The Last of Us Season 2, episode 4 trailer teases Dina confronting Ellie
The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3 was an understandably quieter episode after the chaotic sob-fest that was episode 2. But from the looks of the episode 4 trailer, things are about to get hectic again.
In the clip above we're introduced to some new characters, watch Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) flee Infected through an abandoned subway car, and — right at the end — watch as Dina points a gun at Ellie.
Does that mean Ellie's been bitten again, and Dina thinks she's going to have to execute her?
New episodes of The Last of Us Season 2 premiere on HBO and Max Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.

4chan is back up, but not all features are returning
4chan is finally back up and running — mostly. The infamous imageboard initially went down two weeks ago, scattering its anonymous denizens to the winds. It has now been largely restored, with users flocking back to their familiar fetid stomping grounds. However, not all of 4chan's boards will be returning.
In the first substantial post to its official blog in eight years, 4chan's team confirmed speculation that the outage was due to a hacker, and that the source code had been compromised. Specifically, the blog stated that a hacker with a UK IP address was able to access 4chan's servers by exploiting its outdated software via a PDF upload. The hacker subsequently extracted a substantial amount of 4chan's source code, before vandalising the website and prompting moderators to shut it down.
"While not all of our servers were breached, the most important one was, and it was due to simply not updating old operating systems and code in a timely fashion," read 4chan's blog on Friday.
SEE ALSO: 4chan is down, reportedly hacked as of April 15Calling the damage "catastrophic," the blog stated that 4chan's failure to update its code was due to both an "insufficient skilled man-hours available" and a lack of funds. Unsurprisingly, it seems that advertisers are leery of associating with a website commonly described as "the cesspool of the internet," which has made acquiring the cash for new servers difficult. As such, while 4chan partially moved to new servers in the second half of last year, key functions were still being taken care of by its old hardware.
"Everything about this process took much longer than intended, which is a recurring theme in this debacle," wrote 4chan. "The free time that 4chan’s development team had available to dedicate to 4chan was insufficient to update our software and infrastructure fast enough, and our luck ran out."
4chan's two-week outage gave its development team time to patch up holes in its security, as well as start bringing on more volunteers. The blog states that 4chan's team has since replaced the compromised server, as well as updated its software. The server status checker on 4chan's blog indicated that full functionality has still not returned at time of writing, though posts on the imageboard largely appeared to be business as usual.
Yet despite this, 4chan won't ever return to its former incarnation. The ability to upload PDFs is expected to return soon, having been temporarily disabled in light of this breach. However, Flash board /f/ has been killed for good since "there is no realistic way to prevent similar exploits using .swf files." While /f/ is currently still available on 4chan's front page and navigation bar, it seems likely it will eventually be removed in light of this announcement.
Even without the hack, the death of /f/ was a long time coming. Adobe first announced it would stop supporting Flash Player back in 2017, finally declaring that it had reached the end of its life in 2020.
4chan has a controversial history and reputation, to put it lightly. Launched over two decades ago in 2003, the dubious internet stalwart became a breeding ground for memes, controversies, and movements such as hacktivist group Anonymous and far-right conspiracy theory QAnon.

The Last of Us: Ellie hides a dark secret from Dina, and who could blame her?
Last week on The Last of Us, the hit HBO series presented one of the most stressful and tragic episodes TV has ever seen. By contrast, episode three offered some truly heartwarming moments, chiefly in the blossoming relationship between Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced).
On a mission of vengeance (or justice depending on how you look at it), the two Jackson teens set forth to Seattle to track down the WLF squad that killed Joel (Pedro Pascal).
Their quest is dark, and the path is full of terrors, including Infected and slain cult members. Yet, there's some sweetness in Dina and Ellie's navigating whether their friendship is going to become something more and what that kiss in the first episode meant.
But as they bond through conversation, Ellie ducks one question from Dina, declaring its answer "too fucked-up." That question:
Who was the first person Ellie killed? Credit: Liane Hentscher / HBOBoth Ellie and Dina grew up in a world already ravaged by Infected, so killing became a crucial tool — even for kids. Sharing a horse on their way to Seattle, Dina asks Ellie the super casual post-apocalyptic getting-to-know-you question. The former FEDRA trainee brushes off the question, but Season 1, episode 7 revealed the answer: Riley (Storm Reid), Ellie's first love, was the first person she ever had to kill.
In this flashback episode from Season 1, Ellie is elated to reunite with her best friend, who'd ditched FEDRA for the Fireflies. They spend time together in an abandoned mall, clutching at whatever scraps of carefree girlhood are left in this Cordyceps-ridden world. And it was beautiful day. Then, an Infected attacked, leaving both girls bitten, but only Ellie is immune to the zombifying effects.
The episode cuts away before Riley turns. But what's implied is that Ellie watches her love become Infected, and then has to kill her. It's a terribly tragic story of doomed love, and also not a great tale to tell your new could-be girlfriend as you face untold armies of the undead. Plus, with the grief so fresh from Joel's death, Ellie's probably not willing to reopen the door to her first lost love.
The Last of Us Season 2 is now streaming on Max. New episodes air weekly on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3: Seths dramatic change from the game
In Naughty Dog's game The Last of Us, there's one character who gets a chance to try and make amends for showcasing outright bigoted behaviour. However, in the HBO series, he does a much better job.
Seth (Robert John Burke) is the Jackson resident who hurls homophobic abuse, including a slur, at Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) for kissing at the New Year's Eve dance. Seth's actions in Season 2 of The Last of Us series are just as abhorrent as they are in the game, but it's what he does afterwards that differs from Naughty Dog's version.
SEE ALSO: 'The Last of Us' Season 2: What are the differences between the game and the HBO show?In the game, the morning after the dance, Seth is forced by Jackson leader Maria (Rutina Wesley) to apologise to Ellie before she heads out on patrol with Dina. To make further amends, he offers sandwiches for the pair to take on their ride. Ellie gives these "bigot sandwiches" to Jesse (Young Mazino) instead.
In the show, Seth does much more than just offering sandwiches in episode 2. In the Jackson town meeting in episode 3, he strongly supports Ellie's proposal to take a squad to hunt down Joel's (Pedro Pascal's) killers — even before she gives her argument. And later in the episode, when Ellie and Dina are preparing to leave covertly themselves to track Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and her crew, Dina says "she knows a guy" who can hook them up with the weapons, medical supplies, and ammo they need to survive the mission.
Featured Video For You Bella Ramsey and 'The Last of Us' team talks Season 2's new characters and Joel in therapyThat guy, as Ellie realises on Jackson's fenced border, is Seth, who emerges from the dark with Dina ready to trade Ellie's gun for a sniper rifle. Seth then helps the pair escape by keeping watch for the next perimeter patrol as they slip out a side gate.
Kitting out Ellie and Dina and helping them escape on a revenge mission does not erase Seth's homophobic actions. But it's a damn sight better a progressive gesture than a couple of breakfast rolls and a forced apology.

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3: Why does Tommy say Give Sarah my love?
The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3 is chock full of poignant moments, from the subtly altered opening credits to Ellie (Bella Ramsey) scattering coffee beans at the grave of Joel (Pedro Pascal).
But while most of the sadness in the episode is understandably reserved for Ellie, Joel's brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) also gets a tear-jerker of a scene — and it contains a throwback to where it all started.
SEE ALSO: 'The Last of Us' Season 2: What are the differences between the game and the HBO show? What does Tommy say to Joel's body?Early on in the episode, Tommy visits a room where Joel is lying covered in a sheet after his brutal death. Tommy is passed a cloth by a Jackson resident that he dips in a bucket of water and uses to clean his brother's body.
As he's wiping Joel's arm, Tommy notices his smashed watch, still on his wrist. He pauses and stares at the place where his brother's face is covered by the sheet.
"Give Sarah my love," he says.
Featured Video For You 'The Last of Us' Season One recap in 60 seconds Who is Sarah, and what's the deal with the watch?It's been a while since Season 1 aired, so you could be forgiven for not remembering who Sarah is, or why the watch is significant. The two are very much connected, though, and it all links back to the show's very first episode.
Sarah (Nico Parker) is, of course, Joel's daughter, who dies at the end of episode 1 after she's shot by a soldier during the start of the cordyceps outbreak. Before she dies, one of the last things Sarah does is to get Joel's watch fixed for his birthday (as well as procuring a copy of Curtis and Viper 2, one of Joel's favourite films). This is the same watch — now broken — that Tommy sees on Joel's wrist when he's cleaning his body. It's likely what makes him think of Joel's daughter Sarah, also Tommy's niece, prompting him to ask Joel to give her his love in death.
In a moving moment later in the episode, Ellie discovers Tommy has left Joel's watch for her as a gift in their home.

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3: Why does Ellie sprinkle coffee on Joels grave?
If you thought the emotional pain had to ease off after the devastation-fest that was The Last of Us Season 2, episode 2, this week's episode clearly had other ideas.
Because although episode 3 may not have been quite as gut-churning, there were still plenty of moments to catch us out — from Tommy's (Gabriel Luna's) comment about Sarah (Nico Parker) to the subtle tweak to the show's opening credits.
Another of these moments saw Ellie (Bella Ramsey) visiting the grave of Joel (Pedro Pascal), and marking the moment with a gesture that links back to Season 1. So what exactly does Ellie do, and why is it significant? Let's break it down.
SEE ALSO: 'The Last of Us' Season 2: What are the differences between the game and the HBO show? What happens in The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3?After sneaking out of Jackson with Dina (Isabela Merced) to track down Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and her crew, the pair stop at the graveyard 10 miles south of Jackson that Tommy told Ellie about earlier in the episode. In the morning sunlight Ellie finds Joel's grave, which reads "Beloved brother and father." She crouches, opens a small sack, and sprinkles some coffee beans onto the soil.
Then she smiles, shakes her head, and places a hand on the earth. When she leaves, she has tears in her eyes.
The coffee beans clearly represent something important to her, but given that it's been a while since Season 1 aired, you'd be forgiven for forgetting exactly why.
The answer lies in Season 1, episode 4, and one of the many formative bonding moments in Joel and Ellie's relationship.
Featured Video For You 'The Last of Us' Season One recap in 60 seconds Why does Ellie sprinkle the coffee on Joel's grave?Season 1, episode 4 sees Joel and Ellie heading cross country to Kansas City. After a night camping in the woods, Ellie is woken by the rattling of liquid bubbling in a pot. She crawls over, sniffs it, and makes a face. "Urgh, what the fuck is that?" she asks.
"You don't like coffee?" responds Joel.
Later, in the truck, Ellie has more questions. "Is that seriously what those Starbucks in the QZ used to sell?"
"Well, theirs was a lot fresher than what Bill saved up, but yeah, this is what they sold," replies Joel.
"Smells like...burned shit," is Ellie's blunt feedback.
And Joel's response? Taking a long, purposeful slurp before telling Ellie to keep her eyes on the map.
Although the many tragedies the pair went through together solidified their bond, it's these light-hearted moments that Ellie clearly remembers with the most fondness.

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3s opening credits has a heartbreaking change
We're still not over the death of Joel (Pedro Pascal) but, like it or not, The Last of Us is entering a new chapter — and that means some brand new opening credits.
The change in opening credits between Season 2, episode 2 and episode 3 isn't a big revamp, but it's still pretty devastating in a subtle way.
So what's the difference?
SEE ALSO: 'The Last of Us' Season 2, episode 3: Why does Ellie sprinkle coffee on Joel's grave? How are The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3 opening credits different?Aside from the crushing absence of Pedro Pascal's name at the very start of The Last of Us' opening credits, the sequence in Season 2, episode 3 looks pretty much the same as usual: The camera winds through a morphing, cordyceps-inspired tapestry, with fungal plants sprouting into the shape of a city alongside the names of the cast and crew.
The change, however, comes right at the very end. In previous episodes, the camera moved through a spiral of fungus to show a blurry and overgrown landscape, from which two distant silhouettes — mean to represent Joel and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) — sprout up from the ground. In episode 3, however, the smaller silhouette is the only one that remains.
Featured Video For You Bella Ramsey and 'The Last of Us' team talks Season 2's new characters and Joel in therapySeeing the two shapes in previous episodes re-enforced the idea that it was Joel and Ellie against the world, two survivors struggling through a post-apocalyptic landscape together. Now, the message is clear: Ellie is on her own again. Joel is gone, and she's going to have to carve out her own path.

Apple is reportedly still working on smart glasses of some kind
Apple's augmented reality glasses may be dead (or at least on hold), but it sounds like the company is still working on a different kind of smart glasses.
Mark Gurman's latest Power On newsletter at Bloomberg (via 9to5Mac) reported that Apple is continuing work on a pair of smart glasses, just a couple of months after a different Bloomberg report indicated Apple's AR glasses were not happening anymore. According to Gurman, the glasses that are currently being worked on are more akin to Meta's Ray-Ban collaboration, in that they will be filled with tech, but will stop short of offering real augmented reality displays.
SEE ALSO: Apple plans to produce all U.S.-sold iPhones in India, report claimsGurman stated that they would be powered by Apple Intelligence and could "analyze the surrounding environment and feed information to the wearer," though to what degree it can do that is still unknown. The Meta version of this concept is largely influencer-focused and allows for glasses-based photography and Instagram live-streaming, though apparently Apple is not entirely committed to allowing photography on its glasses yet for privacy reasons.
At any rate, it'll probably be at least a couple of years before we see the fruits of all this labor, if we see it at all. Maybe the smart glasses dream will live on.
