    David Corenswet On ‘Superman’ Advice From Henry Cavill, Tyler Hoechlin

    As David Corenswet takes over the big red cape for James Gunn‘s Superman, he had some support from previous Men of Steel.

    The actor recently shared the “very encouraging” words he received from Man of Steel (2013), Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017) star Henry Cavill, as well as Tyler Hoechlin from The CW‘s Superman & Lois, about taking on the role of DC Comics superhero for the big screen.

    “I had the pleasure of exchanging letters with two previous Supermans, Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin. They were very encouraging and we had a lovely exchange and I’m excited to meet them one day. It’ll be great when we can all get in a room together,” he told Heart. “Both of them, interestingly, sort of said in their own words, ‘I’m not gonna try to give you any tips.’ And I think that’s a very Superman thing.”

    Corenswet added, “They really just conveyed to me an encouragement and a sense of, you know, have fun with it. Which I think is Superman’s way of doing it too.”

    In addition to Corenswet as the Man of Steel, Gunn’s Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, among a star-studded cast bringing more DC favorites to life.

    Premiering July 11 in theaters, Superman marks the launch of Gunn’s new DCU, after he and Peter Safran took over at DC Studios in 2022.

    That December, Cavill confirmed the “sad news” that his Superman would not be returning for Gunn’s DCU. The CW then cancelled Superman & Lois, following a four-season run that began in 2021.

  • Metallica, Guns N’ Roses Cover Black Sabbath at Farewell Show: Watch

    Metallica, Guns N’ Roses Cover Black Sabbath at Farewell Show: Watch

    Ozzy Osbourne’s all-star farewell concert on Saturday, dubbed Back to the Beginning, featured Metallica and Guns N’ Roses, who paid tribute to Osbourne and the original Black Sabbath at what was billed as their final show in Birmingham, England at Villa Park.

    Metallica was the penultimate band to perform before the Osbourne/Black Sabbath finale performances. Metallica kicked off their set by covering Black Sabbath’s “Hole in the Sky” from 1975’s Sabotage and they also covered “Johnny Blade” from 1978’s Never Say Die!, as fan footage captured.

    Guns N’ Roses performed four Black Sabbath renditions, including opening with Technical Ecstasy’s “It’s Alright” before launching into “Never Say Die.”

    Guns N’ Roses also performed “Junior’s Eyes” from Never Say Die! along with the title track to 1973’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

    The charity gig featuring the four original Black Sabbath members — Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward — also included performances from Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, and more, with Tom Morello serving as the musical director. The event featured all-star jams that included Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan, Morello, Sammy Hagar, and more, including a team-up for a rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.”

    Trending Stories

    “It’s my time to go back to the beginning … time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Osbourne, who in recent years has been battling Parkinson’s disease and underwent several spinal surgeries, said of his “final” concert in a statement from February. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham for ever.”

    Proceeds from Back to the Beginning will benefit Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and the Birmingham-based Acorns Children’s Hospice.

  • Save $31 on the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC

    Save $31 on the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC

    Apple users who are in need of an upgrade to a new set of AirPods wouldn’t need to wait for Prime Day to shop. Right now, the latest AirPods 4 with ANC capabilities are back to $148 from $179, which is their second-best price and a saving of $31 (17%) at Amazon.

    This is the second-best price for the standard Apple wireless earbuds, or $10 shy of the record low from last year. However, it’s the lowest for this year, making it considerably an attractive offer.

    Why We Like the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC

    The AirPods 4 (review) were launched at the end of last year, introducing a new ANC model with an extra $50 price difference compared to the non-ANC version. Regardless, the addition of noise cancellation is a massive upgrade if you desire a quieter listening session, especially since the AirPods feature an open-design, which inherently offers poor passive noise isolation.

    Apple’s new generation AirPods are mostly unchanged externally, retaining their familiar “hair dryer” form. However, there are a few subtle tweaks in the positioning of air vents to better relieve pressure, leading to improved sound. The earbuds are lightweight and feel comfortable in the ears even during long listening sessions, all while maintaining a secure fit. You can control them through touch and head orientation, although volume adjustment is only available via the app.

    With the right settings, the AirPods 4 provide clear sound and a balanced profile. The bass is somewhat less prominent, but you can boost it with an equalizer tweak to better suit your preferences. We appreciate that the ANC performs well in noise suppression, and it’s even adaptive, similar to the volume control.

    The added ANC has minimally impacted the battery life of the AirPods 4. You still get a modest 4 hours of runtime with ANC enabled and 5 hours without the feature. You can extend this up to 30 hours in total with the charging case. Charging is fast, either via USB-C or wirelessly via Qi.

    Are you looking to snag the AirPods 4 at this rate? Or are you waiting for the Prime Day sale? Share with us your plans in the comments.

  • Half-centuries by Smith and Green put Australia back in charge in Grenada

    Half-centuries by Smith and Green put Australia back in charge in Grenada

    ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada (AP) — Half-centuries by Steve Smith and Cameron Green turned Australia’s situation against the West Indies from delicate to controlling on day three Saturday of the second test.

    Australia, 1-0 up in the three-test series, was back in charge after recovering its second innings from 12-2 at the start of the day to 221-7 at stumps and a decent lead of 254 runs.

    With the pitch playing tricks, often shooting low, Australia was beginning to like its chances of setting a target that was beyond the West Indies’ reach.

    “We are in a nice spot,” Smith said. “I don’t think the wicket is going to get any better, will probably do a few more tricks. The new ball is going to be pretty crucial for us. Hopefully, we can get (the lead) up to somewhere around 300.”

    Australia generally labored to score 209 runs in 58.3 overs around three delays for showers that added up to nearly two hours of play lost. When stumps were called because of bad light, Alex Carey was on 26 off 27 balls with captain Pat Cummins on 4.

    But they were on top.

    Smith joined Green after nightwatchman Nathan Lyon held out for nine overs to reach 8.

    The first ball Smith faced from Alzarri Joseph smashed his right glove. Inside the glove was the pinkie finger he dislocated in the World Test Championship final last month and which sidelined him from the first test in Barbados.

    “It was not ideal (getting hit on the finger) but it feels all right,” Smith said. “It is that kind of surface. Some can shoot up, you might have to take a few on the hands.”

    Green resumed the day on 6 and soon passed his highest score at No. 3 in the order, 15. After lunch, his fifth boundary earned him 50 off 122 balls.

    But the next ball he was out when he edged Shamar Joseph onto his stumps. Green finished on 52 and ended a 93-run partnership with Smith.

    Smith’s sixth boundary brought up his 50 in 79 balls.

    He and Travis Head got Australia to tea and a lead of 208.

    But soon after, Smith was trapped by Justin Greaves. Smith reviewed but it showed the ball hitting his pad in front of off stump. His 71 off 119 balls included seven boundaries and a six flogged off Roston Chase over long-off.

    Greaves also got Beau Webster for 2 but Head and Carey gave the total a 31-run surge before Head’s off stump was bowled by Shamar Joseph on 39.

  • Daisy Chain Of Hacks Lets New Arm Board Run Doom

    Daisy Chain Of Hacks Lets New Arm Board Run Doom

    Running DOOM on ARM? Old hat. Running Doom (2016) on an ARM SBC? Well, that’s a bit more interesting, and [Interfacing Linux] shows us how with this handy guide, and in a video embedded below.

    The ARM SBC in question is the Radxa Orion O6, which claims to be the world’s first open source ARMv9 motherboard. It has a 12-core ARM9.2 SoC from Cix, and crucially for gaming, a PCIe x16 slot to fit a graphics card. There’s onboard graphics in the SoC, of course, but that’s only going to cut it for old DOOM, not Doom (2016).

    Obviously there is no ARMv9 build of this nine-year-old classic. Thus, a certain degree of hacking is required. An x86 emulation layer called FEX is used to run Steam, which includes the Proton compatibility layer to sit between the Linux system and the Windows system calls the games are making.

    So, again: Windows games, running via a compatibility layer on a Linux system running on an x86 emulator, running on another Linux system, running on ARM hardware. Yeah, we’d call that a hack, and just possibly cursed. The amazing thing is that it works. As long as you use a PCI 3.0 graphics card, anyway; apparently newer ones don’t work, or at least not the one [Interfacing Linux] had to try. (Some report better luck with newer NVIDIA cards.) Which is a pity, because every game tested is GPU-throttled on this system. Considering the CPU should be handling all the emulation, that just goes to show how GPU-heavy even 10-year-old games are.

    [Interfacing Linux] seems to enjoy running things where they should not; we just wrote up their SteamOS console.

    This isn’t the first time a Radxa board has shown up on Hackaday either, but they don’t seem to be nearly as popular as the fruit-flavoured competition for the sort of projects we usually see. If you’ve got a good project using one of these powerful ARM boards– or anything else, don’t hesitate to send us a tip!

    Ed Sheeran, Drake Top Apple Music’s Top 500 Streamed Songs List

    Ed Sheeran, the Weeknd and Drake are just a few of the artists topping Apple Music‘s Top 500 Streamed Songs list, honoring 10 years of the streaming service.

    Sheeran’s “Shape of You” is the most-streamed song on the tally, which Apple has been rolling out in batches by the hundred throughout the week. As the No. 1 most-played song globally, “Shape of You” had over 1,000 days where the song reached No. 1 on the all-genre Top Songs chart in at least one country, and upon release, it broke the record for biggest pop song in Apple Music history in worldwide first-day streams.

    At No. 2, the Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” spent more than 180 days in the top 10 of the Global Daily Top 100. The Weeknd has the most R&B/soul songs on the chart with nine entries. Behind him is Drake with “God’s Plan” at No. 3, which was streamed more than any other hip-hop song in Apple Music history. Across the list of songs, Drake has more entries than any other artist, with 27 songs making the tally.

    Post Malone has songs at Nos. 4 and 5: “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)” featuring Swae Lee and “Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage, respectively. Rounding out the rest of the top 10 are Drake’s “One Dance,” Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode,” Sheeran’s “Perfect,” Chris Brown’s “No Guidance” and Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.”

    Other notable entries on the Top 500 Streamed Songs list include Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which is the only holiday song to make the cut at No. 100. Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” which bows at No. 60, is the highest-ranking country song, while Eilish has the most alternative songs with nine. Taylor Swift is the No. 2 artist by number of songs (14 entries), with “Cruel Summer” as her highest-charting at No. 57.

  • Mbappe nets in thrilling Real Madrid win against Dortmund at Club World Cup | Football News

    Mbappe nets in thrilling Real Madrid win against Dortmund at Club World Cup | Football News

    Kylian Mbappe was among the scorers as the French forward continues comeback in Real Madrid’s 3-2 win against Dortmund.

    Kylian Mbappe’s spectacular bicycle kick was among three goals in the second-half stoppage time, as Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in a Club World Cup quarterfinal match.

    The drama was not restricted to the late goals, with Real keeper Thibaut Courtois using his fingertips to palm away the potential levelling goal from the game’s final play.

    Gonzalo Garcia and Fran García scored in the first 20 minutes as Madrid built a 2-0 lead.

    Dortmund’s Maximilian Beier scored three minutes into stoppage time, and Mbappe, who entered in the 67th, restored a two-goal lead with his bicycle kick one minute later.

    Serhou Guirassy converted a penalty kick in the eighth minute of added time after he was fouled by Dean Huijsen, who received a red card and will miss the semifinals.

    Courtois used all of the lengthy arm on his 200cm (6ft 7in) frame to tip away Marcel Sabitzer’s shot just before the final whistle.

    Madrid advanced to a semifinal match against Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, a day after Chelsea meets Brazilian club Fluminense.

    On a sunny afternoon, in 30 degrees Celsius (86 F) at the 3pm kickoff, Gonzalo Garcia scored in the 10th minute and Fran Garcia in the 20th.

    Garcia, a 21-year-old who made only five Spanish league appearances in the past two seasons, was given the start by new Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso over Mbappe, who is still regaining fitness after acute gastroenteritis.

    Garcia has four goals, tying Benfica’s Angel Di María and Al Hilal’s Marcos Leonardo for the tournament lead.

    Mbappe came on for Jude Bellingham, who missed a chance to play against his brother, Jobe, who was suspended for yellow-card accumulation.

    Madrid beat Dortmund 2-0 in the 2024 Champions League final and overcame a two-goal halftime deficit in a 5-2 victory in this season’s league phase. Los Blancos were eliminated by Arsenal in this year’s Champions League quarterfinals.

    Madrid has won five consecutive games against Dortmund and is unbeaten in seven since a 2014 Champions League quarterfinal defeat.

    American midfielder Gio Reyna did not get off the bench and finished the tournament with one 13-minute appearance for Dortmund in five matches.

    This game drew 76,611 fans to MetLife Stadium, the site of next year’s World Cup final. Seats looked filled, except for a completely empty suite level on one side.

    There was a moment of silence before kickoff for Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and his brother, Penafiel’s Andre Silva, who died in a car crash on Thursday.

  • Black Sabbath fans angered over Marilyn Manson appearance during show

    Black Sabbath fans angered over Marilyn Manson appearance during show

    Black Sabbath fans slam Marilyn Manson video tribute

    Marilyn Manson was a shocking addition to appearances and performances at the recent Black Sabbath farewell show.

    Somewhere between performances by Alice in Chains, Tom Morello, Yungblud and Metallica, the disgraced rock musician, Manson, was also allowed space to share some pre-recorded words in honour of Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

    A clip shared to social media of the video message showed Manson, real name Brian Warner, speaking of how he later came to share a stage with Osbourne and Black Sabbath after growing up as a fan himself.

    “It is a great honour to be here via this video, and I’d like to say congratulations, and I love you very much Ozzy,” he said, reflecting on their shared history on stage.

    However, Black Sabbath fans were displeased by Manson’s appearance due to several allegations of rape, sexual assault and physical abuse made by four women about him.

    “F*** Marilyn Manson, he’s a piece of s***,” one angry fan wrote on X after seeing the video tribute in the livestream.

    Others also echoed the outrage with one saying, “Disgraceful that he is on this otherwise outstanding Black Sabbath show,” while another wrote, “Marilyn Manson on the Black Sabbath stream f*** off.”

    A fourth viewer said, “Eurgh Marilyn Manson making an appearance on the Sabbath stream. F*** that guy.”

    Though the lawsuit against Manson dropped in January this year, his first UK concert as part of his One Assassination Under God Tour was cancelled after mounting pressure from campaign groups and a Member of the UK Parliament.

    Manson was also dropped by his record label, Loma Vista, as well as his booking agent CAA and longtime manager Tony Ciulla in the wake of the accusations against him.

  • Calculating The Fair Value Of Tasmea Limited (ASX:TEA)

    Calculating The Fair Value Of Tasmea Limited (ASX:TEA)

    • Using the 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity, Tasmea fair value estimate is AU$3.55

    • With AU$3.51 share price, Tasmea appears to be trading close to its estimated fair value

    • Analyst price target for TEA is AU$4.40, which is 24% above our fair value estimate

    How far off is Tasmea Limited (ASX:TEA) from its intrinsic value? Using the most recent financial data, we’ll take a look at whether the stock is fairly priced by estimating the company’s future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. One way to achieve this is by employing the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. Models like these may appear beyond the comprehension of a lay person, but they’re fairly easy to follow.

    We generally believe that a company’s value is the present value of all of the cash it will generate in the future. However, a DCF is just one valuation metric among many, and it is not without flaws. If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the rationale behind this calculation can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model.

    AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part – they are all under $10bn in marketcap – there is still time to get in early.

    We’re using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company’s growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. To start off with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren’t available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.

    Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, so we discount the value of these future cash flows to their estimated value in today’s dollars:

  • Faith Kipyegon breaks own 1500m world record at Prefontaine Classic

    Faith Kipyegon breaks own 1500m world record at Prefontaine Classic

    Faith Kipyegon returned to record-breaking ways at the Eugene Diamond League on Saturday (5 July).

    Nine days ago, she failed in an heroic attempt to become the first woman to run a four-minute mile in Paris. The Kenyan star looked notably fatigued in the closing stages, but she showed she was in great shape as she surged to a new 1500m world record in front of a sell-out crowd at Hayward Field.

    Her race was the last of the night with the scene set for another historic run. And Kipyegon once again delivered. Australia’s Jessica Hull was in touch with the three-time Olympic gold medallist after the bell, but then the 31-year-old unleashed a typically devastating kick just as her compatriot Beatrice Chebet had done in breaking the 5000m world record some 90 minutes earlier.

    Kipyegon ran the last 400m in 59.1 as she took victory in 3:48.68, 0.36 inside her mark from last July’s Paris Diamond League.

    Ethiopia’s Diribe Welteji took second in 3:51.44 with Hull coming home third in 3:52.67.

    This is the third time Kipyegon has set a new world record over 1500m, having first broken it in Florence in 2023. A week after her Italian exploits, she broke the 5000m world record which now belongs to Chebet.
