As we’ve learned through various reader polls over the last week, people really love the new black and Jet Black iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Alongside the new device colors, Apple has also introduced a new black Lightning Dock and YouTuber DetroitBorg has gone hands-on with the accessory ahead of the iPhone 7’s full release later this week. As noted in the video, the black is a matte black much like that of the black iPhone 7....

If you’re not familiar, gallium nitride (GaN) is the tech that allows RAVPower to create such sleek and compact chargers. In addition to being more power efficient, GaN offers big space savings so you’re getting more outputs along with the smaller size, all without creating excess heat. As shown above and below, the RAVPower 65W 4-Port Desktop USB-C Charger is about half the size of the charger Apple includes with its 13- and 16-inch MacBook Pro notebooks yet has four times as many ports....

It’s rather hard to believe that the final Harry Potter movie was released eight years ago this summer—and even harder to comprehend how it’s been 18 years since the first of the series came out. It was arguably a franchise ahead of its time when it came to cinema, with the wizard’s world having Hollywood success long before the likes of the Marvel and DC Universes had even contemplated trying to conquer the big screen....

In the Harry Potter series, friendship is one of the biggest themes. The friendships between Harry, Ron, and Hermione are a core part of the series, and the most important relationships in many ways. While the trio might get talked about the most when it comes to friendship, there are also many other important friendships throughout the series. Even Harry, Ron, and Hermione have other close friendships that are quite endearing....

SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame Jeremy Renner offers a closer look at the elaborate tattoo sleeve of Clint Barton/Hawkeye as assumed the person of Ronin in Avengers: Endgame. Skipping out the initial bout against Thanos (Josh Brolin) in Avengers: Infinity War, Barton spent his days on house arrest after striking a deal with the government with regard to the fallout of the events of Captain America: Civil War. But just because he wasn’t on the battle lines while his fellow heroes tried to stop the Mad Titan from decimating half of population in the universe, doesn’t mean he wasn’t impacted by the villain’s actions....

In Heave Ho, players will have to work together, like legless trapeze artists, to fling themselves to the flag. And they’ll surely have fun doing it. Every so often, a couch co-op game comes along that steals the spotlight from groups go-to’s. After all, you can only play Super Smash Bros. for so many hours without it becoming frustrating if you and your friends are at disparate skill levels. And for those without a Nintendo Switch, there aren’t many options for cooperative offline play....

Henry Cavill talks about possibly wearing Superman’s black suit in Justice League. Finally joining the rest of the cast of the upcoming DC movie after being basically sidelined in all promotional material and activities, the English actor is now able to give his two cents about the mysteries that surround the Man of Steel’s supposed death and eventual resurrection. This includes persistent speculation of the black suit potentially making its big screen debut via the Zack Snyder-directed project....

For the moment, the new Apple TV’s accessory compatibility can fairly be described as “confusing.” It’s confirmed that Bluetooth speakers and headphones — previously unsupported by older Apple TVs — work with the new model. On the other hand, Bluetooth keyboards, which previously worked with Apple TVs, do not. And Bluetooth game controllers… well, if they were Made For iPhone (or iPad), they work with the new Apple TV. But contrary to some erroneous early reports, if they were made for other devices (say, the PlayStation 4), they don’t....

Wondering how the new iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro look in green? Wait no more, as an early video shows exactly how both of these phones look in real life. Shared by Twitter user Majin Bu, who usually leaks iPhone cases before their release, the new iPhone 13 green and the iPhone 13 Pro in Alpine Green look very green. While the regular model has a dark green approach, the Pro version looks a lot like a revised version of the iPhone 11 Pro in Midnight Green....

It’s been quite the week for the Harry Potter fandom, with the release of the first cast images from the upcoming play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which will open for previews in London’s West End from June 7th. With the familiar characters from J.K. Rowling’s books and films now nineteen years older, it’s fair to say they’ve changed quite a bit. First we had images of an adult Harry, his wife, Ginny, and their son, Albus....

The Battle of Hogwarts was the scene that brought the Harry Potter franchise to a close, both in the books and movie. It’s where the Boy Who Lived and his close friends and loyalists make their final stand against Lord Voldemort, eventually reigning supreme and bringing the villain’s time in charge of the magical community to an abrupt end. Their victory comes at a cost, however, with the likes of Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Fred Weasley and Lavender Brown all dying on the battlefield....

Password representations are primarily associated with hash keys, such as MD5, SHA, WHIRLPOOL, RipeMD, NTMLv1, NTMLv2 and so on. They are also defined as a one-way function — this is a mathematical operation that is easy to perform, but very difficult to reverse engineer. Hashcat turns readable data into a garbled state (this is a random string of fixed-length size). Hashes do not allow someone to decrypt data with a specific key, as standard encryption protocols allow....

The Apple Watch has been in large part selling to people who don’t wear conventional watches, but it has also taken significant market share from traditional watch brands. That latter trend could be significantly accelerated by the new heart-related features in the Apple Watch Series 4, think some commentators – for one simple reason … It’s mostly older people who wear traditional watches: the exact same age group who are likely to be most concerned about their health....

Started by three former Mophie executives, Nimble is a new company taking a fresh approach on making accessories like power banks and wireless chargers. With the mantra, “Tech for Good” Nimble thinks users should know where products come from, how they are made, and the impact they have on the environment. We recently got to test out Nimble’s full lineup of thoughtful new accessories, read on for our full review....

Aqara is a manufacturer that’s pretty new on my radar in terms of smart home support, so I was excited to get to use their devices and see how they work with HomeKit. This week, I want to take a look at the Aqara Smart Home Start Kit and the Aqara Water Sensor to see how easy the setup is, how to connect it to HomeKit, and how it works day-to-day....

In this episode, Benjamin and Jeff talk about the newly announced MacBooks, speculate on future MacBooks and iPhone redesigns, as well as the WWDC announcement and early expectations for Apple’s upcoming software announcements for iOS 10, OS X 10.12 (macOS?), watchOS and tvOS. The Happy Hour podcast is available for download on iTunes and through our dedicated RSS feed.

The Royal family’s Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle’s Christmas card is revealed. The adorable snap of the family of three is dominated by baby Archie. Markle was building her acting career by starring on Suits and as a model for Deal or No Deal, when she began her relationship with Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, back in June 2016. She was set up on a blind date by a mutual friend and the two immediately hit it off....

Throughout the films, books, and theme park, there has been a lot of delicious-looking treats in Harry Potter’s Wizarding World. However, some have looked quite disgusting. From booger flavored jelly-beans to deadly lollipops, be prepared, for some of these may make your stomach turn. Honeydukes, outside of Hogsmeade has been the supplier of most of these strange things. Most of these treats and drinks are also available in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter located in Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando but you should definitely only try them at your own discretion....
