Harrison Ford’s MCU Debut Could Be Coming With a Promotion for ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross

Photo by Todd Wawrychuk/A.M.P.A.S. via Getty Images For a franchise that deals with an awful lot of internal and external politics in-canon, the president of the United States hasn’t really factored into the grand scheme of the Marvel Cinematic Universe all that often.

Best USB-C & Thunderbolt cables 2022: Which USB-C cable do you need?

When USB-C ports first started appearing on phones and laptops, we rejoiced because finally the days of trying to plug the cable in upside down were over. Unlike old-school USB-A or, worse, MicroUSB, the USB-C connector is reversible, so both ways are the right way. But there’s a problem. USB-C is merely the connector type, and not all USB cables are created equal. They differ wildly in charging and data-transfer speeds, which means some might not be able to charge your device and some might not transfer data to it.…

First, he uses an imprisoned Abomination (a former Soviet agent, no less!) to attack the Hulk, promising Abomination freedom if he kills his foe, in "Incredible Hulk" #159. This doesn't work out.  In "Incredible Hulk" #195,…

The next version of Thunderbolt is built for multi-monitor setups

Now that speedy ports are par for the course on computers, how is Intel going to make Thunderbolt more enticing? By courting enthusiasts who demand a wall of monitors, apparently. The company has previewed a next-generation Thunderbolt standard that will offer more bandwidth for multi-monitor setups and other "visually intensive usages." While the port will normally offer 80 gigabits per second of bandwidth like the USB 4 Version 2.0 spec it's built on, it auto-switches to a special mode with 120Gbps upstream and 40Gbps…
