Bungie has confirmed Trials of Osiris will finally return to Destiny 2 next season, but Artifact Power could ruin the mode for many players. The developer announced Trials’ return along with that of Destiny 2’s next season, Season of the Worthy. First seen in in Destiny 1, the 3v3 Trials of Osiris mode served as the endgame activity for PvP players, providing a particularly “sweaty” challenge each weekend. Since Destiny 2’s similar 3v3 mode, Trials of the Nine, ended in August 2018, PvP players have continually complained that they had little reason to continue playing the game....

What’s the one thing cooler than using an Apple Watch app to summon your Tesla from the garage to your front door? Asking Siri to do it for you. That’s what developer Sam Gabbay has achieved, using Apple’s HomeKit. It’s not exactly plug-and-play. You’ll need Xcode, and have to install four other apps to do the necessary configuring, but Gabbay provides instructions on GitHub and a 7-minute video tutorial on YouTube....

Disney has finally launched its long-awaited streaming service, Disney+, but the way they’re treating The Simpsons means it’s already made a mistake. After much discussion and many months of hype, The Walt Disney Company revealed Disney+ to North American audiences. Disney+ launched with every major Disney movie, countless TV specials and series, a host of National Geographic documentaries, and the blockbuster epics of Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar, not to forget the new and upcoming original films and shows such as The Mandalorian....

The official trailer for Disney’s live-action Mulan has released online. Following the recent box office success of its Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King retellings, the Mouse House is giving yet another one of its beloved ’90s animated films a makeover. Released in 1998, Disney’s original Mulan wasn’t as lucrative as the studio’s other Animation Renaissance features, but it was an Oscar-nominated hit in its own right. For the 2020 version, however, director Niki Caro (McFarland, USA) is making some noticeable changes to its predecessor....

Square Enix already informed us that developer Eidos Montreal would be releasing its highly anticipated iOS instalment of Deus Ex this week on July 11. Today the app appears to have hit the App Store worldwide a day early with the expected $6.99 price tag. The App Store link is already live for the game in the US, and it should be available to download elsewhere shortly. Deus Ex: The Fall is available for both iPhone and iPad as a universal download, but keep in mind you’ll need a free 1....

Of all of the Apple TV+ original series available at launch, Dickinson is the only one with episodes that clock in at 30 minutes or less. That ultimately works in the show’s favor as the shorter runtime aligns well with its comedic ambitions, its somewhat twee sensibilities, and its very extra, only occasionally exhausting, use of anachronisms — particularly dialogue and music — that plainly hammer home potent themes of feminism, artistry, and the idealism of youth....

Bob Iger is thankful to Sony for ending the Spider-Man debacle. Several weeks ago, news broke out that Sony is pulling the web-slinging hero from the MCU after they failed to reach a new deal with Disney and Marvel Studios. This was fresh off the news that Spider-Man: Far From Home has become the highest grossing Sony movie of all time, so naturally, it came as a shock to everyone. As days went by, many moved on and came to terms with the idea of Peter Parker no longer interacting with the Avengers, but last night, things changed after it was announced that an agreement has been made....

When it comes to a new incarnation, Doctor Who fans will admit that certain companions have found a way into their hearts. When it came to The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant), many fans loved his chemistry with Rose (Billie Piper). This pairing was different from its predecessors as it was the first time fans saw a romance brewing between the Time Lord and his partners. There were a few mixed reviews as it was seen to be unconventional....

Chris Chibnall has taken on Doctor Who showrunner duties for the foreseeable future. This longtime writer for the series, as well as a writer for Torchwood, is well known on British TV. His crime series Broadchurch remains one of the most lauded shows in recent memory. But for Doctor Who fans, his legacy is a bit more complicated. His run on Doctor Who has remained divided, to say the least. He has given fans a lot of amazing moments and additions to the world, but his overall catalog of written stories has left a lot to be desired....

The Doctor is one of the most iconic sci-fi characters of all time. The time-traveling alien has been on our screens for over 50 years and held 13 different identities and faces, that we’re aware of anyway. While the Doctor’s personality has always shifted between regenerations, one thing has stayed fairly consistent throughout the incarnations - the Doctor’s intelligence. The Doctor is always known as a genius character and often defeats enemies with their mind, rather than through brawn or violence....

The secret’s out – John Simm’s Master is back for Doctor Who Series 10. As a firm fan-favorite and one of Nu-Who’s best villains, this is a pretty massive deal in a season that already boasts Mondasian Cybermen, Ice Warriors, and a regeneration. Although, like any great return in the canonically-challenged time-travel series, it does pose a string of massive, confusing questions. Doctor Who has a history of bringing back iconic baddies regardless of how little it makes sense (the Daleks have been completely wiped out three times since 2005 only to return after a matter of episodes), but the logistics for Simm’s return are particularly convoluted....

MacSales may have uncovered a secret firmware update that will allow older MacBooks and MBPros to use 8GB of RAM. The information originated in Mac Forums. Whether any other elements were affected by this change is undetermined, but it did change memory addressing; with the later version of the update installed, you could address a full 8GB in Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, Software Update doesn’t show this version as being different from the previous one, so users wouldn’t be notified if they had already updated their firmware to the older version....

In a perfect TV world, if a show only gets a few short seasons, every single episode will be gold. It will feature funny moments, great quotes, and award-worthy performances. In the case of Difficult People, there are only three seasons of the Hulu comedy, and while many of them are standouts, some don’t even feel like they’re part of the same show. Of course, Julie (Julie Klausner) and Billy (Billy Eichner) are so hilarious and clever that fans can forgive some of the episodes that are lacking in humor and plot....

Luci and Elfo play pivotal roles in the life of Dreamland’s own Princess Tiabeanie. They are the literal incarnation of the devil and the angel upon her shoulders; Luci is a demon sent from Hell and Elfo is a sweet-natured elf from the innocent land of Elfwood. Nevertheless, the trio formed a strong friendship as all of them were misfits who didn’t quite fully belong in their homeworld. Bean, Luci, and Elfo have been on several adventures throughout Disenchantment, but who has truly been Bean’s best friend?...

Though Walt Disney Pictures has created many successful films throughout its existence, it’s impossible to talk about the company’s history without mentioning the movies it released during the 1950s. While Disney got its theatrical start by releasing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, it wasn’t until a decade and a few years later that it really picked up speed by introducing some of its most popular films with legacies that still live on today....

Disney has had a complicated relationship with sequels. While the studio’s most recent follow-up film, Frozen 2, became the highest-grossing animated film of all time, not every sequel has been given the same high-quality treatment. During the ’90s and 2000s in particular, Disney decided to capitalize on its most popular theatrical releases by giving them direct-to-video sequels and prequels. Though this format led to lower production costs, it also led to films of lower quality....

We’re all tired of hearing about how to protect ourselves from a particular nasty bug by now, but what about our devices? If you think the answer to the question “do Macs get viruses” is no, we’ve got bad news—security breaches of their operating system skyrocketed in 2021. Fret not, though—below, we have all the info on recognising threats and stopping them in their tracks. Can You Get a Virus on a Mac?...

Who would have thought that a pepper pot with an eye stock and a plunger for an appendage would go on to become one of pop culture’s most notorious villains? That’s exactly what happened with Doctor Who’s most infamous foe, the dreaded Daleks. Over the past 50+ years, the Daleks have remained hell-bent on galactic domination and the extermination of all life in the universe, save themselves. That doesn’t leave a lot of room to grow as villains, and that’s why we’re taking a look at 10 ways the Daleks need to evolve if they hope to remain relevant....

The Guardian is reporting that Apple legal representatives met with California’s department of motor vehicles to discuss regulations about self-driving cars. On record, the DMV told The Guardian that “the Apple meeting was to review DMV’s autonomous vehicle regulations”. This news follows reports that Apple is searching for a private road-testing site for its ‘Apple Car’ electric vehicle project. More interestingly, The Guardian claims to have obtained documents that suggest the Apple Car is close to leaving the lab as the project deemed ‘Project Titan’ has now an official Engineering Program Manager....
