Overcooked: All You Can Eat bundles the two games and all DLC together in one remastered package on PlayStation 5. The collection will be available on the next-gen system from day one, and it sounds like it's really taking advantage of the new hardware. In addition to more detailed levels, 4K support, and 60 frames-per-second performance, publisher Team 17 has detailed how the game utilises the DualSense PS5 controller. In this co-op cooking game, it's important to know who's who onscreen. With the DualSense's light bar, which surrounds the touch pad, you'll be able to see at a glance which colour player you are. This was the case on PS4, but the new position of the light bar makes this a much more useful feature. Additionally, you'll be able to swipe your finger across the touchpad to select from a series of emotes. The game will also be making use of the DualSense controller's built-in speaker, broadcasting in-game alerts to players through their pads as well as the TV. Most importantly, though, haptic feedback is being used for numerous things. The PlayStation Blog post describes being able to "feel" your food burning, which will certainly be alarming. Furthermore, the haptic feedback will tell you where something is happening by localising the sensation to one spot on the controller. "It may be all calm on one side of the kitchen but if a pan is on fire on the other side, your DualSense wireless controller will tell you," says the blog post. All sorts of things will trigger the haptics, such as burning food, fires, when food is ready, when you catch an item thrown to you, and more. We're looking forward to getting back in the kitchen with Overcooked: All You Can Eat on PS5. Will you be dining on this one? Have a bite to eat in the comments section below.

Google Workspace : Collaboration + productivity apps There are many different office software suites but Google Workspace formerly known as G Suite remains the original cloud one and one of the best business office suites, offering a huge range of features and functionality that rivals can't match. Try it free for 14 days.The best Microsoft Office alternatives can increase office productivity. Microsoft Office remains the most po[CENSORED]r productivity suite for documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more - whether as a download software package, or as the cloud-based Microsoft 365 suite - through powerful apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Access, Outlook, and more. However, a range of alternative competitors have become increasingly attractive, not least because of more price-competitive licensing fees, and some are free to use. However, paying less, or nothing, doesn't necessarily mean that the software is of lower quality, as the open source community can testify. Yet there can be issues with sharing documents between different office suite platforms, which can be a real concern. This is why when choosing an alternative to Microsoft Office, you need to be certain of any shortfalls that might limit your use of the software, especially if you need to share or collaborative on documents with other users who have one or more different office suites. If you're using the office alternative as a standalone piece of software there shouldn't be any such issues, but it is something to be mindful about if you end up changing to a different software suite. That said, the best in the Microsoft Office alternatives are generally strong programs with full functionality, and little problem sharing files with other platforms, though few come close to the full functionality of Microsoft 365 with it's cloud service bundle that includes OneDrive and Microsoft Teams. Here we'll show the best of them, along with their strengths and weaknesses.Best Microsoft Office alternatives - at a glance LibreOffice FreeOffice WPS Office Calligra OfficeSuite Polaris Office OnlyOffice WordPerfect Zoho Workplace Google Workplace LibreOffice is the offspring of The Document Foundation and split from OpenOffice in 2010. The suite itself is free and open source, and is made up of a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation software, and is available in 110 languages. While LibreOffice uses the ODF (OpenDocument) format it still supports a range of other format types such as those used in Microsoft Office. LibreOffice is the default suite for most Linux distros and it is also available for use on Windows and macOS. There's also a LibreOffice viewer for Android. As with most open source software all your technical support comes from online, but seeing how easy this is to use, support will be rarely needed. The platform also offers the option to export your files into PDF format amongst others. You can add extra features to LibreOffice via extensions from its website. These include extra templates for documents. If you are looking for a free and easy alternative to Microsoft Office, then FreeOffice is the suite for you. The company, SoftMaker, has been developing office software since 1987 and its office suite is their flagship product. FreeOffice is a complete office suite that is free to use for both home and in the workplace. It is developed for both Windows and Linux, and offers a basic version for Android users. The suite itself is fully compatible with all Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats. This means that you can not only view but save files in formats such as DOCX, XLSX and PPTX. It also supports older file types such as PPT and XLS. The new interface that was launched this year gives you the option of either working with modern or classic menus and toolbars. This makes switching from Microsoft Office easy to do as the interface is eerily similar. For those users who have the luxury of a touchscreen PC you can use touch mode with larger icons. This mode is available for both the newer version look and the classic menu-based interface. WPS Office was released in 2016 by Chinese software developer Kingsoft. It is an office suite that is available for Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. The suite is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Russian. It offers a free and a premium tier. The free tier allows you to use Writer, Presentation and Spreadsheets, which are alternatives to the Microsoft Office suite which it also resembles closely. WPS offers a PDF to Word converter which is fast and easy to use. It supports bulk exportation and can also split-merge PDF files if needed. The suite offers 1GB of free cloud storage for iOS and PC users, but this service is not yet available for Android. The 'Premium' tier allows the user to connect up 9 devices at once. It also gets rids of all those annoying adverts that are commonplace on the free tier. WPS has been criticised for not allowing collaboration beyond those that track changes and allow users to insert comments. Users have also said that the interface can be quite slow at times when it comes to loading documents. Linux users have mentioned that not all fonts are automatically included and that they have to be installed separately. For Android users installation is quite large and criticism has been levelled imploring the developer to make it more lightweight.

BYKSKI has once again kept its tradition alive by unveiling the first AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT & RX 6800 XT series water blocks which are designed specifically for the reference PCB variants. The water blocks come in various options to buy and come with an acrylic cover which provides a nice view. BYKSKI Unveils AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT & RX 6800 XT Series Water Blocks, Reference PCBs Compatible The BYKSKI water blocks include the A-RX6900XT-X and the A-RX6800-X. As the name suggests, the water blocks are compatible with the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, Radeon RX 6800 XT and the Radeon RX 6800 graphics cards but only with the reference PCBs. The initial wave of Radeon RX 6000 series cards is going to be reference designs only regardless so those who want to water cool one of their cards can get BYKSKI's latest solution. The Bykski water blocks use G1/4 threads for connection to custom loop setup and feature LED-lit RGB illumination. 1x full cover GPU block 1x backplate 2x blind plugs 1x fastening material 1x heat-conducting pads 1x instructions 1x RBW LED strip The site also lists down some additional information such as the jet microchannel structure which features 0.5 mm microchannels to channel liquid through and offerings larger airflow for faster heat dissipation from the GPU, VRAM, and VRMs. The main plate is made up of T2 high purity copper which has a thermal conductivity rate of 401W/MK. What's the most interesting detail provided by BYKSKI is that they are sharing the first images of the Radeon RX 6900 XT & Radeon RX 6800 XT / RX 6800 PCBs. The Radeon RX 6900 XT features a much wider PCB and seems to have a 16+2 phase power delivery while the Radeon RX 6800 (XT) features an 11+2 phase power delivery and a more standard PCB form factor. For modders, you can utilize the RGB features by either connecting the block to your motherboard using the 5V/12V RBW/RGB header. The strip is compliant with RGB sync features from all board manufacturers. The water blocks also come with a handy remote which lets you adjust the LEDs on the strip. The water blocks are listed for around $90 US for the Arcylic and $100 US if you include the back-plate. There's also a GPU block digital Display Module that will retail at $35 US. The tiny module features a small LCD screen but it's not confirmed whether it will be customizable or cycle through a range of GPU metrics such as temperatures, clocks, etc.

A Toronto MP is leaving the Liberal caucus after CBC News found she had employed her sister in her constituency office for years using public funds— a violation of parliamentary rules. Yasmin Ratansi announced her departure late Monday on Facebook. "I made an error in judgment by employing my sister in my constituency office, and I have remedied the situation, but this does not excuse the error I made," she wrote. Ratansi said she will continue sitting as an Independent, representing her constituents in Don Valley East, and will "await guidance" from the ethics commissioner. The statement comes more than 30 hours after CBC News asked her office for comment on the issue. Several former staffers told CBC News Ratansi tried to cover up the relationship by having her sister use a fake first name and telling some staff to keep their family connection quiet. "I think it's horrific that a member of Parliament that's entrusted to behave honourable and ethically can get away with impunity," said a former employee. "It really questions the integrity of the institutions." Ratansi, a backbencher, is a trained accountant and became the first Muslim woman elected to the House of Commons in 2004. She lost the seat in 2011 and won it back in 2015. Ratansi is the chair of the standing committee on environment and used to be the vice-chair of the committee overseeing federal government departments' expenses. Her sister Zeenat Khatri has worked as her constituency assistant for much of her time in office, according to six former staffers. During her early years as an MP, it was against the rules to hire "immediate family" including parents, spouses and children, but not siblings. That changed in 2012 when the House's Board of Internal Economy updated its bylaws, said House director of communications Heather Bradley. MPs have their own operating budget and are allowed to pay constituency assistants a maximum salary of $89,700 a year, according to the House of Commons. That means Ratansi could have paid her sister up to $267,000 for three years of salary. 'Blatant disregard' Multiple sources said Ratansi employed her sister from at least 2005 to 2011, then hired her again in 2017. But that time, said the sources, Ratansi and Khatri told staff to call her "Jenny" rather than Zeenat — a name she hadn't used in the office before. CBC News has seen one business card bearing the name "Jenny Khatri." "Yasmin told us explicitly — my sister will be coming to work in our office," said that same former employee. "She was going to assume a different name, so she was going to be referred to as Jenny. "The idea was we bring her in but try to conceal her identity, keep her hidden, keep her tucked away so that people don't find out that her sister is employed in the office." CBC News spoke to five former employees who worked for Ratansi's office between 2015 and present and a sixth person who worked for her more than a decade ago. They spoke on condition of confidentiality, citing fear of retaliation from Ratansi herself and of potential harm to their careers. Two former employees said Ratansi and Khatri went to great lengths to cover up their family connection from constituents. "The fact that she hired her sister and it's against the rules ... it just feels wrong, it is unethical and blatant disregard of the rules," said another former staff member. Multiple former employees said they saw Khatri hide in a spare office when members of the public came in. They said Khatri was worried that a volunteer or constituent might recognize her as Ratansi's sister. Sources also said Khatri instructed some employees to make sure she wasn't photographed at public events — unless she was attending as a family member rather than as Ratansi's constituency assistant. "You might not like it, but you're bound to sort of keep that secret, or else," said one former staffer. "We were forced to, as staff members, to basically be complicit in unethical behaviour … it hurts to basically choke that down and not say anything." Other staffers claim they were kept in the dark. One former employee said they believed the pair were not related and, when told that Ratansi and Khatri are siblings, said "the wool was pulled over my eyes." As of Monday, Khatri was still listed as Ratansi's constituency assistant on the government's online directory. More than 24 hours after CBC News asked Ratansi for comment, her Liberal website had been taken down. 'It's a hard day' says government whip Chief government whip Mark Holland said he was not aware of the issue until contacted by CBC News on Monday. He said the House rules are clear and it's "essential they be respected." "We try to have rigorous systems and processes but clearly this was not caught and now it has to go to the ethics commissioner to figure out what the appropriate restitution is," he told CBC News. "It's a hard day. I was elected in 2004 with Yasmin, so it's a very difficult day. But I think taking responsibility for her lapse in judgment, stepping away from caucus … these are the right steps." Chris MacDonald, an associate professor who teaches business ethics at the Ted Rogers School of Management in Toronto, says there are good reasons why the public frowns on nepotism and expects public figures to hire on merit. He said the claim that Ratansi covered up her sister's hiring is more troubling than the hiring itself. He said it suggests a guilty mind and an attempt to keep information from constituents and voters. "Once there is an attempt to cover it up, then it makes it pretty clear that even the person doing the hiring realizes there's something fishy here," he said. "If these allegations are true, it's a disturbing picture of abuse of power, of a misuse of a position that involves trust and public resources."

Sony has caught a fair bit of flak over the past few months for raising the price of PlayStation 5 titles to $70, but as it turns out, it could have been even worse. According to a new report from Bloomberg reporters Olga Kharif and Takashi Mochizuki, the Japanese giant considered raising the prices of its first-party exclusives beyond $70 to combat inflation and the increasing costs of AAA development. The report reads: "At one point, Sony discussed going even higher before settling on $70. Many of the game executives requested anonymity, apparently because they recognize the move is unpo[CENSORED]r. In many cases, companies won’t acknowledge the fee increase, saying only that prices will vary by title." It's no secret that it has never cost more money to produce the ground-breaking titles Sony puts out each year, but some parts of the internet hoped this price hike would do away with microtransactions. That doesn't appear to be the case, however, as $70 PS5 titles will make up a part of the launch line-up alongside paid in-game currencies. Capcom's chief financial officer, Kenkichi Nomura, adds: "We believe game software’s price should be determined by how much money consumers are willing to pay for the quality, not by how much money we spend to make that game." How do you react to this? Would you pay more than $70 to play a PS5 game on day one? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Folks still on the May 2019 Update will be force upgraded over the next month Windows 10 users who are still on the May 2019 Update should be aware that they are about to be forced to upgrade by Microsoft whether they like it or not, because support is soon set to run out for that version of the desktop OS. The first update of 2019 arrived on May 22, and earlier in 2020, Microsoft let us know that the final cumulative update for the May 2019 Update would arrive on December 8 – and that afterwards, this version would no longer be supported. How to speed up Windows 10 We solve 100 common Windows 10 problems How to uninstall a Windows 10 update That being the case, those who are still using this version are being automatically upgraded to a more recent supported feature update with no choice in the matter, as mentioned. As Windows Latest reports, Microsoft is now informing users of the necessary imminent upgrade, and over the course of the next month before support expires, May 2019 Update users will be upgraded in waves. These users will be moved onto the new October 2020 Update or the May 2020 Update, assuming there are no compatibility blocks in place with their particular hardware or software configuration. If there are such blocks, then they will be upgraded to the November 2019 Update instead (which is still supported until May 2021). Pro tip As we’ve said, it’s not possible for Windows 10 users to dodge this mandatory upgrade, unless you’re using Windows 10 Pro, in which case you can get around this forced upgrade by tinkering with Group Policy settings. Those with Windows 10 Home don’t have this option. Windows 10 May 2020 Update was the major upgrade of the last three Microsoft has pushed out, although it hasn’t been massively po[CENSORED]r, with reports of quite a number of bugs with this version unlikely to have helped its cause. According to the latest stats we’ve seen, just over 20% of Windows 10 users remain on the May 2019 Update, so that’s a fair few folks who are going to be upgraded.

Sapphire has officially announced its next-generation Nitro+ and PULSE Radeon RX 6800 series graphics cards. The lineup includes three Nitro+ and two PULSE series cards which come in both Radeon RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 flavors. Sapphire Unveils Radeon RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 Nito+ / PULSE Series Graphics Cards, Stunning Designs, 2.7 Slots & Triple-Fan Cooling The Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 series graphics card line up is split into the Nitro+ and PULSE series. The Nitro+ being the more premium lineup comes in both RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 flavors and even includes one additional Special Edition 'SE' variant for the Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card. So let us start with the Nitro+ series graphics lineup first Sapphire RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 Nitro+ Series Graphics Cards The Radeon RX 6800 XT Nitro+ from Sapphire is shown to be a massive triple-fan cooled graphics card. Two of the fans feature 9 blades each while the one at the end features 12 fan blades and as such, we can expect them to push lots of airflow towards the central heatsink assembly. The card features a massive metal backplate and it does extend beyond the length of the PCB. There's a cutout at the backside to let air pass through the aluminum fins. You can also spot an RGB Nitro+ logo which looks great with the whole aesthetics of the card. The card is said to feature a 2.7 slot design and from the looks of it, features a large aluminum heatsink beneath the shroud which features 6 massive heat pipes. Details such as final clocks & PCB design remain unknown at the moment but we expect them to be shared prior to the launch on the 18th of November. Sapphire RX 6800 XT Nitro+ SE 'Special Edition' Graphics Card The main difference between the Sapphire RX 6800 XT Nitro+ SE and the Nitro+ variants seems to be the fans that feature RGB LEDs integrated within them. The SE also seems to be the only variant in Sapphire's RX 6800 lineup to feature a USB Type-C connector whereas the rest of the Nitro+ line is configured with three DP and a single HDMI port.Aside from that, we can expect the SE variant to feature higher factory overclocks and a slightly better PCB. All Nitro+ Radeon RX 6800 series graphics card variants feature a dual 8-pin power connector configuration so a good PSU around 700-800W would be recommended for these cards.Sapphire RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 PULSE Series Graphics Cards Finally, we have the PULSE variants which come in Radeon RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 series. Unlike the massive 12-fan blade cooling systems on the Nitro+, the PULSE series gets a triple-fan solution that is comprised of 9-fan blades. The heatsink underneath looks largely the same but we can see one less heatpipe for the PULSE variant.The card also looks to be less wide and comes with the red and black trim that PULSE cards are known for. Once again, both cards feature a dual 8-pin connector configuration while display outputs include the standard 1 HDMI and triple DP ports. The card also features no RGB LEDs. Sapphire has provided no word on pricing or availability of the graphics cards but expect it to be posted soon!AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series Graphics Cards Pricing & Availability The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics cards will be available starting the 8th of December. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT is said to carry a price tag of $999 US and is expected to be a reference only model for this year unless AMD gives its AIB partners a greenlight for custom variants which may be in the plans. The Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 will be launching in the retail market on 18th November for $649 US and $579 US, respectively.

Hyundai i20 2020 was recently launched at a starting price of ₹6.79 lakh (ex-showroom). The top variant of the i20, which is the 1.0-litre Turbo GDi Petrol Asta(O) model, will come at a price of ₹11.17 lakh (ex-showroom). Not only is the new i20 directly competing against the premium hatchbacks available in the Indian market but in terms of its pricing alone, it also takes on one of the most po[CENSORED]r passenger vehicle segments in India, the sub-compact SUVs. If price is the one big, overpowering consideration for someone in the market for a new vehicle, irrespective of segments, does the i20 2020 hold its own against a long list of sub-compact SUVs? The Hyundai i20 base variant Magna petrol model would cost around ₹7.75 lakh on road in Delhi. That is still about ₹20,000 more than the base variant of the Kia Sonet SUV (at ₹7.55 lakh on-road price in Delhi) and a few thousand rupees more than the Hyundai Venue SUV (at ₹7.71 lakh on-road price in Delhi). When it comes to the absolute top-of-the-line variants, the Hyundai i20 1.0-litre Turbo GDi Petrol Asta(O) model maxes out at around ₹13.12 lakh on road in Delhi. In comparison with Kia Sonet 1.5-litre GTX Plus ( ₹15.26 lakh on-road price in Delhi) or the 1.0-litre Turbo Venue Sport SX Plus ( ₹13.18 lakh on-road price in Delhi) the premium hatchback may make more price sense. However, the top-spec variant of the i20 is definitely more expensive than the other options in its segment by around ₹one lakh. Interestingly, and if reports are to believed, one may even get the upcoming Nissan Magnite SUV for less than ₹one lakh compared to the new i20. (Also Read: Hyundai i20 2020 vs Tata Altroz vs Maruti Baleno price structures compared) The new generation Hyundai i20 seeks a premium based on the features and the variety of powertrain it has to offer. Besides the new look and design elements, the i20 has grown in size and thus offers more space and increased wheelbase. Features like a 10.25-inch HD touchscreen infotainment with navigation, the largest in its segment, Bose 7-speaker sound system, blue-coloured ambient light theme, segment-first wireless phone charging option with cooling pad and a large digital cluster with TFT Multi-information display are available in i20. The i20 also gets a electronic sunroof and an industry-first Oxyboost Air Purifier with air quality display. Most of these features are also available in some of the subcompact SUVs. Even engine-wise there are similarities with some of the subcompact SUVs available. The i20 has a turbo variant with a 1.0-litre engine and 1.5-litre Diesel engine too, besides a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine. The same engines are also available in the likes of Hyundai Venue or Kia Sonet, with both manual or automatic transmission, just like the i20, and the new iMT transmission technology as well. However, being smaller in size, the i20 promises be a lot more fun to drive with the kind of powertrains on offer, a feature-packed cabin and a more spacious interior. The new i20 has already garnered over 10,000 bookings and it will be interesting to see if it can challenge the segment leader Maruti Suzuki Baleno any time soon.

A healthy lifestyle was found to be inversely associated with all-cause mortality, regardless of polypharmacy, according to study results presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2020, held virtually from November 13 to 17, 2020.1 In this study, data of participants in the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study were examined. The impact on all-cause mortality of exposure to 4 behaviors considered as healthy was assessed. These behaviors, which were scored from 0 to 2, in which 0 indicated low adherence and 2 indicated high adherence, were the following: adherence to a Mediterranean diet, physical activity, smoking abstinence, and sedentary lifestyle avoidance (ie, low TV time). The impact of the cumulative Health Behavior Score (HBS), which was based on the sum of individual behavior scores (range, 0-8 on all-cause mortality, the study’s main outcome was also examined. Cox proportional hazards models were estimated for each medication burden stratum (0-4 medications at baseline: no polypharmacy; 5-9 medications: polypharmacy; and ≥10 medications: hyperpolypharmacy) and were adjusted for sociodemographics, health status, comorbid conditions, and medication adherence. The data of 20,417 participants (mean age, 64.8±9.2 years; 56% women) were examined, with an average of 9.8±3.8 years of follow-up. At baseline, 44% of participants had no polypharmacy, 39% had polypharmacy, and 17% had hyperpolypharmacy. All-cause mortality was found to increase with increasing medication burden (no polypharmacy, 19.1%; polypharmacy, 29.7%; and hyperpolypharmacy, 41.3%). The highest score for each behavior was inversely associated with all-cause mortality in all 3 strata. In addition, the highest HBS for all 3 strata was associated with substantial benefit: no polypharmacy (hazard ratio [HR,] 0.52; 95% CI, 0.45-0.61); polypharmacy (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.49-0.63); and hyperpolypharmacy (HR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.58-0.82). “We’ve long known about the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle,” noted lead author, Neil Kelly, PhD, a medical student at Weill Cornell Medicine of Cornell University in New York City, New York.2 “The results from our study underscore the importance of each person’s ability to improve their health through lifestyle changes even if they are dealing with multiple health issues and taking multiple prescription medications.” Dr Kelly recommends that healthcare professionals counsel patients, including those taking several prescription medications, and develop interventions that can maximize healthy lifestyle behaviors. “It’s important for the public to understand that there is never a bad time to adopt healthy behaviors,” he noted. “These can range from eating a healthier diet to taking a daily walk in their neighborhood. A healthier lifestyle buys more time.” Disclosures: One of the study authors reported an affiliation with a biotechnology company. Please see the original reference for a full list of disclosures.

Welcome from the Groceries Code Adjudicator The relationship between the UK’s regulated retailers and their direct suppliers is entering a new era created by or, in some cases, brought forward by, Covid-19 and at this very challenging time I am delighted to introduce myself as the new Groceries Code Adjudicator. A great deal of progress has been made since the Groceries Supply Code of Practice was introduced and my thanks go to Christine Tacon for the immense role she played in achieving real change in the sector. However, there is still more to do and the pandemic has created huge economic challenges that will undoubtedly have an impact on the large supermarkets and their direct suppliers. I want to bring my commercial and legal experience to ensure the retailers continue to comply with the Code and build constructive relationships with their suppliers. I enjoyed a long career in industries selling products and services in highly competitive, price-sensitive markets. Notably, I worked for the world’s largest foodservice business. As a result I have a strong understanding of the food supply chain and recognise the fine balance that exists between suppliers and their customers as well as the wide disparity between the size of some parties to the buy/sell relationship. For the past three months I have been the Deputy Groceries Code Adjudicator and using the time to meet the retailers’ Code Compliance Officers (CCOs), CEOs and Audit Committee Chairs, suppliers and trade associations. I have already held more than 40 meetings. I have been particularly encouraging all CCOs to ensure that suppliers understand the role the CCOs can play in resolving any issues they may have with the retailers. Throughout this period my GCA team has been providing excellent support. You can meet the team below. My approach My approach will be very much “open door”. As soon as conditions allow I intend to get out and meet suppliers at as many events and opportunities as possible. I want suppliers to recognise that I am there to support them and – vitally important – that they can always trust me to preserve confidentiality. That will be central to all engagement I have with suppliers because I understand that concerns about retaliation can be very real. I also intend to build on the collaborative approach that Christine Tacon had with the retailers and drive forward the whole-house approach to compliance including training within each of the retailers. My objective is that I will never have to arbitrate a dispute or carry out an investigation – but if I have to, I will. My clear message is that the Code is there to support suppliers and can be used to level up the very uneven playing field on which suppliers – particularly smaller suppliers – often find themselves operating. This year an important focus for me will be to understand why so many suppliers – just over a third – still reported Code-related issues in the 2020 GCA survey. The Code: Know it, Use it, Grow your business In all my discussions and meetings I will be encouraging suppliers to maintain a constructive relationship with buyers so that the retailer is aware of their business and decisions can be taken jointly, and on a “no-surprises” basis, as far as possible. I will be continuing to encourage them to Know the Code and Be Code Confident but to use it wisely. This way suppliers can grow their businesses. My advice will be not to continuously drop the Code into conversations and negotiations or as a throwaway when the going gets tough – but to use it when it is needed; for example when a retailer makes a proposal that is clearly contrary to the Code. I expect the retailers to respond positively if this happens. If this does not happen, please let me or your trade association know. Details of how to contact the GCA are given below. It is clear that the sector is changing in response to the pressures created by Covid-19 with, for example, some retailers extending more favourable payment terms to smaller suppliers originally introduced at the start of the pandemic. Also, while promotions may become less common (or are converting into everyday low pricing strategies) making forecasting somewhat easier, retailers are looking carefully at their ranges, their routes to market and their pricing propositions to consumers. As the sector changes so will my focus – issues such as funding the costs of a promotion may give way to more considerations of dealing in good faith, delisting and delays in payment as range reviews are conducted and Good Faith Receiving becomes more commonplace. We are entering a new phase of relationships and I want the retailers to know that I will be closely following how they operate in the new “normal” as we adapt to the conditions created by Covid-19. I urge suppliers to let me know, confidentially, of any issues of concern – if I do not know I will not be able to help. Meet the team Mark White will be supported by a small team ensuring smooth running of the GCA office, finances, governance, events, communications and projects. Meet the team below. Alice Ellison - Head of Office Alice joined the GCA Team over the summer on secondment from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). She is responsible for overall running of the GCA office and Team and her previous roles include working as Head of Environment for the British Retail Consortium. Jilly Cole - Policy Manager Jilly has been with the GCA Team since January 2018 and is on secondment from the Housing Ombudsman Service. Jilly’s projects include the annual GCA survey of suppliers and analysis of the Annual Compliance Reports provided by Designated Retailers. Louisa Briki - Operations Manager Louisa started with the Team in July on secondment from BEIS. Louisa leads on finance, governance and HR issues and is responsible for ensuring that the GCA publishes its annual reports and accounts. We will be joined soon by a Deputy Operations Manager who will look after the GCA website and the GCA conference. 2021 survey Mark White is keen to have early information about what suppliers think and the behaviour they experience from retailers. There will also be an opportunity for suppliers to provide positive feedback and compliment their retailers. The GCA is currently planning the next annual survey. This will be launched in January – earlier than previous years. Look out for information on how to complete. Once again YouGov will conduct the survey for the GCA so suppliers can be completely confident that their information is being handled confidentially. For 2021 YouGov has been asked to carry out interviews with a number of suppliers to explore some areas in more detail. Code Confident pack The GCA has published (electronically) a handy ‘pocket guide’ to the Code. It contains a copy of the Code together with other useful information such as retailer CCO contact details and a collection of GCA publications about the Code. Visit the GCA website to download the Code Confident pack today. Keeping up to date and contacting the GCA News about developments will be regularly provided on the GCA website – and Twitter feed – UKGCA. Mark White has uploaded an introductory video on the GCA YouTube channel and new videos will be uploaded as created. Please subscribe to see the latest additions. If you would like to get in touch with the GCA and his team to tell him about your experiences, please email Enquiries@GroceriesCode.gov.uk or call 020 7215 6537.

Destruction AllStars was due to release on the PlayStation 5 at launch next week, so the title’s probably pretty much done at this point. However, it’s been delayed until February and added to the PlayStation Plus lineup – but that hasn’t stopped its Trophies from stumbling onto Sony’s servers. The trinkets actually give us a glimpse into what the title’s all about, and unsurprisingly the focus appears to be on online play. There are gongs for completing single player challenges, but mostly you’ll earn trinkets for participating in the release’s various multiplayer modes. Each character appears to have their own Trophy, presumably to encourage you to experiment with their special abilities. You’ll also earn trinkets for winning 50 matches online, and emerging victorious at least once with each AllStar. A potentially tough one, then, but plenty of incentive to keep you playing.

(The Center Square) – The Dominion Voting Systems, which has been used in multiple states where fraud has been alleged in the 2020 U.S. Election, was rejected three times by data communications experts from the Texas Secretary of State and Attorney General’s Office for failing to meet basic security standards. Unlike Texas, other states certified the use of the system, including Pennsylvania, where voter fraud has been alleged on multiple counts this week. Dominion Voting Systems, a Canadian company headquartered in Denver, is one of three companies primarily used in U.S. elections. The others are Election Systems and Software and Texas based-Hart InterCivic. The Dominion system was implemented in North Carolina and Nevada, where election results are being challenged, and in Georgia and Michigan, where a “glitch” that occurred reversed thousands of votes for Republican President Donald Trump to Democrat Joe Biden. While Biden declared victory Saturday in his U.S. presidential race against Trump, the Trump campaign is launching several challenges to vote counts in states across the country, alleging fraud. Dominion’s Democracy Suite system was chosen for statewide implementation in New Mexico in 2013, the first year it was rejected by the state of Texas. Louisiana modernized its mail ballot system by implementing Dominion’s ImageCast Central software statewide; Clark County, Nevada, implemented the same system in 2017. Roughly 52 counties in New York, 65 counties in Michigan and the entire state of Colorado and New Mexico use Dominion systems. According to a Penn Wharton study, "The Business of Voting," Dominion Voting Systems reached approximately 71 million voters in 1,635 jurisdictions in the U.S. in 2016. Dominion “got into trouble” with several subsidiaries it used over alleged cases of fraud. One subsidiary is Smartmatic, a company “that has played a significant role in the U.S. market over the last decade,” according to a report published by UK-based AccessWire. Litigation over Smartmatic “glitches” alleges they impacted the 2010 and 2013 mid-term elections in the Philippines, raising questions of cheating and fraud. An independent review of the source codes used in the machines found multiple problems, which concluded, “The software inventory provided by Smartmatic is inadequate, … which brings into question the software credibility,” ABS-CBN reported. Smartmatic’s chairman is a member of the British House of Lords, Mark Malloch Brown, a former vice-chairman of George Soros’ Investment Funds, former vice-president at the World Bank, lead international partner at Sawyer Miller, a political consulting firm, and former vice-chair of the World Economic Forum who “remains deeply involved in international affairs.” The company’s reported globalist ties have caused members of the media and government officials to raise questions about its involvement in the U.S. electoral process. In January, U.S. lawmakers expressed concern about foreign involvement through these companies’ creation and oversight of U.S. election equipment. Top executives from the three major companies were grilled by both Democratic and Republican members of the U.S. House Committee on House Administration about the integrity of their systems. Also in January, election integrity activists expressed concern “about what is known as supply-chain security, the tampering of election equipment during manufacturing,” the Associated Press reported. “A document submitted to North Carolina elections officials by ES&S last year shows, for example, that it has manufacturing operations in the Philippines.” All three companies “have faced criticism over a lack of transparency and reluctance to open up their proprietary systems to outside testing,” the Associated Press reported. In 2019, the AP found that these companies “had long skimped on security in favor of convenience and operated under a shroud of financial and operational secrecy despite their critical role in elections.” In its third examination of Dominion systems in 2019, Texas officials once again rejected using it after identifying “multiple hardware and software issues that preclude the Office of the Texas Secretary of State from determining that the Democracy Suite 5.5-A system satisfies each of the voting-system requirements set forth in the Texas Election Code.” The examiners raised specific concerns about whether the system “was suitable for its intended purpose; operates efficiently and accurately; and is safe from fraudulent or unauthorized mani[CENSORED]tion.” They concluded that Dominion systems and corresponding hardware devices did not meet Texas Election Code certification standards. Last December, a group of Democratic politicians sent a letter to leaders of private equity firms that own the major election vendors asking them to disclose information including ownership, finances and research investments. "The voting machine lobby, led by the biggest company, ES&S, believes they are above the law,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a member of the Intelligence Committee and co-signer of the letter, said. “They have not had anybody hold them accountable even on the most basic matters.” ES&S Chief Executive Tom Burt dismissed the criticism, telling NBC News that it was “inevitable and impossible to answer,” and called on Congress to implement “greater oversight of the national election process.” “There are going to be people who have opinions from now until eternity about the security of the equipment, the bias of those companies who are producing the equipment, the bias of the election administrators who are conducting the election,” Burt told NBC News. “What the American people need is a system that can be audited, and then those audits have to happen and be demonstrated to the American public,” Burt said. Burt argued last year in an op-ed published by Roll Call that national regulatory oversight was needed, including requirements for paper backups of individual votes, mandatory post-election audits and additional resources for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. NBC News examined publicly available online shipping records for ES&S and found that many parts for U.S. election machines, including electronics and tablets, were made in China and the Philippines. When it raised concerns about the potential for technology theft or sabotage, Burt said the overseas facilities were “very secure” and the final assembly of machines occurs in the U.S. The AP also surveyed the election software being used by all 50 states, the District of Columbia and territories. Roughly 10,000 election jurisdictions nationwide were using Windows 7 or an older operating system in 2019 to create ballots, program voting machines, tally votes and report counts, the AP found. Windows 7 reached the end of its operational life in January 2020. After Jan. 14, Microsoft stopped providing technical support and producing “patches” to fix software vulnerabilities, making Windows 7 easy to hack unless U.S. jurisdictions paid a fee to receive security updates through 2023, the AP found. According to its assessment, multiple states were affected by the end of Windows 7 support, including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina, many counties in Pennsyl

Mechanical keyboards can be pricey, especially if you’re looking for the best gaming keyboard. At that point, not only are you looking for a sturdy, attractive build and good typing experience, but you’re also for a favorable gaming experience. That may require extra features like programmable keys, per-key RGB and manageable software. The MSI Vigor GK50 Elite checks off a lot of those boxes, but not all of them. It’s an updated version of the MSI Vigor GK50 Low Profile that ups the ante with full-height mechanical switches and keycaps. At about $80 as of writing, this is a steal. With a gamer-friendly design, customizable per-key lighting and grease-resistant keys, the MSI Vigor GK50 Elite is one of the best budget mechanical keyboards for gamers. If you’re in the market for an RGB clacker with luxurious comfort and typing that won’t kill your pockets, take a close look. The MSI Vigor GK50 Elite carries over the same beautiful look as the preceding VIgor GK50 Low Profile. That means you’re getting a sleek metal top plate with a brushed finish. This makes for a subtle shine that helps the keyboard look a bit more expensive than it actually is. You also get a couple of appearances from MSI’s mascot, Lucky the Dragon, without it getting tacky. But it’s not just about how nice the Vigor GK50 Elite is to look at; it’s also about how functional the design is for long-term use. Thanks to some matte coating, the octagon-shaped plastic keycaps did a good job of fighting off grease stains, making this a good fit for the snacky gamer. The coating also makes for decent resistance; the keycaps squawk loudly if you rub your finger across them. Overall, the keycaps feel as thick and quality as your standard plastic keycaps aka nothing particularly special. The top-plate brings durability to the keyboard, but the Vigor GK50 Elite is still relatively lightweight overall at 1.8 pounds. For comparison, the similarly priced Cooler Master CK552 and Corsair K60 RGB Pro are 1.9 pounds and 2 pounds, respectively. Of course, our review focus takes up more space than its low-profile counterpart. While our review unit is 17.1 x 5.3 x 1.5 inches, the Vigor GK50 Low Profile is 17.1 x 5.6 x 1.3 inches. Both offer feet on the underside that flip out sideways, providing more height without the losing stability. One shortcoming is in the Vigor GK50 Elite’s cable. It’s a rubber cable without much reinforcement and seems like it could break after too much mani[CENSORED]tion. Typing Experience on MSI Vigor GK50 Elite The MSI Vigor GK50 Elite is available with two types of mechanical switches, and they’re both tactile and clicky. You can opt for Kailh Box White switches or the Kailh Blue switches in our review unit. Kailh Box Blues are loud and clicky and specced for 1.9 ± 0.4mm pretravel, 4.0 ± 0.4mm total travel and actuate with 50 ± 10 grams of force, bottoming out at 60 ± 10g. That makes them similar to the more traditional Cherry MX Blues (2mm pretravel, 4mm total travel, actuating at 50g and bottoming out at 60g). These types of switches are po[CENSORED]r for typing, thanks to their discernible tactile bump along the way and satisfyingly loud clicking sound. And if you type hard enough, those clicks will be accompanied by dings on the keyboard’s metal top plate, for an even louder experience. The amount of space between the keys was another positive, making it comfortable for me to type on for hours. If you’re used to linear switches or non-mechanical keyboards, the Vigor GK50 Elite will definitely take some getting used to it, particularly when it comes to applying enough force to get through that tactile pump. For comparison linear Cherry MX Reds only require 40g to actuate. But eventually I found myself typing faster on MSI’s clacker as I got more used to it. On the 10fastfingers.com typing test, I was able to hit my standard speed and accuracy. Now, I’m singing this keyboard’s praises to heavy typists It’s also worth noting that this will likely provide a more comfortable typing experience than the Vigor GK50 Low Profile. That keyboard comes with Kailh Choc White switches, with just 1.5mm pre-travel and 3mm total travel. We enjoyed the Vigor GK50 Low Profile’s sound and clickiness and didn’t think the switches were too shallow, but if you’re doing a lot of typing or want a more traditional feel, the Vigor GK50 Elite may be a little more up your alley. Gaming Experience on MSI Vigor GK50 Elite While my typing grew to improve with the Vigor GK50’s tactile, clicky switches, Whether playing Destiny 2, Ark: Survival Evolved or Dead By Daylight, I found the Kailh Blue switches slightly tiring because I had to apply more force to actuate them than I’m typically used to. This slowed me down, especially when I first started gaming with the keyboard. Again, this will present a greater learning curve to gamers used to linear switches particularly. Minding that caveat, after I got more used to it the Vigor GK50 Elite felt responsive and reliable when it came to rapid inputs. MSI also equips the keyboard with n-key rollover. The keys on MSI’s Vigor GK50 Elite are well-spaced, which was advantageous when gaming. Not only did it help me avoid mistresses, but it made the keyboard more comfortable to use, and I didn't experience the normal wrist fatigue after many hours of gameplay. With ARK, I was able to program keys to my liking, making consumables and my hotbar more readily accessible. I even used my per-key RGB to set different colors to important keys, which was super helpful in battle. It was all so convenient that it made me want to stay away from console gaming for a while. Another thing to keep in mind when gaming on this keyboard is how loud it is. Not only do the Kailh Blue switches have a prominent click, but if you type hard enough you’ll also hear a ding on the metal top plate. MSI includes an extra left Ctrl keycap and Alt keycap, as well as a keycap puller. These additional keycaps have rounded tops, instead of being indented like the rest, and are supposed to help gamers. But I thought they felt odd alongside the other keycaps and served no purpose Features and Software on MSI Vigor GK50 Elite The Vigor GK50 Elite works with MSI Dragon Center software, which I happened to already have installed. However, I had some difficulty downloading it, though others on staff did not. The MSI Vigor GK50 Elite offers great hotkey mapping out of the box, allowing you to switch between modes for media, volume and launching software. You can also control RGB settings, including speed, colors and brightness here. This is a nice touch, as it means you don’t have to download or open software to change up your lighting. Bottom Line If you’re in the market for a mechanical keyboard the MSI Vigor GK50 Elite is a no-brainer. It’s not just about throwing specs at you: MSI has built a keyboard that’s comfortable that I loved every second I spent typing or gaming with it. I also highly recommend it for people who get wrist fatigue. On the down side, this keyboard only comes with clicky, tactile mechanical switch options, which can get tiring when gaming, particularly if you're used to linear switches. Finally, the rubber cable doesn’t look the sturdiest. But at this price, the Vigor GK50 Elite is a great value. I typically use a Logitech G915 TKL, one of the best wireless keyboards and a more pricey at $230, but I’d still opt for the (roughly) $80 Vigor GK50 Elite with its full-sized typing experience and easy RGB control. Built for comfy gaming while staying shiny and sleek, this keyboard is one to rule them all.

As you might know, Auto Trader Group plc (LON:AUTO) recently reported its interim numbers. Results overall were respectable, with statutory earnings of UK£0.22 per share roughly in line with what the analysts had forecast. Revenues of UK£118m came in 2.2% ahead of analyst predictions. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year. Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus, from the 18 analysts covering Auto Trader Group, is for revenues of UK£278.1m in 2021, which would reflect a noticeable 7.4% reduction in Auto Trader Group's sales over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to descend 16% to UK£0.14 in the same period. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of UK£290.9m and earnings per share (EPS) of UK£0.15 in 2021. It's pretty clear that pessimism has reared its head after the latest results, leading to a weaker revenue outlook and a small dip in earnings per share estimates. Despite the cuts to forecast earnings, there was no real change to the UK£5.63 price target, showing that the analysts don't think the changes have a meaningful impact on its intrinsic value. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Auto Trader Group at UK£7.05 per share, while the most bearish prices it at UK£3.48. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets? This implies to us that there is a fairly broad range of possible scenarios for the underlying business. One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. These estimates imply that sales are expected to slow, with a forecast revenue decline of 7.4%, a significant reduction from annual growth of 5.0% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 22% annually for the foreseeable future. It's pretty clear that Auto Trader Group's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.

By CLAIRE GALOFARO AP National Writer As soon as the news buzzed on their phones, Americans gathered spontaneously on street corners and front lawns — honking their horns, banging pots and pans, starting impromptu dance parties — as a vitriolic election and exhausting four-day wait for results came to an end Saturday morning. And for all that joy, there was equal parts anger and mistrust on the other side. Across the United States, the dramatic conclusion of the 2020 election was cathartic. Just after The Associated Press and other news organizations declared that former Vice President Joe Biden beat President Donald Trump, fireworks erupted in Atlanta. In Maine, a band playing at a farmers’ market broke into the Battle Hymn of the Republic. People waved Biden signs from car windows and balconies, and a massive pro-Biden crowd gathered in the streets outside the White House. In New York City, some stopped their cars wherever they happened to be, got out and danced in the streets. Car horns and bells echoed through neighborhoods across Puerto Rico. In Louisville, Kentucky, Biden supporters gathered on their lawns to toast with champagne. In Kansas City, they swayed in a park to the song “Celebration” by Kool & the Gang. Trump’s supporters have for days been protesting outside of ballot-counting operations, alleging without evidence that the slow-moving results were proof of cheating. “This isn’t over! This isn’t over! Fake news!” some shouted Saturday as about 1,000 gathered at the Georgia State Capitol after news organizations’ decision to call the election. But across America, it was mostly the Democrats taking to the streets in jubilant displays, celebrating what was to them an end to four years of constant crises, chaos and anxiety. In New York City, some chanted “the nightmare is over.” “It’s surreal, I feel like I’m free from the clutches of evil,” said Lola Faleit, a 26-year-old human resources manager. “In 2016, we woke up crying. Today we are celebrating. Look, the sky is clear blue, the sun is out, Mother Nature is celebrating, too.” The nation paused, too, to reflect on electing its first woman vice president, Kamala Harris. Amid a celebration in Berkeley, California, where Harris spent much of her childhood, Mayor Jesse Arreguin said the liberal city’s diversity and progressive values helped shape Harris into a “leader that stands for equality, empowerment and justice.” The news for some collided with the constant churn of crises the country has faced — the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 236,000 Americans, the economic recession that accompanied it, gun violence and police killings that have forced a national reckoning on racism. “America can exhale. Decency, civility and democracy won,” said Fred Guttenberg, who became an outspoken opponent of the president after his 14-year-old daughter Jaime was one of 17 slain by a gunman at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. He had been sitting in front of his television since waking up Saturday, waiting for the news. He said it made him “ecstatic.” In Minneapolis, Ella Mitchell, 30, and Pardha Ponugoti, 29, visited the memorial at the street corner where George Floyd died. Ponugoti said it was important to be at the Floyd memorial to mark Biden’s win. “It’s like a reminder of the problems that still exist in our society. Just because Biden is president doesn’t mean that all these systemic issues are fixed.” For many, Nov. 7 at 11:25 a.m., became a moment of such historic magnitude that they say they will forever remember what they were doing, even those engaged in the most mundane weekend activities. Retired teacher and school principal Kay Nicholas, 73, was vacuuming in her home northwest of Detroit when she heard Biden had been declared the winner. “All I could say is ‘thank God,'” she said, choking up. “It has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. It has to do with decency. This country has got integrity and hopefully we can get decency. I think Joe Biden can do it and bring back kindness.” Biden’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon, learned the news when her mother called as she wrapped up a run. Trump was playing golf. In Atlanta, Kristin Felder, 36, found out while she was delivering a Panera food order for DoorDash. “The lady I was delivering it to said ‘Biden won!’ And I said ‘Oh my god!'” she recalled. She started crying, and she cancelled her next delivery to join an impromptu party gathering in midtown Atlanta, where people banged pots and pans, wept together, and toasted champagne. Scott VanderWal, a farmer in Volga, South Dakota, said he heard the news as he was loading hay bales into his barn. Unlike those celebrating in the streets, he said he was disappointed, but held out a glimmer of hope that Trump could still contest the results and find path to victory: “I wouldn’t say it’s totally over until all the legal avenues are exhausted,” he said. More than 100 pro-Trump demonstrators assembled outside Florida’s state Capitol in Tallahassee Saturday afternoon. The crowd toted signs suggesting the election was fraudulent, and they chanted “stop the steal.” Dozens of the president’s backers began gathering, too, from North Dakota to Georgia to the election tabulation center in downtown Phoenix, where counting remains underway. Shortly after the news broke, Jake Angeli yelled, “This election has not been called!” Angeli, a regular at pro-Trump rallies who typically wears a wooly fur hat with horns, shouted. He remained hopeful: “Trump always looks like he’s going to lose. And then he wins,” he said. Chris Marks from Traverse City, Michigan, also expressed distrust in how the votes were counted, suggesting all the votes should be recounted, or that the country should hold another election. Trump has not conceded and has refused to promise a peaceful transfer of power, and many Americans remained anxious about what will happen in the days and weeks ahead. But for Biden supporters at home and abroad, Saturday was a day to celebrate, dance and dream of a less contentious future. Residents of Ballina, Ireland, Biden’s ancestral hometown, had draped the streets in American flags and Biden-Harris banners for days as they awaited the results. Joe Blewitt, a heating and plumbing engineer and a cousin of Biden’s, said the town was ecstatic. “Now he’ll be the President of the United States, they’re delighted, they’re absolutely delighted,” Blewitt said. “To think one of their own is one of the most powerful men in the world.” In Egypt, a 49-year-old civil servant named Abdallah was playing backgammon with friends at a coffee shop in the capital, Cairo, when the television networks aired the news. “The crazy man has gone,” he shouted. “Trump of America was defeated.” And in Kenya, where presidential elections regularly come with fears about possible violence, activist and politician Boniface Mwangi tweeted that Trump’s presidency should be a warning to the world: “It will take longer than Trump’s lifetime for America to heal and recover from what happened this past four years.” ___ Associated Press journalists Anita Snow in Phoenix; Jocelyn Noveck, Marjorie Miller, David Caruso, Tali Arbel, Christina Paciolla in New York City; Bill Barrow and R.J.

When Sackboy: A Big Adventure launches across both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 next week, you will only be able to play with friends in local co-op. Sumo Digital has made the decision to delay online multiplayer functionality, with it instead arriving via a free patch before the end of this year. The same can be said of save transfers from PS4 to PS5 — this functionality won't be available at release. In a quick PlayStation Blog post, design director Ned Waterhouse said: "The team have been working hard to ensure that online is the very best experience it can be for players and we just need a little more time to get it right so you can enjoy it to the fullest with your friends and family." You can still play the game with up to three other people in a local co-op setting, but doing so online will have to wait. This also means that if you start playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure on PS4 and then upgrade to the PS5 before this patch arrives, you will have to start the game over again or simply wait. Were you planning on playing through Sackboy's latest campaign over the internet? Let us know in the comments below.

Microsoft Teams users on desktop will soon be able to push-to-talk as Microsoft is planning to add the feature to its video conferencing and online collaboration software later this year. The software giant recently added the ability for users to add multiple accounts to Teams and the company has continually updated the service to lure users away from rivals such as Zoom. In a recent post in the Microsoft Teams User Feedback Forum, a company spokesperson confirmed that push-to-talk functionality for the service is currently in development, saying: “Thank you for your feedback. This feature is under development and is planned for later this year. We will share an update as soon as one is available.” We've put together a list of the best online collaboration tools around Look your best in video calls with one of the best business webcams This is all the gear you'll need to work from home successfully Until then, Microsoft suggests that users take advantage of the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M to toggle mute on or off while in a call. Microsoft Teams users on Android can already use push-to-talk through the app's Walkie Talkie feature and it looks like the desktop version of the software will offer similar functionality when it's updated later this year. Quoted replies After recently adding the option to allow users to turn off message previews, Microsoft is also preparing to bring another new feature to Teams called quoted replies. Just like with push-to-talk, this feature was also confirmed by a company spokesperson in a post on its Microsoft Teams User Feedback Forum who said that: “Support for replying to a specific message is on the backlog for desktop”. While quoted replies will come to Microsoft Teams' desktop app at a later date, this feature is currently only available on mobile. The quoted replies feature allows users to reply to a specific message so that what they have to say doesn't get lost in the chat itself. While Slack may have been the top workplace chat app before the pandemic and Zoom was the preferred video conferencing service for many users during its early stages, Microsoft has continued to update Teams with new features and capabilities to make it a one stop communication tool for business users and enterprises.
