Spider-Man writers weren’t allowed to see Endgame’s script, and that’s what ruined ‘Far From Home’

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

Spider-Man: Far From Home has been out for a month now. The final installment of the Infinity Saga concludes Marvel’s third MCU phase, while simultaneously teasing what may be in the works for MCU Phase 4. The film is entertaining and delivers plenty of epic Spider-Man scenes and action sequences that fans of Spider-Man will adore. It also does a great job of helping audiences move past the tragic end of Avengers: Endgame, and leave that emotional rollercoaster behind. However, all those post-Endgame feelings do bubble up and burst when it comes to Peter Parker.

We see the teenage superhero evolve well beyond his role of friendly neighborhood Spider-Man to something a lot more important. And yes, the film does explore the bigger picture of Endgame’s aftermath, giving us a brief glimpse of what the future looks like in 2023. But make no mistake, as light-hearted and fun as Far From Home is supposed to be, it does have a few huge plot holes when you take a step back to look at that bigger picture. And it turns out it might be all Marvel’s fault for not sharing the Endgame script with the Spider-Man 2 writers. If you haven’t yet seen it, beware because some major Far From Home spoilers follow below.

Samsung just unveiled its next answer to the Apple Watch

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

The Galaxy Watch Active 2 smartwatch that Samsung unveiled on Monday looks a lot more like an Apple Watch successor than the sequel of the first-gen Active watch that debuted earlier this year. Seriously, it might as well be a round Apple Watch. But the new device starts at $279 for the cheapest option and is obviously compatible with Android phones as opposed to the Apple Watch, and it’s supposed to be even more sophisticated and appealing than its predecessor.

Leaker explains why one key Galaxy Note 10 feature might be disappointing

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

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note 10 later this week, a phone that will come in two sizes and will feature Samsung’s latest multi-lens camera system. There’s a triple-lens shooter on the small Galaxy Note 10, while the Note 10+ gets an additional Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor that captures depth data. Does that mean the Note 10 has a chance of becoming the best camera phone of the year?

The Note 10 is going to be followed by Apple’s iPhone 11 flagships, which will deliver triple-cam systems of their own. Google, meanwhile, has confirmed the Pixel 4 will have a two-lens camera system on the back, which should be backed up by new software-based photo technology. The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is also supposed to launch in October, just like the Pixel 4, but Huawei’s phone will have three cameras on the back and will feature better sensors than ever.

This radical smartphone design has a brilliant way to extend battery life

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

Xiaomi is accused all the time of cribbing some of its innovations from Apple, so much so that it seems practically baked into the DNA of the company. We’ve covered several indications of how that’s the case, but that’s also not to say this Chinese consumer electronics brand also doesn’t strike out on its own at times and display an intermittent innovative streak. The Xiaomi Mi 9 transparent smartphone is one example, and here’s another — according to newly discovered patent documentation, Xiaomi has come up with a design for an eco-friendly smartphone that uses a solar panel to charge itself.

Moreover, the company isn’t calling it the ePhone. Like we said, it doesn’t copy Apple on everything.
