For more on that, check out our article: How to Turn Off Predictive Text On your iPhone or iPad. With the introduction of iOS 8, Apple added support for third-party keyboards, a luxury that Android users have enjoyed for years.

Goliath S Season 2 Finale Sometimes The Bad Guys Win

Goliath season 1 revolved around Billy becoming involved in a case against his old firm and eventually emerging victorious by the end of the series. The show received great reviews for being a legal drama that injected a little freshness into the well-travelled subgenre, and for Thorton’s lead performance. Billy may have scored a hard-won victory, but the first season was still a dark ride, and season 2 would dial that up a few notches....

Google Fights To Have Iphone Privacy Case Dismissed From Uk Courts

Google, which was fined $22.5M by the FTC for illegal use of tracking cookies on iPhones even when the user had set Safari to reject them, is asking the UK’s High Court to reject a claim for compensation from a group of British iPhone owners, reports The Guardian. Google is arguing that any case should be held in the U.S., and that UK courts have no jurisdiction in the matter. It also observes that a similar claim in the USA was dismissed two months ago....

Gemini Man 6 Best 4 Worst Times An Actor Played Two Characters

When it comes to creating a critically or financially successful movie, filmmakers and actors alike will often employ a variety of different gimmicks to differentiate their particular work from the rest of the pack. And one somewhat common way of trying to make a movie more unique and appealing is to employ one actor to play more than one role in a particular film. But of course, this is a gag that can either work out very well or very poorly, depending on the actor and movie....

Ghost In The Shell Whitewashing Controversy Explained

[Spoilers for Ghost in the Shell (2017)] - Ghost in the Shell’s journey to the big screen has been dominated by accusations of whitewashing. Rupert Sanders’ live-action adaptation of the classic manga (which is also an in-part remake of the 1995 animation) was always going to be contentious for its inevitable westernization of a wholly Japanese story, but when Scarlett Johansson was cast as the series’ central icon, Major, the project seemed marked....

Gimp Vs Photoshop Which Is Best

These days, however, no self-respecting influencer would ever upload a photo to social media without touching it up to remove blemishes or add filters. More and more have-a-go photographers are out there, ready to show off their skills. That’s where Photoshop comes in, a product so well known that it’s even become a verb in its own right. “You just Photoshopped it” is almost as common as “I’ll Google it....

Google 2 Step Verification Prompts Can Now Be Received Via Gmail For Ios

Google replaced SMS as the default 2-Step Verification method last year with device-based Prompts. iOS users were instructed to install the Google app for two-factor authentication when logging in. To increase adoption, Google is now making 2SV available through the Gmail mobile app. Since sending security codes through text messages is vulnerable to spoofing, Google turned to 2-Step Verification via what it calls the “Google Prompt.” Upon signing in to a Google app or service, your phone will receive a notification asking you to confirm you are logging in or reject....

Google Nexus 5 Is Permanently Discontinued From The Play Store

We thought LG and Google stopped producing the Nexus 5 back in November of last year. And it did make sense, since the massive Nexus 6 was already out and Google would be just following its usual cycle of discounting a flagship Nexus device one year after it’s been launched. However, in the beginning of the previous month, we’ve seen the handset being relisted on the Google Play Store, featuring the same price....

As Google clears inventory to make room for the next generation of Nexus devices, it has dropped the price on the Nexus 4 by $100 in one day. Expected to be announced in September, the Nexus 5 is likely to blow its predecessor away in terms of performance and features seeing as its supposedly based on the LG G2, while simultaneously devaluing the 4 as well....
