Christmas may be over, but if you want to watch future Christmas classic The Holdovers whenever you want, you've got several options.

Released nationwide Nov. 10, The Holdovers is still screening in theaters. But if you'd prefer to have a movie night in, the film is available to rent or purchase through video on demand (VOD). On Dec. 29, The Holdovers will also be streaming on Peacock.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch The Holdovers at home.

What's The Holdovers about?

The Holdovers reunites director Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants) with actor Paul Giamatti for what Mashable's Kristy Puchko describes as "curmudgeon comedy."

Giamatti stars as Professor Hunham, a teacher at a prestigious Boston boarding school who's been tasked with watching the academy's "holdovers." These are the students staying on campus over Christmas break, like the sharp but troubled Angus (Dominic Sessa). They're joined by cafeteria manager Mary (Da'Vine Joy Randolph) who is grieving the still-fresh loss of her son in the Vietnam War. These three may put up prickly facades, but as the holiday break wears on, they may just let their guards down and learn more about one another.

After a strong premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, and an acclaimed showing at the Toronto International Film Festival, The Holdovers is shaping up to be a major player come awards season. (It's already racked up three Golden Globe nominations.) As Puchko writes, "The Holdovers is a terrific Payne film, bursting with sharp laughs and searing sweetness. Though it teeters when seeking depth in teen angst, this crackling comedy with a dramatic edge is nonetheless a crowdpleaser."

Is The Holdovers streaming?

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

The Shortcut AI Excel agent could one-shot spreadsheet jobs. Heres how to try it.

There's a new AI agent on the block for people who spend their waking hours inside spreadsheets. Navigate to Shortcut AI's website , and you'll find a page that looks almost exactly like an empty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The main difference is a sidebar chatbot that can be tasked with taking on the tedious legwork of building, say, complex financial models or competitive analyses. Because Shortcut is agentic , meaning it can handle multi-step tasks on the user's behalf, the tool can do more than just generate Excel formulas or analyze spreadsheet data. In a demo on X, Nico Christie, founder and CEO of the Shortcut AI agent, showed how the tool swapped out the data from a Microsoft distributed cash flow analysis (DCF) for Google data by looking up Google's SEC filings and populating the data in the same template. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Shortcut launched on Monday with a rather ominous tagline: "Try...

The devices also pack 12GB of RAM apiece. Shiba is said to feature a screen with a resolution of 2,268 x 1,080 pixels while Husky could be a bit larger at 2,822 x 1,344 pixels. Given the amount of RAM, however, both would likely qualify as premium devices. from TechSpot https://ift.tt/cefMDJW via
