Sadly, the coronavirus is spending rapidly in Wuhan China while reportedly so many people have lost their lives. Due to this China and other big tech companies are suffering badly.  

The technology sector is currently feeling the impact of the coronavirus, with companies that close offices, stores, and factories in China, in addition to restricting employees from non-essential trips to the country. The closures, which were initially expected to last during the Lunar New Year holiday week. At the end of January, it has now extended until February 10, although it is still unclear whether most companies will work again on Monday.

A multitude of short and long-term effects are anticipated, from postponed events to companies that potentially lose a holiday launch target due to the closure of offices across the country. Here is a look at how coronavirus has already affected the industry.

Earlier this month, leading technology companies announced that they would temporarily close all corporate offices, factories and retail stores in China. These companies include Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, Tesla, and Google. (Google has also closed offices near Hong Kong and Taiwan). Most closures were expected to last until Sunday, February 9, although some companies did not specify when exactly the offices would reopen.

Apple’s chief of staff, Deirdre O’Brien, wrote in an internal email that offices and contact centers are expected to open “next week,” while the reopening of retail stores is still being determined. “Additional cleaning, health protocols and local restrictions around public spaces will influence this decision,” he wrote. But it seems that “next week” could mean until February 15 for many stores, according to Bloomberg.

Amazon has not yet announced the closure of offices in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Guangzhou (it does not have an office in Wuhan, where the virus is believed to have originated), but requires employees to obtain approval for any essential trip to China. Employees traveling inside and outside of China are also advised to work from home for a period of 14 days before returning to the office.

While Facebook does not have offices in China, it also warned employees against non-essential trips to the country. LG and Razer have also advised similarly. If travelers can even reach China, this is another matter, since more than 50 airlines around the world have suspended flights in and out of the country.

As many products are manufactured in China (or use parts from Chinese suppliers), experts also warn customers to expect shortages of several smartphones, VR headsets, cars, and other technological accessories. Foxconn and Pegatron closures in China, for example, are expected to potentially delay the production of iPhones and AirPods since factory workers cannot resume work. We hope that this situation gets better soon.

All Pokémon fans get ready as Pokémon Go the event is about to happen soon. While the Pokémon Go is ready to celebrate the Sinnoh region in a completely new event. That will see Gen 4 Pokémon appear more frequently in nature.

Firstly, the Instructors will also have the opportunity to catch two new Bright Pokémon making their debut in Pokémon Go, as well as many other things, including new field research, changes in the egg group and much more. Sounds so exciting! Plus, if you’re looking to make the most of the Pokémon Go Celebration Sinnoh event, here’s everything you need to know, including the start time to what to expect in this event. So, let’s dig in!

To celebrate the Sinnoh region, a special event will be held with Pokémon of the fourth generation in Pokémon Go begins Friday, February 7 at 8 a.m. to Monday, February 10 at 10 p.m. local time. Secondly, the event presents field research tasks, and some of them deliver Sinnoh Stones, an element of evolution necessary to evolve many of the strongest Pokémon in the region.

In addition, Pokémon like Budew, Combee, Bronzor, Gible, Riolu, Hippopotas and Mantyke will hatch seven-kilometer eggs. Niantic’s announcement points out that only the Pokémon in the Sinnoh region will come out of these eggs, so this is probably the best chance to get a rare find, such as Gible or Riolu. While the exciting thing is that Hippopotas and Riolu also appear in the game Shiny for the first time.

There will be new research tasks that will be activated when the Sinnoh event begins. Niantic confirmed on the official Pokémon Go blog that Sinnoh Stones will be the reward for at least one task. Here is an updated list of confirmed research assignments for the Sinnoh event:

• Catch five Kricketot – Combee
• Win a raid – Hippopotas
• Evolve a Pokémon using a Sinnoh Stone – Cranidos
• Weft five eggs – Sinnoh Stone

Catch five Turtwig, Chimnchar or Piplup – Stardust (x1000). All 7km eggs during the Sinnoh celebration event will hatch only Pokémon Gen 4. The official Pokémon Go blog confirmed that the following Pokémon will hatch more frequently in the last change in the Egg Reserve.  Lastly, the Sinnoh Stones can be collected more easily through research tasks during the event. Coaches may want to stock up on them to evolve the following Pokémon:

• Roselia -> Roserade

• Kirlia (man) -> Gallade

• Snorunt (woman) -> Froslass

• Dusclops -> Dusknoir

• Magneton -> Magnezone

• Piloswine -> Mamoswine

A new great update from Nether in Minecraft has revealed some great new materials! The Nether was first introduced in the game in 2010, and since then there have not been many changes. It’s a pretty intense area full of lava, Zombie Pigmen, Ghosts and the Ender Dragon!

But this new update includes an exciting new high-level material called Netherite. Furthermore, Netherite is a completely new material that developers say can be used to: “upgrade your diamond equipment!”

It can be found in the lower depths of the Nether by mining old debris. To make Netherite, players must refine it in Scrap Netherite using an oven and then combining it with four gold bars on a craft table. This will give players a Netherite ingot, which can be used in different ways.

As the game may be 10 years old now, but Minecraft is still an incredibly popular title that players can’t avoid returning. And if you haven’t done it yourself, this latest update may be the boost you need. Known as the Nether Update, developer Mojang has announced a series of additions and changes that will come to the game, mainly in relation to Nether itself. The Nether is an infernal area full of fire and lava, but it has remained virtually unchanged since its initial inclusion in 2010.

What players should expect from the update?

If players combine this wonderful new material with their armor, it will have greater strength and durability than the diamond! Yes, harder than diamond! It also has resistance to recoil, which means that players will hardly move if they are hit with arrows.

Any weapon made with Netherite will also do more damage than diamonds. The most interesting thing is that Netherite cannot be destroyed by lava! – Very useful for exploring The Nether!

In addition to Netherite, there are some other additions to the new update. New forests such as crimson and deformed forests have been added, which means some new blocks and materials to play with. Soul Sand Valley has been added, which contains fossils and the mysterious remains of creatures from the past. In addition to new locations, new creatures called Hoglins have been added.

For more coverage on PlayStation 4, including recent news, rumors and leaks on the console, and everything related to it, click here. In the latest and related news, another former Xbox One exclusive console will hit the PS4. Meanwhile, Far Cry 6 is in development, but it is not clear if it will be a PS4 or PS5 game. As always, feel free to leave a statement that lets us know what you picked up on the new sale and how much money you saved.

As the technology gets advanced and many tech-savvies working toward the betterment and up-gradation. In addition, recent researches show that the researchers can steal your valuable data through tracing the brightness of a PC monitor.

It sounds extremely dangerous but there are already ways to extract data from computers without a network connection or outdated physical theft.

But this could be one of the smartest examples. Researchers have found a way to steal data from “airless” computers that are, there is no way to connect to other devices using the brightness of an LCD screen. The approach has compromised re-transmission of the computer, imperceptible changes in the RGB color values ​​of the LCD screen that a camera-equipped device can detect. Theoretically, it could trick someone into loading malware on the target system through a USB drive and use nearby hijacked security cameras to transmit that information.

However, do not worry if someone reads your login data through the window in the short term. As the methods imply, a data thief would still have to violate the victim’s computer and have cameras that they control within the line of sight. This could be useful for intelligence agencies that perform Stuxnet-style intrusions, but an attacker cannot simply sit outside his house and read data from his computer monitor. Even so, it gives ultra-safe facilities something to think about: they may not want to place cameras behind computers with air space so that a rival nation does not perform any Mission level spying Impossible.

Let us explain how these hackers steal your information through the new BRIGHT attack which is similar to all the methods described above.  They Infect the system with air space. Along with the malware that runs on the infected computer collects the data you want to steal. the malware alters the color settings of a screen to modify the brightness level. The brightness level is adjusted up / down to transmit a 0/1 binary pattern that transmits a file, one bite at a time. A close attack records the screen of the infected computer. The video is analyzed and the file is reconstructed analyzing the variations in the brightness of the screen. The research team said it tested the BRIGHTNESS attack in various configurations. The researchers say they got the best results by modifying the red pixels with about 3% of their normal settings.

Very interesting deliberation as day by day the advanced technology is coming. All the companies are trying to give their best in terms of best features and up to date features in their gaming applications.

Artificial intelligence is an area of ​​computer science that is somewhat difficult to define. Primarily, it involves finding ways for computers to process and engage in complicated tasks that – to varying degrees – mimic human cognition. But, within this field, various categories have arisen. Machine learning, for example, concerns getting machines to flip how we usually approach AI.

As Forbes ’Bernard Marr highlights: “rather than teaching computers everything they need to know about the world and how to carry out tasks, it might be possible to teach them to learn for themselves. “

With the spread of the internet and rapid advances we’ve made in tech, we actually encounter artificial intelligence all the time. Various digital assistants, for example, are plugged into the vast data sets of the internet, offering unique answers to a range of questions.

The game technology is well-defined by very specific rules. Because there are so many different types of games, with various genres and attractive themes for different demographic groups, everyone can find something they enjoy (in the same way, everyone can enjoy music as a medium). From games that aim to accurately simulate car driving to narrative experiences with performances at the Hollywood level, the spectrum is as large as people’s tastes. However, all of them are unified by having rules and structures. Otherwise, the games make no sense.

The problem for many computer and game development experts is that artificial intelligence threatens the idea of ​​creating rules. As Gamasutra, a gaming industry website, notes: “Game AI developers worry [that] advanced AI is unpredictable, and not only can destroy the player’s experience. But also that unpredictability could affect the production processes of more traditional games. “

Despite this, work is still being done to improve AI systems in games, to help provide unique experiences to players. For example, the Forza racing game series loads players’ driving habits into a storage cloud, then places this data in digital avatars. These avatars serve as opponents for the player’s friends (who also play Forza). That means that, instead of having computer-controlled opponents, these fake opponents imitate a player’s friends learning their habits.  Wherever the future leads, there’s no doubt that AI will be at the forefront of revolutionizing our interaction with technology. In the coming years we will be seeing some interesting features and updates. Stay tuned for more information.
