The appeal was made to challenge a federal court’s preliminary injunction that currently prevents the US Department of Commerce from making the act of supporting TikTok’s network traffic on US infrastructure illegal. For context, the Trump administration signed off on two executive orders back in August, aimed at two Chinese apps: ByteDance’s TikTok and Tencent’s WeChat. Just as it is with Huawei and ZTE, the executive orders prevented the apps’ parent companies from operating within the US on the grounds of national security and cybersecurity....

Security researcher Jane Manchun Wong also found a purchasing screen for Coins, detailing that the currency will allow you to support creators. From the looks of it, it seems awfully similar to the function served by Twitter’s existing Tip Jar feature, which lets users tip creators with cash or cryptocurrency. Wong found that the purchase of Coins will be done through Stripe, with Owji confirming that the feature seems to have no connection to crypto as of now....

VGC reports that the US ESRB has rated the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection will have “No Interactive Elements”. Which includes online features, and the ability for players to interact with one another. No word on why this component is being done, though one can imagine that, while fun, the modes do feel like they were tacked on to cross out a few items off a checklist. After all, the appeal of the Uncharted series was always its compelling story....

We have since reached out to TM to find out the reason behind the switch and if it going to be permanent or temporary....

Charlie INTEL reports that images dug from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War have made their way online. These consists of artwork showcasing the logo and key art of the next game, Call of Duty: Vanguard. Some of these have been scrubbed from the internet, thanks to Activision issuing copyright strikes.

Rumours of Nintendo working on an alleged “Switch Pro” model have been circulating around for quite some time now. The most recent of such was reported back in January, where dataminers discovered information regarding the alleged Pro’s potential hardware specifications and features within the console’s firmware update that was released at that time. It is believed that the upgraded console will feature a larger 7-inch 720p OLED display and a tweaked NVIDIA Tegra X1 chip....

To be clear, the CAD files details the external shell of the Deck, and not for the internals of the console. As it stands, the Deck is expected to not only run on SteamOS, but it can also be tinkered with to multi-boot with other Linux distro, plus Microsoft’s Windows 10 and Windows 11. Having said all that, it does feel a bit odd that Valve would make the CAD files so readily available, especially since it is discouraging owners and enthusiasts from trying to conduct their own self-repairs on it, once the console reaches their hands....

Both Visa and Mastercard say that with the suspension, cards issued overseas will no longer work at Russian merchants or ATMs, while Russian-issued cards will also not be accepted outside the country.

Warcraft 2, on the other hand, will have two different modes including the higher resolution mode which also supports LAN multiplayer. If you want to play with your friends over the net though, you have to play the game in its classic SVGA graphics mode since Battle.net support is only available under this mode....

Lights Out, for example, plays out almost like an action movie; just replace guns with torch lights. And while I wasn’t a big fan of Annabelle: Creation, there was a creative wackiness about it that makes the film stand out among the pack. Now, Sandberg, together with his longtime collaborator/wife Lotta Losten, has helmed another short film. Best part is, he did it during the Covid-19 pandemic, while under quarantine....

According to Reuters, the tool allowed NSO Group to help its clients to hack into WhatsApp’s servers and compromised over 1400 of the app’s users between the period of 29 April and 10 May 2019.

In addition to its general design, one of the major factors that give it away as a rebranded Mi CC9e is the fact that the phone comes with a 6.088-inch HD+ AMOLED display.
