For the uninitiated, the new directive would force all consumer electronics manufacturers – including Apple – that sell electronic devices must ensure that every new device in the category is fitted with a USB-C port. Such items include but are not limited to phones, tablets, laptops, portable game consoles, portable speakers, and headphones. The only time when a product is exempted from the rule is if the product itself is too small to accommodate a USB-C, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers....
As for who EVGA is blaming, Han is squarely placing the blame on NVIDIA, accusing the GPU brand of being difficult and just being a “bad partner” outright. It should be noted that the two channels merely mentioned the situation but didn’t actually post the full interview. That’s because EVGA had put an embargo on those videos, and there’s still no tentative release date. Instead, GN’s founder Steve Burke simply posted one of Han’s quote on the matter....
Rumours have swirled around the development of Facebook’s Clubhouse clone. Facebook has already been beta testing Hotline, a Q&A-based app that’s quite similar to Clubhouse, but Live Audio Rooms seems to be a separate feature that’s fully integrated within the existing Facebook ecosystem. Before launch, Facebook said it intends to test Live Audio Rooms in Groups, making it available globally for Group users and their communities. Public figures will also have access to the feature, allowing them to host conversations with other public figures, experts, and fans....
The Verge reports that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to announce the change during the company’s annual Connect conference. The event is scheduled to take place on 28 October, but the rebranding announcement could happen earlier. As to what the new name will be, there’s no clear indication as to what it may be yet. The report states that the new name is a closely guarded secret, even from senior leadership people....
Facebook clarifies that these contacts were not shared with anyone and that the social media platform is in the process of deleting them. It will also notify users that are affected by this issue. According to Business Insider, a security researcher first noticed that Facebook was asking some users to enter the password for their emails during the signup process. Once they complied, it will then lead to a popup message that said “importing“, without prompting you for permission....
In general, Fitbit has retained the same design and display as well as majority of features from the original Versa for Versa Lite Edition. Here is a handy table that summarizes the differences between the new model and its slightly higher-end twin: Another thing that differentiates the Versa Lite Edition apart is the fact that it has only one control button as opposed to three buttons on the standard Versa....
But, in a The Hollywood Reporter exclusive, it’s been reported that Warner Bros will not be using the screenplay Ezra Miller co-wrote with comic book writer Grant Morrison, though Miller will still remain as the film’s leading man. Instead, the studio will be hiring Christina Hodson, the scribbler behind Bumblebee and the upcoming DCEU film Birds of Prey. Warner Bros has also found a director and this is where things start to get extra spicy....
Road Transport Department (JPJ) director-general Zailani Hashim revealed last November that there had been a total of 33.05 million vehicles registered since the department was incorporated 75 years ago. However, Liow said this number does not paint an accurate picture as it includes all registrations since then, not the actual number of vehicles active on the road today. JPJ apparently does not practice an “end of life” policy for discarded and inactive vehicles, meaning that a car rusting in the junkyard would still be a registered vehicle....
Business Insider spoke to a number of indie devs, as well as two publishing executives. And the common sentiment among them is that Google wasn’t offering enough incentive to have their games on Stadia. And part of that is on the financial front. One indie dev said that a major consideration is if they will get enough to make what they want, or if they get an exclusivity deal for security....

Equipped with sleek aluminium chassis which has a thickness of only 2cm, customers can choose to equip the new Aero 15 with Samsung AMOLED 4K display. If that’s too much to handle, the company also offers a 240Hz Full HD IGZO panel from Sharp. Regardless of their choice, both of these display panels are individually calibrated to meet X-Rite Pantone standards which clearly showed that the Aero 15 is also targeted at creative professionals as well in addition to gamers....
And that game is God of War. Sure, it’s now available on PC, so it’s not as strong a draw of a game than when it was still a PS4 exclusive. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a great game, at least on the narrative front. Whether you enjoy the combat, or just the general gameplay, is another matter. Also on the list of games PS Plus subscribers can claim for free is the Nickelodeon platform fighter, All-Star Brawl....
Seriously, visually speaking Godzilla: King of the Monsters is absolutely mental and unquestionably gorgeous! Together with cinematographer Lawrence Sher, Dougherty paints more than enough poster worthy shots to cover a billionaire’s mansion and his horse stable. But, is Godzilla: King of the Monsters right for you? For those of you who find great joy in watching giant monsters beating the crap out of each other, my opening two paragraphs have probably already convinced you to buy a ticket....
The new feature, which is officially known as Global Media Controls (GMC), was enabled last week within the Chrome Canary; Google’s four-stage test browser. According to people who have accessed Canary, the feature simply appears as a “Play” icon next to the URL bar. Clicking it opens a larger control panel that allows you to pause, play, or skips a video. Without having to actually view the video in full....
The question, in turn, was likely due to the fact that Epic Games has made Fortnite available outside of the Play Store. As you might already know, consumers don’t need to download the highly popular game through Google Play as per the majority of games out there since Fortnite is available directly from Epic Games’ website for free. Google CEO Sundar Pichai says that the Play Store is something many developers rely on to safely and seamlessly distribute their games....
For starters, the Pixel 3 is equipped with a 5.5-inch Full HD+ OLED display while the Pixel 3 XL comes with 6.3-inch Quad HD+ OLED display. Both devices also feature the flagship-level Qualcomm Snapdragon together with 4GB of RAM. In a rather interesting decision by Google, the company has implemented two cameras on the front of these phones. Both cameras do come with the same 8MP sensors but one of them is equipped with a f/2....
Based on a recent demonstration given by Google, the technology behind the live transcription feature may require a constant internet connection when it officially becomes available. It also says that the new feature will be different from current AI-driven and on-device translation features. As real-time “multilingual transcription” is much more complicated than simply translating written text from one language into another. Further, in its current state, Google says that the feature will not work with an audio file, for now....

He also said that a term sheet laying out the main terms of governance and equity issues will be ready in June.
