PlayStation Plus’ monthly trio of free games may have leaked early. Reliable leaker Dealabs, which keeps dropping details on additions to the monthly subscription service, claims that the main titles for this month will be Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Biomutant, and Divine Knockout (DKO).

The games will reportedly be available starting next week, December 6, on the PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Deluxe/Premium plans. The tipster claims that the titles will be available on both PS4 and PS5 and will be available to pick up by January 3rd, 2023.

If confirmed, of the three options, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is undoubtedly the biggest steal – featuring the entirety of BioWare’s critically acclaimed sci-fi trilogy, which is revered for its branching stories.

The subtitle hints at visual enhancements tailored for the new generation and more than 40 DLCs from all three games, including promo weapons, armor, and packs.

At the price of free, Biomutant is another decent option that lets you unleash hell through a mix of martial arts and gunfights in a post-apocalyptic world. Divine Knockout is a new fighting game that will launch on the aforementioned date December 6th for PC and PlayStation.

DKO would effectively become a launch title on PS Plus, just like Stray, except it was limited to certain PS Plus tiers. Of course, Sony still has no plans to offer its newer first-party titles — like Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarök — on a monthly subscription basis, unlike the Xbox model.

Sony’s financial report earlier this month showed that PS Plus had lost nearly 2 million subscribers, months after its June relaunch. The number decreased from 47.3 million to 45.4 million in the last quarter.

The report also indicated that PlayStation Network (PSN) monthly active users also fell to 102 million during the period – down 1.4 million from the previous year.

For now, players who subscribe to the PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Deluxe/Premium plans can claim the Japanese sequel Souls-like Nioh 2, the entire Lego Harry Potter Collection, and the atmospheric physics game Heavenly Bodies until December 5th. the latter two higher-level plans gained access to additional titles in November, including The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition, the entire Kingdom Hearts saga, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, and more.

In India, a PlayStation Plus subscription starts at Rs. 499 per month for Essential, Rs. 749 per month for Extra, and Rs. 849 per month for Deluxe.

Apple has rolled out an iOS 16 beta update that enables 5G on Apple devices in India, and the update allows users to test the pre-release software with support for 5G networks in the country.

This software upgrade will enable 5G connectivity on compatible iPhone models once service providers Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (Vi) enable 5G network access, sources said. Apple users must register for the Beta program on the website, install a profile and download the software.

Jio users using iPhone 12 and above in cities where JioTrue5G has been rolled out will be invited to the Jio welcome offer. The Jio Welcome Offer provides users with unlimited 5G data at up to 1 Gbps without any additional charges.

However, there is a condition that users of prepaid services must be on an active R. 239 and above plan. All postpaid users are eligible for this trial version.

Unlike its rival Jio, Airtel has not provided any special 5G offer to its customers. In cities or areas where the Airtel 5G network has been launched, users can try 5G services as part of their existing plan once they update to the latest Apple Beta software.

While an email sent to Apple did not require an immediate response, the company said last month: “We are working with our partners in India to bring the best 5G experience to iPhone users once the network is validated and quality and performance tested. is completed. 5G will be enabled through a software update and will begin rolling out to iPhone users in December.”

Airtel and Jio customers on iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and iPhone SE (2022) can enjoy 5G as part of Apple’s iOS 16 Beta software program. The Apple Beta Software Program is open to anyone with a valid Apple ID who accepts the Apple Beta Software Program Agreement during the registration process.

In order to install these public betas, users will first need to sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program with their Apple ID. Apple has a detailed guide to this in the beta FAQ section.

Once you’re enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program, go to Settings > General > Software Update from your selected device and download the update. It is advisable to have at least 50 percent battery and a strong Wi-Fi connection before starting the process.

Users can also provide Apple with quality and usability feedback, which helps Apple identify problems, fix them, and improve Apple software. The iOS beta comes with a built-in Feedback Assistant app that can be opened from the home screen on an iPhone or iPad.

Facebook Parent Meta Ordered to Pay $10.5 Million Legal Fees to Washington State

October 31, 2022 TECH TEAM

Facebook’s parent company Meta has been ordered to pay Washington state $10.5 million (nearly Rs. 86 crore) in legal fees and a fine of nearly $25 million (nearly Rs. 200 crores) for repeatedly and willfully violating campaign finance disclosure laws.

King County Superior Court Judge Douglass North ordered the court fees Friday, two days after hitting the social media giant with what is believed to be the largest campaign finance fine in U.S. history, The Seattle Times reported.

North ordered the company to pay by wire transfer, check, or money order within 30 days. The money is supposed to go to the state Disclosure Commission, which enforces campaign finance laws.

North imposed the maximum fine allowed for more than 800 violations of Washington’s Fair Campaign Practices Act, which was passed by voters in 1972 and later strengthened by the Legislature. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson argued that the maximum was reasonable given that his office sued Facebook in 2018 for violating the same law.

Meta, based in Menlo Park, Calif., did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment, the newspaper said.

The company previously said it was assessing its options in light of the decision.

The Washington Transparency Act requires ad sellers like Meta to store and disclose the names and addresses of those who buy political ads, the target of such ads, how the ads were paid for, and the total number of views of each ad. Ad sellers must provide this information to anyone who requests it. TV stations and newspapers followed the law for decades.

However, Meta has repeatedly protested the requirements, unsuccessfully arguing in court that the law is unconstitutional because it “unduly burdens political speech” and is “virtually impossible to fully comply with.” While Facebook maintains an archive of political ads that run on the platform, the archive does not release all the information required by Washington law.

In 2018, after Ferguson’s first lawsuit, Facebook agreed to pay $238,000 (almost 2 million rupees) and pledged to be transparent about campaign finance and political advertising. She subsequently stated that she would rather stop selling political ads in the state than comply with the demands.

Still, the company continued to sell political ads, and Ferguson sued again in 2020.

Meta, one of the world’s richest companies, on Wednesday reported a quarterly profit of $4.4 billion (nearly Rs 36,200 crore) or $1.64 (nearly Rs 130 crore) per share on revenue of nearly $28 billion (nearly Rs 2,30,400 crore rupees). , in the three-month period that ended September 30.
