Waiting for Xbox Series X ??? , the launch date is conformed for November 2020

 


The Xbox Series X, Microsoft’s next-generation game console, is set to officially launch in November. The high-profile console will go on sale during the 2020 Holiday season, although there is still no information on pricing. The Xbox Series X will compete with Sony’s PlayStation 5, which is also on track to launch during the 2020 holiday season.
The Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said the Xbox Series X will be able to run “thousands of games spanning four generations" including 100 titles “optimized for Xbox Series X”. Microsoft says more than 50 new games are planned for the Xbox Series X this year, including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Dirt 5, Gears Tactics, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Watch Dogs: Legion, among others. However, the console’s big launch title 343 Industries’ Halo Infinite, will be delayed till 2021. Microsoft was originally targeting to release Halo Infinite in late 2020. The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s most ambitious game console to date. The console looks like a tall, rectangular box, though it can be laid down flat. The Xbox Series X is also getting a refreshed game controller. The next-generation console includes a custom processor, a new SSD for storage, and upgraded performance over the existing Xbox One X. It also supports 120fps gaming and raytracing for realistic environments. The Xbox Series X will support backward compatibility across all previous generation consoles.
The launch of Xbox Series X and PS5 comes at an interesting time. With more people spending time indoors during the pandemic, there has been an increase in sales of games and consoles. However, there has been increased pressure on both Sony and Microsoft to price their next consoles on the lower side. So far, most rumors put both PS5 and Xbox Series X retail price over $500.Both PS5 and Xbox Series X will be joined by cheaper versions of consoles later this year. Microsoft will reportedly launch the Xbox Series S — a lower-tier version of the Xbox Series X – later this month. Meanwhile, Sony has already announced the PS5 Digital Edition, which is basically a disk-less console.

Neuralink: Elon Musk unveils pig with chip in its brain

  Elon Musk has unveiled a pig called Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in her brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface. "It's kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires," the billionaire entrepreneur said on a webcast. His start-up Neuralink applied to launch human trials last year. The interface could allow people with neurological conditions to control phones or computers with their minds. Mr.Musk argues such chips could eventually be used to help cure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. But the long-term ambition is to usher in an age of what Mr.Musk calls "superhuman cognition", in part to combat artificial intelligence so powerful he says it could destroy the human race. Elon Musk reveals brain-hacking plans Gertrude was one of three pigs in pens that took part in Friday's webcast demo. She took a while to get going, but when she ate and sniffed ...

Safari to support password-less logins

Safari 14, the version of Apple’s browser that will ship with iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, will let you use Face ID or Touch ID to log in to websites built to support the feature. The functionality was confirmed in the browser’s beta release notes, and Apple has detailed how the feature works in a WWDC video for developers. The functionality is built on the Web Authn component of the FIDO2 standard, developed by the FIDO Alliance. It should make logging into a website as easy as logging into an app secured with Touch ID or Face ID.WebAuthn is an API that aims to make web logins simpler and more secure. Unlike passwords, which are often easily guessed and vulnerable to phishing attacks, WebAuthn uses public key cryptography and can use security methods like biometrics or hardware security keys to verify your identity. It’s a standard that individual websites need to add support for, but being supported by the stock browser in iOS has the potential to be a major boost for adoption.This isn’...
