One day, while working with your favorite agent harness XYZ on some powerpoint presentation, suddenly a popup will appear. It will say something like „XYZ blocked from installing background task. Grant permissions YES/NO“. You will not...
...in 70mm IMAX! I kind of regret it. I saw it at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood - like, real downtown Hollywood, the part of Hollywood with the stars on the sidewalk and the smelly guys in Spiderman outfits. The picture in the theater...
