Mayday is far better than its premise would suggest. A Navy pilot (Reynolds) ejects during a black ops mission and is taken in by a backwoods Americaphile (Branagh); together they must escape the KGB. Expect Top Gun references. Unsurprisingly, a lot of what is good about it comes from the two […]

It’s my opinion that seeing as Romulus is probably the Alien sequel I’ve enjoyed most since 3, it’s a real shame that Ridley Scott is returning to the franchise to ruin the fun for yet another time!

When you know someone has vibe coded an app in a matter of a few months or less then upload their app to Virus Total and check for malware and spyware.

What we are seeing right now across Reddit is people quickly whipping up creative and utility apps with Al, but only because they want to deliver a virus into your computer.

Almost all these guys use the same story “Il was tired of app X, Y or Z so | decided to make my own.”

It sounds like they are doing something heroic and noble. Standing up to successful companies, etc. That's the trick they use to make you download their
malware. They're not being Robin Hood. They're just trying to rob the hood.
