Betty Draper is one of the most interesting characters in Mad Men. Despite the fact she doesn’t work and is always reliant upon her husband, that doesn’t mean she’s useless, as she is part of some of the shows greatest storylines, from both a comedic and emotional perspective. Even after her divorce with Don, Betty continues to be an integral part of the show, as she is a main character. However, despite her sweet nature and beautiful looks, she is often childish, petty, and argumentative....
The newest digital version of Magic: The Gathering, Magic Arena, launched on the Epic Game Store alongside its new Theros Beyond Death card set earlier today.

A new mechanical keyboard made for Mac has officially launched with what looks like some compelling features. The Keychron K1 is a slim mechanical wireless keyboard with a RGB backlit Mac key layout and it even includes a Siri button. Keychron saw success on Kickstarter getting its K1 slim mechanical keyboard to production a bit ago, and now the company has officially launched the new product. Even though it has a more blocky look and feel than Apple’s Magic Keyboard, the K1 is more slim and minimal that most mechanical keyboards on the market....
The multi-talented Marc Maron has a career that encompasses stand-up comedy, writing, podcasting, and acting – but how much is he worth? DC fans will soon see Marc Maron play booking agent Ted Marco in Todd Phillips’ hotly-anticipated Joker origin movie but he got his kickstart in the entertainment industry over 30 years ago. Like many comedians, he started out at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles before moving to New York City, and in the mid-1990s he unsuccessfully auditioned for Saturday Night Live but did manage to get gigs on Short Attention Span Theater and HBO Comedy Half-Hour....
Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story is a naked and intimate look at the small things that lead up to one big thing; divorce. It’s told from the perspective of each person in the marriage, Nicole and Charlie, who fell very fervently in love once but whose union has become like the ocean shore; consistently, relentlessly, and reliably beat against by every unfulfilled promise, every accusatory look, and every problem not communicated....
The secretive military facility Area 51 has inspired its fair share of pop culture, appearing in television shows like The X-Files, and movies like Independence Day. It even sparked a social media resurgence that failed to produce much of a Naruto Run (which is a good thing, considering it is patrolled by armed guards who are, well, armed). However, Area 51 hasn’t had such a presence in comics, and it’s not hard to see why....

Michael Shannon has developed a reputation over the decades as a consuming and forceful actor. Due to this intensity, he’s played multiple iconic villains, from General Zod in Man of Steel to Col. Richard Strickland in The Shape of Water. Shannon’s range is much more expansive and far-reaching than this, however, and he’s starred in countless films, television shows, and stage productions. Since making his debut in 1993’s Groundhog Day, Shannon has brought his unique brand of intensity to various genres, earning awards nominations and accolades along the way....
Windows 10 20H1 Build 18917 Download throttling. With the Delivery Optimization feature in Windows 10 you can set upload and download limits for Windows 10 updates. But Microsoft is improving the feature: “We’ve heard from our users with very low connection speeds that setting download throttling as a percentage of available bandwidth isn’t providing enough relief in reducing the impact on their network,” notes Microsoft.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max battery has been fantastic since the day I purchased it. Apple touts up to 80 hours of audio playback and 20 hours of video playback. Apple’s technical specs page says that it lasts up to five hours longer than the iPhone XS Max. With this increase in battery life, is a battery case still needed? I’ve been using the Mophie juice pack access for the past few weeks (which included my trip to JNUC 2019), so I wanted to share my thoughts....
The Punisher knows no limits. Even in his first-ever comics appearance, he tried to headshot Spider-Man. Since then, Frank Castle has gone on to become the most bloodthirsty vigilante in any comics universe. Unlike Batman and Captain America, The Punisher eschews moral restraint for full-blown violence. In Frank’s world, the ends always justify the means. That’s bad news for his victims. When he’s not unloading thousands of rounds of ammunition, he’s busy devising cruel ways of executing his enemies that would make Jason Voorhees blush....

You probably know the function well. Anytime you pop in a USB device or even a CD; a dialog comes up, and Windows asks how you want to do with the content. As far as security advice, you should have it turned off by default, even in recent versions of Windows to prevent malware from automatically executing on a PC. We’ve covered how to manage it in previous versions of Windows....
