| Kill Bill Star Joins The Old Guard Sequel! Posted: 12 Jun 2022 08:50 AM PDT Premiere in 2020, The Old Guard is one of Netflix’s flagship films that is quite popular among fans. The film, which adapts the comic by Greg Rucka, is listed as one of the Netflix original films with the most viewers. Seeing this success, it is not surprising that in the end the giant streaming channel immediately developed a sequel entitled The Old Guard 2. First revealed in 2021, Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron briefly revealed that the script for the sequel had been completed. As the main character, Theron also revealed that she will start filming The Old Guard 2 in 2022 this.

| Samsung will soon release Galaxy Buds Pro 2 this year • Jagat Gadget Posted: 12 Jun 2022 08:45 AM PDT   This year, Samsung is reported to be releasing at least two of its newest foldable smartphone devices in August. Not only that, it is likely that a new smartwatch device will also be introduced at the same event.

| These 4 Zodiacs Often Don’t Care About Other People’s Opinions Posted: 12 Jun 2022 02:45 AM PDT JawaPos.com – Respecting and appreciating the views of others will make the conversation atmosphere more comfortable. Conversely, when we underestimate the opinions of others, someone will feel cornered and unappreciated. Some people see things in different ways from different points of view. Such a person is more concerned with his own opinion. Based on astrology, reported by Pink Villa, Sunday (12/6) a number of zodiac signs tend to not care about other people’s opinions in their lives: 1. Capricorn Capricorns pride themselves on their ability to achieve perfection. They can’t stop comparing themselves to everyone else. They have a hard time accepting that they can be wrong and that other people can be right, especially at work. If someone tries to give them advice, they are easily offended. 2. Aries Aries is a domineering and aggressive sign. Aries doesn’t care what other people think, especially when it comes to something they’re about to do. They have a limited understanding of the deeper aspects of life. They seem too hard on other people. They feel no need to consider the advice of those closest to them as well. 3. Taurus Taurus are usually short-tempered, so they don’t want to be bothered by other people’s opinions. Taurus is known to be strict and tough. They won’t ask for other people’s opinions because once their minds are made up, they can’t change it. They hate the advice that is given to them. 4. Virgo Virgo doesn’t let other people’s opinions go without lengthy analysis and proper research. They know that they are smart, and they don’t believe that other people can be as alert or intelligent as they are. Virgos can be picky about other people’s flaws and have a strong desire to know all the details before making a decision. Editor : Banu Adikara Reporter : Marieska Harya Virdhani |

| Why Hero Assassins Are Still Useful in META Tank Mobile Legends Posted: 12 Jun 2022 02:41 AM PDT Assassin no longer useful in META Tanks Mobile Legends? It all depends on the pilot, boss! *** Recently, a person player Philippines issued psywar to one player Indonesian pride from RRQ Hoshi, Albert. This Filipino player said that hero Albert’s mainstay is no longer META on Mobile Legends which is now controlled by the Tank and no need to be afraid anymore. Hero Albert’s mainstay in question is assassin heroes like Ling and Hayabusa. Of course, Tank heroes is at the peak of popularity after getting buff massive in patch notes a while ago and mastered all lane in the Land of Dawn, including shifting roles Assassin as jungler. READ ALSO: However, not all of these statements are true because of the fact, assassin heroes can have an impact that META may not be able to do Tank in Mobile Legends. What are they? 1. Best Counter for High Ground Heroes and Marksman
One of the main strengths of META Tank is existence Mage and Marksman. Teams that use two to three Tank in his team tend to provide a comfortable spot for Mid Laner and Gold Laner in order to give damage to the opponent safely without interference. It will be difficult to fight a team with such META with META Tank the same one. That’s why hero Assassin have a chance to show off to stop Mage and Marksman opponent gives damage arbitrarily. Mage inhabited by high ground heroes it becomes a big problem for the team if it is able to maintain a position to provide damage safely. heroes like Xavier, Pharsa, Cecilion, and Yve become a scourge that makes it difficult for the team to win war. Need hero capable of penetrating directly backwards past the fortress built by Tankand the only one who can penetrate that is hero Assassin such as Ling, Lancelot, Helcurt, even Hanzo though. As well as Marksman, Assassin is counter natural from role This is because of his agility. Therefore, if anyone says Assassin there’s no need to be afraid anymore, maybe because he doesn’t feel what it’s like to be chased by Assassin opponent. 2. High Mobility Can’t Be Rivaled by Hero Tanks
One of the big advantages Assassin hero compared Tank is mobility. Tank who have limitations to move make hero from role it can’t rotate quickly, except for Baxia who has skills become a "wheel" to move faster. It is the opposite of Assassin which on average has skills dash or add movement speed them so that the rotation is more effective. set up Turtle even faster because jungler which uses hero Assassin can come to the place Buff the giant quickly. High mobility also makes Jungler Assassin can steal buff opponent or contest Lord more easily. Hero assassin very hard to catch even by Tank which has an effect Surpressed though. is Tank can do the same? Depends on the pilot, but average Jungler Tanks hard to do the same. One more advantage Assassin thanks to its high mobility: ganking. Marksman who tend to be alone in Gold Laner are easy prey for the team toganking. If only jungler as core main late came for ganking marksman opponent, then the effort is in vain and Marksman opponent can escape easily. That’s why it takes one hero which has high mobility as core main. here Jungler Assassin able to show off. 3. The Split Push Strategy is More Effective
One of the most effective strategies used when in a lagging condition is Split Push. Split Push is a strategy of handing over responsibility push turret against one person on lane which is empty, while the other four serve to keep the opponent busy in lane others so as not to interfere with this strategy. Who fits the big responsibility for this strategy? Let’s dissect one by one:
The only one role that fits the strategy Split Push in times of urgency only assassin heroes. With high mobility, the user Assassin can find gaps lane blank to push minions and get some turret unattended. Assassin no need to be afraid of getting hit ganking while doing Split Push because skills escape they have. Examples are Ling by climbing the wall, Fanny by her agile cord, Helcurt by darkening all over Land of Dawnor Aamon who can disappear while getting extra Movement Speed. A strategy like this is indeed effective in delaying the opponent’s victory, it can even be a moment to get epic comeback. If someone says assassin heroes no longer META on Mobile Legends now, maybe he should taste the bitterness of defeat as a result Split Push from Assassin this. *** Those are 3 reasons why assassin heroes can still compete in the midst of the onslaught of META Tanks Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. The facts above show that Albert from RRQ Hoshi is still legal to use assassin heroes at MSC 2022 and gave a big surprise to player The Philippines has underestimated him.

Bahamut was also previously added to FFVIIR faster than it should be. Her appearance in games The future will return to resemble its original form. As we remember, FFXV had turned him into a kind of knight. Now, he is purely back as a dragon and is seen fighting Odin, who seems to be able to keep up. 2. Odin
As mentioned in the previous point, Odin who has the ability to finish off his opponent instantly, has finally returned to the tie Final fantasy. gimmick Odin’s main character is his Zantetsuken, which can kill his enemies in one fell swoop (although it can miss). Eikon version of Odin in FFXVI appears in the form of a giant, although it is not as big as the other Eikon. He rides a 6-legged Sleipnir, which can run through the air. In the trailer, Odin is seen to be able to reflect Bahamut’s attacks using his sword. 3. Friendly
Ramuh is summon which have screen time the shortest in the trailer FFXVI this latest. Even so, it seems that both her appearance and strength are still as strong as the Ramuh version in games Final fantasy other. Ramuh is summon with the appearance of an old man wearing a long robe that can generate lightning / electricity power through his wand. These days, Ramuh has an important role in the canon FFXIV and is also one of the Astrals that Noctis can summon in FFXV. He also reappeared in FFVIIR not long ago, even though it just appeared in the DLC INTERmission with Yuffie. 4. Titan
Will reside in Hugo Kupka who has just been showcased in the latest trailer, according to the previous trailer, Titan will be part of FFXVI. There, Titan is seen battling Shiva, where he is seen destroying the ice floes that his opponent shoots with his fists. Later, he was also seen fighting Ifrit and had to lose his hand. Titan is summon which relies on the power of the ground, which you can see in the latest trailer when it generates an earthquake to attack a group of soldiers. 5. Shiva

Until now, it is still unknown who is Dominant for Shiva in games this one to come. 6. Ifrit
Through the latest trailer, Ifrit is indeed confirmed to be present in games. However, the revelation this time made his fans confused. So far, FFXVI has described Ifrit as an evil eikon in his story. However, the latest trailer says "rise the fated child. Arise Ifrit,” and it sounded while showing Clive’s face, which could mean that Clive would become Ifrit’s Dominant. It’s all still a mystery, because we can also see how Clive can use various other Eikon powers in gameplay latest. Lorehimself said that ever since Clive became bodyguard for his younger brother, Joshua (Dominant Phoenix), he gets some of the power of the Phoenix. The question is, what exactly is Clive? Why was he able to use another Eikon’s power? Why does the end of the trailer seem to describe Clive as the Dominant for the evil Ifrit? Ifrit is one of the summon a favorite of many fans since its appearance. Summon Those who rely on this fire are shaped like horned demons and can produce fire as hot as hell. The attack that became his trademark was called Hellfire. 7. Phoenix
These days, Phoenix is very rarely chosen for a draw Final fantasy as one of the summon the game. In fact, his role in games Final fantasy so far enough minor. Therefore, fans became so hype when Phoenix will play an important role in FFXVI. In fact, it has become part of the logo of games the. Phoenix has been teased since the first trailer and is back in the latest trailer, which is also seen battling Ifrit. He is Eikon who resides in Joshua (Clive’s younger brother). 8. Garuda
Garuda is one of the summon recently added to the series Final fantasy recently. If you noticed, the other Eikon on this list are all para summon original introduced in Final Fantasy III (except Phoenix). In fact, he had been introduced to FFIII but at that time he was just a boss monster. He just became one summon on FFXIwhere he appears in the form of a giant human-shaped monster that has wings and relies on the power of the wind in his fights. In FFXVIhe resides in Benedikta Harman who was also recently introduced with Hugo Kupka in his latest trailer. *** That’s it 8 Summon who have been confirmed to attend Final fantasy XVIwith Phoenix and Garuda taking the place summon the original previously occupied by Chocobo and Leviathan on FFIII.

| Bill Gates on the Next 40 Years in Technology | by PCMag | PC Magazine | June, 2022 Posted: 12 Jun 2022 02:05 AM PDT In our first issue, PC Magazine interviewed the 26-year-old founder of Microsoft about building the original IBM PC. Four packed decades later and we still have questions. By Wendy Sheehan Donnell For PC Magazine‘s charter issue in early 1982, the newly minted editor-in-chief and publisher David Bunnell flew to Seattle to interview a fresh-faced, 26-year-old Bill Gates, the president and co-founder of a little software company called Microsoft. Bunnell’s goal with this exclusive interview was to understand the part Microsoft and its software played in the development of the groundbreaking IBM PC that was born less than a year earlier. After all, that IBM PC was the namesake of Bunnell’s new publication. In the interview, the two discussed how much fun it was for Bill and his team to contribute to the IBM project, how gratifying it was to have been part of it, and how the IBM and Microsoft teams worked together to actually get it done. They even speak of shooting jokes back and forth via an early form of email used for communication between the two teams. Besides recalling many of the gritty details of how the software and hardware were developed together (it was a two-hour interview!), Gates speculates about the future of the PC and how it would eventually become ubiquitous and change the way people work.
He was right, of course. More than four decades later, the concept of the personal computer has evolved so far beyond the 16-bit beige box made primarily for hobbyists that it’s barely recognizable. The world around it has changed, too. PCs are just one tiny slice of the technology that has changed not only the way we work, but the way we exist. In 40 years here at PCMag, we haven’t strayed far from our namesake (though with time we did shorten the "magazine" part). But the world of what we cover has become much more vast. Phones, smartwatches, VR headsets, digital health and fitness gear, smart home devices, and electric cars, just to name a few categories, are now a large part of our reporting and reviews. (Still, we do test and rate more than 200 PCs each year to help you find the right one for your particular existence.)  Four packed decades of technology evolution, 550+ magazine issues, more articles and reviews than you could ever count, and I’m the newly minted editor-in-chief of PCMag, so I thought it would be fun to catch up with Bill Gates to get some fresh takes on where we’ve been, where we’re going, and what lies ahead. Here’s what he had to say. Wendy Sheehan Donnell: When the IBM PC with the software you created was born more than 40 years ago, did you have any idea what you’d done? Bill Gates: The revolutionary concept of software as an amazing tool was the whole idea that Paul Allen and I built our company around. When Microsoft got started in 1975, our dream was a computer on every desk and in every home. We knew that the miracle advances in chips and the software that could be built because of those magic chips would make everyone want to use a computer. Later, we talked about information at your fingertips. Of course, it’s gone beyond that original dream with cell phones and sensors. But it still comes back to so much early important work driven by chips and great software. You considered buying PC Magazine(Opens in a new window) back in the day, and regretted not going for it. How were early computing magazines like ours integral to the birth of the PC industry? Computers are so mainstream now and so integral to our lives that a lot of people forget that the early users and the people who really believed in personal computers back in the day were a relatively small group of dedicated, nerdy hobbyists. There were various clubs like the Home Brew Computer Club where groups would get together and talk about the latest advances. PC Magazine really helped bridge the gap between the hobbyists and a much larger audience of people looking for more usable and accessible computers. PC Magazine‘s reviews and feedback were a key element that helped push the industry to go from niche to changing the world.
What do you think we will be reading PCMag.com on in 2062? When do you think we shift to the Post-PC Age? The combination of chips and software show up in a lot of form factors nowadays. The most popular are mobile devices that fit in our pockets. But we’ve also got that combination powering our TV sets. We’ve got it in our cars. It’s pretty pervasive at this point. Eventually, we’ll get glasses with augmented reality that are adopted broadly, and we’ll get robots that are more than simple task-repeaters on production lines. The sky is really the limit as these chips get more powerful and as the AI software algorithms eventually figure out how to create personal agents that help us get a variety of tasks done like reading and providing advice on scientific discovery. The field still has a long way to go-it’s really exciting. What will be the greatest technology challenge of the next 40 years and how will we overcome it? There are a lot of challenges ahead of us that require technology and innovation. Climate change is a big one. Political polarization is another big one-how can we work in a common way across humanity and minimize wars and violence. There’s not a tech tool that can solve that, but the way we’re interconnected and interact with each other is so tied to how information flows around the world. With AI, there’s huge potential to do good in the world, but it’s also important to be cautious and make sure it’s being developed in the right way. Microsoft and OpenAI have a smart approach to that. The younger generation is more educated and more aware of societal problems, and I’m optimistic that they can contribute to solutions. It will take a lot of brilliant minds and ideas. You’ve made the full move to philanthropy; how hard was it to leave Microsoft and a lifetime career in technology? While my day-to-day focus has shifted toward philanthropy, I’m still very much involved in technology as I meet regularly with groups at Microsoft and talk about their product plans. That’s something I really enjoy. And my work at the foundation, where we’re exploring things like digital currency or empowering health workers with digital tools, challenges me to understand the latest advances and think about how we put them into usable forms to save lives. In my philanthropy work, I’ve had to learn a lot of new areas like biology and climate science. Learning is one of the things I love the most, and I’m lucky that my job requires it. When the digital advances and biological advances come together, we have a real chance to do things like cure HIV or ensure that health workers have the tools they need to care for people no matter where they are in the world.  What’s your everyday PC these days? How does it compare with the OG IBM PC? I use a mix of devices depending on where I am and what I need. I have a cell phone with a big screen, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3. When I’m traveling, I use a Surface Laptop 4, one of Microsoft’s products. And then on my home office desk, I have a Surface Studio 2 All-in-One PC. I tend to use the big PC screen more than most people because I like sending long emails and reading long documents and research papers. I’m not quite as phone-centric as the younger generation, but the mix works well. I can stay on top of all my work at the foundation, even as I’m traveling. The tools just keep getting better, but there’s still a long way to go and a lot of potential.
The original IBM PC wasn’t connected up to a network, and its processing power and storage capacity was quite limited. It was capable of doing basic word processing, basic spreadsheets, some games, and things like that. It was quite a good tool, but the fact that it wasn’t connected to a network and you couldn’t access large databases means that if somebody were forced to go back in time and use it, they’d be pretty disappointed. I had to fit the very first program I wrote into 8k bytes of code, not 8 million or 8 billion. Our devices now are thousands of times more powerful than what the original IBM PC was capable of. We are spoiled nowadays-our computers are so unbelievable. |
