I don’t mind bigger bezels if smartphone-makers are doing something interesting with them, and that certainly looks the case for the Pixel 4. Google may have shown off the rear of its upcoming flagship Android phone with unexpected eagerness, but the Pixel 4’s biggest draw is shaping up to be on the opposite side. By all rights and intents, Google … Continue reading
Hackers breached servers at a contractor for Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), SyTech, and stole about 7.5 terabytes of data after gaining access to the company’s entire network earlier this month, ZDnet reported on Saturday.
The demands come after Swami Harish Chander Puri Ji was beaten near his temple while taking a walk Thursday morning.
The Nintendo GameCube and Wii both offered up lots of fun and classic video games. But neither console was particularly portable, so the only way you could play those games on the go would be via software emulation. But games rarely play to perfection or at full speed through emulation, and the right way to do it is with original hardware if possible.
Shank Mods and GmanModz teamed up to make a truly impressive handheld gaming system using the brains of an actual Nintendo Wii. This allows the system to play any Wii or GameCube game, and at full speed. It also can play Virtual Console, WiiWare and homebrew apps. The design of the WiiVision was inspired by a 2011 GameCube portable build by Tchay.
To fit all the components inside the case, they had to carefully trim the main circuit board from the Wii, and wired it up to an LCD screen, speakers, and control buttons. And with the help of 3D printing and custom circuit boards, they were able to make it super neat and tidy inside. Games are loaded onto the system via a tiny USB flash drive, and it’s capable of supporting external controllers.
Shank had previously built another nifty Wii/GameCube portable called the PiiWii Pocket, but it ultimately melted its case because it accidentally turned on inside a carrying case. Not one to give up on his dream portable, he went back to the drawing board, and teamed up with his friend to build a whole new system. I like the styling of this handheld even more, as it looks even more like something Nintendo might have made themselves.
Amazing work, Shank and Gman!

Here’s something that not many Marvel fans were expecting. Marvel confirmed at the San Diego Comic-Con that it’s rebooting Blade and also announced that Mahershala Ali of True Detective fame will be starring in this reboot. Many Marvel fans would be aware that Blade was one of the first superheroes from the repertoire to become a hit on film.
This character first appeared in the comics back in 1973 with The Tomb of Dracula #10. Eric Brookes, who later becomes known as Blade, turns to hunting vampires after saving a man from vampires. The rest, as they say, is history.
The original Blade movie was released back in 1998 with Wesley Snipes in the lead as the vampire hunter. He later reprised his role in 2002 for Blade II and 2004 for Blade: Trinity. The rights to this character were reacquired by Marvel in 2013 in addition to the Punisher and Ghost Rider.
No further details have been revealed by Marvel at this point in time about its Marvel reboot. It’s not even known if it’s going to come back as a film or a series for Disney+, the company’s standalone content streaming service. It has only said that Mahershala Ali will be starring in the movie.

Lyft wants people in New York City to be hooked to its app which is why the ride-hailing service has decided to add NYC subway and bus directions to its app. It will take a couple of weeks for the roll out of transit directions in the app for NYC to complete.
Once this roll out is completed, the Lyft app will be able to show users bus stops, subway stations, and even docks for Citi Bike. That’s a bikeshare system owned by Lyft which already allows users to reserve and pay for Citi Bike using its app.
The idea here is to keep users within the Lyft app and eliminate the need for them to switch to another app if they want directions for public transportation options. Bloomberg reports that the updated app should be out for all users in New York by the end of September this year.
Aside from information about the bus and subway, Lyft users will also be able to view commuter rail options like the Metro North, Long Island Rail Road, New Jersey Transit, and more. Users will only be able to view directions from the Lyft app, though, as it won’t let them purchase any tickets.
