To find out how stupid people really are, the research team littered 297 USB drives around their university’s grounds—in lecture theaters, parking lots, cafes, study areas and what have you. Then, they… waited. On the USB stick were a series of HTML files that were disguised to look like regular old files of notes, documents and photo albums. But if someone inserted a drive into their internet-connected computer and opened the files, the researchers were alerted....

One of the biggest perks of owning the 4K monitor is that the BDM430UC delivers a 60Hz refresh rate, meaning that if you have the right hardware, then you will easily be able to game at 60 frames per second without that irritating visual tearing or screen tearing issues that have been experienced by gamers for so many years. Other display enhancement technologies that you get are Philips’ Smart Uniformity display technology; it corrects inconsistencies in the brightness of the monitor’s backlighting....

The guys belonging to the hacking group Fail0verflow demonstrated Linux on PlayStation 4 at the 32nd Chaos Communication Congress (also known as 32c3) event that had taken place on December 30, 2015. In order to know how the group managed to accomplish such a feat, you will have to pay close attention to the video. Regardless, we will state the details here; the group managed to find some vulnerability in the PlayStation 4 gaming console, as the Linux kernel-based operating system is launched by tapping on the Settings options and then the ‘User’s Guide’....

For those uninitiated, Pokémon Go is a free mobile game that allows people to catch, train and battle their Pokémon ‘in the real world’ by walking outdoors and interacting with other users. Players can also pick up supplies at real-world landmarks that serve as ‘PokéStops’ in the game. The two authors, Mara Faccio and John McConnell of Purdue University, Indiana who have prepared a report titled ‘Death by Pokémon Go’ have blamed the game for “a disproportionate increase in vehicular crashes and associated vehicular damage, personal injuries, and fatalities in the vicinity of locations, called PokéStops, where users can play the game while driving....

In Pokemon Go, eggs aren’t supposed to do anything other than sit in your bag and hatch into a Pokemon when you’ve walked a certain distance. However, according to some news floating online, some hackers have placed a bug in Pokemon Go that is allowing its players to place eggs at gyms instead of a Pokemon. These are unbeatable gyms, where gym leaders are eggs. Eggs have no moves, and no HP....

For those unaware, YggTorrent.ws, which receives more than a million visitors per month, was ranked France’s 38th most visited torrenting website, according to the statistics by Alexa. With a reported 3,500,000 registered members, YggTorrent is the largest French-language sharing platform and also operates its own torrent tracker.

The devices can be found everywhere in New York – in cafes, under benches, in shops, restaurants and bars. “Eavesdropping on the population has revealed many saying, ‘I’m not doing anything wrong so who cares if the NSA tracks what I say and do?’” the group, dubbed “We Are Always Listening,”wrote on its website. The pranksters say that they “don’t seem to mind this monitoring.” “[So] we’re hiding recorders in public places in hopes of gathering information to help win the war on terror....

For the unversed, Raspberry Pi Pico is built on TSMC’s 40nm low-power process and includes two 133MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ cores, 264kB of on-chip SRAM, and the company’s unique programmable I/O subsystem. Now, after having sold nearly two million Pico boards, Raspberry Pi on Thursday announced the successor to Raspberry Pi Pico called the “Pico W” costing $6 for loT applications and projects requiring wireless communication. The new model, Pico W, is basically based on the same hardware but adds 802....

Acknowledging the demand, the Zero has now received its first major hardware upgrade: a camera connector, which is also called the most frequently-demanded missing feature. In a blog post, Raspberry Pi founder Eben Upton said “through dumb luck, the same fine-pitch FPC connector that we use on the Compute Module Development Kit just fits onto the right hand side of the board.” The team was able to close the feature gap between the Zero and bigger Pi boards by moving the surface components a little to the left and rotating the activity LEDs....

According to the company, the Razer Edge 5G, which is developed in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Verizon, is the “world’s first dedicated 5G gaming device.” “The core concept of every product we put out always boils down to one thing, our ‘For Gamers. By Gamers.’ motto,” said Richard Hashim, Head of Razer’s Mobile & Console Division. “With the Razer Edge, we’ve created the ultimate handheld gaming platform. Together with Verizon and Qualcomm, we designed the Razer Edge 5G to be a true gamer device, capable of supporting gamers’ entire catalogs of AAA games or allowing them to stream endlessly online, taking their gaming experience on the go with near-zero latency....

Inspired and named after the Star Wars sci-fi hero Luke Skywalker, the ‘LUKE arm’ will provide amputees with mechanical strength and agility far surpassing anything seen before. “Up to this point, design in prosthetic arms has been limited to incremental changes. We developed the LUKE arm to change the game for amputees — creating an innovative, integrated system that offers greater functionality and independence to our wounded warriors and other amputees,” said Kamen....

This change was initially made official through an updated privacy notice and terms of service that the company released in April 2021. “We want all of our games to be safe and inclusive for everyone who chooses to play them. We know disruptive behavior using our voice chat is a concern for a lot of players, and we’re committed to addressing it more effectively,” Riot Games said in the April 2021 news release....

Now Russian hackers have managed to up the ante by allegedly jacking up the Ruble-Dollar exchange rates for a whole 14 minutes to make handsome profit from the exercise. The hackers used malware to infiltrate a regional Russian bank and manipulate the ruble-dollar exchange rate by more than 15 percent in minutes, according to a cybersecurity firm investigating the attack. According to the researchers hackers used a virus called Corcow Trojan to accomplish their nefarious task....

The Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones don’t stray far from their predecessors, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ and just incremental improvements. The S9 (5.8-inch Quad HD+) and S9+ (6.2-inch Quad HD+) will maintain the same sleek look and feel of the previous models, and come with 18.5:9 aspect ratio screens, curved sides, and glass front and backs. Both the devices come packed with a Snapdragon 845 chipset (or Exynos 9810, depending on your market)....

During a wildfire or urban fire, when hot air rises quickly from the ground, a fire whirl (also known as a fire tornado, firenado, or fire devil) occurs. While the overwhelming event can be extremely dangerous in nature, the University of Maryland researchers believe that the power of this new type of fire whirl can be used for good. “A fire tornado has long been seen as this incredibly scary, destructive thing....

The theoretic concept given by the lead author of the research portrays that a fourth dimension exists where people can move forward and backward in time. Penn State University’s professor Mikael Rechtsman stated that it is not possible to feel the 4D spatial system physically, but they managed to get a quick look of the fourth dimension. This staggering study was result of two quantum hall experiments by the researchers....
