Speaking to Den of Geek on a Zoom call ahead of the Fear the Walking Dead season 6 premiere, the show’s cast reflected on how the production changed in midst of the pandemic and how this new, real-world context might add a measure of profundity to the already social commentary-heavy show. “I drove home after shooting got shut down and I was like ‘Oh, I’ve been on a show about the apocalypse and this feels like the apocalypse,’” recalls Colby Minifie, who plays the show’s main antagonist, the authoritarian but enterprising Virginia....

For those who don’t know, Giacchino began his composing career in the video game industry where he quickly made a name for himself working on the soundtracks for various Disney games. However, it was his work on the PlayStation adaptation of The Lost World: Jurassic Park (one of the first console titles to feature an original live orchestral score) that really set him apart. The scope and complexity of those scores led to him composing the revolutionary soundtracks for the first Medal of Honor games, which soon caught the attention of J....

When people talk about great actors, they often mention versatility as a defining characteristic. However, not every actor needs to be a chameleon. Some of Hollywood’s most successful performers channel their inherent likability or tap into specific personality traits within themselves to find a character type that they can portray time and time again. Sometimes when an actor finds themselves portraying a similar role in every project they’re attached to, it can be seen as limiting, but in other cases this typecasting occurs because it constantly bears fruit....

This new version though, a seven part series for Sky, has updated Wyndham’s story and places a major focus on the differing relationships between parents and children (even when those children are aliens). Den of Geek sat down with Farr and episodes one and two director Alice Troughton to discuss attachment, body politics and that extraordinary birthing scene. What’s your relationship to the source material and what was the inspiration for doing a new adaptation?...

But the show is saving the worst for last. Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard’s most infuriating creation of all, Sebastian Milton, is about to make his TV debut in this week’s episode. And the prospect of collectively raised blood pressure might prove to be a good thing for the series as it heads to its 2022 finish line. Teo Rapp-Olsson has been unveiled as The Walking Dead’s on-screen rendition of Sebastian Milton, ending speculation about the character’s presence on the series—long expected as it may have been....

Vampirism can happen to anyone in Skyrim. As a matter of fact, some pursue it intentionally due to the powers it comes with. It has its pros which makes it interesting for specific quests. However, in addition to the abilities, the ‘issues’ a vampire faces during the daytime make it problematic for most daytime gameplay, enough for you to search for a cure. First, we will see what’s the deal with vampirism, how to become one, and finally, the cure....

Suppose you are working on a project and created some folders and files to work. And later decided that they are not necessary for the current project. But you didn’t remove them for some reason. What happens shortly? Nothing. It just becomes a big mess for you. So, the importance of organizing should be one of ours top skills. Here, we will make sure our GitHub account is clean by deleting the unused repositories from our accounts....

A rootkit is a sort of covert and deadly malware that hackers employ to take complete control of a computer or network. Using Rootkits, the attacker can easily manipulate and steal the data from the system. Rootkits may appear as a single piece of software, but they’re usually a set of tools that provide attackers unauthorized administrative access to the target system while actively concealing its presence. Once a rootkit has been placed in the system somehow, the attacker will have the ability to execute remote files and change the host machine’s system configuration....

Smartphone addiction is scary. The urge to wake up the screen every now and then to check updates takes a toll on the overall fitness, with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, reduced cognitive ability, and migraines just the tip of the iceberg. Ergo, it’s best to have some personal non-digital time where one lives normally. Do Not Disturb plays a vital role in those situations. And it’s not just for bedtime (I prefer flight mode for that); notifications can ruin most of your after-work hours, eating away significant chunks from your personal and family time....

As it turns out, the death of Flash was somewhat exaggerated. While it’s true that Adobe has ended their official support of the platform and that many websites are unable to run Flash Player and Flash-based programs as easily as they may have done in the past, there are several viable ways to continue to access various Flash-based games, Flash-based videos, and other content that relies on what will likely be remembered as a rough foundational element of the internet that was nonetheless vital to its growth....

Cloudflare is one of the popular CDN and security platform, powering millions of sites from small to enterprise. When you implement Cloudflare for your website, all the traffic is secured and accelerated. But this is true when a site is accessed using a domain name. How about if someone finds out the actual server IP (Origin) and misuse it? Finding server IP for the site behind Cloudflare doesn’t take much....

Ambient noise in recorded audio or video is unavoidable. You can not record every video or audio from a silent room. If you do, you will still discover a humming noise from your laptop, desktop, fan, air conditioning, etc. Instead of investing too much money and time in eliminating background noise, you can just eliminate the noise from the recorded audio. There has been much development in noise reduction algorithms....

How we work and do business will fundamentally change in a matter of months and stay with us thereafter. This is partly because the virus will never go away; it will merely be managed. A key component of managing the virus will be social distancing. Human beings are social creatures; we like the company of others and use physical cues to affirm each other. It’s what we know; it’s what we seek....

Foxes are loyal companions in Minecraft. Once tamed, they attack any mob that attacks you. However, they don’t follow you around; instead, a tamed fox will not flee from you. Yet, you can use a lead or sweet berries to keep them close or take them to your place. They are also one of the few Minecraft animals that can actually sleep. Being nocturnal, they sleep throughout the day and stay active during dark hours....

Like a certain feral X-Men antihero, Nick suffers from a lifetime of trauma and fractured memories that hurt more than help. But unlike Wolverine, no one would mistake Nick as a hero—not when his day job in a post-civil war future is to let folks get lost in their idealized memories. With new military technology that allows you to relive any moment in your life, Nick provides opium to the masses, and an escape from a world with no actual future as the waters continue to rise due to climate change....
