When was the last time you bought a PC game that came in more than one or two dual-layer DVDs? Heck, when was the last time you actually bought a PC game on a DVD? While still very common on consoles, digital distribution has become the prevalent way most PC gamers buy these days. That’s why the revelation that Microsoft’s … Continue reading

There are many products out there in the market today that are focusing on being greener and more environmentally friendly. For example, supermarkets have started to encourage shoppers to use reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags, and food packaging has also turned towards greener options.
Now it looks like even whisky makers are looking towards creating a more sustainable future, which is what Diageo has done with its Johnnie Walker whisky. The company has announced that in a partnership with Pilot Lite, they have created a new sustainable paper bottle that they’ll be bottling some of their Johnnie Walker whiskeys with.
According to Diageo, this paper bottle will be 100% free from plastic and will be fully recyclable. “The bottle is made from sustainably sourced pulp to meet food-safe standards and will be fully recyclable in standard waste streams. The technology will allow brands to rethink their packaging designs, or move existing designs into paper, whilst not compromising on the existing quality of the product.”
We have to say that despite it being made out of paper and not glass, which usually exudes a certain level of class, we actually dig this design. For now, it seems that only the company’s Black Label whiskeys will benefit from this new packaging, but perhaps we’ll start seeing more paper bottles in the future.

The Xbox One was launched more than half a decade ago, and the console was later followed by the cheaper Xbox One S, and then the more expensive and more powerful Xbox One X. However, it seems that despite the Xbox One X having been around the shortest, it also seems to have the shortest lifespan as it appears to have been discontinued.
This is according to Australian publication Press Start who has confirmed with two major retailers in the country that they are no longer expecting new stock for the Xbox One X. More evidence of the console being discontinued can be found on Microsoft Australia’s website where it only lists the Xbox One S and the Xbox Series X, which for those unfamiliar is the company’s next-gen console.
Kotaku has further confirmed this to be true where some listings on Amazon Australia are showing that the console has been marked as discontinued, although some are still selling them which presumably are just remaining stock. It should be noted that while these could be limited to Australia, we have found that Microsoft’s website for the US is listing the Xbox One X as being out of stock.
Microsoft has yet to comment on whether or not the Xbox One X has been discontinued, but if it is true, we have to wonder why they have chosen to discontinue it over the Xbox One S. It is possible that they might be keeping the Xbox One S around as a more affordable alternative to the Xbox Series X, but that’s just speculation on our part.

As many of you might have heard, several high profile Twitter accounts belonging to huge companies like Uber and also high profile users like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and so on were hacked and had their accounts taken over. The hackers then used these accounts to share a bitcoin scam in which it was alleged that the hackers made over $100,000 during that brief period in time.
It was speculated that the hack was due to a zero day vulnerability that was exploited to gain access to those accounts, but the reality could be much simpler: an inside job. This is according to a report from Motherboard where they claim to have obtained leaked screenshots and spoke to two sources who took over the accounts.
The sources told Motherboard that they had a Twitter rep do all the work for them where the rep was paid for their services. Due to the high profile nature of the hack, it doesn’t come as a surprise that it could have been an inside job as the report claims that the tool used was actually an internal tool used at the company.
Twitter has since responded to the report where they are saying that they are still investigating the situation to determine if the employee hijacked the accounts themselves, or if they gave the hackers access to the tool. The company also released a statement saying, “We detected what we believe to be a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some of our employees with access to internal systems and tools.”
