Image: Universal Netflix will bring even more Universal films to its lineup thanks to a new deal that will send the studio’s live-action movies to the streamer starting in 2027. Under the agreement, Universal and Focus Features’ live-action titles will appear on Netflix no later than eight months after their release in theaters. The new arrangement also includes renewing their exclusive licensing agreement for animated films from the Universal-owned Illumination and DreamWorks Animation (DWA). Netflix will get to stream Universal’s live-action films exclusively for 10 months following its debut on Peacock — but the movies will return to the NBC-owned service at the end of this window. This will eventually replace Amazon’s existing deal with the studio... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge Google is rolling out some new Chrome memory management features aimed at helping you wrangle out-of-control tabs more easily. The updates include new “Performance issue alerts” and some tweaks to the existing Memory Saver mode, which already tries to free up the resources of inactive tabs in the background. The new alerts appear when a new Performance Detection tool finds that one of your tabs is using more resources than it should. The notification appears next to your account thumbnail in Chrome’s toolbar as a tiny graphic that looks like a speedometer. (If I didn’t know about it already, I might think I’d accidentally added an Ookla Speedtest extension to my browser.) If you click the graphic, it will list the offending tabs and give...

A few days after updating the firmware of several of its AirPods models, Apple has now updated AirPods 4 to version 7B19. That's the same build available for AirPods Pro 2. However, this firmware won't bring hearing aid capabilities to Apple's entry-level earbuds. At this moment, it’s unclear what’s new with this build. However, it’s likely about stability improvements. That said, these are the latest firmware updates for all AirPods models: AirPods Pro (2nd gen) with MagSafe charger (USB-C): 7B19 AirPods Pro (2nd gen) with MagSafe charger (Lightning): 7B19 AirPods Pro (1st gen): 6F21 AirPods (4th gen): 7B19 AirPods (3rd gen): 6F21 AirPods (2nd gen): 6F21 AirPods Max (Lightning): 6F21 AirPods Max (USB-C): 7A291 AirPods (1st gen): 6.8.8 How to update AirPods firmware AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C port. Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR There isn’t an official method to update your AirPods 4 firmware. Since Apple says the new versions install when AirPods are connected via Bluetooth to your iPhone, the best option is to let both devices charge together for at least 30 minutes. By signing up, I agree to the Terms of Use and have reviewed the Privacy Notice. To check your AirPods firmware version, you need to open the Settings app, open the Bluetooth menu, find your AirPods or Beats earbuds, and tap the “i” next to them to see the current version number. If this process doesn’t work, you’ll have to wait until they update on their own, as Apple doesn’t let you manually install these firmware updates. Interestingly, a few days ago, Apple released a firmware update for AirPods Pro 2 to all users. It brings new hearing aid features for users in the US and Canada using iOS 18.1. If we discover anything new with this build, we’ll update this article.

Sweet Potato Layer Cake- fresh sweet potato, lots of fall spices, a cream cheese forsting and toffee bits make this fall dessert absolutely irresistible. Sweet Potato Layer Cake Recipe Sweet potato cakes aren’t that prevalent and I’m on a mission to change that. Similar in flavor to pumpkin cake, this sweet potato cake is wonderfully moist and tender, full of fall flavors (cinnamon, allspice, and ginger) and makes a great holiday cake. Mashed Sweet Potato You will need 2 1/2 cups of mashed sweet potato for this cake. To make the mashed sweet potato, bake 3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes until very soft. Let cool slightly and then peel off the skins and discard them. Place the sweet potatoes in a bowl and mash with a fork until very smooth. Equipment Needed 2 9-Inch Cake Pans Electric Stand Mixer Wire Rack Offset Spatula Measure The Flour Correctly To prevent a dry cake, be sure to meaure the flour correctly. Fluff it up some in the bag or container, then gently scoop it with a large spoon into a dry measuring cup. Overfill it slightly and run the back of a knife across the top to get rid of the excess. How To Store Sweet Potato Layer Cake Since there is cream cheese in the frosting, this cake is best stored in the refrigerator. Or it can be frozen for up to 2 months either whole or in individual slices. Recipe Tips If your cream cheese frosting is too soft to spread, you can either add more powdered sugar or refrigerate it for 20 to 30 minutes. Be sure not to overbake the cake. Test with a toothpick after about 33 minutes.

She accessorized with matching black heels and a hair bow as she strutted in and out of fun spots for her birthday.
