Later this month, clothing from the fashion marketplace Depop will be available in an expansion pack for The Sims 4 called High School Years ( via Polygon ).

Skyrim online co-op mod reaches full release this week
Something to look forward to: Skyrim's famous mod scene is still thriving after over a decade. This week, a mod bringing online co-op to the game will emerge from closed beta after years of development and significant setbacks. Players can now complete quests together with almost all gameplay features synced. The mod team behind Skyrim Together Reborn has set the project's full release for Friday, July 8 (noon EST). The online co-op mod allows for groups of two-to-eight players, synching quest completion, experience points, NPCs, items, difficulty, and other features. Players can also manually enable PvP, but the modders don't recommend it, as that wasn't their main design goal. The Skyrim Together team has been developing a co-op mode for Bethesda's single player mega-hit since 2016, completely scrapping it and beginning a rewrite in 2019. The team warns that the full release will be quite buggy since it bolts online multiplayer onto a complex single player RPG, but … [Read more...] about Skyrim online co-op mod reaches full release this week
TikTok assures Republicans it’s working to protect US data security
After years of mounting pressure, TikTok provided US lawmakers with more details into how it limits Chinese access to American data in a new letter dated Thursday. In a letter addressed to nine of the app’s most prominent Republican critics, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew detailed how the company planned to separate American user data from ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company. Chew also explained TikTok’s plan to house American user data on Oracle servers, a plan first reported by BuzzFeed News last month. “We’re proud to be able to serve a global community of more than a billion people who use TikTok to creatively express themselves and be entertained,” Chew wrote in the letter first reported by The New York Times . “We know we are among the most scrutinized platforms from a security standpoint, and we aim to remove any doubt about the security of U.S. user data.” The Verge independently confirmed the letter’s authenticity on Friday.

Avatar: The Way of Water’s going to turn Sigourney Weaver into a teenage Na’vi
Though Sigourney Weaver’s Dr. Grace Augustine ultimately died in the first Avatar film, one of the first surprising details director James Cameron shared about the film’s sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water , was that Weaver was set to return as a mysterious new character . While Avatar ’s story of symbiotic aliens could potentially have led to resurrecting Dr. Augustine in an imaginative way, it turns out that The Way of Water ’s taking a much more surprising approach to incorporating Weaver back into the franchise. Avatar: The Way of Water ’s first trailer revealed that its story would focus on the blended family that former human Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and the Na’vi Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) began after the original film. Surprising as it was to see that Jake and Neytiri had seemingly adopted a human kid, in a recent interview with Empire magazine , Cameron shared more details about the couple’s other child, Kiri, that may point to her being the more intriguing of … [Read more...] about Avatar: The Way of Water’s going to turn Sigourney Weaver into a teenage Na’vi
Sprint’s network has been officially retired
The remnants of Sprint’s network have been put out to pasture . As of yesterday, Sprint’s LTE network has been retired by its new owner, T-Mobile. That’s along with Sprint’s 3G CDMA network, which was shut down earlier this year, and what remained of T-Mobile’s own 3G network, which enters retirement today. T-Mobile spokesperson Justin Paulsen confirmed to The Verge that the network shutdowns are now underway. It may come as a surprise that any part of Sprint’s network was still operational so recently. In April 2020, T-Mobile officially took ownership of the company , including all of its spectrum and network towers, which would ultimately be repurposed for 5G. Sprint’s 3G CDMA network was the first to go when T-Mobile started to shut down Sprint’s systems in March. It had originally planned to sunset the network at the end of 2021, but after a heated debate over anti-competitive behavior during which Dish chairman Charlie Ergen called T-Mobile a Grinch , the date was … [Read more...] about Sprint’s network has been officially retired
Un mystérieux hacker affirme avoir piégé un milliard de citoyens chinois
Des informations personnelles concernant environ un milliard de citoyens chinois auraient été volées dans ce qui pourrait constituer l'un des plus grands “cyber-braquages” de l'histoire. Un pirate informatique, jusqu’ici inconnu, s'est rendu sur des forums clandestins pour annoncer la récupération d’un lot de 23 To de données sensibles - prétendument volées dans une base appartenant au département de police de Shanghai.

Selon Bloomberg (opens in new tab) , la police de Shanghai n'a toujours pas communiqué de … [Read more...] about Un mystérieux hacker affirme avoir piégé un milliard de citoyens chinois
