Elon Musk

Introduction

Elon Musk has been in the news for the past year for numerous reasons, whether it is his legal tussle with Twitter, becoming its CEO, firing incompetent employees and bringing in work culture, and many more, but now he seems to have something different in mind.

Highlights

  • If Twitter gets removed from the application stores, Elon Musk will make a new smartphone.
  • Twitter CEO said that Twitter would tentatively relaunch the ‘Verified’ service on Friday next week.
  • After the relaunch, all verified accounts will be “manually authenticated before check activates”.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk in Talks for Creating Alternative Smartphones

Elon Musk is a name that brings up many emotions in many people, where some call him the ultimate savior of social media, while others curse him as being the worst thing to have ever happened to Twitter, which is arguably the most popular social media platform we have to day.

Ever since the man acquired Twitter for a whopping $44 billion, it goes without saying that things have changed drastically for both its emEployees and its users, and that too for both better and worse.

The Tesla CEO has made it clear that he doesn’t want to employ lazy-bums in his company and has fired more than 11,000 employees all over the world, which includes 90% of Indians, as he has demanded hardcore work culture from everyone by telling them to work 40 hours a week with high intensity or risk termination.

Musk has now declared that he wants to create alternative smartphones that can give Android and iPhones a run for their money in case Twitter is removed from the application stores.

It all started a few days back when a user accused iPhone and Android of being biased and snooping, whilst suggesting that Musk should produce his own smartphones should Apple and Google boot Twitter from their app stores.

Musk too replied to her that while he hopes that it never comes to that, he will definitely create his own smartphone model if the situation called for it, which invited a slew of replies from different users.

Some said anything that Musk touches will turn into gold, implying that the smartphones Musk produces will become revolutionary, while his detractors openly mocked him saying that he can never hope to compete with tech giants like Apple and Google.

Kaleidoscope Plot

Netflix’s new show “Kaleidoscope” is a non-linear heist drama where viewers can watch the episodes of the show in any order and it will have an effect on how each viewer perceives the ultimate story. It will be a puzzle where Kaleidoscope’s story is something the viewers will have to solve as they watch the show. Sounds interesting, right? Let’s find out more about the show, its premise, cast and other details.

Streaming platforms are overcrowded with crime thrillers with most of the series either drawing parallels from a true story or some already popular crime novels. Many cinephiles have been vocal about the evident fatigue for the genre and even the fans of the crime shows seem to be waiting for something unique to hit the small screens. It appears Netflix truly heard all the chatter and in its attempt to throw a curveball into the crime thriller segment has come up with something new. A non-linear heist series for a unique streaming experience!

Kaleidoscope Plot

Netflix revealed more details about the show during its popular Global Fan Event, Tudum. Detailing out the show premise on Tudum’s blog, Netflix noted the plot, “Spanning 25 years, the show follows a crew of masterful thieves who work to unlock a seemingly unbreakable vault for the biggest payday in history. Before they can get their hands on the cash, they must make it through the world’s most powerful corporate security team and the FBI.”

Show Creator Eric Garcia, while speaking at Tudum revealed, “It’s loosely based on something that might have happened. After Hurricane Sandy, $70 billion worth of bonds got flooded in the basement of the DTCC, which is a large clearing effort that’s owned by a bunch of the big banks. To my mind, I was like, ‘Well, that’s a perfect coverup for a heist!”

Kaleidoscope Cast

Kaleidoscope Plot

Some of the big names will be making an appearance in Kaleidoscope as per the cast reveal during Tudum. The new anthology show will have stars such as Giancarlo Esposito, Rufus Sewell, Paz Vega, and Tati Gabrielle in pivotal roles. The star cast also includes Peter Mark Kendall, Jai Courtney, Rosaline Elbay, Niousha Noor, Soojeong Son, Jordan Mendoza, and Hemky Madera.

Kaleidoscope will have eight episodes with each episode named after various colours like Yellow or Green. Viewers may start watching the show from any episode without following any sequential order to experience their own immersive narrative. Each viewer will eventually watch all episodes but how they perceive the story will depend on what order of episodes they watched.

unique streaming experience, where viewers will enter the crime at different moments in time. Show Executive Producer Russell Fine said, “When you watch Kaleidoscope, all the information is there to be able to connect the dots and know the story.”

If you think that this is something never done before then let us break it for you the streaming platform itself tried something similar way back in 2013. The show Arrested Development also followed a non-linear narrative style and made its comeback for the fourth and fifth seasons on Netflix.

Microsoft May Have Revealed the Release Date of GTA 6

0
GTA 6 Release Date

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) fans should be thrilled as it appears the wait for GTA 6 will be over in 2024. Microsoft may have finally hinted at the release date of the next GTA title, which is going to be the 6th and most awaited edition of the DMA designed popular action adventure game. After Rockstar Games officially announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 was in active development in February 2022, this is probably the second most reliable update regarding the upcoming game. Let’s find out all we know about Microsoft’s hint regarding GTA 6 release.

GTA online community is one of the strongest gaming communities online that have only increased its number of active participants each year. The last edition of the game, GTA 5, was released way back in 2013, but the game has remained one of the highest selling ones throughout this period.

So, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the online GTA community is active and is constantly looking for news updates about the next release. In fact, it was one such gaming community insider on Twitter who first noticed the hint that Microsoft may have subtly left in one of the official documents.

What We Know About GTA 6 Release Date

While addressing his Twitter followers, gaming enthusiast Tom Henderson made a report public with an official Microsoft document that revealed the upcoming GTA title’s release date. The official document was a response filed by Microsoft during the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigation of the infamous Activision Blizzard acquisition deal.

The 111 pages document comprises details about the overall gaming industry, its growth and some of the industry practices and gaming terms. However, the small section of the document that caught GTA fans’ frenzy was the tiny part that detailed when exactly GTA 6 was expected to come out.

GTA 6 Release Date

The relevant portion of the document read, “The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to be released in 2024.” The highlighted portion of the document soon started circulating in the gaming community with every blogger and insider sharing the document.

However, the one thing that many fans may not have noticed is the reference to the hint Microsoft itself provided in the document, which makes the whole release date appears to be just another speculation. Microsoft itself referenced a Tech Radar leak for its expectation behind GTA 6 release.

One of the online gamers was, however, quick to point this out. A Twitter user named Michael through their official handle @LegacyKillaHD tweeted, “Microsoft’s simply making an educated guess. One that makes a lot of sense. GTA 6 probably will be revealed in the near future with an expected release date of sometime in 2024… that may end up getting pushed into 2025 because well this is Rockstar lol.” The user also shared a link to the media report that had already made the guess sometimes back to support his claim.

Nonetheless, even a little chatter around the GTA 6 release has infused life into the online GTA community with fans not shying away from sharing their excitement.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a delight for PC players

0
Marvel’s Spider-Man

The webslinger is back, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales PC is everything you wish it could be.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the most recent game from Sony PlayStation, is another example of how well the company’s policy of porting some of its most popular titles to PC appears to be working. The game examines Miles Morales’ superhuman experiences and was released a few months after Marvel’s Spider-Man on the PC. The narrative also deepens the more personal plot players encounter in the main game. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is widely seen as a victorious expansion, but it also serves as a fantastic entry point for a complete Miles Morales story in the future.

Due to its release two years after Marvel’s Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Miles Morales offers a sharper narrative and superior gameplay. After Peter Parker takes a little vacation, Miles Morales becomes the only vigilante in the city left to fight crime. You take control of Miles at this time. However, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ stories are quite similar in that Miles must learn how to be a superhero while juggling his personal life.

The Venom Punch, one of the new additions, adds a new dimension to the already outstanding fighting system. With blows loaded with bioelectricity, Miles Morales can dispatch opponents. These new skills provide a tried-and-true recipe for extra flair and excitement for players coming from Marvel’s Spider-Man. Players will instantly realise how much Insomniac Games has enhanced the gameplay if they anticipate using the same dull combinations as Marvel’s Spider-Man.

Returning players will like the gameplay changes, but the game’s PC performance shines through. Higher frame rates make it easier to use Miles’ more agile gameplay and new talents. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales feels fantastic, regardless of whether players like to smash up adversaries on a regular basis or simply swing around New York City.

Marvel’s Spider-Man

Miles Morales’ performance in Marvel‘s Spider-Man is quite similar to his predecessor’s. The game is playable on nearly all contemporary PCs, while machines with RTX 30 or later GPUs will provide the best performance. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was tested on an RTX 2080ti, which some may consider obsolete. However, even with slightly older technology, the game played very smoothly at 1440p resolution with ray-tracing enabled.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales routinely performed at 80-92 fps on high settings with ray tracing. However, when the textures were set to “Very High,” the performance suffered slightly. Even with the more demanding settings, Miles Morales of Marvel’s Spider-Man achieved an average frame rate of 70-78 frames per second. Of course, gamers who wish to experience more complex graphics and faster frame rates can alter settings like Depth of Field, motion blur, and other things that may slow the game down. Finally, it is worth noting that with ray tracing enabled, some minor lighting difficulties were noticed. Many of these issues have recently been fixed with a patch. While the patch eliminates the majority of ray tracing-related issues, some remain.

Using an RTX 30 series GPU in conjunction with the most recent CPUs would, of course, improve the gaming experience for people who wish to watch the game on 4K TVs. However, the game may be played with a GTX 950 GPU, but with lower performance. Because the game can only run at 30 frames per second at 720p resolution, playing it on a PC may be a bad idea. However, compatibility with older technology facilitates the game’s interoperability with the Steam Deck. Despite the fact that we were unable to put Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales through its paces on a Steam Deck, we have high hopes for the game. With the default settings, it’s expected to operate at 40 frames per second.

The performance of Miles Morales in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales on the PC demonstrates Nixxes’ ability to transfer games. This particular PC version by Nixxes is the best game to play in 2022. Despite the fact that the PlayStation 5’s stock is rising, I still recommend that gamers play Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales on a PC due to the latter’s obvious performance advantage.

Though Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales isn’t as complete as its predecessor, it does have a more intriguing story. With a clear plot, better gameplay, and superb PC performance, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the finest way to play the game. With superb performance on both old and new technology, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the ultimate way to get lost in a superhero adventure this holiday season.

FIFA World Cup 2022 Hackers’ Scam in Full Swing

FIFA 2022

Introduction

FIFA World Cup 2022 has become embroiled in a massive controversy as there are many reports of hackers selling fake digital currency and permit documents to unsuspecting victims to lure them into a trap.

Highlights

  • The FIFA World Cup is currently underway in Qatar.
  • Threat actors are selling fake Hayya cards.
  • Several Telegram channels were found selling Hayya cards for prices ranging from $50-$150.

FIFA 2022 Besmirched in Qatar

For soccer lovers, FIFA World Cup is no less than a festival event that they treat like a national holiday and cancel all their official and unofficial appointments just so as to sit in front of the television whenever the match is scheduled for the entire duration of the event.

The 2022 FIFA Cup is being hosted by Qatar from November 20 to December 18, 2022 and this will be the 22nd FIFA Cup overall, while the Middle-Eastern nation will be hosting such an event for the first time.

This event is one that all FIFA fans are enjoying to the fullest extent all over the world because it happens once every four years, which is why they don’t want to think about anything else for the duration of the world cup.

As the game is underway in Qatar, there have been many news reports of hackers trying to besmirch the occasion by selling Hayya cards, which is a permit document of sorts, to fans that are willing to pay anything to get one.

For the unversed, everyone needs to have a Hayya card that has to be presented along with the original ticket to enter the stadium and watch the match.

It is a mandatory card that every person attending the FIFA World Cup must possess but there were many Telegram channels and WhatsApp groups that were found selling Hayya cards in the price range of $50 to $150 where buyers had to present ID proof like passport, while Bitcoin was the only mode of payment that was accepted.

FIFA 2022

Threat actors are said to be involved in this process where they are intentionally sharing hacking techniques to users so that they can register for a Hayya card without having a valid FIFA number, for free.

This task has become quite easy for them as crypto.com is one of the official sponsors for FIFA, while Binance Coin has entered into a partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo to promote non-fungible tokens based on Soccer related themes, while threat actors want to piggy-back on the hype so as to sell fake ‘World Cup Coin’ and ‘World Cup Token’ by promoting them as limited edition cryptocurrency.

Conclusion

It is extremely difficult for desperate and gullible users to resist and exercise caution as the offers are quite attractive, which is why users need to restrict their purchases to mobile apps and official websites so as to prevent falling prey to such frauds.

On their part, FIFA sponsored companies have to bolster and enhance their security mechanisms so that they can teach these threat actors a lesson and stay up to date on any potential data threats of this kind.

This is why researchers have advised fans to purchase FIFA tickets and Hayya cards only from official websites and not on Telegram or any other platforms because none can give FIFA services better than the official ones.

A buttonless iPhone is on the way

buttonless iPhone

The next iPhone 15 Pro may have a solid state power and volume button plus a very significant design change.

Whether tech experts believe it or not, Apple has been on the cutting edge of phone design. Many Apple critics will argue that the features or designs offered by Apple are already available on Android phones. This statement might be true to some extent, but that doesn’t mean Apple doesn’t produce good-quality phones. Recently, Apple has been crowned as the fastest 5G mobile device in 10 countries.

Speaking of design, the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro won’t have physical power and volume buttons, but the power and volume buttons will still be there. Apple could start using solid-state buttons on the iPhone starting with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max (Ultra). After that, all iPhones should support the function.

Switching to a buttonless iPhone is one of the last stages in designing the ideal iPhone, despite the fact that the existing power and volume buttons function flawlessly. Since the company’s inception, Apple has endeavoured to create the best iPhone design possible. That would be an iPhone with no buttons or ports, a perfectly symmetrical design, and a full-screen display.

Apple will eventually abandon the USB-C connection. This feature may also be present in the iPhone 15 series. By placing the cameras and sensors beneath the screen, the display notch, whether regular or Dynamic Island, will be eliminated. The SIM card slot will also be eliminated from all iPhones as more carriers implement eSIM-only mobile services, and because there are no water entry points, the perfect iPhone would be waterproof. The iPhone is now waterproof. It will also be excellent at withstanding prolonged immersion in water. Liquids, on the other hand, may enter via gaps in the metal frame for the physical buttons, SIM card, and port.

buttonless iPhone

Furthermore, if holes for the buttons are not necessary, the metal chassis of future iPhones, which may be titanium, might be simpler. The iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods and other apple devices, could all use the same tech that makes the iPhone work without buttons. Apple already uses solid-state button technology on the MacBook, with taptic engines that make it feel like the trackpad is being pressed. But the huge metal button doesn’t move at all. Apple is said to be working on the stylish AR glasses of the future. These might also be better off with solid-state buttons.

Keep in mind that Apple owns patents for iPhones with full-circumference displays. These might benefit from solid-state volume controls. That doesn’t imply that subsequent iPhones will have the same design as the iPhone 15 Pro. Curving screens, after all, might increase the possibility of unintended damage following drops. When the foldable iPhone comes out, it will need a different way to use the buttons. You’ll need to turn on the device and control the volume when it’s folded and when it’s open. If the buttons on the iPhone were solid-state, Apple could move them along the sides depending on whether the phone was open or closed.

All of this is simply an assumption. But the iPhone 15 Pro’s solid-state buttons won’t be a ploy to set it apart from less expensive alternatives. It will serve as a stepping stone for next-generation Apple hardware and a feature that iPhone competitors may incorporate. Till then, we’ll have to wait and see, as Apple has just launched the iPhone 14 series, which is being hailed as the best iPhone ever to come on the market. The iPhone 14 series is currently being lauded by users and tech pundits. It’s also worth mentioning that the ideal iPhone design was supposedly abandoned with the iPhone 13 series, so nobody knows when users will be able to see a buttonless iPhone. Nonetheless, with updates on the newest iPhone 14 series, it seems that the tech giant is on the right path.
