    Assassins Creed Shadows review: A return to form, as all doubts are cast away with Shadows

    In terms of gameplay, it takes less than five minutes for you to come to terms with classic Ubisoft game construction, as everything from movement to the environment is inimitably Assassins Creed fare. Few game studios have needed a game to succeed as much as Ubisoft has needed Assassins Creed Shadows. A game that has attracted controversy, unwanted attention, and the cumulative ire of right-wing gamers for attempting to tell the story of Yasuke – the Black Samurai, Shadows was expected to deliver Ubisoft from a string of solid games that failed to make a mark at the box office. Despite much being expected from Shadows, in 2024 (when it was set to launch), it was felt that the latest entry in the iconic Assassins Creed franchise would be review bombed into failing even before its launch. However, come 2025, the game’s launch has been quite successful with over a…

     What was biggest dinosaur that ever lived? 

    Spinosaurus is currently thought to have been the largest carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaur, weighing in at 7.4 tonnes and 14 meters long Sydney: Kids of all ages and adults as well are fascinated by dinosaurs that break records for the biggest, the longest, the scariest or the fastest. It’s why, to this day, one of most famous dinosaurs is still Tyranosaurus rex, the tyrant king. These record-breaking dinosaurs are part of the reason why the Jurassic Park movie franchise has been so successful. Just think of the scene where Dr Alan Grant (played by New Zealand actor Sam Neill) is stunned by the giant sauropod dinosaur rearing up to reach the highest leaves in the tree with its long neck. But how do scientists work out how big and heavy a dinosaur was? And what were the biggest dinosaurs that ever lived? Calculating dinosaur size In an ideal world, calculating how big…

    What lies ahead for Microsoft’s Xbox?

    Rumors persist of a successor to the Xbox Series X/S and an upcoming handheld Understanding Microsoft’s future strategy for the Xbox is as challenging as solving string theory– just when you think you have figured it out, something new emerges to disrupt everything and undo all progress. Over the last couple of years, all signs from Microsoft have indicated its commitment to the cloud and its “Xbox Play Anywhere” slogan as some of its older exclusives have begun to appear even on competing consoles like the PlayStation. With Sea of Thieves launching at the end of April 2024, and Forza Horizon 5 set to launch on April 25, 2025, nearly a year later; it would be sensible for an industry watcher to claim that Microsoft has been refocusing on offering its best games to the widest playerbase possible. However, when you start feeling certain about that observation, Microsoft’s newer actions…

    A new discovery sheds light on our long-extinct cousins

    Since the discovery, researchers spent more than two years meticulously studying the remains of a million-year-old face. They tried to find out which species of ancient human they belonged to, and understand their lives and environment Hyderabad: Fragments of face bones from a species of extinct human previously unknown, dating from between 1.2 million and 1.4 million years ago, were discovered in the caves in the Atapuerca Mountains in Spain during archaeological excavations, which were going on for the last 50 years. The human traces stretched from the Bronze Age to hundreds of thousands of years into the past – before modern humans like us (Homo sapiens) even existed. These are earliest human remains ever found in Western Europe.

      Ford eliminates lease-to-buy option on EVs

      Car maker Ford will no longer offer the opportunity to purchase its three all-electric vehicles, the F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, and E-Transit Van, for new leases. Ford informed dealers in a letter that it was discontinuing the end-of-lease purchase option for the E-Transit van, Mustang Mach-E, and F-150 Lightning, Teslarati reported. The company said that “you do not have the option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease term”. This change happened on June 15 in 37 states; the remaining 14 states and the District of Columbia will follow suit by the fourth quarter of this year. Ford confirmed to CarsDirect that its communication was legitimate. Ford’s action is only the most recent illustration of how automakers…

      New research suggests robots could turn racist and sexist with flawed AI

      Arobot that operates using a popular Internet-based artificial intelligence system continuously and consistently gravitated to men over women, white people over people of colour, and jumped to conclusions about people’s jobs after a glance at their faces. These were the key findings in a study led by Johns Hopkins University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of Washington researchers. The study has been documented as a research article titled, “Robots Enact Malignant Stereotypes,” which is set to be published and presented this week at the 2022 Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAccT). “The robot has learned toxic stereotypes through these flawed neural network models. We’re at risk of creating a generation of racist and sexist robots but people…

      Meta agrees to stop algorithmic discrimination in housing ads

      San Francisco: Meta (formerly Facebook) and the US government have agreed on to settle a lawsuit that accused the social network of engaging in discriminatory advertising for housing. The housing discrimination lawsuit, filed by the government in 2019, accused that Meta enabled and encouraged advertisers to target their housing ads by relying on race, colour, religion, sex, disability, familial status, and national origin to decide which Facebook users will be eligible, and ineligible, to receive housing ads. Under the settlement, Meta will stop using an advertising tool for housing ads which relies on a discriminatory algorithm to find users who “look like” other users based on Fair Housing Act (FHA)-protected characteristics. Meta also will develop a new system over the next…

      Washington: The US space agency NASA has picked three design concept proposals for a nuclear fission surface power system design that could be ready to launch by the end of the decade for a demonstration on the Moon. This technology would benefit future exploration under the Artemis mission that aims to land the first woman and the first person of colour on the lunar surface and establish long-term exploration in preparation for missions to Mars. Lockheed Martin, Westinghouse and IX (a joint venture from Intuitive Machines and X-Energy), won the 12-month contracts, to be awarded through the DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory, which are each valued at approximately $5 million. The contracts fund the development of initial design concepts for a 40-kilowatt…

CAPTCHA which stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart” is what many of us encounter on a daily basis when navigating through websites and apps.
