  6. Colvin professionals reveal 5 curiosities about one of the most beautiful and desired flowers in the world. Do you know everything about peonies? Peonies are one of the most beautiful and elegant flowers that exist in the world of gardening and floral decoration. With their large petals, their vibrant colors and their unmistakable fragrance, these flowers are a true delight for the senses. But in addition to their beauty, peonies have many interesting curiosities that you probably did not know about. In this article, the professionals at Colvin tell you five fun facts about peonies that will surprise you. ORIGINS OF PEONIES: HISTORY AND SYMBOLISM Peonies have a very rich and fascinating history dating back over 2,000 years. The peony plant is believed to be native to Asia and Europe, although most species originated in China. In this country, peonies have been cultivated for more than 1,500 years and are considered a symbol of prosperity, honor and love. According to Chinese legend, the peony was named after a Greek god named Paeon, who was the physician of the gods in Greek mythology. The story goes that Paeon used the root of the peony to heal a war wound to Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. The plant was considered sacred and became a symbol of healing and protection in Greek culture. In ancient China, peonies were grown in imperial gardens and were considered a symbol of wealth and honor. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), these flowers became a symbol of royalty and were used to decorate the gardens of emperors. The Tang Dynasty is also known as the golden age of peonies, as many new varieties were cultivated and cultivation techniques were improved. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), they became one of the most po[CENSORED]r plants among the nobility and the literati. Many poets and artists created works of art inspired by it, and the plant became a po[CENSORED]r subject in literature and poetry. In Japanese culture, peonies are also highly valued and are considered a symbol of honor, love, and prosperity. The plant has been cultivated in Japan since the time of the samurai and used in tea ceremonies and festivals. Today these flowers are grown all over the world and are po[CENSORED]r for their beauty and symbolic value. THERE ARE MANY VARIETIES OF PEONIES Peonies are very po[CENSORED]r plants around the world for their beauty and symbolic value. There are more than 30 species of peonies, each with unique characteristics that make them special and desired. These are some of the most common: Shrub peonies: they are the most common peonies and are characterized by having a strong and rigid stem that makes them ideal for floral arrangements. Shrub peonies are divided into two types: early-blooming and late-blooming. Herbaceous peonies: they are the most po[CENSORED]r peonies and are characterized by weak and flexible stems that bend under the weight of the flowers. Herbaceous peonies bloom in spring, producing large, showy flowers in a wide variety of colors. Tree peonies: Also known as woody peonies, they are characterized by having a thicker and more woody stem than shrub peonies. Tree peonies can grow up to 5 feet tall and produce large, showy flowers. Double Flowering Peonies: These are peonies with a large number of petals, giving them a rose-like appearance. Double-blooming peonies are very po[CENSORED]r in floral arrangements and are highly valued for their beauty. Single-flowering peonies: These are peonies with a single row of petals, giving them a simpler, more elegant appearance. Single-bloom peonies are highly valued for their beauty and elegance. Itoh peonies: Also known as intermediate peonies, they are a combination of herbaceous and tree peonies. Itoh peonies have stronger stems than herbaceous peonies, but less woody than tree peonies. They are highly valued for their long flowering and for the wide variety of colors in which they are presented. Dwarf Peonies : These are varieties of peonies that grow to a maximum height of 12-18 inches. They are ideal for small gardens or miniature flower arrangements. Exotic Peonies: These are rare and hard-to-find varieties of peonies. Exotic peonies may have unusual shapes, rare colors, or unique patterns on the petals. They are highly valued by collectors and plant lovers. WHEN IS THE FLOWERING TIME? The flowering time of peonies varies depending on the variety and the climatic conditions of each region. In general, however, peonies typically flower in spring and early summer, although some varieties may flower later in the season. Those with early flowering are usually the first, in March or April and some of them are "Paeonia tenuifolia", "Paeonia officinalis" and "Paeonia delavayi". They tend to have smaller flowers than mid- to late-blooming peonies, but are just as beautiful and valued. Mid-blooming peonies typically bloom in late spring and early summer, between late May and early June. This group includes the po[CENSORED]r "Paeonia lactiflora", which is one of the most common and valued throughout the world. There are also other varieties such as "Paeonia suffruticosa", "Paeonia veitchii" and "Paeonia rockii" that flower in this period. Late bloomers typically flower in mid-summer, often in July or August. These peonies include varieties such as 'Paeonia lutea' and 'Paeonia ostii'. These peonies typically have larger blooms than early- or mid-blooming peonies, and are often highly fragrant. It is important to take into account that the flowering time of peonies may vary depending on the climatic conditions of each region. In some cooler areas, peonies may bloom later in the season, while in warmer areas they may bloom earlier. Also, peonies can bloom later if they are not provided with enough sunlight, water, and nutrients. In summary, the flowering time of peonies varies depending on the variety and the climatic conditions of each region. In general, however, peonies typically flower in spring and early summer, although some varieties may flower later in the season. If you want to grow peonies in your garden, it is important to research the varieties that are best suited to the climatic conditions in your region. ARTISTIC INSPIRATION: THE BEAUTY OF PEONIES Peonies are not only known for their beauty and scent, but also for their ability to inspire artists and creators around the world. For example, in traditional Chinese painting they are considered a symbol of wealth, honor, and feminine beauty. Chinese artists often depict peonies at different stages of their life cycle, from tiny buds to lush, mature flowers. The shape of peonies has also been used in Chinese calligraphy and is considered a very elegant decorative element. Apart from painting and calligraphy, peonies have also been a source of inspiration for literature. In the novel "The Peonies" by Pearl S. Buck, these flowers are a symbol of life and death, beauty and pain. The story takes place in 19th century rural China and follows a family struggling to maintain their traditions and customs amid the social and political changes taking place in the country. A very decorative flower Peonies have also been used as a decorative motif in architecture and fashion. In architecture they have been used as a decorative element in temples, palaces and other important buildings around the world. For example, the Temple of the Peony in Luoyang, China, is one of the oldest and most famous dedicated to this flower and has a large number of paintings, sculptures and other artistic objects related to it. In fashion, peonies have been used as a decorative motif in dresses, jewelry and accessories. Designers have used its shape and colors to create unique and elegant patterns and designs that have been po[CENSORED]r all over the world. A MEDICINAL FLOWER In traditional Chinese medicine, peonies have been used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of ailments and diseases. You can take advantage of almost all its parts: Peony roots have been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, such as dysentery and diarrhea, as well as to relieve menstrual pain and treat liver disease. They are also used as a sedative and to calm anxiety. The root bark is used for fever and infections, as well as to reduce inflammation and pain. The root bark is also used as an antispasmodic and to relieve muscle cramps. Peony flower can be a good remedy for disorders of the liver and gallbladder, as well as to reduce fever and inflammation. Another use it has is as a muscle relaxant and to improve blood circulation. The seeds make it possible to treat kidney and urinary disorders, as well as reduce inflammation and pain. They can also be a sedative and calm anxiety. As well as on its own, peonies, in Chinese medicine, can be combined with other herbs and plants to create more effective remedies. One of the best known is the one that mixes peony root and licorice root, and it works very well for gastrointestinal disorders; another combination is that of peony root and angelica root, which is used to treat menstrual disorders. Of course, you must be careful when using them, since some parts of this beautiful plant can be toxic in large quantities. Furthermore, it is always advisable to consult a health professional before using any herb or plant to treat an ailment or disease. https://www.elmueble.com/plantas-flores/curiosidades-sobre-peonia_51036

  7. If you like large dogs, we have bad news for you, but luckily, things can always improve. Whether you have a big or small dog, depending on your tastes, there is something you might need to know: in the animal kingdom it is governed by that rule that the bigger you are, the longer you live. Nobody expects a house mouse to live more than two years, but an African elephant can live 65 or more, and we're not even talking about the Antarctic blue whale, which can live up to 90. However, there is an exception to this rule, and that is the domestic dog. Here the rule is that the smaller you are, the longer you live. For example, the tiny Yorkshire Terrier, which has an average weight of three kilos, has an average life of 15 years. Compare it to an English Mastiff that has an average life of only eight years and can weigh 104 kilos. Why is this happening? As reported by 'Psychology Today', before tackling the question of why different breeds of dogs age at different rates, one would need to address the aging process itself. The general consensus on how we age is based on the concept of wear and tear. That explains how we age, sure, but not why we age, which could be posed as an evolutionary question: "Since some species have evolved to live longer than others, why haven't all species evolved to have greater longevity?" . Since some species have evolved to live longer than others, why haven't all species evolved to have greater longevity? The answer that evolutionary theorists give is that there are two different paths that any type of animal can "choose", based on the idea that each species has only a fixed amount of biological resources. Remembering Darwin and the fittest, it should be mentioned that these are the species that produce the largest number of healthy offspring. It sounds a bit cruel, and perhaps that is why there is another alternative theory; that of Self-Preservation: Here the genetic programming is for a slower growth rate, fewer offspring, and the maintenance of enough resources to build defenses against harmful mutations and conditions that will adversely affect the animal later in life. Live fast, be big, leave a pretty carcass A new study collected data on 164 dog breeds. It included information on adult body mass, birth weight, at what age breeds reach 50 percent of their adult mass, litter size, average age of death, and, of course, typical causes of death. The first review of this data confirmed what others have shown, which is that larger dogs tend to die younger than smaller dogs. It also showed that larger dog breeds tend to have more offspring. For example, the diminutive Yorkshire Terrier has litters averaging three puppies. By comparison, the giant English Mastiff typically has litters averaging nine pups in size. Larger breeds are more susceptible to physical ailments after reaching their adult size, which is typically two years of age. The authors suggest that the development of dog breeds larger or smaller than ancestral gray wolves actually occurred through genetic mani[CENSORED]tion of the initial growth rate. The pressure to breed larger dogs has resulted in faster early growth velocity. Unfortunately, this means that instead of dedicating resources to general body maintenance and health, breeding for larger dogs emphasizes the use of bodily resources for rapid early growth, rather than using them to strengthen the immune system, repair the damaged DNA and improve resistance. The data shows that this is reflected in the fact that larger breeds are more susceptible to physical ailments after reaching their adult size, which is typically two years of age. Furthermore, the same mutations that increase body size in dogs also lead to an increased risk of cancer. Basically, the data shows that the bigger the dog, the more likely it is to suffer from this disease. The researchers divided the causes of death into four categories: trauma or accident, infection, toxic exposure, and cancer. Their analysis revealed that deaths from trauma, infection or toxin were not related to the size of the dog. However, the chance of dying from cancer increased steadily with the dog's weight. Data shows that the bigger the dog, the more likely it is to get cancer Does that mean if you have a big dog you should start thinking about an epitaph? Not quite, actually. There is hope for them, however, in the longer term, as natural selection should allow larger dogs to develop better cancer defenses and longer lives at the expense of smaller litters. https://www.elconfidencial.com/alma-corazon-vida/2023-05-19/perros-grandes-viven-menos-esperanza-vida_3630375/

  8. There are few hot hatchbacks with as much tradition as the Volkswagen Polo GTI. It has been on the market uninterrupted for a quarter of a century, always following in the footsteps of its older brother, the Golf GTI. And precisely now it's time to celebrate that 25-year milestone with a special edition that wants to live up to it. It has been called Volkswagen Polo GTI Edition 25 and has practically all the equipment available in the model, as well as some specific details to make its exclusivity clear. So much so that only 2,500 units of the model will be made, which will go on sale this summer. It is announced from a price of 35,205 euros in Germany, a rate that could vary in our country and that is high due to its exceptional nature. It drinks from that tradition that began with the Polo GT in 1979 and increased with the arrival of the GTI version in 1998. Just 3,000 units were made of that first copy that sold out quickly, although the truth is that it has little to do with the current beyond being a limited copy. Based on the MQB platform, the current Volkswagen Polo GTI carries the 2.0 TSI four-cylinder gasoline engine. It reaches up to 207 hp and 320 Nm of torque, always with front-wheel drive and with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission. With it, it achieves interesting features, such as acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. In the Edition 25, the sports suspension with special adjustments to lower its height by 15 mm and also the XDS electronic self-locking differential to improve its capabilities come standard. Among the specific equipment of this model you can see details in black such as the 18-inch Adelaide wheels, the roof or the mirrors. Also some red accents such as the decorative strips or the brake calipers. There is no lack of the own design of the grill grid or the chrome exhaust outlets. In the passenger compartment it continues with the sports seats with leather upholstery in those two previously named colors, in addition to some decorative moldings and the numbered plate. The sports steering wheel bears the "25" logo and comes as standard with virtually every system available on the model. This means that the Volkswagen Polo GTI Edition 25 has the Matrix LED IQ.Light headlights, the IQ.Drive assistance package with Travel Assist or the Ready2Discover multimedia system with an 8-inch screen. It is one of the few things that can be improved, as two others are optionally available. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/volkswagen-polo-gti-edition-25/491803

  9. The German team equalized at home (0-0) and with a 1-0 aggregate in favor of the Italians, they cut their way in the second most important UEFA club tournament. Bayer Leverkusen's Ecuadorian Piero Hincapié was eliminated in the Europa League semifinal after losing the series against Roma, which has Portuguese José Mourinho on the bench. The Italian team managed to defend the 1-0 win in the first leg in Germany, a global that after an insipid match this Thursday was enough to qualify for the final. The Romans arrived at the second leg with the advantage that the goal of the young Edoardo Bove gave them in the first leg, and they resisted the pressure of coach Xavi Alonso's pupils, showing themselves without cracks in the defensive facet, with a defense of five, reinforced with the Serbian destroyer midfielder Nemanja Matic. The departure due to injury at the end of the first half of Leonardo Spinazzola, replaced by Nicola Zalewski, did not disturb the Roman defensive wall. At 60, Mourinho will play his seventh European final on May 31, plus the three European Super Cup finals he lost. It is true that he will not have the prestige of his Champions League titles with Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010 (plus a final loss to Chelsea in 2008), but if he wins he could give his team a ticket. to play the next Champions League. Doing it via Serie A seems more complex for Roma, with six points less than fourth place with three dates to go in the championship. Roma will face the winner of the clash between Sevilla and Juventus on May 31 in Budapest. https://www.eluniverso.com/deportes/futbol/bayer-leverkusen-de-piero-hincapie-se-queda-a-las-puertas-de-la-final-de-la-europa-league-nota/

  10. The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a new guideline on non-sugar sweeteners on Monday, in which it advises against their use to control body weight or reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. The recommendation is based on the results of a systematic review of the available evidence, which suggests that the use of non-sugar sweeteners does not confer any long-term benefit in reducing body fat in adults or children. The results of the review also suggest that there may be potential undesirable effects of its long-term use, such as increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and adult mortality. "Substitution of free sugars with non-sweetened sweeteners does not help with long-term weight control. People should consider other ways to reduce their intake of free sugars, such as eating foods with natural sugars, such as fruit, or non-sugar foods and beverages. sugary", declared the Director of Nutrition and Food Safety of the Organization. Francesco Branca has further clarified that these types of sweeteners are not essential dietary components and have no nutritional value. "People should totally reduce sweetness from the diet to improve their health from an early age," he added. Products affected The recommendation includes the results of studies conducted with adults, children, and pregnant women. However, the evaluation of the effects of sweeteners in people with pre-existing diabetes has not been incorporated as this was outside the scope of this guideline according to the authors. On the other hand, the document refers to all synthetic and natural or modified non-nutritive sweeteners that are not classified as sugars and are found in manufactured foods and beverages, or are sold plain for consumers to add to foods and beverages. Common non-nutritive sweeteners include acesulfame K, aspartame, advantame, cyclamates, neotame, saccharin, sucralose, stevia, and stevia derivatives. According to the authors, there are certain products that contain these types of sweeteners that would not be affected by this guideline, such as toothpastes, skin creams and medicines, nor those that contain low-calorie sugars and sugar alcohols, which contain calories and therefore, they are not considered non-nutritive sweeteners. Conditional recommendation Following the Organization's processes for developing guidelines, the recommendation has been classified as conditional. This means that policy decisions based on it may require discussion depending on the specific national context, which may be linked, for example, to the extent of consumption in different age groups. According to the WHO, the guideline has received this classification because the link observed in the evidence between sweeteners and disease outcomes could be affected by the baseline characteristics of the study participants and the complicated patterns of use of sweeteners. Improve diet With the aim of improving the quality of the diet and reducing the risk of noncommunicable diseases throughout the world, the World Health Organization has developed and plans to publish a series of recommendations on healthy diets, among which is the guideline distributed this Monday. The recommendations are directed at politicians at the national and local level; managers and non-governmental organizations of programs related to nutrition and the prevention of non-communicable diseases; healthcare professionals; nutrition scientists and researchers; educators; and representatives of the food industry. https://news.un.org/es/story/2023/05/1521027

  11. Two new human skeletons have been found in the ruins of Pompeii, the ancient Roman city south of Naples that was buried by the eruption of the Vesuvius volcano in 79 AD. The skeletal remains were recovered in recent excavations at Pompeii's House of Chaste Lovers and are believed to belong to two men aged at least 55. The director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, reported that both did not die from volcanic ash but from the collapse of buildings, noting that fragments of walls were found between their fractured bones. The quake is believed to have knocked down a wall in the room where they were seeking refuge. One of the skeletons had one arm raised, which "perhaps alludes to the tragic image of a futile attempt to protect itself from falling masonry," the Pompeii Archaeological Park added in a statement released on Tuesday. "They probably died due to multiple traumas caused by the collapse," the park said. The skeletons were found lying on their sides with their legs bent and one of them was wearing a ring on his left hand. Traces of what is believed to be a bundle of cloth were also found next to one of the victims, containing bead necklaces and coins. Inside the room were an amphora and a collection of bowls and jugs, while an adjacent room contained a homely shrine in the form of a fresco and a narrow bathroom with a toilet. A great tragedy Earthquakes before and during the eruption, as documented in the letters of the Roman author Pliny the Younger, had numerous fatalities. "Among the causes of death, the collapse of buildings, in some cases due to the earthquakes that accompanied the eruption, proved to be a lethal threat," the park said. "Modern excavation techniques help us better understand the hell that completely destroyed the city of Pompeii for two days and killed many inhabitants: children, women and men," Zuchtriegel said. The Italian Ministry of Culture estimates that "at least 15-20% of the po[CENSORED]tion" of Pompeii, then about 13,000 people, was buried under ash, pumice and dust. The Vesuvius eruption was equivalent to the explosion of numerous atomic bombs at once. Over the past two and a half centuries, archaeologists have recovered the remains of more than 1,300 victims. Intense archaeological activity The Pompeii site, which was not discovered until the 16th century, has seen a recent boom in archaeological activity aimed at halting years of decay and neglect, thanks largely to a €105 million (US) EU-funded project. $115.6 million) recently completed. Italian Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano stated that conservation efforts and archaeological research will continue. "The discovery of these two skeletons shows us that we still have to study a lot, do more excavations to get out everything that is still [hidden] in this immense treasure," he said. In the House of Chaste Lovers, colorful frescoes and the skeletons of mules that worked the millstones for grain have been discovered in the past. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-65641942

  12. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, has assured that these new versions of the next-generation consoles probably exist, but they will not affect the company's business too much. For some time there has been talk of the possibility of seeing both the PS5 Pro and a new version of Xbox Series in the future, that is, reviews of the next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft in the style of what happened in the last generation. with PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. There is more and more information pointing to it, and that is why different industry executives are beginning to be asked about the subject. The revisions of these consoles will not affect your business, according to the CEO of Take-Two One of those who has spoken about this very specific issue has been Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, the multinational known for having other prestigious video game companies such as Rockstar or 2K in its portfolio. In an interview with Games Industry on the occasion of the presentation of the latest financial results, he has assured that we will probably see these revisions. Of course, he has not shared any more details, although he explains that, from his perspective, he does not believe that the launch of these new versions will affect the company's business too much. They will not leave aside Nintendo Switch Likewise, Zelnick has also referred to Take-Two's plans with Nintendo Switch. "Yes, we will continue to support it", he has commented in relation to supporting this platform. It should be noted that these statements are made despite rumors of a new Nintendo console in the short term and that recently one of his games, Midnight Suns, has canceled its Switch version. In addition, the CEO of the company points out that they will also continue to launch games for previous generation consoles as long as their audience does not decrease to a point of no return. As we say, these words come within the framework of the presentation of Take-Two's most recent financial results, where the company has revealed that they will launch "several innovative titles" in fiscal year 2025, which corresponds to the period from 1 from April 2024 to March 31, 2025. This, of course, has once again triggered speculation about whether we will end up seeing Grand Theft Auto VI on the market during those months. https://www.3djuegos.com/ps5/noticias/ps5-pro-nueva-xbox-series-radar-despues-ultimas-declaraciones-duenos-gta

  13. Alex Seropian, founder of the Industrial Toys studio who was working on the Electronic Arts mobile game, points to the poor reception and rule changes from Apple Earlier this year we learned of the announcement of the cancellation of Battlefield Mobile, an adaptation of the Electronic Arts shooter franchise to mobile devices that finally did not see the light of day (it only carried out a testing phase), unlike the one that was also closed. Apex Legends Mobile, which was available on iOS and Android. Alex Seropian, founder of Industrial Toys, which is the study responsible for this adaptation that made EA disappear, has explained in Mobilegamer.biz the reasons why Battlefield Mobile was wiped off the map by the company. Most surprising of all, he takes aim at Battlefield 2042, explaining that the poor reception of Battlefield 2042 due to its disastrous launch was a key factor in the closure of the project. "During the last year several things happened. Battlefield 2042 was released and the reaction from the community was not good. This caused a lot of introspection," explains Seropian, who assured that before that everything was going well because the genre of mobile shooters were growing and they had a big IP on their hands. Apple was also responsible But the founder of the studio, who also ended up shutting down along with a team of 120 people, not only blames the disastrous launch of Battlefield 2042, but also Apple: "Apple also changed the IDFA rules [paid distribution], meaning it made user acquisition much more expensive. Because of that, organic growth was affected by the 2042 launch, and paid distribution was became quite a bit more expensive per the IDFA rules". Finally, Alex Seropian also slides that the closure of Apex Legends Mobile also had something to do. "Then Apex came out and I don't know if EA has explained why they canceled it, if it was for economic reasons or whatever, but without me saying anything you could fill in the blanks, I guess," he explains, to end by making it clear that, according to him, Electronic Arts did not have confidence in the project nor did it invest enough time and money after the testing phase. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/battlefield-mobile/noticias/desastre-battlefield-2042-provoco-desaparicion-otro-juego-ea-hay-otro-gran-responsable-cierre-battlefield-mobile

  14. The last time Riot Games changed Viktor to adjust his power, there were no Mythic Items League of Legends is a game that never stops changing. Even when there are no major transformations, Riot Games is constantly tweaking. You have to balance the power of champions, items and even the systems themselves. This means that nothing we know of remains static for a long time. It is an idea integrated into the very conception of a game that aspires to have an infinite learning curve. However, among so many transformations, there is a character who has not received adjustments for almost three years. It's been 70 patches since Viktor was last given an unforced change. A unique case in League of Legends Viktor was troublesome for Riot Games during the early years of League of Legends. The champion even received two reworks that, without being large, did significantly modify his abilities. However, he has ended up becoming the most balanced character in the game. Considering the last 69 patches that have been introduced to the MOBA, he has only received adjustments to his stats or abilities on two occasions. In both cases, moreover, the adjustments were not caused by his performance in the games. These were exceptional adjustments that affected all the characters in the game, which is why we talked about unforced changes before. Patch 12.10: It was the big durability update. Viktor's base resistances have been increased and his shield has been reduced. All champions underwent this process and Riot Games did not make any special adjustments to this character. Patch 10.23: Mythic items have arrived. In an attempt to adapt Viktor to these changes, we changed his old passive so that he could interact with the new system. Removed his exclusive item and introduced a new passive. As a result, I need a small balance adjustment. If we don't get into these League of Legends structural transformations, the last time the character received a balance change was in Update 10.12. This came to the video game on June 10, 2020. We are about to celebrate three years without changes to the character. A total of 70 patches without seeing his power modified. The record is virtually unheard of. We have only known one comparable case. It was Jayce's, which passed without changes from February 20, 2020 to April 13, 2022. A little over two years that already seemed like a record to us, but the figure has now come to nothing. The situation would be unworthy if we were talking about an extraordinarily unpo[CENSORED]r champion or who was in an imbalanced situation. However, Viktor's numbers are close to perfect. He enjoys good po[CENSORED]rity, being picked in 4.8% of ranked matches played on all official Riot Games servers over the last 30 days. He has won 51.2% of the matches without excelling too much at any of the skill levels. In addition, he is barely 'banned' on 2.8% of the occasions. It is at a point that the developers of League of Legends would sign for all the characters in the game. Using the same criteria, there are currently two cases similar to Viktor's. However, they are not that exaggerated. Morgana is a very stable champion throughout League of Legends history and the last time she received changes was in Patch 11.18 (Sept 2021). Illaoi, for her part, has a slightly less flashy track record and last received adjustments in 12.4 (Feb 2022). When it comes to other elements, the ones that have remained intact the longest are Flash and Wipe. The first Summoner Spell received its last adjustments in 1.0.0.152 (Dec. 2012) and the 'Cleanse' even earlier: in 1.0.0.129 which arrived in November 2011. According to the records we have been able to verify, it is the element of the game that has been the longest without undergoing any modification. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/league-of-legends/noticias/campeon-que-se-salta-logica-league-of-legends-lleva-tres-anos-recibir-cambios

  17. It can reach sizes of what it projects up to 120 inches The Xiaomi company maintains its usual trend of launching a large number of products on the market, including those that are part of its sub-brands (such as POCO). It has just been announced that it is launching a most versatile projector, the Fermi R1c Nano. We tell you what it offers and its price, which as always is most striking. It is a short-throw model that, apart from projecting a large image from a minimum distance on the wall (to give an example), has the particularity of being able to rotate enough so that it can also be projected on a table. It is important to note that to achieve this, it is necessary to use additional support. Good options of this Xiaomi projector Xiaomi's new product has some interesting features to ensure good image quality in all kinds of situations and places. Thus, for example, it is capable of reaching 1,400 ANSI lumens and projecting an image of up to 120 inches, which is very positive. In addition, it has a contrast ratio of 2000:1 and supports 4K decoding, but its native FHD (1080p) resolution. By the way, this model is compatible with HDR10, which ensures great color management, and has ALPD technology to improve definition. The connectivity of the new Fermi R1c Nano is also very good. It is compatible with Xiaomi Home thanks to its WiFi connectivity. It also has its own operating system called FengOS; integrated speakers with a power of 5W each, offers compatibility with both Dolby Audio and DTS Audio; And, how can it be otherwise, it has HDMI ARC (it also has two USB ports, one type A and the other type C). In what has to do with the design of this Xiaomi, it is quite attractive and has dimensions of 200 x 200 x 70 millimeters, so it is not difficult to place it almost anywhere it is needed to project images. Price of this product The Fermi R1c Nano is already available on the Youpin page for a price of 2,999 yuan, which is equivalent to approximately 395 euros to change. At the moment, its availability is limited to China, but everything indicates that little by little it will reach other regions where Spain may be. The fact is that this is a product that is good, beautiful and cheap. https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2023/05/17/gadgets/1684318007_152930.html

  18. Thanks to current technology and our Internet connections, video playback in the form of movies and series has changed a lot in recent years. Streaming content has become the main option for many users around the world, although there are different ways to access all of it. For years one of the most common alternatives to reproduce all kinds of multimedia content is through what is known as IPTV services. This is a concept that comes from the acronym Internet Protocol Television and it is actually a technology that is responsible for distributing the video signal through broadband connections over IP. What are IPTV services Surely many of you have a service of these characteristics without knowing it, since it is used by many ADSL and fiber operators to distribute their television services. For all this, on many occasions a decoder is used that receives the contents so that we can see them on TV. Likewise, we can also use different mobile applications or PC programs to reproduce all these IPTV contents. We also have the possibility of contracting IPTV services independently from the operators through a content provider. This gives us the opportunity to access television channels from around the globe generally distributed in the H264 video format. We can also find some of these platforms that send us the signal in MPEG-4 format. In addition, these services make use of IP servers to send different video streams simultaneously. All of this allows the corresponding IPTV platforms to allow the bidirectional flow of content, control session data, customer billing, etc. But we must not confuse these IPTV services that we have just described with those known as OTT. Hence, below we are going to explain the difference between the two so that you are clear about the video streaming platform that interests you the most. Differences with OTTs We already told you before that today we have the possibility of reproducing this video content through different sources and platforms. Therefore, we must be very clear that on the one hand we have the aforementioned PTV services and on the other, those known as OTT. To begin with, we will tell you that the second modality refers to streaming platforms that are so well known at the moment such as Netflix, HBO Max or Disney +. Although at first both systems can lead us to confusion, in reality they are not the same nor do they work the same. And there are some important differentiating aspects between these two methods. For example, it is important to know that IPTV services make a reservation of bandwidth in order to guarantee the quality of transmissions by the client. On the contrary, in those known as OTT or Over the Top, this connection bandwidth reservation does not exist. Thus, the video traffic from these services is confused with the rest of the Internet traffic. In this way, OTTs work independently from the telephone operator. We have the possibility of accessing this content from any connection regardless of the provider through viewing the applications and my web services offered by these Netflix-type companies. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/streaming/confundirlos-diferencias-servicios-iptv-ott/

  19. It is quite normal that when you want to format the PC or have to install the operating system from scratch, you mount an ISO image on a USB drive to boot the PC from it and start the installation process. However, when you want to install a different operating system, you have to repeat the process or use a different USB drive, but what if we told you that you can have a single USB drive with several operating systems and choose which one you want to install each time? In this article we teach you how to do it. Windows 10, Windows 11, a couple of Linux distributions... everything will have a place on the same USB flash drive as long as you have space available on it to be able to copy the ISO inside. The process is really very simple, and the key is simply to use the tool that we are going to talk about below to create a kind of boot menu in which to select which ISO image to boot from each time. With this we want to tell you that, initially, we will have to prepare the pen drive or USB hard drive with the operating systems that you want to have available, which will require a little time, but it will save you from having to do the same process over and over again. again every time you want to change the operating system you want to install, which in the end will save you a lot of time. USB drive with all operating systems is possible The first step is to collect the ISO files of the operating systems that you want to have at your disposal. This is quite simple: in the case of Linux distributions, many are available on their official web pages (for example, Ubuntu, which is one of the most po[CENSORED]r), and in the case of Windows, Microsoft also makes available to you available the Windows 11 ISO for free from its website; for Windows 10 it's a bit more complicated if you didn't already have the ISO, but you can also get it with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. To create a USB drive with this bunch of operating systems, we're going to need a tool called Ventoy, which you can download for free (as you can see by clicking the link, it's available for several operating systems, so download the one you're using for create the bootable USB). You will download a ZIP file that you will then have to unzip in a directory on your computer of your choice. The next step is to insert the USB drive you want to use to load the operating systems into the PC, and then run the Ventoy2Disk.exe file (it's a portable tool, which means you don't need to install anything). A window will open with the application, and all you have to do is select the USB drive at the top "Device", and then click the Install button. When doing so, a warning will appear indicating that the data previously on the USB drive will be erased (keep that in mind). Click Yes and the bootable drive creation process will begin. Once it's done, the USB drive will be called "Ventoy", and you'll just have to copy the ISO files to the root inside it. Once this step is done, you have everything ready, and when you start the PC with the USB drive inserted (make sure in the BIOS that you have selected boot from USB) the Ventoy menu will appear in which you can select which operating system you want to start from the PC to start the installation. Simple, right? Remember: you simply have to download Ventoy and prepare a USB drive with it, then copy the ISOs of the operating systems to the USB drive and that's it, you can use it. https://hardzone.es/noticias/perifericos/sistemas-operativos-usb/

  20. This indie adventure that came as part of PS Plus Extra has reached one million players and opens in box on July 18. Players who subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra have access to a vast catalog of PS4 and PS5 video games that is occasionally updated with launch titles. It happened, for example, last summer with Stray, the po[CENSORED]r title starring a cat, and in March it happened again with an indie-style adventure developed by Awaceb: Tchia. Kepler Interactive's open world came to both PS4 and PS5 digitally and as part of the subscription, but it was also released on PC via the Epic Games Store. All this seems to have allowed it to exceed a million players in less than two months, a remarkable figure for a proposal of this size. Its managers have thanked him with a message on social networks: "Tchia has reached 1 million players! We are incredibly proud and grateful for this incredible milestone. Thank you so much for your support on this journey. Thank you!" The physical edition arrives in July In addition to this achievement, the developers of the title that tells us a story inspired by New Caledonia have announced that the Oleti physical edition will arrive on July 18 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. These have the differential aspect of including a cosmetic pack inspired by other Kepler Interactive games, being able to customize the appearance of Tchia, the ukulele, the boat and the glider with styles from works like SIFU, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Cat Quest and, yes, Scorn. We leave you below the official description of Tchia: "Join Tchia on a tropical open world adventure as she embarks on a mission to rescue her father from the cruel tyrant Meavora, the archipelago's ruler. Climb, glide, swim, and boat across beautiful islands while exploring a sandbox filled of physics. Face the cloth soldiers created by Meavora in open-ended encounters where creativity will give you the upper hand. Control any animal or object you find, make new friends and improvise with your ukulele, which you can play freely. A story about the step to adulthood inspired by New Caledonia". https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/tchia/noticias/se-estreno-ps-plus-podia-recordar-a-breath-of-the-wild-han-jugado-millon-personas-hay-fecha-para-edicion-fisica-tchia

  21. Pokémon TCG Live will be permanently available next month and it's the best chance the card game has ever had. After spending more than half a year in the testing phase, Pokémon TCG Live will be released definitively on June 8, 2023. The application will take over from Pokémon TCG Online to become the only digital platform where we can enjoy officially from the franchise trading card game. In a year in which the only news regarding the main games will be the downloadable content of Scarlet and Purple, those responsible for the saga launch an ordeal to take advantage of the potential of a side of the franchise that is somewhat ignored by the players. Pokémon TCG Live takes over on trading cards The great objective of Pokémon TCG Live is to present an alternative way of enjoying the saga that, although it is po[CENSORED]r, has never quite reached the public it aspires to. According to those responsible for the franchise, the release "offers beginning and veteran players a fun and accessible way to experience the collectible card game." A proposal that promises to include different game modes and be more adapted to what we would expect from a title released in 2023. In short, we will have access to more content that, above all, seeks to be a gateway for new players. That does not mean that they are going to forget their function. As always, we will be able to scan our physical cards to pass them into the game and create decks with which to compete against other members of the community. In fact, the game's premiere will take place on the same day that the expansion for the trading card game "Scarlet and Purple - Evolutions in Paldea" is released. The plan is not to eliminate what already worked from Pokémon TCG Online, but to expand the experience. The Pokémon Company wanted to remind fans of the saga that they will be able to transfer an important part of their progress to their new title. All compatible cards as of March 1, 2023 will carry over to the new Pokémon TCG Live, even if we trade them in the next few weeks. Of course, no new content will be released for the video game until the closure of the servers takes place on June 5. You can now play Pokémon TCG Live The beginning of the Pokémon TCG Live beta was a disaster in terms of performance and bugs. However, the game has already undergone several months of testing and everything indicates that it will be released on June 8 without too many shocks. Any player who is interested in switching to the new version right now can do so without problems, enjoying the end of the trial period. In fact, all players who log in to the new game before June 6 will get special commemorative gifts. Remember that the title is available on iOS, Android, Mac and PC. You can download it through the official website. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/the-pokemon-tcg-online/noticias/novedad-ano-pokemon-no-tiene-nada-que-ver-escarlata-purpura-despues-diez-anos-llega-sucesor-pokemon-tcg-online-para-animar-a-fans-juego-cartas

  22. Ordinance of lands, cities and ancient civilizations? We review a little history to understand how we create cities in video games. Has it ever happened to you that you are playing a strategy title, or a city builder, and you simply stop to plan or admire your work? If you are not new to the genre, you will already know that you have to take into account an infinite number of variables, ranging from the organization of residential districts to the configuration of industrial zones, passing, of course, the layout of roads and roads, and different accessory elements that depend a little on each game (they can be basic resources, security, cosmetics, etc). It may sound a little weird, but just seeing how everything is structured and interconnected in a virtual city, one that has been chiseled from our own optimization and spatial understanding, is one of the most authentic sensations the genre can convey. of the strategy. Deep down, it has a lot to do with the expression capacity of each player; The fact that no two cities are identical reveals a lot about ourselves, our personality and how we understand the world around us. The Land Ordinance and our spatial organization However, almost all of our digital construction activities have one element in common: the tendency towards the perfect grid, an easily testable approach that has its origins in the evolution of human cities and, more specifically, in the Land Ordinance of 1785. What is this and why should we care? Good question; In reality, the Land Ordinance is a law that was promulgated by the United States Confederation, just a short time after its birth as a sovereign nation, and that would mark the expansion and territorial division of the country towards the Wild West, lands of incredible nature and animistic natives who tried to resist the invasion. Be that as it may, we all know the result: today, the US extends from coast to coast, and although on the side closest to the Atlantic, which corresponds to the original 13 colonies, it is easy to appreciate the European influences at the urban level, As we move towards the Pacific, the effects of the Land Ordinance can be seen very clearly. Broadly speaking, the law proposes a super-grid organization of the territory, a division that prevails both at the state level (look at the limits of the states, delimited by square and square) and in the individual plots themselves. If you want to freak out, grab Google Maps, turn on layered or satellite view, and compare any big city in Illinois or California to old town on the East Coast or New England. The difference is huge; It's almost like a trip back in time, an intercultural leap from European to American architecture, in which you go from narrow, winding, "distinctive" streets to an organization totally outlined in almost perfect squares... laid out in a somewhat neurotic and like mass production, to be honest. Almost all of our digital construction activities have one element in common: the trend towards the perfect grid. This also happens in video games, obviously. In some it is more evident than in others, and in many of them it is simply an acquired habit, a self-imposed habit that leads us to structure our cities obsessively, counting the size of the buildings point by point and working in connected rectangles and squares. by roads that surround them. We have a clear case of this in the recent IXION, which does not get rid of the Ordinance of 1785 no matter how much its leaders are French; in it, we put ourselves in command of a space station to try to find out what the hell has happened to humanity and what the future holds for our species. More pertinent is to verify that its internal division, in the districts that make up the Tiqqun station, is completely divided into perfect little squares, and that the buildings, regardless of the curvilinearity of their contours, occupy a specific number of squares on the map. I remember my first few hours in the game and I can't help but think about all the time I spent trying to quantify the space to organize everything in the best possible way: the optimal route of resource collection, which areas were best to stack houses and where you had to position the containers for greater production efficiency…. You know, that kind of thing. When I moved to the second district, I prepared myself thoroughly and tried to put into practice everything I had learned, all those little errors in positioning and construction that had caused me quite a few headaches. Before I knew it, it turns out that I was already organizing all the land in the sector in very marked grids and rectangles, measured to the last consequences so that they perfectly fit the number of buildings that I intended to place there. In the end, this is just an unconscious and purely personal reinterpretation of the Land Ordinance of 1785, which sometimes works on us in inscrutable ways, without our realizing it. It is indisputable that the very configuration of the space proposed by Bulwark Studios with IXION ends up giving rise to conclusions similar to mine, but the most interesting thing of all is that it is not the only case, and that it is not always something forced, imposed by the molds playable. Let me explain: have you played Cities Skylines, Airborne Kingdom, or any installment of the irreverent and charismatic Tropico franchise? The first and the last give you more construction options, without a doubt, it's not for nothing that we talk about some of the best city builders on the market. And yet, if you take a look at the vast majority of user cities, you will find that tendency to the perfect grid that I was talking about before, like an invisible law that operates in our brain whether we want it or not. No. In Airborne Kingdom, the result is even more obvious because, as in IXION, the game cannot be separated from its grid-like spatial organization, which leads you, slowly but inexorably, to design quadrilateral neighborhoods, both to respect the area of influence of the effects of the buildings to be able to mentally "grasp" the space that the title offers you. You have examples like these, so I'm going to stay with a selection of great games: the sensational Dyson Sphere Program, Anno 1800, Banished, Rimworld…. Crazy. From the ancient city to the modern city: the player experience However, cities were not always like this. A long, long time ago, in civilizations somewhat, somewhat distant, when a few millennia had already passed since the domestication of agriculture and from the passage of our lives as hunter-gatherers to sedentary lifestyle (what a scam, to all this), many Urban planning exercises focused on an important social nexus and spread around it, forming a kind of sphere, or three-dimensional waves . I find it very interesting that the evolution of a player can be analogous to the historical evolution The key was always in the cosmogony of civilizations, in the way in which each society understood the world around it. For example, in Mesopotamia, the cities changed from an irregular layout to a grid pattern over time (probably the great influence of the Land Ordinance and, therefore, how we make cities in video games), while in Ancient Egypt the space was structured with the temples and palaces in the center, so that the city orbited as a kind of network around it. Here it is quite difficult not to think of the outstanding Frostpunk, in whose snowy wastelands all the buildings are located around a huge heat generator that, of course, always remains in the center. It makes sense, doesn't it? In a frozen post-apocalyptic world in which fire is the greatest treasure, the protagonist of the last cities of humanity is not religious, social or governmental, but something much more practical, much more tangible: it is simply not freezing to death. Actually, apart from the wonderful ideas of 11 bit studios (which are already preparing Frostpunk 2 and the very interesting The Alters), I find it very interesting that the evolution of a player in the city builder genre can be analogous to the evolution of the cities in the historical plane; Many of us go from the initial chaos, when we are not very clear about what to do, where to put what and why, to a state of "greater strategic awareness" that urges you to plan almost everything several hours in advance. If I look back and think about my Imperivm Civitas games, I have no choice but to raise my hands to my head... Where are my grids, Brutus, I'm getting OCD. Now it's your turn: are you part of the grid cult, or do you prefer to design your cities with a little more improvisation? Is there any title that has broken your schemes with its urban proposal or its construction system? We read you in the comments; Before closing, yes, I did not want to miss the opportunity to tell you that if you want to know what are the scientific and social consequences of the Land Ordinance of 1785 in the US, I recommend that you take a look at the great Twitter thread of Antonio Giraldo, who sums up all these questions wonderfully, and who has served as an inspiration to continue investigating in this article. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/frostpunk/noticias/razon-que-todas-tus-ciudades-videojuegos-cuadradas-se-remonta-a-tiempos-salvaje-oeste

  25. Independent German developer Keen Games (Sacred 3, Portal Knights) revealed a new game called Enshrouded today. It is a survival action RPG playable by up to sixteen players at once, and it should land later this year in early access on PC. I was invited to a remote presentation for the press hosted by Creative Director Antony Christoulakis, who explained that the elevator pitch for Enshrouded is Zelda: Breath of the Wild meets Valheim. The core gameplay loop includes all the main tenets of these games, such as exploring, surviving, fighting, looting, gathering, crafting, and building. The twist is that the fully handcrafted open world of Embervale is largely split into two parts: above the fog and below it. The mysterious pestilence called Shroud that plagued the land sprouted from the deepest recess of the earth, infecting and mutating everything affected by the myst. Needless to say, venturing below the fog (which was likened to diving, as players will have to reemerge after a certain amount of time) means encountering dangerous creatures but also gathering important loot and resources that can then be used in the world above to upgrade your gear and build houses. Players also have the opportunity to rescue artisan NPCs and bring them home, where their crafting expertise makes them helpful allies. A sandbox game at heart, Enshrouded encourages folks to express themselves however they see fit through various customization layers, from appearance to combat roles. There won't be any predetermined path other than the one chosen by the Flameborn (that's what player characters are called in the game). While there is a class selection screen when creating your character, you can potentially access any skills by moving to a different branch of the skill tree. As mentioned earlier, inspiration came from Breath of the Wild for the freeform exploration of the world and the combat, which I was told won't be too punishing. Valheim, on the other hand, was picked because the developers agree that it's best to provide buffs for players that take care of eating, sleeping, et cetera, instead of penalizing those who do not. There won't be difficulty modifiers or settings at the early access launch, though they're expected to be added later. Keen Games said console releases are planned, but only after the game is fully released on PC. When I inquired about the estimated length of the early access phase, Christoulakis couldn't say for sure, but he reckoned it would be at least one year. Still, the game already includes controller support on the PC build for anyone who prefers that over the mouse and keyboard controls. Enshrouded is powered by the studio's own engine. The reason for that is taking advantage of the engine's custom-built voxel technology created by Keen Games to allow players to sculpt the terrain during the building phase. Voxel games tend to look blocky, but the developers made an effort to hide that for this new game, providing a more realistic graphics style. When asked whether Keen added support for upscalers like AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution and/or NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling for their game, Christoulakis confirmed that FSR is already in Enshrouded and DLSS will be added soon. Keen Games didn't confirm an early access date, but it sounds like we won't have to wait too long. https://wccftech.com/enshrouded-is-a-zelda-ft-valheim-type-of-game-from-keen/

  26. Apple has big plans for the iPad Pro in the coming years. It was previously reported that the company will launch the iPad Pro with a 14.1-inch display that will feature an even more powerful M3 Pro chip instead of an M3 chip. Apart from this, the company is also working on a special iPadOS 17 version that will cater to the device. Now, a leaker suggested that Final Cut Pro is coming to iPadOS in 2024 with new iPad Pro models, while Logic Pro is expected to arrive by 2025. Scroll down to read more details on what you should expect from the powerful software duo. Final Cut Pro to arrive on iPad with the launch of iPadOS 18 next year, and Logic Pro will make a debut in 2025 As mentioned earlier, Apple is working on a special version of iPadOS 17 that will be able to drive two ultra-high-resolution displays at the same time. Apple is gradually looking to narrow the gap between macOS and iPadOS, allowing for a more productive user experience. Now, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are expected to arrive on iPad, with the potential launch of iPadOS 18 next year. Stage Manager is one such feature that is common on the iPad and the Mac. The company is looking to add more functionality to the mix by enhancing Stage Manager on the iPad. We have recently covered that with iPadOS 17, you will be able to use a webcam with external displays. Additionally, iPadOS 17 will also bring controls for sound output source and the ability to turn the iPad's display off while it is connected to an external display. With Final Cut Pro on iPadOS, the gap between Macs and iPads would further shrink. Today, leaker @analyst941 mentions in a tweet that Final Cut Pro will be coming to iPadOS in 2024. What this means is that Apple's most powerful video editing app will be available on the powerful iPad Pro models. It is likely that the software will make its debut alongside the 14.1-inch iPad Pro models next year to take advantage of the new chip. The leaker notes that while the Final Cut Pro version would be identical to the version on Mac, it would feature some design tweaks to support touch input. To be fair, a mild redesign would make sense since there is a difference between the two input methods. For instance, some elements could be too small and give room for accidental touches. Nonetheless, the iPad Pro would potentially retain Apple Pencil support which could prove to be helpful in editing videos, like dragging timelines. The leaker also suggests that Logic Pro will also come to the iPad Pro, but it would make a debut in 2025. This is all there is to it, folks. We will share more details on the subject as soon as further details are available. Would you want to see Final Cut Pro on the iPad? Let us know your thoughts below. https://wccftech.com/final-cut-pro-on-ipados-18-with-ipad-pro-in-2024/

  27. Framework has announced that its upcoming Laptop 13 designs will be featuring AMD's recently announced Ryzen 7040U Phoenix APUs. Framework Laptop 13 Boasts User-Friendly Modular Design With AMD's Brand New Phoenix Ryzen 7040 APUs The Framework Laptop 13 system was announced last month at the Framework Next Level event. During the event, the company revealed that it was going to feature both Intel 13th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7040 APUs. But additional details were kept under wraps until today. Now, AMD has formally announced its Ryzen 7040U Phoenix APU aiming for ultra-thin and low-power devices. This makes them a perfect choice for the super modular Framework Laptop 13. Framework has announced that its Laptop 13 will come in two CPU flavors, the Ryzen 7 7840U & the Ryzen 5 7640U. For these APUs, Framework has come up with a brand new cooling solution that is rated to cool up to 28 Watts of continuous load or if you want to do light-weigh tasks, you can easily switch to the more eco-friendly and efficient 15W mode. If you want to use an eGPU, you can do that too! This is because the Framework Laptop 13 with Ryzen 7040 Series processors has two fully capable USB4 ports, with the back left and back right Expansion Cards slots. The front left Expansion Card slot can handle both USB 3.2 and DisplayPort Alt Mode, while the front right Expansion Card can use USB 3.2. This does mean there is one Expansion Card slot that can't support the HDMI or DisplayPort Expansion Cards, and most OS's will provide a warning if you forget. You can charge your Framework Laptop through any of the four Expansion Cards as well. Although the AMD Radeon 780M and Radeon 760M RDNA 3 GPUs available with these APUs are very capable on their own terms, Framework is going one step ahead and offering support for a eGPU through two fully capable USB4 ports. As for pricing and availability, the Framework Laptop 13 with AMD Ryzen 7040 APUs starts at $849 US for the DIY, and $1049 US for the pre-built variants and are available for pre-orders starting today with the first units expected to ship to customers by Q3 2023. You can use the configuration tool which is available on Framework's webpage to get an idea of the prices. https://wccftech.com/framework-modular-laptop-13-design-gets-amd-phoenix-treatment-features-ryzen-7040u-apus-starts-at-849/

  29. Honkai: Star Rail was released only a few days ago, but it has already been downloaded over 20 million times. The game developed by HoYoverse, the same team behind Genshin Impact, features a handful of mechanics that may disorient players unfamiliar with this genre, especially if they have never dealt with other titles by the popular Chinese studio. Therefore, we have listed five valuable tips and tricks to help beginners with the game. Honkai: Star Rail may seem pretty straightforward, particularly at the beginning of the journey: you get an assignment, go from point A to B, talk to a few characters, and defeat the enemies. However, it hides much more than this, and you will soon notice it by progressing in the adventure and completing quests. You will need many resources to level up your characters and obtain Star Rail Passes if you don’t want to buy the Express Supply Pass for 4.99 USD. Therefore, pay close attention to your surroundings and explore every corner of the map in detail, looking for Treasures and Destructible Objects. You can get Credits, Trailblaze EXP, Stellar Jades, and more. The most valuable Treasures will often be hidden behind one or more enemies, so be ready to fight. As you progress in the game, you will eventually encounter some powerful enemies of a significantly higher level than your team. These tough guys will give you a hard time during combat if you choose to fight them, but it will be worth it. You will quickly notice them because their name and level are colored in red instead of the usual white. If you beat Formidable Foes in Honkai: Star Rail, you will get access to bountiful rewards that will surely help you during your adventure. Make sure you have the right Light Cones equipped for all your team members, so you will maximize the chances of winning. The fight will most probably last a bit because you won’t do much damage to this kind of enemy, and on the contrary, you will lose plenty of HP. March 7th's defensive ability will significantly help you, so don’t forget to use it. Honkai: Star Rail features a handy fast-travel system that lets you quickly move between locations you have visited. However, this feature is not immediately available. You will unlock it as you progress through the story and get to “The Voyage Continues” quest. Open the map and click on any blue Space Anchor icon to use it. On the map, you will also see the number of Treasures you have collected so far in one specific area and the ones you may be missing, so you can return to it and look for them. You will also be able to locate Formidable Foes and reach them to obtain valuable goodies after you defeat them. If you log in to the game every day, you will be able to collect great rewards. Open the Travel Log and select the A World Beyond tab to claim the items. Currently, you will get one or more Star Rail Special Passes, depending on the day. If you play on a PC, remember you can also download the game to your phone and use it to collect the daily rewards, so you won’t lose the progress if you don’t plan to turn on your computer for some time. Log in with your HoYoverse account, and your progress will sync between the platforms. Moreover, there is also an official Daily Check-In page for Honkai: Star Rail, just like for Genshin Impact, where you receive additional rewards if you visit it every day. During exploration, you will come across several enemies. If you want to gain a slight advantage before starting a battle, use your character’s unique ability called Technique. Each party member has one, and it can buff your stats or damage your foes before beginning the fight. You will quickly learn the best to cast based on your playstyle, but keep in mind that it will cost you Technique Points. Once you run out of them, you won’t be able to use Techniques until you recover them by breaking Destructible Objects or using specific Consumable items. When your Equilibrium Level increases, the number of Technique Points at your disposal will also grow to a maximum of five. If you are looking for additional rewards, check the Honkai: Star Rail codes available for redemption in April. More guides will arrive soon, so stay tuned! https://wccftech.com/how-to/honkai-star-rail-five-tips-on-getting-started/

  30. Apple will host its WWDC 2023 event on June 5 to announce iOS 17, macOS 14, and watchOS 10 to developers. iOS 17 will be a significant update considering the number of new features and changes it will bring. Seemingly, watchOS 10 is also rumored to radically redesign the platform as it will be the biggest update since the debut of the Apple Watch. It is now being reported that watchOS 10 will feature widgets as a key element on the Apple Watch. Scroll down to read more details on the subject. watchOS 10 to bring widgets to the mix but it could be an optional feature Mark Gurman from Bloomberg states in his latest Power On newsletter that watchOS 10 will focus on widgets as a "central part" of the operating system. Gurman also states that the style of the widgets will resemble the one on iOS. Widgets would serve a greater purpose than Glances on the Apple Watch. It will potentially show real-time information relevant to the application and make it easier for you to access it. If you remember Apple launched the Siri watch face with watchOS 4 that highlighted neatly stacked commands. The report suggests that the widgets part of watchOS 10 will be similar and potentially show more information. It could be similar to the widget stacks on iPhone. If you are not familiar, the widget stack houses multiple widgets that you can control by swiping on it. With the Apple Watch, the widget stack could be controlled using the Digital Crown and through touch input. Gurman states that widgets could potentially show information for activity tracking, stock tickers, calendar, weather, and much more. This will allow users to check the information at a glance without the need to open the app. Additionally, the company is also looking to add new operations to the hardware, For instance, Apple could remap the Digital Crown to open the widgets view. However, this means that the company would have to apply a dedicated command to access the home screen. Gurman also claims that Apple could make the new interface optional for users as it translates to a major shift in terms of design. What this means is that you can opt into the widget-centric experience. The latest changes are expected to arrive with watchOS 10 later this year on all compatible Apple Watch models. This is all there is to it, folks. We will update you guys as soon as further details are available. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. https://wccftech.com/watchos-10-to-feature-ios-like-wodgets/

  31. AMD's Ryzen 7040 Phoenix APU-powered laptops have once again missed their launch schedule and have now been delayed until May. AMD Phoenix Laptops Miss April Launch Schedule, Ryzen 7040 APU-Powered Platforms Now Hitting Retail Next Month Last month, AMD announced that they were pushing back the launch of Ryzen 7040 Phoenix APUs from March to April. The reason for the pushback was said to align with platform readiness and to ensure the best possible user experience. In the meanwhile, we have seen a lot of Ryzen 7040 APU-powered devices being announced. Now, April is almost over for us and we have yet to see a single product hit retail or announced for official availability. The vast majority of the products announced have so far been handheld gaming consoles which are targeting a launch in mid of May. There are also a few laptops that are listed for pre-orders at certain retailers such as a few models from ASUS at the Chinese retailer JD.com but besides that, there's not much to go by. There is vast majority of users who have been waiting to get hands-on AMD Phoenix APU-powered laptops for a while now. Not only do these laptops offer amazing performance and efficiency but it also provides one of the best-integrated graphics solutions which can be a game-changer for users who are looking to buy a budget gaming laptop. We have heard that most of these laptops will be targeting the $1000 US price point and some variants will even sell for below that which is great. As for handhelds, we have seen options ranging from $599 US all the way up to $999 US. You can also check out various performance benchmarks of the RDNA 3 iGPU here to get a taste of what you get when buying a Phoenix laptop. One must remember that the AMD Ryzen 7040 "Phoenix" CPUs recently had their specifications downgraded with the GPU core clocks being reduced by up to 200 MHz. The RDNA 3 GPU is going to be a major attraction for users who want a capable integrated graphics solution in a thin and light platform but the reduced clocks will end up delivering lower performance though that can be one of the reasons why the delay may have happened. I don't find the downgrade to be that major of an issue but I do want to see some laptops that aren't equipped with a discrete GPU. There are many users who will find the iGPU to be enough for their needs and dGPU-less options can retail for much lower prices and offer better thermals and efficiency figures too. https://wccftech.com/amd-misses-ryzen-7040-phoenix-apu-launch-deadline-first-laptops-now-arriving-in-may/

  33. Hello, To be honest with you, this request is likely to be accepted from another administrator, I don't know. But to me, you're not ready to become a moderator, your actions towards me and your attack on my inbox lately hasn't been something quiet people do as you mentioned on your request.

  35. Dead Island 2 features six different characters, named Slayers, to choose from. After a brief introduction at the beginning of the game, you will be asked to select one of them who will accompany you throughout your adventure. Each has unique skills and statistics, so pick carefully! You won’t be able to change them during the story, and you will have to stick to your selection until the end. You can always start a new run with a different Slayer, as the game gives you six different save slots, one for each character. If you are still deciding which one to pick first, check our guide for more details on them. Dani has the lowest Health Recovery rate among the six Slayers, meaning you’ll need to wait a bit more to see your HP bar increase again after you get hit by zombies. However, her Bloodlust Innate Skill somehow compensates for this because Dani will regain health if you slay multiple enemies quickly with her. She also has a good level of Peak Health, which determines your maximum health, and her stamina levels are pretty high. In other words, you can land quite a few heavy attacks and special moves with her before needing to rest. Jacob is the most balanced Slayer and a perfect pick for players looking for a straightforward path. He has excellent Peak Health levels, meaning his maximum health is pretty high, and he also has good Stamina attributes. On the other hand, his Resilience is the lowest among all the characters, so he’s more vulnerable to particular types of damage and status effects. Thanks to his Critical Gains Innate Skill, Jacob’s Critical Hits get a moderate Critical Damage boost when his Stamina levels are low, and he also regains some Stamina. Ryan might not seem the best Slayer to choose based on his terrified expression on the character selection screen, but he has some good aces up his sleeve. His Toughness levels are high, so he takes lower physical damage from enemy attacks than the other characters. His Resilience is also good, so he benefits from good protection against certain types of attacks and status effects. His Agility levels, however, are low. This attribute determines the base movement speed for the Slayer, so you will be pretty slow with him, and hordes of zombies can quickly surround you. His Seesaw Innate Skill, however, lets him regain health every time he knocks an enemy down. Bruno is a good choice for players looking for a stealthier approach. His Backstab Innate Skill, in fact, grants him a moderate damage boost when he hits enemies from behind. His Critical Damage levels are the highest among the six playable characters, and he also has good Agility attributes. His Peak Health, however, is low. Therefore, you need to rely on environmental kills and master the dodging (or blocking) techniques if you don’t want to die often with him. Carla isn’t the best pick if you want to rely on critical hits to slay zombies, as her Critical Damage levels are the lowest among the Slayers in Dead Island 2. However, she has excellent Resilience attributes, meaning she has high protection against specific types of attacks and negative status effects. Her Toughness levels are also high, so she will take less physical damage from zombies. Thanks to the Dig Deep Innate Skill, she gets a moderate Toughness boost every time her health bar reaches critical levels. Amy has the highest Agility levels among the Slayers, so you should definitively pick her if you like to run fast and quickly explore your surroundings. This also comes in handy against bigger hordes of zombies because you will have more chances to find a high spot and take control of the action before being attacked by enemies. In addition, she has good Critical Damage levels, but she lacks Toughness. If a zombie hits her, she will take quite a lot of physical damage. Her Relief Pitcher Innate Skill allows her to regain Stamina when she hits an enemy by throwing a weapon at them. Which Slayer should you choose in Dead Island 2? Each Slayer has their own skills, attributes, and characteristics, so our analysis should help the undecided pick the best one based on their preferences. Players looking for a more balanced experience should choose Jacob or Dani; the remaining characters are built on more specific traits but not for this less enjoyable. New skills will also be unlocked during the game, further enhancing the whole experience. Remember that you can always start a new run with another Slayer, to test their abilities and slay zombies in more different ways. And you can also check our beginner's tips if you need more help with Dead Island 2. https://wccftech.com/how-to/dead-island-2-slayers-guide-which-character-should-you-use/

  36. We bought into the robot vacuum craze couple of decades back because we were done managing the housework. Whether it's doing it yourself or outsourcing it to some professional, the process is time-consuming or expensive, and in some cases, both. But we didn't realize we were taking on a pet baby that itself will need cleaning and maintenance. Robovacs have come a long way since then, especially thanks to one company that never fails to push the boundaries of this industry. Roborock is known worldwide for the brilliant automated cleaning products that it designs. The company made automated cleaning accessible for millions of households, but where it truly shines is the premium, next-gen products that revolutionize robotic cleaning and make us reimagine automated tech. Introducing Roborock S8 Pro Ultra for elegant, effortless living Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most powerful and feature-rich robot cleaner available in the market. Working with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant and introducing features like self-washing and hot-air drying mop, Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is a hands-off robovac that can truly take care of itself without human involvement. If you are tired of having to daily wash mop pads and clean dustbins, it's time to invest in a more self-sufficient robot vacuum cleaner that can make house cleaning more convenient. Two extra points when it also looks so good that it adds to the elegance of your home without being an eyesore or something that you need to hide in the utility closet. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra can clean your floors - no problem - but it can also clean itself without your help. This is the next generation of robovacs! Forget the autobots that would bump into everything in their way, barely had any suction power, and weren't efficient by any definition. The Roborock S8 series is the latest flagship series from the trend-setting company and brings evolutionary features that make it more powerful than anything else on the market. From its 6000Pa suction or bristleless roller brushes, the S8 series isn't here to be a meek little moving body that would just sweep as it goes. It can intelligently form an efficient path and mimic human cleaning to get you actual deep cleaning results every time! These features include: DuoRoller Riser Brush VibraRise® 2.0 Mopping system 3D mapping | Multi-level mapping | Quick mapping Off-Peak charging makes it energy efficient Reactive 3D Obstacle Recognition & Avoidance Tech 6000Pa suction power makes it a beast of a cleaning product. Liftable mop means you don't need to detach the mop every time you need to clean the carpets - you see why we keep saying it's effortless cleaning! Liftable brush and mop result in efficient cleaning via several modes: vacuum and mop simultaneously, vacuum-only, mop-only, or vacuum then mop The Roborock S8 Series for convenient, efficient cleaning The Roborock S8 series includes three products: Roborock S8, S8+, and S8 Pro Ultra. The S8 is your trusted robot-only product, while the S8+ adds an auto-dust emptying dock to the S8. Finally, the S8 Pro Ultra goes all-out with a fully sufficient 6-in-1 zero-maintenance RockDock Ultra offers the following additional features: Auto Mop Washing Warm Air Drying Auto Tank Refilling Dock Self-Cleaning 3.5L Clean Water Tank 2.9L Dirty Water Tank Auto Dust Emptying allows for up to 7 weeks without emptying (also in S8+) https://wccftech.com/roborock-s8-pro-ultra-paves-the-way-to-a-chore-free-life/

  37. Japanese retailer, NTT-X, is offering a free Intel Arc A750 GPU on the purchase of an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. Buy The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Graphics Card & Get An Intel Arc A750 GPU For Free, That's The Deal Offered By One Japanese Retailer The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card is single-handily the fastest gaming card to date with no competition in sight. The graphics card is also the most expensive product that you can buy at its starting price of $1599 US. To sweeten the deal, it looks like retailers in Japan have come up with an interesting promotion. According to PC-Watch, Japanese retailer NTT-X is offering an ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 TUF Gaming graphics card for 314,160 Yen which is around $2333 US but exclusive members can get a discount, dropping the price down to 297,800 Yen or $2215 US. The higher than MSRP pricing is due to this particular card being a premium OC variant and also due to Japanese regional taxes. But to further sweeten this deal, the retailer is offering a free Intel Arc A750 graphics card with each purchase. This isn't the first time that Japan has offered an unusually weird discount or promotion on Intel's Arc products. We previously saw retailers in the country offering the Intel Arc A750 8 GB graphics card for as low as $150 US. It looks like Japan really got an abundance of Arc Alchemist stock that is now being offloaded through these promotions. The Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition, the model that is being offered in the promo, has a value of $250 US (MSRP) and has seen various driver updates & optimizations in recent months. This has allowed the card to feature much higher performance and value than its initial launch. Someone who buys the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 won't have any need for an Intel Arc A750 himself but if he has a sibling or friend who requires a newer graphics card for their PC, this promotion could be well worth it. You can only avail of this deal for a maximum of 5 times but I genuinely don't see anyone buying more than 1 RTX 4090.
