Please, ‘Highlander’ Reboot, Don’t Waste Djimon Hounsou

0

Can Chad Stahelski’s new ‘Highlander’ movie do more than have Hounsou just be there, as so many movies have done before?
The upcoming Highlander movie continues to build out its cast: after recently nabbing Karen Gillan and Dave Bautista of Guardians of the Galaxy fame, we’ve got another Marvel alum in Djimon Hounsou.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Hounsou will play an immortal African warrior and presumably cross paths with either Henry Cavill’s Connor MacLeod or Bautista’s villainous Kurgen. We really don’t know much about this movie, save for director Chad Stahelski’s aim to expand upon the mythology from the previous films, which, great, whatever. That’s all well and good; I just don’t want this to be yet another movie that doesn’t entirely know what to do with Hounsou.
There are a lot of Hollywood actors the industry doesn’t entirely know what to do with, and Hounsou’s arguably somewhere high on the list. The two-time Oscar nominee has had several thankless roles over the past decade—here’s looking at you, A Quiet Place Part II—and even movies that try to give him more to work with, like the second Rebel Moon, miss the mark just because they’ve got so much going on. The good news is Hounsou’s pretty busy the next few years: beyond Highlander, which is due in 2026, he’s also starring in next year’s survival thriller Shiver and the upcoming The Monster and The Zealot. Hopefully at least one of those starts some kind of Hounsou comeback.

Your PayPal Account Is Under Attack If You See This Message

You have been warned— this is what you need to watch out for.
A new warning for PayPal users follows recent alerts for Amazon and Facebook users, as new attacks target account holders with messages masking malicious sign-ins. These messages appear to come directly from PayPal, and users need to beware.
Per MalwareBytes, this “highly sophisticated email scam is targeting PayPal users with the subject line of ‘Set up your account profile’.” Beware, because “it’s hard for the everyday user to tell if the email has been spoofed or not.”
Spoofing works by replacing a real “from” address with something the sender picks instead — in this case a PayPal email address. One of the reasons email is so vulnerable to attack is that simple tricks like this work — it’s an open architecture.
Change Your PayPal Password Now If It’s On This List
As ever, don’t worry about playing cyber detective to tell threats from real messages. You won’t receive account or security warnings from major tech companies with links to log into your account. As such, you san safely ignore and delete all such emails.
That warning goes further. Never sign into any account through a link you’ve been sent. The only exception is when you’ve requested a link — some sites use email links as a form of secondary verification and many password changes are done via links.

If you see any message relating to account activity, just log into the website or app the usual way and navigate to your account or account settings. If there’s an issue, you’ll see it there and can take action knowing it’s a legitimate interaction.
It is now ridiculously easy for attackers to mimic the look and feel or sign-in pages, with legitimate imagery. But there will steal your credentials when you enter them.
As MalwareBytes warns, “the layout of the email looks convincing enough, likely copied from an actual PayPal email,” but the content however is typical for a phishing email.»
That includes its urgency, the value of the transaction ($900) being too high to ignore, and the addressee field being wrong or generic.“’Dear Customer’ or ‘Dear User’, or none at all as in this example.» Most campaigns just have email addresses or phone numbers.

Davey Johnson, World Series champion Mets manager and Orioles All-Star, dies at 82

Johnson won two World Series playing for the Baltimore Orioles before he became the New York Mets manager.
Davey Johnson, a four-time MLB All-Star infielder who won two World Series titles with the Baltimore Orioles before managing the 1986 New York Mets to the championship, has died. He was 82.
The Mets’ longtime public relations official Jay Horwitz announced Johnson’s passing Saturday morning.
Horwitz said he got a call from Johnson’s wife, who revealed the news of his death.
«Last night around midnight I got a call that I had been dreading. When I saw Susan Johnson’s name appear, I knew that news would not be good», Horwitz wrote.
Johnson’s biographer Erik Sherman also reacted to his death on social media, writing, «When I last visited him in February, he was encountering serious physical maladies, yet still maintained a positive disposition, wonderful story-telling, and his trademark big grin.»
The Mets hired Johnson as a first-time manager in 1984, two years before the team’s memorable World Series win over the Boston Red Sox. New York let him go in 1990, but his 595-417 record remains the best of any manager in franchise history. He was inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame in 2010.
Johnson continued his managerial career after leaving New York. He led the Cincinnati Reds from 1993-1995, Orioles from 1996-1997, Los Angeles Dodgers from 1999-2000, and Washington Nationals from 2011-2013.
Prior to becoming a manager, Johnson spent eight seasons playing for the Orioles. He was a member of the 1966 and 1970 World Series-winning teams. Baltimore won four American League pennants with Johnson. Ironically, he made the last out of the 1969 series against the Miracle Mets, New York’s only other championship team.
Johnson also suited up for the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs in his playing career from 1965-1978.

大阪市・梶田茂生監督の主な談話は次の通り。大阪市・梶田茂生監督
(2本塁打の山田健太は)本大会に入って上り調子だった。最高の結果に表れた。勝つことで選手は自信が持てる。準決勝も大変な試合になる。まずは点を取らないといけない。
<山田を主軸で起用し続けている>
からよく打っていた。結果が付いてこなくて、ちょっとモヤモヤしていたと思う。(今日の本塁打は)体をたたんで、体の回転だけでそんなに強く振っていない。彼がやろうとしている打ち方ができたと思う。
基本は全然打てていなくても、ここ一番のところで変な当たりのヒットを打つ。やっぱり、選手の持っている部分が場面に応じて出てくる。
<山田選手の3年目の成長は>
「プロに行きたい」と思いながら、なかなかうまく結果が出なかった。今年から副主将をやってもらっている。違った環境に身を置くのも良いかなと思って提案したら「じゃあやってみます」っていうことだった。チームを動かすために、どんどん好きなように意見を言ってもらっている。
<勝ち上がってチームの変化は>
近畿2次予選の第1代表決定戦で、NTT西日本にタイブレークで敗れた経験が大きい。相手の粘りに、自分たちがのまれてしまったことを全員がかみ締めた。諦めない大切さを感じたと思う。
本大会で西濃運輸とのタイブレークに勝てた進歩が、すごく自信になっている。
<優勝まであと2勝>
普通に数えれば二つだけど……ここまでの3試合も、自分たちの試合だけではなく、楽に勝てる試合なんてほとんどなかった。ギリギリの攻防で粘りたい。
<勝ちきるために必要なことは>
今日みたいに、三振が多くなっても怖がらず、積極的にバットを振れるかどうか。(打者が)待ち始めたら、とてもじゃないけど無理だと思う。
投手は今やっている通りのことを準備して、各自の役割を果たしてほしい。

OnePlus Parts Ways With Hasselblad to Design Its Own Cameras

0

After ending its five-year partnership with Hasselblad, the smartphone brand is now testing its own imaging engine, the OnePlus DetailMax Engine.
Smartphone brand OnePlus is ending its five-year partnership with Swedish camera manufacturer Hasselblad, ahead of the planned release of the OnePlus 15 next year.
Since the 2021 release of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro flagship smartphones, Hasselblad has provided OnePlus (and its parent firm Oppo) with its digital imaging technology, which refines and improves the images taken on its smartphones’ cameras. Later OnePlus smartphones have attracted broadly positive reviews from critics for their images.
OnePlus says it is now working on and testing its own imaging engine, the OnePlus DetailMax Engine. It says the new engine will use the “full potential of computational imaging to present scenes as they truly are, without over-beautification or distortion.”
«Computational photography has evolved significantly. It’s no longer about creating artificial enhancements or showing you a ‘fake’ moon that never existed», said CEO Pete Lau in the announcement.Recommended by Our Editors
The CEO’s statement may well be a sly dig at Samsung, who were the target of online criticism in 2023 after allegations came to light that its smartphones were adding detail to users’ photos of the moon using AI. These rumours were later officially addressed by Samsung.
The smartphone manufacturer didn’t provide much detail on the reasons behind the split, praising Hasselblad’s “craft” and “trust,” and saying the “partnership has delivered on every promise.”
The switch could also lead to some visual changes when it comes to OnePlus’s design. Hasselblad’s «H» trademark appears on the back of all new OnePlus models, which could change now that the companies have split ways, The Verge notes. Meanwhile, OnePlus’s parent company, Chinese consumer tech firm Oppo, is taking its relationship with Hasselblad in a different direction, and renewed its partnership with the Swedish firm in July of this year.

New video reveals what angry Phillies fan yelled at father before demanding ball from young son in viral outburst

0

New video showed what an unhinged Phillies fan said to a father she berated to hand over a home run ball he had just given to his son.
New video showed what an enraged Phillies fan said to a father she berated to hand over a home run ball he had just given to his son.
The father corralled a home run ball that Harrison Bader hit into the left field stands during the Phillies-Marlins game Friday night at loanDepot park and then gave it to his son, Lincoln, a few seats away, before the two shared a heartwarming hug.
But the woman subsequently charged at the father, grabbed his shoulders and demanded the ball back, seemingly under the belief she was entitled to it since it was closer to her seat.
“That was mine. You took it from me,” she yelled at the father. “It was in my hands.”
It was not clear that the ball was ever actually in the woman’s hands, though.
And multiple fans raced to try and capture the ball — not just the woman.
Still, the father gave the ball to her before shooing her away back to her seat.
A Marlins representative later came to the section, apologized to Lincoln — who was celebrating his birthday — and gave him a “goodie bag” with various gifts.
“That was not OK,” the Marlins rep said to Lincoln. “So we brought you a cool little goodie bag. …I’m so sorry.”
After the game, Bader met up with Lincoln and gifted him a signed bat.
The incident quickly went viral on social media.
It comes amid a string of similar incidents at other sporting events.
At the U.S. Open last week, Polish millionaire Piotr Szczerek snatched an autographed hat that tennis star Kamil Majchrzak intended to give to a young boy.
Majchrzak later met up with the young boy and gave him a gift bag.
A Mets fan also went viral from grabbing a ball from an older fan at Citi Field.

New details emerge about the iPhone 17 Pro: Brighter display, longer battery life

0

More efficient displays and larger batteries for a longer battery life, claims a Chinese leaker who is said to be known for more detailed leaks about the iPhone.
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, expected to be anounced on Tuesday, could feature a more efficient display, improved thermal efficiency, and a larger battery. This is according to a report by a leaker who goes by Setsuna Digital on China-based Weibo. This leaker has made several reports in the past that have been accurate.
Setsuna Digital states that the iPhone 17 Pro will have a higher peak brightness and be able to maintain a higher brightness level for a longer period of time. Another recent report stated that the iPhone 17 Pro could use an anti-reflective coating on the cover glass and thus drastically reduce reflections, which would also deliver a better viewing experience.
Setsuna Digital also reports that the iPhone 17 Pro will offer a more stable gaming experience with fewer frame drops under constant load due to the A19 Pro chip. Also, both models will be equipped with larger batteries, with the 17 Pro Max’s battery exceeding the 5,000mAh mark, the highest battery capacity of any iPhone.
Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 lineup at its Awe Dropping event on Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT. Catch up on the latest reports about the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Mac, and iPhone 17 Air.
