If you haven’t experienced it, the fault occurs sometimes in Joy-Con that have been in use for a while. The Switch will react as if the thumbstick is being moved even when it’s not being touched, which can obviously cause some gameplay problems. The so-called “Joy-Con drift” has never really been explained. Is it the result of a hardware problem or stress from use? Nintendo isn’t saying, and I can’t even find a reliable source who knows what part of the Joy-Con causes the drift....

As you’d expect from any ID Software title released during that era, the plot was fairly simple: you’re stranded on an alien planet, and as the sole survivor of an invasion force, you’ve got to murder anything that moves. Quake 2 was about as cerebral as a Dolph Lundgren film, but we loved it anyway. Feeling nostalgic yet? Well, I’ve got some good news for you: graphics card titan Nvidia has built a demo remake of Quake 2, designed to show off the company’s RTX ray-tracing technology....

When the company launched the OnePlus 7T last month, a lot of people asked, “Why there’s no pro version?” After this launch, they might ask, “Why is there is a pro version?” I can redirect you to our OnePlus 7 Pro article and save myself a lot of work, because honestly, I don’t have much to say. The only thing that has changed is the processor, and it’s a very minor bump from Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 to 855+....

But what about other large, globally operating, online marketplaces? How are they coping in wake of corona? [Read: Robinhood traders are loading up on these stocks while markets are plunging] Let’s look at the global, 5-year search data for these global players — AliExpress, Asos, eBay, Etsy, and Zalando — and check if their recent data breaks with the usual trend. AliExpress – 50% less search interest in a matter of weeks Asos – 32% less search interest in a matter of weeks eBay – 14% less search interest in a matter of weeks Etsy – 30% less search interest in a matter of weeks Zalando – 24% less search interest in a matter of weeks The declines in interest shouldn’t come as a surprise at a time when people are uncertain about their jobs and financial prospects due to lockdowns to combat the spread of the virus....

Sam Altman, the CEO of artificial intelligence research lab OpenAI, created another financial stream yesterday by offering to fund COVID-19 projects. In a blogpost announcing his plan, Altman said that as there will soon be enough testing capacity, he is seeking startups that could quickly produce a lot of ventilators, masks or gowns, screening existing drugs for effectiveness, novel approaches to vaccines, and new therapeutics that big pharma companies are unlikely to develop....

The company posted a video on Twitter that shows a camera ‘hidden’ beneath the display near the top bezel. It’s safe to assume that the company will soon release a handset with this tech on board in the near future. You are taking a very first look at our under-display selfie camera technology. RT! ? pic.twitter.com/FrqB6RiJaY — OPPO (@oppo) June 3, 2019 However, Oppo‘s not the only company working on under-display camera technology....

A local politician was caught praising an aircraft pilot for using their “presence of mind” to narrowly avoid what could’ve been a disastrous collision with a truck. The politician even shared a video of the occurrence. But there’s a catch: the footage wasn’t real – it was an outtake from Rockstar’s iconic game Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V). “Narrow escape of an aircraft which could have ended in a great disaster,” tweeted Secretary General of Pakistan Awami Tehreek, Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, on July 5....

Hooray! Surviving Mars is an experience unlike any other. Equal parts survival game and city-builder (you get to build the beautiful Martian colony of your dreams but if you screw up everyone dies), the game tasks you with exploiting the red planet on behalf of your sponsors. The news: long-time Paradox Interactive fans already know the drill. A typical Paradox DLC expansion usually involves a plethora of updates including new mechanics and entirely new ways of playing the game....

The first principle calls for servicepeople to “exercise appropriate levels of judgment and care” when using AI systems, a requirement that is open to numerous interpretations. It sets the tone for the ambiguous language that follows throughout the guidelines. The Department of Defense (DOD) states that all AI capabilities “will have explicit, well-defined uses” subject to ongoing testing, but there are no restrictions on how the technology can be used in warfare....

Fret no more. Today Adobe gave us a sneak peek at a new AI-powered ‘Object Selection’ tool coming to Photoshop that makes selecting particular subjects easier than ever. The new feature lives alongside the magic wand and quick selection tools and is presented as a simple rectangle marquee. All you have to do is roughly cover your intended subject with the rectangle and Photoshop will automatically puzzle out what you’re trying to select....

Reports of Pride’s cancellation are greatly exaggerated. The annual celebration may not feature the parades and vivacious crowds it’s become known for, but it’s still here and it’s still queer. You’ll just have to attend most of the events online. COVID-19 and civil unrest over the murder of George Floyd have taken Pride parades off the streets for the first time in its 50 year history. This is a bitter pill for the queer community....

While the game is already a hit on PS4 and Xbox One, the Windows release is a big deal, not just because it’ll bring in a huge new wave of players, but also because this version will look better than it ever has. The PC version is getting HDR support, unlocked resolution of 4K and above, support for ultrawide aspect ratios and multi-monitor setups, and unlocked frame rates. PC Gamer noted that trees, shadows, and other visual elements are being improved as well....

The pilot program currently allows for people in three cities in the state of Maharashtra — Navi Mumbai, Thane and Kalyan — to browse and order groceries for pickup from neighborhood stores, all via WhatsApp. Here’s how it works: You’ll need to first text “Hi” to +91 8850008000 on WhatsApp; JioMart will then send you a link to sign up and place an order for staples like pulses, wheat flour, spices, coffee, and corn flakes....

Many articles in the popular and academic press assert that digital technology is to blame. Some experts, including those recently featured in stories by major news outlets, state that excessive use of digital technology is clearly linked to psychological distress in young people. To deny this connection, according to a prominent proponent of the link, is akin to denying the link between human activity and climate change. In an effort to protect young people from the harms of digital tech, some politicians have introduced legislation that would, among other things, automatically limit users’ time spent on a social media platform to 30 minutes a day....

There’s growing concern about new security threats that arise from machine learning models becoming an important component of many critical applications. At the top of the list of threats are adversarial attacks, data samples that have been inconspicuously modified to manipulate the behavior of the targeted machine learning model. Adversarial machine learning has become a hot area of research and the topic of talks and workshops at artificial intelligence conferences....

In this area, the Solar54 project will carry out a series of studies and tests of the different variables that will determine the human colonization of Mars. It seeks to recreate the environment of Mars so that space agencies from all around the globe can run tests and train their crews for future missions to the red planet. The site is made up of six domes: three for accommodation, cooking, and crew recreation, one for plant production in a hydroponic system, one for Cubesats satellites, and a central dome that will be used as a general laboratory and ground station for satellite communication....

Online hate groups are a scourge that, according to the researchers, thrives due to the formation of networked “cluster groups.” Traditional studies have focused on the individuals that comprise hate groups or the ideologies they support, but this study focused on the “network of networks” that binds hate groups across the globe regardless of their geographic location. Credit: Johnson et. al, The results of their comprehensive study into hate groups on Facebook and VKontakte indicates that, due to these clusters, hate groups are incredibly hard to weed out....

The V50 Pro takes aim at the GoPro Hero 7 Black, but costs half as much. The Special Edition brings 4K video at 60 frames per second and more batteries and accessories to the table. And it’s worth mentioning that a portion of every sale benefits The Center For Outdoor Ethics’ “Leave No Trace” campaign. Specifications: Video Resolution: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Video Format: MOV (H....

Other firms such as Vivo, Oppo, and Realme have joined in the last few years. So, why do OnePlus have to feel like the guy in the “They Don’t Know” meme? The company has finally launched its first wearable, the OnePlus Band, in India at a price of ₹2,499 ($34). A rather basic affair, it falls under the same category and budget range as the Mi Band 5. I’ve been using this band for more than a week, and while it’s a promising product, it has some first-version jitters....

The OnePlus Buds Pro, the company’s first model with noise-canceling — which are clearly ‘inspired’ by the AirPods Pro — finally get it right. Well, mostly. But at $150, it’s hard to fault them. They’re pretty comfortable The OnePlus Buds Pro are shaped a lot like the AirPods Pro, with their angled, oval ear tips and a long stem. Also like the AirPods Pro, the OnePlus Buds Pro aren’t trying to create the deepest, tightest seal, instead of focusing on providing an inoffensive fit that should work for most people....
