Instagram Expanding Efforts To Fend Off Misinformation

The program enables third-party fact-checkers to identify dodgy posts on Instagram, as well as those shared from Facebook. When content has been rated false or partly false, Instagram will reduce its distribution by removing it entirely from the Explore and Hashtag pages. On top of that, content such as these are then labeled with a “false information” overlay that explains why the content is untrustworthy. According to Instagram, the overlay will link out to the rating from the fact-checker and provide links to articles from credible sources that debunk the claims made in the dodgy post....

Instagram Nasty List Is A Phishing Scam In Disguise

According to BleepingComputer, the scam is spreading its way across the app via hacked accounts. Once hacked, the affected accounts will then be programmed to send out the grammatically-butchered message to followers of the account. The message more or less reads “OMG your actually on here, @TheNastyList_34, your number is 15! its really messed up”. The number after the underscore changes with each user, and so does the message every time someone visits the profile listed in the message....

Intel Reviving Six Year Old 22Nm Haswell Pentium Cpu

First put into production in 2013 and discontinued in 2015, the CPU is based on the now defunct and obsolete 22nm process node. The same process node used to manufacture its 3rd generation Ivy Bridge CPUs. As a refresher, the Pentium G3420 is a dual-core CPU that comes without Intel’s HyperThreading technology, has a 53W TDP, and a 3.2GHz baseclock. As we said, it’s hard to imagine what was going through Intel’s mind when it decided to resuscitate an already aging low-end CPU....

James Bond Why It S Okay For A Black Woman To Be The Next 007

If anyone ever asked, I’ve always believed the Bourne trilogy to be the superior spy-thriller franchise. That being said, I have found myself indulging in a Bond film or two over the years and I get why people love them. Everything from the fanciful gadgets to each actor bringing their own brand of sex appeal to the role right down to the exciting world-ending plots. I can definitely see why some diehard fans would find this news distressing, change is never easy....

Justice League Snyder Cut Will Not Be Released Despite Pleas From Director And Cast

However, yesterday, things got really peculiar. Zack Snyder and a large chunk of the Justice League cast, including the leads, took to social media and petitioned to Warner Bros to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, so much so that the hashtag started trending.

On the flip side, the movie rights to Spider-Man still belong to Sony. This means that Sony can use Spider-Man and his supporting characters at any capacity, regardless if Marvel Studios like it or not. It also means that Sony can establish that Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home are set in the same universe as the crappy Venom movie that turned out to be a massive box office success....

Knives Out Sequel Is Officially Coming Our Way

This is fantastic. Knives Out is a spectacularly twisty whodunit that harkens back to the golden days of Agatha Christie, yet feels completely fresh and modern. One that tickles your funny bone as much as it titillates your mind. It’s one of my absolute favourite films of 2019. The sentiment is shared across the critics’ circle at large as well. The film, which stars Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ana De Armas among many others, has a 97% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes (with an average rating of 8....

Leaked Ipad Mini 5 Case Suggests Redesign Akin To Ipad Pro

A case claimed to be for the tablet shows a few changes to the tablet’s design. The rear camera cutout suggests either a second sensor or a flash. Four cutouts split between the top and the bottom also suggests stereo speakers. One cutout at the top suggests that the 3.5mm jack remains. Round the bottom an elongated cutout remain. That said, it doesn’t look long enough to accommodate a USB-C plug, so it’s likely that the Lightning connector will be making a return....

More specifically, the leaker claims that the upcoming MacBook Pro, as well as “the entire Mac Lineup” will come with a 1080p webcam. Beyond that, details are a little on the vague side of things.
