It only took 44 years for a new adaptation of Shōgun to come along and remind viewers that the late James Clavell was an incredible writer. Clavell was a solider in the British army during World War II, and he endured a harsh stint as a POW before his eventual release. Those experiences informed his writing as he went on to become an acclaimed screenwriter, director, and novelist. Shōgun may be Clavell’s most famous work, but it’s far from his only masterpiece. Because the new version of Shōgun is currently airing on FX and streaming on Hulu, we’re taking a look…
It has been exactly one year since one of the most exciting events in the history of UAE’s space exploration. On March 3, 2023, Sultan Al Neyadi blasted off to the International Space Station (ISS) on a mission that became the region’s longest one ever. The astronaut took to social media to commemorate the event. “A year ago, I experienced my first moments aboard the ISS. I still recall each moment in microgravity with the crew. This anniversary also comes just two days before the graduation of Astronaut Nora and Astonaut Al Mulla from NASA’s Astronaut Candidate Class. The journey…
Germany’s defence minister said on Sunday Russia was conducting an “information war” aimed at creating divisions within Germany, his first reaction to the publication in Russia of an audio recording of a meeting of senior German military officials.

There’s no other laptop quite like the MacBook Pro right now. In particular, I’m talking about the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Max under the hood. The way this laptop balances performance and portability just hasn’t been seen before. But it’s getting some serious competition, and it’s coming from an unexpected place. The ROG Zephyrus G14 is a gaming laptop, yes, but its new model this year is the closest thing we have to a MacBook Pro killer. Design At first blush, you wouldn’t think these two laptops share much in terms of design. And it’s true, the ROG…
Malaysia is pushing for a renewed search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, the transport minister said on Sunday, as the 10th anniversary of its disappearance in one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries approaches. Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. Malaysian investigators initially did not rule out the possibility that the aircraft had been deliberately taken off course, and debris, some confirmed and some believed to be from the aircraft, has washed up along the coast of Africa and on islands in the…
I don’t use OneDrive, but Microsoft is hellbent on making sure I do. When you set up a new PC, OneDrive automatically starts syncing files based on the Microsoft account you sign in with. This isn’t normally a problem, but if you’re a PC gamer who switches devices often, it can cause quite a headache. It’s not an impossible problem to overcome, and you can always turn OneDrive off. But as someone who bounces around PCs often, I wish that Microsoft’s cloud storage service was opt-in instead of opt-out. Creating conflict The main problem with OneDrive and PC gaming is…
The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) carried out 181 field examinations of licensed financial institutions in 2023.

A seven-year-old girl drowned on Sunday when a small boat carrying 16 migrants heading from northern France to Britain capsized, the prefecture in France’s Nord department said.
