Among Us ‘Hide n Seek’ new mode Overview

The game starts off by revealing the impostor, the “killer” right away. Then, the players skip the vote, and let the Killer count up for about 15-30 seconds as everyone hides before announcing “ready or not, here I come”. And, then the real fun begins: crewmates are still working to complete their tasks (or, it’s up to the players), but the known Killer is up and about. Players could try and bait them around and coordinate their location, but the Killer has the advantage of not getting voted out. Winning condition is the last crewmember standing (even if the game technically says that the imposter is the winner).

Additional fun is added when playing with friends with audio on and using a proximity sensor — nobody can hear you unless you are nearby, and it definitely helps the immersion. Not too long ago, with the official addition of the new roles, the Impostors could also play as Shapeshifters, taking on the shape of another crewmember, and that feature carried well into the community’s “Hide and Seek” games.

What’s New with the Game?

The developer mentioned that the “Hide ‘n seek” mode comes with many additions. There are new things that a player needs to survive from, and there was even talk of screaming. It’s not specified what the screaming entails, but we’ll soon find out. The game will also offer new cosmetics and pets for players to choose from, as well as pets.

The pets can be petted now too, as mentioned in The Verge. These are just the additions mentioned by Among Us via Twitter, but it was also implied that there is more. There are changes in some of the major mechanics in the original game, but it could be fun for those who prefer openly hunting crewmates if they do get the role of the imposter. One thing hasn’t changed, and that’s crewmates being careful not to get killed while doing tasks.

Instagram 2022 Overview

Instagram recently introduced its in-app feature that lets users create their 2022 recap reel. This feature will allow users to look back at their memories in a short video. Users can create reels with soundtracks of some famous artists and share them with their followers.

While it can be seen that other applications like Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, and more have also introduced their ways to create the year-end recap for their users. Instagram has rolled out reel templates for its users that allow them to create their own 2022 recap by choosing pictures and videos.

How to create a 2022 recap reel.

Once you select your template you can upload your media, and you will have your shareable reel. The reels vary in length depending on what celebrity’s template you click on. Bad Bunny’s is the longest template, which lets you add up to 21 media clips. DJ Khaled’s and Badshah’s templates are the shortest, allowing up to 15 clips, and Ferguson’s is right in the middle, with a max of 17 clips.

 Google Pixel 8 leaks reveal Overview

The first set of Google Pixel 8 series leaks have surfaced online. Google is months away from launching its next Pixel smartphone series. The company is expected to first launch the Pixel 7a at the Google I/O 2022. In the second half of 2023 is when we expect the company to launch the Pixel 8 series. Much like this year, there could be two variants of the Google flagship series — the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The company has obviously not confirmed any details but the rumor mill has churned out the first round of leaks already. A new leak has now revealed some key details about one camera feature that could potentially improve the Pixel’s optical performance. According to Kuba Wojciechowski, the next Google flagship smartphones will support staggered HDR. The feature essentially lets the sensor capture different exposures simultaneously with the same pixels.

Features of Google Pixel 8

In addition to the codenames, WinFuture claims to know some specs for the devices. Now, these are very early specs and could change, but some are pretty much guaranteed. One of the guaranteed specs is the inclusion of Android 14, which should be codenamed “Upside Down Cake.”Another spec is a new processor, which could be codenamed “Zuma.” This would undoubtedly be the Tensor G3 chipset. So far, this early leak suggests the G3 could have the same modem of the G2, which is made by Samsung. Other specs for the G3 are unknown as of yet.

Finally, the Google Pixel 8 could have a resolution of 2268 x 1080 while the Pixel 8 Pro could land at 2822 x 1344. That first set of resolutions makes sense as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 have 1080p displays, but the Pixel 8 Pro’s alleged resolution is a bit strange considering both the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro have 1440p displays. Still, like we said, it’s early days yet and these specs could change.

We will likely learn a lot more about the Pixel 8 series as we head into 2023.

Oppo promises 4 OS updates for  2023 flagships Overview

OnePlus is planning to step up its software update game. At a roundtable event held in London, OnePlus revealed it will provide 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security patches to selected devices launching in 2023.

It’s likely that only the flagship smartphones will get this special treatment. We can expect the upcoming OnePlus 11 series to be a part of this new update plan.

Which Models Will Be Included?

This update will be applicable for the following series of phones in 2023:

• Find X3 Pro

Conclusion

The move by OPPO will be seen as a welcome development and a significant plus for their customers, as it will provide them with a substantial amount of time to enjoy the latest updates. This move means that OPPO customers won’t have to worry about their phones gradually becoming obsolete and being left behind in terms of updates and security patches. Oppo, one of the leading Chinese technology companies, recently announced they will be offering four Android OS updates, as well as five years of security patches, for their 2023 flagships.This is groundbreaking news for the Android market, and a major step forward in terms of customer service. Since the launch of Android 11, smartphone makers have been designing software specifically for their phones, and the long-term security of their customers has been a major concern.

Windows 12’s Major Design Overview

Windows 12’s Major Design Leaked by Microsoft shared a screenshot of an unnamed Windows user interface, where it also unveiled its new Surface PC lineup. However, an image showcasing a variant of the company’s flagship OS that the users were still unaware of, has caught attention. Thus, the Redmond Company might have shown a preview of the Windows 12 UI.d by Microsoft

The illustration shows the new user interface. It has seen different variations of this design layout and does not look like the Windows interface we are used to. That was shown in a brief cutaway, including a version that houses the system icons/elements along the top in a translucent bar instead of just floating on the desktop, a floating search box in the top middle, and the weather appears in the top left.

WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL CHANGES?

The image seems pretty much similar to the current Windows 11, while notably there’s the Wi-Fi icon which was placed at the top right corner of the screen, instead of the traditional taskbar.

• Also, the weather/temperature badge was on the top left corner of the screen, instead of the bottom left corner of the screen.
• The next Major Windows OS update is reportedly codenamed “Next Valley” and it is expected to be officially out by 2024.

OUR THOUGHTS

Although it could seem very anticipating and exciting, what we believe is that there’s not really much of a difference between Windows 10 and its present and upcoming successors, the only notable changes are the addition of new fancy features, along with some surface optimizations for apps.
