0

If you are enjoying your holidays with your new PS 5 and want to play some interesting games, then here is a list of the 10 best games of 2020 for your PlayStation 5.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition

This game was natively developed for the PS5. It can take the new hardware’s total benefit. The new ‘Performance RT’ mode has achieved ray tracing with 60 frames per second. The ultimate edition of the game does include a 2018’s remastered version.

Demon’s Souls

This game is the production of the FromSoftware. This Japanese studio’s other Soul games were also popular. The stunning visual details integrate the brutal and combat of the classic 2009 to a modern canvas.

Astro’s Playroom

You don’t have to download the game or even pay for it, because the game is already preloaded on the console. Several portions of the game pretend as a tech demo for the outstanding new DualSense controller.

Bugsnax

It’s a great indie game by developer Young Horses, famous for creating Octodad: Deadliest Catch. You need to have complete many activities in this game and have to capture up to 100 species of these bug creatures. Bugsnax was also a free launch day PS5 release. Dive into Snakooth Island and enjoy the game.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Ubisoft brought a masterpiece based on the historical fiction series. The previous two in the series Origins and Odyssey had introduced ancient Egypt and Greece respectively. Now Valhalla comes with a storyline of the Vikings. This game is a cross-gen game that arrived in time for the PlayStation 5 launch.

Persona 5

The game was released in 2017, but the developer Atlus always tries to keep the game so fresh and alive. He added an expansion of the game earlier this year, named ‘Persona 5: Royal’. This version packs new characters, improvements in quality of life, and gameplay additions. Persona 5 is free in the PlayStation Plus subscription.

Fortnite

After release, it’s been three years, the game is still getting hypes. Now it’s better with the new next-gen consoles. Fortnite doesn’t need any introduction with its huge fan base. If you are playing in PS5, then you will get the option of a new 120 Hz mode and an even higher frame rate is available if you have that much better TV to support.

Ghost of Tsushima

It’s a standard open-world game. The main attraction of the game is its visual beauty, the quiet moments, and those deep sword combats which give an experience of simulating the samurai Jin Sakai. You’ll get 60fps on PS5.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

The game launched the last April as a complete version. It’s not properly optimized with the PlayStation 5. But with the backward compatibility, the game gets a slight performance boost. If you are a Final Fantasy fan, then just dive into the game.

Godfall

Godfall is a fantasy action RPG game, full of adventures. The game is full of arcane magics and heroic knights. Complete those missions and you will be rewarded with massive loots, legendary armor collections, and many more. With the PS5 you’ll get stunning visual effects with HDR support.

Intel B560 chipset motherboards will support overclocking, Core i9-11900K blows away Ryzen 7 5800X

0

Intel will be launching its 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S desktop CPUs next month as well as the new 500 series chipset motherboards. This will bring a lot of new features that were only found only on AMD motherboards until now like PCIe Gen 4.0 and DDR4 3200 MHz memory support.

Apart from these features, Intel’s new CPUs will support their onboard Intel Xe Gen 12 Graphics, which gives 50% higher performance than Gen9 integrated graphics. Also, the new Cypress Cove core architecture is said to provide handsome IPC gains over Comet Lake.

Then features like Thunderbolt 4 and Integrated CNVi & Wireless-AX features are also very lucrative with the new Intel 500 series motherboards which are expected to ship from 11th January onwards. However, the new 11th Gen CPUs are said to go through mass production in January and you can expect them in market in February or March.

Meanwhile, the leaks have confirmed that the upcoming budget B560 motherboards will support overclocking which up until now was exclusive to expensive Z-series motherboards only. Obviously, for Intel, this is a clear admiration from AMD who did this with its B-series motherboards.

Intel Core i9-11900K Benchmarks:

Intel’s upcoming 8 core flagship has been leaked recently, a Chiphell forum member did end up posting alleged performance benchmarks of the Core i9-11900K (Qualification Sample). It was tested in benchmarks like CPU-Z, Cinebench R23, and Cinebench R20:

via Wccftech

As we see in the results that the Rocket Lake-S chip’s single-threaded performance is quite impressive, up to 20% improvement in the single-core is too good to be believed. So, although you can take this result with a pinch of salt, if this is the case, Intel’s effort to squeeze everything out of 14nm node is fantastic.

At the first virtual CES® (Consumer Electronics Show) to be held on January 11, 2021, LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its new InstaView® Door-in-Door® refrigerators that have upgraded features and innovative design for improved convenience of the user.

According to a CES Press Release, the side-by-side refrigerator models which have revolutionised the industry now come with features such as a “larger glass panel along with a modern flat door design, new UVnano™ technology built into the water dispenser to reduce bacteria, and the exclusive LG Craft Ice™ inside”. To take hands-free convenience to a whole new level in the kitchen, LG, in its new upgrades, is also introducing models with new InstaView voice recognition technology.

The convenience-enhancing updates received by LG’s iconic InstaView Door-in-Door technology in 2021 also includes the ‘LG InstaView panel’, which illuminates the interior of the refrigerator with just two quick knocks on the transparent glass, this helps the users to see inside without opening the door and minimize cold air loss while extending food freshness.

Door-in-Door technology also aids in the organisation of everyday favourites for quick and easy access to often-used items without having the need to open the entire refrigerator. New side-by-side models of 2021 offer a “larger, more immersive tinted glass panel that complements the new seamless stainless-steel flat door panel design for the ultimate elegant aesthetic never before offered on side-by-side configurations.” There is a 23 percent increase in the size of the new InstaView window than previous models, which makes seeing what’s inside easier than ever.

LG’s UVnano technology, which was first introduced in 2017 on the company’s most premium water dispenser products, removes up to “99.99 percent of bacteria on the refrigerator’s dispenser after 24 hours.” The new InstaView refrigerators also incorporate this technology that makes use of the power of light to aid in the maintenance of a germ-free water dispenser.

Best of Innovation winner at the CES 2021 Innovation Awards, the new LG InstaView refrigerator with a voice recognition technology lets users speak simple voice commands like “Open the refrigerator door.” It also makes it possible to ask the refrigerator for the day’s agenda or to check the status of the ice and water dispensers. With “Amazon Dash Replenishment, homeowners can order replacement water filters automatically by linking their Amazon account with the LG ThinQ® app.”

The LINEARCooling™ and DoorCooling+™, LG’s proven freshness-enhancing systems, are both incorporated in the new InstaView product in the lineup. “LINEARCooling minimizes temperature fluctuations – the main cause of food spoilage3 – while DoorCooling+ simultaneously cools the entire refrigerator compartment evenly by distributing powerful airflow from a strategically positioned vent.”

LG Craft Ice™, which debuted in InstaView French-Door refrigerators last year, in 2021 is coming to Side-by-Side InstaView refrigerators. “The two-inch, slow-melting ice balls generated by the LG Craft Ice system make drinks look great while keeping them cool longer.”

Hon’ble CM BS Yediyurappa to flag off the ride at Vidhana Soudha tomorrow at 11am

Bengaluru, December 28: Aditya Mehta Foundation’s (AMF) ongoing Infinity Ride 2020 has so far covered 31 cities and India’s first-ever para cyclist Aditya Mehta alongside country’s para cycling team arrived in Bangalore as part of their mission to create awareness about para sports during their 3842km-long and a 36-city, 45-day challenging cycling ride from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
During the journey, the riders have so far visited various NGOs, schools to interact and inspire children and other specially-abled people. One such interaction happened on Saturday following their arrival at city hub, Koramangala where the 30-member Infinity Ride team visited The Mitti Cafe—a chain of inclusive cafes entirely run by specially-abled people.

“We are delighted to visit and interact with people at Mitti Cafe today. We are also specially-abled and we spent time with the specially-abled working staff of the cafe and interacted with them about para sports and how each of them can be empowered to the next level as we shared our journey and stories from our life experiences to motivate and encourage them. We also explained to them, what it means to play for India and how it feels when you win a medal for the country,” said Aditya Mehta, the founder of Aditya Mehta Foundation and also a Limca Book of Records holder who is currently on a mission to create para sports champions for India.

In a freewheeling interaction, the cyclists shared their own life changing experiences with the specially-abled cafe employees and further highlighted the fact about how sports have not only empowered them but as sportsperson representing India has given a purpose to each of their lives.

“The team at the Mitti Cafe really enjoyed interacting with para cyclists. The cyclists shared their journey and a lot of other things. Our team enthralled to hearing about them. Cyclists in turn saw inclusion of healthy food at the cafe which was very interesting for them to understand how healthy food can be made and served by these specially-abled people and how they are leading life with dignity and earning with love and respect. For me inclusion has been about acceptance of persons with disabilities in every aspect of work and making them feel absolutely loved in this space. To make them feel capable in every sense and work independently and happily,” said Darshana Nahata, Creative Head at Mitti Cafe.

The Infinity Ride 2020, a brain-child of Aditya Mehta Foundation, aims to spread awareness about para sports and scout talent to train and nurture them at the Asia’s first-ever Infinity Para Sports Academy and Rehabilitation Centre in order to groom the talent and prepare them to win medals for the country at the international stage.
Following a stop in Bengaluru, the sixth edition of Infinity Ride will resume their remaining journey of 705km on Sunday with Karnataka’s Hon’ble Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa flagging off the ride at Vidhana Soudha in the morning. The riders will then head towards Tamil Nadu through Dharmapuri and further visit three more cities before reaching their destination Kanyakumari on December 31.

About Aditya Mehta Foundation (AMF):
“Our vision is to make India a superpower in the world of para sports.” Aditya Mehta Foundation (AMF) is a non-profit organisation which aids people with disabilities to pursue sporting careers while also providing them self-sustenance. The Foundation, which started in 2013, has grown by leaps and bounds in the short span of time. Based in Hyderabad, the foundation has managed to span out to virtually every corner of the nation and have contributed in creating para champions who have been winning medals for India. It represents a unique cause and seeks to help a neglected part of a fairly large population.

About Infinity Ride:
The AMF raises funds through its signature Fund-Raising event, the Infinity Ride, and also scouts for talent among the population of people with disability and trains them from the grassroots as well. With the money raised, it also provides counselling and helps them get better at their sport or even find a sport that is suitable for them. It provides the necessary equipment, training and funding for these athletes as well to help them grow in their sport and compete at the International level. Along with the civilian talent, a major part of the foundation’s efforts is directed at finding and nurturing talent from nation’s Central Armed Police Forces (BSF, CRPF and ITBP), which have a number of soldiers who have suffered debilitating or permanent injuries while serving the country at the border or in naxal-hit areas and now are trained to become potential talents for the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics.

In its sixth edition, the upcoming ride will take place from Kashmir to Kanyakumari; traversing 3842 km through difficult and mountainous terrain with support of Border Security Force (BSF) who have partnered and supported AMF to execute the ride. Border Security Force (BSF) was the only organisation who believed in our cause from the very beginning and supported us since the inception of this ride and later Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) also joined hands for this cause.

Be Careful: Cyberpunk 2077 Mobile Version is A Ransomware

0

After so many delays, Cyberpunk 2077 has finally done a bumpy launch. The game is compatible with PC and gaming consoles. Still, there is no mobile available for the game. Meanwhile, an Android version of Cyberpunk 2077 is found by a malware analyst which is nothing but ransomware.

A malware analyst for Kaspersky, Tatyana Shishkova tweeted about the fake app. She said that she had downloaded the game from a fake website imitating the Google Play Store. Below, we have included the tweet of her.

As you can see, Shishkova wrote in the tweet “New Android Ransomware disguised as Cyberpunk 2077 game.” This ransomware is specifically called CoderWare, which is liked to be a variant of BalckKingdom.

So, when a user downloads the app, who doesn’t know about the ransomware, this app behaves like the normal other malware and steals the user data from that device. When the user data are encrypted, he/she will have to decrypt it by paying $500 in Bitcoin. The user will get only 10 hours in hand to pay the ransom. Otherwise, all the data will be deleted permanently.

The good news is, Tatyana got a way to decrypt the data without paying any money to the ransom. She described that in the CoderWare ransomware, there is a hardcoded decryption key. Check out below.

Those affected can take the decryption key, and then you have to use a decryptor to get back your all data and files without paying the money.
