Initial release date: September 2020 Publisher: Annapurna Interactive Designer: Richard Hough Software Developers: Hollow Ponds, Richard Hough Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows It's common in games for death to go unexplored. When it's not used as a narrative device to motivate living characters, it's brushed aside as collateral for a game's mechanics, with few interrogating the effects of your actions. I Am Dead is nothing like that. Not only do you play as a recently deceased protagonist, but its warm and welcoming tale explores themes of what it means to leave a legacy--however big or small--on the people you shared your brief time with while alive. Playing as former museum curator Morris Lupton and guided by his equally dead pet dog, Sparky, you explore the recent history of the fictional island of Shelmerston in search of a new guardian for the tranquil settlement. The island's dormant volcano is being kept at bay by the waning spirit of a former inhabitant, forcing Lupton to search for a replacement from a handful of other Shelmerston inhabitants that have recently found themselves in the afterlife. With the ability to explore some of the island's picturesque locations and interact with objects in ways unique to your spectral form, you slowly unearth the island's history and touching vignettes of some of its residents. Before being able to ask a friendly resident ghost if they're up to the task of watching over Shelmerston, you need to first learn about their lasting impact on those who are still alive. This manifests in distinct levels where you explore stories of each character through the lens of those who remember them. The devout followers of a yoga instructor who reside in a repurposed lighthouse recall the calming nature of their late leader, coloring in his complex relationship with past trauma and how it shaped his pursuit for inner peace. Another tale set in the island's bustling port town tells the tale of a blossoming romance between two youths who both discovered more about themselves when apart, which cemented their relationship further when reunited. These stories help introduce you to the would-be caretakers before you get to meet them, giving you all the context you need to understand their decision to either accept or decline the position of island custodian. Stages feature five memories to recall, each of which you solve by bringing into focus images like how you would twist a kaleidoscope. It's a simple but effective way of giving form to the stories being told over your actions, while also giving life to characters you can't explicitly interact with in your spectral form. Each of these memories recalls keepsakes you need to find in order to find the deceased resident they belong to, turning each distinct stage into a treasure hunt of sorts. I Am Dead is a brief trip to a distinct and gorgeous island, with personal tales that balance sad anecdotes with heartwarming tales of love. As a spirit, you can inspect objects around you in a unique way: by slicing into its geometry to peel back each of its layers and tunnel into its inner workings. For example, you can zoom into a large docked ship to expose a brewery contained inside, which can be further drilled into to reveal the contents of shelves on its walls or its stills. Zooming into objects is reminiscent of clipping geometry, except that it is used as a gameplay mechanic as opposed to being a visual bug. Being able to inspect objects and each of their cross-section layers is an interesting way to hunt for the objects described in each memory, especially when they lead to surprising discoveries. For example, investigating a seemingly uninteresting hole exposed a network of fox dens hiding beneath a grassy park, showing how life above and below its surface continued in ignorant harmony. Finding the keepsakes you need to progress is rarely challenging, which keeps in step with the relaxed pacing of I Am Dead's story. They're usually exactly where described in their associated memories or otherwise near the character recalling the stories, making the treasure hunts more a conclusion to each vignette rather than a taxing puzzle. While it is straightforward and welcoming, the lack of evolution from one stage to the next does make each new object hunt a little less exciting than the last. The new areas you get to explore provide their own sense of wonder as you slice through their construction, but it can be easy to ignore any window dressing when the core objectives aren't pushing you to explore them even briefly. There are optional objectives in each stage that involve a little more sleuthing to solve. Your canine companion will signal when grenkins--small, scattered spirits--are nearby, and finding them requires you to decipher a vague visual clue. These clues are a 2D representation of a cross-section of an object nearby, tasking you with not only determining which one but also zooming in and occluding its geometry in a way that matches. I Am Dead is forgiving enough that the closer you are to solving the puzzle, the more it tries to automatically align itself with the end goal, avoiding any of the potential frustrations of having to align a specific object perfectly to match the clue. But the rewards for solving these puzzles are nothing more than checks on a list for each stage, which is disappointing compared to the effort they involve, even if it's the only form of challenge that I Am Dead offers. Although the way you move from stage to stage in I Am Dead eventually loses some steam, the locales themselves never disappoint. From the multi-floored lighthouse to a dimly lit campsite, each of the stages is an eye-catching treat. The striking watercolors that wash over the tranquil hills of Shelmerston complement the inviting blue hues of its surrounding oceans, reflecting the warm orange sunset that welcomes the evenings in latter parts of the story. These stark colors work well with the outlandish designs of Shelmerston's inhabitants, who are convinced that camels are works of fiction but don't seem to bat an eye at citizens with apples for heads or bipedal fish sailors. I Am Dead never seeks to explain how these characters came to be, but also presents them in a way that matches the almost mythical nature of the island, making it all seamlessly fit in an endearing way. I Am Dead is a brief trip to a distinct and gorgeous island, with personal tales that balance sad anecdotes with heartwarming tales of love. These small stories characterize Shelmerston's inhabitants in a strong way, giving you reason to care for the land's history as you pursue a means to ensure its future. But through its stories it also explores death in a different light, focusing on the ways its characters have affected those around them positively in their passing instead of just honing in on mourning. Even if the treasure-hunting gameplay underpinning the narrative progression doesn't evolve beyond its simple beginnings, it's hard not to be entranced by I Am Dead's colorful characters and engaging tales and come away from your getaway to Shelmerston with a smile on your face.

Cortana gets the elbow as Windows 10X setup is set to be adopted Windows 10 is slowly getting more elements brought across from Windows 10X, which is Microsoft’s plan as we heard earlier this year, and this will apparently include a new Cortana-free setup experience for the desktop operating system. That’s the case according to prolific leaker Albacore, who tweeted about the Windows 10X OOBE (out of box experience – meaning initial setup process) being inbound for the desktop in Windows 10. In fact, it’s present in the latest test build (version 20231) of Windows 10. Albacore shows it in action in the video above, with the interface offering a sleeker and more friendly look, and a more streamlined process (also featuring a white rather than blue background). How to speed up Windows 10 We solve 100 common Windows 10 problems How to uninstall a Windows 10 update It still remains broadly the same as the existing Windows 10 setup experience, mind you, in many respects, with the same basic steps such as the screen of options for choosing privacy settings on your PC. (Although Albacore observes that apparently some Windows 10 users currently get privacy options delivered one page at a time – and the new scheme of things will unify the experience for everyone). One big point to note, however, is that as mentioned Cortana will be dumped from Windows 10 setup, to the relief of many who found the digital assistant’s presence to be annoying and intrusive. Windows 10X removed Cortana from the OOBE as part of streamlining measures, as we’ve reported previously. Big changes We’ve already seen that preview build 20231 is rolling out a new element of the setup experience to some Windows 10 testers, whereby the OS asks about the type of usage and then tailors setup accordingly – to cater specifically for gamers, for example, or creative types, or a family setting up their PC. This, and bringing the setup experience across from Windows 10X, will all be part of revamping Windows 10’s OOBE – assuming that Microsoft doesn’t change its mind during testing and development, of course (but that doesn’t seem likely, as there appears to be a lot of momentum gathering behind these changes now).

Initial release date: May 26, 2020 Software developer: Allods Team Publishers: Mail Row, My.com Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One Since its launch in 2013, the free-to-play military FPS Warface has provided players with fun modes, maps, and gameplay. One of the modes, Plant the Bomb, is a more strategic take on the game’s otherwise fast-paced running and gunning. It requires one squad to infiltrate the enemy base and plant a bomb, and the defending squad is tasked with preventing that from happening. This Plant the Bomb mode has received its own spinoff with Warface: Breakout, a $20 game that improves on the base gameplay of standard Warface but strips down the options to a fault. The end result is a product you have to pay to play. The entry fee of $20 isn’t too terrible, but it does feel a bit high at this stage in the game’s early life. Plant The Bomb Much like Plant the Bomb mode in old school Warface, the gameplay of Warface: Breakout is strictly squad-based. If you’re the attacking team, you’ll have to run into the enemy camp and plant a bomb on one of two designated areas. The player with the bomb is picked at random. If that player is shot down, it’s up to another player to pick up the bomb and plant it. If you successfully plant the bomb, the round isn’t over yet until one of two things happens. You either must defend the bomb until it detonates, or you have to eliminate the entire enemy squad. If you’re the defending team, you must prevent all of that from happening. You can either defend until the timer runs out and the round ends or, much like the attacking squad, defeat all the soldiers on the other team. After a series of rounds, the teams switch, with the attacking team becoming the defending team and vice versa. It’s important to note that downed players cannot be healed and there’s no respawning, so if you go down, you’ll have to wait until the round ends. Interestingly, you don’t start out with a crazy loadout. Instead, you begin the game with a basic pistol. Performing well during a round gives you currency that you can use to equip better weapons in the next round. If you’re kicking butt, you’ll be able to equip top tier weaponry in just a few rounds. If you survive a round, your loadout carries over to the next round. On the flip-side, if you get taken down, you’ll have to spend whatever points you have to re-equip better guns. The way Warface: Breakout handles loadouts adds a nice strategic layer to the gameplay. Do you play aggressively right from the start? Do you save your currency to buy the best guns and grenades after three rounds instead of immediately? These are all questions you’ll have to ask yourself on a round-to-round basis. Speaking of strategy, Warface: Breakout is a much slower-paced game than its free-to-play counterpart. Rushing into the enemy base will surely end badly for you — and potentially your team as they’ll be down one soldier — so it’s best to stick with one or two other players and slowly make your way across enemy lines. Similarly, if you’re defending, you can’t go rogue and expect to Rambo your way through other players. This more methodical gameplay is what separates Warface: Breakout from other military FPS titles. It works well enough, but with more established options like Rainbow Six Siege available, you may have to ask yourself if this newer tactical FPS is worth it. Stripped Down But Polished Admittedly, Warface: Breakout feels a bit barren. With just a single mode, variety is definitely absent here. That’s not all that’s missing, though. While Warface includes multiple classes including riflemen, snipers, engineers, and the Terminator-like SED, Warface: Breakout doesn’t have any of that. Yes, there’s a decent number of guns to play around with, but with no actual classes to distinguish characters, things can start to get a bit repetitive. Warface: Breakout attempts to supplement its lack of modes with casual and hardcore gameplay options. The latter enables friendly fire and increases the number of rounds played. Outside of that, though, there’s not much to really bulk up the experience. On the plus side, the shooting in Warface: Breakout feels good. Aiming is tight and responsive, and the guns have a nice weight to them. And while you’ll definitely find your favorite loadout, the different guns all feel unique. No two assault rifles or SMGs are the same. This is great because depending on the map, how you approach each round, and what your specific plan of action is, you’ll be compelled to switch up which guns you use and how your strategy plays out. Though there are currently only five maps, they’re all pretty good. They’re a decent size and all the maps have a maze-like structure, so you can storm the enemy front in different ways. As the attacker, this makes it so that you can plan out different attack patterns. As the defender, it keeps you alert so that you’re careful not to get jumped by someone who may be lurking around the corner or camping atop a perch. Evolving Warface It seems as if Warface: Breakout and standard Warface are going to be kept independent of each other. That’s great, because if you dig what Warface has been doing for years, you can stick with that. It’s arguably the better game thanks to its wider variety of gameplay options and fully realized mechanics. It’s also free, so there’s that. But if you want to get in on what could be the start of something special, Warface: Breakout is decent enough. It’s a hard sell, no doubt, but it’s polished and is expected to receive some major content updates. Warface4.Jpg One department where Warface: Breakout really outshines the original game is in its visual presentation. The game looks good enough from a technical standpoint, but it’s the aesthetics of the different maps that really stand out. You’ve got cities, pyramids, and docks — and with more maps planned for future release, it’s going to be fun seeing what themes the developers explore in terms of art design. As far as the audio is concerned, the shooting has a nice strong sound to it that echoes across the entire map. Other than that, though, there’s some pretty generic — although apparently, licensed— electronic music and a bit of bad voice acting. This early into the game, I would have to say that I’ve enjoyed Warface: Breakout, but there’s a lot of room for improvement. The game feels bare-bones, even though the shooting mechanics are tight and polished. I like the maps, but I wish there were more. I like the guns, but I miss the classes of OG Warface. Yes, the developers have promised that there’s more content on the horizon, including seasonal play, but what’s available now is a bit lacking. It’s possible that Warface: Breakout will — pardon the pun — break out of the shadow of other tactical first-person shooters like Siege and CS:GO, but right now it’s a pretty basic game with solid shooting gameplay and nice maps but little else. Here’s hoping the game grows and becomes something special because the foundations for it to become exactly that are certainly there.

On Friday, Turkey announced new military maneuvers in the eastern Mediterranean, in a new escalation that continues to spark a wave of widespread criticism against Ankara for months. Sky News Arabia sources reported that the new Turkish military exercises will take place in the Aegean Sea, and come days after similar Greek military exercises in the eastern Mediterranean. The Turkish announcement of the new military maneuvers, which will continue until the end of this October, came in light of discussions between Turkey and Greece regarding areas for oil and gas exploration in the eastern Mediterranean. And Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu agreed with his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias to hold exploratory talks on the eastern Mediterranean, but without specifying a date for them. Greece conducted military exercises with live ammunition, in the eastern Mediterranean, on the sixth of October, and continued in two phases until the eighth of the same month. On October 1, NATO announced that Greece and Turkey had agreed on a mechanism to avoid any accidental clashes in the eastern Mediterranean, as part of efforts to defuse the crisis over energy resources in the region. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that the agreement between Ankara and Athens, both members of NATO, guarantees the establishment of a hotline to avoid accidents at sea and in the air. The eastern Mediterranean region has turned into a point of tension indicating the possibility of a military conflict between Turkey and its opponents, after Ankara's insistence on exploring energy resources in areas under dispute with Greece and Cyprus.

As furlough ends and the pandemic drags on, more people are likely to lose their jobs. But there are ways to protect yourself from the worst effects Since the pandemic hit, there has been wave after wave of job losses and, with no end in sight to the restrictions that have changed our way of life, Rishi Sunak’s wage subsidy scheme may not be enough to prevent more businesses cutting staff before the year is out. If you fear the worst, or are unlucky enough to have been let go, money will be on your mind. “Facing redundancy can be an extremely difficult time,” says Carlos Hagi, a welfare benefit expert at the charity Citizens Advice. “You may be feeling worried about the future and uncertain of how to manage your personal finances in the weeks and months ahead.” Fortunately, there are services out there to help, as well as things you can do to prepare for the worst. Before “The best time for redundancy planning is while you’re still working and earning – well before niggling worries at the back of your mind become pressing concerns,” says Sarah Coles, a personal finance expert at the investment firm Hargreaves Lansdown. “We could all do with devising a plan B – however secure we think our job is.” Speak to any financial adviser and they will suggest that you have three to six months’ money in a bank account that you can access without delay. That’s not the full salary for three to six months, but rather the amount you need in each month to pay for all the essentials. This means that one of your first steps, however much you earn, should be to look through your income and outgoings and draw up a budget showing you exactly what you are spending on the essentials. It is likely that the final number will look like a lot of money to put aside. Coles says it is important not to be put off: “Anything you do now will be better than nothing.” For some, lockdown and working from home have meant enforced savings, but if you have not been able to put anything away, have a good look at your monthly spending and see if there are ways to cut costs. There may be things you pay for that you don’t need any more, or you may realise you need to chase up a refund or a payment from someone else. Even if you are not making discretionary purchases you can cut, it is worth looking for savings. “Shopping around for everything from utilities to phones, insurance and groceries can help you save without making sacrifices,” says Coles. Use price-comparison sites such as comparethemarket.com or uSwitch for bills. Now that online slots for shopping are opening up, check that you are using the supermarket that offers the best deals on what you buy. The Latest Deals app has launched a supermarket price-comparison tool that compares prices at Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Waitrose and Iceland – you can search for the goods you want and see where they are cheapest. Do that on the most expensive things you buy and you may find it is worth shopping somewhere different. During If you are unfortunate enough to be told that your job is being made redundant, the first thing you should do is make sure you are being offered the right sum of money. There are rules around what employers have to pay if you have been at a company for two years or more. The sum is based on your age, your salary before tax and how long you have worked for the business. For anyone aged between 22 and 40, the minimum is one week’s pay for each full year you have been there. You are entitled to half a week’s pay for every year worked under the age of 22 and one and a half week’s pay for years aged 41-plus. The government website has a calculator you can use to check the figures. There are limits on the weekly pay and number of years that must be taken into account; the maximum statutory redundancy payment anyone can get is £16,140. You should be paid for any holiday you have built up and not taken and for any notice period that you are due, but told not to work out. Citizens Advice says you should make sure that you are not being paid less because you were furloughed. Even if you have been receiving only 80% of pay in recent months, your redundancy payment should be based on your full wage. If you work in a highly paid job, and have done so for a long time, your employer may offer much more than it is obliged to legally. This is when you need to be aware of what is and what is not subject to tax, as the topline number may not be the sum you end up with in your bank account. Up to £30,000 of a redundancy payout is not taxable – but holiday pay or pay in lieu of notice is not included in this and will be taxed as normal. “If you are getting more than £30,000 in redundancy pay, before you touch any of it, contact HMRC and check what tax will be due on it,” says Coles. “Often it will depend on your other income for the year, so you won’t be certain of your tax bill. In these circumstances, you need to put money aside for a potential tax bill, just in case.” You should also contact HMRC if you have paid any income tax during the year and are likely to be out of work for some time – what you have already paid in tax will be based on the assumption that you would earn the same all year, so you may be due some money back. A tax-efficient way to take a lump sum above £30,000 is to get some of it paid into your pension. If you have a workplace pension, this could involve talking to your employer or the people who run the scheme. “The option to pay part or all of a redundancy payment directly into a workplace pension scheme varies between employers,” says Jonathan Watts-Lay, the director of Wealth at Work, a company that offers financial advice in workplaces. “Some make it easy for redundancy pay to be paid into their workplace pension and others do not. Where the latter is the case, people will need to speak individually to the pension scheme administrator and ask if they will accept a personal lump sum contribution after their employment ends.” Coles says you need to be certain you don’t need the money for something else first – and make sure you won’t break the rules limiting annual pension contributions if you get a new job with a similar pension scheme. After It is important to know that there is support available. Hagi says: “That could be through the benefits system, talking with your providers or getting help with existing debts.” Citizens Advice recommends talking to your landlord (if you have one), to banks and lenders, and to service providers. “They may be able to help by reducing your payments, giving you more time to pay or, in the case of a provider, keeping you connected to their service even if you owe money,” the charity advises. Until 31 October, you can ask a lender for a three-month payment holiday on any mortgage, loan or credit card you have. The debt will not go away, but this could give you breathing space while you look for a new job. The lender should explain the implications and any options that may suit you better. Check if you can claim any benefits – the websites of Entitledto and Turn2Us have great calculators and are a good place to start your research. If you have more than £16,000 in savings, you won’t be eligible for universal credit, so if you get a redundancy payment this may not be an option. If you do have enough to live on and some to spare, look at what you can do to improve your financial situation. “If you have expensive debts, it may make sense to pay them off with your lump sum,” says Coles. “You’re likely to be paying more interest on them than you’re earning on your savings.” But don’t let the cost of interest be your only guide, she warns: “Consider what this will leave you to live on until you find work, and whether it’s enough.” Similarly, if you dream of using the cash as a launchpad for a new career, Coles says you must make sure you have done the maths. As well as paying for whatever you need to make that a reality, you will need to save enough money to live on if you are going into training or starting a business from scratch. Whatever your financial position, Coles says you should not underestimate the emotional impact of redundancy. “Even when it doesn’t come out of the blue, it can still take time to work through the anger, frustration or rejection,” she says. “It can help enormously if you’ve already done all the thinking and planning. That way, you can just follow the plan – rather than trying to think strategically and creatively at a time when your brain would rather you crawled into bed and gave up.”

KBB Editors’ Overview The 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray can blast from standstill to 60 mph in under three seconds and hit a top speed of 194 mph. It’s America’s supercar. Sure, the limited editions of the Ford GT are wonderful. But there’s something more, um, democratic about a mid-engined alternative to a Ferrari that doesn’t cost much more than a basic BMW 5 Series. Chevrolet’s iconic 2-seater sports car is now in the second year of its eight generation. And it’s different from any other ’Vette in history. Instead of the usual engine residing up front, the 2021 Corvette Stingray has a mid-engined layout, in common with Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren supercars. Placing the engine in the middle puts more weight over the rear wheels, enhancing grip, traction, and overall balance. This new Corvette definitely feels more neutral than its predecessor when thrown into turns. Yet it still manages to be completely bearable and actually quite comfortable for daily commutes. Then there’s the striking design. As either a coupe with a removable roof panel or a convertible, the 2021 Corvette could easily be mistaken for an Italian exotic. But now the Corvette can run wheel-to-wheel with exactly that kind of machine. Perhaps most shocking is the C8 Corvette’s starting price. Chevy has kept it under $60,000. That’s far below the supercars it now calls true rivals and significantly less than a Porsche 911 or Acura NSX. How Much Does the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Cost? The 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray coupe in 1LT form has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $58,900. A $1,095 destination charge brings that to $59,995. The Corvette Stingray Convertible begins $7,500 higher than the coupe. Climbing trims and adding options can push the final tally past $80,000. Prices are the same as last year, however. For a mid-engined, high-performance sports car, the Corvette is a bargain. Compared with other supercars (regardless of whether their engines are up front, mid-mounted, or in the trunk), the Corvette’s price looks even more tempting. A Porsche 911 starts at around $100k. The Porsche 718 Cayman is much closer in price, yet down on power by nearly 200 horses. Ferrari and Lamborghini cars are in a league of their own, with prices in excess of a quarter of a million. McLarens are over $200k. The Acura NSX, with a sophisticated powertrain of a mid-mounted V6 and three electric motors, is about $160k; an Audi R8 starts at over $171k. Before buying what could be the best thing to ever enter your garage, check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their new Corvette. Resale values remain superb for Chevy’s latest legend, so you’ll be able to buy with the confidence that your passion will hold its value. Driving the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette This generation of Corvette still uses a big, naturally aspirated V8 engine. No turbos means no turbo lag. Instead, there’s an immediate response to every prod of the throttle pedal. Acceleration is exhilarating, made all the better by the sounds of the exhaust and the sense of that V8 rumbling (or howling) behind. Steering feel is precise, well-controlled, and nicely weighted. Look at a watch’s second hand or the counter on a smartphone’s clock. In just three ticks, the C8 Corvette would have sprung off the line and hit 60 mph on the way to reaching almost 200 mph. Leaving behind a whiff of tire smoke. The Z51 Performance Package unleashes the Corvette’s full potential. For $5,995, it hikes engine output to 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, as well as bringing a host of performance upgrades (see our Favorite Features below). Even without this option, the handling is pretty much perfect, able to transition rapidly from one direction to the other with absolute composure. For all that performance, most Chevy Corvettes will probably spend much of their time on ordinary roads among ordinary cars. Fortunately, even popping out to buy toothpaste becomes a peak experience in a new ’Vette. Various drive modes including Sport, Touring, and Z-Mode, which allows individualized driver settings. When not being pushed hard, the ride quality is fairly comfortable. Switch drive modes from Sport+ to Tour, and the car relaxes its entire character. Greater refinement and attitude adjustment come courtesy of the optional Magnetic Ride Control (aka adaptive dampers; $1,895) that no longer requires ordering the Z51 package as well. If there’s one thing missing, it’s a manual transmission. All 2021 Corvette Stingrays have an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Still, it does a great job with a slick shift action. And paddle shifters mounted beneath the steering wheel are always there whenever the driver feels like getting more involved. Favorite Features Z51 PERFORMANCE PACKAGE Available in any version of the 2021 Corvette C8, this package adds a throaty performance exhaust system, performance tires, electronic limited-slip differential, upgraded suspension, stronger brakes, aerodynamic additions, and more cooling. And the bump in power facilitates that remarkable sub-3-second sprint to 60 mph. OPEN-AIR EXCITEMENT IS STANDARD An open-air experience comes with both the Corvette Coupe and the Corvette Convertible. The Coupe’s body-colored roof panel is removable. The Convertible, only 101 pounds heavier than the coupe, has a power-folding hardtop. 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Interior If ever there was a “driver-focused” cockpit, this is it. Virtually everything is angled toward the driver, including the 8-inch infotainment screen. One of the most polarizing elements of the C8 Corvette is the long spine of buttons that nearly encroach into the passenger side. They operate climate controls, including the optional seat heat/ventilation. This arrangement can look confounding at first, but soon becomes second nature as the driver’s fingers locate the buttons’ indentations. But it does create a barrier between the Corvette’s two occupants. Back on the driver’s side, there is plenty of space in which to operate, and the seats are comfortable for long hauls. Another pleasant aspect is the squared-off steering wheel inspired by racing cars. Its shape acts as a frame for the standard 12-inch digital instrument cluster. Instead of a traditional shifter, there are buttons to put the transmission into Drive, Park, Neutral, and Reverse. The optional rearview camera mirror can turn from a conventional item into a monitor providing an image unhindered by rear pillars or the low roof. Storage space isn’t bad. Despite the engine’s location, there’s enough room in the trunk for two sets of golf clubs and space under the hood for a carry-on case. 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Exterior The move to a mid-engined configuration means the C8 Corvette now enjoys a muscular architecture, especially at the rear. The front end remains appreciably long, and the rest of its composite body is a canvas for sculpted sides, air intakes, and other elements that all hint not-so-subtly at performance potential. The roof features a “double bubble” design. On Corvette Stingray Convertible models, it takes a little as 16 seconds to retract — at speeds of up to 30 mph. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, of course, but the 2021 Corvette Stingray is arguably stunning, looking far more expensive than its actual price. 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Standard Features The 2021 Corvette Stingray C8 comes in 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT trim levels. The base 1LT coupe includes leather-covered/8-way power-adjustable seats, keyless entry/ignition, dual-zone climate control, configurable 12-inch digital instrument cluster, rear parking sensors, mechanical limited-slip differential, LED headlights, and a removable body-colored roof panel. The standard infotainment system has an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, satellite radio, two USB ports, auxiliary input, Wi-Fi, and a 10-speaker Bose audio setup. The 2LT version is even more recommendable, adding premium touches like heated/ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, navigation, a head-up display, Rear Camera Mirror, forward-facing camera, Performance Data Recorder, wireless phone charging, and a 14-speaker Bose audio system. 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Options The range-topping Corvette 3LT adds sportier GT2 seats in upgraded Nappa leather, plus more leather and simulated suede in the cabin. The Z51 Performance Package is available with all variants and well worth having. Other options include a front-end lift system that can save the lip spoiler from scrapes or worse, Magnetic Ride Control suspension, plus an array of exterior paint colors, racing stripes, wheel options, even different colors of brake calipers and seatbelts. The steering wheel can also be wrapped in a suede-like microfiber. 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Engine Corvettes and V8 engines have always been a po[CENSORED]r double act. The 2021 ’Vette has a 6.2-liter small-block V8, codenamed LT2. It has some old-school traits, like pushrods where most other manufactures would fit double overhead cams, but it’s been worked on to suit the otherwise wonderfully contemporary C8 Corvette. In its standard state, the engine makes 490 horsepower. The Z51 package increases that to 495 horsepower. The sole transmission is an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic, sending power only to the rear wheels — a time-honored arrangement for any self-respecting supercar.

The iPhone 13 display is in for a couple of major shakeups next year Apple just announced an October 13 launch event where we expect the iPhone 12 to be the headline. We have a pretty clear picture of the four models Apple should reveal next week, but the rumor mill must churn on and some leakers are already turning to the iPhone 13. Prolific and often reliable leaker @UniverseIce weighed in with an alleged design change arriving on the iPhone 13, that is, a reduction in the size of the display notch. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review Pixel 5 vs. Galaxy S20 FE: Which $699 smartphone is the best? Best phone deals of October Rumors of the notch slimming down considerably on the iPhone 12 were rampant in the spring, but reliable leaker Jon Prosser killed these rumors in late August with an alleged video of a pre-production iPhone 12 Max that included a virtually unchanged notch from the iPhone 11. Given the considerable design change expected on the iPhone 12, we assumed the iPhone 13 would stick pretty close to that design as well. That said, a shift in the size of the notch seems within reason. While Ice Universe appears to share my own level of drawing skill, a sketch they posted nonetheless conveys the idea successfully. There's no question that many would like to see the notch on the display disappear entirely but it's very plausible that the technology to do that won't get here in time for the iPhone 13. One new feature we can virtually guarantee for the iPhone 13 Pros after next week will be the inclusion of 120Hz displays if Apple does indeed fail to deliver them on the iPhone 12 Pros. The leaks pointed to it being a near-miss this time and not something Apple will want to repeat considering Samsung has a two-year lead on high refresh rate smartphones. Naturally, take all of this with a grain of salt as the iPhone 13 is one year away and , as we saw with the iPhone 12 development cycle, there's plenty that can happen between now and then.

Consolidation in the VPN market continues Publishing and SaaS behemoth J2 Global has quietly acquired certain assets owned by ibVPN, a VPN provider based in Romania. We reviewed ibVPN a while back and found it offered an interesting array of privacy and VPN features. “It's not always easy to use and we found speeds could be below average on a few locations, but it's worth taking the 24-hour trial for a spin, to see how the service works for you,” wrote our reviewer. J2 Global, owner of IGN and PC Mag, also confirmed it has snapped up software firms Kickbox and SpatialBuzz and divested VoIP businesses Fonebox and Zintel Communications. Here's our list of the best anonymous browsers around Check out our list of the best Windows 10 VPN apps on the market We've built a list of the best web proxies available VPN deal The acquisitions are expected, according to a statement, to “grow the company’s global customer base, provide access to new markets and expand the J2 Global’s product lineup”. The terms of the individual acquisitions were not disclosed. The company went on a shopping spree in 2019, adding VPN features to its po[CENSORED]r testing service Speedtest and acquiring SaferVPN, Encrypt.me, IPVanish, StrongVPN and Buffered VPN. It has also started to bundle VPN services with Sugarsync, its cloud storage offering. It went on to acquire RetailMeNot.com and SRFax, one of the few remaining online fax services, in September 2020. Earlier this month, the firm announced the pricing of a $750m offering of senior notes to pay back an existing $650 million loan that was due to mature in 2025.
