Lord of the Rings’ relationship with video gaming is a weird one. Whether it’s in the direct realms connected to the movies or in the far-flung adaptations straight from the source, balancing what makes a game fun with the ethos of Tolkien’s material is often a treacherous tightrope—which is what makes the idea of a…
Sony has continued to do well in the virtual reality space, and has sold a grand total of 4.2 million PlayStation VR systems worldwide, the company announced in a blog post on Monday. That’s total units actually bought by consumers, not just shipped.
Both parties are mostly in agreement that Congress should be able to see at least some form of the report.
If you’re a fan of both Bethesda titles and Steam, the company has good news for you: DOOM Eternal and a number of other games will be available on the latter company’s game store.

According to the rumors, Apple’s long-awaited AirPower wireless charging mat could be announced this week. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen as Apple has yet to formally announce or confirm anything, but if there is one thing we do know for sure, it is that the accessory has not been cancelled.
This is according to a tweet by Chris Caine (via 9to5Mac) who tweeted out an image of the AirPods with the wireless charging case where as you can see in the image above, the AirPower is depicted on the box itself. This confirms that the product is still very much alive and well, and that if it is on the box then there is a good chance that it could be announced soon, like this week as the rumors suggest.
The second-gen AirPods was launched last week where it came with a new H1 chip and also a wireless charging case (which can also be bought separately). This case can be charged using the AirPower charging mat, hence the diagram on the back of the packaging. To fuel speculation of the AirPower’s impending launch, new images were also spotted on Apple’s website which showed off the charging mat.
In any case hopefully, we’ll learn more about the AirPower later this week so do check back with us for more details.

The Apple Watch ECG feature has proven to be quite a literal lifesaver. Unfortunately, the feature is only available in the US because due to the different regulations used around the world by different governments, Apple will need to work their way through various regulatory hurdles before it finds its way to more markets, similar with Apple Pay.
However, for those living in the UK and Europe, it seems that there is a good chance that the ECG feature could be headed your way soon. This is according to a report from MacRumors in which they have been tipped off by their readers where in iOS 12.2, it seems that some Apple Watch users are seeing the ECG screens on their iPhones.
This has led to speculation that Apple could be gearing the feature up for a launch and that it might be part of watchOS 5.2’s update. There is no word on when the feature will be released, but it looks like it could be soon. Previously it was speculated that it could actually take a few years due to potential regulatory issues, but if this report is accurate, it could actually arrive sooner than we thought (which is a good thing).
However until it actually does, maybe temper your expectations for now.

Usually, computer makers and developers advise their users to install updates and download apps from trusted sources, and it usually doesn’t get more trusted than directly from the company themselves, right? Unfortunately, that was not the case with ASUS whose update servers were compromised and used to install backdoors on its own computers.
According to the report from Kaspersky (via Motherboard), it appears that back in 2018, ASUS’ update server was compromised where it allowed hackers to use the company’s own update software to install backdoors on thousands of computers. The files were signed with the company’s own digital certificates which allowed it to pass off as authentic.
The researchers have estimated that this might have affected half a million Windows computers, although oddly enough it appears that the attack was actually aiming at about 600 of those systems. It is unclear why the attackers were targeting those systems particularly, but regardless, it still represents a hole in the system that needs to be fixed.
This is not the first time that update servers have been compromised and used to distribute malware. Microsoft had previously suffered a similar issue where the Flame spyware was distributed through the Windows updating tool. ASUS has yet to comment on the situation despite Motherboard attempting to reach them several times, but presumably, they should be aware of the situation by now.
