This article originally appeared on Complex.com

Celebrity relationships have always been a focal point of public attention, with entire industries devoted to following and tracking every single aspect of a person’s life. Few have drawn more fervor than the one between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, as their relationship—established Hollywood A-lister falls in love with rapidly ascending ingenue on their movie set—is a tabloid meet-cute staple. It’s a fairytale, until it’s not.

As the relationship progressed, there were whispers of darkness creeping in around the edges; allegations of abuse emerged, with startling reports of violent rages and physical abuse, later backed by photo and video evidence.

After a few years of silence, the Pirates of the Caribbean and Aquaman stars are once again back in the spotlight as more information comes out about the turmoil surrounding the relationship.

To put everything in perspective, we’ve pieced together a timeline of events charting the meteoric rise and fall of the couple. We’d also like to state that the events of physical abuse described herein might be triggering for some to read. Considering the ongoing court case, there’s likely to be more startling information to come—but here’s we are so far.

Whether For a Date or the Gym, Dollar Shave Club’s $6 Ball Spray Keeps Guys Fresh Down There

As a man, there are few things worse than just being drenched in sweat in your, uh, nether regions. There’s a reason why so many men dread that swamp-like feeling that creeps in on blisteringly hot summer days. It’s just unpleasant, and it will make any man feel gross. Sure, you can invest in some breezier shorts, but that won’t eliminate the problem if you’re in a situation that requires pants and underwear, like, say, a first date.

So what’s a man to do about ball sweat?

With 'Palm Springs', Andy Samberg Proves He's Always Been Ahead of the Curve

This article originally appeared on Complex.com

For millennials such as myself, Saturday Night Live’s run from 2008 through 2013 largely defined our generation’s comedic personas. The core, absurdly talented MVPs of that era like Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Seth Myers, and Fred Armisen have left the show and springboarded to greater heights. But for as memorable as those performers are, the cast member who quickly came to represent the millennial sense of humor, and in some ways help define it, was Andy Samberg. And while the actor/comedian/producer is getting his flowers for his work in Hulu and NEON’s newly released Palm Springs, diehards will tell you Samberg has always been this good—and he’s still getting better.

Everything You Need to Know About Peacock, NBCUniversal's New Streaming Service

This article originally appeared on Complex.com

So we’re back at this again, huh? Alright. What’s Peacock and why do I need another streaming service?
Set to debut on Wednesday, July 15, Peacock is a new streaming service from NBCUniversal and Comcast. Named after the infamous NBC logo, Peacock is not dissimilar from HBO Max in the sense that it aims to be a hub for NBCUniversal’s suite of properties including NBC, USA, Bravo, Universal Pictures, and more.

Much like Disney+ and HBO Max, Peacock will allow NBCUniversal and Comcast to have direct ownership of many of their properties and generate revenue off of them. This means you’re going to see a host of shows, like The Office, for example, leave other streaming platforms so that NBCUniversal can have them on their exclusive service.

Netflix's 'Dark' Concludes With Brilliantly Satisfying Series Finale

This article originally appeared on Complex.com

[Ed note: Spoilers for the entirety of Netflix’s Dark follow. You’ve been warned.]

Dark, Netflix’s first German-language original series, was initially compared to Stranger Things. It seemed like an apt association between the two at the time: a kid mysteriously vanishes in the woods of a small town located near an ominous nuclear factory. Yet as Dark continued, those initial comparisons evaporated. The series has effectively charted its own course, opting for a tale far more cerebral—while becoming a treatise on human nature and generational trauma as told through decades’ worth of story via time travel. Obsessed with stopping the forthcoming apocalypse, the main character Jonas (Louis Hofmann) works tirelessly to prevent the end of days throughout Seasons 1 and 2. However, the mistakes of the past linger well into the present and future, and any attempt to right these wrongs did the opposite, reinforcing the status quo instead. The Season 1 ploy by Ulrich (Oliver Masucci) to kill a young Helge Doppler (Tom Philipp) was never bound to work considering Helge was alive in the present day. Actions like this, among others, have proven to be inherently futile; time is undefeated after all.

Review: Lenovo’s Legion 5i Gaming Laptop Sits at the Corner of Power and Affordability

PC Gaming can feel overwhelming. I remember a failed attempt to get into PC building as a teenager, begging my dad to get me a high-end graphics card so I could play World of Warcraft… only to get the card and realize we didn’t have enough RAM or a good enough display to really make the card worth the purchase. Not to mention, we were totally at a loss for a long time as to how to install the card in the first place.

In short: if you haven’t done your research effectively, trying to build a gaming PC is a lot like diving into the ocean without really knowing how to swim. Fortunately, that’s where pre-built gaming laptops can come into play, and few are better than Lenovo’s Legion line. The latest refresh is out, and after spending some time with the Legion 5i, I can confidently say it’s a powerhouse system that won’t break your budget.

How To Uncover Hidden Cameras in Hotels, Airbnbs & Changing Rooms

Americans have always been fascinated by spycraft, thanks in large part to the Cold War era’s obsession with secret agents and spies, not to mention the cultural impact of James Bond. In the Information Era, government surveilance has become something of a joke with millennials and zoomers. We crack jokes about FBI Agents monitoring our WiFi, and we assume our smartphones are listening to every word we say. Yet there’s another kind of surveillance to worry about — hidden cameras surreptitiously placed into private spaces by sketchy landlords and perverts.

In some countries, hidden spy cameras are a constant threat, and women are especially at risk of having their most intimate moments recorded without their knowledge.
