Head below for a walk-through of the new dark theme on macOS 10.14 Mojave… Apple first introduced a new dark mode with Mac OS X Yosemite.

The world of Harry Potter is full of wonderful magics and artifacts… but there are just as many that are dangerous and deadly. Many artifacts look harmless, but that is very much not the case. Admittedly most of the dangerous artifacts were either designed to target specific enemies, or they were designed to go after unknowing muggles (seems a little mean, doesn’t it?). Then there are those ones you really have to watch out for....
Of all the houses at Hogwarts, Gryffindor is the one that is most associated with bravery and chivalry. As such, it’s assumed that everyone in this house will always act with courage and that they won’t be cowardly. While many people sorted into Gryffindor are extremely brave, there are some that are less so than others. And, since people are complex and the sorting system is imperfect, there are also those who are pretty cowardly overall....

Each professor that took on the challenge of teaching defensive magic to the next generation found themselves unemployed (or worse) by the end of the year. Across Harry’s time at Hogwarts, as well as its larger history, there have been a wide variety of professors in the role. Most of them have been incompetent at best, but some were even cruel to the students....

One of iOS 9’s most useful features on modern iPads is the ability to playback videos from the Home screen or other apps using picture-in-picture. Video services have to opt-in to supporting PIP, though, so it means App Store apps must be updated before the feature works.

Blizzard announced yesterday that Hearthstone would be getting some changes to its Classic set, and the initial excitement has given way to a familiar sense of dread - it feels like the new cards are underpowered and at odds with what the classes they represent actually need. Hearthstone has recently been the beneficiary of a series of card buffs for the first time in the game’s history, creating a more dynamic meta where most decks have powerful options, leading to back-and-forth gameplay where it never really feels like a player is out of the game....
