Developer Remedy confirms that Control 2 is in development

2019's supernatural thriller Control (review) was a unique concept that still has us going back to it constantly. The game featured mind-bending mysteries, challenging combat and complex puzzles. Naturally we're quite excited for the sequel as well, especially if Remedy will be able to top what they managed to pull off in Control. Remedy are no strangers to making good games, and have the original Max Payne, Alan Wake and Quantum Break under their belt as well, which are all phenomenal titles. As quoted from our review, "Control is one of Remedy Entertainments finest works blending sci-fi and fantasy with mystery and horror in a way few other games have done. The story is immersive, the gameplay challenging and the atmosphere one that will be remembered."

According to Remedy, the sequel is still in the conceptual stages, and will launch for PC, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S.

What do we know about Control 2?

Right now other than the fact that it's in development, we don't know much about Control 2. We do have a piece of concept art from the developer but that's about it.

Mikael Kasurinen, Control 2 game director, also shared a message:

"With Control, we leaped into the unknown. We wanted to create something new. Something different and unexpected. A world like no other. Thank you, the audience, for making Control such a success for us.

With Control 2, we’ll take another leap into the unknown. It’ll be an unexpected journey. It’ll take a while, but to put it mildly, this is the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on. It’s still early days, but it will be worth the wait."

Remedy went on record earlier in the year saying they were working on a "bigger budget" Control game. The game, Codename Heron at the time, has been confirmed to be the sequel. Alongside Control 2, a multiplayer spin-off of the franchise is apparently also in the works.

Other than Control 2, Remedy is also currently working on Alan Wake 2, and a new mystery project for Epic Games' new publishing label.

Next-gen Google Pixel smartphone details have leaked: Find out the purported specs

Google’s Pixel 7 series was launched in October. Within a month of the launch, the next-generation of the Pixel has already leaked. According to a report, the next-gen Google Pixel smartphones have been found in publicly-available source codes. Both devices have been codenamed after breeds of dogs, with the Pixel seemingly codenamed “Shiba,” and the Pixel 7 Pro is called the “Husky.” 

The codes were found by WinFuture writer Roland Quandt, who found the nicknames within and that they run on Android 14. The report also shows that the Mountain View-based giant has also given the next Pixels a dessert-inspired nickname, “Upside Down Cake.” Both the “Husky” and “Shiba” Pixel devices have also been found to run on a chip codenamed “Zuma,” which is said to be the successor to Google’s Tensor G2 chip. 

Pixel 8 (Pro)? Google has two new devices in the works codenamed "Husky" and "Shiba". Both have a new SoC codenamed "Zuma", plenty of RAM and proper high res screens. https://t.co/D90qXLqqNx #Pixel8 #Pixel8Pro

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) November 9, 2022

In terms of specifications, the report shows “Shiba” with a 2268 x 1080p resolution display, which is close to the Google Pixel 7’s 2400 x 1080p display, but the ‘Shiba’ smartphone is said to have 12GB of RAM, higher than the Pixel 7’s 8GB RAM. The “Husky” also seems to have 12GB of RAM, which is the same as the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s RAM. The display resolution, however, is slightly lower than the Pixel 7 Pro at 2822 x 1344p resolution. The Pixle 7 Pro has a resolution of 3120 x 1440p. 

The “Zuma” chip also seems to include the Samsung G5300 5G modem that the current Google Tensor G2 also uses. Now, the listing doesn’t necessarily mean that we are seeing the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro for the first time. The listing could also be for a possible Google Pixel 7A and Pixel 7A XL/ Pro. 

Google launched the Pixel 7 series including the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro in India and globally on October 6 this year. Both the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will come with Google’s Tensor G2 chipset. The smartphones were the first time Google launched its flagship Pixel series since the Pixel 3 series in 2018.

Tesla offers its proprietary charger as NACS open standard: Why it matters

It seems like the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico are set to get their own EC charging standard as Tesla is opening up the gates to its technology, offering its proprietary connector as the North American Charging Standard.

Even though the company’s co-founder, Elon Musk, is caught up in Twitter business, and that could have some ramifications on Tesla, the latter’s new initiative could garner positive responses, especially from electric vehicle industry.

As stated in the release published on their official blog, Tesla gave their rationale behind this change. They wrote, “In pursuit of our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy, today we are opening our EV connector design to the world. We invite charging network operators and vehicle manufacturers to put the Tesla charging connector and charge port, now called the North American Charging Standard (NACS), on their equipment and vehicles.”

The design files of the charging connector were also published for download as a part of this announcement. From the numbers published in the release, it was stated that the number of charging stations fitted with NACS, are much higher than the ones with CCS (Combined Charging System). The company also published images comparing the two chargers, illustrating the differences between what the chargers look like now, and what could they potentially look like if things go ahead!

This move could potentially put an end to the disparity between different charging connectors being fitted into the EVs being offered by several brands in the region. Additionally, if and when, Tesla moves to markets like India, this move could be seen as a great precedent by the auto manufacturers as we look to cut down on emissions and waste as a whole.

How to easily discern Actually verified and Paid for verification Twitter accounts using the Eight Dollars extension

Elon Musk’s $ 7.99-a-month Twitter Blue subscription push has been chaotic. As it offers a blue checkmark to the new paid subscribers, there has been a torrent of fake Twitter accounts with a blue tick created as fun pranks or to disseminate misinformation. Now, even though there’s a way to discern the paid-for verification accounts from the actually verified ones, the official solution from Twitter isn’t so quickly accessible. That is where the new extension/add-on by Will Seagar and Walter Lim comes in handy.

The extension is funnily named Eight Dollars, and it is currently supported by Google Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Soon, it will be compatible with other browsers like Safari too. Here, we’ll see how it works on Chromium browsers like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. But first, let’s understand how to check whether an account has paid for verification or not.

How to see who paid for the blue tick on Twitter

Go to any account with a verified tick mark, tap on the tick and you will see either of the following:

This account is verified because it’s notable in government, news, entertainment, or other designated category. This account is verified because it’s subscribed to Twitter Blue.

The former accounts are also showing an Official tag, for now. However, this is visible only in selected places like the profile page, for example.

How to install and use the Eight Dollars extension on Chrome

Eight Dollars extension is available on Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons store. Just install it and ensure you have it enabled.

Open the Twitter website on your browser and you will see Actually Verified and Paid for Verification badges alongside the Twitter handles at all places wherever the tick would appear.

Now, for some reason, if you want to install the extension manually, follow the instructions on the developer's GitHub page.
