Carl Weathers Super Bowl Commercial Will Still Air, Family Consulted On Edits
Carl Weathers isn’t done acting just yet. The popular Mandalorian and Rocky star passed away last week, leaving behind memorable characters and an iconic resume. Weathers recently appeared in teasers for FanDuel’s Super Bowl commercial focused on the outcome of a live field goal attempt by former NFL star Rob Gronkowski. Despite his death, Weathers will still appear in the final commercial, albeit not as originally envisioned.
Variety reports though that FanDuel intends to make some unspecified changes to its commercial after consulting with Weathers’ family. “The family has been very supportive that they would still like to see Carl in the work,” FanDuel’s Andrew Sneyd said.
“We need to change what we are doing in the Bowl. The live event itself carries forward and as is. Rob will kick the field goal and he will be even more inspired to make it. He really enjoyed meeting Carl and found him to be such an optimistic and energetic person,” added Sneyd. Gronkowski’s kick will take place just before gameplay starts, with a follow-up commercial to appear during the Super Bowl. The changes are focused on how Weathers is portrayed in the commercial.

You can still use TikTok even if it’s banned

With a TikTok ban hitting Montana and dozens of other, more nuanced bans of the app across the world, there’s a chance you might see yourself in a situation in which you want to scroll through your FYP amidst a ban. Enter: VPNs and cross-state travel.
Where is TikTok banned?
First, let’s back up: The U.S. government has been threatening some kind of TikTok ban since at least 2019 when Senators Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, and Chuck Schumer asked the government to investigate the app over its connection with the Chinese government. (Its developer, ByteDance, is a Chinese company.) Eventually presidents — including both Donald Trump and Joe Biden — looked into banning the app. But no bans have been as strict or aggressive as the ban in Montana.
On Wednesday, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill into law that bans TikTok in the state. The law will go into effect on January 1, 2024, but only if the courts don’t stop it by then. Users can still download the app, upload content, and scroll along for the next seven months without a worry, but if — and that’s a big if — the ban does go through, you’ll have to jump through some hoops.
How to use TikTok in a banned state
We can’t recommend that you use TikTok if it is banned, but there aren’t currently any laws that would punish users for doing so.
Currently, the only active TikTok bans in the U.S., other than the Montana drama, are on government devices and on most public university campuses. This basically means that you can’t download or use TikTok on your government-owned cell phones and, if you’re on a college campus, you can’t use the university WiFi while using the app.
To use TikTok while avoiding the ban on university campuses you could, hypothetically, use cellular data or personal WiFi — as long as it isn’t on a university-owned device or on university WiFi, you’re good. That’s a bit different if the app is banned across an entire state, though.
If a ban actually goes through in Montana, users can, hypothetically, travel to other states or countries to download TikTok, but the easiest way to get around a ban is to, hypothetically, use a VPN. A VPN, or virtual private network, cloaks your current location. Folks use it to watch shows that aren’t available in their country or unblock Pornhub in Utah, so it’s sure to be a useful tool if TikTok bans go into effect.
There are plenty of VPNs available — free or paid, as apps or browser extensions — so pick your poison.
Do business Macs still need to run Windows?
In January 2006, Apple took an important step toward success in the business world — it began to transition the Mac onto Intel processors. In so doing, the company paved the way for Macs to natively run Windows and Windows applications. Initially this capability came via Apple’s dual-boot system, called Boot Camp, followed by Parallels Desktop, software that ran Windows in a virtual environment. Either way, it eliminated an obstacle — the need to run applications not built for the Mac’s operating system — that had kept the Mac out of most workplaces.
