Movies to Watch If You Like Gossip Girls

Gossip Girls, a teen drama premiered in 2007 on The CW, ran for six winning seasons until 2012. The show features a group of mostly elite teenagers and their complicated families as they grow on the Upper East Side of New York City. Just as the name suggests, the show goes about everything from scandal, to love, and conflicts.

 You can binge on all the six seasons on Netflix. And just in case you want something to watch in-between seasons, here are some movies that you will adore if you can’t get enough of Blair and her friends.

Mean Girls

From the very beginning of the series, it is made clear that Blaire being Queen B and her friends, aka followers, eat lunch gossiping on the steps of The Met. This is portrayed as a status symbol, if you are invited to eat on those steps with these girls, that means you are in.

This movie of 2004 named Mean Girls holds a lot of similarities to the teen drama, with lunch table status being one of that.

The Devil Wears Prada

One of the standouts about Gossip Girl is watching all the high-end designer clothing slain by the cast in each episode. Every scene flaunts expensive dresses and sharply tailored suits by top designers in the fashion industry.

The Devil Wears Prada is another brilliant movie that is all things clothes, bags, and shoes starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt.

Easy A

 Gossip Girl is an online, anonymous blog that spreads all the rumors as the series progresses, the spicy talks get even messier. 

So, for the viewers who love good rumors, Easy A, is a must-watch. The film talks about Olive, a girl struggling with her own school’s rumor mill, just as you see in Gossip Girls.

What To Expect When You’re Expecting

The series Gossip Girls is not just about some mean girls. It is about some heart-throbbing guys as well. One of which is Nate, the rich kid with a big heart. He is best friends with the wrong guy Chuck Bass but is nothing like him.

If you admire Nate played by Chace Crawford in Gossip Girls, you would love the warmth he brings to his character, Marco, in the film What to Expect When You’re Expecting. 

A Walk To Remember

If you watched all the six episodes of Gossip Girl waiting for the day when all of the personalities would put down all the drama and live happily ever after, then you must watch the movie A Walk to Remember.

Based on Nicholas Sparks’ bestseller, this movie tells the story of two teenagers who fall in love despite their differences.

Breakfast At Tiffany’s

If you like Blair’s mixed personality traits of being domineering, manipulative, and at the same time being sensitive and compassionate for her friends. You would love to watch this film named Breakfast At Tiffany’s set in the 1960s. 

The character of Audrey Hepburn in the movie takes a lot of cues from Queen B. We hope you will enjoy binging on to these equally famous and dramatic movies as the show Gossip Girl is.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Review: A Magnificent Watch with Two Features Missing in Action

The third version of Galaxy Watch from tech giant Samsung will be the first watch in the history of the technology to actually measure the level of oxygen on demand by the blood flowing in the veins of the user. However, the two anticipated features which are ECG and blood pressure, do not exist yet.

The watch has a lot of plus points. In particular, it looks enchanting to the eye. It is an attractive looking smart-watches with glaring circular-shaped AMOLED display.

The full form of AMOLED is- active-matrix-light-emitting diode. It is a display device technology that is powered by OLED (Organic Light-emitting diode). Since 2007, it has been used in electronic devices, and it is still being used in the modern lower cost and high-resolution outputs.

The latest aids are a great addition to its splendid technology which includes a running coach, a feature that will synchronize workouts between your TV and your watch. A more enhanced sleep tracking feature as well some health tools. Health tools include an ECG app as well as a feature that will measure blood oxygen levels. But the deliverance on health tools is disappointing, and battery life too needs a bit of work.

If we can give Samsung some slack about its health features, we will be surprised to know how many things are there to like about in this watch. If you were already a fan of Galaxy Watch because of its shining circular screen and a physically rotatable bezel, then you would surely love Galaxy Watch 3. Even during the time when the broad sunlight is penetrating through the screen, unlike other devices, its AMOLED screen lets you see it quite vividly.

So, if you are on a walk even during high noon on holidays, you can check your status nonchalantly. The screen will always be on, but if you want to save your battery life, you may want to turn that off from time to time. The display can always look shiny because you wouldn’t have to smudge it continuously, you may opt to use the rotating bezel instead to explore the screens.

It is advisable to use a sports strap while running or swimming because the leather may get shabby if you constantly let it soak in sweat or water.

Although some health features are missing, the list of the features are a great addition and can really make the watch stand out among its peers. It has an app that does electrocardiogram scan on your heart (ECG), a SpO2 app which is an oximeter application, and its sole purpose is to measure the level of oxygen saturation in the blood. It also has a BP monitor (a blood pressure measuring device that measures systole and diastole), an enhanced version of the sleep detection and period detection feature. It also gives a detailed analysis of your run if you wish to check it once you come to a halt.

You cannot be blamed for being a skeptic of Samsung’s health features. Although, the electrocardiogram feature did also come along with Samsung Galaxy Watch 2 but hasn’t been made available even though a year has passed since Galaxy Watch 2 launch. Even the BP monitor of Galaxy watch 3 showed some unreliable results when some early users did the tests.

The point which is to be noted is that Samsung has got FDA clearance for ECG app (although it still will not be available) and it hasn’t received any FDA clearance with the Blood Pressure monitor.

When talking about elsewhere in the world, the two features are only available in southern Korea.

Previous versions of Galaxy watches did have a feature that measures the oxygen level in the blood such as S10, but there have been improvements in SpO2. There is an opinion shared by many that SpO2 oximeter of Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 will give you a precise number whenever you demand it.

Its highly efficient fitness tracker envelops more than 35 workouts that include swimming, and it also has the capability to automatically detect as well as track at least seven of those workouts.

You may have to alter your setting because the default version of the setting does not show your current heart rate.

The sleep analysis is a state-of-the-art technology of Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. It gives you a score which can help you determine the quality of your sleep. It can also aid your understanding of your sleep patterns. It can showcase how much time you take to enter three stages of your sleep which are light sleep, Rapid eye movement sleep, and deep sleep.

Battery life is not up-to-the-mark.

It does have a battery specification of around 340 milliamperes per hour, and Samsung is pretty confident that it will run smoothly for two days, but that really depends on how you intend to use your battery.

If you let it run for 24 hours without charging with its screen on, brightness high, performing complex tasks such as workout trackers or sleep tracker, the battery will drain off in under 24 hours.

Furthermore, the battery capacity differs in versions of the watch. If you buy a 45 mm version of the watch perhaps only then you may get the battery at a potential that Samsung claims it does possess.

Conclusion It does look startlingly attractive, but few caveats in health aid apps do require immediate attention from Samsung so that the users do not start to get an impression that Samsung makes some careless claims.

Top File Extensions That Can Be Potentially Dangerous for Windows

Every bit of data on the internet is saved in a file format with different extensions. But, before downloading any file from an email or the internet, you must stay cautious about some file extensions. In this article, we will mention some file extensions that can be dangerous for your system. Before getting into file extensions, make sure you have active anti-virus software on your PC to protect you from any virus and malware files.

Some file extensions carry a specific code, or they can execute an arbitrary command which can be damaging for your system. Some media file extensions like JPEG and MP3 are considered safe because they cannot carry codes. Still, there have been many cases where the images in the file contain some maliciously crafted image that can put your system’s data at risk.

Some potentially dangerous file extensions are:

.EXE

EXE is an executable file that can run a program and execute commands with a single click. Sometimes, they can self-execute few commands. Files with EXE extensions carry the most potential danger than any other file extensions.  These files can easily transmit any malware, viruses, and spyware. When you open any EXE file without proper scanning, it launches the malware into your system and corrupts it.

.BAT

BAT file is a batch file that contains a list of commands, and when you open it, that series of commands are launched in order. Batch files can be used to transmit binary executable codes into your system. MS-DOS used these files, and their nature of running the series of in-order commands makes it the perfect option for launching any virus or malware into your system.

.SCF

SCF stands for Shell Command File, and these types of files are shortcuts with the run command. These file’s extensions stay invisible even if you have set your extensions to appear. So you will have to stay more aware with a file that has double extensions. The feature that makes these files more dangerous is that once you open the folder containing the SCF file, it automatically triggers the command. The attacker can plant an SCF file containing a non-printable character on the website that you use the most and can easily access your downloaded data from those websites.

.COM

COM file is the original type of program used by MS-DOS. It is similar to the EXE file, and it can be saved in a binary format. Once you open the file that contains malware, it automatically executes the set of instructions intended to harm your system.

.CMD

CMD format was introduced with Windows NT, and it is similar to the BAT file. Despite having similarities with the BAT file, CMD files are run by CMD. These files can be used to write malware, and it can open specific programs on your computer repeatedly, which can make your system slow and vulnerable to crash. These files can also be used to delete specific data in a directory.

.MSI

MSI file is a Microsoft installer file, and it can contain installation information for other applications. These kinds of files are generally used for Windows update and installation of third party software.

.VB/.VBS

VB and VBS files are used for hiding viruses and malware. VBS stands for Virtual Basic Script, and they are written in VBScript scripting language. These files contain code that can be executed within Internet Explorer or Windows through a Windows-based script host.

.WS/.WSF

WSF stands for Windows Script files, and they contain executable scripts with Jscript and VBScript code. They can only run if Windows Scripting Host 2.0 is installed. These files are usually delivered as email attachments and can damage your system if you open it without checking the integrity of its source.

.SCR

SCR is a screensaver file that is used to show vector graphics, animations, slideshows, or videos. These files contain executable codes which makes it the perfect place for programmers to hide any malicious code.

.PIF

PIF files are program information files for MS-DOS programs. Windows treats PIF files the same as EXE files because they don’t contain any executable codes. These files contain information about how MS-DOS programs should run, and these files can be used to transmit harmful viruses and scripts.

.HTML

HTML language is used to create web pages, and this format is the perfect place to hide any Trojans and worms.

.ZIP

ZIP files can easily carry multiple files in a single folder. These files can be used to hide any viruses, and it can transmit it to your system when you unpack the contained files.

How can you avoid hidden malware in files?

In this digital age, your data is always vulnerable to spyware attacks and malware. Viruses can also be transmitted through email attachments and external devices. We receive millions of spam messages daily, and most of them are harmless, but sometimes we come across a malicious file which is designed in such a way that prompts you to open it. It can be in the form of a gift card or coupon codes. You can follow these simple steps to protect yourself from possible viruses or malware:

• Make sure you have updated anti-virus software which can detect any malicious files.
• Block commands of automatic execution of file launch or unapproved executables.

Make sure you check the integrity of the file’s source before opening it or running it on your system.

Tenet Tickets Go On Sale For Early Screening This Friday

 The upcoming movie of Christopher Nolan, Tenet, is finally released on the big screen. The tickets of the movie will reportedly go on for sale this Friday. Christopher Edward Nolan is a British-American director, famous for his distinctive films. He got 34 Oscar nominations and won ten among them. Nolan is one of the best filmmakers in Hollywood, and his mystery project Tenet has created much hype around it. The film starred Robert Pattinson and John David Washington. Although the plot is still unknown, the exciting trailer has built up anticipation among the audiences.

Tenet is a spy film produced and directed by Christopher Nolan. Nolan took over five years to write the screenplay of the film. The release of the film, though, got delayed three times due to the pandemic COVID-19. It is finally releasing on 26th August 2020 in the United Kingdom, and on 3rd September 2020 in the United States. The central characters of the film Pattinson, Washington, and Debicki, shared that they were only allowed to read the script while locked in a room. So one can imagine the secrecy level of the script. The audiences are just guessing what the movie would be all about through its posters and the trailers. All the posters have the same tagline, “Time runs out,” which only gives us the idea that the theme would be related to time inversion.

Initially, Nolan’s blockbuster was scheduled to be released much earlier and delayed several times. Warner Bros. and Nolan decided to release the film on a big screen on 17th July 2020. Still, the release date got postponed for an indefinite time. But now it is finally coming out, and the tickets are finally going on sale. According to IndieWire, Warner Bros. has planned to roll out Tenet for a sneak peek showings domestically for three days. The tickets for this special screening will be on sale for this Friday. The screening is scheduled for 21st August. Those who are willing to watch Tenet in theaters can get tickets on the Thursday sale on 27th August. The theaters have also made a deal with Warner Bros. regarding the distributed screen for the movie. The production studio will take 63% of the total ticket sale, and the theaters with more than nine screens have to put the show on screen for 12 weeks.

The release of the tickets domestically is also one step towards ensuring that the movie is finally coming. Tenet is on international sales, and the results of the shows in the UK are promising. The film is expected to be one of the blockbusters of the year. The release of the film will finally tell us how financially successful it will be. However, it is yet not known how the box office collection would look like after coronavirus. There is a decent chance that the studio could lose its money for the movie release, as it is a big step to keep theaters alive in this challenging time.
