More than 330,000 ‘Game of Thrones’ fans sign petition begging HBO to remake season 8

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

With just one episode to go in its eighth and final season, many Game of Thrones fans at this point are so dissatisfied with the direction this season has taken — with the gripes mostly focused on the writing that’s now moved beyond the scope of George R.R. Martin’s source material — that more than a quarter of a million of those fans have taken a pretty dramatic step.

As of the early morning hours on Thursday, those fans had helped a Change.org petition begging HBO to remake Game of Thrones’ final season with new writers surpass its goal of 300,000 signatures.

The app that lets you play Steam games on your iPhone is finally available to download

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

Remember the Steam Link app that let you play Steam games on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV? Apple yanked it from the App Store about a year ago, citing “business conflicts.” The app allowed you to purchase games directly from Steam, bypassing Apple’s App Store altogether. We all know that’s a no-no in Apple’s universe, so it wasn’t exactly a surprise to see it pulled from the App Store. Apple said that the app wasn’t entirely dead a few days later, and it took quite a long time but it appears as though that’s the case. You may have waited a year to get it, but the app is finally here. Again.

This free app makes Netflix better in 5 key ways

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

The battle for streaming subscribers is really starting to heat up in 2019. There used to be a massive gap between Netflix and every other service out there, but that gap is slowly beginning to narrow. Now that Disney has acquired, well, pretty much everything, its upcoming Disney+ streaming service will likely become Netflix’s biggest threat the instant it launches later this year. The prospect of exclusive access to Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and the first-ever original shows created by Marvel Studios will be enough to rope in millions of people. On top of that, wildly popular shows like Friends are leaving Netflix as networks begin to launch their own streaming services. Will it be enough to pull people away from Netflix, or will they keep paying for access to all of Netflix’s critically acclaimed original content? Only time will tell. But in the meantime, Netflix continues to be the world’s top source of streaming entertainment and that won’t change anytime soon.

If you’re one of the millions upon millions of people out there who subscribe to Netflix, you undoubtedly love it. But there are also a few things about the Netflix site that almost certainly annoy you. Having access to all that great content is fantastic, but having to deal with a few very poor UI decisions on Netflix’s part is never fun. Luckily, there’s an extension that will fix five major pain points on the Netflix website. Better yet, it’s completely free to download and use.

The closer we get to the Galaxy Note 10 launch, the more leaks we’re bound to see. Some of them are more interesting, teasing potential design changes that we might not see coming, while others only tell us what the rumored launch colors of the upcoming Samsung flagship series should be. But smartphone makers have been trying to offer more and more options to buyers, Samsung included. The Korean giant usually launches its flagships in a few colors and then brings new options months after launch. With the Note 10, however, Samsung may have at least five colors at launch, according to two sources.
