Popular Samsung smartphones receive important free upgrade today after Google finds ‘critical’ Android threat

If you try to download more than three updates at a time, you’ll see a “Pending” status, 9to5Google reports. Google started allowing multiple full app downloads earlier this year; at the time, you were limited to just two downloads, but 9to5Google says that’s been bumped up to three.

Google Play now lets you download up to three app updates simultaneously.

When you create a new account online, you’ll have the option to sign up with Google, Facebook, or another service. As tempting as that is, you should probably avoid it and create an account based on your own email address or username instead. To explain why, let’s take a look at something called SSO.

The Borderlands movie, which released in theaters all of 21 days ago, is already available to watch at home through video on demand. This three-week turnaround could be indicative of the movie’s poor box office performance coupled with its poor critical reception. After seeing it for myself, I agree it’s not the best example of a video game movie. However, I also saw moments where the movie took its source material and remixed it into something entertaining. Whether you watch this movie in theaters, at home, or not at all, Borderlands deserves your respect.

I'd trade lackluster smartwatches for resurgent fitness trackers in a heartbeat. Based on the most recent additions to the Versa and Sense series, it’s perhaps obvious that Google was never interested in keeping Fitbit’s smartwatch lines alive. Despite this, the company has been reluctant to clarify its plans for them; that is, until now.

Google killed Fitbit smartwatches on purpose, and for good reason

Denver, CO

A reader asked the Denver Post why it hadn’t covered a grisly and salacious 2014 murder in Littleton, CO. It hadn’t, because the crime never happened. But there it is on YouTube and Spotify, accumulating millions of views with seemingly AI-generated voiceovers and faces. True crime fans say they reported the videos months ago after YouTube recommended them, but they aren’t being removed.

Carnival Cruise Line has issued a clear statement regarding an activity that is not allowed on cabin balconies.

But cruise lines have cameras that are constantly monitoring balconies for unsafe behavior and people going over board.

Netflix is about to look back at the history of WWE co-founder Vince McMahon with a six-episode series premiering September 25th. Just after Netflix signed a 10-year $5 billion dollar deal with WWE in January, McMahon was accused of sex trafficking and abuse and resigned as executive chairman of its parent company, TKO.

Netflix plans Mr. McMahon docuseries in late September.

The first season of Amazon’s The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power series was a spectacular piece of storytelling that took details from J.R.R. Tolkien’s appendices and forged them into an intricate exploration of Middle-earth’s history. Uneven pacing sometimes made the show seem like yet another fantasy slog borne out of Hollywood’s exhausting obsession with trying to will “the next Game of Thrones” into existence. But The Rings of Power’s visual splendor was nothing short of astonishing — especially for a streaming series — and each of its lead performances was a testament to how much more compelling classic fantasy characters could become when given the chance to exist beyond their canons.

The Rings of Power season 2 is an even stronger expansion of Tolkien’s mythos
