The primary source for the rumors is YouTuber SpawnWave, though the likes of Eurogamer and VGC have since reported hearing similar things. Other than its purported release date, we have no clues as to how Capcom’s going to proceed with the game. The original was released about a year-and-a-half after its predecessor, so it’d be particularly impressive if the company managed to replicate that feat with the remakes. Being honest, we all probably suspected Capcom was working on a RE3 remake....

Cyber Monday is the Super Bowl of online sales events. Sure, give a nod to your Prime Day and your Singles Day, but digital commerce truly kicks into gear once all the holiday turkey is cleared away and the serious holiday shopping can truly get rolling. That means everybody has to up their game. Servers have to be primed and ready. Customers have to have a strategy and move quickly....

Take Ellen, the electric-powered ferry that sails the west Baltic sea, for example. Unlike Sony’s recent shock concept car announcement, Ellen is in action and was ready to welcome its first customer aboard late last year. Before I tell you more about Ellen, let’s get the important numbers out the way. According to figures in a recent BBC report and Ship-Technology.com, Ellen will help cut 2,000 tons of CO2, 41,500kg of NOx, and 1,350kg of SO2 every year....

“Making new drugs takes forever,” said study co-author Caroline Uhler, a computational biologist at MIT. “Really, the only expedient option is to repurpose existing drugs.” The study team searched for potential treatments by analyzing changes to gene expressions in lung cells caused by both the disease and aging. Uhler said this combination could help medical experts find drugs to test on older people: The researchers sought to answer this question through a three-step process [Read: How Polestar is using blockchain to increase transparency] First, they generated a list of candidate drugs using an autoencoder, a type of neural network that finds data representations in an unsupervised manner....

Nowadays there are more opinions on how to develop software than there are firms actually doing the development. Some people call programming a science. Others call it engineering, a craft, or even art. Just as coding’s 70-year history has produced hundreds (if not thousands) of languages, it’s also spawned countless processes and frameworks purporting to have the best model for guiding a team to build software. In recent times, no framework has seen broader adoption and more hype than the scrum implementation of agile....

What makes QR codes really cool is the fact that there is literally no end to how they can be used. It can be as creative as creating a scannable and edible waffle that leads to a specific URL, or as useful as appearing in campaign signs. It can even be used in architecture, as is being done in Dubai. Fight crime QR codes are going to be put to use by the Vancouver Police in their efforts to catch a sex offender....

The tool uses voice samples from Bethesda games to convert text into speech. You can generate dialogue in the style of many voices from the publisher’s back catalog, including Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Morrowind. YouTuber Adriac used it to produce a pretty impressive trailer — although the tone of voice sounds slightly artificial at times: Others are using it for more quirky creations, like this mod that forces characters to compliment your naked body: The tool was created by software developer Dan Ruta, who said it’s powered by a field of deep learning called neural speech synthesis: [Read: How this company leveraged AI to become the Netflix of Finland] The models used for each character are trained on in-game voice-acted lines....

There hasn’t yet been any research looking into smartphone pinky, so its causes are unclear. But the way we hold our mobile devices is of interest – as the weight of a phone is naturally placed on the pinky. This places strain on the pinky, forcing it in a direction it doesn’t normally bend, stretching the soft tissue and ligaments which normally function to limit movement. The dent is likely a compression of the soft tissues of the finger from continued exposure to the weight of the phone....

However, new research by Minviro, a company specialized in raw material life-cycle analysis, has found that an emerging battery technology can significantly reduce an EV’s carbon footprint: solid-state batteries. They promise to decrease battery emissions by almost two-fifths. The analysis compared a NMC-811 solid-state battery — one of the most promising chemistries being developed — to current lithium-ion technology. Both types use lithium to produce electrical energy and they have an anode (the battery’s negative terminal), a cathode (the battery’s positive terminal), and an electrolyte, which helps transfer ions from the cathode to the anode and vice versa....

But when someone asks “what noise-canceling headphones should I get?” my answer is almost always “the Sonys.” Okay, sometimes one of Bose’s latest models gets the nod too, and I actually tend to find Bose’s sound more neutral out of the box. And there are other excellent options for those on a budget. But Sony has been driving progress in the noise-canceling headphone space for the past several years, and the new $400 WH-1000XM5 are no exception....

But it’s the innovative young startups from emerging markets that have the potential to create the biggest impact. As of 2018, 85% of the world’s population lives in emerging market countries, which represent 59% of the GDP. With such a huge digital consumer market, these startups will have a major hand in shaping and growing the post-Covid economy. Yet, funding and opportunities are still given disproportionately to startups based in established markets....

The findings — disclosed by Palo Alto Networks’ threat intelligence team Unit 42 — linked the attacks to a group (or groups) it calls PKPLUG, named after its tactic of delivering PlugX malware inside ZIP files, which are identified with the signature “PK.” The ambiguity in its attribution is because “our current visibility doesn’t allow us to determine with high confidence if this is the work of one group, or more than one group which uses the same tools and has the same tasking,” Unit 42 said....

Facial recognition software is great for people who look like me. Sure, I still face the same existential dangers as everyone else: in the US and China we live in a total surveillance state. Law enforcement can track us without a warrant and put us into categories and groups such as “dissident” or “anti-cop,” without ever investigating us. If I show my face in public, it’s likely I’m being tracked....

According to the study, more than 75 percent of teens aged from 13 to 17 say it’s important to keep up with world events, yet over half of them get the news from YouTube and other social media platforms including Twitter and Facebook. The study, which surveyed 1,000 teens, found that 60 percent learn the news from celebrities, influencers, and other online personalities. These stats are even more surprising (and worrying) given those surveyed admit that news outlets are more trustworthy than social media sources....

Rather than creating a Surface Book 4 with a detachable tablet, the new laptop takes a cue from the desktop Surface Studio. Not only can you move its main hinge like any other laptop, you can also pull the display forward via a secondary hinge. This allows you to either bring the screen closer to your eyes for movies and photos, or you can lay the screen almost flat to use as a tablet or for stylus input, and it makes for a more seamlessly flexible design than ever before....
