Coming down with a cold is a major pain, and sometimes it’s impossible to know when or where you even got it. That’s the nature of airborne sickness, and the common cold is just one of many that make life difficult for individuals unlucky enough to become infected simply by breathing and moving around.

Now, a new study examining the potential of a special gas to eliminate airborne viruses and bacteria is showing some serious promise, and it could curb major public health problems if utilized correctly.

Amazon’s new Alexa voice remote is great, but not everyone likes to use their voice to control their TV. Honestly, I can be included in that group — when you’re sitting watching something with a bunch of family or friends in the room, barking commands to Alexa just feels awkward and unnecessary. If you want another option for easy input plus the ability to control your TV features without having to use a second remote, the iPazzPort Mini Bluetooth Keyboard with Backlit Keyboard and Universal Remote is just what the doctor ordered.

‘Game of Thrones’ cinematographer says the Battle of Winterfell looked so dark on purpose

Fabian Wagner understands you were probably frantically trying to adjust your TV settings during Sunday night’s Game of Thrones episode depicting the harrowing Battle of Winterfell. He’s heard all of the criticism by now, that it looked way too dark, grainy at times, and a little hard to make sense of what you were seeing on the screen — almost like the broadcast was way too compressed. Maybe.

At any rate, Wagner insists that, no, the picture wasn’t off. “I know it wasn’t,” he defended in an interview with TMZ, “because I shot it.”

Earlier today, Facebook announced plans to roll out a complete redesign of its ever-popular website. While website overhauls are not uncommon, Facebook redesigns are particularly intriguing given how widely used the site is and how iconic the overall look and feel — dominated by blue tones — has become over the years.

As to what’s changing, Facebook said that the blue menu bar that has been part of the site since the very beginning will be replaced by a cleaner interface with a more minimalist sensibility.

Avengers: Endgame is finally out which means we know how the Infinity Saga ends. The film is wildly entertaining and it’s packed with tons of callbacks to many of the previous 21 Marvel films, which is something you already know if you’ve already seen it. It also features several controversial choices, which is something you should have expected given this is the fourth movie made by the same people who shocked audiences before.

I had several questions after seeing Endgame, as well as potential explanations for one of the film’s key plot points. And while I wasn’t expecting Marvel to address them just yet, the Russo brothers stepped up to deliver several official responses. Beware, however, that what follows will ruin Endgame for you if you haven’t seen it.

It’s not often that Facebook makes headlines for any of its achievements or advancements anymore, with new privacy concerns seemingly cropping up on a weekly basis, but its annual F8 developer conference is a great opportunity for the social media company to control the narrative — at least for a few days.

$%name Nintendo slipped a secret feature into its latest Switch update to speed up load times by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo rolled out system update version 8.0.0 for the Switch, which brought several new features to the console, including the ability to transfer save data between Switch consoles. That appeared to be the highlight of the update at the time, but in the days since the update arrived, some dedicated sleuths have discovered a hugely important addition that wasn’t actually listed in the official changelog.

According to users who looked under the hood of the latest update, Nintendo quietly made it possible for the Switch to overclock its CPU to 1.75GHz in some instances, thus enabling what they refer to as “boost mode.” This new feature has since been found to speed up load times on two of the most popular Switch games.
