Queer Eye’s Bobby Berk called out Dancing with the Stars for casting former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. This comes shortly after his co-star Karamo Brown supported the decision. A lot of people were surprised and disappointed when the cast list for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars was revealed and included Spicer.

Apple’s two new fastener-free Apple Watch bands have proven popular, but Solo Loop sizing seems to be problematic for many. The new liquid silicone rubber and polyester-and-silicone bands require very precise sizing to ensure that they fit snugly but comfortably. There’s no problem if you can visit an Apple Store, as the company offers disposable sizing guides, and you can then try one on to confirm the fit. But not everyone has a nearby store, and appointments are limited, so many have had to rely on Apple’s online sizing guide, with very mixed results …...

R2-D2 finally gets a sequel trilogy character poster as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker releases a new batch of artwork. First introduced in the original Star Wars in 1977 along with his constant companion C-3P0, the feisty astromech droid affectionately known as Artoo quickly became a fan favorite for his plucky courage in helping Luke Skywalker and company take down the Galactic Empire’s ultimate superweapon the Death Star.

The field of social engineering is based on psychology and acting. Research by Robert B. Cialdini found that humans are more likely to comply with a request under certain circumstances:...

According to the company, most quantum computers are currently error prone meaning that only the shortest and simplest algorithms can run, inhibiting on quantum computational capabilities being delivered to end users. However, through its research activities, the company said it has identified methods using AI and automation to reduce the number of errors. At the same time, the research was completed using conventional cloud access to commercial quantum computers and did not require any special hardware access....
