Battlefield series is alive and well, unlike some other multiplayer shooters (khe khe CoD khe khe Black Ops khe khe). After a pretty great Battlefield 1 from 2016, DICE, the creators of the series, bring us the first appetizer for sequel. Trailer starts as a cinematic, action-filled show based on game’s engine only to make a pretty seamless transition to quazi-gameplay (because come on, game will NOT be as cool as this) in the middle. It all looks pretty great, and there is a lot of hype going on, buuuuut… large number of people online took to complaining about it. Their ...

Now that the clickbait title is out of the way, lets get to the meat of the post. British government has the right/wrong idea to curb the popularity of pornographic websites among the adolescents. In order to do so, they devised a plan to limit the access to XXX sites by implementing special codes neccessary in order to enter them. These 16-digit tokens could be bought at kiosks, of course only after presenting the shopkeep with an identification card. This method has been accepted by the government and will be implemented soon, even though it has a vocal number of critics believing that it ...

Everyone knows reCAPTCHA, even if not everyone recognizes it by name. It is that annoying window at the end of many registration processes, the one that tells you to type in characters shown in the picture or answer a question. The creator of this little monster – a useful one, but still a monster – Google, has reportedly decided that reCAPTCHA is too annoying and have almost finished their work on the new version of the program. reCAPTCHA 3 is all about working in the background without being seen. The program can determine whether the applicant is a bot or a living human based ...

Lenovo vice president Chang Cheng (awesome name) has released a teaser of what seemingly is the company’s new smartphone. This new device’s main selling post seems to be its large display. According to Mr. Cheng’s claims, this device’s screen to body ratio will be 95%, highest ever. Interesting. 95% is much higher than the currently highest 84.9% belonging to Essential Phone.Time will tell if this bold claim has any truth behind it or is just a marketing ...

Nothing much, just another WhatsApp glitch. Happens. This time whenever you send or receive a message that contains emoji/s, a mysterious black dot can appear in the middle of your screen. If you touch the screen when that icon’s there, the whole app will freeze and you will need to restart it in order to continue. Tech-savvy folks have already figured out why does this happen – long story short, whenever this icon’s on, there is over a two thousand icons hidden in the message. Overload of signs upon entering it causes the application to freeze solid.Google is seemingly ...

As it turns out, there is at least some truth to them; according to Bloomberg, Facebook is discretely gathering data on whether or not would a subscribed Facebook be a success. This has a double goal: first, to allow FB to make more money and second, to see whether or not are people willing to pay for removing ads. It has been reported that a relatively large number of Facebook users leave the website due to the growing amount of ads (something that I personally ...

All 330 million Twitter accounts have recently had their passwords exposed due to an error in hashing process (the thing that turns your password into a random string of numbers and letters). This in turn has caused user passwords stored in an internal log to go unmasked for a moment. Twitter claims that the glitch was fixed immediately and that there were no signs of a breach. Still, it may be a good idea to change your password just in case. Tweet Vote on HN ...
