There are two things you should watch this weekend, and only one of them is playing in theaters. Spider-Man: Far From Home launched earlier this week to take advantage of the longer Independence Day weekend, and it’ll easily win the box office. It’s the final MCU film of the year, and the last title in Phase 3 — make sure you stay for the mind-blowing post-credits scenes.

At home, you can watch the third Stranger Things season that also launched earlier this week — and there’s an exciting post-credits scene after the eighth episode. As for new trailers, meanwhile, we have a few for you.

The Marvel movies are some of the most successful Hollywood blockbusters of all time. Sure, Avengers: Endgame can’t seem to beat Avatar for the all-time crown, but hey, you’d be hard-pressed to find another collection of properties capable of pulling in numbers like the Avengers and its associated origin stories.

But why are they so popular? Is it just the big-name stars that pack the cast, or is there a pattern at work that we just can’t see? That’s what researchers from the ARC Center of Excellence For Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers (ACEMS) wanted to find out.

Uber is regarded as one of the best and most convenient options — sometimes even the only option — for travelers who find themselves abroad and need to hail a ride. Maybe you even use it from time to time when you’re at home as well. If you’re like most people, odds are you’ve just saved your credit card information into the app without thinking too much about it. You may only have one card — or just one card that you use for this kind of purchase. What you may not be aware of is that with just a little bit of foresight, especially for those of you with lots of different plastic options tucked away in your wallet, there are actually some specific credit cards you may want to consider using to ensure that you’re getting the most out of your Uber rides and that you’re maximizing the points you can earn for every ride you take.

Mozilla seems poised to jump into the paid news aggregation game soon, with the nonprofit behind the Firefox browser now teasing a $5-per-month subscription product that would offer ad-free news while also undercutting by a few dollars the recently launched Apple News+. The latter being a still relatively new subscription product from the iPhone maker which, if you believe the latest string of reports, hasn’t exactly gotten off to a rousing start, with publishers anonymously complaining about the service not delivering much in the way of revenue yet.

It seems the Trump administration has finally explained the rationale for its actions against Huawei that culminated in a sweeping ban of US companies doing business with the Chinese consumer electronics giant. A ban that also led to a series of newsworthy consequences, including FedEx making headlines several times for its confusion over how to handle Huawei-related packages, Huawei acknowledging that its phone sales this year will be off by millions and Google moving to cut off Huawei from Android updates, forcing the Chinese company to ratchet up plans to make a mobile operating system of its own.

Even though the vast majority of Facebook’s 2.38 billion users are seemingly impervious or apathetic to many of the company’s many controversies, the social networking giant remains a popular target for scorn from the tech elite. Most recently, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger blasted Facebook and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for a wide array of reasons. The gist of Sanger’s argument is nothing new, namely that the company abuses its power and that Facebook users are merely cogs in the corporate machine that is Facebook.

Xiaomi has been inadvertently generating a ton of press coverage for Apple in recent days, thanks to the Chinese brand’s new “Mimoji” avatars.

Reasons why that’s the case include: Xiaomi changed just one letter to differentiate its new Mimoji avatars from Apple’s Memoji feature. Tons of tech writers then dutifully wrote that Xiaomi was copying Apple yet again, part of a pattern at the company which even The New York Times once described in a headline as “an empire built by aping Apple.” Xiaomi took issue with the word “copy,” however, releasing a statement in China seeming to threaten writers over recent coverage of the new Mimoji.

Thanks to the ongoing popularity of the Model S, Tesla has handily dominated the EV luxury sedan market for years. Of course, the mainstream success enjoyed by the Model S quickly prompted more traditional automakers to shift their product roadmaps and throw more and more resources at EV development.

Looking ahead, Tesla is poised to face some of its stiffest competition yet as compelling new vehicles from the likes of Porsche and Volvo look to give the Model S a run for its money. Porsche, of course, is planning to roll out its highly-anticipated Taycan later this year. And Volvo, meanwhile, is planning to begin mass production on its all-electric Polestar 2 sometime in early 2020.
