Google is Indexing WhatsApp Group Chat links, which Makes Even Private Groups Recognizable

Google is indexing requests to WhatsApp group chats. While it makes invitation links, including links to private group chats, identifiable and available to anyone who wants to join, Motherboard reports.

Furthermore, the journalist Jordan Wildon said on Twitter that he discovered that the “Invite to group link” feature of WhatsApp allows Google to index groups. Since making them available on the Internet as links are shared outside the secure private messaging service of WhatsApp.

While Motherboard was able to find private groups using specific Google searches (and the results included many groups to share porn). Once they joined a group, aimed at NGOs accredited by the UN, they had access to all participants and their phone numbers.

The Group administrators can invalidate a link to a chat if they wish, but Wildon says he discovered that, in those situations. WhatsApp only generates a new link; It does not necessarily disable the original link. WhatsApp group links come with attached warnings, reminding the person who generates the link only to share it with people you trust.

In addition, Facebook’s WhatsApp spokeswoman Alison Bonny said in an email to The Verge that “like all content that is shared on public search channels, other WhatsApp users can find invitation links that are published on the Internet,” and He added that “links that users wish to share privately with people they know and trust should not be published on a publicly accessible website.”

Whereas Google decayed to provide comments on the record, but Danny Sullivan, the company’s public search link. He also tweeted that “search engines like Google and others list pages on the open web. That’s what is happening here. No is unlike any case where a site allows URLs to be publicly listed. ” It included a link to instructions in the Google Help Center to prevent content from being included in search results.

WhatsApp, of course, has had its share of security-related headaches in recent months. An alleged Saudi Arabian hack on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’s phone in 2018 was reportedly carried out through a WhatsApp message infected with malware. Last May, a vulnerability discovered in the application was being used to inject spyware into Android and iOS phones through a phone call.

Poco X2 vs Redmi Note 8 Pro: Which 64-megapixel Smartphone is Better

Recently, the these two amazing smartphones launched in the market. Poco X2 with the Realme X2 and it was a beautiful neck to neck battle in which we found that the Poco X2 offers a slightly better overall package. When it comes to especially due to its price. According to the reviews, it is time to face Poco X2 against a rival from his own territory, which is even more affordable: the Redmi Note 8 Pro. If you are confused between these two phones here’s our comparison chart.

While, equipped with a powerful processor, impressive camera specifications, a large battery, and a premium design, the Redmi Note 8 Pro offers a lot for the money,.On paper, the Redmi Note 8 Pro seems pretty even with its cousin, but is it the best purchase or does it make sense to pay a premium for the Poco X2? Let’s find out.

Poco X2 vs Redmi Note 8 Pro prices and variants

The Poco X2 with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The following variant doubles storage with the same amount of RAM and the high-end variant offers 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage in Rs. 19,999. These are very good prices for what is offered.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro also comes in three variants, but they are all priced lower than Poco’s offers. The Redmi Note 8 Pro starts at Rs. 13,999 for 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage; going up to Rs. 15,999 for 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, and Rs. 17,999 for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The high-end version of the Note 8 Pro does not have as much storage as the X2, but you can use a microSD card.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro is clearly more affordable than the Poco X2, in all variants, and is also easier to buy, thanks to the limited supplies of the Poco X2 shortly after its launch, resulting in a flash sales period. However, there is a reason why the Little X2 costs a little more, which we will see in a moment.

Poco X2 vs Redmi Note 8 Pro design and style

As both smartphones have a very good build quality and look very elegant. The Redmi Note 8 Pro comes in a more sober choice of colors, while the Poco X2 comes in brighter and more striking finishes. The glass backs on both phones are scratch resistant, which increases the feeling of quality. Both have similar weights and thicknesses, although the Redmi Note 8 Pro is a bit lighter.

Poco X2 vs Redmi Note 8 Pro performance and games

The Redmi Note 8 Pro works with MediaTek Helio G90T, a powerful game-oriented SoC. The Poco X2 uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G, which is the same as the Realme X2. Both are eight-core processors, but Qualcomm’s offer is based on the new 8 nm manufacturing process, compared to the 12 nm process for the Helio G90T. On paper, this should make it more energy-efficient.

Both processors are more than capable of handling everyday tasks, and with normal use, we do not notice any stuttering or delay in the interface or when performing multiple tasks on any of the phones. We tested the usual games like PUBG Mobile and Asphalt 9: Legends on both phones and these games worked very well. The Redmi Note 8 Pro was able to run both games with high graphic quality, but after about 20 minutes of play, we noticed that the phone got quite hot. The Poco X2 also warmed up a little after the same amount of time, but not as much as the Redmi.

The Final Verdict

It was a close fight between the Poco X2 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro but between the two, we feel that the Poco X2 is worth the premium it guidelines. For the extra money, you get fewer ads in MIUI, a smoother display, and more capable cameras for shooting video. The Poco X2 is a little bulkier than the Redmi Note 8 Pro and it only comes in flashy color trims, but other than this, there’s little to complain about.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro has long been our go-to recommendation in this segment, and even now, the base variant is still one of the best phones you can buy for under Rs. 15,000. However, when it comes to the higher-end variants, the Poco X2 offers better value for just a bit more money.

Best Smartphones launching in 2020

Are you planning to buy a new smartphone this 2020? If yes then this guide is for you as today, we will highlight one of the best and amazing feature smartphones.

That is, this year will be great for phones with better cameras, flexible displays, 5G connectivity or screens with high update rates.

Which smartphones are coming in 2020?

There’s some interesting smartphone coming in near in the future. Some companies have already started to leak the upcoming upgrades and features. While Samsung recently demonstrated this point on February 11, when it announced its Galaxy S20 devices and the Galaxy Z Flip folding phone, which includes many of the features.

This should not be surprising, as phone manufacturers are evolving and innovating faster than ever. We also predict that Samsung’s Galaxy line and Apple iPhones will remain the best option for many people, but other phone manufacturers will look for their place with their own fantastic phones. Though, all these competition reimbursements us users, who have many excellent phones to choose from and at different prices. Read on to see which are the best phones right now. Also, you can check this list frequently, as we update it regularly as the year unfolds, especially since Samsung and Motorola recently launched several phones this month.

Samsung Galaxy S20

While it’s true that the new Galaxy S20 phones just launched, the refined, feature-packed Note 10 Plus from 2019 still closes the gap with rival phones. This top-of-the-line phone was made for people who want the best Android. It has a killer 6.8-inch screen, an all-day battery life, and excellent camera tools. Here are a few specs which will help you choose the best among the rest of the smartphones.

Samsung S20
  • CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855.
  • Memory: 8/12GB RAM.
  • Storage: 256GB/512GB* (*Note 10 Plus Only)
  • Screen Size: 6.3-inch/6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED.

  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, 5G* (*Note 10 Plus 5G Only)

Huawei P30 Pro

The photographic skills of the Huawei P30 Pro rule the world of phones. Take amazing photos, battery life is excellent and its vibrant design is beautiful. It’s that new camera system that really helps the P30 Pro stand out from the crowd. Based on the 3x lossless optical zoom presented with the P20 Pro last year, Huawei has surpassed itself with the P30 Pro. If you are looking for a truly unique smartphone camera experience, or expect to start a detective agency Fans and you need a really powerful zoom in your pocket, this could be your next phone. Huawei P30 Pro appraisal will hopefully make clear, this handset is far more than just a picture-taking powerhouse, and has the potential to be the perfect phone for a variety of different users. Here are the few specs of Huawei P30 Pro.

Huawei P30 Pro
  • Dimensions: 158 x 73.4 x 8.4 mm.
  • Weight: 192 g.
  • Screen: 6.47-inch, 19.5:9, 398 ppi (1,080 x 2,340)
  • CPU: Kirin 980.
  • RAM: 6GB/8GB.
  • Storage: 128GB/256GB/512GB.
  • Battery: 4,200 mAh.
  • Cameras: 40MP + 20MP + 8MP rear + ToF / 32MP front.

OnePlus 7 Pro

Today, phones are constantly surpassed with emerging selfie cameras, on-screen fingerprint sensors, and multiple rear cameras, in addition to their selfie camera. OnePlus 7 Pro has all the features of the day to keep us attracted. But it is the initial price of $ 669 of the phone that makes the deal. The OnePlus tracking for the US market, the OnePlus 7T is also an excellent phone. And stay tuned in 2020 for the next OnePlus flagship, as the company demonstrated its OnePlus Concept One at CES 2020, which included a ‘missing’ camera.

OnePlus 7 Pro

The OnePlus 7 Pro has some surprises behind its impressive full-screen front, without imperfections from a notch cut or a perforated camera. It hides a new pop-up selfie camera and offers a screen refresh rate of 90Hz that makes games and watching movies look extremely smooth. Even if you don’t have the best camera phone, it has featured that Apple and Samsung won’t provide in 2019, and similar performance. However, one more surprise: this new OnePlus phone now costs almost as much as the iPhone XR and Galaxy S10e.

  • Storage 128 GB
  • Camera 48MP + 16MP + 8MP
  • Battery 4000 mAh
  • Display  6.67″ (16.94 cm)
  • Ram 6 GB

Google Pixel 4 XL

The Google Pixel 3a doesn’t feel like the affordable cousin of a high-end phone: it feels more like a powerful and impressive mid-range phone in its own right, with excellent specifications and useful features inherited from the Pixel 3 that it won. Don’t find it in Many other devices of similar price.

Google has traditionally competed in the high-end smartphone market with its Pixel series, so the Pixel 3a, presented as an affordable alternative to Google Pixel 3, is a notable change in the company’s strategy. Launched in Google IO 2019 along with the Pixel 3a XL (the lowest cost version of the Pixel 3 XL), the Google Pixel 3a shows that the company is trying to expand its customer base by offering phones at a lower price than its flagship devices.

New Google Pixel 4 XL

The Pixel 3a is not really the newest Google device, that is the new Pixel 4, along with the Pixel 4 XL. This does not compete with the Pixel 3a per se, because it is Google’s flagship range rather than the affordable line, but it gives us a weak idea about a possible future Pixel 4a that could come out in early 2020. Until the rumors began circulating this year, we did not expect Google to launch affordable phones in the short term, and we would not have expected a phone launched at the price of Pixel 3a to be as impressive as it is. In many ways, Google Pixel 3a is a total surprise for its cost.

Samsung Galaxy S10e

According to the leaks, it has a screen size of 5.8 inches and has 128 GB of built-in storage. It will be equipped with a battery capacity of 3100 mAh and works with Android 9 Pie OS. The phone works with a Snapdragon 855 chipset and an Octa-core processor. The ‘e’ in Samsung Galaxy S10e means ‘essential’, which means that it includes almost everything that the S10 and the S10 Plus have, at a lower price. You get a 5.8-inch screen, the same two main cameras, and battery life throughout the day, but a third lens, the curved edges of the screen and the on-screen fingerprint sensor will be lost. That is the tempting commitment offered by Samsung’s ‘budget flagship’ and the response to Apple’s iPhone XR.

New Samsung smartphone

But you probably won’t choose between less expensive devices: you’ll see those phones compared to your more expensive siblings. We found the S10e on a rugged phone that is worth giving up the additional advantages in the S10 (which costs $ 150 / £ 113 / AU $ 210 more) or the S10 Plus ($ 250 / £ 189 / AU $ 350 more). As an added benefit, the smaller dimensions of the S10e will certainly appeal to people who do not appreciate the growing size of flagship phones.

The basic advantages of the S10e remain impressive, although there is a new flagship of the first level in the city: the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. In addition to the expected S Pen stylus, it also has a flight time sensor along with triple the line S10.

  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 octa-core.
  • Display: 5.8-inch, 2280 x 1080 pixels resolution Super AMOLED 19:9 ratio (438 ppi)
  • Operating system: Android 9.0 Pie with One UI.
  • RAM: 6GB/8GB LPDDR4.
  • Storage: 128/512GB or 1TB (ceramic) internal with microSD expansion card slot.

Motorola Moto G7

Motorola Moto G7 has an elegant and contemporary design, a dew notch screen, decent dual rear cameras, turbocharging, solid battery life and an almost available version of Android 9 Pie, so it’s worth every penny. It is easy to be attracted to iconic phones like the iPhone XS, Pixel 3 or Galaxy S10. Each has a cutting-edge design and a lot of features, but they also have a considerable price. Even the most value-oriented Apple and Samsung phones, such as the Galaxy S10E and the iPhone XR, will cost you $ 750. That’s why it is undoubtedly impressive that the Motorola Moto G7 ($ 230 at Walmart) costs only $ 300.

Motorola G7

Furthermore, it offers the best design balance, features and price on almost any phone sold today. The Moto G family of phones has a history of being full of well-considered needs at an attractive price. In the last two years, the Moto G5 Plus ($ 170 on Amazon) and the Moto G6 showed us how nice a cheap phone can be. And this year’s Moto G7 continues in the same direction with a body similar to the Moto G6 and longer battery life, a faster processor and a larger screen. Let us know in the comment section which phone you think is so far is the best? Stay tuned for more reviews on upcoming phones of 2020.

Legends of Runeterra Patch 0.9.0: Full Notes and Updates

With the passage of time, the Runeterra is getting interesting and exciting. Recently the first update of Legends of Runeterra’s open beta cards came. The new Riot Games digital card game brings adjustments to champions, followers, spells, XP, expedition rewards and more.

Here is the list of patch information for you to check.

Champions

Lux (Level one)

  • Power: Three  four
  • Health: Four  five

Lux’s weaker state made it a little too difficult to use her as a linchpin, “build-around-me” card, according to Riot. Buffing her stats will help her ability to both stick around as an engine and act as a meaningful threat on her own.

Lux (Level two)

  • Power: Four  five
  • Health: Five  six

Yasuo (Level two)

  • Level up: You Stun or Recall 6+ units  You Stun or Recall 5+ units

While testing Ionia changes internally, Riot found that Yasuo was catching collateral damage from changes aimed at elusive and handcuff decks. Inspiring Mentor was one of the best cards to use while leveling up Yasuo, and together with Deny would provide pivotal protection (extra important when heavily building around Yasuo).

Followers and Spells

Back to Back

  • Cost: Five  six

Back to Back can be a huge blowout Burst-speed trick that often leaves opponents without profitable avenues for playing around it. Riot likes this kind of effect, but such a swingy card ultimately warrants a higher cost.

Crimson Curator

  • Cost: Two  three

“Battle Scars” decks have been underperforming and the Noxus side of the theme has been a bit one-dimensional. Improving Crimson Curator should increase both options and viability for these decks.

Deny

  • Cost: Three  four

Deny is moving from watchlist to changelist after rigorous internal testing and debate. While there are good arguments for Deny to exist at three mana, ultimately it’s proven too prevalent and disruptive to the metagame, heavily restricting viable card options.

Inspiring Mentor

  • Health: One  two
  • Old text: Play: Grant an ally in hand + 1|1
  • New text: Play: Grant an ally in hand + 1|0

Inspiring Mentor was providing too much curve efficiency and resilience to Ionia decks, with the stats granted to the buffed unit often overly protecting them by putting them out of range of similarly-costed removal. Curving Inspiring Mentor into one or even two 4|3 Navori Conspirators was too powerful of a play pattern considering its consistency. With this change, Riot is ensuring an intended weakness of elusive units. Their low health can be more exploitable.

Jewelled Protector

  • Power: Three  four
  • Health: Three  four

Shifting power from Mentor to Protector (and into later parts of the game) should increase deckbuilding options and give opponents a bit more time to react or set up their own game plans.

Kinkou Lifeblade

  • Health: Three  two

One of the intended weaknesses of Elusive decks is that fast decks should be able to effectively race them, since Elusive units are naturally smaller and less cost-efficient. Kinkuo Lifeblade often closed that door on what should be a fundamental weakness of the deck

Commander Ledros

  • Cost: Eight  nine
  • Power: Eight  nine
  • Cost: Eight  nine

A card that does so much should incur a higher opportunity cost and provide opponents more room to win before and after it’s dropped, so Riot is bumping its cost up to nine, which will not only delay Ledros’ arrival but also allow less flexibility when recasting it.

Blade of Ledros

  • Cost: Seven  eight

Rhasa, the Sunderer

  • Cost: Seven  eight

Scuttlegeist

  • Keywords: None  [Fearsome]

Tortured Prodigy

  • Power: Three  four

Wraithcaller

  • Keywords: [Fearsome]  None

Watchlist

  • Fearsome and Control are on the LoR developers’ watchlist as potential problems. No changes were made during the open beta update. 

Clarity

  • Units with effects that allow opponent reactions now have a “Skills” icon next to “Play” or “Attack” in the card text.
    • Hovering on the icon will bring out a tooltip explaining that the Skill allows opponent reactions before resolving.
    • Units with effects that do not allow opponent reactions will not have this icon.
  • Created cards now have a tooltip that tells both players what created them.

Expeditions Archetypes

Demacian Steel

  • Added: Chain Vest

Battle Scars

  • Added: Might, Alpha Wildclaw
  • Removed: Blood for Blood, Bull Elnuk

Suit up

  • Added: Bull Elnuk
  • Removed: Alpha Wildclaw

Shroom and Boom

  • Added: Assembly Bot, Statikk Shock, Plaza Guardian
  • Removed: Academy Prodigy, Chempunk Shredder, Get Excited!
  • Shopkeeper trade logic improved.

XP and Expeditions rewards

  • End-of-trial XP reduced:
    • Zero wins: 100 → 50
    • One win: 300 → 150
    • Two wins: 500 → 250

    • Five wins: 1,200 → 800

  • Reduced XP adjustments for daily PVP wins—players will now receive more XP at high numbers of PVP wins in one day, and will always receive at least 100 XP for constructed PVP wins.
    • Base PVP win XP: 200 in Normal / Ranked, 100 in Expeditions (no change)
    • One to 10 wins: full XP (no change)
    • 11 to 15 wins: -50 XP → full XP
    • 16 to 20 wins: -100 XP (no change)
    • 21 to 30 wins: -150 XP → -100 XP
    • 31+ wins: -200 XP → -100 XP
  • Friend Challenge wins now grant 100 XP for the first five wins, and zero XP for 6+.
  • Friend Challenges losses/ties now grant 0 XP.
  • Friend Challenge matches no longer count towards daily PVP wins/losses or first wins of the day bonuses. They still count for quest progress.
  • Six-win Expeditions reward now 1,500 shards (was 1,000), as well as a random champion card and golden chest (unchanged).
  • Seven-win Expeditions reward now 3,000 shards (was 3,500), as well as a champion capsule (unchanged).

PC FPS options

  • On PC-only, Riot has added an FPS option in the settings menu. The drop-down has three settings:
    • 30/60, 60, 60+

Miscellaneous

  • Deckbuilder improvements
    • Mana curve now indicates number of cards at each cost.
    • Bugfix for “MAX” card count text not showing up.
    • Deck import & export now copies from/to device clipboard.
    • Minor visual polish and readability improvements.

    • Corrected a repeated grass texture on Summoner’s Rift board.
    • Cleaned up and reduced intensity of lens flare effect on Demacia board.

  • Claimable rewards on region roads now more strongly highlighted.
  • Patch sizes generally decreased.
  • Friend Challenge stability improvements.
  • Store now marked with a badge when new content is available.
  • League of Legends gift cards are now redeemable in LoR.
  • In-client messaging for maintenance updated for clarity.

The Dearth of Shooters on the Switch could Benefit Warface, says Dev

As we know that earlier this week the free FPS Warface was launched on Nintendo Switch with little fanfare and no prior announcements. It was a total astonishment moment and surprising for patrons.

Meanwhile Switch is not better known as a platform for online shooters. The developer My Games has now explained why he wanted to bring Warface to Switch.

Furthermore, the Global publishing chief Alexey Izotov gave his statement to GI.biz that the lack of many online shooters for Switch provides the opportunity for Warface to stand out.

While the statement is as following “The lack of online shooters on Switch is a big advantage for us,” he said. “We know this market very well, so we saw the opportunity to bring our experience in the FPS genre to this growing platform. We are also one of the few players in the market with continuously successful F2P games on consoles.”

Furthermore, the switch may not have a list of connected games as deep as those available on PS4 and Xbox One, but it has a series of monsters such as Fortnite and Overwatch, as well as Nintendo’s Splatoon 2.

Regarding the surprise release, Izotov said the studio wanted to show, not tell, and allow players to try the game immediately. “We decided that to speak properly about the game, we must be able to show it immediately,” Izotov said. “We wanted our community to see that we are interested in developing the Warface franchise on different platforms: PCs, home consoles, mobile devices and now Nintendo Switch. And the immediacy of being able to play immediately was very important for us.” ”

Warface is the first game developed with CryEngine to launch on Nintendo Switch. The Switch version was developed using a “very customized” version of the engine, according to GI.biz. The game has a lower resolution and frame rate on Switch, due to the power of the console in relation to PS4, Xbox One and PC, but Izotov said he is happy with what the team achieved.

“When we talk about PvP content, we rely on the following principles: stable frame rate, debugged network code and fixed resolution. The appearance of the game should not change depending on the amount of action on the screen. We believe we have accomplished this,” said. Finally, Izotov explained that my games are considering adding cross-play for Warface on PS4, Xbox One and Switch in the future.

iPhone Supplies Compromised While Apple Issues a Serious Warning

We believe that Apple company is having a really difficult week already and now it has worsened not only for Apple but also for millions of iPhone fans.

If you didn’t know about it then recently an Apple statement warns investors that the “global iPhone supply” has been affected by Coronavirus to the extent. While “it will affect worldwide revenues” and the company will no longer comply with its revenue guide from the second quarter of 2020.

Furthermore, the establishment also approves that iPhone demand has also been (understandably) affected in China. But it is not just the manufacture of recent iPhones that will suffer. While painting a darker image is a prominent Asian news site like Nikkei. it reveals that the launch of Apple’s new and exciting iPhone SE2 / iPhone 9 is now “likely” to be severely affected. But the real shock is that Nikkei says it could even affect the main launch of the iPhone 12 later this year.

According to the things are going off with a new Bloomberg report indicating that the next update of Apple iPad Pro could now also be in doubt due to the Coronavirus.

The site says Apple still supposes to launch the iPhone 9 in March “although the plans remain fluid.” In an attempt to mitigate this, Taiwan News entitlements that Apple has begun moving part of its manufacturing from China to Taiwan with AirPods, iPads and Apple Watch production among the first to leave.

Another statement stated that “Apple is trying to diversify its supply chain geographically due to the spread of the virus, which has seriously affected Apple’s production of products. It is estimated that at least one-third of China’s production lines will remain inactive in the first quarter of this year, “reveal its experts.

Apple has also been preparing updated iPad Pro models with a new camera system for the first half of 2020 and the virus may still impose delays or restrictions on those plans.

While “Suppliers are doing everything possible to produce and ship the iPhone [cheaper] in four weeks. The delay may not be too long, otherwise, it will affect the sales strategy of Apple’s new products in the second half this year, “revealed a Nikkei source with direct information of the staple. We hope that Apple overcomes these issues.

Redbox Offers Free Live TV With No Sign in Requirement: Check Out How to Avail

Way back in the 1990’s video rentals were the best places to get movies to binge-watch. However, the movie rental industry has been slowly become extinct due to the changes in technology.  

Some video rentals have been shut down. In 2017, about 86% of 15,300 video stores that were open in the United States.  One of the popular video rentals is RedBox. Unlike its competitors, it dares to enter the streaming market. Will it survive today’s competition?

Redbox, the video and game rental company is switching to a free streaming service platform. It’s now showing its fangs after video rentals have been declining at a steady rate. It’s mainly in line with the fact that renting videos, or DVDs are no longer a convenient option when the vast majority of consumers tend to stream or watch it online. As Redbox mainly focused its market on their video and game kiosks nationwide, it’s clear that this is not a time for it any longer.

Last December, the company confirmed it was indeed exiting the video game rental business, which prompted a large sale to clear most of the inventory space.  The change is indeed a pivot point for the video rental company as they now switch to the more modern age of TV, which is streaming, and they have recognized the potential in this market. Thankfully the transition is going smoothly with more devices and more shows to be added in the future.

How to watch Redbox?

You’re able to watch the ad-supported service for now with your browser or through the company’s dedicated iPhone and Android apps. Will come to more devices in the near future as they quietly launched this service for just a while back. You don’t even need to sign-in! The channels aren’t so special; however, it’s the choices that make you stay, same as other streaming sites.

What you can watch on Redbox?

It lets you choose from a number of genres like Comedy, National or World News, Favorites, and etc. TMZ, America’s Funniest Home Videos, Family Feud, and the like are what you can expect from the service FOR NOW. More to come is on the way, so just be patient if you’re into a freebie given to you from the company.

Redbox was able to fill the void when Sony’s own streaming service shut down a month ago, along with establishing itself as a streaming service worth the wait when the time comes. Not only do they just focus on their streaming service, but it lets you redeem reward points if you pay a little extra for a premium service. Use the reward points to get a discount if you’re an avid fan of DVD or Bluray, which is never a bad thing when you have a physical copy of your favorite movie.

Whatever the reason for the change of service, it is good to know that the company is not scared of investing in resources for the future. Which only means brighter things for the consumers and the company. Let us know in the comment sections about it.

New Modern Warfare Leak Warzone will be free-to-play, support 200 Players

The next Battle Royale mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been an open secret since basically before the game came to light: Battle Royale may not be the phenomenon that emerged when Black Ops 4 came out, but it’s still a force Important in the gaming industry.

Furthermore, a great opportunity for an existing first-person shooter. Recently, a series of leaks, data miners, and technical problems suggested that the mode would be called “War Zone”, and now a VGC report suggests that the release date could be a little further than people expected.

According to the report, citing industry sources says Warzone should be submitted in early March. Since Call of Duty is updated on Tuesdays, that probably means March 3 or March 10.

This is not verified, so definitely take it with a grain of salt. But it is also one of those rumors that exchange what we can probably guess: Warzone will almost definitely come out in season 2, and early March is not a bad guess considering that it is not being promoted at this time.

Interestingly, the report also says that Warzone will be released as a free independent game, allowing it to compete in an arena dominated by the Fortnite and Apex legends. Players will have the opportunity to upgrade to Modern Modern Warfare if they wish.

When things get going, it sounds a little crazy. The basic bones are quite standard: placing, looting, moving to a smaller and smaller playing area, etc. It is beyond that where things get interesting. It is intended to admit up to 200 players, twice the gender standard of 100. What happens on a massive map large enough to contain existing Ground War maps within it, in addition to some other things.

There is also this wrinkle of the Gulag: defeated players will be sent to a Gulag where they can participate in 1-on-1 fighting to return to the game. There may also be killstreaks, as well as a “looting” system to bring consistent currency between matches.

It seems that some of the biggest changes in the basic formula we’ve seen since PUBG took off for the first time, and it also seems like a lot to follow. For a long time, I have argued that Battle Royale is basically a mini-MMO, and this certainly fits perfectly. Again, all this is not confirmed, there is even much evidence in the new update. We will see what happens in March.
