The saddest part is that Google itself is guilty for Stadia’s failure with its lack of transparency and…

Genuinely enhanced version with the original essence. Video games are being remastered to the point of almost making us desensitized. One can hardly be surprised with one of the oldies getting an enhancement, a remake, or reboot. A few of such titles have made our hearts skip a beat, but many failed to justify the excitement. Command & Conquer and C&C: Red Alert fall into a category of long-awaited remasters that awoke that inner kid we all hide inside. And that kid got so emotional and nostalgic that the Petroglyph and Electronic Arts had almost an impossible task to fulfill.…

This is where the players need to loot each other for weapons and ultimately kill each other until and unless there is only one…

To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, checks the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cooks “sitting is the new coolness” line. To its detractors, love at first sight must be an illusion – the wrong term for what is simply infatuation, or a way to sugarcoat lust. Best Chromebook: Google…

Data breaches in the cloud are becoming more and more worryingly common. While these breaches are often caused by human error and not necessarily opportunistic hackers, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be taking steps to prevent them. If you’ve got sensitive data that you need to move or store in the cloud, you should be making sure that it’s as safe and secure as possible. It wouldn’t do for your data to fall into the wrong hands, and it especially wouldn’t do for that to be something you could have prevented. That’s where the cloudAshur Encrypted Cloud Module comes in.…

The Twitch Frontier Twitch is fast becoming one of the new “It” social media options of 2020. Though it’s been around a number of years, mainstream applicability is beginning to burgeon here.
