both manual and AI verification to ensure that the review result is best for all parties involved, so it may take a while....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Beauty and the Beast and Power Rangers - Media representation is a hot-button issue right now - with good reason. As discussions about identity become more popular and accessible, fans and critics alike are better equipped to discuss the messages within today’s films and TV shows. While film and TV have predominantly depicted the political “norm” – white, heterosexual characters – for decades, there seems to be a change in the wind....

The latest installment in the Star Wars video game franchise was announced a few days ago during the ongoing Star Wars celebration - Jedi: Fallen Order is officially being developed by EA and Respawn, and the timing couldn’t have been better. As EA nears the end of its exclusivity period with the media franchise, the Jedi: Fallen Order marketing is a weirdly distinct 18o-degree change from the likes of Star Wars Battlefront....

There has been some confusion among players regarding the maximum number of players in the Multiplayer Mode of Command and Conquer Remastered. Everyone who purchases the game will obtain the base game along with Red Alert and the map editor. For each of those games, there is a different limit for maximum players. Gamers were at a delight to see Electronic Arts’ classic real-time strategy shooter, Command and Conquer: Red Alert Remastered launched on Steam today....

HomePod is now in the hands of customers and Apple is publishing more details, tips, and guides for its first smart speaker. We previously discovered that AppleCare+ for HomePod would cost $39, and now Apple has shared that out-of-warranty repair and replacement will cost almost as much as a new HomePod.

New generation web browsers have a built-in password management feature that prompts you to save passwords for different websites you visit. By default, this feature is enabled to give password saving assistance to users, but in case you want to turn off the built-in password manager in your browser, you can do so via the settings tab. Password manager feature helps you ease your work, and using this, and you don’t have to fill in your credentials every time....

There haven’t been many sitcoms that captured the essence of friendship as well as How I Met Your Mother with the Maclaren’s Pub Gang constantly getting in and out of hilarious predicaments that served as subplots to the overall story of Ted explaining how he met his wife. The number of subplots and side-stories How I Met Your Mother went through were vast (as with any sitcom) but some of them were definitely wrapped up better than others....

It’s clear that How I Met Your Mother never backed down when an opportunity came along to build on a long-running joke, but when the series circled back to the Slapsgiving gag in season 9, a certain episode stirred up a lot of controversy due to the unnecessary use of yellowface. Throughout the show, one thing that kept cropping back up every once in a while was the slap bet, something that Barney feared from Marshall....

The MCU’s Phase 4 is inspired by Marvel Comics’ most controversial era - but, fortunately, Marvel Studios has learned from the comics’ mistakes. There’s a sense in which Avengers: Endgame marked the point at which the comics and the movies diverged. In the comics, iconic characters like Captain America and Iron Man are never truly gone. When heroes like Wolverine and Thor are killed off, it’s usually because their sales have dropped a little and Marvel wants to generate short-term interest or shelve them until the right moment....

IT Chapter Two is the next major release on the 2019 release calendar, but how much did it cost to make? In 2017, the new adaptation of Stephen King’s classic novel IT shattered box office records and became a phenomenon, ending its run as the highest-grossing R-rated horror film of all-time. Unquestioningly, Warner Bros. was quick to green light a sequel, which is set to be released this weekend. Already, it’s earning mostly positive reviews and is projected to be a massive box office hit....

Netflix’s The Witcher differs from the video games in many ways, chiefly because the series is based more heavily on the short stories and books rather than CD Projekt Red’s RPG trilogy. The Witcher season one establishes its main characters - Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Ciri - and dives into their back stories and general philosophies to help illustrate the ways they complement and clash with one another....
