Programmer Releases Unofficial Android Os For Nintendo Switch

The Android build for the Switch was created by the programmer ByLaws, and was tested by the good people at XDA. According to them, the Switch running on Android functions just as you’d expect it to; as a tablet running on the Android OS. As an “Android tablet”, the hacked Switch performs as well as any Android-based tablet, able to execute certain apps and programs that the original Switch OS is unable to....

Project Sandcastle Lets You Run Android On Iphone 7

For now, Project Sandcastle is still quite limited. You’ll only be able to make an iPhone 7, 7 Plus, and iPod Touch. The limitation is because the hack relies on the checkra1n jailbreak to launch. This jailbreak doesn’t work on the iPhone 11 or newer. On the other hand, it should continue to work on devices that can already make use of it. Unless Apple fixes the jailbreaks on older devices, that is....

Ps Plus Free Games For August 2022 Has Two Big Winners

Perhaps arguably, August’s headliner for PS Plus subscribers is Yakuza: Like A Dragon. The seventh entry into the mainline series, this also marks a change to the series’ formula moving forward. We’re tempted to say that the spinoff series Judgment will continue the more action-oriented side of things. But the future of the subseries is kind of up in the air considering the differences between publisher Sega and talent agency Johnny & Associates, which manages star actor Takuya Kimura who plays subseries lead Takayuki Yagami....

Rare Nvidia Geforce Gtx 2080 Prototype Appears

Pictures of the GTX 2080 were posted on Reddit by a redditor going by the name of ascendance22, who claims to have found an engineering sample of the card. That being said, their claim does hold some water, given that the cooler shroud design is identical to that of the GPU’s Founders Edition design at the time. What sets the card apart from the RTX 20 series, naturally, is the “GTX” moniker at the spine of the card, as well as the lack of any other labeling or branding that companies – NVIDIA isn’t immune to this either – just love plastering across the product....

Cue Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, one of those PS5 exclusives I mentioned. And without saying too much during this preamble section of the review, let’s just say that it ticks all the right boxes. And it’s done in a way that comes together really beautifully, rather than just crossing items off a checklist. I diss graphics, but boy is this game beautiful. Despite everything I said about the unimportance of graphics, I’ll admit that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the most beautiful game I’ve played this year....

This was apparently reflected in feedback during QA and playtests. The report also notes that the publisher had at least a dozen battle royale games in various stages of development at a time. One can only assume that these were among the games that were cancelled, considering the company’s tendency for trend-chasing....

Reuters Report Suggests Bitcoin May Cause More Harm Than Good For Environment

As explained in a Reuters article, one of the biggest problems with mining for Bitcoin – or any cryptocurrency, for that matter – is the amount of carbon dioxide created by the mining farms that solve and execute the calculations provided by the blockchain, and getting paid for it. According to data provided by the University of Cambridge and the International Energy Agency, cryptomining is expected to generate nearly 30 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year....

Richard Jewell Review A Fascinating At Times Mind Boggling Story

The film opens in an office. An overweight mail clerk — Richard (Paul Walter Hauser) — awkwardly approaches the lawyer (Sam Rockwell) working in his cubicle.

He says that he knows Watson likes the caramel candy because he paid attention to what’s in his trash can and noticed the wrappers....
