Until You Fall (PC, Oculus Quest [reviewed], PS4) Developer: Schell Games Publisher: Schell Games Released: October 27, 2020 MSRP: $24.99 Games like Robo Recall and Superhot VR have absolutely turned this hobby on its head for me. Having to relearn nearly every single facet of my training since the '80s is a bit insane, as the more intense VR experiences have challenged me in ways no game of the last several decades ever has. For the aforementioned duo above, a certain degree of 360-degree situational awareness is key. Until You Fall toys with that very same concept, but also adds in a degree of physical fitness and stamina. The short of it: Until You Fall is a roguelike built around medieval weapons, in which you need to progress through stages (filled with enemies) until you eventually reach the final boss. It's filled to the brim with "roguelite" elements too, like permanent upgrades that will eventually ease you into overcoming obstacles through sheer force of will. Of course, you can also just play really well and circumvent a lot of that fiddliness. Although there is a story (you're saving the realm), it's mostly in the peripheral with the focus on frenetic hand-to-hand combat. As a knight, you'll start out with a sword in your dominant hand and a dagger in the other, as you block, strike, and dash your way to victory (with as little or as much VR vision training wheels as you'd like, depending on your motion sickness tolerance). Dashing (which doubles as an escape or a dive attack) is governed by a meter, which refills over time. Other than that, your job is to slice and block to remove enemy guard meters: which in turn will open them up for wide slices (the wider the better, damage-wise). This creates an interesting dance where you can't just blindly swing like you're chopping up dinner, as you'll need to stop and carefully position your blades within the block lines to parry. This in turn chips away their meter and creates a nice little rumble feedback effect. It's fun from the tutorial on, but once I really started to dig in and come across some of the minibosses (which required rapid blocking, or actual real-life dodging), I was enthralled. Playing this on a tethered headset is fun, but the freedom of the wireless Oculus Quest is just unreal and adds so much. You can walk or look around unfettered, which is supremely useful when there's multiple enemies at the gates of your visor. Pretty much everything I could think of, developer Schell Games put in. "What if I don't want to block or attack with both weapons?" Well, early on you can buy a gauntlet that doesn't allow blocking with whatever hand you equip it in but provides other bonuses like extra health. "What if I want to swap what weapon is in what hand?" You can do that from the hub between runs. "What if I get super tired and need to take a break?" Saving and quitting will return you back to the same level mid-run. Nearly every quality-of-life upgrade is present in Until You Fall, which just goes to show you how far VR studios have come since the infancy of the medium. It needs all that too, as it can be really tough at first. As I've said many times, learning this game is a far cry from picking up nearly every other traditional project I've played for ages. You need to be in tune with the game's patterns, which require elaborate and swift hand motions. You can't fake it or cheat it, especially as you start to square off against some of the crazier denizens this world throws at you. Even on normal difficulty (called "challenging," one of the three settings), it's very taxing, yet rewarding. I had no idea what to expect jumping into Until You Fall, but I ended up getting a nice series of workouts on top of a pretty thrilling VR combat simulator. If you're looking for the next thing to buy with your shiny new VR device, this is it.

Federal prosecutors in Mexico have arrested a suspect in the killing of nine members of a Mormon community in northern Mexico last year. Three women and six children, all dual US-Mexican citizens, were driving through the Sonoran desert when they were killed in an ambush. Mexican security officials said the man, identified only as Roberto N, was a former police officer. Known as The Mute, he is suspected of being a leader of the La Línea cartel. La Línea is a faction of the Juárez cartel and engages in arms and drug smuggling between northern Chihuahua state and the United States. Many of its members are believed to be former police officers who were "bought off" by the Juárez cartel, switched sides and became "enforcers" for the cartel, protecting drug shipments and attacking rival gangs. Lethal ambush The victims were part of the LeBarón family, a community which broke away from the mainstream Mormon Church and settled in Mexico nearly a century ago. Paradise Lost: The families left behind after the massacre in the desert How a US Mormon family ended up dead in Mexico The Americans killed in the Mexico ambush The three women and their 14 children were travelling on a remote road between the states of Sonora and Chihuahua when their vehicles were shot at by gunmen on 4 November 2019. Eight of the children survived the attack. It is unclear why the families were attacked, but one theory is that they were mistaken by La Línea for members of a rival cartel. Roberto N was captured along with two other men in Nuevo Casa Grandes, a city in Chihuahua state. Monday's arrest was carried out by federal prosecutors who had worked independently of officials at state level to avoid leaks in the case. The three detainees have been transferred to the capital, Mexico City, where they are expected to be charged later on Tuesday. A further two suspects are already in custody in connection with the case.

What is it? Quite simply, the cheapest Volkswagen Golf you’ll find on the UK price list. Yes, we thought after the recent deluge of high-end Mk8 Golf models (the GTI, the R, the GTD and so on) it’s time to bring things back down to earth a bit more. So how much Wolfsburg family hatchback does a smidgen over £23,000 get you these days? Well, you’ll likely be pleased to hear, the days of entry-level motoring have come on quite a distance in the past decade alone, when the cheapest engine and trim options were often found languishing firmly in the ‘one to avoid’ category. Then again, it was possible to get a Golf for under £14k a decade ago, so perhaps that’s to be expected A Golf in entry-level Life trim starts at a full £3500 more than the cheapest version of its platform-sharing sibling, the Seat Leon, while the other prong of the MQB love triangle, the Skoda Octavia, is about £3000 less. A false economy? Actually, no, because the Golf’s kit tally is remarkably extensive for a ‘boggo’ variant - a bit more so than its Spanish and Czech relations. As with those cars, you get a dual-screen layout with digital instruments, but the base central touchscreen is 10.0in (the base Leon’s is 8.25in). You also get multi-colour ambient lighting - there are even puddle lights in the mirrors - adaptive cruise control, automatic LED lights all round with coming-and-leaving-home lighting, lumbar adjustment and keyless start. Indeed, the only real indication that this is the lowest rung in the ladder are the 16in wheels, which look more than a little lost in the Golf’s arches these days. Life trim can be had with a bunch of four-cylinder petrols and diesels. But, sticking to the penny-pinching vibe, we’ve got the 1.0-litre triple here, in base manual, 108bhp form. What's it like? The days of regretting your parsimony as soon as you drive your poverty-spec hatchback off the forecourt are long gone. One glance at the spec tally tells you that, but it doesn’t tell you how grown-up and refined even the cheapest Golf is on the road. Again, let’s quickly wind the clock back 10 years, when the base Golf was lumbered with a naturally aspirated 1.4-litre unit with a pitiful 78bhp and 97lb ft - fine in a small supermini, but pretty asthmatic for a family car, particularly once loaded with kids and the typical gubbins family life dictates you carry. There’s no such issue here. Peak power is best described as just about adequate in the context of today's market, yet you’ll rarely find yourself in a situation where you feel hopelessly under-endowed unless the traffic light grand prix is your favoured pastime. The secret here is the healthy torque delivery typical of a small-capacity turbo motor, with peak twist coming in 2000rpm to ensure that mid-range pace is, while pretty far from ‘meaty’, entirely sufficient for normal cut-and-thrust driving. Engine refinement also plays a part here: engineers have beavered away successfully improving the NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels of three-pots, and the Golf’s unit might be the most unobtrusive yet. There’s little of the characteristic shudder at idle, it’ll roll along with the revs barely above idle with no fuss, and it settles down so much at a cruise that I occasionally found myself sat in third when I thought I was in fifth. That gearbox itself is reasonably slick and tactile, mated to ratios not too languidly spaced for economy - refreshing at this end of the class. That’s not to say it’s thirsty, though: MPG in the high 40s or low 50s is within easy reach beyond city limits. Although we had some bones to pick with the unsettled ride of the new GTI on UK roads, there’s no such issue here. Granted, only Golfs with 148bhp or more benefit from the more capable multi-link rear axle set-up, but even with the torsion beam here, it’s notably more absorbent at lower speeds than the equivalent Leon. We suspect the 16in wheels and chunky tyre sidewalls play a core role here, and the all-speeds suppleness does mean a less direct feel to the steering and more initial body lean. The Leon has the legs in terms of it feeling sharper and more connected to the road surface, though, and a Ford Focus offers a slightly broader dynamic spread between comfort and driver appeal. Inside, the infotainment functions and assist tech are broadly similar to the rest of the range's. That means a dashboard design that, while glossy and attractively minimalist, has traded in a good deal of ergonomic simplicity from the old model. However, you get accustomed to working with it and there’s no denying that the splashes of metal-effect plastic and strips of ambient lighting on the dash and doors make the innards look and feel classier than pretty much any new car at this price point. It’s roomy and versatile, too, but the Octavia excels more in that respect.

Hello Vevo, As I saw this, i think that the problem is with your windows version, if you have an older version of windows, try to make the windowns 10, and if that doesnt work, its the problem with your hardware in your pc or laptop. #Regards

Among the raft of new electric vehicles arriving in the coming months is one based on no less a car than the ’57 Chevy, that much-revered star of road and track. To be built in the UK by Jolly Roger, based in Skegness on the North Sea coast in Lincolnshire, the electrically powered model will bring iconic 1950s American motoring to an emerging audience. Designed to withstand the harshest weather, the new vehicle boasts a tough glassfibre body reinforced with steel and protected by a durable gel coat. The compact body permits only two people of limited stature to occupy the interior, sharing a bench seat. Advanced features include autonomous steering that leaves the occupants free to play an interactive game, fitted as standard. As if you hadn’t guessed, the new car is, of course, a kiddy ride – a fixed, coin-operated sit-on such as you find outside supermarkets and at theme parks. Which means you could forget it and move on to more serious stories, except that the po[CENSORED]rity of the Chevy’s sibling models suggests that toddlers continue to be delighted by cars – a fact that bodes well for the future of our four-wheeled friends. Which is why, one early October day, I find myself on a marathon drive from London to the Jolly Roger factory in Skegness to learn more. Along the way, I’m buoyed by the prospect of coming face to smiley face with vehicles in the company’s line-up, such as Hank’s Hot Dog Van and Hank’s Ice Cream Van. Also Bykero, a kind of sporty Sinclair C1; CBeebies character Bing and his Talkie Taxi; and IX Pod, a futuristic city car that could actually work if only it weren’t immobile. Meanwhile, there are three-seat models City Fun Bus and Eco Freddy, a garbage truck, to relish. Both offer impecunious grown-ups the prospect of three rides for the price of one, except that, kids being kids, the right of each to sit at the front is likely to be vigorously and expensively enforced. And then there’s the shockingly pink, Shopkins-based Melon Car – what the industry calls a cutie car ride. Moving on… Site of the first Butlins holiday camp and of a seafront packed with amusement arcades and kiddy rides, Skegness is the perfect location for Jolly Roger. So I look forward to entering the company’s technicolour reception, replete with gaily coloured rides chiming nerve-jangling catchphrases. But what I find is an entrance that’s worryingly deserted until Watson arrives with the news that most of his staff are still on furlough. Never mind; as he takes me on a Cook’s tour of his factory, it’s clear that, in Covid-free times, Jolly Roger is a thriving concern. Completed and part-completed new rides fill the various departments. In one corner, production manager Roy Balmbra – with 25 years’ service under his belt, one of the firm’s longest-serving employees – remains hard at work producing glassfibre bodies ready for gel coating. Close by, in a room all of its own, is a scale replica of a race car in mid-development. Designed in Poland but to be produced here, the model is intended for older users and will house a video game. Jolly Roger was founded more than 30 years ago but for the past 15 has been owned by self-service machine operator Photo Me. It claims to be the world’s largest manufacturer of kiddy rides, producing 1200 per year, mainly for export to the US, Canada, Australia and the Middle East. New vehicle-based rides cost from around £3500 plus VAT for one of Hank’s vans, rising to £6000 for the International Speedway Carousel, a thrilling three-car ride that any aspiring Lewis Hamilton or Jamie Chadwick would be thrilled to helm. Elsewhere around the plant, used rides await refurbishment. “Our rides can last up to 30 years, so repairing and maintaining them is an important part of our business,” say Watson. “Chinese manufacturers charge lower prices for their rides but can’t make the business work, because they build them to fail and to be thrown away. We’ve survived by building rides our customers can rely on to earn money all year round with minimal maintenance and for a very long time.” One thing bothers me, though. Watson is 60 years older than most of his toddler customers. How does he keep tabs on their changing tastes?

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 have arrived, joining the ranks of the best graphics cards and making some headway into the top positions in our GPU benchmarks hierarchy. Nvidia has had a virtual stranglehold on the GPU market for cards priced $500 or more, going back to at least the GTX 700-series in 2013. That's left AMD to mostly compete in the high-end, mid-range, and budget GPU markets. "No longer!" says Team Red. Big Navi, aka Navi 21, aka RDNA2, has arrived, bringing some impressive performance gains. AMD also finally joins the ray tracing fray, both with its PC desktop graphics cards and the next-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles. How do AMD's latest GPUs stack up to the competition, and could this be AMD's GPU equivalent of the Ryzen debut of 2017? That's what we're here to find out. We've previously discussed many aspects of today's launch, including details of the RDNA2 architecture, the GPU specifications, features, and more. Now, it's time to take all the theoretical aspects and lay some rubber on the track. If you want to know more about the finer details of RDNA2, we'll cover that as well. If you're just here for the benchmarks, skip down a few screens because, hell yeah, do we have some benchmarks. We've got our standard testbed using an 'ancient' Core i9-9900K CPU, but we wanted something a bit more for the fastest graphics cards on the planet. We've added more benchmarks on both Core i9-10900K and Ryzen 9 5900X. With the arrival of Zen 3, running AMD GPUs with AMD CPUs finally means no compromises. The large cache also helps to reduce power consumption, which all ties into AMD's targeted 50 percent performance per Watt improvements. This doesn't mean power requirements stayed the same — RX 6800 has a slightly higher TBP (Total Board Power) than the RX 5700 XT, and the 6800 XT and upcoming 6900 XT are back at 300W (like the Vega 64). However, AMD still comes in at a lower power level than Nvidia's competing GPUs, which is a bit of a change of pace from previous generation architectures. It's not entirely clear how AMD's Ray Accelerators stack up against Nvidia's RT cores. Much like Nvidia, AMD is putting one Ray Accelerator into each CU. (It seems we're missing an acronym. Should we call the ray accelerators RA? The sun god, casting down rays! Sorry, been up all night, getting a bit loopy here...) The thing is, Nvidia is on its second-gen RT cores that are supposed to be around 1.7X as fast as its first-gen RT cores. AMD's Ray Accelerators are supposedly 10 times as fast as doing the RT calculations via shader hardware, which is similar to what Nvidia said with its Turing RT cores. In practice, it looks as though Nvidia will maintain a lead in ray tracing performance. That doesn't even get into the whole DLSS and Tensor core discussion. AMD's RDNA2 chips can do FP16 via shaders, but they're still a far cry from the computational throughput of Tensor cores. That may or may not matter, as perhaps the FP16 throughput is enough for real-time inference to do something akin to DLSS. AMD has talked about FidelityFX Super Resolution, which it's working on with Microsoft, but it's not available yet, and of course, no games are shipping with it yet either. Meanwhile, DLSS is in a couple of dozen games now, and it's also in Unreal Engine, which means uptake of DLSS could explode over the coming year When AMD fans started talking about "Big Navi" as far back as last year, this is pretty much what they hoped to see. AMD has just about doubled down on every important aspect of its architecture, plus adding in a huge amount of L3 cache and Ray Accelerators to handle ray tracing ray/triangle intersection calculations. Clock speeds are also higher, and — spoiler alert! — the 6800 series cards actually exceed the Game Clock and can even go past the Boost Clock in some cases. Memory capacity has doubled, ROPs have doubled, TFLOPS has more than doubled, and the die size is also more than double. Support for ray tracing is probably the most visible new feature, but RDNA2 also supports Variable Rate Shading (VRS), mesh shaders, and everything else that's part of the DirectX 12 Ultimate spec. There are other tweaks to the architecture, like support for 8K AV1 decode and 8K HEVC encode. But a lot of the underlying changes don't show up as an easily digestible number. For example, AMD says it reworked much of the architecture to focus on a high speed design. That's where the greater than 2GHz clocks come from, but those aren't just fantasy numbers. Playing around with overclocking a bit — and the software to do this is still missing, so we had to stick with AMD's built-in overclocking tools — we actually hit clocks of over 2.5GHz. Yeah. I saw the supposed leaks before the launch claiming 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz and thought, "There's no way." I was wrong. AMD's cache hierarchy is arguably one of the biggest changes. Besides a shared 1MB L1 cache for each cluster of 20 dual-CUs, there's a 4MB L2 cache and a whopping 128MB L3 cache that AMD calls the Infinity Cache. It also ties into the Infinity Fabric, but fundamentally, it helps optimize memory access latency and improve the effective bandwidth. Thanks to the 128MB cache, the framebuffer mostly ends up being cached, which drastically cuts down memory access. AMD says the effective bandwidth of the GDDR6 memory ends up being 119 percent higher than what the raw bandwidth would suggest.

Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge (Oculus [reviewed with an Oculus Quest 2]) Developer: ILMxLAB Publisher: Disney Released: November 19, 2020 MSRP: $24.99 This brand new VR romp from Vader Immortal studio ILMxLAB is a not-so-subtle mainstream introduction for Batuu: the planet setting of Disney's new theme park locales. You'll play a droid technician who gets unwittingly entangled in a smuggling scheme, while characters voiced by Bobby Moynihan and Matthew Wood enter and exit the stage around you in a rapid-fire fashion. It's a first-person shooter by trade, complete with options for comfort VR teleporting or natural locomotion; as well as the "equipment is on your chest and at your sides" VR staple inventory management. At this point, a lot of these VR mechanics are expected and on auto-pilot. If you want a gun you can grab your holster, while your tools (like the door/chest-opening multi-tool) are on the front of your person. There's just enough item diversity to necessitate a pouch to hold things in without having everything get out of hand. Outside of a few collision issues when grabbing my gun from a holster, everything works as it should. "Rapid-fire" describes a lot of Tales from the Galaxy's Edge actually, as you're going to be moving from place to place, chucking disposable upgrades and weapons quite a bit. It's refreshing in a way that things move so quickly and don't feel super linear, but after about an hour or so you'll have seen everything there is to see. Even after picking up a jetpack and discovering the hover ability, you won't be able to stray too far from the limitations of the sandboxes you're given. It's all mostly fine. The subplot involving the aforementioned conflict, which ends up vaguely having to do with the First Order (read: the Empire redux villain faction from the new film trilogy), is fine. The shooting mechanics are fine; pretty fun even when the AI is putting up a fight. But there isn't enough of a storytelling push to really center you to this world, nor are the gameplay mechanics advanced enough to push you to improve your tact. The other component of Tales from the Galaxy's Edge is the nostalgia side of the coin. The big draw, in theory, is the multi-chapter tale set during the High Republic era past, where Jedi roamed the universe. Don't get too excited though: only the first part is out in time for the launch of the game and it's roughly 15 minutes long. While it is enjoyable (as is the brief, but appropriate appearance of Master Yoda), it mostly functions as a tech demo of sorts, only offering short jaunts of lightsaber and force combat. To be clear, there's no open world to explore here, and the inventory system from the core Batuu adventure is out. I think there was room here to expand upon the actual "tales" section here, as the framework of having the main game's barkeep explain them to you during a drink is clever. As-is, it just feels way too disjointed: like something to put in a trailer to get fans going. As Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge continues to evolve, it could get more interesting. Right now, it feels like a decent early VR title that was merely expanded upon. That's not necessarily a bad thing! I just wish several aspects of it were more fleshed out. It's still more captivating than the recent trilogy. Sorry I couldnt find the system requirements for it.

Given that it has been touted as the future of the fast car by more than a few industry commentators, it’s fair to say the formula of the mid-engined, four-wheel-drive hybrid supercar has yet to gain the traction that might be expected, considering how long it has been around. Leaving aside limited-edition models like the Porsche 918 Spyder, the first was the BMW i8, which limped off sale a few months ago, six years after it appeared to represent the brave new world. I drove one for a year and loved every minute, but the market didn’t concur. Nor does it appear enamoured with the only other hybrid supercar there has been since (at least until the Ferrari SF90 Stradale arrives in the UK). That car is the Honda NSX. It went on sale here at the end of 2016 and, according to DVLA data, just 79 had been taxed a year later. Today the figure stands at 117, which equates to fewer than 30 cars per year. The truth, or at least part of it, is that it’s not good enough just to have the right idea; it has to be introduced at the right time, too. I will go to my grave convinced that the i8 was one of the most visionary mass-produced cars. But just as De Havilland’s Comet pioneered commercial jet aviation only for Boeing to steal its thunder (and profits) with the 707, so too will it be for others to learn from BMW’s courage in attempting to blaze a genuinely new trail. The problem is the concept is fundamentally flawed, and you only need look at the NSX to know it. Despite the fact that this car is a closed-circuit hybrid rather than a plug-in hybrid, which saves weight and space, it’s still heavy and not in the least spacious. Interior room is just adequate for my 6ft 3in frame, but the boot is sufficiently tiny to challenge any notion of touring. And it weighs 1770kg, which is plenty. Put another way, this strictly two-seat, decidedly luggage-light supercar weighs the same as the BMW 520d Touring and 300kg more than its closest rival, the McLaren 570S. So while it provides 324bhp per tonne, the 10bhp less potent V8 car has 388bhp per tonne – a difference of night-and-day proportion. What’s that weight buying you? Traction, for one, thanks to the NSX’s front electric motors, but its 0-62mph time of 3.3sec is actually 0.1sec off that of the 570S, so it seems there’s not much to gain there. And because you can’t plug it in, it needs its engine to fire up, so you will still wake your neighbours; and while it can travel on electricity alone, it’s only for a mile or two if you’re very careful, which seems pretty pointless. And it’s not as if your tax bill is going to fall through the floor, either, because the NSX still officially produces 242g/km of CO2. However, there’s something else: an electrically driven front axle also creates the opportunity for torque to be used to make the NSX corner as well as accelerate, because it can not only slow an inside wheel but also accelerate an outer one the moment impending understeer is sensed. This all sounds very clever but rather sterile and, to be honest, when I first drove the NSX three years ago, I was none too impressed by it. But although a recent mid-life refresh has left the car all but unchanged visually, Honda has been hard at work mitigating what it must have known from the start were the issues stemming from its considerable mass. Hence it comes with new anti-roll bars and suspension bushes, redesigned rear wheel hubs and revised settings for the dampers, power steering, transmission and four-wheel drive. Continental even developed a brand new Conti Sport Contact 6 tyre for this car alone. The result is a considerable 2.0sec improvement in lap time at Suzuka. But this is no track car. Of rather more importance is the fact that the NSX is now far more composed on the road, too. And there’s much to enjoy here. All those who say a twin-turbocharged V6 can only sound dull should listen to this. Indeed, it makes a far nicer noise than the flat-plane-crank V8s used by McLaren and Ferrari. It’s more than fast enough for all save pub braggers, and it has that ability to smooth out every bump on the road without compromising primary body control that only cars with very clever dampers programmed by even cleverer engineers manage. I’d still prefer a bit more bite from the ’box in Sport Plus mode and perhaps a touch more brake feel, but these are more observations than complaints.

PUNCHDOWN # from prison - Eliminacje. slap competition 2020

US President-elect Joe Biden's victory in Georgia has been confirmed by a recount, as legal efforts by Donald Trump's allies to challenge his defeat were dismissed in three states. The Democrat beat his Republican rival in Georgia by 12,284 votes, according to the audit required by state law. Georgia's top election official said on Friday he was disappointed that his party lost but that "number don't lie". Mr Biden is set to take office in January as the 46th US president. Mr Biden had said Mr Trump knew he was not going to win and had shown "incredible irresponsibility" by not conceding. Mr Biden's victory margin in the public vote overall stands at more than 5.9 million. His victory in the US Electoral College system, which determines who becomes president, is projected to be 306 to 232 - far above the 270 he needs to win. Melania Trump's hometown hopes its fame will last What is the electoral college? Mr Trump has so far refused to concede and has made allegations of widespread electoral fraud, without providing any evidence. What happened in Georgia? On Thursday, Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger - who oversees the election process - said the hand audit of ballots had not altered Mr Biden's victory in the state. "Georgia's historic first statewide audit reaffirmed that the state's new secure paper ballot voting system accurately counted and reported results," Mr Raffensberger, a Republican, said in a statement. "This is a credit to the hard work of our county and local elections officials who moved quickly to undertake and complete such a momentous task in a short period of time." On Friday, the self-proclaimed Trump supporter went on to say: "Like other Republicans. I'm disappointed, our candidate didn't win Georgia's electoral votes. "I live by the motto that numbers don't lie. As secretary of state, I believe that the numbers that we have presented today are correct." The Democrats' victory is their first in a presidential race in Georgia since Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. The recount found the error rate was no greater than 0.73% in any county and Mr Biden's margin of victory over Mr Trump remained at under 0.5%. The results will be certified on Friday. Trump campaign senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis said the audit had gone "exactly as we expected" because, she said without evidence, the state had recounted illegal ballots. But Gabriel Sterling, a Republican who serves as Georgia's voting system implementation manager, told CNN on Thursday: "One of the big complaints is these machines somehow flipped votes or changed votes or did stuff. They didn't, at least not in Georgia. We proved it." During the audit this week, nearly 6,000 untallied votes were found - paring back Mr Biden's lead slightly - but they were the result of human error and not fraud, Mr Sterling has said. Officials in Floyd County have fired their election manager over the matter, local media reported on Thursday. What did Mr Biden say? He was speaking after a virtual meeting with governors, including Democrats and Republicans, about the coronavirus crisis. Asked about Mr Trump's lack of concession, Mr Biden said the president was sending "incredibly damaging messages... to the rest of the world about how democracy functions" and that he would be remembered "as being one of the most irresponsible presidents in American history". "It's hard to fathom how this man thinks," he continued, adding: "It's just outrageous what he's doing." Of the election result, the Democratic president-elect - who is due to take office in January - said: "The vast majority of people believe it's legitimate." Republican Senator Mitt Romney later echoed Mr Biden in a tweet. "Having failed to make even a plausible case of widespread fraud or conspiracy before any court of law, the President has now resorted to overt pressure on state and local officials to subvert the will of the people and overturn the election," he wrote. "It is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting American President." What of the legal challenges? In a matter of hours on Thursday, Mr Trump's allies were dealt legal setbacks in Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania. Republicans lost their final lawsuit in Georgia as a court rejected their effort to block the results' certification, which is due to happen on Friday. The judge who dismissed the case was appointed by Mr Trump last year. In Arizona, a judge rejected a lawsuit filed last week by the state Republican Party seeking a new audit of ballots in Maricopa County, home to Phoenix - the state capital and largest city. In Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign lost their bid in state court to throw out more than 2,000 postal ballots. At a Thursday briefing, Mr Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani continued to lay out unsubstantiated conspiracy theories and accusations of electoral fraud. He railed against the reporting of his team's legal challenges, saying the media had shown an "irrational pathological hatred for the president". What legal challenges is Trump planning? Mr Giuliani also said the campaign was withdrawing its last remaining lawsuit in Michigan. He said it had achieved its aim of stopping the certification of the result in one key county. However, the vice-chairman of Wayne County's canvassing board said an attempt by its two Republican members to rescind their earlier certification of the result was invalid, and the certification was binding. One of the Republicans said Mr Trump had called her personally after the vote had been certified "to make sure I was safe". Mr Biden won the county by a huge margin, according to unofficial results, and prevailed in Michigan by about 146,000 votes. What could Trump's next move be? One possibility that US media are speculating on is that he will try to get Republican-friendly state legislatures in key states to override the choice of voters and instead select members of the US Electoral College who would be favourable to the president. Mr Trump has invited Michigan's Republican lawmakers to the White House on Friday, hinting at a possible change in tactics.

Acer's Swift line has always been about being light as a feather — or as close to it as you can get. The Swift 5 ($999.99 to start, $1,299.99 as tested) is just over two pounds and extremely thin. Here in late 2020, Acer has upgraded it with Intel's latest 11th Gen processors, like several of the best ultrabooks, as well as adding a new coat of paint. It's a mix of green and bronze that stands out, but in a classy fashion. But some habits die hard. Despite this being one of Acer's more premium productivity laptops, it's still saturated in bloatware that you'll want to spend time deleting or adjusting when you first start with the notebook. And while the chassis is light, it's not without some flex. The Acer Swift 5's mix of magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminum feels a bit more like plastic than metal, but it does mean one big thing: This laptop is seriously light. It tips the scales at just 2.3 pounds, which is half a pound less than some competing notebooks. Acer went with a new color this year, called "mist green," which is a mossy green that looks a little bit like it came from a swatch for military fatigue fabrics. There are hints of copper, which give it a bit of an old-money look. That's found on the hinge of the unit and in the Acer logo on the otherwise spotless lid. Acer Swift 5 (Late 2020) at Amazon for $1,299.99 The same themes carry through when you unfold the device. The 14-inch display has thin bezels, approaching Dell XPS 13 territory, but it's marred only by small branding that reads "Antimicrobial Corning®Gorilla®Glass" at the top left-hand corner. The same green color permeates the deck, with copper color labeling each of the keycaps. Below the arrow keys, there is a small fingerprint reader. The laptop's left side is where you'll find the power jack, HDMI output, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port and Thunderbolt 4 / USB Type-C. I really wish Acer would have added a second USB-C port for charging instead of the barrel jack, as that's really the way of the future. The right side has a Kensington lock slot, another USB Type-A port and a 3.5 mm headphone/mic jack. Acer's laptop is just 2.3 pounds and measures 12.6 x 8.2 x 0.6 inches. That's half a pound lighter than the Dell XPS 13 (2.8 pounds, 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches), though the Asus ZenBook 13 (2.5 pounds, 11.9 x 8 x 0.5 inches) is only a tad heavier and is smaller in some dimensions. But those machines both have slightly more premium feels as the trade-off, with aluminum and, on the XPS 13, carbon fiber. Productivity Performance on the Acer Swift 5 We reviewed the Acer Swift 5 outfitted with an Intel Core i7-1165G7, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD. It outperformed the competition with similar specs: Both the Dell XPS 13 and ZenBook 13 we tested had 16GB of RAM. The ZenBook 13 also had a 1TB SSD, though the XPS 13 had a capacity of 512GB. The Swift 5 copied a 5GB file at a rate of 1,140.6 MBps, again surpassing both the XPS 13 (806.2 MBPs) and the ZenBook 13 (966.8 MBps). Where the Swift 5 surprised most was on Handbrake, transcoding a 4K file to 1080p in 13 minutes and 55 seconds, beating both the XPS 13 and ZenBook 13 by several minutes. We also put the Swift 5 in our Cinebench stress test. This is our first time running Cinebench R23 for this test. Typically, R23 runs it multiple times to get a score. We've used our script to keep it the same as R20 and R15 tests before it, where it runs 20 times and provides a score for each run. For the first run, the Swift 5 earned a score of 5,426.9. And then, as is typical, it dropped off to scores in the 4,300's, where it was relatively steady. The CPU ran at an average speed of 2.7 GHz with an average temperature of 67.2 degrees Celsius (152.96 degrees Fahrenheit). Display on the Acer Swift 5 The 14-inch, 1920 x 1080 touchscreen display on the Swift 5 is bright and is great at reproducing colors. Others, you'll soon learn, are even brighter, but this does a good job in that department. One video I watched on the screen was the trailer for Wonder Woman 1984. Diana's golden lasso of truth pierced a dark sky, and the reds and blues in her costume looked great. The only issue was that some scenes, particularly those in bright daylight, came across on the warm side.

Today, GeForce Now became the first publicly available cloud gaming service to officially support iOS devices, but there’s a catch - you’ll only be able to play through the Safari browser, rather than a dedicated app. That’s also the solution that Microsoft will be using for iOS support of its xCloud service sometime next year, and Google announced today that it’s planning a similar iOS web app expansion for Stadia in the coming weeks. It’s currently in beta, but starting today, you can now access GeForce Now from the iPhone and iPad versions of the Safari browser. There is one limitation, though. For now, you’ll have to use one of the service's supported controllers, like the Xbox One controller or the mobile-first Razer Kishi, since "keyboard and mouse-only games aren't available." But Nvidia is otherwise promising full featured game streaming, barring potential beta issues. This includes RTX ray-tracing and Nvidia DLSS super-sampling. This marks a first for cloud gaming on iOS. The App Store currently bans game streaming services like GeForce Now, xCloud and Stadia from the app store unless they submit every game on their platforms for app store review and subject them to Apple’s 30% app store commission. Customers would also have to download each game individually, even if they’re played off the cloud. Of course, not every company’s willing to jump through those hoops. Nvidia’s solution isn’t exactly novel, but it is among the first to offer it to users. Amazon launched Luna, which is currently in early trials, with a web app as well. Earlier this October, Business Insider also reported that Microsoft told employees to expect xCloud to wind up on iOS via browser within 2021, and Google announced today that it’s also planning to bring Stadia to iOS as a web app in the “coming weeks.” The elephant in the room here is Fortnite, which Apple pulled from iOS earlier this August after Epic introduced an in-app payment system that bypassed the typical App Store commission. Epic is now in a legal battle with Apple over the App Store that might change how games and services like GeForce Now release on iOS even further down the line, but for now, Nvidia’s workaround means the po[CENSORED]r shooter will be coming back to iOS soon. And, unlike the rest of GeForce Now’s iOS-compatible catalog, you’ll be able to play it without a controller. “Alongside the amazing team at Epic Games, we’re working to enable a touch-friendly version of Fortnite,” Nvidia said in its GeForce Now on Safari announcement post. “Members can look for the game on iOS Safari soon." GeForce Now on Safari actually isn’t the first time Nvidia’s brought it’s cloud gaming solution to browsers, either. The service is also currently available on Chrome, though only if you’re using a Chromebook. None of this is ideal, nor is hardware really the issue here so much as App Store rules. But with Nvidia saying that 10% of its user base currently plays on Chromebook, maybe it’s a sign that we can expect services like this to expand to even more devices and distribution methods in the near future.
