As the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have reached the final stretch of their lives. Soon, Microsoft and Sony will launch the next generation of consoles. It is surely be loaded with new features, as well as significant improvements in processing power to run the latest video games. Sounds interesting? Isn’t it? But wait there’s more.  

While none of the systems will be launched until the end of 2020, but we have some inside information that leaks about what we can expect from them.

From hardware to games, we have compared the Xbox Series X with the PS5 so you can better judge which system to buy on launch day. PS5 Vs Xbox Series X console specifications: which one is better? Well, although it is still a touch too soon to say it definitively, we have some details and specifications that we can use to create a limited comparison between the next two next-generation consoles.

After Sony unveiled some of the first details about the next generation of PlayStation 5 at the end of April and Microsoft released the first details of its vision for the next generation of Xbox. The code name Project Scarlett on E3 2019, we certainly know more than we knew at the beginning of the year. Especially now that at the 2019 Game Awards, Microsoft presented its next console: the Xbox Series X.

What are the features in Ps5 and Xbox?  

PS5 GPU along with its gigantic CPU, PS5 also features cutting-edge AMD Navi technology in regards to its GPU. When taken in conjunction with the CPU, this not only means that the PS5 is capable of generating incredible images with a resolution of 8K, but is also fully capable of generating all kinds of sophisticated effects (such as hardware ray tracing) at high resolutions, too. A recent report has even linked that the PS5 GPU can also beat the new GTX 2070 Super PC graphics card, a great feat!

According to a recent AMD leak, the PS5 is linked to 9.2 Teraflops. It is worth remembering that an AMD Navi Teraflop is much more efficient than a Teraflop of the current generation, so the comparison is really not valid in this regard. And once again, the latest-generation consoles have much more than just Teraflops, since other hardware innovations, such as super-fast and low-level SSDs.

While the Xbox X Series GPUs and visuals are apparently at the same level as the PS5, Project Scarlett will also feature AMD silicon for its GPU, with AMD Navi technology that allows 8K images, 4K images at 60/120 frames per second, Lightning tracing in real-time (Microsoft went one step further by stating that lightning tracing would be hardware accelerated), resulting in a machine that is four times more powerful than Xbox One X. Only time will tell, or of course, everything could be a burden of techno-bull. This seems like a tie to us. Let’s wait for an official launch! Stay tuned for more official updates.

The Escobar Fold 2 is a “legitimate” folding phone with an odd similarity to the Samsung Galaxy Fold and priced at $ 399. Launched by the “technology company” of Roberto Escobar, who debuted with a smartphone with imitation Flexpai last year. Escobar Fold 2 is a direct excavation in Samsung, promising to “ruin the great brand”. Roberto believes that these brands rob ordinary people.

The Pablo Escobar Fold 2, according to a press conference, it was designed in the USA. Assembled in Hong Kong, with parts from China. It comes with a virtually identical design compared to the Galaxy Fold, and even has the same specifications, including the processor and screen quality, and images, even the same number of cameras. Although Escobar’s website only lists 5 of them, while the Galaxy Fold has 6. In the style of Escobar, the phone comes with a gold back plate with the Pablo Escobar logo stamped on it. He even celebrates the famous Colombian capo with his preloaded police photo as the device’s wallpaper.

It seems that the Galaxy Fold clone launched by Roberto Escobar has almost all the same specifications as the Samsung Galaxy Fold.

Here are the specific specifications:

• Main screen measuring 7.3 inches

• 4,380 mAh battery

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor

• Android 10 operating system

A larger version of the Pablo Escobar Fold 2 has more RAM at 12 GB and 512 GB storage, is priced at $ 549. The Pablo Escobar Fold 2 will be formally released to the public in March 2020. However, it is believed that Escobar, Inc will accept advance orders.

Pablo’s brother, Roberto Escobar, closed horns with big companies like Apple and even with operators after launching Escobar Fold 1. His idea was to build a strong, safe and surprisingly cheap phone designed to train its users with high technology, without the warnings Escobar states that their phones work safely, with the promise of never sharing user data with any government. He even filed a class-action lawsuit of $ 30 billion against Apple for scamming its users by taking their money and data. In addition, the phone description on the website literally says “REST IN PEACE SAMSUNG, PAUL ALWAYS WINS”.

The tech Chinese TCL electronics group of the company will stop manufacturing BlackBerry-branded smartphones this year, the companies said on Monday, that without clarifying whether that will be the end of the line for phones that were once dominant.

At the end of August, TCL will no longer have the rights to design, manufacture or sell BlackBerry smartphones, the Canadian company said in a message shared on Twitter.

“The future is bright for both TCL Communication and BlackBerry Limited, and we hope they continue to support both as we move forward in our respective paths,” the publication said.

While, BlackBerry, based in Canada, licensed its smartphone technology to TCL in 2016 in an effort to revive its fortune in a smartphone market now dominated by Apple and Android phones. BlackBerry did not reveal any plans for the future of its smartphone line that was once dominant.

Furthermore, the Key2 model smartphones presented in 2018 were still being promoted on the BlackBerry website on Monday. TCL introduced Key2 in mid-2018, combining a physical keyboard with a 4.5-inch screen and powered by the Google-backed Android operating system.

BlackBerry’s participation in the global smartphone market has fallen to almost zero since it dominated the market with its physical keyboard design a decade ago. The rise of phones with Apple iOS and Android with touch screens and “applications for that” led BlackBerry to leave the market to focus on software and services.

Under its agreement with TCL, BlackBerry maintains software control and security on smartphones, while TCL produced the phones, abandoning the old BlackBerry operating system software. TCL also produces smartphones under the Alcatel brand.

Elon Musk has expressed his concern about the “serious problem” of cryptocurrency scams on Twitter. The CEO of Tesla has been the constant target of scammers in recent years, who use fake accounts to impersonate him and trick people into sending them cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum.

Furthermore, scams generally involve fake accounts with “gifts,” which require people to send cryptocurrencies to a digital address to receive a larger amount in return.

“The crypto scam level on Twitter is reaching new levels. This is not cool,” he tweeted to his 31 million followers. While “Troll/bot networks on Twitter are a dire problem for adversely affecting public discourse and ripping people off.” Furthermore, he has urged followers to report any suspicious activity as soon as they see it in order to prevent people from falling for the scams.

“Trolls/bots just need to be deemphasized relative to probably real people who aren’t being paid to push an agenda or scam,” he wrote. “Google still shows bs/scam pages, they’re just several clicks away.”

The issue was raised at a recent employee conference at Twitter when Elon Musk appeared via video link to answer to Jack Dorsey’s question about how to improve the platform.

Musk said it would be helpful to differentiate between real and fake users in order to protect the integrity of Twitter and restore trust in its users. “Basically, how do you tell if the feedback is real or someone trying to manipulate the system, or probably trying to manipulate the system,” he said.

Twitter has established rules to prevent its users from being supplanted and claims to have taken strong measures against scams by implementing several tools.

“We are constantly adapting to the evolving methods of bad actors, and we have made improvements in the fight against cryptocurrency scams on the platform,” a spokesman told The Independent.

“If we see content that violates our Financial Scam Policy, we take action. We will continue to iterate and improve this policy and the industry will evolve.”

In a new Blizzard update, the company aptitudes to continue supporting Warcraft 3: Reforged for a long time. Refunds are also instant now.

Even if you’re not a Warcraft or Activision Blizzard fan, it’s probably impossible to ignore the release of Warcraft 3: Reforged last week.

While the activation Blizzard, a highly anticipated update of one of the best real-time strategy titles for games, triggered the launch with such force that the relaunch has become the game with the lowest rating for users in Metacritic. That answer may be hyperbolic, but the game is not in good condition.

Wishing to prevent this violent reaction from getting out of control, Blizzard has made a quick update on its official website. In a publication entitled “Warcraft III: Reforged Developer Update”, the company apologized to fans for providing a below-average experience and promises to improve things. By not directly addressing the multitude of problems noted, the blog states that some updates will reach Reforged in the near and distant future.

Furthermore, “The team is excited that Warcraft III: Reforged is finally upon us and we are fully committed to supporting the game for a long time,” the publication says. “The next patches and updates that we will discuss below are only part of our ongoing plans.” Remarkably, the first thing in the file is to fix the images in classic mode, a concern that nobody has seen.

Another statement stated that “We didn’t want the scenes in the game to get too far from the original game. We went a little deeper into the thought process behind that in the program,” the update says, “but the main conclusion is that the campaigns tell one of the classic stories in the history of Warcraft, and we want to preserve the true spirit of Warcraft III and allow players to relive these unforgettable moments as they were. ” That makes no sense with what was promoted.

Not many of us are aware of what exactly is Super Bowl squares pool? How can we run and play it correctly? Here’s our step by step guide for you.

The Super Bowl squares are a game of chance in which people can buy squares in a grid, each of which is assigned two numbers. These numbers correspond to the given value of the table in the X and Y coordinates (or horizontal and vertical). This sounds exciting and more complicated than it is. But don’t you worry as we got you covered.

How to play and what are the rules for the Super Bowl run?

It’s pretty simple to start just make a square. Then divide that square into 10 rows and 10 columns. (If you want a larger group of squares, you can go up to 100 x 100 for a grid, but if you are running a serious and massive group, I doubt you need to explain how to run it). There are different ways of playing, but generally, the x-axis is applied to one team, and the y-axis is applied to the other team.

Participants can buy squares on the board. People do not know what number they will be assigned; they are only buying the opportunity to own a square and can buy as many as you want to limit. In a 10 × 10 grid, obviously, there are 100 squares available to buy.

You can sell squares for the amount you want and limit the number of people who can buy if you think it is convenient.

Furthermore, when the names are assigned in random squares, randomly assign the numbers from 1 to 10 to the rows and columns.  While most people divide the scores by quarter, half and then the final score. The pot can be divided as you want.

A popular way to do this is 50% of the jackpot for the final score, 30% for the part-time score and then 10% for the 1st and 3rd quarter scores, but it’s entirely up to you. Some people only make 25% of the pot after each of the four quarters.

Whereas the way to find a winner is whoever the square correctly matches the digits of each team’s score. So, if the score after the first quarter is 14-10 Patriots, the player with a square that matches 4 in the Patriots column and 0 in the Rams column will win that quarter. Each quarter gives you a new chance to win. Sounds fun-filled? Right! Go and play this wonderful super Bowl run with friends.
