Manti Te’o: Hov is probably not going to not like me for this, but I didn't really listen to Jay-Z like that. This conversation has been edited for clarity.ĮSQUIRE: If you were a JAY-Z album, which one would you be? As the film explores a connection that irreparably changed Te'o's life, what emerges is a fascinating portrait of two people who felt alone and unsure in themselves-and found something they were missing in each other. The result, Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist, premiered on Netflix this Tuesday. The directors managed to convince Tuiasosopo to tell her side of the story as well. I'm not ashamed of anything." So he does it. ![]() "I felt like, OK, I'm at a place where I'm ready to tell it. Why relive it all? "I talked to my parents, I talked to my team, and I realized that there are a lot of people out there that still have questions," Te'o says. The former Notre Dame star was finally feeling something resembling peace at the time. He wanted to make a documentary about the worst year of Te'o's life. In 2020, a film director, Tony Vainuku, called Te'o. Things started to feel a little bit better. "If Jay-Z says I've got to reveal it, then what I'm going to do is every time somebody asks me about it? I'm going to have those hard conversations and tell them everything." That gave him strength. "From that moment on, I was like, OK, I'm trying to heal from this thing," Te'o says over Zoom in August. Hov, voice carrying through an entire stadium, preaches, "You cannot heal what you don't reveal." Te'o, having gone through something wholly unimaginable, yet only possible in the era of clicks and smartphones, hears something he'll never forget. Turns out, Ronaiah "Naya" Tuiasosopo invented an online persona named Lennay Kekua and became close with Te'o through this alter ego before faking her own death-then, Deadspin broke the story. Second? When the girlfriend turned out to be a hoax. The first? At Notre Dame, where Te'o not only blazed his way into Heisman trophy contention, but did so while playing for his grandmother and girlfriend, both recently passed away. Te'o played for the New Orleans Saints, at the time, still lodged in the damn near never-ending come down from that one time, you're surely well-aware, when he was the biggest story in sports, two times over. He hasn’t played in the NFL since then.Manti Te'o's healing began-where else?-at a JAY-Z concert. He then played for the New Orleans Saints from 2017 to 2019 before ending up with the Chicago Bears in 2020. Te’o played for the then-San Diego Chargers from 2013 to 2016. I used to laugh at the jokes too but after seeing the emotional toll it took on him and the selfishness behind the hoax, I’ve changed my mindset. Everyone loves the tea, drama, and jokesĪfter watching the Manti Te’o doc on Netflix I gotta say I am so impressed at his positivity through everything. – If it had happened today, I unfortunately think the internet would’ve reacted the same. Much respect for him after watching the Netflix documentary and all he went through. #MantiTeoįormer #Chargers 2nd rd pick Manti Te'o and his real wife. Please accept my apology for any joke I ever made about you in the past. Amazingly tough-minded person, and a testament to perseverance.

![]() ![]() With Phil, Jim, and Harvey Frand (our line producer, another great guy who taught me a lot), I watched the dailies every single day.

I didn’t just write the script, deliver it, and walk away. I wrote five scripts during my season and a half on TZ, and I was deeply involved in every aspect of each. The moment I arrived, an elephant threw me into the deep end. And it’s not just about the dialogue, the structure, and the language of the script. O’Bannon, the amazing Alan Brennert, Michael Cassutt, and a host of fantastic freelance translators. I learned in the writers’ room from Phil himself and the amazing staff he put together for TZ: Jim Crocker and Rockne S. “What I knew about television production when I got off that plane in Burbank was… well, so I can’t think of an pithy analogy.

Initially only available Firefox, it quickly gained traction and is now available for all mainstream browsers. Meanwhile, Adblock Plus was the first ‘proper’ ad blocking extension released. It began life as a Chrome extension before being made available to other browsers. Hackers just love breaking into them an injecting their own malware-infested ads to be served on legitimate websites.Īdblock was originally inspired by Adblock Plus and was programmed by an individual rather than a collective like its contemporary. Those ads can be annoying, infected, annoying, compromised, annoying and irrelevant to the site itself. Instead, websites rely on third-party ad services that dynamically serve advertisements from a remote server. If websites hosted their own ads or had tighter control over what ads they displayed, there would be no such thing as ad blockers as they wouldn’t be necessary. In my view, it isn’t the ad blockers that deny websites their revenue, it is the broken ad system itself. However, many websites depend on ad revenue to survive and there is a school of thought that says ad blockers deny them that revenue. ![]() Ads are becoming more invasive, more annoying and are working harder to get your attention, all of which gets in the way of the content you’re trying to enjoy.

Do you want to be able to sync and backup specific files, or are you ok with doing a whole disk or partition backup? Different services approach it in different ways, with some offering a complete mirror of your hard drive, while others allow you to use your storage space as a virtual drive, which is great if you want a seamless experience. Keep in mind that usually a physical hard drive restore is targeted toward businesses, or power users, rather than the average consumer, so while it’s good to have it available, it shouldn’t be a deciding factor.įinally, and equally important, is the granular control of your backup. ![]() You also want to consider how you’d like to restore your files in a potential worst-case scenario and whether you want a service that will deliver you a physical drive to do the restore. The difference is that some only keep versions for 15 days, others keep them for 30, and some can even keep them longer than that. One example is file versioning, which nearly every online backup service offers. Once you’ve figured out those two fundamental questions, the next thing is to look at the features you need. Do you need more than 1TB-that’s 1000GB-of storage? Online backup services go up exponentially in price the more storage you need. When choosing a backup service, consider your actual storage needs. Instead, you want to back up important documents and pictures that are irreplaceable. You may not need as much storage as you think because you probably don’t want to back up movies, music, or applications that you could easily get back again from a simple internet download. How much storage you need will depend on how many devices you need to back up and how many files you tend to back up. If you need to back up multiple devices, there are online backup services available, but it does limit your options. The most important thing you need to do before picking an online backup service is to think in detail about what platforms you use and how much storage you’ll need.įor example, are you backing up a Mac or Windows computer? Or are you looking to back up a Linux or mobile device, which limits your options? Furthermore, do you want to back up your mobile device and online accounts like your email or OneDrive? Could you get away with backing up just one device? That’s great, because many services only offer a subscription for one device, no matter what the plan or price is.
