Sony May Be Giving Refunds For Those Who Bought Ps5 Maneater

Reddit user BraeWhyit claims that SIE sent an email notifying them to that effect. The email basically says that because they bought the game that was selected as a PS Plus monthly free game, the company is refunding the purchase price of the game. As a result, BraeWhyit has gotten a small number of advantages that are not immediately obvious. The first is that the game is left in the library, meaning they are able to play it instead of having to wait until 5 January to claim it....

Sony Playstation Classic Gets Hacked Plays Games Straight From Usb Drive

The shoddy security flaw was first discovered when two console hackers by the name of yifanlu and madmonkey1907 were dumping the console’s system code on to an external machine. It was during that process that the hackers found the key that was embedded on the device itself. Instead of a private key that is usually exclusive only to Sony. As one would expect, the hackers wasted no time in trying to crack the retro console and get it to run other PlayStation games that aren’t a part of the original list....

South Korea Fines Google Krw207 4 Billion Over Android Dominance Abuse

The Korea Fair Trade Commission said that Google’s anti-fragmentation agreements (AFA) with phone makers prevents them from developing or using modified versions of Android. In addition to the fine, the commission also banned Google from making manufacturers sign new AFA contracts, and making it modify existing ones. These moves are reportedly intended to spur competition by letting companies create more forks of Android. This then would allow each brand to modify the mobile OS to “target different device classes or use cases” without Google retaliating....

The Lg Wing Is A Very Interesting Take On A Dual Display Smartphone

For a dual display phone concept, the LG Wing is pretty interesting. For one, the device isn’t a tablet that folds into a phone the way its rivals are. Instead, the two displays are parallel to one another initially. One side slides either up or down depending on your perspective, before finally twisting into a T formation. For those who remember, this is pretty similar to the phone used by Tony Stark at the beginning of the very first Iron Man movie....
