Humans have wrestled with the nature of the universe since time immemorial, but we’ve had science to guide us in recent generations. Most experts on physics and cosmology accept the inflation model, a straight line from the Big Bang to our infinitely expanding universe. However, some scientists hold onto the possibility of a “Big Bounce” instead of a bang, and they’re still that could upend the conventional wisdom. Throughout the 20th century, scientists learned a great deal about the early universe. Most of what we learned supports the idea of an inflationary universe, one that has enough mass to continue expanding forever after the Big Bang.
In a new twist, Sony reps are refusing to grant the Cyberpunk 2077 refunds CD Projekt Red has and are instead telling players specifically to wait. Reports on how Sony does (or doesn’t) feel about Cyperpunk 2077 have gone back and forth, but there are screenshots backing up claims that the company isn’t processing rebates and is, in some cases, telling players to wait until CD Projekt Red patches the game. So today’s update, Sony support refused another refund for . They said even if the devs say refund it, they won’t do it. Lied about the game not being broken and lied about what CDPR stated.
Online retailers worldwide have been dealing with an unwanted influx of automated purchasing bots since early this fall. These online bots, which originated in sneaker-collecting sites, allow unethical individuals to snap up more of a given product than they would otherwise be able to purchase. Online distributors such as Newegg have no interest in seeing their own products resold on eBay for more money, and so the company has made a change to its refund policy that was intended to hurt botting. Unfortunately, it’s also hit regular customers, too. Up until now, if you bought a bundle deal on Newegg, you could return part of the bundle.
Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission wrapped up last week when the sample container parachuted down in Australia. The mission certainly looked like a success at every step along the way, but the true test is whether or not it collected the sample it flew out there to get. Today, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) confirmed that Hayabusa2 did indeed bring back a piece of the asteroid Ryugu. JAXA launched Hayabusa2 in 2014, and it didn’t reach its target until 2018. The team spent months scanning the asteroid, which turned out to be much more craggy than expected. Eventually, JAXA settled on sampling locations, and the probe did its thing.
Nvidia’s decision to rebuild Quake II as a ray tracing title was, in my opinion, a really clever way to show off what the feature was capable of, while simultaneously giving people a reason to return to the well-regarded classic title. Up until now, however, the only gamers who could enjoy it were folks who owned an Nvidia RTX GPU. While some games will run ray tracing on Pascal, Quake II RTX isn’t one of them. Now, however, AMD fans have an opportunity to enjoy Quake II RTX as well, apparently with Nvidia’s explicit help. Any GPU that supports the Vulkan Ray Tracing extensions maintained and developed by the Khronos Group can also run Quake II RTX.
File this one under “Expected, but glad we got confirmation.” Apple’s senior VP of hardware technologies, Johny Srouji, confirmed in a company town hall that the firm is designing its first 5G modem. “This year, we kicked off the development of our first internal cellular modem which will enable another key strategic transition,” . “Long-term strategic investments like these are a critical part of enabling our products and making sure we have a rich pipeline of innovative technologies for our future.” Apple’s decision to buy Intel’s 5G modem division last year made it clear that the company wanted to move in this direction, and it’s easy to see why.
CD Projekt Red, a developer whose stock has sagged 40 percent since it launched the long-awaited, much-hyped Cyberpunk 2077, has finally acknowledged that it launched an unacceptable, execrable product as far as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are concerned. To quickly recap: Prior to the launch of CP2077, CDPR refused to give out game codes for anything but the PC version. On launch day, gamers found out why. The game is horribly blurred on last-gen consoles. Its TAA implementation doesn’t appear to work effectively at the 720p (or less) resolution that last-gen consoles maintain, and the game looks far worse than other open-world titles that have debuted for last-gen consoles.
