The film is based on the true story of tightrope walker Philippe Petit’s historic high-wire walk between the two World Trade Center towers in NYC in 1974. The film is a tribute both to Petit’s accomplishment and the twin towers that are no longer part of the NYC skyline. Told from Petit’s point of view (as portrayed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), we are taken on a journey to Petit’s beginnings as a high-wire artist and juggler, through the planning stages of his dream, to his actual walk between the twin towers....

The professional focus can be great if that’s what you’re looking for, but if you’re looking for something more basic, or you’re not interested in anything beyond the occasional vacation photo, this may be more app than you need. Also, some of the high-end features are locked behind an in-app purchase paywall. Our one other dislike boils down to iOS. While the iOS version is far from shaky, the Android version has a bit less of a bug history....

Google Assistant will also suggest message replies, such as “on my way” or “sounds good,” and will even offer up applicable emojis.

Since the majority of home network devices still use Wi-Fi 5, there’s no need to splurge on a Wi-Fi 6 router anyway unless you have more than a few Wi-Fi 6 devices on your network, especially since even the latest smartphones and tablets are fully compatible with all Wi-Fi 5 routers. This means you don’t need to pay a premium for a leading-edge router, and you probably won’t even get any advantage from one unless you’re living in a large home with dozens of Wi-Fi 6 devices on your network....

Google, Snap, and Microsoft are all getting in on the metaverse hype, and Facebook is so excited by the idea that it changed its name to Meta. Meanwhile, VR headsets are still dorky and uncomfortable and blind you to the outside world. What’s going on? “Facebook and Snap are so deep into the metaverse because they’ve always obsessed over community and making community addictive,” Amy Suto, writer, and creative director of a game about the metaverse, told Lifewire via email....

Depending on what you’re willing to pay for a phone, you could have something basic, or you can have the latest and the great (and the most expensive) new smartphone. The phone you use is entirely up to you. Where prepaid phones differ from other phones is in the contract. Rather than having a monthly contract that you’re committed to for 12 or 24 or more months, you prepay for your cellphone service each month, and you get to choose how much talk time, texting, and data you can afford....

While Samsung offered reassurance that neither customer nor employee personal information had been compromised, that’s only one possible avenue for the hackers to take. The data that was taken, which the hackers’ claim includes biometric authentication algorithms and bootloader source code, could still be used in damaging ways. “Most high-profile breaches have resulted in the loss of personal data that has the potential to impact individuals,” said Purandar Das, CEO and co-founder of encryption-based data security solutions company Sotero, in an email to Lifewire, “Establishing a baseline that personal data wasn’t lost is more of a reflex response and not truly indicative of the adverse potential any data breach poses....
