Ace the Search and Destroy mode in Call of Duty: Mobile with these handy tips

Call of Duty: Mobile isn’t lacking when it comes to different game modes.

Netflix launches the Play Something feature globally, making sure you almost never leave your couch

We’ve all been there, sitting in the dark just scrolling endlessly through a cascade of movies and TV shows on Netflix. Sometimes, it’s incredibly hard to pick what to watch on a streaming platform. With the endless amount of movies, shows and content on the various platforms, sifting through it all can be a little overwhelming. This is why Netflix has now rolled out its ‘Play Something’ feature for TVs and living room devices, globally. This means that the feature is not yet available for mobile devices or browsers. If it’s actually popular, then we could see it on other platforms. We earlier reported that Netflix was testing out a shuffle feature and this could be the final version of it.  The feature works by combing through your profile for movies and shows you have watched and then recommends personalized content. If you don’t like what’s been suggested, there’s a ‘Play Something Else” button that will take you to the next show or movie. Think of it like the early days of ca...

Sony sells 78 million PS5 globally, Indian gamers left in the dust

As most of you know, it has been hard for PlayStation fans to get their hands on the PS5 (review) in India. The PS5 was launched worldwide in November of last year and went on pre-order in India on January 12. It launched in India on February 2. With the hype surrounding the PS5, the console sold out in a short period of time, leading to acute shortages. A lot of people had to resort to the grey market to get their hands on the console. But, from the latest reports, it seems that the PlayStation 5 has sold around 7.8 million units worldwide. It’s clear that demand is far outstripping supply, but 7.8 million consoles in 5 months is still an impressive number, no matter how you look at it.  For fans in India though, it hasn’t been smooth sailing all the way. Sony shipped around 4.5 million consoles by the end of 2020, which means that Indians saw none of that supply. By the end of March 2021, Sony had shipped 3.3 million more consoles, of which Indian gamers saw a pie of. In a repo...

Apple fined 12 million by Russian antimonopoly agency because of alleged App Store dominance

It seems that Apple is in hot water again, this time the company has run afoul of the Russian government. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) announced that because apps were distributed through Apple’s iOS operating system, it gave Apple's own products a competitive edge over other companies. Apple has been fined $12 million by Russia but says that it “respectfully disagreed” with the ruling and plans to appeal it.  The Federal Antimonopoly Service fines Apple $12 million The FAS had determined that Apple has used its position to reject third-party apps from the App Store giving its own apps a push in the eyes of users.

This news comes at a time when Western tech companies are making inroads into Russia and are facing requests and orders to delete content on their platforms.

ThinkPad series of laptops is one of the fan favourites coming from the house of Lenovo, so it's hardly a surprise that the company keeps this line up updated with the latest hardware. The company has now updated the ThinkPad T series in China with the launch of the ThinkPad T14s 2021 notebook. Lenovo ThinkPad T14s (2021) Specifications The ThinkPad T14s (2021) is a thin and light ultrabook that's now equipped with the 11th-gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor. This is the same processor that's powering a lot of new ultrabooks including the ASUS ExpertBook B9400 that we reviewed just recently. The laptop is armed to teeth but it lacks Intel's EVO branding. It packs up to 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB SSD. The laptop weighs 1.28kgs and is about 16.1mm thick.

Spotify to launch new podcast subscription model, will not take a membership cut from creators

It looks like Spotify is getting into the podcast business. In a recent report on Variety, Spotify announced that it would be taking on Apple’s brand new podcast subscription service. But, unlike Apple, Spotify will not charge a fee, nor will it take a membership cut from creators. The Swedish company made huge strides by signing on names like Joe Rogan to its service. The deal cost Spotify an insane $100 million. They even debuted a new video player with the app.  The company will launch its podcast subscription feature next week but will refrain from taking any cut of the profits, giving creators a much better deal than Apple. With a 30% cut, Apple follows other platforms like Youtube, Twitch and more by taking a portion of the profits. It looks like Spotify really wants to disrupt the system with this move. The company will be testing out paid subscription models for podcasters, giving them the ability to offer special content to paid subscribers. There are no detail...
