Spider-Man’s Producers Still Aren’t Ruling Out a Venom Crossover



In the past decade, we’ve had three Venom films, six Spider-Man films, and zero instances of the two meeting. Oh, sure. Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock briefly spoke about Spider-Man at one point. And, way back in another multiverse, Tobey Maguire’s webslinger faced off against the symbiote. But in the current theatrical life cycle of both characters, in both live action and animation, the arch-enemies have yet to showdown.

And while we assume that wait continues with Spider-Man: Brand New Day (no spoilers here), some of the people responsible don’t want fans to give up hope. Speaking to Happy Sad Confused, Spider-Man: Brand New Day producers Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige talked about a potential meet-up between the Toms.

“It would be great, let’s put it that way,” Pascal said. Feige then added, “Always have hope,” before Pascal tagged on, “I have hope. We have hope.” Of course, that’s a whole lot of nothing. But what it isn’t is a “No.” Here’s the quote as part of a longer clip.

Okay, so assuming that team-up doesn’t happen in Brand New Day (nothing in the marketing has indicated it could, but we wouldn’t want to completely rule it out), when could it happen?

Pascal did confirm the recent news of a Venom animated movie being in the works. So, maybe we see it happen in animation. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is also in the works, and it’s been well-established in that world that every Spider-Man or Spider-Man-adjacent movie is part of an infinite Spider-Verse. Maybe it happens then.

Live action gets a little murkier, though. The general assumption is Holland’s Spider-Man will be seen after Brand New Day in 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. And that film is, again, rumored to feature all manner of cameos: Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, etc. Surely Venom, an alien by origin, could feature in that in some way. But we don’t think so.

Honestly, the most likely place for this crossover would be a future Spider-Man film and, of course, none of those have been written yet. So “hope” is basically all there is. However, we can all but guarantee Brand New Day is going to be a massive financial success and force Sony to continue making Spider-Man movies. Venom seems like a perfect place for the story to go next. After Secret Wars, of course.

Do you think Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will ever fight Venom? And, if so, will it be Tom Hardy? Let us know below. And, if you are really craving that crossover, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 video game does a hell of a job of it.

Samsung, Google and Apple Made It Way Easier to Switch From an iPhone to Android


After getting my Galaxy Z Flip 8 review unit, I did something I haven’t normally done when switching from iPhone to Android: I used the updated Samsung Smart Switch app to transfer my personal data from my iPhone to the Android phone. This improved process has made it much easier to transition my habits and conversations, which is often a major pain point when switching.

I regularly swap from iPhone to Android when reviewing devices, a process that’s usually so cumbersome and prone to breaking my chats that I typically prefer to just set up an Android phone from stock or rollover a prior Android backup.

But as part of Samsung’s July Unpacked event, where the company unveiled the $1,200 Z Flip 8 alongside the $1,900 Z Fold 8 and $2,100 Z Fold 8 Ultra, the company said that its Smart Switch app now works natively with iOS 26’s new Transfer to Android feature. And compared with the old way – where you also needed to install Smart Switch on an iPhone and hope your data made its way over – this new process is significantly streamlined and transferred more than I expected.

Apple’s iPhone is now directly involved

It’s strange that the iPhone can now directly help when switching to an Android phone, but Apple’s direct assistance appears to be key to bringing over so much of my data more easily than before.

As with many Android phone setup processes, after first booting up the device, I selected the option to transfer from an iPhone. Historically, the next step would be hardwiring the phones together with a cable. Instead, Samsung directs you to open the Settings menu on an iPhone, select Transfer to Android, and a QR code scan connects the phones wirelessly.

On the iPhone, I opted to only transfer my text message history and app data, since information like my photos, videos and contacts is already synced through Google services and will automatically appear on an Android phone. iOS then prompted me to continue the process from the Android phone, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8 started showing transfer progress as it received my data from the iPhone.

The process wasn’t completely seamless: after 15 minutes, I received a message saying the transfer failed and I should try again. Despite the warning, it had indeed worked — my data had rolled over, and the phone was already downloading the Google Play equivalents to my iPhone apps. Even better, the home screen already had its apps organized identically to how I had my iPhone home screens laid out, and replaced apps like Apple Health and the Apple Watch app with Samsung equivalents. I did need to add weather and calendar widgets, but not having to rearrange my home screens is a big time-saver whenever I swap phones.

I wasn’t done with the transfer yet. I wanted to go a little further and try to convert the iPhone’s physical SIM card into an eSIM that could be transferred to the Flip 8. While last year’s Pixel 10 phones supported an eSIM transfer from iPhone to Android, most other Android phones haven’t immediately followed suit. I got this started in the cellular settings menu on the Flip 8, which generated a QR code I scanned on my iPhone to sync the devices wirelessly again. 

I followed the prompts, but the first attempt failed, displaying a note that I may need to contact my phone carrier. That turned out to be a temporary issue, though, as I simply made another attempt following the same prompts — and it worked! The phone number previously on the physical SIM card had been converted and beamed over to the Flip 8 as an eSIM.

Chats will still need a little work

The biggest complaint about switching from an iPhone to an Android phone is how it affects leaving iMessage — especially group chats. Last year, my colleague, CNET video producer Carly Marsh, attempted to switch from an iPhone 12 Mini to a Motorola Razr, and, to her horror, many of her group chats splintered into a billion side chats.

This new process has substantially ironed out that transition from iMessage chats to RCS chats, but I did notice a few issues. On the one hand, the vast majority of my chat history made the move, including group chats with their fun nicknames (my friends recently made a group chat nicknamed after the reality TV show Love Island). The media within those chats was less consistent: one of the first baby photos a friend sent to me appears to have stayed on the iPhone.

Samsung’s setup process emphasizes that you need to deregister your phone number from both iMessage and FaceTime to avoid losing text messages, but I still missed some initial messages after the device transition. When a friend or group first sent a text after I switched phones, I didn’t receive it, though I did receive follow-ups. 

Outside of these initial hiccups, RCS appears to be working rather well as an iMessage replacement, especially as features like encryption and improved media message support between the iPhone and Android continue to develop. And since I’m now able to text from the Flip 8’s smaller display while closed, it’s nice to just focus on addressing those texts with that cover screen without lighting up a larger screen.

A much better transfer process, but it can get better

I’d say the switch from an iPhone to the Galaxy Z Flip 8 took me about 3 hours from start to finish, with much of that time spent waiting for the rest of my apps to download and logging into them to finish setting up. This might sound like a lot of work, but compared to horror stories where text message chains have also blown up along the way, this was pretty breezy.

We should be seeing this improved process on more phones outside of Samsung’s new Galaxy devices. Android Community Engagement Manager Mishaal Rahman posted a list on Reddit of ways Android 17’s updated Android Switch should improve the move from iOS on Pixel phones and other devices, with the eSIM transfer I tested being one of the newest features. 

I’m hopeful that, in time, some of these remaining bugs will get worked out as this new process improves. For instance, getting a more nuanced message if the connection process got interrupted but most of your data did make the transfer would be more helpful than a note that the entire process failed and to start over. And there must be a way to transition out of iMessage to Android without missing any texts — that’d be my top priority.

How to Remove a Virus From Your Mac Without Losing Data


How Can I Remove a Virus From My Mac Without Losing Data in Frisco, TX?

Yes, you can remove a virus from your Mac without losing data, but the safest approach is to stop using the computer immediately and have it professionally cleaned before attempting major repairs or reinstalling macOS. Professional malware removal protects your files, identifies hidden threats, and reduces the risk of permanent data loss.

Mac users often believe their computers are immune to viruses, but today’s malware targets macOS more than ever before. At PC Geeks, we help homeowners, students, and businesses throughout Frisco, TX safely remove malware while protecting valuable documents, photos, videos, and business files. Our technicians begin by assessing the infection, securing important data, and using professional-grade tools to eliminate threats without unnecessary risk. Whether you’re near The Star, Stonebriar Centre, or anywhere else in Frisco, our goal is simple: restore your Mac safely while preserving the information that matters most.

Professional Mac Virus Removal That Protects Your Data

Removing malware is only part of the job. The bigger challenge is ensuring your important files survive the process.

Many online guides recommend deleting system files, using Terminal commands, or reinstalling macOS. While these methods may eliminate malware, they can also erase important data or make recovery much more difficult if performed incorrectly.

Professional technicians follow a safer process that prioritizes both security and data preservation before making significant system changes.

How do you know if your Mac has a virus?

Many infections begin subtly before becoming obvious.

Common warning signs include:

  • Unexpected pop-up ads
  • Browser redirects to unfamiliar websites
  • Applications opening on their own
  • Slower-than-normal performance
  • Excessive fan noise or overheating
  • Security warnings that appear fake
  • Unknown programs installed without permission
  • Frequent crashes or freezing

According to Malwarebytes’ State of Malware report, Macs continue to experience increasing numbers of adware, browser hijackers, and potentially unwanted programs that disrupt performance and compromise privacy. While traditional viruses remain less common than on Windows PCs, malware targeting macOS continues to evolve.

If you notice several of these symptoms at once, avoid downloading random “Mac cleaner” applications, as many are scams themselves.

Can I remove a Mac virus myself without losing files?

Sometimes, yes. However, there is significant risk if the infection is severe.

Simple browser hijackers or unwanted applications may be removable manually. More advanced malware can hide in login items, launch agents, browser extensions, and system processes.

DIY removal can accidentally:

  • Delete important files
  • Corrupt user accounts
  • Remove legitimate system components
  • Trigger ransomware behavior in rare cases
  • Make data recovery more difficult

The safest choice is having your data secured before any cleanup begins.

Why is professional malware removal safer?

Professional repair shops prioritize protecting your information before eliminating the infection.

A typical professional workflow includes:

  1. Assess the infection and determine its severity.
  2. Back up recoverable data whenever possible.
  3. Scan the system using trusted security tools.
  4. Remove malware, adware, and malicious extensions.
  5. Verify system integrity.
  6. Install security updates.
  7. Confirm personal files remain intact.
  8. Recommend preventive measures.

This approach greatly reduces the chance of accidental data loss while ensuring hidden threats are completely removed.

At PC Geeks, we believe every repair should begin with protecting what matters most, your data.

What should you avoid if your Mac is infected?

Certain actions can make the situation much worse.

Avoid:

  • Factory resetting your Mac immediately
  • Downloading unknown “virus cleaners”
  • Clicking pop-up security warnings
  • Paying fake Apple support alerts
  • Ignoring repeated browser redirects
  • Continuing to log into banking or shopping websites
  • Disconnecting backup drives without checking for malware

If sensitive accounts have been accessed, changing passwords from a clean device is also recommended.

According to Apple, keeping macOS updated, enabling built-in security features like Gatekeeper and XProtect, and downloading software only from trusted sources significantly reduces malware risk.

Why Frisco Mac Users Choose Professional Help

Frisco continues to grow with remote workers, entrepreneurs, students, and families relying on Macs every day.

Whether you’re working from home near Panther Creek, attending classes, or managing a business close to Legacy Drive or Preston Road, losing important files can be far more costly than the repair itself.

Professional service provides:

  • Safe malware removal
  • Data-first repair procedures
  • Faster diagnosis
  • Expert recommendations
  • Reduced chance of recurring infections
  • Peace of mind

Instead of guessing which online guide is trustworthy, you receive a customized solution based on your Mac’s condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Macs really get viruses?

Yes. Although macOS includes strong built-in security, Macs can still become infected with malware, adware, browser hijackers, spyware, and other malicious software.

Will removing a virus delete my files?

Not necessarily. Professional virus removal is designed to preserve your data whenever possible by backing up important files before making major system changes.

Should I reinstall macOS if my Mac has malware?

Only if necessary. Many infections can be removed without reinstalling macOS. A professional evaluation determines the safest and least disruptive solution.

How long does professional Mac virus removal take?

Most malware removal services can be completed within one to two days, depending on the severity of the infection and whether additional data recovery or hardware diagnostics are needed.

Protect Your Mac Before a Virus Becomes a Bigger Problem

If your Mac is running unusually slow, displaying suspicious pop-ups, or behaving differently than normal, don’t risk losing your important files with DIY fixes. Let the experienced team at PC Geeks safely remove the infection while protecting your valuable data. We proudly serve homeowners and businesses throughout Frisco, TX with professional Mac virus removal and computer repair services.

7 Benefits of Architectural 3D Walkthroughs for Home Builders and Design Teams


Nowadays, architectural 3D walkthroughs are becoming more than just a ‘nice-to-have ’; they’re quickly turning into essential tools, especially in fields like engineering and architecture. People don’t just want to imagine their future home or building anymore because their ideas come to pass. Every builder can benefit from architectural 3D walkthroughs since they transform the designs into a virtual tour that doesn’t physically exist.

Instead of relying on flat blueprints or technical drawings, builders make use of technology such as a video presentation or animation, like a virtual tour. It is very beneficial for all clients, engineers, and architects to have a better understanding of the design, spot potential issues early on, see the purpose of the spaces and surfaces along with the designs, and create an entire picture prior to construction. By connecting businesses with experienced 3D rendering and visualization specialists, Cad Crowd helps make this process more efficient, accurate, and impactful.

RELATED: 3D Rendering Techniques in Architecture: CGI Conundrum for Architectural Companies

The following are the 7 simple ways Architectural 3D Walkthroughs can help any home builders and architectural design firms:


🚀 Table of contents


1. It can help clients visualize the final project  

2D floor plans and blueprints can be pretty hard to understand, especially for clients who are not familiar with them, but using a 3D walkthrough, everything is clearer and easier to grasp. It shows a realistic view of every project or design. With its utilization, clients can actually see what their future home and building will look like.

They get a more realistic feel of the space: how rooms connect, and the perfect placement of every piece of furniture. This makes it a really useful tool for bringing designs to life and helping people visualize their space. By this, it can be much more efficient to imagine a home when they can perfectly experience what it is like to live in a house they are building.

2. It improves communication with clients

When architects try to explain their designs, it can be hard for clients to really get it. Even if the architect does a great job of explaining, the client might still feel confused or overwhelmed. Yet, with the use of a 3D walkthrough, it will result in a better comprehension of the clients rather than imagining spaces or reading plans.

Using a 3D walkthrough, everyone can clearly see the sizes of the rooms, design details, and even the  interior and exterior views of the house. Having to make use of the walkthrough can help both the client and architects to create a smooth collaborative process, and assess adjustments  before the issues that could be found.  

3. Makes marketing more powerful and efficient  

In architecture and construction, it’s not just about the work you do but also how you show it off. A strong presentation can leave a lasting impression, and sometimes, it’s what makes one firm apart from the rest. That is where a 3D walkthrough really comes in. They let the professionals showcase their projects in a way that’s engaging, easy to understand, whether it’s on a website, social media or during a client presentation. Since the objective is to attract potential customers, it is also crucial to apply the statement “first impressions last.”

A 3D walkthrough is more than just a tour;  it’s a marketing tool that potential buyers can be attracted to even if it contains simple images. In addition, it is also important to take note that every project must be presented in a professional manner. By being professional, you are making sure that the designs you are presenting reflect the identity of the firm behind them.  

4. Helps detect design problems as early as possible  

Catching designs before construction starts is important. Having to ensure that the designs are suitable for what is being envisioned. Once building process starts, even small design issues, like narrow hallways, poor lighting placements, or inefficient use of space, can quickly turn into costly and time-consuming problems.  

By exploring a design in a more realistic way, it ensures that the project will detect problems that are identified in the early stages, and it will save time and resources, as the professionals can proceed to the later stages. 3D walkthrough makes it possible to have an experience to move inside the design, clients can virtually roam around and see the whole setup being made. By roaming every component, it would be possible to detect any issues that can be a big problem if not noticed earlier.

5. Speeds up client approvals

One of the biggest causes of project delays is client approval. When the architects relay the information to the clients, they often have a hard time reading the design, as it eats up a lot of time due to revisions and changes for every part that the clients do not approve of. Having the clients approve the designs or the project is the most important aspect of the process.

By the use of a 3D walkthrough, understanding can easily be done by the clients, and decision-making becomes much easier. With 3D walkthroughs, revisions can reduce confusion because the clients can feel more confident about any view and side of the design, which can speed up the approval process.  

6. Improve design qualities

Architectural 3D walkthroughs go beyond just showing a design, they actually help improve. Instead of relying on guesswork, a 3D walkthrough makes it possible to have an accurate system, which can be viewed virtually. It can help to spot every flaw and error right before the project starts construction. Using a 3D walkthrough, designers can easily test  out different ideas such as changing the layout, experimenting with lighting, or rearranging furniture design to see what works best. This freedom to explore allows them to come up with a design that is not only visually appealing but also functional and meets the client’s needs.

RELATED: Visualize Your Dream Home With 3D Architectural Visualization Services

Even in small details, where sometimes it can be overlooked, such as the height of the ceilings, the placement of the rooms’ 3D walkthrough becomes easier to adjust to these factors. Because of this, the problem is making the workflow systematic and coherent. Overall, 3D walkthroughs make it possible to allow every architect, designer, and even the clients to guarantee that their final  designs meet their standards, which results in more productive, effective, and attractive designs.  

7. Access to global talent and expertise  

When building a structure or a project, it is very important to seek the help of experts and professionals, especially when safety is the number one priority. With the help of these experts, it is much easier and makes it possible to achieve the plans in reality.  

Rather than recruiting a team to stay in the company, you might need to hire and train an in-house team, which can take a long time, effort, and resources. This can sometimes delay the project. However, when professionals and experts who are specialized in a field make progress on the project quickly. One platform that companies could seek is Cad Crowd. Cad Crowd has experts who specialize in CAD services, such as designs and 3D visualizations model. Hiring Cad Crowd experts allows for flexibility to happen and makes the companies be in the competitive industry, carrying quality and standardized projects.

Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40,000 project at Amazon announces involvement of popular horror director, reminding everyone it still exists



In 2024, Games Workshop’s plan for a line of movies and TV shows in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, with Henry Cavill on board as both star and executive producer, resulted in a deal with Amazon Studios. In case you’d forgotten about it, or started to have doubts it was going anywhere, Games Workshop made sure to bring it up in the company’s annual financial report for 2026.

“This is a long-term partnership with Amazon”, the report says, “and these adaptations will take years to bring successfully to market. The project continues in line with our contractual agreement with Amazon. This same contract prohibits us from sharing certain specific details or commercial terms. What we can share is that Amazon has brought onboard United Artists (UA) and Mike Flanagan. Vertigo and Henry Cavill remain involved as they have been for some time. Having completed initial outlines, Mike should soon be moving on to script.”

12 keychain gadgets worth carrying every day (and why they’re worth it)


The pocket-sized She’s Birdie is a personal safety alarm with a built-in, wildly loud siren. I’ve carried this on my keychain for almost 7 years, and it’s a great investment for college students, parents with small children, older adults, and more, but for about $30, I recommend everyone scoop one up. 

When the top pin of the Birdie is pulled out, a 130db siren sounds and a strobe light flashes for up to 40 minutes. To put that in perspective, a 130db sound is equivalent to a jackhammer and nearly equal to the sound of a jet engine in the distance, according to the Hearing Health Foundation

Also: My favorite personal safety alarm is as loud as a jackhammer

Facing a 17% review score on Steam, survival game dev says sorry about the bugs and promises to add a way to, uh, save the game



One-man band Justin Jager of studio Extrude made and, on July 27, shipped a video game: zombie survival game The Left Behind. “It did not go as I hoped for,” the dev explains in a Steam post which went up as the game was pelted with user reviews averaging just 17% positive, earning it the dreaded red review text: “Very Negative.”

“It’s clear from your feedback that I didn’t deliver the zombie survival experience you were expecting, as reflected in the 17% review score on Steam,” Jager agrees. “There is a lot of feedback in those reviews that I take with me. I learned a lot yesterday and take all that experience with me.”
