At first glance, the image looks like any other JPEG file. But buried within it is an EXE file. UK cybersecurity firm Sophos says this process is called steganography. And more often than not, the hidden EXE file will be a Trojan known as Forshare. This is usually used to ensure the embedded Monero cryptocurrency miners are running. Those running the botnet have earned about 9000 XMR which is estimated to be worth around US$3 million (~RM12....

The new report states that Motive Studios is taking notes from Capcom. More specifically, its Resident Evil series starting with the Resident Evil 2 Remake. Motive will use the original Dead Space as a strong foundation, while adding modern visuals and mechanics from later entries in the series. In other words, the reboot will come via a remake of the original game. GamesBeat goes as far as to say that the Resident Evil 2 Remake, and its success, is the motivating factor behind the Dead Space remake....

According to a leak shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the allegedly upcoming midranger chipset will be known as the Dimensity 7000. It is said to be built on the TSMC 5nm FinFET process, where the central processing unit (CPU) consists of two clusters with four cores each. The first four cores feature ARM’s Cortex-A78 microarchitecture which runs at 2.75GHz, while the other consists of Cortex-A55 cores that run at 2....

If the name Croteam sounds familiar, that’s because the studio is the one behind one of the gaming world’s most famous video game series, Serious Sam. First released in 2001, the developer released a total of five Serious Sam titles, the most recent title being Serious Sam 4, which launched this September. Besides that, Croteam is also responsible for the puzzle game, The Talos Principle. Seeing how Devolver Digital is the publisher that helped Croteam to get both its Serious Sam franchise and The Talos Principle out to the world, officially bringing the video game developer into the family both seems like the sensible and logical next step, and the publisher’s tongue-in-cheek message more or less confirms the point....

Critics consensus on Rotten Tomatoes: Dolittle may be enough to entertain very young viewers, but they deserve better than this rote adaptation’s jumbled story and stale humor. Not going to lie, I’m still looking forward to this film, mainly for Robert Downey Jr. The man hasn’t been the leading man in anything outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2014’s The Judge. At this point, I’m certain that RDJ doesn’t just play Tony Stark, he literally is Tony Stark, so it’ll be interesting to see him try and convince us otherwise....

In regards to the new widescreen rendering support, Bethesda says that the new feature has been modified to render at 16:9 without any letterboxing. This increases the game’s field-of-view (FOV) by default, allowing the display on your phone to reveal more image on the side and comes with a new titlescreen, intermission, and ending screens. As for the refresh rate, Bethesda has increased the refresh rate cap to 120Hz, for smartphones with displays capable of supporting the ultra refresh rate....

A video popped up on the internet showing a driverless car being stopped by San Francisco police. The car belongs to Cruise, a self-driving car company based in the same city, and its autonomous Chevrolet Bolt EV. It is assumed that the car was being stopped because its headlights were not turned on, despite it being around and about at night. Cue slight bewilderment as someone can be heard saying “ain’t nobody in it”....

Given its success on PC and consoles, it’s only natural that Apex Legends makes its way to mobile. Nevertheless, the game will be competing against two other giants of the battle royale genre – Fortnite and PUBG – which were also well received by mobile gamers. However, EA didn’t reveal the release timeline for the mobile game during the earnings call though. For now, let’s hope that EA and Respawn are able to bring the same level of excitement from the desktop and console variant of the game to the mobile version as well....

Eurogamer reports a number of changes to the game that’s not mentioned in the official FIFA 21 patch notes. For one, the FIFA Playtime feature can tell you not only the amount of time you spent in the game, but also the number of FIFA Points you spent. One caveat here is that it doesn’t differentiate points bought with money and those awarded via gameplay. But on the flip side, the FIFA Playtime feature also lets you limit the amount of points you can buy....

For the most part, most of the claims that Epic Games has made in its initial lawsuit has been thrown out. The one important exception is that, as part of the ruling, Apple must now allow app makers to direct users to other payment options outside of the App Store’s systems. This is in contrast to the company’s usual practice of not allowing apps to point to payment methods elsewhere outside of the app, also termed anti-steering....

The RTX 4090 FTW3 card was showcased on the channel of TechTuber JayzTwoCents, who claims that EVGA had delivered the prototype card to him directly, and it is beyond a shadow of a doubt, one massive piece of hardware. For that matter, it also gives us an idea of what the brand would have released, had it not decided to abruptly exit the market. As a quick recap for those of you who have been living under a rock: approximately two months ago, EVGA announced suddenly that it was leaving the graphics card market after more than 20 years in the market, and that NVIDIA was to blame for its decision....

It’s easy to see why exclusives are usually not a beneficial thing for gamers in general. Especially for us here in Malaysia where, at least on the console front, it’s a de facto PlayStation exclusive market anyway – imports notwithstanding. Platform exclusives were a thing back in the day because video game consoles were very different from one another. This meant that they processed graphics and sound very differently as well....

In its official statement, Facebook says that GIPHY will be absorbed and made a part of the brand’s Instagram division. That said, GIF library is expected to maintain its own branding, much in the same Facebook has allowed Instagram and its messaging service, WhatsApp, to operate with what is believed to be a relatively high level of autonomy. Even before the acquisition, GIPHY was already widely used on Facebook and has been for the last several years....

On Sunday, China reported more than 1,800 cases across the country, with 60 of them in Shenzhen. While the number may seem minuscule, the country has a very strict zero-COVID policy which may have triggered the massive countermeasure. Mass testing in Shenzhen. [Image: IC / Global Times.]Located next to Hong Kong, Shenzhen is not only the home to major Chinese tech companies such as Huawei, OPPO, OnePlus, DJI, ZTE, and many more, but also hosts many factories that belong to large-scale tech suppliers and contract manufacturers....

The irony is obviously not lost on the affected employees. They have also made their grievances known to the public through the Game Workers Unite Twitter account. And it’s a long string of tweets too, starting with this one: We, the workers of Activision and their friends, have had enough. Join us in saying that it’s time to #FireBobbyKotick. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 — Game Workers Unite ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 (@GameWorkers) February 13, 2019 The string of tweets points out a few interesting bits of information, such as Bobby Kotick’s supposed pay of US$30 million (~RM122 million) a year....

Unlike the Zotac AMP EXTREME Airo RTX 4090 card that was leaked, the images this round only seem to show the packaging for the Gigabyte branded NVIDIA flagship. However, despite the lack of an actual card, the box does still contain the usual branding and features that are usually plastered across it. — Алексей (@wxnod) September 13, 2022 For starters, and as with all of Gigabyte cards under the Gaming OC line, this RTX 4090 is very obviously going to be a real chonker, both in length and girth....

One of the key components of Assignments is called “Originality Reports”. This is basically the plagiarism checker that is used to check for improper paraphrasing or missing citations. This allows educators to check a submission against “hundreds of billions of web pages” and “tens of millions of books”. This saves them from having to copy and paste lines into Google Search to check for them manually. Fortunately for honest students, they will also have access to this tool....
