Through additive processes, a 3D printer adds successive layers of material to compose the final shape under the control of a computer. This means that these industrial robots could be used to create customized objects on demand. These technological jewels could be used practically in any industry. It is necessary to have only a digital representation of the object that must be realized to build it. The reduction of the cost of 3D printers is extending their diffusion also within home users and hobbyists that could design and make new devices with a limited budget in a short time....

After Apple and Google have come under fire for using humans to review recordings of users captured by their voice assistants, a report today from Bloomberg highlights that Facebook was doing the same until roughly a week ago. Facebook was using “hundreds of outside contractors” to transcribe audio clips from users of its Messenger app. Facebook’s contractors for this job were tasked with validating whether its app was interpreting voice messages accurately, with the clips apparently being anonymized....

The thing about social media is that it keeps going. It’s like going to gym – unrewarding and the gains stop if you don’t keep it up. Luckily, I’ve got some ideas that aren’t too bad – for social media, not the gym. Also you should totally go to the gym because it’s good for your mental health and self-esteem. And muscles. Strangely Specific Empowerment Post ‘I don’t know who needs to hear this…’ posts crack me up....

Though Disney has had a long history of successful movies, no period was quite as prosperous for the animation studio as the Disney Renaissance, which took place between 1989 to 1999. Under the control of Walt Disney in the 1930s, ’40s, and ‘50, Walt Disney Pictures created many groundbreaking films including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book. However, after the passing of Walt and his brother Roy Disney in 1966 and 1971 respectively, the animation department at Disney began to go downhill....

Scream 4 was all about remakes, social media, and internet fame, and like the previous entries in the saga, it referenced other horror films – only this time they were titles that have been remade. Wes Craven’s Scream saga began in 1996 and came to an end in 2011 with Scream 4. All films followed a series of murders in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California (although the third also took place in Los Angeles), all connecting to Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell)....

Alien/Predator Disney has always had a reputation for being child-friendly. As a result, fans of the troubled Alien franchise are concerned about what the deal would mean for the Xenomorphs. Dig a little deeper though, and it may not mean the end of the sci-fi horror Alien and Predator franchises. Disney has always allowed subsidiaries like Miramax and Touchstone to make more mature offerings; in fact, Kill Bill was a Miramax film....

UPDATE: Deadline has amended their report to indicate Ewan McGregor is still in talks to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi for a Star Wars TV show at Disney+. Ewan McGregor is returning to Star Wars in an Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show that will be exclusively available on Disney’s streaming service, Disney+. The disappointing box office performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story forced Lucasfilm onto something of a course correction, and as a result, they put their Star Wars spinoffs on hold....

Director Rob Zombie is back with horror icon Sid Haig in 3 From Hell, and Screen Rant has an exclusive clip to share with fans of uncomfortably brutal terror. When he transitioned from making rock and roll music to making movies, Zombie truly put the visceral “grind” back into grindhouse cinema. From House of 1000 Corpses to his Halloween remakes, Zombie’s films have always pushed boundaries with shocking violence, provocative themes, and dangerously sympathetic characterization....

Facebook Safety Check Apparently the idea for this came from a disaster message board that Facebook engineers created in after the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan in 2011. According to Facebook, once you activate Safety Check: “We’ll determine your location by looking at the city you have listed in your profile, your last location if you’ve opted in to the Nearby Friends product, and the city where you are using the internet....

Charlie Brooker has made a lot of people scared of their phones with his spooky anthology series Black Mirror. Each episode showcases the dark side of technology – or neutral technology, but in the hands of the dark side of humanity. The show has enjoyed four seasons, a Christmas special, and a choose-your-own-adventure movie. As with any show – especially one as ambitious as this – there have been ups and downs along the way....

The fourth season of this hit TNT show came to a close this year, and it definitely left us on the edge of our seats. Animal Kingdom follows our favorite crime family as they complete complex and high-stake robberies, while also dealing with the authorities and some tense infighting. With so much drama and action happening in this show, it might be hard to keep track of all of the badass jobs they’ve pulled off over the course of the show’s run....

One of the most successful video game franchises in history is easily Call of Duty. The first-person shooter has spinoffs and trilogies, and all of the games have been financially successful, although the entertainment value and quality of the games vary slightly. With that said, the fact that Call of Duty still sells countless games every time a new one is released speaks volumes about the consistent nature of the games....

Last Updated: March 24, 2021 Last year, Ben Affleck starred in The Last Thing He Wanted and The Way Back, but he has plenty more movies lined up over the next couple of years and beyond. This year finally saw the release of Zak Snyder’s Justice League, which saw Affleck play the Dark Knight. The actor-director has reached a new chapter in his life after leaving The Batman behind and currently has several movie projects in the works, including a return to the DC Extended Universe in 2022....

The biggest change is the all-new edge-to-edge display. Apple has been rumored to be working on ~15% bigger displays for both sizes of Apple Watch — that rumor has been confirmed in the images we’ve discovered. As expected, Apple has achieved this by dramatically reducing the bezel size around the watch display. In addition to taking the display edge-to-edge, we’re also looking at a brand new watch face capable of showing way more information than the current faces offered....

One of the questions asked in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal was whether Facebook was selling user data. CEO Mark Zuckerberg told a Congressional hearing that the answer was very simple. But it appears that while the company has never done it, it did consider effectively doing so … The WSJ has seen internal emails which reveal the discussions, which occurred at a time when the company was reducing the amount of data apps could access....

Facebook is one of the biggest social media platforms, and we all have used it. Some of us use it to post our pictures, share our memories, or for messaging. Many of us use it for our business or for selling some products on the Facebook marketplace. While using Facebook, many of us have to deal with different kinds of errors. There are many types of errors we can face while using Facebook....
