Some of your favorite ‘Stranger Things’ characters almost looked a lot different

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

“Jopper” is the affection fan-named pairing of old childhood flames Jim Hopper and Joyce Byers on Netflix’s Stranger Things, with the bestowing of that nickname a testament not only to how much fans adore the gruff sheriff and loving mom but also how perfectly matched the actors are who portray them.

So perfectly matched, in fact, that it’s almost impossible to see how the Duffer Brothers, who created the hit Netflix series, were considering Ewan McGregor and Sam Rockwell at one point for the role of Hopper. While Naomi Watts and Marissa Tomei were likewise possible considerations for the character of Ms. Byers.

Watch a man brazenly light a cigarette at gunpoint during an armed robbery

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If you think you’re cool under pressure, you’ve got absolutely nothing on a St. Louis man who — in a scene that could have easily been part of a Tarantino movie — calmly and brazenly lit a cigarette while the bar he was in was being robbed.

Not only that, our fearless hero refused to let the robber snatch his smartphone away. All the while, the robber was carrying around an assault weapon that was later revealed to be a Hi-Point Carbine. If that sounds familiar, the Hi-Point Carbine was one of the weapons used during the 1999 Columbine school shooting.

We catch up with the cast of ‘Carnival Row,’ Amazon’s new ‘Game of Thrones’-style fantasy

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In the opening scene of Amazon’s new Game of Thrones-style fantasy series Carnival Row — set in a kind of steampunk, alternate universe version of Victorian London that’s populated by humans as well as magical creatures — we see a persecuted group of fairies running for their lives. Shots ring out in a forest as the humans who populate the fictional city of The Burgue literally hunt them down, setting up a kind of Make The Burgue Great Again dynamic that casts a shadow over the storyline that we eventually come to learn also involves a serial killer preying on the fairies.

8 new trailers you need to watch: Star Wars, El Camino, Joker and more

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If your local cineplex is especially quite this week, it might be because there isn’t much to see. Sure, there are still a few holdovers from previous weeks, but not a single major blockbuster hit theaters this week.

Thankfully, the trailers almost made up for it this week. The highlight of the week was actually only half a new trailer, but that’s really all it takes when it’s Star Wars. We got a new glimpse of the upcoming trilogy conclusion, The Rise of Skywalker, from Disney’s D23 event early this week, and it was just enough to get us excited. But that was just the tip of the iceberg, as you’ll see when you scroll down to watch the rest of the trailers.

If you have AirPods, you probably love them. But you probably also wish that they had silicone tips so all the bass didn’t leak out of your ears while you listen. What you might not realize, however, is that it only costs $11 to get the best of both worlds. Check out the DamonLight Anti-Slip Silicone Soft Sport Covers for Apple AirPods on Amazon. They’re silicone covers that slip over the tips of your AirPods so they fit more securely in your ears, and they’re so slim that you don’t even have to take them off to put your AirPods back in the charging case! Definitely check them out.

Here’s what Hurricane Dorian looks like from the International Space Station

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station don’t typically spend their days checking out weather back on Earth, but when a storm as large as Hurricane Dorian is rolling across the ocean you can’t help but catch a glimpse.

Hurricane Dorian is making its way to the United States, and it’s expected to make landfall sometime early next week. It’s on a path for Florida as we speak, and coastal residents are preparing for the worst, anticipating a state of emergency and widespread damage. From space, however, things seem a lot more serene.

‘Destiny 2’ will get a battle pass, because every game is ‘Fortnite’ now

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Countless changes are in store for Destiny 2 in the coming weeks, from the launch of the Shadowkeep expansion to the debut of Destiny 2: New Light, which will drop the price of the base game to free. But Bungie is also mixing up the game’s progression system substantially as well, giving players more tangible goals to reach for throughout each new season without having to depend on the right loot randomly dropping after a mission.

One way that Bungie will accomplish this is by adding a Fortnite-style battle pass (called a season pass in Destiny 2) which allows players to earn up to 100 ranks throughout the season, each of which comes with its own reward. There is a free track and a premium track each season, and if you want access to the premium track, you’ll have to pay $10. That $10 will also let you play all of the additional seasonal content Bungie brings to the game.

Report says Galaxy Fold might actually cost less than Samsung said it would

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The coming week is shaping up to be pretty eventful for Samsung, thanks to a few key product launches. The Galaxy Watch Active 2, for example, is rumored to be heading for a Sept. 6 launch in South Korea — on the same day that Samsung will reportedly launch, at last, its first foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold.

At this point, the rumor is that Samsung will take advantage of the first day of the IFA 2019 consumer electronics trade show in Berlin — which runs from Friday, Sept. 6, to Wednesday, Sept. 11 — as a high-profile opportunity to attract attention for the Galaxy Fold’s much-anticipated launch. The company has supposedly fixed the design and software problems that doomed the original April launch, and while it’s monumentally important to ensure those earlier problems are indeed fixed, the company may also have another trick up its sleeve.
