Marvel shares new trailer for 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'

 

Marvel is kicking off its fourth phase with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. And now, we get a new look at the upcoming film. Canadian actor Simu Liu stars as the titular Shang-Chi, who finds himself drawn back into his troublesome past. We get a better look at what to expect from the film with this new trailer.

Liu is joined by the likes of Tony Leung, Awkwafina, and Michelle Yeoh, under the direction of Destin Daniel Cretton. Shang-Chi might not be familiar to you, but given the scale of the Marvel machine, this movie can be an excellent introduction to the character. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is coming to theatres on September 3.

Instagram experiments with offering posting on desktop

The latest experiment Instagram is trying on the desktop brings the ability to post via the web browser. Social media consultant Matt Navarra shared screenshots of the feature, which Facebook has confirmed it is testing.

"We know that many people access Instagram from their computer," spokesperson Christine Pai told Bloomberg. "To improve that experience, we're now testing the ability to create a Feed post on Instagram with their desktop browser."

Based on Navarra's screenshots, Instagram on the web will let you select aspect ratios, apply built-in filters, and use the essential editing tools. It isn't available for all users yet. But this might be a welcome addition, especially for social media professionals who need an easier way to manage their accounts.

Microsoft Windows 11 brings Android apps, new interface, Snap Layouts, and more

Microsoft has just previewed the next iteration of Windows, which is aptly called Windows 11. The company worked to simplify the user interface, improve performance and multitasking, and bring Android apps natively for the first time.

You'll be greeted first by one of the most significant changes, the Start menu and updated Star button are now at the center of the taskbar, which might remind you of macOS but also the now-cancelled Windows 10X. There are no longer Live Tiles. Instead, you get a launcher similar to Chrome OS or Android. You see apps, recent documents, and a search option. There are more rounded corners here, too, which we've seen on operating systems like Android and iOS. There's also more straightforward access to Microsoft 365 productivity apps, which will make it easier to continue working on files you've accessed on other devices.
