The Last of the Starks, or episode 4 from the final season of Game of Thrones, was by far the worst episode in the entire history of the show, and now we have real data to support that claim. It received plenty of criticism not because of what it tried to do, but because of how it was all handled. It’s as if the showrunners and writers completely forgot everything that has made Game of Thrones great. The episode defied logic and common sense, brought Starbucks beverages to Westeros, and ignited debates about how it’s portraying women and dealing with race issues. No Game of Thrones episode is perfect, some will say, and that’s true. But I miss the days when my biggest concern with the Game of Thrones plot was explaining how the White Walkers crafted, transported and used those heavy chains to drag out Viserion out of the frozen water.

It’s the kind of episode that Septa Unella, may the Lord of Light rest her soul, should take out in the streets and shame as hordes of Game of Thrones fans get to voice their anger. As it turns out, that’s what IMDB is for. And with an average rating of 6.6 from more than 62,000 votes, the episode is sinking and ruining the entire season’s rating in the process.

Google’s I/O 2019 keynote brought us several major announcements from the company, most of which focused on exciting innovations on the software front. Google Assistant was one of the show’s highlights as Google found a way to reduce the size of the voice recognition software, and make it all happen on-device. The real-time on-device voice recognition demo on stage was easily one of the best things Google showed us. Google Assistant was able to deal with voice commands in rapid succession without missing a beat. But while we focused on the Assistant demo, we might have missed an incredible tidbit — Google may have used a product that’s not available to anyone right now during the demo. Is it a Pixel 4 prototype?

Earth orbits the Sun at a distance that allows both liquid water and water ice to exist on its surface in ample amounts. We like to think we’re pretty familiar with the various forms water can take, but new research suggests that water ice on Uranus and Neptune could take a bizarre new form that just doesn’t exist here on our home planet.

It’s called superionic ice, and while its existence on the distant planets in our system is still just a theory, researchers just successfully produced some of the “exotic” ice in a lab, with the help of some seriously powerful lasers.

Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame needed fewer than two weeks at the box office to break the $2 billion mark, with the launch weekend alone bringing in more than $1 billion in ticket sales. The highly anticipated Infinity War sequel is a fantastic finale to the entire Infinity Saga, while simultaneously creating a launching point for the next major story that Marvel will tell. The film seems destined to break Avatar’s record at the box office, as more and more people see the movie for the first time or rewatch it in theaters. At nearly three hours long, the movie is filled with plenty of action, and there are also some easter eggs that are so sneaky you might miss them the first time around. Unfortunately, it’ll be a long time before Endgame hits streaming services, but we have some even worse news: You won’t be able to stream it on any of the services you currently subscribe to.

Many of Apple’s policies are consumer friendly — surprisingly so, at times. But Apple is still in the business of making money, and there are some things the company does that are infuriating. Not supporting microSD memory cards is at the top of the list for sure, but Apple’s refusal so far to include a fast charger in the box with iPhones that support fast charging is a close second. That’s right, you can actually more than triple the speed at which your iPhone charges with the right hardware. First, you’ll need an 18W USB-C wall adapter since that’s the iPhone’s maximum charging rate, and we recommend the $14 iClever 18W USB C Power Delivery Charger. Then you’ll need a USB-C to Lightning cable, of course, and the Anker USB C to Lightning Cable costs $4 less than the one Apple sells.

iClever 18W USB C Power Delivery Charger

• Universal Power Delivery USB-C Port: It doesn’t matter if it’s a phone, a tablet, a power bank, or something in between–if it’s a USB-C device, the iClever 18w USB-C Compact Wall Charger can do it all at full speed. Just insert your USB-C cord
• Lightning-fast Charging: Bring your devices back to life in record time. This small but mighty adapter pumps 18W of power into your devices for quick, effortless charging. It’s ideal for high-powered devices like iPhone XS/XS Max/XR/X/8 Plus/8, Google Pixel 2/2 XL, a variety of Huawei models, and so much more
• Safe and Reliable: Worried about device damage? Don’t be! We’ve built in a variety of safeguards to protect your devices from harm. This USB-C PD charger prevents short circuits, over-current, over-voltage, overheating
• Compact and Travel Ready: There are few things more annoying than a dead phone in the middle of the day. The travel-friendly iClever wall plug will keep you
• What’s in My Order? Each order includes iClever 18W Wall Charger and a handy user manual. You’ll also get a 30-day money back guarantee, an 18 month replacement warranty, and a lifetime of friendly customer service

iClever 18W USB C Power Delivery Charger, Ultra-Compact Type-C Wall Charger with Foldable Plug,…: $13.99

Anker USB C to Lightning Cable

• Power Delivery: Use this cable with your USB-C Power Delivery charger (including Apple 18W 29W, 30W, 61W, or 87W USB-C Power Adapter) to charge your iOS device, and access fast-charging for iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X, XS, XR, XS Max, and later models.
• Charge and Sync: Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with Lightning connector to your USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) enabled Mac and iPad Pro to seamlessly sync & charge.
• Ultimate Durability: Lasts 12× longer than other cables and proven to withstand over 12000 bends in strict laboratory tests.
• MFi: MFi certification and strict quality testing ensure your Apple devices are charged safely, at their fastest possible speed..
• A Cable for Life: We’re so confident about Powerline II’s long-lasting performance that we gave it a hassle-free, lifetime warranty.

The Galaxy Fold could have been a huge disaster for Samsung, but the tech giant was smart enough to postpone the launch of its foldable handset after reviewers found a bunch of critical issues that broke the screen. Samsung delayed the phone’s release as it investigated the matter, and recently warned US buyers who pre-ordered the Fold that their orders might be canceled if the phone doesn’t ship by the end of May. But Samsung won’t cancel the device, a new report reveals, as it has fixed the issues and will soon announce a new release date.
