Shine bright like a diamond. Galax HOF OC Lab Diamond RGB Galax has expanded its HOF (Hall Of Fame) line with not one, not two, but three new series of high-performance memory kits. Meet the HOF OC Lab Diamond, HOF OC Lab Diamond RGB and HOF OC Lab Phantom RGB product lines. The trio of RAM kits stay true to their HOF roots. They come equipped with a black PCB that's passively cooled by all-white heat spreaders. In the case of the Diamond series, the heat spreaders are adorned with a diamond-shaped pattern, which is available with or without RGB lighting. The Phantom RGB series' heat spreader, meanwhile, boasts a light bar with customizable RGB lighting. Regardless of the series, Galax's memory modules are compatible with po[CENSORED]r motherboard ecosystems, including Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0 and ASRock RGB Sync. Specs Galax builds HOF OC Lab Diamond (RGB) and HOF OC Lab Phantom RGB memory modules with an eight-layer PCB featuring Samsung B-die ICs. The company only sells dual-channel 16GB DDR4 memory kits that are comprised of two 8GB memory modules. The DDR4-5000 memory kit comes equipped with 19-26-26-46 CL timings, and it's only available under the HOF OC Lab Diamond series. However, both series offer memory kits with varying memory speeds between DDR4-4000 and DDR4-4800 with identical timings. The HOF OC Lab Phantom RGB is the only series out of the three that have lower-clocked offerings. The memory speeds span from DDR4-3600 up to DDR4-4000. Like any other memory vendor, Galax backs its memory products with a limited lifetime warranty. At the moment, it's unknown of the new memory kits will be available outside of Asia.

Fine-tune your browser settings to keep trackers off your trail. Privacy is now a priority among browser makers, but they may not go as far as you want in fighting pervasive ad industry trackers on the web. Here's a look at how you can crank up your privacy settings to outsmart that online tracking. Problems like Facebook's Cambridge Analytica scandal have elevated privacy protection on Silicon Valley's priority list by showing how companies compile reams of data on you as you traverse the internet. Their goal? To build a richly detailed user profile on you so that you can become the target of more accurate, clickable and thus profitable advertisements. Apple and Google are in a war for the web, with Google pushing aggressively for an interactive web to rival native apps and Apple moving more slowly in part out of concern those new features will worsen security and be annoying for users. Privacy adds another dimension to the competition and to your browser decision. Apple has made privacy a top priority in all its products, including Safari. For startup Brave, privacy is a core goal, and Mozilla and Microsoft have begun touting privacy as a way to differentiate their browsers from Google's Chrome. It's later to the game, but Chrome engineers have begun building a "privacy sandbox" despite Google's reliance on ad revenue. For all of the browsers listed here, you can give yourself a privacy boost by changing the default search engine. For instance, try DuckDuckGo. Although its search results may not be as useful or deep as Google's, DuckDuckGo is a longtime favorite among the privacy minded for its refusal to track user searches. Other universal options that boost privacy include disabling your browser's location tracking and search engine autocomplete features, turning off password autofills, and regularly deleting your browsing history. In the meantime, though, here are some simple settings you can change in your current browser to help keep a good portion of advertising trackers off your trail. Chrome Unfortunately, the world's most po[CENSORED]r browser is also generally thought to be one of the least private when used straight out of the box. On the plus side, however, Chrome's flexible and open-source underpinnings have allowed independent developers to release a slew of privacy focused extensions to shake off trackers. In the Chrome Web Store, click Extensions on the left and type the name of the extension you're looking for into the search bar. Once you find the correct extension in the search results, click Add to Chrome. A dialog will pop up explaining which permissions the extension will have for your browser. Click Add extension to bring the extension into your browser. If you change your mind, you can manage or remove your extensions by opening Chrome and clicking the three dot More menu on the right. Then select More Tools and then Extensions. From here, you'll also be able to see more about the extension by clicking Details. Here are four extensions to look at as you get started: Cookie Autodelete, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and HTTPS Everywhere. If you're on Android, sorry: extensions don't work. So you'll have to switch browsers altogether to something like DuckDuckGo's app. In the same three-dot menu in Chrome, you can also block third-party cookies by selecting Settings, then scrolling down to the Privacy and security section and clicking Cookies and other site data. From here, select Block third-party cookies. Read more: Google Chrome privacy isn't the best. These browser extensions will help Safari By default, Safari turns on its proprietary Intelligent Tracking Prevention tool to keep you a step ahead of privacy pests. Even so, the tool hasn't always worked smoothly since its 2017 debut. Google researchers spotted how Intelligent Tracking Prevention itself could be used to track users, though Apple buttoned down the problem. Safari 14, announced in June and arriving later in 2020 with new MacOS Big Sur, will be able to tell you which ad trackers are running on the website you're visiting and give you a 30 day report of the known trackers it's identified while you were browsing. It'll also tell you which websites those trackers came from. To check that blocking is on, open Safari and click Preferences, then Privacy. The box beside Prevent cross-site tracking should be checked. While you're there, you can also manually delete your cookies. Click Manage Website Data to see which sites have left their trackers and cookies hanging out in your browser. Click Remove next to any of the individual trackers you're ready to get rid of, or just nuke the whole list by clicking Remove All at the bottom of your screen. Cookies can be helpful, not just invasive, but for stronger privacy you can block them altogether -- both first-party cookies from the website publisher and third-party cookies from others like advertisers. To do so, check the box beside Block all cookies. Apple will start blocking most third-party cookies by default with MacOS Big Sur and iOS 14. If you're still looking for another layer of privacy, you can also install helpful extensions from the App Store like AdBlock Plus for or Ghostery Lite for Safari. Edge Microsoft's Edge browser includes some simplified privacy and tracker blocking options on its Tracker prevention screen. Within Edge, select the three dot menu icon in the top right corner and select Settings. From the menu that then appears on the left, select Privacy and services. You'll be offered three settings to choose from: Basic, Balanced and Strict. By default, Edge uses the Balanced setting, which blocks trackers from sites you haven't visited while still being lenient enough to save most sites from some of the loading problems that may come with tighter security. Likewise, Edge's Strict setting may interfere with how some sites behave, but will block the greatest number of trackers. Even the Basic setting will still block trackers used for cryptomining and fingerprinting. Read more: Microsoft Edge privacy settings to change right away Firefox Firefox's default privacy settings are more protective than those of Chrome and Edge, and the browser has more privacy options under the hood, too. From inside Firefox's main menu -- or from inside the three lined menu on the right side of the toolbar -- select Preferences. Once the Preferences window opens, click Privacy & Security. From here, you'll be able to choose between three options: Standard, Strict and Custom. Standard, the default Firefox setting, blocks trackers in private windows, third party tracking cookies and cryptominers. The Strict setting may break a few websites, but it blocks everything blocked in Standard mode, plus fingerprints and trackers in all windows. Custom is worth exploring for those who want to fine tune how trackers are being blocked. To apply your new tracking settings after you've selected your level of privacy, click the Reload All Tabs button that appears. Read more: With Firefox, stop leaking your data across the internet Brave When it comes to antitracking tools, Safari's latest privacy updates are still short of most of those found in the Brave browser. By default, Brave blocks all ads, trackers, third party cookies and third-party fingerprinters while still achieving blazing speeds. Brave also offers a built in Tor private browsing mode, a heavy duty tracker blocking option, and added a built in VPN for iOS users. Inside Brave's main menu, select Preferences to reveal the Settings panel on the left. Select Shields to see a list of privacy options on the right side of the screen. By selecting the Advanced view, you'll be able to choose which kinds of trackers to block. By scrolling down, you'll also be able to block login buttons and embedded content from Facebook, Twitter, Google and LinkedIn. For even more protection and privacy fine tuning, explore Additional Settings on the left, and select Privacy and security.

Original release date : July 30, 2020 Developer : Gust Genre : Role-playing video game Platforms : PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows Publishers : Koei Tecmo Holdings , KOEI TECMO AMERICA Corporation Fairy Tail has become one of the more po[CENSORED]r franchises in recent memory. With a rich story that has spanned almost 300 anime episodes and a best-selling manga, it’s about time the franchise has gotten its first major video game release. Developed by GUST and published by Koei Tecmo, Fairy Tail does a great job at delivering the fan service but falls a little short in other areas and for newcomers to the series. A Must Have For Fans Of The Franchise Fairy Tail takes place during the Grand Magic Games story arc which is about the halfway point of the anime and manga and ends with the Tartaros arc, though there is a surprise epilogue included in the game too. That means a lot of the characters and their backstories have already been explored and chances are unless you’re a fan you’re going to be very confused in the early going. The Grand Magic Games is considered to be the best arc of the franchise but where the story starts and where it ends will leave gamers wondering just what the hell happened before and what happens after. Taking Place halfway thought the Fairy Tail story, there are a lot of already established locations and characters that may leave most confused. It’s like reading a book from the middle for a few chapters and trying to connect the dots and guess how it will end. The game does provide a small explanation of what happened in past arcs but it doesn’t really go into much detail about it. It does the same thing with the characters as well. Why is Jellal so hated by so many people from other guilds? Why is everyone obsessed with Zeref and what exactly is Acnalogia? These are some of the questions that are never really explored in the two story arcs the game follows and only fans of the franchise will really be able to follow and understand it. Though Fairy Tail isn’t very welcoming to new fans it’s easily a must-buy for fans of the franchise. A lot of character quarks are present not only in cutscenes but also in combat while the game’s writing is top-notch and goes hand in hand with the source material beautifully. Plenty Of Combat Options Feel Like Overkill For A Simple Game Fairy Tail is a turn-based JRPG. As such, this suits the game perfectly and lets you try out a vast amount of characters and their unique moves that fans have become accustomed to. Enemies appear on the various maps that you explore so battles aren’t random and can be avoided which is great because there are a lot of foes that appear and sometimes not all of them are worth fighting. Combat takes center stage in Fairy Tail and what you’ll be doing most of the time. So it’s a good thing that the combat not only works well but it’s also fun. Battles are turn-based and enemies appear on a grid. Magic is your primary attack and what you’ll use for every battle. You do have a normal attack but it’s so weak you’ll only use it when you’ve run out of magic points which won’t happen very often. Each magic attack takes up your magic points. Each attack has an attack pattern based on the grid. Some skills will attack in a horizontal line up to three spaces while another skill will only hit enemies in an There are plenty of skills to use against your enemies including cool Chain Link attacks and tag attacks. Finding what attack to use and when to use it is quite fun and allows you to constantly use different attacks and strategies. Sure, one move may cost more magic points to use but that doesn’t mean it will do more damage, rather it will hit more enemies. Each magic attack also has a power level between one and five. As your character levels up so will your kills and their attack damage, providing a nice sense of progression into the bargain too. Most of the skills also add different effects, such as inflicting defense down or stunning enemies. The more important ones will allow you to knock enemies around the grid moving them into positions for better attacks. The Power Of Team Work There is a lot that goes into combat besides just simply attacking. Fairy Tail offers a lot of different options and features. Chain Link is one such ability where you can link attacks between all the party members to pull off a power finishing combo attack. It also allows you to summon in a non-playable character such as Master Makarov or Kanna who hold the most power Fairy Tail abilities. Each character also has an Awakening bar that fills up during combat. This bar when full will allow you to awaken a character. Early on you’ll simply gain a buff for an attack but later on characters will actually transform giving them new abilities and skills only accessible in the awakened phase. The game features plenty of cool effects and attacks that fans will easily recognize. The Awakening bar has another use. While filling up you can choose to use a part of the bar to call upon an ally to perform a follow-up attack after at no extra charge to that character’s own magic points. Although you have a lot of tools to help you out in combat, a lot of it truly feels like overkill as there are a lot of those tools that you simply won’t need to use. The game itself isn’t very difficult with only a few encounters feeling truly difficult. Encounters probably wouldn’t have been so easy for me if I didn’t level up and boost myself doing the various request board missions. Competing Requests Rewards You In More Ways Than One Taking on requests are Fairy Tail’s side activities. The Request Board will constantly update with various missions to complete. Most of these are simple kill X amount of monsters, but some of them actually have some fun cut-scenes and humorous dialogue. The quests almost feel like filler episodes of the anime where the guide members try to stop a smuggling ring in the town of Magnolia or recovering stolen mail packages that contain delicate female undergarments that a perv has stolen. Fairy Tail seems to reward you for everything you do. Completing requests not only grants you currency but also increases your Guild Rank. Another benefit is increasing your guildmates Bonds. Increasing your character’s bonds will not only unlock character-specific side stories but allows them to perform longer and more powerful Chain Links together. Many characters outside the Fairy Tail guild join the party and most of them add some great humor to combat. Ichiya uses the smell of perfumes to make himself stronger You’ll also gain renown for completing requests which are used to increase a guild member rank. Increasing the character’s rank will net you alternate costumes to wear but more importantly passive abilities for characters. These are all character specific and play to the source material. Lucy will unlock the ability to get into a seductive position before a battle begins to give her teammates an advantage in battle by distracting the enemies something she tries to do a lot in the anime hoping she can distract the more pervy enemies she encounters. While Gray has a five percent chance of taking off his clothes during combat to increase his speed. Rebuilding Your Guild Nets Plenty Of Rewards Since the game takes place during the Grand Magic Games. Fairy Tail as a guild has been reduced to almost nothing. Rebuilding the guild is one of your objectives. There are various parts of the guild you can rebuild and improve, such as the Item Shop and Laboratory. The Laboratory allows you to create Lacrima which acts as the games equipment, altering a character’s stats. Upgrading and remodeling the guild will also net you some cool permanent increase such as increasing how much EXP reserve party members receive, or cheaper shop prices. Rebuilding the guild is an integral part of the game and the better the guild looks the more requests the guild will receive. The writing is top-notch. It’s so close to the source material you would think Hiro Mahima wrote the entire game himself The various locations in the country of Fiora are fairly standard for a fantasy RPG, forests, snowy mountains, and tropical beaches are fully explorable. The game itself isn’t a graphical powerhouse though. It’s not a bad looking game by any stretch but it clearly doesn’t push the envelope. in fact, GUST’s own past titles look better for the most part. The world itself also isn’t really that exciting. NPCs simply just stand in one spot mostly by themselves and you can clearly see at least three or four of the same NPC character model on one screen at some points. A Vast Amount Of Missing Characters Hurts The Story The main character models themselves look great with GUST’s signature art style, but there is a catch. Not all characters are actually in the game. I found this incredibly frustrating as you’ll watch scenes transpire which sees your party in a conversation with a character that doesn’t exist. Their speak bubble appears and you see their illustration but they don’t actually have a character model they talk with. It wouldn’t be a problem for small characters but in most cases, it’s dealing with legit big level villains and allies. It’s horrible to walk into your own guild and see it po[CENSORED]ted by random NPCs rather than your actual guildmates. Fairy Tail doesn’t feature an English dub which is a shame as the English voice-over work for the anime was pretty good. The game is fully voiced in Japanese and the music, though not licensed from the anime, tries really hard to recreate the feel and sound of the anime. Fairy Tail is a good first attempt to bring this overdue and massive license to the gaming genre. The deep yet simple combat keeps things fresh throughout and the great writing and characters will make Fairy Tail fans ecstatic. It’s just a shame that so many characters are not only absent from the game but that you never really got to see them grow into the characters they are during the Grand Magic Games.

Would you like some motherboard with your AIO? In an attempt to differentiate from everything that's out there, Gigabyte latest motherboard comes with an all-in-one watercooler that cools both the CPU and the VRM circuitry. The combination is known as the Z490 Aorus Master Waterforce, not to be mixed up with the Z490 Aorus Xtreme Waterforce, which requires a custom open loop. The motherboard is built around the LGA1200 socket, meaning it supports the latest Intel Comet Lake-S processors, and it's clearly built for housing the infamous Core i9-10900K with its mighty 10 cores. At 14nm, that chip is capable of generating quite a bit of heat, and a good VRM system does it some favors in terms of how far it can be overclocked. Of course, the heat this chip produces needs to be dealt with, and that's where the huge 360 mm liquid cooler comes in. With three 120 mm RGB fans, it's quite a sizable cooler and should be more than capable of dealing with the tremendous heat generated by the CPU. The motherboard comes with a 14+1 phase VRM circuit, along with all the features one could reasonably ask for on a Z490 motherboard including lavish IO, plenty of fan headers, a high-end ESS ES9118EQ DAC, and plastic decorative shielding in ample amounts. But the reason we say that the watercooler comes with a motherboard is because you need to be aware of the risk you're taking when indulging in a product like this one. The motherboard itself is only good as long as the liquid cooler is, as as much as VRM circuitry does not need liquid cooling, it does need some cooling and without the liquid cooler, it won't be much use. On most systems, if the cooler fails you can simply replace the afflicted part and move on with your day, but if this all-in-one liquid cooler breaks you're going to have to find the exact same one to get your system working again, and a generic AIO won't work as a temporary fix. Thankfully, AIO's have become increasingly reliable and regularly making it to 5-7 years of age, but personally, I wouldn't take any chances with a setup like this.

Onavo VPN controversy is still fresh in the minds of US lawmakers The chief executives of Amazon, Apple, Alphabet and Facebook recently testified before Congress at a nearly six-hour House Judiciary hearing in which they were questioned as part of an antitrust investigation. When asked about last year's controversial Onavo VPN app by Representative Hank Johnson, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg played coy and acted as if he knew much less about the app than he likely did. The social media giant first acquired Onavo back in 2013 for close to $200m with the aim of using its VPN service to secretly gather data about how consumers users their smartphones. Facebook then released an app called Onavo Project which Apple banned from the App Store for collecting and reporting usage data. As a result of the controversy surrounding its Onavo Protect, Facebook then began to refer to its Research app as Project Atlas which it used to continue collecting user data in blatant disregard to Apple's policies. In order to get users to install its Research app on their smartphones, the company decided to pay them up to $20 per month. However, it was later discovered that in addition to adults, Facebook had also been paying teenagers to install the app. At the time, TechCrunch broke the story and Apple issued a ban, though the social media company claimed it had removed the app voluntarily. Playing coy Rep. Johnson began his line of questioning by asking Zuckerberg if Facebook was kicked out of the App Store once Apple had learned that the social media giant was using Onavo to conduct surveillance on users. While this was the case, Zuckerberg said that the company “took the app out after Apple changed their policies on VPN apps”. Apple did not change its policy on VPN apps but rather on businesses misusing its Enterprise Certificate program which is meant for internal company apps only. Facebook distributed its Research app to users as if they were employees receiving an app from the company. In response, Apple revoked all of the social network's certificates and broke Facebook's own apps in the process. When asked if Facebook had paid teenagers to sell their privacy by installing the Facebook Research app, Zuckerberg once again said he was unfamiliar with app despite the fact that he most likely wasn't. Zuckerberg went on to say that businesses use surveys and data to better understand how people are using their products and while true, this wasn't the case with its VPN app. Facebook's CEO may have skirted Rep. Johnson's questions, but he later backpedaled, saying: “In response to Congressman Johnson’s question, before I said that I wasn’t familiar with the Facebook Research app when I wasn’t familiar with that name for it. I just want to be clear that I do recall we used an app for research and it’s since been discontinued.”

Original releases : Destroy All Humans! (2005); June 21, 2005 Latest versions : Destroy All Humans! (2020); July 28, 2020 Genre : Action-adventure game Developers : THQ , Black Forest Games , Pandemic Studios , Cranky Pants Games , Black Forest Games GmbH Editors : THQ (2005–2013), THQ Nordic (2013–) Destroy All Humans is a fun sandbox to wreak havoc through, but it spends too much time on other things. I love two types of sci-fi stories: the ones that are very dark and heavy with themes about humanity's failures, and the ones that are corny and feel like the product of someone who thinks space is a playground for fun. Destroy All Humans is firmly in the second category, embracing its cheesy story and dialogue, creating an entertaining sandbox for destruction that's still satisfying 15 years after its first release, even if it's bogged down by poor audio quality and shallow stealth mechanics. The story plays out as a B-grade sci-fi movie set in the late '50s/early '60s. Over the six hours of campaign missions you'll laugh (or groan) at the majority of jokes and bad one-liners, making for an overall enjoyable experience. The premise of two aliens completely taking over America because humans are wildly incompetent is too ridiculous to take seriously, and the game embraces the absurdity well. The voice work from the original release helps up the camp level, but the reused dialogue raises a few issues. The audio quality is flat-out bad by modern standards; its low-fidelity really sticks out when paired with the updated graphics. The characters don't have very many lines, either, resulting in annoying repetition very early on. Be prepared to hear about communists hundreds of times before you're done. Most of the cutscenes and dialogue are between alien protagonists Crypto and Orthopox, both of whom give strong performances, even if they feel at odds with each other. Crypto is played as a C-tier action hero, with bad one-liners that feel delivered by an uninterested actor, which is probably intentional. That clashes with the over-the-top Invader Zim-style performance given for Orthopox, which feels like he didn't get the direction for campiness that everyone else did. The clashing performances play out comedically for the most part but create some tonal whiplash whenever only one of them has a more serious moment and the other continues trying to riff. The game's main campaign is split into missions across six maps, although one of them, Turnipseed Farms, is only used for the tutorial. Campaign missions consist of two types of gameplay: stealth and action. The stealth sections are fairly one-note, with you taking on a human disguise that needs to be occasionally refueled by brain zapping more humans. Additional obstacles, like EMP devices and Majestic Agents, force you to avoid staying in their range for too long, but don't provide much more challenge beyond zig-zagging to your objective. The rest of the main missions involve going loud and, well, destroying all humans. Crypto is armed with four weapons and Psychokinesis, which allows you to zap, disintegrate, probe, and throw people and vehicles. A satisfying traversal ability called SKATE lets you glide around the world, and it feels very fluid. It allows you to go into a skateboard-type movement after dashing, letting you move quickly around the environment with precise steering. You can easily make quick turns and jump over objects while continuing to glide. The third-person shooting automatically locks on to enemies, allowing you to dynamically move and fire, smoothly dodging into cover or out of the way of missiles between each shot. All of the weapons have varying ammo capacities and damage levels and the weapon wheel allows for easy switching, so utilizing all of your tools during a firefight feels natural. As more powerful enemies are introduced, you also begin to unlock more abilities and upgrades, which ensure you remain more powerful than the humans, but not to the point of being overpowered. The enemies shout silly lines about being burned or attacked and vehicles always explode when defeated, embracing the power fantasy. As you cause more destruction, your notoriety increases, leading to larger and more powerful responses from the humans. Causing mayhem and destruction is incredibly fun and when the game is at its best. In other missions, you're instead in Crypto's saucer. Its weapons lack the variety of Crypto's own arsenal, but wrecking a town's worth of buildings still feels great. Not only do some of the weapons produce fiery leftovers, but the buildings explode into tons of pieces, which is satisfying every time. There's a lack of variety in the human enemies though, who are limited to police officers, soldiers, Majestic agents, and mutated Majestic agents. The vehicles run into a similar issue, with the only offensive vehicles being tanks and robot mechs, which, like the human enemies, rely primarily on guns. There are a fairly limited number of character models in the game and as a result, it makes the otherwise enjoyable combat encounters feel repetitive. The campaign missions also feel disconnected. Most of them abruptly end when the objective is met, even if you're in the middle of a firefight. Not every mission ends in a cutscene either, so you may simply get kicked back to the mission select, which is jarring. Each campaign mission has anywhere from one to four optional objectives, which can involve not getting detected, killing enemies in a certain way, or destroying specific vehicles. These optional objectives add an extra twist to the combat encounters and, if missed, can easily be replayed. However, most campaign missions aren't unique enough from the rest of the game to warrant a second runthrough. The game has three boss fights, two of which are back-to-back at the end of the campaign. These bosses go against the game's ethos of overpowered carnage seen in the rest of the game--each boss has a large health bar that needs to be drained three times to be defeated, and they take a while to get through. None of the fights are particularly challenging either--each boss only has a handful of attacks, all of which are heavily telegraphed and easily dodgeable--which makes these encounters tedious more than anything. After playing through all of the missions available in each area, you unlock the ability to free-roam through the maps, letting you return to complete some challenges. There are four types of challenges: Armageddon, Race, Abduction, and Rampage, with one of each challenge in every map. All four of the challenges are enjoyable in their own ways, with Rampage and Armageddon tasking you with bringing destruction either on the ground or in the area using Crypto's saucer. Abduction tasks you with throwing specific objects or people into an abduction beam, which results in frantic action. Lastly, the Race challenges involve using the SKATE ability and your jetpack to quickly traverse the terrain, which shows off how well the overhauled movement system works by having you jump, jetpack, and glide behind a drone, all of which feels precise. None of the challenges are particularly difficult, especially when you have the majority of the upgrades unlocked, which feeds into the game's power fantasy of superior beings annihilating the human race. With only 24 challenges total, the game offers just enough to experience the mayhem without feeling like a slog to finish. Destroy All Humans certainly shows its age in places. The stealth missions are rudimentary, the boss fights are tedious, and some poor audio work won't let you forget that this is a game from 15 years ago. However, its core loop of causing destruction and mayhem, laying waste to humans and cities, still feels satisfying. Destroy All Humans often feels like the PS2 game it is, but a fresh coat of paint and updated controls definitely make this remake enjoyable to play through today.

Businesses can now identify online fraud in real-time using Amazon Fraud Detector In an effort to make it easier for businesses to identify fraud online, AWS has developed a new fully managed service called Amazon Fraud Detector which leverages the e-commerce giant's years of experience detecting fraud as well as machine learning. The new service can automatically identify potentially fraudulent activity in milliseconds using machine learning, though businesses won't need to have any machine learning experience to start using it. With just a few clicks in the Amazon Fraud Detector console, businesses can select a pre-built machine learning model template, upload historical event data and create decision logic to assign outcomes to the service's predictions. There are also no up-front payments, long-term commitments or infrastructure to manage with Amazon Fraud Detector. Instead, customers only pay for their actual usage of the service. Vice president of Amazon AI, Swami Sivasubramanian provided further insight on the new service in a press release, saying: “Customers of all sizes and across all industries have told us they spend a lot of time and effort trying to decrease the amount of fraud occurring on their websites and applications. By leveraging 20 years of experience detecting fraud coupled with powerful machine learning technology, we’re excited to bring customers Amazon Fraud Detector so they can automatically detect potential fraud, save time and money, and improve customer experiences—with no machine learning experience required.” Amazon Fraud Detector Tens of billions of dollars are lost to online fraud every year and this has led some organizations to invest in large, expensive fraud management systems. However, these systems are often based on hand-coded rules that require a lot of time to set up, are expensive to customize and difficult to update as fraud patterns change leading to lower accuracy. Over the past 20 years, Amazon has made significant investments in combating online fraud using sophisticated machine learning techniques. The company's customers have asked it to share this expertise and experience to help them combat online fraud which is why AWS developed Amazon Fraud Detector. To get started using the service, customers first need to upload historical event data such as transactions or account registrations to Amazon S3. This data is then encrypted (in transit and in rest) and used to customize the machine learning model's training. Based on the type of fraud customers want to predict, Amazon Fraud Detector will pre-process the data, select an algorithm and train a model. Amazon Fraud Detector is available now in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Singapore) and Asia Pacific (Sydney) regions though AWS plans to roll out the service to additional regions in the coming months.

RTX 2080 card prices are up and rumors are swirling, paving the way for the next generation RTX 30-series. A few weeks ago, I wrote about how it's a terrible time to buy a graphics card—at least a high-end card. The reasoning is simple: GPUs like the Nvidia RTX 3080 are coming soon, and AMD's Big Navi isn't far behind. If you want yet another reason to not buy a high-end card, however, just look at prices. Six months ago, the RTX 2080 Ti could be found for around $1,050, and the RTX 2080 Super was regularly available for $650. Now, you'd be lucky to find either GPU at the original launch prices of $1,200 and $700. If that's not enough to go on, I've heard some companies will have 'final' Ampere GPUs as early as next week. Perhaps COVID-19 caused a spike in demand. People are staying home, working from home, and social distancing via games. We've seen supplies of certain devices, like webcams, practically evaporate during the pandemic. But high-end GPUs don't really fall into that same category. A far less likely scenario is that the recent increase in cryptocurrency prices is to blame, but I don't think so. Before the massive plunge to under $5,000 that happened in March, Bitcoin was at $7,000 to $11,000 for quite a while. It's now back to $11,000, the highest price in nearly a year, but that doesn't make it a great mining investment. Current calculations suggest you could mine alternative cryptocurrencies and trade for Bitcoin to earn about $2.15-$2.50 per day with an RTX 2080 Ti, but after electricity costs, you'd be looking at closer to $1.50 per day in profit. That's not nothing, but at current prices it would take over two years just to break even, and cryptocurrency is far too volatile for most to consider a two-year investment in hardware. The most likely cause is that consumer Ampere GPUs are nearly here. Nvidia and its partners have supposedly halted production of the top Turing products in preparation for the incoming Ampere launch. Nvidia isn't saying anything officially, but a quick look at some po[CENSORED]r system integrators suggests the top GPUs are indeed being phased out. Yes, you can still find a pre-built PC with an RTX 2080 Ti if you look around, but many SIs don't appear to stock the part any longer. And why would they, considering they know better than anyone what sells and are likely briefed on when Ampere will land? Top-tier soon-to-be-outdated GPUs shouldn't be on anybody's shopping list right now. If you're wondering, the cheapest RTX 2080 Super I can find in stock right now comes from Walmart for $720, and many places are sold out, including Nvidia's own RTX 2080 Super FE. You can find a few RTX 2080 Ti cards for under $1,200 at Newegg, but they're refurbished; the least expensive new RTX 2080 Ti I can find sits at $1250. Again, Nvidia's RTX 2080 Ti FE is out of stock. When Nvidia isn't even trying to sell its highest performance cards, it's a safe bet the replacements are nearly here. There's potentially bad news as well, however. While the RTX 2080 Ti and 2080 Super are becoming less common, RTX 2070 Super and lower are still reasonably available. My thought right now is that the RTX 30-series Ampere GPUs will start at the extreme end of the performance and pricing spectrum, which could mean prices of $1,000 or more at launch. Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but if RTX 3090 (or whatever the top part is called) ends up pummeling the RTX 2080 Ti the way I expect it to, it could easily go for $1,500 or more. RTX 3080 (3080 Ti, 3080 Super, 3080 whatever) could then take over the $1,000 mark, and RTX 3070 would fill the $700 slot. Yuck. Hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully we'll see RTX 3070 for $500 and RTX 380 for $700—possibly less if you like to dream, since dreams are free. Whatever the price, there are plenty of indications that Ampere will land in September, maybe even late August. Is that too soon? I've heard credible rumors that system integrators and Nvidia's add-in board partners will have final retail products in the next week or two, giving them time to gear up for launch. All I have to say: It's about freaking time. Ampere rumors have been swirling since last year, and many (including myself) expected a spring 2020 launch. We're well past that now, at least in part thanks to COVID-19. I haven't had a properly 'new' GPU to test since last year's AMD Navi launch! With plenty of time to clear out inventory of previous generation parts, Ampere RTX 30-series GPUs launching in the next month would be perfect timing from a business standpoint. Then people can head back to 'virtual' school while getting distracted by video games running on a shiny new graphics card.

PLATFORM : Android/iOS/PCS/witch DEVELOPER : Sketchy Logic PUBLISHER : Sketchy Logic RELEASE DATE : January 30, 2020 The courtroom drama and narrative charm of the Ace Attorney series has captivated me since it’s initial UK release in 2006 Larger than life characters and murder most foul, the games garnered an immediate following which I was happy to be a part of. I was unaware that the glaring problem with this series was a distinct lack of bird characters, until Aviary Attorney: Definitive Edition was brought to my attention. Set in 1870s France with a full cast of animal characters, the murder is “fowler” than ever before (collect your coat on the way out – Ed). You play the role of Jayjay Falcon, a fledgling defence attorney. After finally receiving your first high profile case, you’re tasked with defending an innocent socialite in court and finally getting the kudos as a lawyer you need to succeed in Paris. With some help from your eccentric assistant Sparrowson, you’ll need to gather evidence and information that will help you win convince the jury that your client is innocent. Much like the series it takes inspiration from, Aviary Attorney has two main sections of gameplay: investigation and the courtroom. The investigation sections take you all around the city, talking to potential suspects or searching crime scenes. When searching the streets of Paris for clues, each area you travel to takes a day out of your calendar. With only a set amount of days to collect evidence until your court date, you often have to make a judgement call on which lead is more promising. You also have options of how to approach the key people in your latest case, putting too much pressure on an uppity feline can result in you losing potential evidence and struggling in the courtroom. Not all investigations call for the same tack when it comes to discovering the truth. There are times where the only way forward seems to involve the spending of your carefully earnt Francs. Without getting the payday you need from a successful case, it may become necessary to take to the Blackjack table, or as its known in Aviary Attorney, Jacques-Noir. A simple game seeking 21 can net you a handy boost to your wallet. Inevitably, your court date comes whether you are prepared for it or not. Your time before the judge is quite simple – the prosecution will present witnesses, detectives and the like, and you will ask questions about key phrases in their testimony. When inevitably something seems unusual about a statement, you’ll need to use your hard earned evidence to prove something is amiss, and hopefully your client’s innocence. Unlike Ace Attorney success is not the only way to end a trial, and if you don’t have the evidence you need you might have an innocent client take an extended stay at his majesty’s pleasure. It cannot be understated how funny a game Aviary Attorney is. Sparrowson is undoubtedly the star of the show in the comedy department. When searching a crime scene he’ll constantly chip in with terrible puns and goofy antics, and will often get overexcited when food is mentioned in an all too relatable way. Sparrowson also introduces you to some important mechanics, including the “Face Book” where you collect information about the citizens of Paris. There are a whole host of charming and over the top characters joining the law serving duo throughout the game. From a salty old war bird missing a hand (claw?) to a cigar smoking aristocat, the larger than life cast rarely fail to induce a smile. It isn’t all laughter in the life of an Aviary Attorney however, and with France on the cusp of a revolution the game gets unexpectedly dark. Corrupt judges and potentially dangerous rebels soon become common in your adventure, and a shake up to the very heart of government seems inevitable. The twists and turns of the game’s story are incredibly intriguing, and I rarely felt that I knew what was around the corner on my quest for justice. Failing in certain cases can even shape how France deals with the shifting balance of power, with three entirely different final cases. The fact I’ve gotten this far into the review without mentioning the beautiful art style of Aviary Attorney: Definitive Edition is almost criminal (leave your coat; just go – Ed). Inspired by the work of 19th century caricaturist J. J. Grandville, it may be one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Every scene is simply a piece of art, and I could spend hours just taking in each character’s jaw dropping portrait. The gorgeous monochromatic shading needs to be seen to be believed, and the accompanying classical soundtrack is a perfect fit for the setting. I have very few complaints from my time with Aviary Attorney: Definitive Edition. The court cases are often a little straightforward as the focus of the game is more on collecting evidence. When asked where the blood from the defendants hands is from, choosing the only item with blood in it is hardly a brain teaser. I also thought it was over with too quickly, but I’m fairly certain that’s just because I loved it so much. Aviary Attorney manages to be beautiful, hilarious and shocking all in the same breath. It mimics Ace Attorney is all the right ways, while also showcasing an entirely different world and a revolutionary story. It may not be the hardest or the longest game, but my adventures with Falcon and Sparrowson left me wanting more. Requirements: MINIMUM: Operating system : Windows 7, 8, or 10 RAM: 2 GB of memory Disk space : 500 MB of available disk space RECOMMENDED: Operating system : Windows 7, 8, or 10 RAM: 3 GB of memory Disk space : 500 MB of available disk space

‘Free’ either carries a hidden price, or might not be enough If you are using Windows 10, you will almost certainly already have antivirus protection already courtesy of Microsoft. So why would you need to pay for one when you already have a security solution present? Well, here are some genuinely good reasons why you should opt for a paid antivirus application instead of keeping or downloading a freebie. No-go for businesses? In general, antivirus companies do not allow the use of free antivirus in a business, allowing only a strict personal, non-commercial home usage. Why? Some would argue that it’s because there is no reason to kill a lucrative market. However, what most companies need to ensure a solid level of protection goes past the ‘mere antivirus’ tool. Layered defense technologies built on top of antivirus engines are a minimum of protection for businesses, and anti-malware vendors would rather not promote their basic technologies as a silver bullet for a company’s cybersecurity challenges. Make sure you read the EULA (End User License Agreement) before completing the installation of any antivirus product, or your company might be in breach of the terms and conditions of use. You simply get far more by paying The old adage “you get what you pay for” is true for free software and antivirus in particular. Free antivirus provides just that – free protection against viruses and malware, and nothing more. They often use the same core engine as paid-for solutions, but are stripped of any additional but still important features. Pay a bit more and you can get a more complete solution: some offer ransomware protection, a VPN, a password manager, a firewall, parental controls and a dozen more features, across up to five devices, for as little as pennies per day per device. Paying for something means you can demand a minimum quality of service Should you complain about something you received for free? Sure, you can, but chances are that vendors will prioritize problems that come from paid customers. Those customers are likely to get updates and fixes faster than those using the free version. Nevertheless, you can always try the software first – Bitdefender, like others, offers a no-commitment 30-day free trial which can be used to test the security solution. After which you can decide whether or not you want to fork out some money, or not. Remember, the longer your subscription and the more devices you have, the cheaper the cost per device, as a rule of thumb. Safeguarding 10 devices for three years can cost as little as £0.38 a month, with complete anti-malware protection on mobile and fixed devices. You get better management solutions A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and this holds true in online security as well. Cybercriminals and hackers can penetrate a network by relentlessly searching for an unprotected device. Securing all your smartphones and other devices can become a management nightmare – especially with free virus protection programs. That’s why some antivirus companies bundle management features with their paid offering. Look for a good one-stop security center which is multi-platform and works just as well from a mobile or from a laptop. Go beyond your devices There’s a new generation of advanced hardware devices that promise to secure your home even better. The Bitdefender Box 2 is one of them, and secures all devices connected to your wired/wireless network with no limits on what you can download or how many devices are connected. It is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and includes free installation and setup. Souped-up hardware and excellent connectivity means the Box 2 could even improve your broadband connection. Such revolutionary features are only available to paid-for users. What about free mobile antivirus? There are more than 250 antivirus apps on Google Play, with most of them being free. Yet the chances are that a lot of those apps don’t provide malware protection out of charity. After all, they need some sort of revenue to grow sustainably, and if they do not offer in-app purchases, it can only mean one thing: You’re the product. Certain categories of free software are genuinely free, like operating systems (Linux) or browsers (Chromium), but others, like antivirus, require maintenance, financial and human investment, and updates to keep up with the competition or the bad guys. Ask yourself: Where do free antivirus firms that don’t offer a paid option get their revenues from? On average more than half of employees at any antivirus companies are engineers and researchers.

WD’s fastest consumer-grade internal SSD is now $70 SSD prices have been steadily dropping the past few months, and the latest SSD sale extends the savings to the WD_Black SN750, one of Western Digital’s best SSDs. All sizes for the M.2 PCIe 3.0 drive are currently on sale at Best Buy and Newegg for $69.99. That’s $60.00 off its usual $129.99 price tag. The WD_Black SN750 is a PCIe 3.0 M.2 2280 SSD that’s been facing a steady record of price drops since March of last year. However, $69.99 is the lowest it has ever been according to CamelCamelCamel. For that price, you’ll get a 2600 MB/s write speed and a 3430 MB/S write speed, though you’ll have to look at a different listing (which is also on sale) to add on a heatsink to your purchase. It also has included software with a special gaming mode that disables the drives low power modes to reduce latency. Comparing it to other WD internal SSDs, it’s also the fastest consumer grade option the company offers. Our review for the WD_Black SN750 called it pricey on release, though at almost half-off, this deal makes it far more approachable. For performance, however, the SSD consistently topped the charts in benchmarks like DiskBench, SYSmark and Atto. In particular, we praised its power efficiency and sustained write performance. If you need a bit more space, though, the 1TB version is also on sale for 44% off, dropping from $249.99 to $139.99. The 250GB and 2TB versions of the drive also have discounts running right now, though neither are quite as steep.

Game Informations: GENRE: Action , Adventure , Indie DEVELOPER: Wales Interactive PUBLISHER: Wales Interactive RELEASE DATE: Jul 28, 2020 Maid of Sker's grand reopening should be delayed indefinitely. Maid of Sker begins in earnest as you walk under a burgundy banner advertising the Sker Hotel's grand reopening. The ivy-covered building looks more castle than inn, with gray stone walls and a central spire flanked by turrets. It's an imposing piece of architecture, starkly distinct from the sun-bleached wilderness that surrounds it. Passing under that banner and into the dark and secluded inn is the playable version of that moment in a horror flick when things in idyllic suburbia go sideways, or when a shark shows up to wreck a perfectly nice day at the beach. The banner is the dividing line between Maid of Sker's "before" and "after." Unfortunately, much of the evocative promise of the before disappears the moment you enter the after. We move through this story as Thomas Evans, a composer who has traveled to Sker Point, a rocky peninsula on the southern coast of Wales, to rescue his lover Elisabeth. She grew up here, the daughter of renowned singer Prudence Williams--the titular Maid of Sker. Her father, owner of the reopening hotel on the Point, intends for Elisabeth to take up the mantle now that her famous mother has passed and to become the star attraction, drawing visitors to the isolated land. She tells Thomas that she has refused and that, as a result, her father has locked her up until she acquiesces. But as Thomas arrives at Sker's abandoned train station, it becomes clear that Sker Point has descended into supernatural chaos. Elisabeth has sent Thomas her mother's locket and asked him to compose a song that serves as a musical counterpart to the melody within. This will, in some way that remains unclear for much of the game, help defeat the "darkness gathering here." In his quest, Thomas needs to explore the hotel and surrounding grounds to collect four brass cylinders scattered throughout, then plug them into her father's harmonium, a massive pipe organ that dominates the hotel's central hall. But many obstacles stand between Thomas and his beloved--mostly in the form of shambling men who occupy Sker Hotel's halls, their faces hidden beneath burlap sacks. They are sightless, but their hearing is acute, and you need to be sneaky to avoid their detection, occasionally clasping your hands over your mouth to ill-timed coughs. As you slink through the Sker, finding the cylinders is your primary objective. But, on a more regular basis, you need to find keys with icons like a kraken or a musical note that match a door with a corresponding symbol, a la Resident Evil. This process is made significantly more difficult by the game's complete lack of a HUD or any UI outside the menus that might alert you when an opponent is onto you. None of the typical stealth game icons are here; don't expect a question mark or slowly-filling lightning bolt over an enemy's head to indicate suspicion. Instead, the game relies entirely on audio cues, which can be pretty confusing. For example, when you're spotted by an enemy, the game plays a panic-inducing warning sound. But, in certain areas, a discordant run of notes--which sounds strikingly similar to the "you've been spotted" audio cue from the Dishonored games--plays consistently as part of the soundtrack. It's loud and jarring enough that you'll likely be looking over your shoulder constantly to see who spotted you. The game is generally uncommunicative about how much noise you can make and how close to an enemy you can be when you make it. You'll occasionally pass through areas where dust particles, smoke, or other noxious fumes float in the air, and you need to hold your breath to pass through. The problem is, Thomas' coughing isn't much louder than the held breath he expels once he removes his hands from his mouth. I kept expecting enemies to notice when I exhaled, but they never did. None of this would be a problem if Maid of Sker communicated environmental information in any other way. But because audio cues are all there is, the inconsistencies are jarring. Thankfully, some of these issues are ameliorated by a mysterious, spherical device that you find shortly after arriving at the hotel. Using slender flashbulbs, which you load into the brass orb like a magazine into a gun, you can summon a blast of ghostly music. This causes every enemy in the area to cradle their heads in pain and provides a clutch path to safety when you're cornered. The game is generally uncommunicative about how much noise you can make and how close to an enemy you can be when you make it. Maid of Sker places a premium on scavenging for and conserving consumables. To heal, you need to find tonic bottles. Each use of the nifty noisemaker requires a flashbulb. You can only save at phonographs, which you'll find in specific rooms. In one of Maid of Sker's smartest design decisions, each phonograph also plays an audio log, ensuring that you won't miss critical story details. This story, which is conveyed almost entirely through these logs and muffled phone conversations with Elisabeth, is the most interesting thing Maid of Sker has to offer as its gameplay increasingly begins to grate. But even the story, whose set-up feels genuinely unique, ends in a boring, predictable place. Maid of Sker goes too far in its pursuit of a skin-of-your-teeth survival horror experience. Roughly two-thirds through the campaign, an achievement popped up to inform me that I had found all of the flashbulbs I would ever find, meaning I would not have access to Thomas' only tool for the rest of the game. Similarly, I went hours without finding a tonic bottle as a red "you're really hurt!" border flashed at the edges of my screen. As the frustration began to mount during one particularly punishing stealth section, I knocked the difficulty down to easy, and soon after found a tonic. Maid of Sker's default difficulty stops doling out consumables precisely when you need them most. This stinginess makes Maid of Sker a chore to play for much of its runtime on normal difficulty. One particularly irritating puzzle requires you to run through pitch-black areas in search of patches of candlelight. If you take a millisecond too long in the dark, you take damage. The solution requires a lot of trial and error, and I ended up restarting repeatedly at the most recent save point, carefully calculating my trajectory as I headed into the dark with the knowledge that one wrong move would set me back five minutes. Maid of Sker's refusal to dole out consumables at a reasonable pace also helps ensure that one of its most overt homages to Resident Evil falls completely flat. It would be a spoiler to say much more, but this deeply frustrating sequence requires strict time management and also po[CENSORED]tes a floor of the hotel with the keen-eared enemies I mentioned above. The dearth of hiding places in the inn's narrow hallways meant that I frequently found myself at the end of a dead-end hallway with a one-hit kill foe bearing down on me. No healing items. No tools. No luck. Maid of Sker pushes the horror walking sim right up to the edge of classic survival horror and, in the process, falls short of making a good version of either. It ditches the strict linearity of many of its contemporaries, like Layers of Fear 2, Moons of Madness, and Close to the Sun, in favor of a focus on exploration. This occasionally works, and there are moments when the Resident Evil influence shines through. One section, when you're tasked with tracking down a Kraken Key to match the sea monster icon on a locked door, feels like it could have been lifted directly from Capcom's series. But the consumables are so rare and enemies are so prevalent that navigating the space often becomes a chore. This story is the most interesting thing Maid of Sker has to offer as its gameplay increasingly begins to grate. But even the story, whose set-up feels genuinely unique, ends in a boring, predictable place. Add that to the fact that the game artificially extends its length by forcing you to backtrack for long stretches while offering little new to find. These sections transform the final moments of the game, which offer about two minutes of new content, into an hour-long jaunt through most of the map. When I found that the elevator I needed to use to get to my destination, which I had struggled through several hallways of frustrating stealth to return to, had been inexplicably rendered unusable by a fire, I just felt tired and ready to be done. Instead, I had a lengthy journey ahead. That's the story of Maid of Sker, as a whole. While its setting and story are initially intriguing, the experience of playing the game becomes painful over time. Enemies are plentiful and tough to avoid, and the tools that you do have at your disposal are frequently hampered by extreme item scarcity. The complete removal of UI or any helpful visual cues makes stealth encounters a chore. The moments of satisfying key-hunting are bogged down by a world that is a frustrating bore to explore. In retrospect, I wish I could stay in the "before" times, on the other side of that grand reopening banner. At least then, I was optimistic about what awaited inside.

Microsoft is working on something more permanent It has recently emerged that Windows 10 is suffering from a very serious security flaw that’s preventing the Windows Sandbox and Windows Defender Application Guard (WDAG) from opening – which is leaving some PCs vulnerable to attack. In case you’ve never heard of them, these two features are important tools that can keep your Windows 10 PC safe, so if they are failing to start, that’s pretty concerning. Windows Sandbox is a tool that allows you to run applications in an isolated environment away from your system files and settings. If you were to run a malicious app in Windows Sandbox, it would not be able to access your important and private files. Meanwhile, Windows Defender Application Guard is a tool that is used to protect people using Windows 10’s default web browser, Edge, from online attacks. According to Microsoft (as reported by Bleeping Computer), PCs running Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise, versions 1903, 1909, and 2004 (the three latest updates to Windows 10) are affected. What happens and how to fix it A support document from Microsoft states that the two apps will display the following errors when they try – and fail – to start: ERROR_VSMB_SAVED_STATE_FILE_NOT_FOUND (0xC0370400) E_PATHNOTFOUND (0x80070003) As you can imagine, having these two important security tools not loading is not good, but the good news is that it can be fixed relatively easily – all you need to do is restart your device and the tools should load normally. While that is pretty simple, it’s still not ideal, as restarting your PC just to ensure some tools load properly can be disruptive. There’s also the danger that some users will miss the error messages, and continue to use their PCs under the impression that the security tools have loaded correctly. Microsoft is aware of the issue, however, and is working on a permanent fix for the problem, which will be included in a future Windows 10 update. Until then, however, you should make sure you keep an eye out for those error messages, and if you rely on those tools, make sure they are running as they are supposed to.

Why should Sheldon Cooper have all the fun? Telepresence robots, such as those used by Dr Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory are expensive and difficult to build. Altrubots and The Crafty Robot today launched their own desktop telepresence robot via Kickstarter with pledges starting from $62 (£50). Smartipresence is a cardboard chassis robot that uses rubber bands and screws for a simple yet robust construction. Place your smartphone into the articulated holder and then connect it to the Smartibot NRF 52 series ARM Cortex-M4F control board via Bluetooth. Remote control is achieved by sending a “pilot link” to another device and then we can stream video from the pilot device, to the Smartipresence. Control is achieved using on screen buttons, we can move the robot in any direction and control the angle of the arm. Writing code for the robot is made possible thanks to a version of JavaScript for microcontrollers called Espruino. Younger coders can learn to control the robot using a block based language, while seasoned coders can get to grips with JavaScript directly. Both methods are via a web browser, enabling quick and easy access no matter what device we are using. UK readers may be familiar with Ross Atkin, a researcher, designer and engineer, who featured in BBC’s “The Big Life Fix” where inventors and engineers developed life changing solutions for people in desperate need. “It’s awful not being able to visit loved ones right now and I wanted to make something to help” explained Ross Atkin. “I thought telepresence might be useful, but not the robots designed for corporate environments that cost thousands. I realized that the Smartibot kit already had most of the parts you’d need to make a really accessible telepresence robot that would work in people’s homes. So I designed the extra cardboard parts to make the experience as good as it could be, and worked with Altrubots to put together the software. It’s turned out great. It’s not quite as good as actually being somewhere but it’s a whole lot better than a video call.” The kit contains everything needed to create your own telepresence robot, including DC motors so all we need to add is a spare smartphone. You can pick up your own robot directly from their page on Kickstarter.

1/ Thanks for your reply and the interest you showed to my request, I love both projects, and I joined them because I find them interesting. - The descriptions of these projects are that they teach you a sense of responsibility and leadership and Mutual respect between individuals (such as the family) - In fact, we had some defects before but it is not from the project itself. It was only due to the failure of some people to perform their work, which affected the projects a little, created some flaws, but now it can be said that they are solved. We need some more activity, and try to make our members more interested. I also have some few ideas that are not complete for the moment, but as soon as I have it I will make suggestions. 2/ Nothing is easy to handle, everything needs some reflexion and thinking. But nothing is impossible. The things that I can handle easily are having a lot of responsabilites or things to do at a same time, fixing the technical problems (as I can learn anything really quick) and solve any differents between a group of persons. But everything else is not hard to manage, it just requires you to keep quiet and to not rush. 3/ I had to deal with several cases like this during my life. The first thing I always do is to talk to that person with in a calm way, try and understand why I got betrayed, because maybe I made a mistake that I didnt notice and caused the problem to happen (no one is perfect). After I can understand what happened, I will try to repair what happened (if it is possible) and forgive that person. I'm not the type of person who waits for the first mistake to hate a person. - As I said earlier, I love the work in group but in only one condition, that everyone have his chance to give his ideas and point of view, in the calm. I don't like anything that is disorganized. There are no stupid questions or answers, everyone has their own way of seeing things.

The Acrophobia Skull lets Master Chief fly his way through the campaign, regardless of whether he has access to a Ghost or Banshee. The skull lets you fly by holding down the jump button, rising perpetually, taking to the skies to see each level of the campaign from a new perspective. The skull can also be used inside other games in the Master Chief Collection. The skull can be used in single-player or co-op, but you'll need to work fast and hard to unlock it. You'll need to defeat 343 flying enemies (such as Banshees, Buggers, Phantoms, or Sentinels) before the end of July 29, 2020. You'll need to be playing on Normal or harder. It's the kind of old-school cheat that games so rarely have these days, and it puts a fun new spin on the game, so you don't want to miss it. The best way to do it is to play through a mission will a lot of Bugger enemies--like The Storm--and reload checkpoints when possible. It'll take a while, but it's worth doing.

Brave Firewall + VPN, powered by Guardian encrypts all traffic on user's Apple devices Brave Software and Guardian have joined forces to launch a new service for iOS and iPadOS that provides both system-wide VPN and firewall functionality. Brave Firewall + VPN, powered by Guardian combines Brave Software's privacy-focused Brave browser and Guardian's VPN app, Guardian Firewall + VPN for iOS. The partnership between the two companies is aimed at allowing users to take back control of their data, browse the web and use the apps on their Apple devices more safely and securely. The firewall and VPN are built into the Brave app for iOS and iPadOS and once subscribed, users can enable the firewall from the browser's settings. The VPN doesn't just work in Brave's browser though and it can be used in any other app installed on a user's device to protect them from data, location and mail beacon tracking. Brave Firewall + VPN Brave Firewall + VPN differs from other browser-based VPNs, which only mask a user's IP address, by doing this as well as offering enhanced security and privacy by encrypting and protecting anything users do while connected to the internet. The service sends traffic from an iPhone or iPad through an encrypted VPN to Guardian's servers and this allows users to instantly spot which apps are secretly broadcasting tracking data. The authentication system used by Brave Firewall + VPN has also been specifically designed to not require use or retention of any user information. Instead a pseudonymous digital receipt from Apple's App Store is used to enable VPN access to users and randomized, rotatable, EAP identifiers are used to connect to VPN servers. This means that Brave and Guardian can allow users to access VPN servers without being aware of their identity. In a press release, CEO and co-founder of Brave Software Brendan Eich explained why the company chose to work with Guardian over other VPN providers, saying: “Brave is on a mission to upgrade the Internet from surveillance-by-default to privacy-by-default. With over 15 million monthly active users, our growth indicates that people are tired of being tracked, tagged, and monitored every second of every day. Brave Firewall + VPN, powered by Guardian is a big part of our mission to improve Web browsing and give power back to users over the use of their own data. We evaluated over a dozen VPNs and chose Guardian because of the shared focus on user privacy of our two companies and the technical capabilities of Guardian. The Firewall + VPN is a crucial part of the Web experience that our users have wanted, and we’re thrilled to bring this capability to Brave.” Brave Firewall + VPN is available for iPhone and iPad for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year and can be purchased via In-App Purchase from the App store.
