The plot hole that ruined ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ can easily be fixed
We learned recently that Spider-Man: Far From Home writers weren’t given access to the Avengers: Endgame script and I explained how that ruins the entire movie. That’s because Far From Home is part of something much bigger. It’s not a standalone movie, it’s part of a franchise, and that’s why what I said before really matters. It’s part of the MCU’s bigger narrative, so Sony and Marvel have to do better when it comes to managing their shared Spider-Man property. In what follows, I’ll address the huge Spider-Man 2 plot hole that ruins the movie because of how it relates to Endgame, but I’ll also explain how this continuity issue can be fixed.

10 cases to protect your new Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ are finally official, and they are awesome. They’re also insanely expensive, with prices starting at $950 and climbing to more than $1,300. These phones are good enough that they warrant the expense since they’re powerful enough that they can easily last for years. Of course, there’s no way your phone is going to last for years if you smash it.
You’re just plain crazy if you plan to buy a new Galaxy Note 10 series phone and not use a protective case.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 10 copied yet another great iPhone feature, and we almost missed it
After all those leaks and all those rumors, Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ are finally official. Company executives took the stage in New York City on Wednesday afternoon to take the wraps off of the latest and greatest Android phablets on the planet. The new Galaxy Note 10 series is easily the most impressive smartphone series Samsung has created so far, featuring a gorgeous all-screen design and bleeding-edge specs. These new Note phones are powerful, they’re sleek, and they improve upon everything that Samsung fans love so much about the Galaxy Note series.
Since almost everything there was to know about Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 10 series leaked far in advance of the official unveiling on Wednesday, there wasn’t much left to surprise us with when Samsung finally did take the stage at its Unpacked press conference in New York City. There was one thing that we uncovered after the show was over though, and while no one knew about this intriguing change ahead of Samsung’s event, the new feature really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise at all.

One of the best Google Maps features ever is finally live on Android and iPhone
Google regularly updates its navigation app with new features while testing other novelties with the help of beta releases, and Google Maps keep getting better as a result. But Google is also somewhat cluttering the app with features that might not necessarily need a home inside a navigation app. That’s because Google wants you to use Google Maps for almost everything you’d need during your travels. And that includes taking advantage of what is probably the coolest Google Maps feature yet, which finally just went live on both Android and iPhone.

Google’s Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL specs just leaked
The Pixel 4 marks an important milestone for Google. No longer is the company looking to stand by and witness all of the secrets surrounding its upcoming phones leak. Twice now, Google tried to get out ahead of the leaks, confirming the phone’s overall design as well as a few signature features. But that doesn’t mean leaks will stop now that Google is playing a more active role in trying to control the narrative. And a new report details some of the phone’s key specs, revealing in the process that the Pixel 4 might pack features that won’t be available on the iPhone 11, which is the only rival phone Google cares about.

Samsung deleted anti-Apple ads after ditching the headphone jack, which is so much more embarrassing than just leaving them
We told you several times that the Galaxy Note 10 would not feature a headphone jack, and the rumor turned out to be true. Samsung was a staunch supporter of the headphone jack, using it as a marketing trick to lure in customers who didn’t like Apple’s decision to remove the jack from its iPhones. Of course, every other notable company in the business copied the move, including Google, OnePlus, Huawei, and many others. It took longer than I had anticipated, but it finally happened. Samsung can no longer stand by the 3.5mm port, dropping it from the Note 10 phone nearly three years after Apple did it on the iPhone 7. And there’s no better time to revisit a Samsung TV commercial that the company really hopes we’ve all forgotten.
