Downloads for the YouTube Music web app are finally rolling out

Downloading music is more of a necessity on the YouTube Music mobile app than it is on the web app. Be that as it may, YouTube has been working on rolling out downloads for the YouTube Music web app. After we got a bit of a leak last week, it appears that the feature is now starting to make its way to users. The issue with rolling out downloads for the web app is the fact that it’s a bit tough to download files that are accessible to your web browser. Not only that, but people are more likely to be out and about with…

Will There Be a ‘Madame Web 2?’

Sony’s Spider-Man property, Madame Web, may not have lived up to the hype, but it has given us a gift nonetheless. Reactions from critics and fans alike have been universally united in one fact: Madame Web is not a good movie. Never has there been an audience — particularly a comic book one — so aligned in their opinions about the odd film. Dakota Johnson stars as Cassandra Webb, a first responder who develops precognitive abilities after a near-death experience. This portrayal is vastly different from the comics. Madame…

After promising that its software would shield internet users from third-party tracking, Avast allegedly harvested and sold customers' online browsing data, according to the Federal Trade Commission. The maker of antivirus software deceived customers by claiming it would protect their privacy, while not making clear it would collect and sell their "detailed, re-identifiable browsing data," the agency announced Thursday."Avast promised users that its products would protect the privacy of their browsing data but delivered…

Bob Marley: One Love Holds Strong At The Weekend Box Office As Madame Web Continues To Flop

Reinaldo Marcus Green's Bob Marley: One Love earned a lot of the titular emotion during its first weekend in release. Critics weren't exactly blown away by the biopic pre-release, but multiple metrics demonstrated that movie-goers were enjoying the story and the message that the film features. Those same metrics suggested that the feature would have a strong second weekend in terms of ticket sales, and that has panned out as the early numbers are coming in.Once again, Bob Marley: One Love is the biggest movie in theaters…

Madame Web’s Spider-Women all have utterly bonkers backstories

Madame Web’s poor initial performance at the box office suggests that few people want to see it in a theater, let alone talk about it sight unseen. But there’s one aspect of it we should talk about anyway, because it’s so wild. Madame Web is a rarity in modern superhero cinema: a movie your friends might think you were making up if you described it to them without embellishment. Ironically, this makes it entirely faithful to the era of comic books it’s adapting. Not only does the comic book version of protagonist…

Are ‘Madame Web’ And ‘A Goofy Movie’ the Same Film?

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Madame Web… Oh come on, like you care. Madame Web is A Goofy Movie. Yes, those italics are deliberate. Every single person who has seen Sony’s Spidey-less Spider-Man spin-off in theaters (which, going by its abysmal box office, isn’t that many) can agree that it’s a goofy movie. Whether that’s why it’s one of the worst films of all time or destined to become a camp cult classic is up to you. What we didn’t realize until now, however, is that it is practically copyright…

Chrome’s New Right-Click for AI Tool Will Fill the Web With Robot Writing

Google just launched a new AI Google Chrome feature that lets users right-click in any text box and fill it with words from a chatbot. It’s called “Help Me Write,” and while it might sound small, it could have a profound and permanent effect on the internet. Until this point, it took a couple of steps to spin up some AI writing, but now the process is effortless. The floodgates are open. Starting today, every place on the internet where users can type will start to fill up with the words of artificial intelligence.No…

Yes, Marvel’s Madame Web is a ‘schlocky, janky’ disaster – but Dakota Johnson’s press tour is a joy | Film

To call Madame Web’s release a disaster would be a wild understatement. Not since Cats has a movie inspired such a combination of terrible reviews (the Guardian has variously described it as “dumb and schlocky”, an “unholy mess” and a “janky rip-off made by people afraid of legal action”) and consumer apathy.The miserable box office performance – by some distance, it has the lowest-grossing opening weekend of any Spidey-adjacent movie made this century – has killed off a potential franchise at birth. It has damaged the…
