Superman Unreal Engine 5 demo’stolen’: A stunning Superman demo developed in Unreal Engine 5 and released earlier this year to widespread internet acclaim has been pirated and released on Steam for $11. Toybox Games’ Tyson Butler-Boschma developed the first proof-of-concept demo for superhero flying, dubbed A Superman Style Flight Experience (UE5). He based it on the City Sample from Epic Games’ The Matrix Awakens. Unfortunately, problems start once Butler-Boschma released the playable sample on itch.io for free in April. The Unreal Engine 5 demo Butler-Boschma built “for fun to show what might be made” was stolen by a group calling…

Continuity Camera in macOS: Surprisingly, a little attachment from Belkin became one of the most discussed aspects of Apple’s macOS Ventura announcement. The Continuity Camera feature is utilized by the “Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe for Mac Notebooks” (henceforth “Belkin mount” or “Belkin adapter”). With this in-app capability, the iPhone’s camera takes the place of the webcam on your Macbook. The $30 add-on is an economical and stylish webcam upgrade. Over the past two decades, Apple has transformed from a high-end and rather esoteric computer boutique into an all-encompassing technological powerhouse, and with this transformation has come more consumer-friendly price…

NVIDIA’s FSR 3.0: Igor’s Lab claims (opens in new tab) that Nvidia’s DLSS 3.0 frame generation is compatible with upscaling techniques other than DLSS. Through extensive testing, Igor was able to utilize Nvidia’s frame generation technology in tandem with AMD’s FSR 2.1 and Intel’s XeSS temporal upscale to play Spider-Man Remastered. So now we know what to expect from AMD’s forthcoming FSR 3.0 release, and we can also speculate on whether or not Intel may integrate frame generation into XeSS in the future. Nvidia’s newest iteration of its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) algorithm is version 3.0. Even still, contrary…

A commercial surveillance provider exploited three zero-day vulnerabilities in recent Samsung Galaxy phones, according to a blog post from Google Project Zero (via TechCrunch). Corporations in this category may be telecoms or IT companies that are keeping tabs on their clients in order to deliver targeted ads based on their individual profiles. Or it may be something far darker (more on this below). These Flaws Affected Some Samsung Galaxy Phones Equipped With the Company’s Own Exynos Processors Such businesses “collect, aggregate, analyze, retain, transfer, or monetize consumer data and the direct derivatives of that information,” as defined by the Federal…

Chevrolet Corvette C8: This week, Bring a Trailer included a fascinating advertisement for a “Pre-Production 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe C8.R 01EX.” The seller of this item claims in the comments that he or she is in possession of the 1,001st example of the limited-to-1,000 C8.R Edition, a special package commemorating the mid-engine Vette’s dominant 2020 season in sports car racing, and that this vehicle somehow escaped from General Motors’ clutches. To try and unravel the riddle, Jalopnik contacted Chevrolet. BaT advertises a 2021 Stingray with a low mileage of 97 kilometers. The seller, a car dealer from Sarasota, FL…

Pixel Lock Screen Bypass: Nobody wants some random person to get into their phone. It’s why everyone goes to the bother of installing a lock screen. But what if a security flaw made it possible for someone to unlock your device? A hacker apparently discovered this, and it’s a problem for all Google Pixel devices. Hackers may be divided into two categories: those with evil intentions and those with a selfless desire to improve security. David Schutz, an ethical hacker, discovered a worrying flaw by accident when his Pixel 6 died as he was sending a text. Schutz writes on…

In fact, on the same day, Alienware unveiled the new Aurora R15, powered by Intel’s 13th-generation Core I CPUs, and a…

Satellites sending electricity to Earth: The European Space Agency’s (ESA) proposal to beam power to Earth from space has just been demonstrated to be feasible, providing the Astro agency with extra firepower as it prepares to request more money to support research into solar energy. In order to investigate the feasibility of transmitting solar energy from satellites to Earth using microwaves, the European Space Agency (ESA) developed a pilot program named SOLARIS. The SOLARIS project was the agency’s attempt to learn more about the technology necessary to implement the concept and the viability of doing so. In 2022, the ESA…

Racing Wheel F1: We’ve been dealing with the component shortage for some time now. It’s been over two years, and we’re still dealing with issues all along the production chain.

We have made significant progress as of late, and there is plenty to discuss, despite the delayed movement of our stated items due to supply chain restraints and component shortages. Because of this radical shift in the…
