  1. Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro — Google's upcoming flagship smartphones — display specifications have surfaced online, well ahead of the launch of the handsets later this year. The smartphones are tipped to feature the same displays as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that debuted last year. The company teased its next generation handsets at the annual Google I/O developer conference earlier this month and revealed that they will be powered by an updated Tensor SoC, and will run on Android 13 out-of-the-box. According to code in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) spotted by 9to5Google, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be equipped with the same Samsung displays as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, respectively. The display driver for the Pixel 7 which is codenamed Cheetah is tagged C10, while the driver for the Pixel 7 Pro codenamed Panther is tagged P10. Both files reveal the specifications of the upcoming handsets, according to the report. Just like the Pixel 6, the upcoming Pixel 7 will sport a full-HD+ (1,080x2,400 pixels) display with a 90Hz refresh rate, as the code points to the use of Samsung's S6E3FC3 panel. While the specifications of the display remain the same, the display is tipped to be slightly smaller than the Pixel 6 — with height and width lowered by 2mm and 1mm, respectively. Meanwhile the Pixel 7 Pro will be equipped with the same QHD+ (1,440x3,120) pixels display with a 120Hz refresh rate — the same as the Pixel 6 Pro that was launched in 2021, using the same Samsung S6E3HC3 panel, according to Google's driver code. Unlike the Pixel 7, the Pro model will offer the same screen size as its predecessor.The drivers for the Pixel 7 Pro display also suggest that the high-end model could offer users the ability to display content in 1080p mode via a recently spotted setting on Android 13. While this will downgrade the viewing experience on the smartphone, it can help conserve battery — a feature offered on other smartphones with high-resolution displays. Meanwhile, Google is yet to officially reveal the complete specifications of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, ahead of their expected debut later this year.
  2. Intel recently updated the oneAPI Video Processing Library, also known as oneVPL, to version 2022.1. The new update changes Intel's focus on VA-API and Media SDK to the current standard of oneAPI acceleration. Intel changes the focus on support for video acceleration to oneVPL, the open-source specification API, with the newest update to increase reliance on more product lines The latest update supports Intel Arc A series GPUs, Rocky Linux support, and graphics card support for a wider variety of previous-generation GPUs, such as Tiger Lake. Intel oneVPL is described on the company's website as,[...] a programming interface for video decoding, encoding, and processing to build portable media pipelines on CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators. The oneVPL API is used to develop quality, performant video applications that can leverage Intel® hardware accelerators. It provides device discovery and selection in media centric and video analytics workloads, and API primitives for zero-copy buffer sharing. oneVPL is backward compatible with Intel® Media SDK and cross-architecture compatible to ensure optimal execution on current and next generation hardware without source code changes. Now, Intel is capable of supporting Tiger Lake processors and 12th Gen graphics, also known as Arc A series. At the same time, the dispatcher from the oneVPL update can focus on previous Intel Media SDK as far back as eighth-generation graphics hardware — the Broadwell hardware series.On the open-source side, RHEL-based Rocky Linux allocation has received added support. The new Arc A graphics support will open up aid for the next-generation discrete graphics that Intel is manufacturing and providing for new desktops and laptops.

  6. During your Sniper Elite 5 Campaign, you will earn XP points for completing objectives and killing enemies. When you reach enough XP, you will rank one level up and get a Skill Point. These can be spent on the Skills Menu and help you unlock new abilities, improve them and let you carry more items. There are three Skill trees available in Sniper Elite 5, each one focused on a specific area: Combat, Equipment, and Body. Let’s see how they work and what are the best skills to unlock early in the game. How to Unlock New Skills in Sniper Elite 5 To access the Skill tree, you need to pause the Campaign and click on Skills. Alternatively, you can select Loadout and customization on the main menu and click on Campaign Skills. You can also access it before starting a new level. To earn Skill Points, you need to farm XP by completing the main objective, the side missions, and killing enemies. Moreover, each level features at least one Kill List target: eliminating it will reward you with extra XP and help you rank faster. Playing with Invasion Mode enabled also awards you with extra XP. Once you have enough Skill Points, you can spend them on the Skill Menu and unlock the abilities you need. For example, you will be able to use secondary weapons when incapacitated with No Time To Bleed or increase the carry limit for Teller Mines and Schu-Mines with Carry More Traps. Combat Skill Tree Unlocking your Combat skills can be highly beneficial throughout the game, especially if you are playing on Hard difficulty or higher. Depending on your playstyle, you might decide to prioritize this category or leave it aside for the first half of the Campaign and focus on other skills. If you prefer a stealth approach, you will not benefit that much from them. Otherwise, they will come in great handy. Here are the Combat skills you should prioritize early in the game: Back In The Fight: you must unlock it to have access to the others. This ability will let you use a medkit to revive yourself when incapacitated. 1 Skill Point required. Steady Hand: drastically reduces the scope shaking when you take damage. 1 Skill Point required. Equipment Skill Tree If you want to increase the amount of ammo and items you can carry with you during the game, you must focus on your Equipment skill tree. On higher difficulty levels, you won’t find many objects throughout the Campaign, so making use of these skills is essential. Here are the Equipment skills you should prioritize early in the game: Scavenge Weapon Ammo: it is the first skill to unlock. Once activated, you can find and obtain ammo from found weapons. 1 Skill Point required. Extra Item Slot 1: you can add an extra item and carry more objects with you. 1 Skill Point required. Eventually, you can also unlock Extra Item Slot 2 later (it will cost you 2 Skill Points). Rifle Special Ammo: it adds one more box of special ammo for your rifle. 2 Skill Points required. Body Skill Tree The Body skill tree contains several useful abilities for your character. Having the right ones unlocked can save your life many times on the higher difficulties. Here are the Body skills you should prioritize early in the game: Health Boost 1: it adds one extra health segment to your life bar. 1 Skill Point required. You can also unlock Health Boost 2 later (it will cost you 2 Skill Points). Cardio: it reduces the heart rate increase you face when sprinting. It will come in handy if you need to quickly escape from a specific location. 1 Skill Point required. Deep Breath: it reduces the heart rate increase you face when using Empty Lung. A must-have if you play with Empty Lung enabled. 2 Skill Points required. You can adapt our suggestions to your playstyle and unlock other skills, such as Speedy Recovery, to make the health regeneration process start quicker. And if you are new to the Sniper Elite series and need some tips to begin the Campaign with ease, you can read our guide. https://wccftech.com/how-to/sniper-elite-5-how-the-skill-tree-works-and-best-skills-to-unlock/
  7. Realme C30 is reportedly being readied for launch in India. Ahead of the official confirmation, a fresh leak has tipped the phone's colour options as well as RAM and storage details. The upcoming Realme C-series phone is tipped to come in three different colours and two RAM and storage configurations. It could pack 32GB of onboard storage. The Realme C30 is speculated to come as a budget offering. It is said to be announced in June. Although details about its launch are yet to be officially revealed, the Realme C30 may be positioned below the Realme C31 in the Indian market. A report by Mysmartprice suggests the India launch timeline, colour variants, and RAM + storage configurations of Realme C30. As per the report, the upcoming handset will be launched in India next month. It is said to come in three colour options — Bamboo Green, Denim Black, and Lake Blue. Also, the Realme C30 is said to come in two configurations — 2GB RAM + 32GB storage and 3GB RAM + 32GB storage. The smartphone could run on Android Go Edition. However, there is no official word from Realme on it. The upcoming Realme C30 could sit below the Realme C31 launched in March this year. The former is likely to have similar specifications as the Realme C31. The price of Realme C31 starts at Rs. 8,999 for the 3GB + 32GB storage model. It features a 6.5-inch LCD display and is equipped with a 13-megapixel triple rear camera setup. The phone is powered by a Unisoc T612 chipset under the hood, paired with up to 4GB of RAM. It has a 5-megapixel selfie camera. The handset offers up to 64GB of UFS 2.2 storage which is expandable (up to 1 TB) via a microSD card slot, and runs on Android 11-based Realme R UI. It also packs a 5,000mAh battery.
  8. MSI is working on an internal DIY solution known as Project Zero with the aim of making PC Cable management easier and neater. MSI Project Zero Teased, The Answer To Gigabyte's Project Stealth PC DIY Kit? Based on pictures posted by @chi11eddog, it looks like MSI is working on a host of solutions that will fall under its Project Zero PC DIY Kit. The first of these products is a brand new Intel Z690 PCH-powered motherboard which is said to be part of the Unify series lineup. Compared to the existing motherboard, the new offering has virtually zero front-facing connectors. Now as we saw with the Gigabyte's Project Stealth approach, the MSI Project Zero approach looks very similar and rids of all connectors such as power plugs, fan headers, RGB headers, and USB ports & SATA III headers too. It looks like the motherboard will feature those connections on the back of the PCB as showcased in the pictures. There are 6 SATA III ports, a USB front panel header, and a 24-pin ATX power connector, all of which are right-angled facing. The rest of the connectors are positioned on the top side of the PCB as we can see dual 8-pin connectors and triple 4-pin fan headers.Moving the connectors to the back of the board will make cable management far easier & cleaner than having them on the front of the motherboard. You can also see the Diagnostic LED behind a front-PCB cover and both Power/Reset switches below it. Being part of the Unify series would mean that there will be no RGB LEDs on the motherboard Such a motherboard design will be useless in existing PC cases which means that Project Zero is going to extend beyond just a cool motherboard design and MSI will offer its own gaming PC case as a part of the DIY Kit. The motherboard with its all-black aesthetics really does more just to the Stealth naming used by Gigabyte & AORUS for their own custom kit. That along with an MSI MEG Coreliquid S360 cooler makes for a perfect match. Now the question remains if MSI will only work on a motherboard and casing or go beyond that? Well, we will know for sure since Computex 2022 is underway and more details are expected to come soon!
  9. Bungie has released the Destiny 2 The Witch Queen Season of the Haunted trailer, bringing back The Leviathan. After it leaked early, the trailer for the new season was released officially some hours ago. The new season will bring players back to the massive, now corrupted, Cabal space vessel – the Leviathan. The new trailer looks pretty spectacular and going by early reactions, fans are excited by what Bungie has shown. We’ve included the new trailer for the Season of the Haunted down below.“Driven by an insatiable lust for power, Calus seeks the approval of a new master. His once-opulent ship, now derelict and corrupted, has returned to our galaxy—its sights set on the power promised by the Pyramid ship lying dormant on the Moon”, Bungie writes. As the Leviathan forms a connection with the Pyramid, Nightmares of humanity’s past awaken and threaten to torment any who dare intervene. Stare into the abyss and find bravery within the mantle of the reaper and the steel of the scythe.To learn more about The Season of the Haunted, which kicks off later today, please visit Bungie’s official blog right here. Destiny 2 is available globally now for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Stadia. The sequel to 2014’s Destiny was released back in September of 2017. We reviewed the game upon release and later reviewed its expansion as well. Here's what our very own Kai Powell had to say about last year's Beyond Light DLC: "For a Destiny 2 player, picking up Beyond Light is an obvious necessity if you want to continue the adventure of exploring the galaxy under the Traveler's light. With sweeping changes that go so far as to remove half of the destinations and vaulting them for later use, Bungie has done much to streamline the experience for guardians that might otherwise be overwhelmed by the choices and trying to figure out what to grind towards or where to boost their light levels. Unfortunately, what is there for players to loot and shoot is repeated ad nauseam that players may ultimately find themselves bored of the same handfuls of carrots on sticks to guide them along. The competitive PVP is still solid (even with the Stasis 'n Shotguns meta) and PvE strikes and raids still are as engaging as they've always been. I just hope Bungie can illuminate a path towards more engaging content in the seasons to come in Destiny 2: Beyond Light." https://wccftech.com/destiny-2-the-witch-queen-season-of-the-haunted-trailer-leviathan/

  13. Jorge Lorenzo has officially declared his retirement as a MotoGP racer since the end of 2019. Soon, the former world champion will return. Quoted from Tuttomotoriweb.it, Saturday (26/2/2022), Lorenzo is strongly believed to have been offered the task as a commentator by a TV station in Spain, namely DAZN.DAZN MotoGP has launched a teaser video, in which DAZN Director Ernest Riveras calls a former rider to join as a commentator. Lorenzo's name is not explicitly stated. However, from the video it can be seen from some of the references mentioned. In 2021, Lorenzo had tried to become a MotoGP commentator on his personal YouTube channel. The comments given are very interesting, because they are seen from the eyes of a former MotoGP racer who is also a former world champion. However, until now Lorenzo has not provided any comments regarding his alleged role as a racing commentator. All will be known on February 28, 2022. Meanwhile, the inaugural series in Qatar will be held on March 6, 2022. It is not a new thing when former drivers become commentators. Previously, this has been done by several other former racers, such as James Toseland, Randy De Puniet, Colin Edwards, Simon Crafar, Keith Alan Huewen, Alex Criville, Alex De Angelis, and others. https://otomotif.kompas.com/read/2022/02/26/162100615/jorge-lorenzo-akan-kembali-ke-motogp
  14. So far, air pollution is often identified with smoke from motor vehicles and factories. In fact, the problem also exists at home. Concentrations of pollutants can even be two to five times higher than outdoors, as quoted from the BBC, Thursday (10/9/2020). Meanwhile, quoted from the who.int page, Wednesday (11/22/2021), the World Health Organization (WHO) noted that around 3.8 million people per year die from exposure to household air pollution. Of these, 27 percent died from pneumonia, 27 percent ischemic heart disease, 20 percent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), 18 percent from stroke, and 8 percent lung cancer. 1. Room with high humidity The first source of pollution in the house with an alarming impact is a room that has a high humidity level, which is around 75-80 percent. The reason is, not only fungi that thrive in these conditions, but also mites can breed. To note, both organisms are allergens that can cause a number of reactions and discomfort when exposed. Call it, sneezing, coughing, and itching in the upper respiratory system and eyes. In fact, not infrequently trigger shortness of breath. Therefore, make sure the humidity in the room is normal, which is no more than 50 percent. 2. New furniture New furniture can make the interior of the house look fresher than before. Even so, the object holds a hidden danger. Reporting from the www.health.ny.gov page, some furniture, especially those coated with paint, wax, glue, and varnish, can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are volatile chemical compounds that pollute the air in the room. A number of health problems, both short and long term, can arise if the substance is continuously inhaled. Quoted from the lung.org page, exposure to VOCs can irritate the eyes and upper respiratory tract, cause nausea, and damage the central nervous system. In fact, some types of VOCs have carcinogenic or cancer-causing properties. To avoid this impact, you need to pay attention to the installation instructions label when buying new furniture. Usually, manufacturers recommend that the product be aerated outdoors first. 3. Cooking activity Cooking activities, especially those that use solid and biomass fuels, also contribute to indoor air pollution. Moreover, if the residence does not have good air circulation. The fuels in question are kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), biogas, charcoal, and wood. All of these materials emit smoke that contains harmful pollutants when burned, such as carbon monoxide, silica, phenol, and other free radicals. In addition to the use of fuel, cooking methods also affect the air quality in the house. Research published in The Guardian on Sunday (17/2/2019) shows that grilling can release waves of fine particles that make the air inside the house dirtier than the most polluted cities in the world. 4. Garbage burning Burning household waste in the yard is a method that is chosen by many residents of the house. However, this habit is also a source of air pollution in the dwelling. In addition to stinging the eyes and disturbing breathing, a joint study published on the www.health.ny.gov page found that the smoke from burning garbage contains many harmful chemical compounds. For example, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, benzene, styrene, formaldehyde, arsenic, lead, chromium, benzo(a)pyrene, dioxins, furans, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). 5. Home care products Home care products, ranging from cleaners, fragrances, to insect repellents, contain volatile chemical compounds that pollute the air in the dwelling. Mosquito coils, for example, contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). According to research published in the journal NCBI, the pollutants that decompose into the air in one burning mosquito repellent are even equivalent to 50 cigarettes. Carbolic floor and detergent as well. Both of these products contain ammonia and chlorine which are at risk of causing respiratory problems. Air purifier, solution to improve indoor air quality There are various ways to deal with indoor air pollution. One of them, installing an air purifier. As the name suggests, this device functions to purify the air of harmful compounds, such as pollutants, including dust, allergens, viruses, and germs that cause disease. The air purifier works by sucking air, then filtering it clean and then channeling it back into the room. The effectiveness of air purifiers in maintaining indoor air quality has been scientifically proven. Research published in the journal NCBI found that using the device for several hours reduced the concentration of PM 2.5 fine dust particles by up to 57 percent. Not only that, the use of an air purifier also helps minimize the risk of health problems caused by pollution in the home, such as asthma, allergies, and cardiovascular disorders. If you want the maximum in filtering the air in the room, use an air purifier that has a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Quoted from USA Today, Thursday (26/8/2021), the filter can theoretically remove at least 99.97 percent of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and other airborne particles measuring 0.3 microns or more. In Indonesia, air purifiers that are equipped with a HEPA 13 filter are easy to find. One of them, the Polytron Air Purifier. Unlike other similar products, this air purifier from Polytron has six filtering features. The six filters consist of Pre Filter, HEPA 13 Filter, Carbon Filter, UVC Filter, Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO), and ION Generator. The ability of the Polytron Air Purifier to improve air quality in the house is increasing with the embedding of a UV-C Lamp which has a UV-C energy of 11962 uj/cm2. This component is claimed to be able to kill 99.99 percent of the influenza virus, as well as the bacteria that cause smallpox and tuberculosis within one minute In addition to six filtering features and an ultraviolet powered lamp, the Polytron Air Purifier is also equipped with a Replace Filter Indicator. This component will automatically inform the filter replacement time after more than 4,000 hours of use. It's not enough to install an air purifier, you also have to make sure the air circulation in the house runs smoothly so that the quality of the air you breathe is good. To minimize pollutants in the dwelling, try also placing some plants, such as mother-in-law's tongue, aglaonema, Boston fern, chrysanthemum, lilies, or rubber plant. In order for optimal cleanliness, make sure you are diligent in cleaning the house. https://lifestyle.kompas.com/read/2022/02/27/090400620/tak-hanya-di-luar-polusi-udara-juga-terdapat-di-dalam-rumah
  15. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that Germany would send weapons directly to Ukraine. He said Germany would send 1,000 anti-tank guns and 500 Stinger missiles. "Russia's invasion of Ukraine marks a turning point in history. It threatens our entire postwar order," Chancellor Olaf Scholz said as his government approved the shipment of large quantities of lethal weapons to Keiv. "In this situation, it is our duty to support Ukraine to the best of our ability in its defense against the invading army of (Russian President) Vladimir Putin," Scholz said, stressing that Germany was "standing closely by Ukraine's side". In a shift from a longstanding policy of banning arms exports to conflict zones, Berlin opened its Bundeswehr, and pledged to send 1,000 anti-tank guns and 500 "Stinger" class surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine. Germany also finally approved the delivery of 400 anti-tank rocket launchers via the Netherlands to Ukraine on Saturday (26/2/2022). Berlin has also lifted some restrictions on shipments of German-made weapons to conflict zones. This means third countries will be able to send more weapons to Ukraine. In addition to the weapons, 14 armored vehicles will be handed over to Ukraine, and "will serve for personnel protection, possibly for evacuation purposes", a government source said. Up to 10,000 tonnes of fuel will also be delivered via Poland to Ukraine, the source said, adding that "other possible support services are now being examined". Welcoming the decision, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted: "Keep going, Chancellor Olaf Scholz!" At the same time, German ministers said they were working to limit Russia's access to Swift's global interbank payment system in a "targeted" way, which "hit the right people" and avoids additional damage. Germany's three-party coalition government, made up of socialists, liberals and Greens, faces challenges in formulating a coherent response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But there is now a realization that Germany may have to rely not only on trade and diplomacy for its security, but also on military might. Public figures who in the past have expressed sympathy for Moscow have now either kept silent or accused Russia of being wrong. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock tweeted: "Our world is different after Putin's war of aggression. While we are shocked by this violation of international law, we are not helpless. "That is why we will help Ukrainian soldiers fight for their country with anti-tank weapons. and Stinger missiles." Germany was appalled by Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine and demanded their government take tougher action against the Kremlin. https://www.kompas.com/global/read/2022/02/27/083000770/jerman-akhirnya-setuju-kirim-senjata-langsung-ke-ukraina
  16. It has been some time since Samsung announced the Galaxy S22 series and while the base models look a lot similar to Galaxy S21 series there are some new features that the phones have, with one of them being a feature that would remove shadows, reflections, and objects from a picture. Yes, kind of like how you would on a Google Pixel phone. Well, now this feature is rolling out to older Samsung devices including the Galaxy S10 devices. You Can Now Use the Object, Shadow, and Reflection Remover from Galaxy S22 on Older Phones Samsung started rolling the update last night and early morning for some users. Thankfully, the update comes as a part of an update for the Photo Editor rather than a full OS update. So, even if you are running an older device, it is entirely possible to go ahead and get that feature.The feature is currently available as part of the Labs initiative and can be found within the Photo Editor app. You will have to make sure that you have the latest version of the app installed long with the plugins. You can check for the plugins by opening the Photo Editor app and then choosing "About Photo Editor" and tapping Update. You will also need to press the three-dot menu and then Labs. Once you are there, you will need to hit the toggles for Shadow eraser and Reflection eraseer. Then you can go back into the editor, tap the three dot menu again and choose Object eraser option.We are also glad to let you know that aside from the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S21 series of devices, the feature is also availabel on older devices like the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 series along with some mid-range devices like the A52. You should also know that the performance will vary on more affordable devices as the whole process requires powerful machine learning. This means that where you might see some amazing results on devices like the Galaxy S22 and S21 series, it might not be the same on older phones.
  17. CPU Delidding kit manufacturer, RockItCool, has announced its latest Copper IHS kit for Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, claiming up to 15C drop in temperatures. RockItCool's New Copper IHS Kit Claims To Offer 15C Lower Temperatures On Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake Desktop CPUs RockItCool's Copper IHS Kit for Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake Desktop CPUs features a CNC machined design and increases the surface area by 9.5% over the standard IHS. That along with the smoother flat surface allows for maximum contact with the CPU die and the cooler. The highlighted features include: CNC machined to tight tolerances Uses the same relid guide as the stock IHS Surface area increased by 9.5% over stock Smooth and flat surfaces for maximum contact with CPU and cooling solutions. Fits 12th Gen CPUs only. Tested on 12900, 12600 & 12400 NOTE: The Copper IHS is 100% compatible with the EK & Bitspower Monoblock Guide on how to easily remove solder from the CPU Marked to show liquid metal application area to eliminate guessing According to the cooling kit manufacturer, the Copper Kit can deliver improved thermals for Intel's Alder Lake CPUs, dropping temperatures by up to 15C which is very impressive. The main caveat is that you'd have to Delid the CPU using a Delid kit which is not only dangerous but also voids your CPU warranty. RockItCool does provide handy instructions and guide videos for users who plan on delidding their 12th Gen CPUs and using a 3rd part IHS which can be seen below: The RockItCool Copper Cooling kit is available for $32.99 US but you'd also need to purchase the 12th Gen Alder Lake Delid & Relid kit if you plan on installing the new IHS on your Intel chip. The total cost would end up around $93 US which is quite a hefty sum but for enthusiasts & especially overclockers, this isn't that big of a cost if it helps them achieve longer sustained clocks with better temperatures.
  18. Elden Ring features a lot of different weapons that are more or less suited to different playstyles, but they only manage to reach their full potential after they have been reinforced and customized. Armament Reinforcement in Elden Ring has been significantly streamlined over the Dark Souls games, which featured multiple reinforcement item types that could be used on certain types of weapons. In the new game, the only reinforcement items are Smithing Stones, which are used for normal weapons, and Somber Smithing Stones, which are used for special weapons. Normal weapons can be reinforced up to +25, while special weapons can be upgraded up to +10. Both Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones come in different tiers, which are indicated with a number. The higher the weapon reinforcement level, the higher the tier of the smithing stones required for reinforcement. As some of these items are available in limited quantities, it is better to conserve high tiers stones to use them only for your favorite weapons. Below, you will find all the Smithing Stones and Sombering Smithing Stones available in Elden Ring and their uses. Smithing Stone [1] - Reinforce weapons to +5 Smithing Stone [2] - Reinforce weapons to +6 Smithing Stone [3] - Reinforce weapons to +9 Smithing Stone [4] - Reinforce weapons to +12 Smithing Stone [5] - Reinforce weapons to +15 Smithing Stone [6] - Reinforce weapons to +18 Smithing Stone [7] - Reinforce weapons to +21 Smithing Stone [8] - Reinforce weapons to +24 Smithing Stone [9] - Reinforce weapons to +25 Somber Smithing Stone [1] - Reinforce special weapons to +1 Somber Smithing Stone [2] - Reinforce special weapons to +2 Somber Smithing Stone [3] - Reinforce special weapons to +3 Somber Smithing Stone [4] - Reinforce special weapons to +4 Somber Smithing Stone [5] - Reinforce special weapons to +5 Somber Smithing Stone [6] - Reinforce special weapons to +6 Somber Smithing Stone [7] - Reinforce special weapons to +7 Somber Smithing Stone [8] - Reinforce special weapons to +8 Somber Smithing Stone [9] - Reinforce special weapons to +9 Somber Smithing Stone [10] - Reinforce special weapons to +10 Reinforcing weapons is only one of the ways players have to improve them, as the Ashes of War not only allow you to change the Weapon Art associated with any weapon but also to change its Affinity. Before you can alter your weapons with Ashes of War, you will first need to obtain the Whetstone Knife from the Gatefront Ruins. Once you find the Whetstone Knife, Ashes of War can be imbued at Sites of Graces or by a blacksmith's forge. Ashes of War can also be duplicated by a forge by using Lost Ashes of War. Additional whetstones hidden in select locations in the Lands Between will also further expand the Affinity options available at any given time. The Affinities available in Elden Ring are: Standard - Default weapon scaling Heavy - Strength scaling Quality - Strength and Dexterity balanced scaling Keen - Dexterity scaling Magic - Intelligence scaling with split physical and Magic damage type Fire - Split physical and Fire damage type Sacred - Faith scaling with split physical and Holy damage type Lightning - Dexterity scaling with split physical and Lightning damage type Poison - Improved Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane scaling with Poison buildup Cold - Intelligence scaling with Frostbite buildup Blood - Arcane scaling with Bleed buildup Occult - Arcane scaling with undead reviving prevention With the ability to imbue Ashes of War without using items or Runes, it is possible to apply changes to weapons almost on the fly. Make sure to take advantage of these mechanics to adapt your weapons to the enemies you are facing in a certain area and make recovering the Great Runes and becoming the Elden Lord much easier.
  19. This season, Rossi is no longer racing because of retirement. However, Dorna Sports is not worried that the MotoGP audience will decrease. It cannot be denied that Valentino Rossi's fans are very numerous and spread in many countries. However, many of them really like watching MotoGP. Many hope that Rossi will return to MotoGP, be it a wildcard or team manager for the VR46 Racing Team. However, Rossi himself is busy with four-wheel racing. Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta said he always chose to see Rossi because he was a friend. Ezpeleta is also very grateful for what Rossi has done for MotoGP. "He will come to some races, but I know his job is to continue competing. He will continue with the car. I understand it very well," said Ezpeleta, quoted from GPone.com, Wednesday (23/2/2022). Ezpeleta added, VR46 Racing Team is in good hands. This team belongs to Rossi.This season is the first time that VR46 Racing Team will fully step down as a satellite team with two drivers, namely Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi. This team had problems with the main sponsor. Initially, it was predicted that Aramco would fully support it. However, the agreement did not come and Mooney entered at the last moment. "It doesn't bother me. I keep in touch with them, and I know that Valentino's team will be there (in MotoGP), after all," said Ezpeleta. Regarding the declining MotoGP audience due to Rossi's retirement, Ezpeleta also admitted that he was not worried and was sure that there would still be many who participated in the most prestigious motorcycle racing event in the world. "I suspect people will still come and support all the Italian riders who are Valentino's children," said Ezpeleta. https://otomotif.kompas.com/read/2022/02/24/084200015/dorna-sports-tidak-khawatir-penonton-berkurang-karena-rossi-pensiun
  20. Cooking oil is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity in the market. Some shops that still sell cooking oil usually charge high prices or apply certain conditions. This condition is of course difficult for those of us who routinely use cooking oil to cook our daily menus. For Indonesians, not a day goes by without eating fried food. Processed with cooking oil, various foods taste more savory, crunchy and delicious. An air fryer can be a solution when cooking oil is scarce. The use of an air fryer has recently become increasingly po[CENSORED]r because it is considered capable of processing food to be healthier. This cooking utensil does not require oil but can keep food crispy like frying. In addition to its health benefits, it means that the air fryer is also suitable for use when cooking oil is difficult to obtain as it is today. Does that mean it's a good time to buy an air fryer? Mike Le, foof vlogger from the United States assesses that the air fryer is an efficient kitchen equipment that is worth having. This tool makes food cook more evenly and can be used for various types of dishes other than fried foods. other processing factors. For example, if we combine chicken with a layer of breadcrumbs or with grilled vegetables. However, we have to consider the price of the air fryer which is quite expensive if we want to buy it. Now there are various brands available in the market with varying prices. But the price is still much more expensive than we buy cooking oil. In addition, the air fryer also takes up space in our kitchen and requires higher electrical power. Consider the monthly electricity costs that arise when using the air fryer regularly for cooking. We also need to get used to using an air fryer, which is sometimes not as easy as a regular frying pan which is more familiar. But if you are used to it, then frying or installing with an air fryer will be much more efficient than the usual way with cooking oil. An air fryer is suitable if you like it. cooks practically in small portions and has enough space in the kitchen. This tool is also recommended for fans of fried foods without having to bother buying cooking oil which is now rare. put this tool https://lifestyle.kompas.com/read/2022/02/23/085849020/minyak-goreng-langka-apakah-ini-saatnya-beli-air-fryer?page=1
  21. Secretary General of the United Nations (UN Secretary General) Antonio Guterres had made a request to Russian President Vladimir Putin, to stop the war 'in the name of humanity'. "President Putin, in the name of humanity, bring your troops back to Russia," Guterres said, speaking after a last-minute emergency Security Council meeting in Ukraine on Wednesday (2/23/2022), after the Russian leader announced military operations in Ukraine. eastern Ukraine as reported by Reuters.Guterres said Russia's attack on Ukraine was "the saddest moment" of his five-year tenure. He warned "our world is facing a moment of danger" over the crisis. War will cause death and displacement and people will lose hope in the future, Guterres said, adding Russia's actions would harm the global economy. "If the conflict in Ukraine escalates, the world could see a scale and severity of the crisis not seen for years," he said. "It is time to exercise restraint, act logically and de-escalate," Guterres added, stressing there was no room for actions or statements that would further exacerbate the situation."What is clear to me is that this war makes no sense," Guterres said. He stressed that it violates the UN Charter, and if it doesn't stop it will cause a level of suffering that Europe has not faced, at least since the Balkan crisis of the 1990s. Threat of global impact The US ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said the invasion could displace as many as five million people, in addition to the three million he said had been affected by Russian military action in eastern Ukraine. "If Russia continues down this path, it could - in our estimation - create a new refugee crisis, one of the largest facing the world today," he said.In addition, as one of the world's largest suppliers of wheat to developing countries, Russia's military operations "could lead to spikes in food prices and lead to more severe hunger in places like Libya, Yemen and Lebanon." "The tidal wave of suffering from this war is unimaginable," the US diplomat said.Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba pleaded with the United Nations to hold Moscow accountable for what he called its attacks on "core principles of international law." "If Russia does not get a strong, swift and decisive response now, it will mean the complete bankruptcy of the international security system and international institutions, which are tasked with maintaining global security order." "This is a grim scenario, one that will take us back to the darkest times of the 20th century," he said. “We want peace” Kuleba called Russia's claim that it was acting to prevent a military operation planned by Kiev in the Donbas area "absurd". He also urged Russia to withdraw troops from Ukrainian soil. "We Ukrainians want peace and we want to solve all problems through diplomacy," he said.Albania and the United States are drafting an official UN Security Council resolution condemning Russia for its actions regarding Ukraine, diplomats told AFP Wednesday (23/2/2022). The resolution will first be submitted to the 15-member Council, where it is certain to fail because of Russia's veto. It can then be submitted to the full UN General Assembly, where no country has a veto power, but Assembly resolutions are not binding.A similar scenario occurred after Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014; Moscow vetoed the Security Council resolution, but an act was adopted by the Assembly. When Putin announced a special military operation to Russia, all 193 members of the United Nations were present at the General Assembly meeting, with most speaking against Moscow. Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, claimed today's tensions were the result of the 2014 "coup" that toppled the pro-Russian former prime minister, Viktor Yanukovych. He said that since then, the Ukrainian government has carried out a "genocide" in the Donbas. https://www.kompas.com/global/read/2022/02/25/050300370/sekjen-pbb-desak-putin-hentikan-perang-atas-nama-kemanusiaan-peringatkan?page=1

  25. Sooner or later vehicle electrification will continue to spread. Not only for daily vehicles, but also in the field of sports, namely motorcycle racing. In the future, it is believed that MotoGP class races will also be affected by the trend of pure electric technology, aka battery electric vehicle (BEV). Moreover, at this time MotoGP actually already has an electric motorcycle championship called MotoE. Dorna Sport boss, Carmelo Ezpeleta said, the era in which mobility shifts to electric motors is inevitable. However, in the short and medium term MotoGP will continue to use gasoline engines. Currently it will continue to focus on internal combustion engines, with the use of synthetic fuels that are less polluting. In twenty years I still envision a petrol-powered MotoGP. We have an agreement to get synthetic fuel, that is the way forward," he quoted Tuttomotoriweb.it, Wednesday (23/2/2022). As mentioned, Dorna already has a MotoE electric motorcycle championship. So that it currently has a "hybrid" championship between gasoline and electric motors. "We have our electric part. It will be a hybrid championship," said Ezpeleta. https://otomotif.kompas.com/read/2022/02/23/094200515/bos-dorna-sport-bicara-masa-depan-motogp-di-era-motor-listrik
