Facebook announced today some major changes in its News Feed, which will be available for iOS users in the coming weeks. First of all, Facebook is adding a feature that already exists on Twitter: the ability to control what you share. Every time you post on your feed, the app is going to ask who can comment: everyone, friends, or profiles and pages you mention. The company is also making it easier to control what you see....

In an email earlier today to Reuters Facebook stated: “After testing Deals for four months, we’ve decided to end our Deals product in the coming weeks.” Of course the leader in the daily-deal industry, Groupon, hasn’t had it easy lately either. The problem could lie in the social deal business model –which seems to circumvent customer loyalty by forming a pack of deal hounds that only go to the deals....

But the cost to advertise on Facebook is growing. In 2021, cost per thousand (CPM) ad impressions were up 61% versus the previous year. With ad prices increasing and competition remaining high, it’s important to make every advertising dollar count. That’s where the Facebook pixel comes in. Facebook’s tracking pixel provides crucial information about your Facebook ad campaigns. It gives you insight into the actions people take on your website after they click on an ad....

Surviving a post-apocalyptic landscape is hard enough but Fallout 4 survival mode challenges even the most skilled players and is the best way to experience the game. Fallout is a series of RPG/action games that take place centuries after a nuclear attack has devastated the world. Players are cast into this hellish, retro-futuristic landscape and must overcome hostile survivors, mutated creatures and ghouls while deciding whether to help others or only look out for themselves....

It was recently revealed that The Family Chantel star Winter’s boyfriend Jah has been hiding a secret child. The TLC spinoff stars 90 Day Fiancé alums Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno, along with their eccentric families. In the new series, which premiered earlier this year, viewers get an inside look at the chaos that is Pedro and Chantel’s relationship. The two became known for their blowout arguments on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé, mostly due to the fact that their families have always opposed their marriage....

Often one of the best things about a new version of macOS is the new wallpaper options. Over the years though, some of the most iconic wallpapers have gradually disappeared from the operating system as screen resolution has improved. Fear not, as Stephen Hackett of 512 Pixels has rounded up every new Mac OS X wallpaper since Cheetah… Hackett worked with designer @forgottentowel to upscale the older wallpapers to 5K resolution, meaning they’ll look nice and crispy even on the high-resolution iMac and MacBook Pros....

When the first game in the Final Fantasy series was released in the West, it was obvious to many fans that the developer took a lot of inspiration from Dungeons & Dragons. When you select your first party of four characters, you must choose from six different “jobs” that defined their abilities. This comes straight from D&D, where every player must choose a “class” for their character. These can be anything from a wizard who can hurl fireballs, to an armoured knight who stands on the frontline of the battlefield....

Facebook announced it’s launching new ways to inform people if they’re interacting with content that’s been rated by a fact-checker, as well as taking stronger action against people who repeatedly share misinformation on the platform. Before a user likes a page that repeatedly shared misinformation, Facebook will give a pop-up to warn the user and include what fact-checkers said about some posts shared by the page that includes false information....

A number of commentators in posts about Zuckerberg’s testimony to Congress have noted that Facebook has made campaign contributions to more than a few of those questioning him … And it’s true: Facebook has, over the last 12 years, made campaign contributions to Democrats and Republicans alike, totalling some $7M. But if there was any question whether such contributions led to legislators going easy on the company, the answer appears to be, mostly, no....

In theory, nobody should be able to access or intercept your 2FA code, but cybercriminals use sophisticated technology to get around this limitation. There’s another way criminals are intercepting 2FA codes. This method uses a fake SMS app to steal data. Read on for details on this malicious app and a few ways to protect against these threats. Here’s the backstory Using 2FA lets you verify your identity when logging into an account....

Newt Scamander’s Patronus animal is a bigger spoiler for the future Fantastic Beasts films than some fans might think, which means that Eddie Redmayne’s quirky magizoologist may have even more secrets and layers than were revealed in the first film. That’s saying something too, since when Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released late last year, the best thing that the film did was introduce Harry Potter fans to a new group of characters that they could love and be willing to follow along with again in next year’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2, and then three more subsequent films after that....

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sets the franchise up for a five film arc that will seemingly tell the story of the dark wizard Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) and his rise to power across Europe. However, despite the focus of Fantastic Beasts 2 and subsequent movies shifting to Grindelwald and Dumbledore (still to be cast), Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) will still play an important role in the story going forward, and audiences will get to learn more of his backstory; including (hopefully) why he was expelled from Hogwarts, and why Dumbledore fought to keep him at the school....

2017 has already had its fair share of major releases and tentpole films hitting the big screen, despite the fact that we aren’t even four full months into the year. With titles like Logan, John Wick: Chapter 2, The LEGO Batman Movie, Beauty and the Beast, and more, 2017 got off to a big start from the very beginning and hasn’t slowed down yet. But even with Beauty and the Beast crossing $1 billion at the box office this week, 2017 is about to kick it into high gear (pun intended) with The Fate of the Furious, the eighth installment in the Fast and Furious franchise, which just a few years ago no one expected to last this long....

Many dog food suppliers do whatever they can to save money, so they’ll throw fillers into their feed. That means your pooch could be chowing down on chicken manure, sawdust and lead. If you want what’s best for your pet, you need to investigate the food itself, from the quality to the ingredients. Often, expensive dog food is worth it — but you shouldn’t fall for marketing schemes. Here’s what to watch out for....

Network File System, or NFS, allows remote hosts to mount the systems/directories over a network. An NFS server can export a directory that can be mounted on a remote Linux machine. This allows the user to share the data centrally to all the machines in the network. For the demo purpose, I am using Metasploitable in this article. Download the Metasploitable VM from here. The walkthrough Set it up and run the VM....

Facebook seems to be on something of a mission at present to copy all the best features from popular apps and services out there. Just a couple of days after it added Snapchat-style ephemeral stories, it has announced that it has created a GoFundMe type personal fundraising feature. Although Facebook describes the six permitted categories as ‘specific,’ they seem to cover most potential needs between them … Personal fundraisers allow people to raise money for themselves, a friend or someone or something not on Facebook, for example a pet....

Many a time, things don’t function seamlessly as they are expected to work. In the case of iPhone 11, the complaints of the device not showing up in iTunes on Mac are often reported. Apple’s own data management system, iTunes plays a vital role in organizing and optimizing its devices. Needless to say, it’s annoying when one of the best software of Apple, which connects its ecosystem, stops functioning. Rest assured, we have got a solution to this issue....

While the anticipation surrounding 20th Century Fox’s Logan has reached palpably high levels, there’s also an air of sadness surrounding that excitement for the film. The reason being is that it marks the last time fans will ever get to see Hugh Jackman play Wolverine in a film, ending his 17-year long on-screen journey as the character, which began in 2000’s X-Men. Aside from just the beloved nature of his performance, fans have been quick to lament all the opportunities Jackman’s Wolverine will miss by him saying goodbye now....

Universal revealed new footage from Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. The idea for the spinoff was inspired by Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s scenes together in 2017’s The Fate of the Furious. While a post-credits stinger that set up the spinoff was scrapped, the project was officially announced shortly after the eighth Fast & Furious movie hit theaters. Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2 director David Leitch later boarded the film, and it’s been smooth sailing for Hobbs & Shaw ever since....

Although it began as a rip-off of The Simpsons that focused on not-so-relatable domestic situations, Family Guy has since evolved into a few different shows rolled into one. When it revolves around Peter and Lois, it’s a dark satire about a failing marriage. When it revolves around Peter, Joe, Cleveland, and Quagmire, it’s a buddy comedy. And when it revolves around Brian and Stewie, it can be pretty much anything. It can be a sci-fi story about time travel or dimension-hopping; it can be a road trip story in the mold of the old Bob Hope/Bing Crosby movies, or it can be something else entirely....
