by

I want to say up front, this is a spoiler-free review of Avengers: Endgame. There are too many YouTube channels with spoiler-filled thumbnails and other people on social media just ruining the movie. It happened to me, we will not be doing that to you. But here is our review of Avengers: Endgame.

It should be noted we will generally reference parts of the movie, but if you haven’t seen it, it won’t mean anything. For those who have seen it, we’d love to know your opinions as well in the comments below.

What If Alexa Was Christian? [Video]


by

I love me some John Crist and his videos are true gold. When he makes the connection of Christian culture with technology on a YouTube video, I’m instantly clicking it to watch. (Plus, they are normally a couple of minutes long and easy to digest.)

But that other 5% of this build is dedicated to changing the organization from the inside out.

Have Your Passwords And Emails Been Compromised?


by

We have spoken a lot about security. One can never assume they’re completely immune from being compromised. Risk of social engineering, where hackers convince customer support to give them your password, is real. Hacks into a database could see millions of accounts stolen. Security breaches have happened before and are happen from time to time.

The question is, do you know if you have been pwned? Pwned is a term that means that you have an email and or password that have been compromised. The best way to figure out if you have been pwned is to visit the site HaveIBeenPwned.com

by

The ChurchMag beat includes technology and how Christians can best use it or how it impacts the Church. One big thing we promote indirectly on a regular basis is to keep it honest. Whether you are a Christian organization online doing shady things or gossiping via Facebook groups. We’ve covered it.

This video by Marques Brownlee is actually a Twitter trend that has gone viral where he sees people tweeting Android or Microsoft branded tweets via an Apple product.
