Last December, for those moviegoers who weren’t devoting their entire viewing attention to the likes of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, might have noticed a Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg family comedy come and go in its own theatrical release called Daddy’s Home. Despite the generally negative critical reception to the studio film, the reunion of Ferrell and Whalberg, coming after their previous turn together in The Other Guys from 2010, proved to be a box office hit worldwide, and made back a grand total of $240....

After a two years wait, Daredevil season 3 has finally dropped on Netflix - but just where did previous Marvel Netflix shows leave Matt Murdock and his friends? There’s a sense in which Daredevil is the flagship Marvel Netflix series. It was the one that started it all off, the first to get a third season, and the series with - it’s generally believed - the highest viewing figures. As such, there’s been intense anticipation for season 3....

Going into the premiere of Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix, many superhero fans wondered whether The Man Without Fear would finally get a proper screen adaptation. After all, 2003’s theatrical Daredevil movie starring Ben Affleck in the titular role was seen as a highly divisive effort at best and a downright clunker at worst. It’s telling that it took over a decade for the character to be resurrected on-screen, but thankfully, Marvel did indeed fix the mistakes made previously....

Criminal Minds is a long-running, fan-favorite, crime-procedural series that began back in 2005. The series follows an elite team of F.B.I. profilers from the B.A.U. (Behavior Analysis Unit) as they race against time to uncover and stop the UnSubs, a.k.a. unknown subjects. Characters have come and gone, and the team’s dynamics have evolved throughout the seasons but the entertaining—and sometimes surprising—friendships are a staple of the show. As the 15th and final season approaches, it’s time to look back at some of the best (and worst) friendships....

CSS Styled HTML lists have become an invaluable tool in an HTML developer’s toolbox. This is mainly due to the fact that HTML lists are versatile and flexible in nature. Lists can be used for simple tasks such as creating an ordered listing of items, or for fully-featured navigation bars. CSS allows you to set different list item markers for ordered lists and unordered lists, as well as an image as the list item marker....

The NYT reports that Rite Aid has joined CVS in disabling Apple Pay as a payment method in its stores. Like CVS, Rite Aid is a member of the Merchant Customer eXchange (MCX) consortium promoting a rival mobile payment service, CurrentC. Consumers are responding by threatening to boycott stores which disable Apple Pay, with more than 2,000 comments across several Reddit threads on the topic. Android users are joining in, as disabling NFC also blocks alternative mobile payment services offered by higher-end Android handsets … As with CVS, Apple Pay initially worked in Rite Aid stores, indicating that the company has made a deliberate decision to switch off support....

The first season of Netflix’s Daredevil series set a new standard for what can be done with superheroes on the small screen. Eschewing the family-friendly mildness of ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the YA drama focus of CW’s DC universe series Arrow and The Flash, Daredevil instead brought a new level of grittiness and adult themes that would carry over into its sister series, Jessica Jones. With season 2, the stakes for Matt Murdock are being raised with the addition of two new fan-favorite characters to the mix: The Punisher and Elektra....

WARNING: Spoilers for X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Extensive reshoots appear to have completely changed X-Men: Dark Phoenix, especially in the film’s second and third acts. Principal photography for the last Fox X-Men film began on June 28, 2017, and was relatively muted by modern standards; it was barely celebrated on social media, and there were no major set visits by the press. It wrapped up after three-and-a-half months, finishing on October 14....

Black Lightning made headlines in the Arrowverse this summer when it was revealed that the Cress Williams drama was participating in Crisis on Infinite Earths, but now Williams has revealed that the announcement was accidentally leaked – by him. Major announcements related to the upcoming Arrowverse crossover are usually closely controlled by Warner Bros. TV, with spoilers rarely leaking out. Since Black Lightning went from Fox to The CW in 2017, the series has played a growing role in the network’s DC TV line-up....

Cyberpunk 2077 publicly received one of its biggest shows of support on Reddit recently when Cyberpunk 2020 creator Mike Pondsmith defended the game from critics upset over perceived issues with racism. Cyberpunk 2077 remains one of the most important releases in the next two years, with developer CD Projekt Red attempting to follow up what many believe to be one of the greatest RPG titles ever made in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt....

Avast did not identify the federal agency affected, but The Record was able to determine it was the USCIRF. Eric Goldstein, CISA’s Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity, told ZDNet that they are aware of a potential cyber incident at USCIRF. “We are working closely with the agency to provide resources and ensure adoption of appropriate mitigation measures. As in all such cases, we worked quickly to share actionable information regarding this potential incident,” Goldstein said....

After six months on Nintendo Switch, stylized mech shooter Daemon X Machina is dropping its Switch exclusivity to come to Steam. This isn’t exactly a major blow to original publisher Nintendo since the game only sold decently after a lukewarm marketing push, but it’s exciting that PC players will get to experience the game for the first time very soon. Marvelous’ Daemon X Machina is an above-average third-person mech game with fast-paced combat reminiscent of early Armored Core entries, an anime-inspired art style with a lot of heart, and a tropey story that players on any platform are better off forgetting....

Knives Out explores class, family, and murder mysteries on November 27, culminating in a charming whodunit with thus far glowing reviews. Daniel Craig stars as Detective Benoit Blanc, brought in to solve the murder of the Thrombey family patriarch, while Jamie Lee Curtis plays Thrombey’s icy daughter Linda. The two actors sat down with Screen Rant to discuss some of the dynamics, accents, and political allegories at play in Rian Johnson’s latest film....

What should we expect from Daredevil season 4? The third season of Daredevil has now released on Netflix, and it’s getting rave reviews from fans and critics alike. It’s the culmination of the battle between Matt Murdock and the Kingpin, bringing an end to character arcs that have been building up since 2015. The relationship between Marvel and Netflix does seem to be souring a little of late; the recent cancellation of Luke Cage is reportedly due to a disagreement between the two companies, who were unable to agree on the scripts, the show’s overall direction, or even the number of episodes....

In this article, we will look at a couple of ways in which different kinds of backdoors can be introduced onto a server via a SQL injection vulnerability. We are going to take an application that I have which is already vulnerable to SQL injection and I’m going to use an existing vulnerability to introduce a backdoor to the system. What is SQL injection? There are already well over 1 million articles about what SQL injection is and how it can be discovered and mitigated, so I won’t repeat that here....

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for “Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3”. The third chapter of the Arrowverse crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths saw Green Arrow taking on the role of another DC Comics’ hero. In order to save the multiverse, Oliver Queen would once again become someone else. He would become something else; the divine Spirit of Vengeance known as The Spectre. When Oliver Queen died a hero’s death in “Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 1”, holding off the forces of the Anti-Monitor in order to allow more people to escape from the doomed Earth-38, it was assumed that would be the end of his story....
