So, surely in a few days the company will add the official prices of this Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Go in Spain. https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2023/07/20/gadgets/1689865325_857342.html

Google has officially launched the Nearby Share app version with support for Windows PC, making it possible to send files between Android OS devices and Windows PCs globally.The tech giant began expanding its Nearby Share service at the beginning of April , when it launched the beta version of the Nearby Share app for sharing files between Android devices and Windows PCs. This beta version arrived in Spain in the month of May. Now, Google has released the ultimate Nearby Share app for Windows PCs around the world , making it possible to send and receive content from mobile phones, tablets and, with this new version, computers. "There is no need to search for cables, it is possible to share media with your own devices or with close friends and family with just a few clicks," the company stressed in a statement .As detailed by Google, Nearby Share for Windows PC has already been installed by more than 1.7 million people . Likewise, it has also pointed out that more than 50 million files have been transferred between computers and Android devices since its launch, especially photos and videos. He has also stressed that, with this version of the 'app', "improved performance" is offered, and new functionalities have even been added to "make it even easier to share content" with other users of this service. Nearby Share will display the estimated time left for file transfers to complete. In this way, the user will be able to know how long it will take to send the files, something useful in case of heavy content such as videos or complete folders .https://www.europapress.es/portaltic/software/noticia-version-nearby-share-pc-windows-ya-oficial-nivel-global-20230720105850.html

The Intel Arc A580 8 GB GPU has appeared in a benchmark once again but the graphics card has yet to make an official launch. Intel Arc A580 8 GB Can Be Great Competition Against RTX 4060 & RX 7600 If It Ever Launches The Intel Arc A580 GPU and its other counterparts in the Xe-HPG lineup were announced almost a year ago. While the Arc 3 and Arc 7 lineup saw desktop releases, the Arc 5 series never saw official retail availability which is a disappointment considering the immense potential the GPU is expected to hold. Now, the emergence of the Intel Arc A580 GPU on the GFXBench benchmark may hint that the GPU could release soon, but this is an assumption for now, & Intel hasn't provided any clarity.For a rundown, Intel already disclosed the full specifications of the Arc A580 GPU which will feature 24 Xe-Cores (3072 ALUs) clocked at 1700 MHz and will also feature 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide bus interface at the same 16 Gbps clocks for 512 Gbps of bandwidth. The GPU runs at 175W TDP and previous leaks have disclosed a similar performance to NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3060. The Intel Arc A580 was allegedly benchmarked in the Ashes of The Singularity with an undisclosed Intel 12th or 13th Gen CPU featuring a total of 16 cores. It performed well on the 1080p Minimum preset under the Vulkan API, scoring an average of 95 FPS which puts it on par with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, which scores up to 96 FPS in the same test.Based on the specs and estimated performance, the Intel Arc A580 can still be a viable solution for mainstream gamers. It can sit against the RTX 3060 at a much lower price point. The Arc A750 itself costs $249 US which is the new official MSRP so a $199 US or $179 US price for the Arc A580 8 GB can be very attractive. The Arc A750 can already be bought for as low as $150 US in Japan & $179 US in US markets so that may be one reason why the company is avoiding the launch of Arc A580 cards since it won't sell when you get an A750 in its place for a lower price. AMD and NVIDIA have continuously released options, such as the GeForce RTX 4060 & Radeon RX 7600, to fill the generational gaps in the budget segment but they have failed to capture audiences' interest due to bad value. Intel could capitalize on this with the Arc A580 especially since the new drivers have really elevated the performance of the Alchemist GPU architecture. Intel is rumored to launch its Alchemist+ refresh lineup at some point so maybe we get to see the A580 launch with it.

Final Fantasy XVI isn't the first main entry in the series to do away with turn-based combat, but it's the first game in the series whose combat system comes with a surprising amount of depth, offering players a variety of different offensive and defensive options. Among these options is the ability to parry enemy attacks, which has now kind of become a standard for action games. Unlike other action titles, however, parrying in Final Fantasy XVI can be rather challenging, requiring good knowledge of enemy attack patterns and timings.Parrying in Final Fantasy XVI comes in different forms, but the most challenging of them, as well as the most satisfying, is the basic parry that can be performed without learning any additional ability. To parry attacks using only Clive's sword, you need to time your attacks with that of the enemies so as to make the blade actually connect with the attack. When this happens, time will slow down for a few seconds, allowing you to unleash your most powerful attacks without getting interrupted.Doing this consistently is kind of difficult at the start of the game, especially as the timing is strict. As your attack has to connect with that of the enemy, you must keep your cool and swing your sword at the right time, so use audio and visual cues to help you. Generally, pressing the attack button as the enemy readies its attacks is not a good way to go, as most enemies, especially the bigger ones, slightly delay their attacks. As the timing is so strict, and you risk getting damaged if you mistime your swing, it's always better to attempt parrying attacks this way only with bigger enemies, as their attacks are easier to read. It is doable with smaller, faster enemies, but it's ultimately not really worth it. While not as advantageous, there are a few Eikon abilities that can be used to parry and counter long and short-range attacks, such as Phoenix's Heatwave, Garuda's Rook's Gambit, and Titan's Titanic Block. These abilities allow for easier parrying thanks to a much bigger window of opportunity, but they do not slow time as regular parrying does, so take all your options into consideration while defending against the most powerful enemies in Final Fantasy XVI to optimize both your offense and defense. https://wccftech.com/how-to/final-fantasy-xvi-how-to-easily-master-parrying/

.Children were seen putting Frankie in a bag and tossing her in a bin Children put a 22-year-old cat in a plastic bag and dumped her in a wheelie bin, her rescuers have said. Thankfully, Frankie the cat was fished out of the bin in Wymondham, Norfolk, and taken to Feline Care Cat Rescue on Saturday, where founder Molly Farrar put out an appeal on social media. Her owners were quickly found and Frankie is now happily back home. Ms Farrar said CCTV and cameras in the area had been checked and the police had been informed of the incident. Frankie was checked for a microchip at the centre, but while it was not up to date it did reveal that she was originally called Cleo and it contained her age and old address, as ITV first reported.Ms Farrar put out an appeal on Facebook, saying: "We're sure someone must know who she is, please help us find her people. "This old lady needs to be home ASAP.Frankie is now back home with her owners Sure enough, her owners were quickly found and it transpired "Cleo" had been renamed 17 years ago when her previous owners moved and abandoned her. Ms Farrar said so far doorbell footage had failed to identify the children, but she hoped their parents would "help them learn why it was not OK". Frankie's owners said they were delighted to have their pet back. "We are so pleased to have her home, she is jumping from lap to lap getting all the fuss she can," they said. "She is currently sat on my lap on the 'Frankie blankie', as we call it." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-norfolk-66230338

Unlike the Olympics, Wales sends its own national team to the Commonwealth Games By Anna Palmer BBC Wales politics The Welsh government has ruled out bidding to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games. One Tuesday, the Australian state of Victoria scrapped plans to host the games after costs became unmanageable. The Welsh Tories urged ministers to host the games instead, saying the economic benefits would be "immense". But the Welsh government said "budgetary constraints imposed by the UK government" meant it "could not consider" supporting the event. In 2016 the Welsh government decided against bidding to host the 2026 games because of the cost. Ken Skates, who was the economy minister, said it was not feasible after a study revealed it would cost between £1.3bn and £1.5bn. At the time, the Commonwealth Games Federation said it was "surprised" by the figures quoted. Birmingham 2022 Games to cost £778m Seven things you may not know about the Commonwealth Is this the end of the Commonwealth Games? Seven years on, the Victorian government said costs were expected to exceed A$6bn (£3.13bn; $4.09bn). The event was originally estimated to cost around A$2.6bn (£1.4bn; $1.8bn). In response, a UK government spokesperson said the announcement from Victoria was "disappointing for fans and athletes". "We hope that the Commonwealth Games Federation and Commonwealth Games Australia will now work together to find a viable solution to hosting the event in 2026." The Welsh Conservatives' Shadow Minister for Sport Tom Giffard called on the Welsh government to "immediately" start a feasibility study for an "ambitious" Welsh bid. "The news today presents an opportunity for Wales as a sporting nation. Wales considered a bid seven years ago, we would do well to do so again." The Welsh government said it was too focused on delivering the "significant priorities" outlined in its Programme for Government to support the event. The UK government was asked to comment on the Welsh government's remarks. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-66235521

Donald Trump has said he expects to be arrested by a federal inquiry into the US Capitol riot and efforts to challenge the 2020 election results. The ex-president said in a social media post he had been informed by special counsel Jack Smith on Sunday night that he was a target of their investigation. Mr Trump posted that he was told to report to a grand jury, "which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment". The special counsel did not immediately respond to media inquiries. Such an indictment would be Mr Trump's third for alleged criminal offences, including 37 counts brought by Mr Smith's team in June accusing the president of mishandling classified documents.Mr Trump has also been charged in New York City with falsifying business records in 2016 hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. He is due to stand trial in that case next March, while a date for the classified documents case is still being contested by the president's lawyers. What's in the classified document indictment? Explaining the charges recommended by January 6 committeed In a post on his Truth Social platform, Mr Trump claimed that he had been sent a letter "stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment." Mr Smith was appointed special counsel by US Attorney General Merrick Garland shortly after Mr Trump announced his presidential campaign last autumn. His team was tasked with investigating Mr Trump's handling of classified documents after leaving the White House and of managing a sprawling federal investigation into the riot at the US Capitol and attempts by Mr Trump and his advisers to "interfere with the lawful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election". The special counsel's office has not discussed what specific criminal violations they are considering. It is not known if others have been told they are a target. Last December, a House committee investigating the events of January 6 recommended four separate criminal charges be brought against the former president and his associates: Inciting, assisting, aiding or comforting an insurrection Obstruction of an official proceeding Conspiracy to defraud the United States Conspiracy to make a false statement The Democratic-led committee - which included two Republicans - described the criminal referrals as a "roadmap to justice", but prosecutors do not have to follow a congressional committee's recommendations. Mr Smith's own investigation has involved interviews with dozens of top Trump administration officials and advisers, including former Vice-President Mike Pence and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. According to public comments by some who have testified before the grand jury, questions have focused on efforts by Mr Trump's team to organise slates of "fake electors" who would claim that the former president had defeated Democrat Joe Biden in seven key battleground states. State prosecutors in Atlanta, Georgia, are also investigating the former president on similar grounds, focusing on whether he illegally pressured state officials there to discard Mr Biden's victory. In a December 2020 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Mr Trump asked that Georgia officials "find 11,780 votes" that would flip the state to Mr Trump. A decision by Georgia prosecutors on whether to indict Mr Trump is expected in August.When a mob stormed the US capitol Mr Trump is currently the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, with double-digit polling leads over his nearest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. That lead has grown over the course of the past four months, even as his first two indictments were announced. He has frequently painted the investigations - and indictments - as an attempt by his political opponents to prevent him from returning to the White House. The former president's team has said that both indictments led to a surge in fundraising for his campaign. In recently released figures, Mr Trump raised more than $17m (£13m) for his campaign from April to June, with millions more directed to an account that could be used to help finance his legal defence. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66236837

Upgrading @NANO as Leader Of The Project . Wishing you all the best on your new responsability.

We know that Apple is preparing a new generation of equipment. On the one hand, we know that the first iPad Pro OLED will hit the market sooner than expected. And we also know that the company with the bitten apple is working on a larger iMac and that it would have a 32-inch screen. Be careful, the source of the leak is Mark Gurman, a renowned journalist who has published very interesting information in his Bloomberg column, as reported by MacRumors . In it, he points out that this new generation of iMacs is still in the development phase, so he doesn't expect them to launch until late 2024 or sometime in 2025 at the earliest. The first 32-inch iMac will arrive in 2024 or 2025 It is not the first time that we have heard rumors about a possible iMac with a larger screen diagonal. Also, the company's first step was to launch the 32-inch Apple Pro Display XDR monitor, so it makes sense that they bet on an iMac with this size. It should be remembered that Apple stopped selling the Intel-based 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro years ago. And we have been waiting for the version with the Apple Silicon processor, its family of processors, for some time. Until now, the solution was to use the 27-inch Apple Studio Display, its new screen, connected to a Mac Mini . But if you want an all-in-one, the only option available today is the 24-inch iMac.A screen size that is somewhat short today. In addition, the latest model is the one with the M1 processor and it was released in 2021 . Therefore, according to the latest statements by Mark Gurman, the idea of the firm of the bitten apple is to launch a new iMac this year or next with an M3 processor. And, in 2024 or 2025, the first version of the 32-inch diagonal iMac would arrive. We do not have data from the panel, but everything indicates that it would have 6K resolution. As for the price and release date, for now you have to be patient since, until Apple offers official information, they are nothing more than mere speculation. Although it makes all the sense in the world that Apple is going to launch a 32-inch iMac, so it is only a matter of time before they officially announce it, probably in October 2024 or 2025. https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2023/07/10/gadgets/1688990305_054459.html

Apple has introduced support for queries in two languages to its assistant, Siri, from the same device in the latest beta of the iPhone operating system, which was released on Wednesday.Currently, Siri allows queries in a single language, whether on the brand's 'smartphone', on the Mac or on Apple Watch. To choose the language in which it should receive requests and responses, you must access the Settings menu . The company announced at the beginning of last June that the next update of its operating system, which will arrive next fall, would have multiple customization options, both for contacts and with real-time message transcription functions, thanks to Live Voicemail. Apple recently released its first set of public beta versions of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma. With them, functionalities such as the option of configuring a bilingual assistant have been advanced .Specifically, the Cupertino-based company has added support so that users can make a query in two different languages, with compatibility even with the so-called Indic languages, as TechCrunch has verified . As this same medium recalls, the American manufacturer would not be the first to introduce this compatibility in its assistant, since Google Assistant obtained multilingual support in 2018 and Amazon launched it a year later. Another novelty that iOS 17 introduces is the full page screenshot, which Android has been offering for years with the option 'Screenshot with scrolling', with which you can, for example, save a complete chat conversation or a web page. Until now, iPhone users could only save PDF files of a screenshot. https://www.europapress.es/portaltic/software/noticia-ios-17-introduce-soporte-consultas-bilingues-siri-nueva-beta-publica-20230713170658.html

Chinese cooler manufacturer, Jonsbo, has revealed its brand new NF-1 cooler which is compatible with DDR5 memory & offers a unique colorful design. Jonsbo's NF-1 Memory Cooler Supports The Latest DDR5 Standard, Comes With Dual RGB Fans As DDR5 memory continues to push for higher frequencies, the resultant heat can be a slight bit of an issue, especially since the PMIC which handles the power delivery is located on the DRAM itself. As such, cooling manufacturers are offering some unique coolers that come with support for DDR5 memory standards.Jonsbo is one such manufacturer that is well-known in the Asian market for their budget yet high-quality air coolers. The cooling manufacturer is offering its brand-new NF-1 cooler which not only looks unique but should offer plenty of cooling to the DDR5 DIMMs. The NF-1 cooler incorporates two 50mm fans which feature RGB lighting & deliver a unique aesthetic with the perforated shroud which looks really nice.The whole thing measures 120x62x28.1mm and is mainly designed to be compatible with liquid coolers but certain air coolers with larger memory clearance can also support it. The fans come with Hydraulic Bearings and can operate between 600-3600 RPM (+/- 10%), offering up to 9.11 CFM of airflow. The cooling solution is simple to install with just two screws that go into the same spot as the motherboard standoffs. The best part is that the memory cooler comes in both white and black colored designs, offering some room for customization to users besides the added RGB LEDs.Now you might be wondering if this is actually a good product but we cannot say for sure yet since we don't have an official price on the product. It will also be limited to Asian markets. But we know that there are several heatsink-less DDR5 memory modules out there. These modules cost way too cheaper than heatsink modules and if the cooler costs anywhere around $10-$15 US, then it might just be a great solution where you can get decent cooling and even do some minor overclocking on your DDR5 DIMMs. Model： NF-1 White Dimensions：120mm*62mm*28.1mm Fan Bearing Type：50mm* 50mm* 20mm Fan Speed：600-3600RPM(±10%) Fan Air Flow：(1.30-9.11)*2 CFM(MAX) Fan Air Pressure：0.17-1.6mmH2O Fan Noise Level： 22.4dB(A) (MAX) Fan MTTF：≥20000h @25℃ Connector：FAN 4Pin PWM / LED 3Pin ARGB Rated Voltage：Fan 12V LED 5V Rated Current：Fan 0.06A LED 0.24A Power Consumption： Fan 0.72W(MAX) LED 1.2W https://wccftech.com/this-memory-cooler-is-ddr5-compatible-offers-unique-colorful-design-dual-rgb-fans/

Many farmers, especially in the north of Nigeria, have had to stop cultivation because of the threat of violence from criminal gangs By Azeezat Olaoluwa & Cecilia Macaulay BBC News, Lagos & London Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has declared a state of emergency to tackle rising food prices and shortages. Some of the initiatives include using money saved by the recent removal of a fuel subsidy to provide fertiliser and grain to farmers. Protection is also to be increased for farmers, many of whom have abandoned their land after becoming the target of gangs that kidnap for ransom. Poorer households are to be helped too with $10 (£8) a month for six months. "I assure all Nigerians that no-one will be left behind in these strategic interventions," said Mr Tinubu, who took office in May.Kidnap gangs drive big-time Nigerian farmers away A UN report in January projected that 25 million Nigerians were at high risk of food insecurity this year - meaning they would not be able to afford enough nutritious food every day. Concerns about food insecurity have been longstanding in Nigeria - Africa's most-populous country, which has also been battling widespread insecurity for several years. More than 350 farmers were kidnapped or killed in the 12 months up to June 2022 alone, according to a Nigerian security tracking website. Many of these attacks have taken place in the north of the country. But new security measures would mean farmers could return to the farmlands "without fear of attacks", government adviser Dele Alake said. No further details were given about how the government intends to tackle the notorious organised criminal gangs, whose members are referred to as bandits. All matters relating to essential food and water will now to be the responsibility of the National Security Council, which is made up of the country's security chiefs and headed by the president. Mr Tinubu's first major policy move after taking office was to remove the fuel subsidy, which had been in place for decades and kept the price of petroleum products low. Its removal has led to increases of up to 200% in some parts of the country, but the new president has defended the move, saying it is essential to use that money more effectively. The rise in fuel has had a knock-on effect on the economy, with many Nigerians depending on generators for their electricity supply. Just a few days ago the Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria warned that bread prices would spike by 15%. Some families have told BBC Pidgin that they cannot afford to buy bread. "My monthly pension cannot cover the cost of buying bread everyday so we have switched to another more affordable food," Mallam Ado Yahaya, from the northern state of Kano, said. The new monthly stipend is going to 12 million households via a scheme known as the National Safety Net Programme - it is separate from another initiative launched by the previous government through which they receive about $6 a month. These more vulnerable people are also likely to be getting access to grain and fertiliser being offered to farmers - although the statement was not clear on numbers. "It is expected that the programme will stimulate economic activities in the informal sector and improve nutrition, health, education, and human capital development of beneficiaries' households," President Tinubu said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-66199237

During his adventure in Valisthea in Final Fantasy XVI, Clive can learn a variety of Eikon abilities that will let him make short work of all the enemies he will encounter on his path. Even without these abilities, however, Clive is a force to be reckoned with, as his basic skills still make him powerful if used to their full potential. One ability that most players not accustomed to character action games discount as almost useless is Stomp. On the contrary, it is one of the most useful abilities in the game and one that can open up a lot of interesting combat options.How to Use Stomp Like a Pro in Final Fantasy XVI Stomp is part of Clive's basic skillset that can be unlocked right from the start of the game. Once unlocked, you can press the jump button near any enemy to increase jump and height, and duration, which, on paper, doesn't sound particularly useful. The ability, however, has multiple properties that can be used offensively and even defensively.For starters, Stomp can be used to extend aerial combos up to two times once the ability has been mastered. By using Stomp at the right time, you can cancel any attack animation, thus resume your offensive much quicker while keeping the enemy in the air. For example, you can launch an enemy in the air using Torgal's Ravage or any other launcher, use Phoenix Shift to get close to the enemy in the air, use the regular attack string three times, and then press the jump button as soon as the third combo attack connects with the enemy. This will cancel the animation and let you do the basic combo string again, use magic or any other offensive option. By using this technique properly, you can even use multiple Downthrusts in the same combo, which can be quite useful, especially if you have upgraded it to unlock Extreme Downthrust, or Burning Blades.Stom can also be used in Final Fantasy XVI to set up some easy juggle combos. While fighting an enemy in the air, you can use Stomp while holding the control stick back to jump away from the enemy and then use uncharged magic repeatedly to keep it in the air. If you move below it, for example, you can relaunch the enemy with Garuda's Wicked Wheel, or continue the juggle with Ramuh's Thunderstorm, giving you some time to also use Blind Justice without interrupting the combo.Stomp in Final Fantasy XVI also has defensive properties, which work best against bigger enemies. What the game doesn't tell is that Stomp can be used to avoid most attacks if used at the right time. To make an example, the Minotaur's swings can be avoided by using Stomping off of them at the right time, allowing you to quickly use Downthrust to get back on the ground and resume your offensive. This works as an excellent last-second defensive maneuver, so if you master it, no enemy will be able to catch you off-guard. It's also the less risky defensive option, compared to parrying and dodging, as their timings are way stricter. Using defensive Stomps may not be as flashy, no doubt about it, but if you like to change things up a little, mastering this technique will make combat even more fun. https://wccftech.com/how-to/final-fantasy-xvi-how-to-use-stomp-like-a-pro/

Cardiff council says it has insufficient grid capacity at the Lamby Way depot to charge all of its vehicles A council could be set to spend millions of pounds on a new recycling fleet that runs on diesel. Cardiff council is considering getting 41 vehicles for £9.7m to help it improve recycling in the city. Some councillors are concerned the move goes against the authority's intention to reduce its carbon emissions. But limited grid capacity, the price and availability of electric bin lorries forced the council to look at diesel vehicles, a cabinet member said. Caro Wild told an environmental scrutiny meeting that the council would have liked to have made the vehicles electric, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.However, he added, there were a number of issues preventing that. "We have got the biggest electric RCV (refuse collection vehicle) fleet in Wales but… because of the grid capacity at Lamby Way, the availability of the vehicles, the price of them, it is just not possible to do that number at this stage," he said. One member of the committee, Bethan Proctor, said she understood the reasoning behind this, but was concerned. "It did just feel a little bit disappointing that we are purchasing diesel vehicles two years after declaring a climate emergency," she said. Some of the new vehicles will be purchased and some will be leased to allow the council to move away from diesel engines when conditions allow. The council said it was looking at a solution to Lamby Way's grid capacity, including a solar and wind project. The council will also look to procure an extra 20 electric flatbed transit vehicles for cleansing operations next year. The council's recycling trial, which has involved 10,000 households separating their recycling for collection at the kerbside, could be rolled out to another 40,000 homes from November. Cabinet members will meet on 13 July to make a decision on whether or not to approve the proposed procurement. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-66154831

Face masks depicting Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and Russian President Vladimir Putin on sale at a souvenir market in St Petersburg last month By Steve Rosenberg Russia Editor, Moscow Russian President Vladimir Putin met Yevgeny Prigozhin five days after the Wagner mercenary boss led a failed mutiny, the Kremlin has revealed. The BBC's Russia Editor gets to grips with the latest twist in the Wagner saga. So, let me get this straight. On the morning of 24 June, the day of the mutiny, Vladimir Putin accused the Wagner leadership of "treachery" and "a stab in the back". Later that day, Russian air force pilots were killed, shot down by Wagner fighters. Then, with the mercenaries just 200km (120 miles) from the Russian capital, the Kremlin and Wagner did a deal. The mutiny was over. No-one was arrested. No-one has been prosecuted. Not only was Yevgeny Prigozhin not clapped in irons and hauled off to the police station for his rebellion. matter? What we don't know, though, is what exactly was said at that meeting and how it concluded. Judging by what's happened since, this was no "kiss and make up". In recent days, the Russian state media has been working overtime to discredit Mr Prigozhin. Potentially embarrassing photographs allegedly taken during the raid of his St Petersburg mansion were leaked to social media and Russian TV. They showed gold bars, weapons and - bizarrely - a large collection of wigs. Last night Russia-1's flagship show, News of the Week, continued the character assassination. A report about Mr Prigozhin claimed: "He's not the Robin Hood he tried to pass himself off as. He was a businessman with a criminal past. Many of his projects were dodgy and not always within the law." Wagner boss Prigozhin is in Russia, Belarus ruler says From Putin's chef to rebel in chief What is Russia's Wagner mercenary group? And what of that deal between the Kremlin and Wagner to end the mutiny on 24 June? According to the agreement, Mr Prigozhin was supposed to leave Russia for Belarus, along with those Wagner fighters who expressed the desire to join him. Last week the leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, told us that the Wagner chief and his mercenaries weren't there. To summarise his point: they might end up in Belarus - but they might not. So that's all clear then. Not. Where are Wagner? Where is Mr Prigozhin? What are their plans? What have they agreed with Mr Putin? I wish I knew. For now, all I can say is this: stay tuned for the next (inevitably bizarre) episode of Russia: the June Mutiny and the Kremlin. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66154912

The Chrome browser is the one with the greatest presence among users of Android devices, who mainly opt for a 'smartphone' from the Samsung and Xiami brands, although they are in no hurry to update the operating system to access the latest security news and functions. Google Chrome celebrates a decade as the main Android browser thanks to the fact that it is included by default pre-installed in the majority of devices that are marketed, having added two points (85.5%) compared to last year. Samsung 's official browser is the second most used (3.70%), the result of the brand's predominance among users and the South Korean company's strategy of pre-installing its browser on their mobile devices.Opera (1.74%), UC Browser (0.70%) and Mozilla Firefox (0.65%) make up the top 5 most used mobile browsers on Android, as shown in the latest report by the Uptodown application store on user habits, made from the traffic statistics generated by its 132 million unique users per month and more than 4.5 million files published. ANDROID DOES NOT SOLVE YOUR FRAGMENTATION PROBLEM The report also includes the trend of recent years in terms of a decrease in the rate of renewal of terminals by users. Android 11 (20.89%) continues to be the most widespread version of the operating system today for the second consecutive year, which is striking considering that two stableThe last of them , Android 13, is in second position (17.23%), followed by Android 12 (12.95%), Android 10 (12.34%) and Android 9 (8.14%). The fact that a version released almost five years ago is present in the top5 can pose a problem for the security and performance of devices and applications. Regarding the most recent version, Android 13, available since August of last year first on Pixel terminals, although it is in second position, from Uptodown they point out that it has gained "a considerable user base in a short period of time." time since its launch", which is linked to the expectation of improvements in performance, security and new features.Regarding the mobile devices themselves, Samsung is the manufacturer with the largest number of devices on the street, with almost a third of the market (31.51%). It is followed, although not very closely, by Xiaomi, with a share of 18.73 percent, while Huawei (10.04%), OPPO (5.92%) and vivo (5.41%) complete the ranking. However, the most widespread devices among the Android platform are not those of the dominant group, since Xiaomi's Redmi 9, 9A and Note 8 models are the most used. Finally, the Uptodown report also reveals that the screen resolution most used by users is 360 x 800 (14.96%), followed by 360 x 640 (10.41%).

Despite leaving something to be desired when it comes to pure role-playing game mechanics, Final Fantasy XVI still grants players the chance to customize Clive by picking different Eikon abilities loadouts and equipping different items. Among the items that change the character's performance in combat are accessories that grant increased power for Eikon abilities, better healing, reduced cooldown, and so on. One of these accessories, called the Berserker Ring, can spice things up quite a bit by granting Clive access to a new technique, which may be good or bad depending on a lot of different reasons.What is the Berserk Ring in Final Fantasy XVI? The Berserker Ring in Final Fantasy XVI is an accessory that can be obtained in the second half of the game once the Renown mechanics have been unlocked. These mechanics reward Clive with Renown every time he completes a quest, and once enough has been obtained, he can get some unique rewards by speaking with Desiree in the Hideaway to access Patron's Whisper. The Berserker Ring can be obtained once at 85 Renown.News accessory that can be obtained in the second half of the game once the Renown mechanics have been unlocked. These mechanics reward Clive with Renown every time he completes a quest, and once enough has been obtained, he can get some unique rewards by speaking with Desiree in the Hideaway to access Patron's Whisper. The Berserker Ring can be obtained once at 85 Renown. What makes the Berserk Ring unique, compared to all the other accessories in the game, is the fact that it changes the Precision Dodge animation, and grants a very short burst of Limit Breaking, meaning that every time you Precision Dodge any attack, you will be able to unleash abilities that are locked behind Limit Break for a short period of time, such as the extended basic combo string, the more powerful Lunge, and Downthrust, and doubled magic attacks. There's a downside to all of this, however, as you will no longer have access to Precision Counter and Precision Counter Shot. Should You Use the Berserker Ring in Final Fantasy XVI?Using the Berserker Ring in Final Fantasy XVI is ultimately up to personal preference and playstyle. While being able to access Limit Break-exclusive attacks for a short time is a nice thing to have, being unable to use Precision Counter and Precision Counter Shot can throw you off, especially against enemies with a Stagger bar whose attacks cannot be interrupted. Additionally, the Limit Break combo string changes the timing of Parry slightly, so if you have spent a lot of time in Practice Mode mastering your defensive options, you may need some more practice to get used to this small yet significant change. https://wccftech.com/how-to/final-fantasy-xvi-should-you-use-the-berserker-ring/
