Zoo is a bomb-defusing map set in a San Francisco Zoo. The map was created by Squad and Yanzi and was first added to CS:GO during Operation Bloodhound in May 2015. The map features several animal exhibits and an indoor aquarium. Fish are the only animals actually found in the map, but players, depending on their location, can hear different animal noises. The map is fairly large and contains many long, narrow, winding pathways. These pathways can be a bit annoying to traverse through, but they do make the map feel unique. At the end of Operation Bloodhound in October 2015, Zoo was removed from the game. However, it was re-added for a short time in 2019. With a great theme and plenty of fans, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Zoo included in Competitive once again. Hopefully there will be more animals to see next time. Originally created by Chris Auty, Aztec is a bomb-defusing map that has been present in several Counter Strike games. The map is set in a rainy Central American archeological site and features long-range sight lines that benefit snipers. Aztec spent many years in the CS:GO Competitive map pool but was removed in late 2017 along with several other classic maps. According to Valve, these maps were less po[CENSORED]r and prevented new and recently updated maps from standing out. After the update, many of these maps remained playable through other game modes, like Deathmatch. Aztec wasn’t as lucky. It is not currently playable in any official game mode. Fans of Aztec can play the similarly themed Ancient, but it’s just not the same. Despite the interesting setting, Ancient is a very plain and safe map. Aztec was imperfect but unique. The rain, setting, verticality, and long sight lines gave it a very distinct feel. Ancient just feels like Dust II in the jungle. Maybe Valve will release an updated version of Aztec someday, but for now, fans will have to wait.

Dell has updated its premium laptop offerings under the XPS series with the latest Intel chipsets. Dell XPS 15 and XPS 17 will now be equipped with Intel's 12th-gen Alder Lake-H processors. With this, the Dell laptops will be available in a total of three new CPU configurations. These will include an option between Intel Core i5-12500H, Core i7-12700H, and Core i9-12900HK. These chips have been clocked at 4.5GHz, 4.7GHz, and 5GHz respectively. The top-end i9-12900HK option is only available on XPS 15 as of now. Other than the new CPUs, Dell's XPS lineup now gets an upgraded DDR5-4800 RAM. Interestingly, this will be configurable up to 64GB of memory. Everything else about the laptops remains the same as before. For those unaware, Dell had launched the XPS 15 and XPS 17 in India back in August last year, at a starting price of Rs 2,23,990. The premium laptops from the house of Dell came with 11th Gen Intel Core i9H processors and featured up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics on the XPS 17. Except for the 12th-gen Intel chips, things remain largely the same with the revised models. The new XPS 15 and XPS 17 still carry a durable, lightweight design, with a 15.6-inch 16:10 display on the XPS 15, which extends to 17-inch on the XPS 17. There are both touchscreen and non-touchscreen options on the two laptops, with a 3840 x 2400 pixels and a 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution respectively. As mentioned, memory onboard the new Dell laptops extends to up to 64GB of DDR5-4800 RAM across two channels. There are also storage options between 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. The XPS laptops support up to 8TB of total storage expansion. Other features on the XPS 15 and XPS 17 include Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and an SD card reader

ON APPLE DEVICES, macOS has iMovie, a simple, free video editor that anyone can use to put together movie projects. But since Microsoft phased out the old Movie Maker app, there hasn't been an equivalent, bundled app for Windows users to take advantage of. Now that's changing. Clipchamp, the video-editing software package Microsoft bought last year, is making its way into Windows 11 as an “inbox app”—in other words, an app that appears when you first install the operating system, such as Notepad. At the time of writing, Clipchamp is only included in the preview build of Windows 11, but it should reach everyone soon. Even before it officially becomes a bundled app, you can find it and install it from the Microsoft Store (search for "Clipchamp" or follow this link). Here we'll introduce you to some of the features and capabilities of Clipchamp. It's not a difficult application to get to grips with, and you might find that it gives you everything you need in terms of video-editing functionality. At the moment, Clipchamp is freemium software: You can use it for no cost, but some options (including high-definition exports) and the majority of the stock content requires a paid subscription. That might change as the program gets wrapped into Windows 11, but for now a premium subscription starts at $9 per month.

There was a time when there was no other option in mobile phones apart from Nokia and then Samsung. It was the lack of trust on the quality of mobile phones introduced by different companies in the market that no one could even imagine of buying cellular phones of any other company including that of China’s or the local ones. However, a great breakthrough had been observed in this regard when QMobile emerged as one of the best smartphone production company in Pakistan, fulfilling all requirements of customers which they dream to have from Samsung but couldn’t buy due to high prices. QMobile gained the trust of customers very fast while settling the brand at a prominent position in the mobile phone market of Pakistan while changing the mindset of the people in a way by convincing them to opt for local smartphone possessing the same quality and features as that of every expensive smartphone. Although there is a wide range of smartphones under the label of QMobile available in the market but with slight changes, new versions keep on making way to the customers. However, not all of them are the best choices to be considered at all times while staying kind to the pocket. So here we have 3 best suggestions for you by QMobile and all in affordable ranges must to be considered: QMobile Rocket Lite It is the new entrant in the market by QMobile and in very less time, it has been graded as an amazing option in the most affordable price. You can buy it at only Rs. 8,599

Fortnite's virtual store has adopted Ukrainian colours Epic Games says it has raised more than $50m (£37m) to aid humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. The Fortnite publisher announced on 21 March it would donate all proceeds from in-game sales, including cosmetic in-game items and virtual currency bought in a shop or online, until 3 April. And Xbox is donating the fee it would usually take on items bought by players in Fortnite. The amount raised so far is greater than that given by some countries. A statement on the Fortnite website said it would send funds "as quickly as we can". "We're not waiting for the actual funds to come in from our platform and payment partners, which can take a while depending on how the transaction was processed. As transactions are reported, we'll log them and send the funds to the humanitarian relief organisations within days."

The alleged AD102 RTX 4000-series PCB presented by Igor's LAB reveals memory configurations with up to 24 GB GDDR6X VRAM, pin layouts featuring the PCIe 5.0 standard, 28-phase voltage supply, and 3-slot or 3.5-slot air cooling solutions, plus possible AIO and water blocks straight from the factory.Up until now Nvidia confirmed through the Hopper announcement that the high-end RTX 4000 GPUs launching in the second half of 2022 will feature a monolithic design that can still be cooled with air-based solutions, plus the TGP for the top-of-the-line models should not be over 700 W. Moore’s Law Is Dead suggested that the TGPs could max out at 600 W, with 450 W typical. More elaborate proof in this regard was recently provided by Igor Wallossek from Igor’s LAB, who managed to obtain schematics for the RTX 4090 / 4080 PCB boards revealing details on memory configuration, pin layout, voltage supply and cooling solution. Before getting into the details, Igor reiterates his belief that the upcoming RTX 3090 Ti cards are some sort of test product for the RTX 4000-series. This is because the RTX 3090 Ti (full GA102 SKU) will be the first card to feature the PCIe 5.0 power connector, which can easily support TGPs of 450 to 600 W. The first detail about the RTX 4000 PCBs revealed by Igor is the pin-compatibility between the GA102 board design and an alleged AD102 (Ada Lovelace) reference design. This is particularly beneficial for Nvidia’s AIB partners, since they could reuse the custom RTX 3090 Ti designs for the RTX 4080 / 4090 cards and therefore save substantial development costs in the process. Power delivery on the AD102 PCB consists of 24 voltage converters for the VRMs and 4 for the VRAM, which ups the total phases from 20 on the RTX 3090 designs to 28. Igor’s sources claim that this particular AD102 PCB is used with a modified GA102 600 W BIOS for internal testing, as the Ada Lovelace RTX 4000 chips have not yet been delivered to board partners. Furthermore, the rumored 600 W TGP appears to be confirmed by Igor when he mentions that AIB partners are required to bundle a 4x8-pin to 12VPWR (12+4) adapter with each card. For reference, the 450 W RTX 3090 Ti includes a 3x8-pin adapter. As far as VRAM is concerned, the AD102 PCB features 12 soldered GDDR6X chips, indicating that the total amount could go up to 24 GB. Versions with 8, 12 and 16 GB are also possible, although 8 is already quite low for a mid-range card these days. Lastly, Igor touches upon the cooling system, citing sources that claim the reference or FE designs will rely on triple-slot solutions, while custom designs from AIB partners could use 3.5-slot solutions. Nvidia is also considering factory-grade AIO compact coolers and water blocks, but not as primary solutions.

Fortnite is one of the most po[CENSORED]r battle royale games with hundreds of millions of players across the globe. However, a very small minority of players sometimes need to fix issues with Fortnite not starting in Windows 11 and 10. For some players, Fortnite might not start at all. Other players have reported the game crashing at startup when they launch it. If Fortnite doesn’t start on your Windows 11 PC, there are various ways you can potentially fix it. Much depends on the specific causes for the issue. These potential resolutions can feasibly resolve a wide variety of Fortnite launch issues. 1. Run Fortnite as an Administrator When Fortnite doesn’t have full admin permissions, it doesn’t have full system access. In which case, configuring that game to run an administrator can potentially fix it not starting. You will need to enable Fortnite to run as an administrator as follows. Click File Explorer on the taskbar. Open the Fortnite installation folder. Then open the FortniteGame\Binaries\Win64 subfolders within the Fortnite folder. Right-click the FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping EXE (Application) file to select the Properties option for it. Click the Compatibility tab, and select the Run as an administrator option there.Select Apply to save the new compatibility settings. Click OK to close the active window. Repeat the above steps to select the Run as administrator option for the FortniteLauncher, FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping-BE, and FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping-EAC EXE files. In addition, it’s recommended that you run Epic Games with admin rights too. You can right-click a shortcut for it and select Run as administrator. To configure Epic Games to always run with admin permissions, however, you’ll need to select the Run as an administrator option from its properties window. 2. Run Fortnite in Compatibility Mode Playing Fortnite in compatibility mode can resolve technical game issues. To do so, open the Compatibility tab for the FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping file in Fortnite’s Win64 folder as outlined for the first method. Then select the Run this program in compatibility mode for checkbox there. Choose Windows 8 or 7 on the drop-down menu, and click the Apply button.

Nokia Mobile renewed their most sold feature phones, Nokia 105 and Nokia 110. The last versions of these devices were announced in 2019, and both devices got the IF design award in 2020. The new versions are also nice looking feature phones, but Nokia Mobile got lazy since there isn’t any difference in design between Nokia 105 and 110. Actually, their hardware is almost completely the same, with the only differences being the camera and polycarbonate body colour options. The phone design is a bit refreshed when comparing the phones with the 2019 versions, but the largest upgrade is the internal FM antenna solution applied to both 105 and 110, which means it is now possible to listen to the radio without the use of a headset. A neat option is a dedicated LED torch on both of the phones. Both phones are coming with preloaded games, including an iconic Nokia game, Snake.The boxing will be bringing a Micro USB Charger, removable battery and a quick start guide, while the basic headset is gone. The phones are bringing the following specs: Nokia 110 Dimensions: 14.3 x 115.2 x 49.9 mm Mass: 72 g Display: 1.77 inches, QQVGA Memory: 4/4MB + 32 GB MicroSD Camera: QVGA Battery: BL-5CB 800 mAh Connectivity: 2G (Mini-SIM), 3.5 mm audio jack, Micro USB, Extra: FM Radio, MP3 player Software: S30+ Colour: Charcoal, Cyan, Rose Gold Nokia 105 Dimensions: 14.3 x 115.2 x 49.9 mm Mass: 70 g

Both phones can be purchased from Samsung India's official website, but the Galaxy A23's 8GB/128GB model is unavailable at the time of writing this. The Samsung Galaxy A13 and Galaxy A23 are basically the same phones with slightly different designs and chipsets. The A13 is powered by the Exynos 850 SoC, whereas the A23 has the Snapdragon 680 chip at the helm.

Microsoft will not object to Activision Blizzard recognising unionisation efforts from its staff. As reported by Axios, Microsoft responded to a letter from Activision staff at Call of Duty studio Raven Software looking to unionise. QA testers at the studio announced their intent to unionise back in January. Their bid continued despite Activision Blizzard missing the deadline to acknowledge their efforts. Following the announcement of Microsoft's $69bn takeover of the publisher, staff sent a letter to CEO Satya Nadella requesting information on the company's involvement in approving or denying unionisation efforts. It additionally asks: "[W]hat conditions, if any, will Microsoft put on the collective bargaining process?" A Microsoft spokesperson responded to Axios, stating: "Microsoft will not stand in the way if Activision Blizzard recognises a union. "Microsoft respects Activision Blizzard employees' right to choose whether to be represented by a labour organisation and we will honour those decisions." The Washington Post also acquired the letter, reporting it denounces the involvement of law firm Reed Smith, which published anti-union material on its website. "I hope that you will agree that this demeaning and insulting approach to employees who are seeking to improve their workplace should not be tolerated," reads the letter.

Intel’s upcoming 12th Gen flagship CPU, the Core i9 12900KS, is already in the hands of users. This indicates that the launch is imminent and if rumors are true, the 12900KS will launch later in March. According to a post at overclocking.com (via Tom’s Hardware), a user by the name of Daginatsuko has already received a retail 12900KS that they purchased prior to the listing being removed. The packing certainly looks well presented, complete with the inclusion of a mock wafer. The post includes a screenshot of the CPU paired with an Asus motherboard. An idle BIOS temperature of 78°C is notable, though perhaps just the result of a bad cooler mount. It's not a leap to suggest that nothing short of a top-end air cooler or AIO will be sufficient to keep this CPU from throttling under an all-core load. We’ll have to wait and see if there will be any overclocking headroom. At a 5.5GHz single-core boost, it would seem as though that’s about the maximum on ambient cooling.

The new, third generation iPhone SE has only just arrived, but already there are some great deals to take advantage of. You might not find much of a saving on the phone’s contract-free price (from £419, Apple.com), but phone networks and retailers are already rolling out some great offers on their pay-monthly contracts. As a quick reminder, the new, 5G-ready iPhone SE landed earlier in March and combines the exterior of the previous iPhone SE (and the iPhone 😎 with the internals and A15 Bionic processor of the very latest iPhone 13. The result is a handset that has a compact size and physical home button (complete with TouchID instead of the thwarted-by-masks FaceID), top-notch performance, and a price that is less than half that of the most expensive iPhones. The 2022 version of the iPhone SE is available in three colour options of midnight (black), starlight (white) and red. Storage options are 64GB, 128GB and 256GB.

Welcome to the next generation of GPUs. During his GTC 2022 keynote on Tuesday morning, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang formally revealed “Hopper,” the graphics architecture powering the company’s next generation of products, and welp, it looks like an absolute monster—at least in data-center form. Hopper’s debut takes shape in the data center-focused Nvidia H100, a beastly chip wielding a whopping 80 million transistors, the first use of next-gen HBM3 memory, and advances in the company’s blazing-fast NVLink interconnect technology. Hopper is “our largest generational leap ever,” Huang proudly declared. Introducing new architectures at GTC is par for the course for Nvidia; Ampere, Volta, and Pascal also stepped into the spotlight there. And just like with those past reveals, while the H100 is heavily specialized for data-center uses, with a tensor core-laden hardware configuration designed to optimize deep-learning tasks, that doesn’t mean we humble PC gamers can’t infer some information from Hopper’s AI-centric reveal, even if the RTX 4080 and its ilk wind up running on a different “Lovelace” architecture like some current rumors suggest.

The Pakistan Day military parade was held at the Parade Ground today to mark Pakistan Day. Visiting Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) dignitaries were also present on the occasion. As social media debates the need for such parades, it is worth recalling the history behind the parade. What is today known as the Pakistan Day was originally not started as a means of muscle flexing and displaying military might. It was once marked as ‘Republic Day’ to honour the Constitution and democratic values. When Pakistan adopted its first constitution on March 23, 1956 and became the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the parade was started to celebrate the end of the dominion status. The event was thus meant to celebrate democracy and the Constitution. For two years, in 1956 and 1957, the country marked 23 March as Republic Day to celebrate the Constitution. But in 1958, the then commander-in-chief General Ayub Khan replaced ‘Republic Day’ with ‘Pakistan Day’, thereby changing the nature of celebrations. The parade was now centred around military might instead of constitution. The military parade that was earlier held on August 14 began to be held on March 23. The reason given was that monsoons were not ideal for military parades. As a result, most of the younger generation today does not know of the true significance of March 23.
