When it comes to adult animation shows, Archer has become a unique and beloved series. While it follows the hijinks of the entire spy agency, the true star of the show is Sterling Archer himself. A complete James Bond parody, Archer is arrogant, drunk, selfish, obsessed with the opposite gender, and somehow amazing at his job. In later seasons, he’s mellowed out and become a decent enough boyfriend to Lana and father to Abbiejean....

The chip maker is accusing the Computer & Communications Industry Association, a group that consists of companies such as Google, Samsung, and Facebook, of waging a “coordinated effort aimed at misdirecting” government regulators. Earlier this month, Qualcomm filed a patent infringement suit against Apple seeking an import ban on iPhone models that use modem chips “other than those supplied by Qualcomm affiliates....

Thanos almost wielded a battle axe instead of a weird, giant sword in Avengers: Endgame, according to some recently released concept art images. The arrival and subsequent battle with Thanos, the long-awaited Mad Titan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had been hinted at slowly among the many superhero films which took place before Avengers: Infinity War, with the villain’s desire to obtain the titular infinity stones a driving force behind many of the previous movies’ plots....
First off, we need to establish that we have an Internet connection. We do this by using ping command. Next, we need to tell systemd to start the DHCP service. Then we need to test the connection using ping. On VirtualBox, I had an issue with ping returning each packet with its own duplicate (DUP!). I fixed this by switching the VM’s network device from using a ‘Bridged Adapter’ through my Wi-Fi to NAT....

Kicked off in 2016, The Flux Party set off with a claim to transform democracy in Australia, and would do so by having no policies. In the place of what politics is all about, other than power, Flux intended to use a blockchain-based smartphone app so that its membership would be able to vote on how its potential parliamentarians would vote. “Our only policy is parliamentary reform essentially,” founder Max Kaye told ZDNet in 2016....

WARNING: This episode includes SPOILERS for Arrow Season 5 Episode 13 - Typically, TV shows based on a monster-of-the-week formula or capes-and-cowls soap opera tend to find their footing and tone with greater ease as the seasons wear on. But The CW’s Arrow has become something of an enigma of late, as the show’s early dedication to grounded (if theatrical) street crime soon gave way to superpowers and ancient mysticism. Despite comments from the star reinforcing the idea that Arrow is best when it leaves comic book fantasy to its CW colleagues, the grounded, visceral violence and moral dilemmas of the early season have continued to fade in place of more ‘comic book’ action (for lack of a better term)....
