We are currently living in stressful times. Times where you just want to sleep forever. It's depressing when one has to wake up, and experience the same pain every day for the rest of his life. Thus, amidst all of this suffering and pain, people seek help to flee from their demons. But it hurts more when there's no one around, or when everyone just decides to turn their back on you. Only those who experienced such thing are aware of what I'm talking about. So, what's the solution when humans cannot stand hearing someone's pain? It's simple, they seek Artificial Intelligent applications.

Gaming is on the rise. Each day people are getting into competitive games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, Valorant, and Apex Legends. To excel in such games, one has to have the best accessories such as a gaming keyboard, mouse, headset...etc. A gamer usually uses these accessories to perform better than other players who are using a cheap, and generic keyboard. Telling someone that a gaming keyboard gives you an advantage over using a regular keyboard may seem like a fairy tale. Especially for someone who never used one before of course. No worries, this article is created for the purpose of showing the difference between a gaming keyboard vs a normal keyboard. Fast Response Time Gaming keyboards have less input lag/latency when compared to regular keyboards. While the difference isn't much when using a high-end regular keyboard, having fast response time gives you an advantage. Especially if you're a highly competitive person, or like to write quickly on the keyboard when either chatting or playing video games. Give it a go I'd say. Play CS: GO using both a normal/gaming keyboard, and you'll notice the difference. Comfortability Due to gaming keyboards having multiple designs, they tend to be way comfortable than a regular keyboard. They generally tend to be more heavy and robust. This, in particular, means that you won't find the keyboard sliding around each time you're using it, especially in heavy use such as gaming or coding. Also, Gaming keybo Read the full article

Revealed to the public in June 202 at WWDC, macOS Big Sur was Apple’s new version of macOS that took the first spot in the macOS 11 line up. Apple’s new macOS brought massive changes to the operating system in features, performance, and visuals with updates to a lot of built-in apps, especially Safari. There are several notable key feature enhancements, and Apple has done it in a way to give a fresh new look to macOS while retaining familiarity.

The new macOS features a redesigned icon with rounded corners that are also uniform with all built-in icons. Windows also have a lighter appearance, with rounded edges.

In the racing community, the amount of games that are realistic or even worth playing is a handful. At least that's what I heard. One of such titles is Assetto Corsa, which with its realistic physics, and the ability to modify your vehicle to the smallest detail, plays a huge part for players looking for a realistic experience. And when you add the ability to add mods, such as tracks, cars, and other assets, currently only available on PC, you get a whole different experience. Recently, the studio had also released another title, Assetto Corsa Competizione, which offers cars that are either street illegal or extremely rare. Does it live up to its predecessor? Let's take a look. Before that, let us mention that the game was released a year earlier on the PC compared to its console versions. As we mentioned, the AC series and titles actually live up to a very high standard. Most enthusiast racing gamers often recommend AC, due to realistic handling and physics. There have also been very few titles which even come close to competing with them. For this review, we will be mainly focusing on the PS4 version. To be fair, AC wasn't created for the consoles unlike titles such as Grand Turismo but was a port from the PC version. Stating this, unfortunately, there are quite a few features that were on the PC but not on the consoles. One of the things was a stable frame rate. Most racing game enthusiasts aim for having a stable 60 FPS especially on modern hardware, heck even 4k resolut Read the full article

Right after the footsteps of ransomware such as WannaCry and Petya, GandCrab ransomware made havoc in just the first weeks of 2018 as money-snatching crab loitering on the web. With the plan of joining the discussion board of illegal hacking, GandCrab ransomware grew to become one of the widely-distributed trojans. Later, the South Korean security vendor AhnLab released a patch for the ransomware and kept the victims from spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on ransoms. Not too long ago, the owner of the GandCrab ransomware has warned concerning the future version of the trojan as retaliation towards the AhnLab’s patch.

In this post, we will focus on the GandCrab ransomware and analyze it while covering the methods of avoiding getting infected yourself How Does It Work?

Christmas is approaching and everyone’s excited. People are hanging ornamental lights on their billboards, shops, trees, and maybe if they’re enthusiastic enough, the cable pillars too. Everyone’s coming together, having a great time, enjoying the holiday, as we wait for Santa to shove himself down our chimneys and let the gifts rain in our living rooms, while he snacks on our cookies and milk. Jokes aside, the myth had sparked the tradition of gift-giving among peers, families, and friends, along with games that are inspired by this practice such as Secret Santa. But what if it all isn’t a myth? What if Santa turned out to be a real person? Would it all be better or worse? Let’s investigate this possibility and see how this could work out. Before we begin, I just need to address that Santa would probably die traveling the speed that he’s traveling and his reindeers wouldn’t make it after two seconds of flying. To tackle this question, we might have to disregard the Law of Physics and assume that he’s some supernatural being that could tolerate traveling at the speed of 5,083,000 mph, carried by a buff Rudolph and his herd that could hypothetically lift him and his giant sack of gifts. With that out of the way, let’s first start with his nice and naughty list. The Nice and Naughty List In the myth, it’s often stated that Santa has a nice and naughty list. If your children behaved nicely throughout the year, they received a gift and it applies the other way around to misbeh Read the full article
