FAU-G Domination, the Indian-made multiplayer shooter concluded its most recent test in July of this year. And surprisingly enough we've been made privy to some of the results from feedback developers Dot9 Games and Nazara Publishing have received. So how did it measure up in terms of player expectations? Let's find out. To start, around 85% of players saw an improvement in-game visuals, while 90% believed the Indian-specific themes and environments were the game's standout feature. However, 55% of players seemed to prefer a classic team deathmatch mode compared to others, and a slightly worrying 24% saw some form of overheating on their device. Broadly it's all good feedback, which will be encouraging to Dot9 Games. India is one of the world's largest gaming markets and one that's constantly growing to boot. We've seen plenty of game developers who have put the work into creating home-grown, hopeful hits that draw on the culture of the nation to try and make an impact. It's not surprising that so many Indian developers are jockeying to make the first genuine homegrown hit. Despite having over 500 million players who specifically engage with shooters, India has yet to produce a breakout hit that crosses over into the international market. But with FAU-G, Indus and others all headed towards launch, we may see that change sooner than expected. Looking for other great shooters to play? No better place to start than our list of the top 15 best shooters for iPhone and iPad! Whether it's modern warfare, sci-fi or otherwise, high-octane action awaits you in our handpicked selection of games.

MSI OCLab made some groundbreaking disclosures about the gaming performance of upcoming AMD Ryzen 9000X3D processors. It looks like AMD is set to dominate the Intel Core Ultra 2-series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors in gaming performance, if these numbers hold up. In the games that MSI tested, namely "Far Cry 6," "Shadow of the Tomb Raider," and "Black Myth: Wukong," the "8-core 9000X3D" processor, or the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, is found to be 11% faster on average than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The "16-core 9000X3D" processor, which is expected to be the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, is an impressive 13% faster than its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Normally we'd expect bigger gen-on-gen gains for the 8-core part than the 16-core part, but the 16-core 9000X3D pulling ahead by that much over its predecessor hints at the possibility of AMD either giving it significantly higher clock speeds, or the rumor about AMD deploying both 3D V-cache on both its CCDs could be true after all. The 9950X3D could end up roughly on-par with the 9800X3D if this turns out to be true, given that the gaming performance delta between the 7800X3D and 7950X3D is roughly that much—2-3 percentage points. Intel earlier this week officially announced the Core Ultra 2-series desktop processors. As part of the announcement, the company put out some first-party gaming performance numbers, which put the top Core Ultra 9 285K either on-par with the Core i9-14900K, or faster by 2-3%, which means it should land behind even the 7950X3D in gaming performance, and AMD is set to dominate Intel in gaming performance with the 9000X3D series. Check out the other slides in HardwareLuxx's image gallery. They also include comparisons between Core Ultra 200K CPUs and Ryzen 9000s. 😛 That said, AMD will basically have to slash prices for the lower non-X3D parts, unless they got the balls to release the 9800X3D for $550+. edit: looks like they removed the slides now 😞 Posted on Oct 12th 2024, 3:30 #2 phints $550 huh? 9700X is already $330. But 9800X3D is so performant it'll likely come out at $420-450. Posted on Oct 12th 2024, 3:58 #3 Sarajiel That's cheaper than the 7800X3D price in many regions... That's not going to happen. AMD loves increasing prices if they don't have competition, like they did with the 5000 and 7000 series Threadrippers. Posted on Oct 12th 2024, 4:03 #4 RogueSix Looks like TPU fell for WCCFTech's clickbait 😄 . There is only a single game in the three games that were shown on the slides that reached 11% to 13% and that is Far Cry 6. There is no "11% faster on average" here. Far from it. The other two games (Wukong and SotTR) only performed 2% to 4% better which is, quite frankly, pathetic. This makes it an average of 5.6% as WCCFTechpointed out themselves: Far Cry 6 is the outlier because it reacts pretty well to faster clocks. We will likely see a lot more increases in the 2% to 4% range (or maybe 4% to 6% on final silicon) because Far Cry 6 is NOT the norm. If this turns out to be true, it would make the 9800X3D about as equally disappointing as the regular Zens in a gen vs. gen comparison. We are mostly looking at single digit average performance gains here. On the pro side: This should hopefully bring the prices of the 7800X3D back in line and 9800X3D also should not sell for a new kidney. I hope AMD will have decent stock available at launch. Otherwise, we will probably have to wait quite a bit longer for that much needed price slide to happen. Posted on Oct 12th 2024, 5:14 #5 Melvis AMD set to dominate at gaming? hmmmmm pretty sure that has been a thing for the past what? 2yrs now? Posted on Oct 12th 2024, 5:38 #6 JohH Dominate? Won't it be within like 10%? Not a big deal... Posted on Oct 12th 2024, 6:11 #7 cerulliber

Infinix should stop using the Zero moniker for their phones because, honestly, their phones are not what they used to be. The new Infinix Zero 40 5G is not a zero. The phone, at a starting price of Rs. 27,999, offers a lot of features. Infinix also claims that the Zero 40 5G is the first phone in its segment to offer 4K 60fps video recording on both front and rear cameras and to feature a 50-megapixel ultrawide rear camera. It's also the first Infinix phone to launch with Infinix AI. The company heavily emphasises the phone's video recording features, stabilisation, and its potential as an ideal device for vlogging—I've never heard the word "vlog" mentioned so many times in a product briefing. So, is the Infinix Zero 40 5G any good? Do all of these segment-firsts make it a hero? You'll have to read the full review to find out. Infinix Zero 40 Design: Stylish Dimensions - 164.31x74.47x7.9mm Weight - 195g Colours - Moving Titanium, Violet Garden, Rock Black Infinix has done a very good job in terms of design. The phone features curved sides and flat top and bottom edges, making it comfortable to hold and easy to use one-handed. The phone is available in three colour options, and we got the Violet Garden variant. The rear panel has a two-tone finish and the word ‘Zero' etched at the bottom right corner. It's a nice phone to look at, especially in the Violet colour option. The back is dominated by a large circular camera module, accented with a focus ring-like design. The curved edges make the phone feel slimmer than it really is. The left side is clean, while the power and volume buttons are placed on the right. At the bottom, you'll find the USB Type-C port, a loudspeaker, a microphone, and a SIM card tray. The top houses an IR blaster, another microphone, and a speaker grille. Infinix has also provided an IP54 rating for added protection, which is a nice touch. Advertisement Infinix Note 40X Review Infinix Zero 40 Display: Big with a little bit of curve Size and type - 6.78-inch, full-HD+, Curved AMOLED Refresh rate - Up to 144Hz Protection - Corning Gorilla Glass 5 The Infinix Zero 40 5G features a curved display with slim, uniform bezels, resulting in an impressive 93.4 percent screen-to-body ratio. The panel is of the LTPS variety, which means that although it offers a 144Hz refresh rate, it cannot go all the way down to 1Hz. You can, however, choose between auto, 60, 120, and 144Hz. The display also offers a 360Hz touch sampling rate and 2,304Hz PWM frequency. In terms of colour, you get a 10-bit panel with 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage. There are also two colour modes available on the phone – Original and Bright-coloured. I'd recommend sticking to the former. You also get TUV Rheinland Eye Care certification and an Eye care mode. As for brightness, the phone gets plenty bright indoors (1,300 nits peak), but it can be a bit dull under direct sunlight. Advertisement Infinix GT Book Review: Gaming Laptop on a Budget For watching movies, gaming, and any kind of content consumption, the screen is great. It's big, colourful, bright (indoors), and offers a super fast refresh rate. There's also Widevine L1 certification so that you can use all your streaming services. Infinix has included an in-display fingerprint scanner on the phone. Despite being placed lower down on the screen, it worked accurately and was fast. Infinix Zero 40 Software: AI this and AI that OS - Android 14 UI - XOS 14.5 Latest security patch - August 5, 2024 The phone runs Android 14-based XOS 14.5 out of the box. As expected, it includes a fair amount of pre-installed apps, but fortunately, most can be uninstalled. The user interface is fairly clean, with smooth animations. Infinix GT 20 Pro Review Infinix has also included an edge control feature that lets you take advantage of the curved screen and quickly access your favourite apps. There's an IR Control option in the Quick setting and within the Welife app to control other devices using its infrared blaster. The phone boasts a "Works with GoPro" certification, but all it means is that you can control a GoPro action camera using the GoPro Quik app—a feature that virtually any smartphone is capable of. https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/reviews/infinix-zero-40-5g-review-6879620#pfrom=desktop-lhs-trending

Donald Trump enjoys a huge lead among men, while women tell pollsters they prefer Kamala Harris by a similarly large margin. The political gender gap reflects a decade of social upheaval and could help decide the US election. For the first woman of colour to secure a presidential nomination, and only the second woman to ever get this close, Kamala Harris goes to great lengths not to talk about her identity. “Listen, I am running because I believe that I am the best person to do this job at this moment for all Americans, regardless of race and gender,” the vice-president said in a CNN interview last month. And yet, despite all her efforts to neutralise the subject, gender is shaping up to be the defining issue of this campaign. “Madame President” would be a new thing for America and it’s reasonable to assume that while many voters love the idea, some find the novelty a little unnerving. The Harris campaign won’t say it publicly, but one official acknowledged to me recently that they do believe there is “hidden sexism” here that will deter some people from voting for any woman for president. It’s 2024 and few people want to be the jerk who’ll tell a pollster outright that they don’t think a woman is fit for the Oval Office (though plenty are prepared to share misogynistic memes on social media). A Democratic strategist suggested there’s a code, when voters tell pollsters that Harris is not “ready” or doesn't have the right “personality” or “what it takes,” what they really mean is that the problem is she’s a woman. The Trump campaign says gender has nothing to do with it. “Kamala is weak, dishonest, and dangerously liberal, and that’s why the American people will reject her on November 5th,” it said this week. Although Bryan Lanza, a senior adviser to the campaign, texted me to say he’s confident Trump will win because “the male gender gap gives us the edge”. Last time a woman ran for president, negative attitudes to her gender were clearly a factor. Eight years ago Hillary Clinton touted her being the first female nominee of a major party. The campaign’s slogan “I’m with Her” was a not very subtle reminder of her trailblazing role. Pennsylvania Congresswoman Madeleine Dean remembers discussing Clinton’s candidacy with voters. I spent an afternoon with Dean as she campaigned in her district this week and she told me that back in 2016 people would tell her, ‘There’s just something about her.’ She says she soon realised that “It was about the ‘her.’ That was a thing. It was that [Hillary] was a woman.” While Dean thinks that sentiment is less prevalent today, she acknowledges that even now, “there are certain people who just think ‘A powerful woman? No, a bridge too far.’” A lot has changed for women since 2016. The #MeToo movement in 2017 increased awareness of the subtle - and the not so subtle - discriminations women face at work. It changed the way we talk about women as professionals. MeToo may have made it easier for a candidate like Harris to secure the nomination. But those big steps forward on the issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion were interpreted by some as a step back, especially for young men who felt they’d been left behind. Or the changes were simply a step too far for conservative Americans who prefer more traditional gender roles. So for some voters, this November’s election has turned into a referendum on gender norms, and the social upheavals of recent years. This seems particularly true for the voters Kamala Harris has a tough time reaching: the young men who live in a world that is rapidly changing for, well, young men. “Young men often feel like if they ask questions they are labeled as misogynist, homophobic or racist,” says John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Institute of Politics. “Frustrated at not feeling understood, many then get sucked into a bro-culture of Donald Trump or Elon Musk. They look at who the Democrats prioritise - women, abortion rights, LGTBQ culture - and they ask ‘what about us?’” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjr430gry81o

Do you face difficulty in establishing a formal ground of communication with your employees as a manager? It might be intimidating to pave your way as a senior, especially if you’re doing it for the first time. Maintaining firm yet cordial communication with your employees on their performance can get tricky, but you can find your way around it. Common psychological barriers new managers face when initiating difficult conversations New managers mostly face psychological barriers such as “fear of conflict, anxiety about damaging relationships, and self-doubt in their authority”. They also might worry about being disliked or misunderstood and struggle with the discomfort of delivering negative feedback, said Shivani Misri Sadhoo, psychologist and relationship counsellor. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/workplace/manager-workplace-employees-9507493/

Fans of a celebrity cat have been snapping up signed copies of a book about their favourite feline at a launch event. Susie has a loving home but is well known in Dorchester and has become so po[CENSORED]r, an illustrated book has been published about her adventures. Its authors are three charity members who have learning disabilities and proceeds are going to their charity. About a hundred people turned up for the first signing in Dorchester, and a further event is planned in Weymouth. Susie moved from Upwey to Dorchester with her owners, Linda and Michael Crow, when they came to stay with their daughter, Jenny Graves, in 2023. After moving, they were inundated with phone calls from people believing the cat was lost, so they changed her name tag to say: "Susie - Not lost, just adventurous." Businesses and residents have described how the tabby cat "makes herself at home" and has a "favourite spot" in every premises. Laura Kerr of People First Dorset - a charity that empowers people with learning disabilities - suggested writing about about Susie after she turned up at her fourth-floor flat. It was only after phoning a local vet, who knew all about the animal's escapades, that she discovered Susie's celebrity status. The book's authors Kerry Martin, William Parmiter and Emily Burr, of People First Dorset, worked with Weymouth artist Catherine Owen. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7v35ejlg3po

The Los Angeles Dodgers would survive a New York Yankees potential comeback attempt in the ninth inning to take a 2-0 lead in the World Series. Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images CNN — The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees by a score of 4-2 to take Game 2 of the World Series Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Despite the Dodgers being in control most of the game, New York threatened a late comeback in the ninth inning but would strand the bases loaded. Still reeling from Friday’s historic Game 1 win, the Dodgers offense brought the same juice early on Saturday. Tommy Edman, the National League Championship Series (NLCS) MVP, blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning to give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead. The Yankees responded in the next half inning with a Juan Soto solo home run to tie the game up. The game did not remain tied for much longer. Things went off the rails for Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon in the bottom of the third inning after Teoscar Hernandez blasted a two-run home run and Freddie Freeman, the hero of Game 1, followed up with another home run of his own to make it a 4-1 game and ignite the Dodgers fans excitement. Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was nothing short of dominant, striking out four batters while only giving up one hit in 6.1 innings. He exited to a standing ovation from the Dodgers faithful. Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto dominated the New York Yankees on the way to the Game 2 win. Alex Slitz/Getty Images The LA bullpen silenced the Yankees offense until the top of the ninth inning. Soto, who had the team’s only hit leading up to his at-bat, singled and later advanced to second base on a wild pitch. Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen struck out Yankees slugger Aaron Judge but the very next at-bat, Giancarlo Stanton drove in New York’s second run of the game to cut into the lead. The Yankees offense did not stop there. Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled to right field and Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch to load up the bases. With what FOX announcers called his potential “Derek Jeter moment,” Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe struck out for the second out. The Dodgers pulled Treinen and had Alex Vesia come in to try to close out the game. Vesia got pinch hitter Jose Trevino to fly out to center field to limit the damage and secure the Game 2 victory. With a 2-0 series lead, the Dodgers are now two wins away from claiming their eighth World Series crown in franchise history. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/26/sport/yankees-dodgers-game-2-world-series-spt-intl/index.html

Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is set to fall short of a single-party majority after a close-run snap election, exit polls suggest. The LDP is projected to win from 153 to 219 lower house seats, broadcaster NHK said. The Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP) is projected to win from 128 to 191 seats. A party needs 233 seats to control the house, known as the Diet, meaning the LDP will need to enter a coalition to stay in power. It was previously in coalition with the smaller Komeito party, though projections suggest their joint vote share may still fall short of a majority, prompting uncertainty about how the world's fourth-largest economy will be governed. The election was called by the LDP’s new leader Shigeru Ishiba three days after he was selected as new leader - before he had been officially sworn in as prime minister. It comes after a tumultuous few years for the LDP which saw a “cascade” of scandals, widespread voter apathy and record-low approval ratings. The party had seen approval ratings of below 20% earlier in the year, in the wake of a political fundraising corruption scandal. Yet opposition parties have failed to unite, or convince voters they are a viable option to govern. The main opposition party had an approval rating of just 6.6% before parliament was dissolved. “It is so hard to make decisions to choose parties, I think people are losing interest,” Miyuki Fujisaki, a long-time LDP supporter who works in the care-home sector, told the BBC ahead of polls opening. The LDP, she said, has its problems with alleged corruption, “but the opposition also does not stand out at all”. “They sure complain a lot, but it’s not at all clear on what they want to do,” the 66-year-old said. For all the apathy, politics in Japan has been moving at a fast pace in recent months. Shigeru Ishiba took over as prime minister after being voted in by the ruling party following his predecessor Fumio Kishida - who had been in the role since 2021 – making a surprise decision to step down in August. The move to call the election came at a time when the LDP is desperate to restore its tarnished image among the public. Ishiba - a long-time politician who previously served as defence minister - has described it as the “people’s verdict”. A series of scandals has tarnished the ruling party’s reputation. Chief among them is the party’s relationship with the controversial Unification Church - described by critics as a “cult” - and the level of influence it had on lawmakers. Then came the revelations of the political funding corruption scandal. Japan’s prosecutors have been investigating dozens of LDP lawmakers accused of pocketing proceeds from political fundraising events. Those allegations - running into the millions of dollars - led to the dissolution of powerful factions, the backbone of its internal party politics. “What a wretched state the ruling party is in,” said Michiko Hamada, who had travelled to Urawa station, on the outskirts of Tokyo, for an opposition campaign rally. “That is what I feel most. It is tax evasion and it’s unforgivable.” It strikes her as particularly egregious at a time when people in Japan are struggling with high prices. Wages have not changed for three decades – dubbed “the lost 30 years” – but prices have risen at the fastest rate in nearly half a century in the last two years. This month saw more price hikes on thousands of food products, as well as other day-to-day provisions like mail, pharmaceuticals, electricity and gas. “I pay 10,000 yen or 20,000 yen ($65 - $130; £50 - £100) more for the food per month (than I used to),” Ms Hamada said. “And I’m not buying the things I used to buy. I am trying to save up but it still costs more. Things like fruit are very expensive.” She is not the only one concerned with high prices. Pensioner Chie Shimizu says she now must work part-time to make ends meet. “Our hourly wage has gone up a bit but it does not match the prices,” she told the BBC as she picked up some food from a stand at Urawa station. “I come to places like this to find something cheaper and good because everything in regular shops is expensive.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xpev42g78o

The White House’s address may be 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but the real road to the presidency runs through the state of Pennsylvania, the biggest prize among the electoral battleground map. According to calculations by elections analyst Nate Silver, the candidate who wins Pennsylvania has more than a 90% chance of winning the White House. “It’s the granddaddy of all the swing states,” said former congressman Patrick Murphy, who represented north-eastern Pennsylvania as a Democrat from 2007-11. With its 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania – the fifth most populous US state - is the lynchpin of the swing-state electoral firewalls for both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. If the Democrats win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, along with one congressional district in Nebraska, she’s the next president. If the Republicans carry Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, Trump is back in the White House next year. Without Pennsylvania, there is no way Trump can win without flipping at least three of the states Joe Biden won in 2020. Nicknamed the Keystone State, Pennsylvania could in fact be the key to the White House. It is also where BBC Question Time will broadcast a US election special on Thursday 10 October, diving into the issues and voter concerns behind the presidential contest. Pennsylvania is not only the most valuable swing state, it also can be seen as a microcosm of the US as a whole – demographically, economically and politically. It is a former manufacturing state that has been transitioning to newer industries and businesses, but it has a large energy sector because of its abundant oil shale deposits. Agriculture is still the second-largest industry in the state. The majority of the po[CENSORED]tion is white, but there are growing immigrant communities. Some areas, like Allentown – the working-class factory city made famous by a Billy Joel song – are now majority Hispanic. The state’s black po[CENSORED]tion, at 12%, is just under the US total of 13%. As for the politics, the state’s two large urban areas, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, heavily favour the Democrats. Between the two are vast stretches of rural territory where Republicans dominate. And the suburbs that once were reliably conservative are now tilting to the left. That gives rise to the old quip that Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with (deeply Republican) Alabama in the middle. Somehow, all these political cross-currents and shifting dynamics have kept Pennsylvania at a near dead-even balance when it comes to presidential elections. President Joe Biden won the state by about 80,000 votes in 2020. Donald Trump carried it by about 40,000 in his surprise 2016 win over Hillary Clinton. Only once in the last 40 years has a candidate won Pennsylvania by double-digits - Barack Obama in his 2008 electoral landslide. Current polling puts the race between Harris and Trump in the state at a virtual dead heat. According to the 538/ABC News poll tracker, Harris holds a lead by less than a percent – a margin that has hardly shifted over the course of this tumultuous political year. Both the Harris and Trump campaigns have been pouring enormous resources into Pennsylvania. They are spending more on television advertising there than any other swing state. Both candidates make regular visits. Harris introduced her running mate pick, Tim Walz, at a rally in Philadelphia. She spent days preparing for her presidential debate in Pittsburgh. She made a tentpole economic speech there two weeks ago. Last Saturday, Trump held a massive rally in Butler, where in July he was nearly assassinated. On Wednesday he was in Biden's hometown of Scranton and Reading. And when the principals aren’t around, both campaigns have other politicians and officials to drum up support. “A candidate can't go into a county to talk to 1,200 people,” says former Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. “The state is too big. There’s just not time. That’s what surrogates are for.” Rendell notes that the current governor, Democrat Josh Shapiro, is a big help for Democrats here, as he is very po[CENSORED]r in the state and a dynamic speaker – qualities that had made him the odds-on favourite to be Harris’s vice-presidential pick. For Harris, her keys to victory are to post dominating numbers in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and win the suburbs by enough to offset Trump’s margins in the rest of the state. An essential part of this strategy is to win over moderate voters and some Republicans – including the more than 160,000 who turned out to vote for former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley in the state’s Republican primary, held earlier this year, well after Trump had already locked up the party’s nomination. “What these people need to hear is ways in which both the past record of Kamala Harris and the future plans of Kamala Harris are basically centrist positions – that she is not this crazy, wild-eyed radical leftist,” said Craig Snyder, former Republican Senate staffer who is running Pennsylvania's “Haley Voters for Harris” effort. He added that the Harris campaign is making the most extensive effort to reach Republican voters that he’s seen in a generation. Trump’s strategy is to squeeze all the support he can out of the conservative parts of the state, including by registering and mobilising those who may not have participated in past elections – a move Trump’s campaign officials say is a central focus of their grass-roots effort. There are signs their work may be paying off, too. Registered Democrats still outnumber Republicans in the state, but the margin is just a few hundred thousand - the smallest its been since the state first began releasing figures in 1998. While the college-educated voters in the suburbs may be difficult to convince, the Trump team thinks it can also chip away at traditionally Democratic support among blue-collar union voters and young black men. “We've seen nationally that Trump has made some real inroads with African American men,” said Farah Jimenez, a conservative education activist. “They're here in Philadelphia, and if you can convince them that he speaks more clearly to the things that concern them, it can at least start to provide a base for Republicans in Philadelphia.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8705wv99ryo
