A potential plot setting for Season 6 of Money Heist

  Money Heist had its last run on 3 December, 2021 with the release of the final episodes of Season 5. While the makers of the show insist this was the last season, my gut feeling says that international popularity can be a strong motivation for any show to continue. But how can there be another season when Tokyo, the main protagonist, was “killed” in Season 5? Read on for a potential plot setting for Season 6… Season 6 begins with a flashback to Season 5 Episode 5. Tokyo is battling a team of special force soldiers all by herself in a bid to save her friends. Within minutes, she collapses. Cesar Gandia, the head of security at the Bank of Spain and her nemesis, finally spots his chance to get even. With his gun drawn he moves close to Tokyo to deliver the killing shot. However, Tokyo has a belt of grenades on her with all the pins removed. Gandia yells for his team to get under clover… Plot twist: As Gandia looks back to warn his team, Tokyo unbuckles the belt of grenades and darts

Running old games on Windows 10

Have you ever come across your old CDs of Dungeon Keeper , Diablo or Starcraft and wonder how much fun it would be to play them again? These games, which took away countless hours of our time and many sleepless nights with friends and family.

How to choose a good programming course on Udemy

The last decade has witnessed a tremendous rise in online learning, especially for programming courses. This is not surprising, considering that such courses offer an interesting, and far more useful hands-on approach as compared to the theoretical approach widely used in colleges. Leave alone e-learning platforms, there is a growing perception that even YouTube videos are a better guide for budding programmers than a college course or degree. I've come across many such comments in YouTube courses saying "This 15 minute video taught me more about the X programming language than 6 months at college". This is not to say that college courses/degrees are entirely useless - far from it - for many software engineering jobs, your resume will be discarded if you aren't a computer science/engineering graduate. But the growing importance of online learning in software engineering cannot be ignored anymore. Udemy is among the leading e-learning providers, for many reasons such a

Installing Combat Flight Simulator 2 (CFS2) on Windows 10

 I've always been fond of WWII combat vehicles - battleships, bombers and airplanes. However, I never had an opportunity to play a simulator which allows you to control these vehicles. I am especially fascinated by bombers, how they were used to level entire cities, destroy ammunition factories and bomb railway lines. I tried War Thunder, which, though free was a download of a whopping 37 GIGABYTES. I installed it and was really enjoying it, when I noticed that it was really taxing my low-spec laptop. So I decided to go for an older sim. I had one more problem though - I did not have a flight stick. These are pretty expensive in my country, so I had to choose a simulator which allows me to use my mouse as a controller. After a bit of Google-Fu, I ended up on a flight sim forum where a poster said that Combat Flight Simulator 2 allowed using the mouse as a controller. Turns out, I was a bit lucky - the game is now considered abandonware, which means it IS FREE TO DOWNLOAD! Combat Fl
