South Korean ‘World of Warcraft’ cooking show goes live tonight

The seminal MMORPG World of Warcraft may have dwindled from its peak of 12 million players back in 2010, but Blizzard’s still supporting the 12-year-old game with content and events. To celebrate the latest expansion, Legion, the studio built an elaborate cafe at Germany’s Gamescom convention that served themed food and cocktails. But for everyone who couldn’t fly out to Europe for some nerd cuisine, they’ve lined up the next best thing: A cooking show debuting tonight hosted by Choi Hyun-seok, a famous chef known for appearances on South Korean television.

Wow! Recipe? The Meal Is Ready, as it’s titled, debuts tonight at 11 PM KT. According to GameAbout, Choi a known WoW player, will cook dishes like ‘Hell Hound Sweet and Sour Fish’ and ‘Murlok Soup’ while guests share stories from and about the game.

Track Trump will keep tabs on the President’s first 100 days

President Trump was clear about the goals of his first 100 days in office before the election was even over, eventually laying out those goals in a PDF titled “Donald Trump’s Contract with the American Voter.” While Trump’s policies can often be obscured by his tweetstorms and rhetoric, the folks behind Track Trump hope to cut out all the noise and make it easy to track those promises in a simple, non-partisan dashboard that will hold the new administration accountable for the promises they’ve made to the American voters.

The site was created by Y Combinator president Sam Altman, along with cofounders Alec Baum, Gregory Koberger, and Peter Federman, and is laid out to be as straightforward as possible. Trump’s contract-bound promises are sorted into main categories like Immigration, Trade, Energy & Climate, Federal Government, Economic Policy, Education, Healthcare and Safety. Each bulleted item follows a simple stoplight system: gray means no action has been taken yet, yellow if the administration has started taking action on that particular policy and green if that policy has been implemented.

To keep things sane, the site’s founders say they will not be covering tweets or public statements — only making updates when work has actually been done to implement a particular policy. Updates to individual items, like the first steps taken to eliminate the defense sequester and expand military investment, will link directly to the primary sources. As with any tech project, the site is a work in progress and open to suggestions from the community and as Altman told Venture Beat, the site may pivot and focus on other issues once we’ve survived the first 100 days.

‘House of Cards’ returns for its fifth season on May 30th

Netflix couldn’t have found a more ideal moment to tease season five of House of Cards. In the midst of Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 45th president of the US, the streaming service announced that its hit show is returning on May 30th. The slogan for the new episodes appears to be “We make the terror,” which could signal that the Underwood family is still up to no good. No surprise there.

As a reminder, the fifth season will be the first without the show’s original creator and writer, Beau Willimon, who earlier this year said it was time for him “to move on with new endeavors.” The political drama could definitely benefit from fresh ideas though, since it seems to have lost a bit of steam compared to its first couple of seasons.

Questionable Rumor Suggests Group FaceTime is Coming in iOS 11

Group FaceTime calls will be a new feature introduced in iOS 11, according to an unverified rumor shared by Israeli site The Verifier. Citing “several people familiar with iOS development,” the site says group FaceTime calls are being worked on by Apple’s iOS 11 team, with some of the work taking place in Israel.

Said to be a “social” update that focuses on iMessage and FaceTime development, iOS 11 will reportedly let users start multi-person calls through a group conversation in iMessage. Up to five people at once will be able to participate in a call.

The Verifier is not a site with an established track record for accurate rumors, so it is not clear how reliable this information is. We’ve heard few details on iOS 11 at this point in time, so the rumor should be viewed with skepticism until backed up by a secondary source.

The site also says that Apple could choose not to release group FaceTime calls in iOS 11, instead saving the feature for a future update.

Group FaceTime calls have been a long-desired feature on iOS and Mac devices, and would go a long way towards bringing FaceTime more in line with Microsoft’s Skype software, which allows several people to communicate with one another through video chats.

iOS 11 will likely be released alongside new iPhones in the fall of 2017, but we expect to see a preview of the new software at the Worldwide Developers Conference, likely to be held in June of 2017.

Giuliani as Trump’s cybersecurity adviser is an unfunny joke

I had just finished hacking the Gibson when I heard the news: Rudy Giuliani, the guy who said he was gonna solve cybersecurity, had just been named Trump’s cyber advisor. I hopped onto our hacker mafia’s government-proof encrypted chat app to make sure everyone knew that we were in real trouble. When I got no response from Mr. Robot or Anonymous I got my rollerblades on, and got out of my mom’s basement as fast as possible.

I dialed our ringleader with a secret, anti-authority encrypted phone app while hacking all the traffic lights between here and his mom’s basement as I raced over. When he picked up I blurted, “Stop hacking baby monitors and trying to crash the stock market!”

He yelled, “What?!” I realized I’d forgotten to take my balaclava off! I shouted that Big Rudy was the new hacker sheriff in town, and all us hackers were gonna have to go underground. Tears spilled down the front of my ninja costume as I wobbled on my ‘blades, telling him our days of taking out the internet for lulz and raking in piles of bitcoin from ransomed AOL accounts was over.

In reality, we have plenty of reasons to worry. Before Rudy Giuliani was named Donald Trump’s official presidential Cybersecurity Advisor, the former New York City mayor had made a number of things crystal clear about his intentions towards hackers and the cyber. For one, he’d been pretty up front about the fact that he got into cybersecurity dealmaking for the money. Giuliani was emphatic over many years and at every opportunity that he was going to be the guy to “solve cybersecurity.”

Hacking, he said on several occasions, was like cancer. It was the worst word he could think of to call information security research. And finally, he never wavered from his belief that hackers were not only like the mafia, but that they could never, ever be trusted — especially so-called “reformed” hackers. Giuliani always made sure that people knew he couldn’t be fooled by that principle of the justice system.

All his talk of hackers as permanent criminals spreading cancer has no doubt bolstered the beliefs of conservatives in Trump’s extreme right pocket, who didn’t need help imagining pedophiles and lawless balaclava-wearing basement dwellers (or Asians in faraway hives). Like most things we’ve seen come out of Trump’s surreal fright show, Giuliani’s working hard to encourage that people and press wallow in these manipulative, lurid fantasies.

That’s why most hackers and infosec professionals found it all kinds of disturbing that Trump will be using Giuliani as his go-to for advice on all things cyber. It’s not just that he counts one of his qualifications as the fact that he’s given over 300 speeches on how everyone’s ignoring the scourge of hacking. Giuliani’s not great at following advice when it comes to security. When he was advised against moving New York City’s emergency services into the World Trade Center because it wasn’t a good call, he did it anyway. Right before 9/11.

It didn’t make anyone in the infosec sectors feel better when Giuliani announced he would be forming a cybersecurity team for the President-elect. Rudy isn’t exactly a team player when it comes to computer security matters. When the NYPD commissioner built a “computer statistics” system for crime, Giuliani did the equivalent of having him banished — forcing him out — to prevent credit going to anyone but Giuliani.

According to the Trump Transition’s official announcement, Rudy’s team will advise the leader of the free world on issues “concerning private sector cyber security problems and emerging solutions developing in the private sector.”

Things only got worse when, the minute the announcement was made, infosec denizens did impromptu security assessments of Gulianisecurity.com and Gulianipartners.com. Both servers were described as having sat for years with the equivalent of a “hack me” sign on them — meaning that both were likely hacked long ago. The laundry list of years-old unpatched vulnerabilities, nearly two dozen active exploits, and overall security failures was astonishing.

Team Giuliani didn’t respond to all the public attention around the nearly-comic website security failings of both sites. By January 14, both Gulianisecurity.com and Gulianipartners.com suddenly failed to resolve in DNS, making both sites unavailable to the public. But, as of this writing, the server addresses remained (just visit http://209.238.99.227/), showing that whoever attempted to pull the sites only removed the DNS entry — but left Giuliani’s vulnerable servers online.

Whether or not Giuliani manages those servers himself is beside the point: This is the worst possible resume anyone in this position could have. It’s embarrassing and avoidable, and displays a blatant disregard for even the most basic cybersecurity practices. It is the behavior of someone who carelessly believes he is an exception to the rules everyone else must live by. It sends a terrible message to an industry struggling for both legitimacy and a voice with regard to US policy, and in every way possible.

Giuliani has been interested in cybersecurity since he read an FBI report in 2003 predicting a hacking crimewave, and instantly decided he needed to build a business around it. That business was Giuliani Partners, a security consulting company. His naming to Trump’s post comes one week after Giuliani Partners, had announced its new partnership with Blackberry. The recently released BlackBerry Secure platform will provide the underlying software for Giuliani Partners’ cybersecurity consulting product, whatever that will be.

Under these auspices, the future of cybersecurity policy looks dark. Given how much Giuliani hates hackers and believes he’s the king of cops, we can probably expect to see the cyber version of “stop and frisk” coming out of Trump’s inevitably opportunistic Giuliani-led Cybersecurity Working Group.

It’s clear the incoming powers-that-be don’t think very highly of hackers and hacking. Nor do they understand the subtleties of how hackers are actually the entire underpinning of infosec, let alone how important it is to this sector that someone like Giuliani models even the most basic website security. By Giuliani saying stupid things about infosec while pretending entire hacking communities didn’t just call out his own cybersecurity as literally the worst possible ever, he’s a complete hypocrite for even stepping into the ring. And if there’s anything that gets exposed faster and louder than an anti-gay senator on Grindr, it’s hypocrisy in security.

This is a business and culture that believes the teeny-tiniest details matter really and has witnessed firsthand that one careless step can topple businesses, and ruin lives. Unlike Rudy Giuliana, the people in cybersecurity have dedicated everything to giving a shit about getting things right.

So if Giuliani and his sideshow of opportunists want to think of hackers as some kind of criminal cancer, they’re doomed from the start. Thought pieces by armchair infosec pundits can try to tell us Giuliani should be taken seriously in this role all they want. But I can’t think of doing anything worse for the future of cybersecurity right now.

Tesla’s latest 100D models focus on range, not power

Tesla has proved that the Model S P100D goes as fast as you’d ever want, and it now has a model that goes farther than ever. As expected, it quietly started selling the Model S 100D with the same battery as the P100D, but lacking the performance tweaks. The new 335 mile range (compared to 315 for the P100D) is the best ever for a Tesla (not counting the upgraded Roadster), and by far, the most range of any EV on the market. At the same time, Elon Musk’s company released the Model X 100D with 295 miles of range compared to the performance variant’s 289 miles.

If you’ve got $80,000-plus to spend on a car, it frankly seems like a no-brainer to get the 100D instead of the 90D in either the Model S or X, as both cost just $3,000 more. The larger battery in the Model X gives it an extra 38 miles of range, while the Model S gains 41.

Mechanically, the main difference between the P100D and 100D is the drivetrain, as Tesla forum users point out. The P100D option features a larger rear “high performance motor,” giving it more oomph but slightly less efficiency (you can see that by clicking between “dual motor” and “P100D” on this product page). As Musk points out in the performance launch post, the P-model battery is also upgraded to safely increase battery output.

To put things in perspective, the Model S 100D still hits 155 mph and gets from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. Sure, that’s slower than the P100D’s 2.39 seconds with the new Ludicrous Plus mode, but it’s still about the same as a Corvette Stingray. Yet, the 20 miles of extra range could easily make the difference between being comfy at home and stuck on a freeway. And the P100D costs nearly $40,000 more than the 100D, which seems like ludicrous amount (sorry) for a bit more acceleration.

Honor 6X review: Setting the standard for budget phones

The Honor 6X is proof that an affordable device doesn’t have to be a disappointing buy.

The bottom line

Cheap is cheap, but it doesn’t have to be a waste of money. The Honor 6X may be cheap and at times cheap out, but it’s definitely worth its $250 price point. In fact, if all you’re looking for is the most basic smartphone in a societally acceptable package, the Honor 6X is it.

That an affordable device doesn’t have to be disappointing is what Huawei hopes to rely on to sell its new Honor 6X in the United States. Unfortunately, it’s going to have a heck of a time getting the word out without a comprehensive marketing strategy, and without the crutch of a carrier partnership there is no entity on the ground actively evangelizing for the brand. It’s really too bad, because the Honor 6X is so much better than what the carriers typically offer in the affordable tier.

The Honor 6X is a really decent package. It features a good mid-range processor, a big battery, 1080p display, and a camera that takes photos worth sharing. Granted, it isn’t particularly distinguishable when you compare it to the other dispensable devices saturating the market, but the Honor 6X does set an example for how budget smartphones should be sold to money-conscious customers.

• The battery will get you through the day
• You really can’t tell how cheap it is

The Bad

• Micro-USB in 2017???
• It ships with Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.1 👎
• Over time, it probably will feel like a cheap phone

About this review

I, Florence Ion, began testing the Honor 6X for this review on January 11, 2016. The phone was running Android 6.0 Marshmallow underneath the veil of EMUI 4.1.

Honor 6X Hardware

I like the look of and feel of this thing. Whereas most smartphones under $300 feel like bottom-of-the-barrel clearance bin finds, the Honor 6X’s solid construction tricks you into thinking you actually paid more for it. Of course, once you start using it, you’ll realize that you didn’t.

Most smartphones under $300 feel like bottom-of-the-barrel clearance bin finds but the Honor 6X’s solid construction tricks you into thinking you actually paid more for it.

The Honor 6X comes in three colors: gray, gold, and silver. The black and aluminum model featured here is a bit bland compared to its siblings, though the other two variants are worth hunting down if you’re considering purchasing one. Be forewarned, however, that the Honor 6X still employs Micro-USB. That might be favorable for those of you who’ve yet to upgrade to the new standard, but why would you choose not to? Especially when the Axon 7 Mini costs about the same and is equipped with USB Type-C! Join the club, Honor!

Let’s talk about that processor for a second. The Huawei-made Kirin 655 octa-core processor is capable enough to run Snapchat, Instagram, and a heavy load of mobile Chrome tabs just fine. Games like Solitairica and Reigns ran fine, too, though there was occasional stuttering in between scenes. Loading times were also longer than usual, and occasionally there were touchscreen delays, but the jury’s still out on whether it’s a software or hardware issue.

The battery life on the Honor 6X is extremely impressive. It’s a giant battery pack coupled with a lower resolution high definition display, so you’ll get the energy savings though you won’t have the most stellar 5.2-inch display on the block. That’s okay! The battery life is worth it. The Honor 6X managed about eight and a half hours in a PCMark battery rundown test with the screen set just above 200 nits. As long as you don’t use the Honor 6X at the highest screen brightness — you won’t, because it becomes almost too bright — you’ll likely experience similar results.

Honor 6X Cameras

The cameras are the best part of the Honor 6X.

The cameras are the best part of the Honor 6X — and I didn’t think I’d be saying that about a budget device. The Honor 6X is equipped with dual rear-facing 12-megapixel and 2-megapixel cameras, both of which offer a wide aperture range (actual aperture is f/2.2) and can shoot 1080p video.

While you’re not getting flagship quality photography here, the Honor 6X does perform well in low light situations and comes equipped with a manual shooting mode that lets you hold the shutter open for up to eight seconds. That’s more than you’ll get with other phones at this price.

Of course, budget phones come with their compromises. The camera will produce blown-out, overexposed outdoor scenes and blurry indoor candids from time to time, so when you get frustrated with that part of using a $250 smartphone, you can employ any of the Honor 6X’s 16 different camera modes to cheer you up.

It’s nice to see that Honor is honoring its users on a budget by not forcing them to compromise.

Take a chance at light painting (samples of which you can peep in the gallery above), set up a time-lapse, or get up close with the wide aperture mode, which allows you to shoot photos with a shallow depth of field (you can also sample that in the gallery above). There aren’t many smartphones at this tier that offer such a range of camera modes, so it’s nice to see that Honor is honoring its users on a budget by not forcing them to compromise.

Honor also takes great pride in its abilities to market to the youth of the world, which is why it didn’t skimp on the front-facing camera. The Honor 6X boasts an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, which looks good! I’m still not a fan of the beauty mode, though, because I feel like it’s too intense at times. But I finally figured out how to use that makeup mode and it can be convincing if you stick to the natural looks. The augmented reality couldn’t keep up with my facial expressions, though:

Overall, I’m pleased with the Honor 6X’s camera performance, and while it’s more consistent at pointing-and-shooting than the Axon 7 Mini, it doesn’t offer as much dynamic range.

Honor 6X Software

The Honor 6X comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow buried underneath Huawei’s rickety EMUI 4.1.

There’s not much to say about an Android smartphone that ships with 2015’s operating system in 2017. The Honor 6X comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow buried underneath Huawei’s rickety EMUI 4.1. I don’t like an interface without an app drawer and my heart palpitates at the mere thought of having to unlock the 6X and witness its cramped home screen.

Thankfully, EMUI 5.0 is en route to deliver the Nougat update, as well as the ability to hide those oft-used apps in a drawer of their own. For now, you can rest easy knowing that the Honor 6X has some of the same features your Pixel and Galaxy S7-wielding brethren, like a night mode that yellows out the screen so that it’s not migraine-inducing, and fingerprint gestures that are a cinch to set up.

Honor 6X The Bottom Line

A budget smartphone doesn’t have to be a compromise. Rather than bundle in extraneous features, Honor paid attention to how the general populace uses their mobile devices and built around that, so that even if you’re dropping a mere $250, you’re still using something that can keep the pace with everyone else.

The execution of the Honor 6X is certainly promising, but I’m still doubtful about whether it will have any major traction with its sale numbers. Until Huawei gets a carrier in the bag, it’s left floundering for buyers on Amazon, and that’s really too bad. I would love to see more U.S. carriers push the purchase of a device like the Honor 6X over the LG K3, for example. People who are “on a budget” deserve smartphones that work well.

The Honor 6X isn’t the perfect implementation, but it is paving the path.

Star Wars: Force Arena review: The best and worst of mobile gaming, plus Star Wars

Bringing Star Wars action to mobile like you’ve never before.

Star Wars: Force Arena is a mobile game that’s brimming with potential, combining the most popular trends in mobile gaming — collectable cards, tower defence, and mobile online battle arena (MOBA) — into one cohesive strategy game that’s addictive as hell and a blast to play. Star Wars fans will love it, especially if they enjoyed the latest film in the franchise, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, as the game allows for hypothetical recreations of intense battles between heroes from the Rebel Alliance and the Imperial Empire.

Essentially a marriage of the gameplay from Clash Royale and Vainglory, South Korean game developers Netmarble have done a great job of combining the troop card casting fun of Clash Royale with the smooth MOBA-style fun of Vainglory, throwing you into the boots of your favorite Star Wars characters in action-packed battles. Win and your rank increases, helping you to reach higher tiers that feature better cards in your card packs and pitting you against similarly ranked opponents.

READ: Beginner’s Guide to Star Wars: Force Arena

But before I go too much further praising this game, let’s discuss the most glaring weakness — strip everything away and this is but another card collecting game, where the actual goal outside of the thrilling three minute online skirmishes is to unlock more card packs and upgrade your troop cards using credits you’ve either earned in battle, or purchased via in-app purchases. This tried and tested mobile formula is fantastic for padding the pockets of game developers, but is a constant point of frustration for many mobile gamers. If you’re the type that justifies investing your own money into the game to make progress smoother, the in-game Shop will help you reach your goals. If you hate this gameplay model all together, you’re not going to like it here.

Strip everything away and this is but another card collecting game… If you hate this gameplay model all together, you’re not going to like it here.

For the rest of us, Star Wars: Force Arena offers tightly refined gaming that really brings out the “war” side of Star Wars like you’ve never experienced. But before heading into battle, you must first build your battle deck around a Legendary card — heroes from the original Star Wars trilogy as well as newer characters to the Star Wars franchise from Rogue One are currently available. This is the character you will be controlling on the battlefield. The remaining seven card slots are filled with troop or support cards which you summon into battle by spending regenerating energy points.

Each hero has special abilities and skills that offer advantages and disadvantages in the battle arena, and it takes some amount of experimenting to learn how to properly play with each character. Fortunately, you’re able to trade in a Legendary card for a new, random hero if you don’t like your current stock of heros. As you progress, you will eventually unlock Unique cards, which are super-charged troop cards that are linked to a specific hero. As you advance to the higher tiers, you may find yourself hamstrung in battle if you don’t play a hero with its associated Unique card, as they have the potential to really swing the momentum in the heat of the battle.

There are 10 Legendary cards available for both the Rebels and the Empire, each paired with their Unique troop, along with 20 other support and troop cards for both sides, which opens up seemingly limitless deck combinations and allowed for a great mix of strategies.

Battles take place in a number of iconic locales from the film franchise, and configured in the same two-lane tower defence formation as you find in Clash Royale for 1 vs. 1 battles, and an expanded three-lane arena available for 2 vs. 2 battles. Matchmaking is typically quick and I’ve experienced few connectivity issues during battles. Teaming up for a 2 vs. 2 battle is especially well-executed here, as the bigger arena allows for truly epic battles to unfold. There’s also a guild system included, which allows you to chat, play friendly battles against fellow guild members, and team up to battle other guilds in 2 vs. 2 battles (feel free to join the AndroidCentral guild!).

Nailing the look and feel of Star Wars is important for fans, and this is easily the best-executed I’ve seen and heard on mobile.

The music and overall presentation here is on point, with sweeping cinematic scores really setting the tone under the familiar sounds of laser blasts, lightsaber hums, and the screeching squalls of Tie Fighters overhead. Nailing the look and feel of Star Wars is important for fans, and this is easily the best-executed I’ve seen and heard on mobile.

Adding to the replayability are missions, which help you to unlock new Legendary cards and earn credits by completing goals such as earning victories for the Empire, or updating cards. It’s an extra layer of support that rewards committed players and helps to ease the grinding nature of upgrading cards and levelling up.

Finally, as with any online game, the issue of keeping things balanced is something that will make or break the experience for the average gamer. As of the writing of this review, Netmarble is preparing to release its first game balance update based on in-game data and community feedback gleaned from the early days since its global release. You can read more about the changes being introduced on the Star Wars: Force Arena forums, which are also a great place to provide your own direct feedback to the game developers. It’s early in this game’s cycle, and given the hype surrounding the Star Wars franchise as a whole, this game should be well-supported throughout 2017.

If you’re a Star Wars fan, there’s a good chance you’ve already checked out Force Arena. If you haven’t, you really owe it to yourself to give it a try. Despite the familiar free-to-play catchings of the card collecting mechanics at its core, the strategy and action it delivers in battle is as good as it gets on Android, all while staying fairly true to the source material.

How to clear your Google Play search history

We all have searches we’d rather forget.

We all go on app kicks that could skew our future search results. We may need to cover our tracks after searching for certain kinds of apps) on Google Play. We need to clean things up after our stupid friend/coworker/kid brother searches for apps on our phone as a joke. And when it comes to cleaning our Google Play search history, things are blissfully simple.

Open Google Play.
Tap the three-line menu button.

Swipe up to scroll down.

Tap Settings.

Tap Clear local searches.

Now, notice that the setting we used only clears Google Play Search history on the local device. If you want to clear search history from more than one device, you’ll need to visit your My Activity page in Google and delete the searches individually. You might also want to take the time to purge some other “activities” from your history.
