A ‘Stranger Things’-style request from DARPA just freaked out the entire Internet

%name A ‘Stranger Things’ style request from DARPA just freaked out the entire Internet by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The plot of Stranger Things 3, the latest installment in Netflix’s hit original franchise, is centered in part around the myriad ramifications of the presence of an underground complex of tunnels and lab space built by Russians beneath Starcourt Mall in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. That warren of tunnels and space concealed soldiers and all manner of equipment meant to help open an interdimensional portal — the stuff sci-fi dreams are made of, right? In other words, definitely not the kind of thing you expect to see in real life.

The Boeing 737 Max saga isn’t even close to being over

%name The Boeing 737 Max saga isn’t even close to being over by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It’s now been nearly six months since airlines around the world were forced to ground any 737 Max commercial jets in their respective fleets. The decision came after a pair of horrific crashes claimed the lives of hundreds, and Boeing’s flight control software was implicated as a cause of both accidents.

Now, despite toiling away at the problem — and rolling out software updates to its aircraft — it would appear Boeing hasn’t done enough to make its new jets flight-worthy. As CNN reports, American Airlines just extended flight cancellations for Boeing 737 trips through December 3rd. highlighting the seriousness of the problems.

Avengers fans already have theories about how Marvel will fix the huge Spider-Man cliffhanger

%name Avengers fans already have theories about how Marvel will fix the huge Spider Man cliffhanger by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Sony and Disney confirmed a few days ago that the unthinkable has happened: Spider-Man will disappear from the MCU just as unexpectedly as he appeared. Sony believes it can make billion-dollar hits like Homecoming and Far From Home without the help of Marvel and the extended MCU. Sony, of course, is wrong and it apparently fails to completely understand what made these last two Spider-Man films so popular with fans. Marvel, on the other hand, built an amazing universe of characters and interconnected stories, and it initially did it all without being able to use one of its best heroes, Spider-Man.

While the two giants might reconcile in the future and bring Spider-Man back to the MCU, they both need to think of ways to deal with that massive cliffhanger at the end of Far From Home. And fans have already thought of solutions for Marvel to get out of its Spider-Man predicament.

%name Samsung opens Galaxy Fold pre registrations as new release date draws closer by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

We’re one step closer to the long-awaited, long-delayed launch of the Galaxy Fold, as pre-registrations for the phone have gone live on Samsung.com. These aren’t the same as preorders, so you can’t actually put any money down for the foldable device quite yet, but you can at least note your interest and join the waitlist.

Samsung announced back in July that the Galaxy Fold would finally be available in select markets in September, but failed to provide a release date. On September 2nd, we still don’t have a date, but the fact that pre-registrations have appeared on Samsung’s website suggests that more information is coming soon.

%name ‘Game of Thrones’ showrunners finally broke their silence and discussed the show’s worst season… sort of by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

After dropping what turned out to be the worst Game of Thrones season in the show’s storied history, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss went silent, choosing not to face any of the harsh criticism Game of Thrones received. It’s D&D that Game of Thrones fans hated most after season 8, which failed to deliver the great storytelling that was expected from the best show on television. HBO defended the show, of course, sticking with Benioff and Weiss while making sure it was clear to everyone that studio execs did not interfere creatively in season 8 whatsoever. The excellent cast of Thrones also went on record to explain their thoughts after the polarizing finale, with some choosing to mildly criticize D&D and others sticking by the showrunners. But Benioff and Weiss were missing in action through all of this, even deciding to cancel their planned appearance at Comic-Con a few weeks ago. Now that more time has passed, D&D have finally started talking about season 8, giving you a nice reminder of why you hated them.
