How To Enable Dark Mode On Slack | Screen Rant

Slack is one of the platforms where communicating with someone is as easy as pressing enter. The online messaging platform provides similar features to Discord, like voice and video chat, the ability to send and receive files, and more. Users can even change their profile picture/email address associated with their accounts and enable two-factor authentication as well. For the dark theme fans out there, Slack offers a dark mode that users can enable easily. Like other messaging applications such as Telegram , Slack's dark mode makes the platform easier to use. The appearance mode uses a darker, high-contrast color theme that combines black backgrounds and white text. This color scheme is easier on the eyes and enables people to use the platform in a poorly lit room or at night. Slack's dark mode is available across all platforms, including Android 10 and above, iOS 13 and above, macOS, and Windows. Related: How To Install Slack On Chome OS Slack  provides two options — us

Top Gun: Maverick Glossary & Key Terms Guide | Screen Rant

There is ample military terminology used in Top Gun: Maverick , but fortunately, the Navy’s glossary is easy to break down. Top Gun: Maverick ’s stellar reviews  prove the movie is a worthy follow-up to 1986’s cult classic original. However, the long-awaited sequel shares one problem with Top Gun . Despite being a relatively light-hearted blockbuster, Top Gun used many potentially confusing military terminology in its screenplay. Top Gun: Maverick continues this trend, with characters referring to “ wingmen ” and “ fifth-generation fighters ” without explaining these phrases. Luckily, a glossary can be provided for those unable to differentiate a Rear Admiral from a Vice Admiral. Related:  Is Top Gun: Maverick's Hypersonic Darkstar Jet Real? One of the most important points to clarify is that Top Gun: Maverick  centers on the Navy, not the Air Force. As a result, all of the terminology used in the sequel refers to ranks, technology, and slang that will be familiar to members

Why Movies Get Bruce Lee's Fight With Wong Jack-Man So Wrong

Bruce Lee 's famed fight with Wong Jack-man has been recreated on film twice, but while both of these portrayals diverge from the facts of the original match, there are good reasons for the inaccuracies. Bruce Lee's development of Jeet Kune Do was born out of his fight with Wong, which took place in San Francisco in 1964. The fight was later depicted in the 1993 biopic Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and again in 2017's Birth of the Dragon . Aside from the fact of the fight's occurrence and Lee's dissatisfaction with the outcome leading to his creation of Jeet Kune Do, the versions of the fight seen in both films are almost entirely fictionalized. One of the major reasons for this is the lack of consensus on many details of the fight, with even eyewitness accounts varying greatly. This extends to the duration of the fight, which has been, at different times, reported as being a quick match of a few minutes and as one lasting as long as 25 minutes. Accounts of Lee an

DBZ: What Happened To Mecha-Frieza In Future Trunks' Timeline

Mecha-Frieza experienced a different fate in Future Trunks’ timeline in Dragon Ball Z . In the anime, he was famously killed by Future Trunks upon his arrival in the present. For this reason, it’s impossible for him to have met the same end in the other timeline. The Z-Warriors were placed in great peril when Frieza came to Earth in pursuit of revenge against Goku. Joined by King Cold, Frieza was about to attack Goku’s friends when they were saved by the timely arrival of Future Trunks , who managed to kill both Frieza and his father. Thanks to him, neither villain succeeded in bringing any harm to the Z-Warriors. Interestingly, the way in which Dragon Ball Z killed off Frieza raises questions about what happened to the character in Future Trunks’ timeline. Since he wasn’t even born yet, he obviously couldn’t have been there for the fight with Frieza and King Cold.

Captain America's Gross Secret Redefines His Origin | Screen Rant

Nextwave ’s strange and gross secret about Captain America 's urine completely redefines his origin story. After being injected by Dr. Abraham Erskine’s Super Solider serum, Steve Rogers was transformed into a living superhuman. When Erskine was tragically killed by Nazi saboteurs shortly after Steve’s transformation, many scientists tried to replicate the experiment that gave the world Captain America. While those experiments typically created supervillains instead of superheroes, Steve Rogers remains an anomaly that is inimitable until Marvel’s Nextwave series. The short-lived comic series Nextwave by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen followed a group of unlikely and temperamental superheroes employed by the Beyond Corporation, which operates under the guise of an anti-terrorist organization called H.A.T.E. The team is tasked with protecting the world from a variety of strange and powerful threats. When the members of Nextwave realize who their employers are and their true inte

Why You Shouldn't Buy The Mac Pro In 2022 | Screen Rant

When Apple launched the  Mac Pro back in 2019, it was championed by professionals for its modularity and repairability, but is it still worth buying now that Apple has transitioned to its own M-series Silicon ? The Mac Pro was the first Apple product in quite some time that bore the 'Pro' moniker and was actually suited for professionals. The company slaps the 'Pro' tag on just about any product — from iPhones, to AirPods, to even monitor stands — all in the name of marketing. With the Mac Pro, though, Apple created a computer that was built for professionals and had real-world features to back it up. The Mac Pro is a unique Apple product, given that it's exterior is as premium as its internals. The chassis of the computer tower is made of precision-cut aluminum and stainless steel. The top of the case features a handle that sits flush across the top when not in use and folds upward when a user needs to open up the computer. Most of Apple's products are noto

The Circle Season 4: Where To Follow The Players On Social Media

Season 4 of Netflix's hit social media reality TV series The Circle gave fans an exciting new celebrity wrinkle by adding two members from the iconic '90s pop group The Spice Girls. While Emma Bunton and Mel B lasted less than halfway through the season before getting blocked, the real standout was Frank Grimsley, who used a brilliant strategy to outwit the other players en route to the winner's circle. As always, one of the aspects of competing on shows as popular as The Circle is the inevitable spike in social media followers that result. Those interested in keeping close tabs on the 12 players who competed on The Circle season 4 are in the right place. 21-year-old Miami native and sorority girl Parker Abbott opted to play The Circle as her 56-year-old father Paul during season 4. Alas, she was not able to keep the charade going for very long and was blocked during episode 2. RELATED: 9 Best Tweets About The Circle Season 4 Despite the quick exit from the hit rea

90 Day Fiancé: What Happened To The Season 9 Cast This Week (May 23)

This week, various 90 Day Fiancé season 9 cast members used their Instagrams  as platforms to address the hate they’ve been getting from online critics. Fans are not really enjoying the ongoing 90 Day Fiancé 2022 installment, for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, the situations that most couples have found themselves in until episode 7 feel fake and scripted. Even though there’s enough conflict to indicate that some pairs may not end up together, spoilers suggest that most of the couples have been married for a few months. Bilal Hazziez and Shaeeda Sween discussed having kids again on 90 Day Fiancé  episode 7. Bilal finally explained that he wants to focus on building a strong relationship with Shaeeda before allowing a kid to enter the equation. Ariela Weinberg got Biniyam Shibre to meet her family.

Young Boba Fett Actor Reunites With McGregor & Christensen in New Image

Young Boba Fett actor Daniel Logan reunited with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen for a photograph at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022. Logan portrayed the younger version of the original trilogy bounty hunter in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones . McGregor and Christensen played Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker throughout the prequel trilogy. Taking on the role of a younger Boba Fett in 2002, Logan's portrayal of young Fett saw him raised by his father, Jango (Temuera Morrison) on Kamino, until Obi-Wan arrives to investigate a recent assassination attempt on Senator Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman). Fleeing to Geonosis, Boba witnesses his father's beheading at the hands of Mace Windu (Samuel L Jackson). The Clone Wars animated series would see Logan return to voice the young Boba, following his journey from his vendetta against the Jedi, to his early years as a bounty hunter, leading into the character Morrison would portray in the spin-off series The B

10 Best Shows Like The Invisible Pilot | Screen Rant

Content Warning: This article contains references to mental health, murder, and drug misuse. The power of documentary lies in its ability to get to the heart of its subject, often allowing people to speak the truth in ways they would not in everyday life. That is certainly the case with the docuseries The Invisible Pilot , which focuses on an Arkansas man who faked his own death, largely because he was running drugs and feared for his life. The series is a blend of true crime and biography, and it is, at times, strange viewing, particularly once it dives deep into the stories. Though it has its own unique approach to its strange subject, it joins a number of other series–both documentaries and dramas, real and fictional–that reveal the truth behind appearances. Few true crime documentaries have achieved quite the level of fame and notoriety as The Jinx , which focused on the accused murderer Robert Durst. It has many aspects of it that are sure to appeal to fans of The Invisible Pi

The Office: 10 Memes That Sum Up The Show Perfectly | Screen Rant

The Office is a timeless comedy, and one of the few shows where the funny moments stay hilarious years after the final broadcast. The mockumentary-style show, now on Peacock, lasted a solid 9 seasons, which meant that there was a huge amount of material and jokes for fans to watch and rewatch over and over again. The best way to sum up the shenanigans of Michael Scott and Dunder Mifflin-ites would be to use the universal language of the internet: memes. These employees had virtually no boundaries between personal and professional, and these memes accurately show just how outrageous The Office could get, and just how much fans loved that. Via: Mashable SEA Viewers love Fleabag 's breaking of the fourth wall, but fans of The Office would say Jim Halpert did it first. Jim's iconic, deadpan stare into the camera when anyone did anything embarrassing or weird is one of the most legendary parts of the show, and the mockumentary would be incomplete without it. His looks ranged

Viewers were shocked by some of the comments made by several male cast members, flocking to social media in order to discuss their outrage. Some stars of the show have received more heat than others. There have been quite a few scandals surrounding cast members throughout the show's history.
