Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper’s Reimagining of a Timeless TV Show Rises in Popularity on Netflix

More than ten years after its original release, “The A-Team” is experiencing a resurgence on Netflix — and viewers can’t seem to get enough. So much so, in fact, that this 2010 film reboot of the beloved TV show featuring Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has soared to #8 on Netflix’s Top 10 movies list just days after becoming available. The franchise, once a hallmark of 1980s television, is packed with nostalgia and excessive action, which undoubtedly resonates with audiences. It’s also quite rare for a decade-old reboot to break into the Netflix rankings — but as Colonel Hannibal Smith might say: “I love it when a plan comes together.”

The addition of “The A-Team” to Netflix’s current Top 10 movies list reflects a trend we are increasingly observing with the platform, where most film content consists of older titles rather than those branded as Netflix originals. This is entirely logical, as acquiring existing content is typically simpler than creating an original.

Directed by Joe Carnahan, “The A-Team” joins other classic films currently featured in the streamer’s Top 10 ranking, including the 2025 release “I Know What You Did Last Summer” at #4 and the 2001 Brittany Murphy thriller “Don’t Say a Word” at #5.

Regarding “The A-Team” franchise itself: The narrative revolves around a band of ex–Special Forces soldiers who find themselves unjustly accused of a crime — which compels them to flee and utilize their military expertise to assist those in need while, naturally, avoiding arrest. Both the original 1980s TV series and the film remake adhere to the same concept and showcase the cunning plans of cigar-smoking Colonel Hannibal Smith, whose crew includes the suave “Face,” tough-as-nails B.A. Baracus, and the eccentric pilot Murdock.

As for audience reactions, moviegoers appear to appreciate the film for what it truly is — essentially two hours of entertainment, meant to be enjoyed lightheartedly. Accordingly, the reboot currently holds a modest 66% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on over 100,000 user ratings. One reviewer commends it on the site: “This movie was fun as hell — mission accomplished!”

Spotify Facing Crashes on Android; Company Working on a Solution

support documentation indicates that engineers are actively addressing the freezes and crashes encountered by Android users. As of this writing, there is no official timeline available for the release of a fix, and with a lack of clear reasoning for this issue, users have limited options for attempting a self-resolution.

It seems, at least according to the support page, that the issue might be somehow linked to connections with certain Wi-Fi networks. Therefore, if you are experiencing an unresponsive Spotify application, consider disconnecting from Wi-Fi to check if that alleviates the issue.

How to Efficiently Utilize ChatGPT in Daily Scenarios: 5 Key Recommendations

maximizing your experience with ChatGPT each time you engage with it. Implement the suggestions below, and we believe you’ll observe a change in how effectively the tool operates for you.

OpenAI’s Latest Browser Merges ChatGPT Search with Google-Style Features

After months of speculation, OpenAI has finally launched its ChatGPT Atlas browser on Tuesday, making it accessible globally, albeit exclusively for Mac users. The company organized a short livestream event to showcase the primary functionalities of ChatGPT Atlas, presenting a few significant enhancements for ChatGPT Search that closely resemble the Google Search experience. Currently, the new ChatGPT Search features are limited to the ChatGPT Atlas browser, but this update indicates OpenAI’s commitment to the realm of online search. It wouldn’t be surprising if these features soon extend to ChatGPT Search interactions within the ChatGPT app and on third-party browsers.

In 2025, online search appears to be a feature that many ChatGPT users take as a given. This functionality is crucial for an AI chatbot, as it allows the AI to conduct online research to attempt to answer queries as accurately as possible. Most of the time, you won’t need to click the “Web search” button in the ChatGPT composer; the AI is programmed to know when to do so. Additionally, OpenAI introduced a ChatGPT Search product that functions beyond the ChatGPT web app. You can set ChatGPT Search as your default search engine in compatible browsers, replacing Google Search. This is the online search experience that ChatGPT Atlas enhances.

How Atlas enhances ChatGPT Search

OpenAI’s chief designer, Ryan O’Rouke, showcased ChatGPT Atlas during the livestream, presenting new ChatGPT Search functionalities along the way. He mentioned that OpenAI recognizes that search is “one of the fundamental flows in a browser for exploring the internet,” and searches can sometimes consist of only a few keywords, which might not suffice for a chatbot like ChatGPT to deliver a meaningful response.

Consequently, OpenAI revamped ChatGPT Search to provide a tabbed interface akin to Google Search. The first tab (the home tab) delivers a ChatGPT chat interface, similar to what one would experience currently when utilizing ChatGPT Search. You can click on links to access websites and continue interacting with the AI by posing further questions. Google’s AI Mode in Google Search bears resemblance to this ChatGPT Search format.

However, Atlas users seeking a more conventional search can navigate to the other tabs, which comprise traditional search results, images, videos, and news articles. This mirrors the organization of Google Search. The tab menu at the top of Google Search allows you to transition between AI Mode, conventional search results, shopping, images, news, and more. While the Google Search tabbed menu is broader, OpenAI has not attempted to replicate the Google Search experience tab by tab within ChatGPT Atlas.

Speaking of Google, some of the search results featured in ChatGPT Atlas may be driven by Google Search. At least that is the impression given by the prominent Google link positioned on the right at the top of the results. To experiment with ChatGPT Search in Atlas, you must install the OpenAI browser on a Mac.

Three Android Tablets to Steer Clear Of Based on User Feedback

Android smartphones are affordable and significantly less expensive because manufacturers have hidden agendas — such as installing malware and harvesting your information. Previously, Android devices from China were caught concealing malware that compromised users’ data and finances. However, this phenomenon isn’t limited to phones — it extends to all Android gadgets, including tablets.

Furthermore, devices are sometimes priced low because they are manufactured cheaply, featuring internal components that do not ensure a satisfying user experience. Regrettably, those who purchase such devices might find themselves dealing with a subpar gadget. For others, especially when owners share their reviews, this can help identify which Android tablets and devices to avoid. Just as it is wise to steer clear of Android phones that lack official Android updates or come with dubious applications pre-installed, there are also tablets to be wary of. Always be sure to conduct thorough research before acquiring a new device. Examining comments, reviews, and insights from current owners can assist in highlighting and avoiding the least desirable options. Here are a few Android tablets to think twice about, as indicated by their users.

User Insights on the Efficiency of TSA’s Digital ID System

with Apple’s Digital ID capability), Google Wallet, or Samsung Wallet, but you can also utilize your state-issued application. What’s noteworthy is that even with your digital ID readily available, you still need to present an “acceptable compliant physical ID,” such as a passport or driver’s license (as per TSA). 

As with most new technology rollouts, there are initial hurdles and technical challenges, and feedback from those who have experienced the new verification system indicates this is indeed the case here as well. Numerous community members on Reddit have shared their viewpoints and stories regarding how the new digital ID system operates in practice. Some of these accounts are not particularly positive. Evidently, there’s a significant amount of user error involving travelers, officers, and agents, compounded by complications linked to the necessary devices. A few have successfully accessed the service after leaving their wallets and physical IDs at home, which poses risks. Others pointed out the importance of having a stable and functioning data or mobile connection to utilize the required mobile applications. Generally speaking, it appears that results can widely vary (your mileage may vary).
