Fans of Nicolas Cage’s wonderfully understated, powerfully quiet performance in Pig have cause to celebrate today: its director, Michael Sarnoski, is currently in talks to direct another quiet movie—specifically, the third A Quiet Place film—after Midnight Special’s Jeff Nichols left the project back in November.
The horror icon said she initially lost about 11,000 social media followers after revealing her 19-year relationship with a woman.

The series has successfully showcased the best features of Windows in the current era and provided consumers with a genuine alternative to Apple’s class-leading industrial designs. However, if there is one area where Microsoft has stumbled with the Surface lineup, it’s with the repairability of these devices. … Continue reading
Humble Bundle hasn’t exactly won fans with donation caps and potentially confusing subscription tiers, but it’s hoping to make some amends. As of February 1st, the company’s monthly Humble Choice service is consolidating around a single $12 monthly plan that gives you permanent copies of every game offered in a given month. Humble noted the number of games might vary, but you can still skip a month if you don’t like the selection and want to remain a member.
You’ll also have access to more games so long as you’re subscribed. A new Humble Games Collection gives you access to a curated, expanding catalog of titles you can access only as a Choice member. The initial mix is limited to just five games (including the relatively well-known Void Bastards) available through the Humble app, but the company clearly hopes the promise of a PlayStation Plus- or Xbox Game Pass-style library will keep you paying even when the monthly Choice selections aren’t to your liking.
Choice has other modified perks. You’ll receive as much as a 20 percent discount on eligible games you buy in the Humble Store, but you’ll have to stay subscribed for at least a year. You’ll get that discount immediately if you’re subscribed by February. Five percent of your membership fee will be donated to charities.
This won’t thrill everyone. Classic subscribers who switch will lose their 20 percent discount the moment they skip a month, for instance. This could still be less confusing, though, and might be alluring if you want access to a host of indie games regardless of what the monthly catalog has to offer.
Say the name “Dave Grohl” and you think about rock. Nirvana. Foo Fighters. An all-time legend already and he’s still making music. Along his musical journey, Grohl has also more than dabbled in film, including directing one himself, the documentary Sound City, and appearing in movies such as Bill and Ted Face the Music
New research adds to evidence that exercise can improve cognition, especially later in life. The study found that older people who regularly exercised had greater levels of proteins crucial to their brain’s health, compared to those who didn’t exercise. These differences were apparent even in people whose brains…

Packed into the handheld device is enough computing power to put computers of past decades to shame. Just like any modern computer, over time an iPhone’s performance can be undermined by a variety of factors, not the least … Continue reading
As part of its ongoing efforts to stay on the right side of App Store rules, Tumblr is adding a Sensitive Content toggle to its iOS app. The setting is enabled by default, and it keeps posts with sensitive tags out of recommendations, blocks search results with sensitive tags and hides blogs “that are explicit in nature.”
Disabling the toggle will allow users to search for tags that might include posts of a sensitive nature and see recommendations that might include suggestive or sensitive content. Switching off the setting will also allow you to tap through an overlay on blogs that have been marked as explicit. However, you still won’t be able to view posts that have been flagged as explicit.
It’s not entirely clear how Tumblr defines “explicit” in this context (Engadget has asked for clarification). Tumblr banned porn and realistic depictions of human genitals in December 2018 after Apple temporarily removed the app from the App Store.
Tumblr says the sensitive content setting only applies to those using the latest version of the iOS app. For now, users will need visit their settings on the Tumblr website to disable the toggle. They’ll then be able to access sensitive content in the iOS app after they quit and relaunch it.
Last month, Tumblr blocked search terms and recommendations featuring potentially sensitive content on the iOS app to comply with App Store rules. The sensitive content toggle should make the platform a bit more open for iOS users, though still less so than on Android or the web.
“These latest updates provide more control to our community on the iOS app to build the experience that fits them best, and to explore the content that they find interesting,” Tumblr wrote in a blog post. “While the experience for our community is a top priority, we must also comply with Apple’s App Store guidelines and our own guidelines.”
