The Federal Trade Commission has announced today that it has started sending $1.7 million in refunds to customers who fell victim to a tech support scheme. According to the FTC, the perpetrators of the scam tricked people by claiming to be representatives of large tech companies such as Apple. In a press release this afternoon, the FTC explained that it will provide 57,960 refunds averaging about $30 each to victims of the scheme....

The sixth season of Game of Thrones is almost here, and it looks like this one is going to be absolutely incredible! The series may not have much longer on screen (it’s planned to end somewhere between a seventh and tenth season), which means that we should see things start to build to a final resolution. One of the biggest things that fans are looking forward to seeing is Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and her possible return to Westeros....

Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has revealed that she’s already shot Daenerys Targaryen’s final on-screen moments, and apparently the experience was very intense. Unfortunately, Game of Thrones fans aching to find out how the series ends still have a long winter of waiting ahead of them. Season 8 won’t be along until 2019, as production continues on the sure to be epic final six episodes. Season 7 already feels like it happened long ago, but for those who recall, the finale ended with everyone’s favorite Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen finally hooking up with Jon Snow - who unfortunately was also revealed to be Dany’s own nephew (confirming an ages-old fan theory)....

[This is a review of Game of Thrones season 6, episode 2 ‘Home.’ There will be SPOILERS.] - Jon Snow has come back from the dead. That’s not exactly a surprise for anyone who’s been watching the series or, more likely, has been watching the Internet go into speculative meltdown since men of the Night’s Watch loyal to Alliser Thorne stabbed their Lord Commander. Even before it had happened, though, Jon’s resurrection was really more of an inevitability, a fixed point in the overarching narrative that had to happen once he’d fallen, given his significance has all but been assured by the deaths of anyone who could have ascended to a similar station....

Out of all the Friends, no one expected Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) to have the kindest of souls. The Italian actor may have started as a shallow womanizer, but fans grew to love how he became his friends’ number one fan. However, sometimes the gang didn’t feel like sharing the same courtesy with Joey. Where Joey has proven his loyalty to his friends, there have been many times where the gang has betrayed him to fuel their self-interests....

Not only does Euron Greyjoy actor Pilou Asbæk not understand the fan backlash to the Game of Thrones ending, but he thinks it was “perfect.” A portion of fans were very vocal about their disappointment over how Game of Thrones concluded, which saw Daenerys finally becoming the mad queen, Jon Snow murdering her for her sins, and Bran Stark ending up taking the title of King of Westeros. The common consensus is that the show felt rushed towards the end, losing the earned character development and nuance it presented so masterfully in earlier seasons....

Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) is the spoiled fashionista of the group that grows up the most over the course of Friends, learning to be independent from her wealthy parents and create her own successes. While she did well in many aspects of her life, Rachel’s relationships on the show were some of the messiest. Ross is her most prominent relationship, even though they were on-and-off throughout the series. Joey would probably be remembered as her second most memorable relationship....

FuboTV, the popular live TV streaming platform, is rolling out a notable update to its Apple TV application today.

As Apple begins the two-year journey to dumping Intel processors via the M1 processor, a new report suggests that some future Intel CPUs might be made by Apple chipmaker TSMC. More precisely, it raises the possibility that Intel might ask, but the Taiwanese chipmaker might say no … CNET reports that the reason for Intel’s potential interest is TSMC’s technological lead over Intel thanks to its 5nm processes. But analyst Linley Gwennap thinks TSMC might not want the business....

Fans of Michael Bay’s Transformers movies (or the Transformers franchise in general) have a fifth official installment of the film series to look forward to in The Last Knight, but Hasbro already has bigger plans for the series involving a slew of spinoffs and a run of new franchise-starters comprised of their other popular brands like G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., Micronauts and ROM: Spaceknight. The ultimate goal here is to create a “Hasbro Cinematic Universe” to rival the sprawling multi-film continuities established by DC and Marvel....

Community Hub The modern store experience begins before the front doors. A tree-lined plaza with stone planters and wooden seating extends from the east side of the building toward a fountain anchoring the square. Outdoor spaces are becoming key design elements for Apple stores, as demonstrated by the newly-opened Apple Piazza Liberty in Milan, which features an amphitheater design. Step inside any of Apple’s over 100 locations featuring their latest store layout, and it’s immediately clear that while physical products are still important to the company – signature wooden tables still line the sales floor – the key focus is gathering space for Today at Apple sessions....

Bran Stark is one of the most important characters in the world of Westeros and Game of Thrones, and his character development is a major part of that. He goes through a ton of changes throughout the show, both in terms of his abilities and his personality. Starting out as just a young boy in the first episode, he goes through an incredibly difficult journey to become the person he ends up being in the finale....

King’s Landing was the capital city of the Seven Kingdoms in the popular HBO drama Game Of Thrones and met a fiery demise in the controversial final season. After her war with Cersei Lannister comes to a head, Daenerys Targaryen torches the city her ancestors built with her dragon, claiming the Iron Throne with fire and blood. King’s Landing is still standing in the books, though many fans have speculated that it will be destroyed by wildfire in the future....

March is upon us, meaning it’s time for Sony to unveil the list of free games PlayStation Plus subscribers have coming their way. One game offers a remastered take on a first-person shooter classic. The other is a celebrated modern puzzler. Subscribers have only a few days to download the February 2019 games before they get the boot. February’s batch brought Hitman: The Complete First Season and For Honor for PS4....

Video footage (below) shows French President Emmanuel Macron carefully positioning two iPhones on his desk for inclusion in his official portrait photo. They can be seen in the bottom-left corner of the photo … Macron has been photographed many times using an iPhone, and it’s believed both of them are his. It’s likely the deliberate inclusion in the photograph was intended to convey an image of a modern, tech-friendly president....

To promote the new Steam platform for Mac, Valve is allowing anyone with a steam account to “purchase” Portal free. That’s right, no trial, no expiration, no strings attached. Once you add Portal to your steam account, it’s yours, free, forever. Steam doesn’t care if you are using Windows or Mac, they just want to give you some free Portal action. The only catch (if you could call it one) is that you only have until May 24th to add it to your Steam account....

One of the most popular TV shows of all time is Friends. The characters, the stories, the setting, the relationships, and the moments that made fans laugh, cry, and laugh again have made this series a classic. One of the most iconic aspects of Friends is the fashion. From Chandler’s vests and Phoebe’s hippie looks, to Rachel’s many memorable skirts, dresses, and sweaters, there are several stand-out clothing items that appeared over the years....

At this point, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice has released so many teasers, TV spots, trailers, IMAX promos and Turkish Airlines advertisements that fans are likely to be shocked if there’s anything in the final film they haven’t already seen. And yet, even after all that footage, none seems to have become more iconic than the first “reveal” teaser from over a year ago; which depicted an armored Batman using the bat-signal to illuminate an angry-looking Man of Steel in the sky during a raging thunder storm....

The third episode of Game of Thrones eighth and final season, The Long Night, saw the Stark’s ancestral home at the brink of devastation. Winterfell is, in fact, the largest castle in the seven kingdoms, but it’s far from the easiest to defend out of the many castles that stand in Westeros. Perhaps if the combined forces of Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow were holed up in a different castle, it wouldn’t have taken quite the loss of life as we saw in the Battle of Winterfell to defeat the Night King and his army of undead....
