Following her successful run as Eleven on the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown is keeping herself busy outside of Hawkins. The breakout star signed a deal with Legendary Entertainment to star in and produce a feature film series based on Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes Mysteries series. It’ll be produced by her production company PCMA Productions. Brown began a working relationship with Legendary after starring in the Michael Dougherty-directed Godzilla: King of Monsters sequel for Legendary and Warner Bros.

The book series, which spans six books, started in 2006 with The Case of the Missing Marquess. It follows mysteries being investigated by Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes’ much younger sister, Enola, who seems to also possess the same smarts and knack for solving mysteries as her older brothers.

The ability to run 'Pokémon Go' is going away for older iPhones

It's getting tougher to own an older iPhone. If it isn't slowing down because of the necessary battery throttling, it is no longer capable of running the most popular apps and games. This is the case with Pokemon GO which will no longer work on iPhones that don't support iOS 11.

Niantic, who makes Pokemon GO, says that the popular monster hunting and collecting app will not be playable on iPhones from 2013 or earlier. That means iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c (and earlier). Reason for discontinuation is the addition of new features such as enhanced AR (augmented reality) and improvements which the older hardware just can't handle, yikes.

CES 2018: Google Assistant starts rolling out to Android Auto users in the US this week

Feeling a bit confused? You aren’t alone. Apparently, the voice assistant on Android Auto only makes use of Google Voice search and not Google Assistant, which we’ve been using in our phones and other smart devices. It’s only this week that Google has begun rolling out the smart assistant to its Android Auto platform in the U.S first. What this means is you could get a more consistent experience using Assistant no matter what device or Android platform you’re using. It should also make it easier to do things like check the status of your car as well as control certain things like, say, locking doors. It’s already available for vehicles from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Hyundai and coming soon to Kia and Fiat Chrysler.

Some of the upcoming features users can expect include “able to reserve a parking space with SpotHero or order your favorite handcrafted drink or food from Starbucks—all from the road.” But as Google says, these Actions are limited to voice-only features and should be kept as “voice interaction and sounds simple and not too jarring or distracting.”
