Turnkey security solutions are meant to be easy for customer firms to use, to minimize the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks. Techopedia Explains Turnkey Security The definition of turnkey, a service that is fully set up and ready to go, applies in particular ways to digital security services....

Skyrim remains one of the most prominent games on the market today. It is somewhat surprising that, so far, it has not been made into a Skyrim board game. That is, until now. Modiphius Entertainment is finally bringing Bethesda’s bestselling fantasy RPG to tabletop. Modiphius’ previous projects include the Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms tabletop, a wargame based on the franchise but not Skyrim particularly. So, the company seems like the natural choice for adapting Skyrim into a board game....

On December 10, during the massive Disney investor call, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy laid out the future of Star Wars, both in theaters and on the Disney+ streaming service. Nine shows and two feature films are en route to bring fans and audiences to the world-famous faraway galaxy in the coming years… but among them all, one project, already announced years prior, was missing from the lineup. Rian Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy did not make an appearance at the Lucasfilm blow-out, leading many to wonder if it even exists at all....

PlayStation’s senior art director has explained why the DualSense’s buttons don’t adhere to the same color scheme Sony has used for the past 26 years. As is implied by its name, the PS5 is the 5th major console to be released by PlayStation. Sony has taken a very “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach in the past when it comes to its consoles. With only one of its major consoles failing to break the 100 million units sold threshold so far, it makes sense that PlayStation wouldn’t ever want to mess with its formula too much....

Jimmy Hopkins lives a sorry existence. He’s been thrown out of every school he’s ever attended, and now he has to put up with loads of posh pricks in Bullworth Academy while his mum jets off on her fifth honeymoon - for an entire year! To put it plainly, Rockstar doesn’t miss. Red Dead Redemption 2 didn’t click with me, personally, but I’ll be damned if I can’t admit how spectacular it is....

Days Gone‘s recent PC port gives us all a chance to revisit one of the PlayStation 4’s most divisive titles, but what are the odds that port eventually leads to the PlayStation Studios team greenlighting Days Gone 2? If you’re looking for a short answer to that question, it would have to be “incredibly low.” If you need more information than that, then it’s important that we first provide a little more context about Days Gone‘s release and reception and how both contributed to its dwindling sequel prospects....

What once seemed unthinkable has happened. Warner Bros. decided to put a superhero movie, and what is the studio’s highest profile 2020 release, directly on streaming. Wonder Woman 1984 is going to HBO Max the same day it opens in theaters. And like that, the Hollywood movie industry as we know it has changed. Confirmation of the shift came from director Patty Jenkins, who verified the news via social media after rumors of an HBO Max debut for Wonder Woman 1984 began to leak....

The release date for the Shadowlands expansion of World of Warcraft is less than a month away, and pre-sales are reportedly doing very well. Although many players were disappointed to see Shadowlands delayed, it looks like a lot of people have faith in the pushed-back date making the upcoming expansion even better at release. World of Warcraft has been a staple in the world of MMORPGs for over a decade now, and during that time, players have seen seven different expansions, with 2018’s Battle for Azeroth being the most recent addition....

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, World War 2 shooter Battalion 1944 is setting its sights on the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield, two of the biggest in the genre. Ever since it first burst onto the scene, Battalion 1944 caught the attention of many a gamer. Granted, about a decade ago the game might have fallen under the radar in a sea of historical FPS titles, but now that most shooters have shifted towards future settings, Battalion’s World War 2 setting feels novel, almost refreshing even....

Microsoft has been ramping up promotional efforts for its Xbox Series X and S consoles with a November 10 launch date looming just beyond the horizon. And while the console wars aren’t quite as heated in 2020 as they were in previous generations, the marketing for the green machines has emphasized a droll sense of humor recently, separating the systems from the PlayStation 5 by throwing shade. With similar kinds of humor coming from the company’s Xbox Game Pass social media and the Xbox brand generally developing a cavalier attitude online in recent years, it’s not surprising that the green team’s taken a direction like this as it tries to drum up talk and support for the Xbox Series X and S....

According to social intelligence platform Synthesio, Microsoft took the biggest piece of the pie during E3 2017 with 26.04% of all online mentions being about the company. The Xbox One X was included in 71....

As many console owners can attest to, current-gen systems can get pretty loud while operating, with many comparing the sound to a small jet taking off. However, it appears that the Xbox Series X won’t have that issue, thanks to a “whisper quiet” fan and some neat cooling tricks. Today, Microsoft detailed the Xbox Series X’s specs, offering a complete look at just how powerful the console will be. While the console certainly has what it takes for 4K gaming, it also features parallel cooling architecture, which divides airflow across multiple streams, according to Microsoft....

According to a recent update from developer Bungie, the first week of Destiny 2 will not feature an appearance by the mysterious vendor Xur. Instead Xur will make his official Destiny 2 debut on September 15th, during the second week of the game’s release. News of Xur’s return, as well as a full month’s worth of events for Destiny 2, were revealed by Bungie as part of the studio’s weekly update....

As the name suggests, the Yakuza series isn’t afraid to touch upon heavy subjects as players delve into the brutal world of organized crime. However, Sega’s series ensures that the games don’t take themselves too seriously by juxtaposing its hard-hitting side with some of the most lighthearted and humorous sequences in all of modern gaming. Not only are players able to indulge in hobbies like karaoke, dance, bowling, baseball and darts, but they can also supplement their main adventure with bizarre, hilarious, and ultimately memorable side quests....

For as popular as the Yakuza series is nowadays, it wasn’t always like that in the west. There was once a period where Sega had basically given up on localizing new entries for English-speaking audiences, which resulted in a very belated release for Yakuza 5 on PS3. Similarly, two spin-offs that were steeped in Japanese history, Yakuza Kenzan and Ishin, have never made the jump despite fan desire for them. That could be changing, though, if these new comments from series producer Daisuke Sato are anything to go by....

This is also sometimes called a return code, or in some cases, an error code, although the terminology here may be slightly different. Techopedia Explains Exit Code The simple explanation for an exit code is that the executable program is programmed to return a whole number that shows whether it was successfully executed....

What Does Feature Selection Mean? In machine learning, feature selection is the use of specific variables or data points to maximize efficiency in this type of advanced data science. Techopedia Explains Feature Selection With feature selection, engineers and data scientists are able to tune out a lot of the “noise” in a given system. Using feature selection helps to discard redundant or irrelevant data, and this culling can make the machine learning results stronger....

We’ve all been there. You have a few drinks. Then a few more. And then, boom, you wake up the next day with your neurotransmitters gone haywire, your system flooded by congeners, the blood vessels in your head dilated to twice their size due to glutamate rebound, aching from mitochondrial dysfunction and the inflammatory response to being poisoned by a probable human carcinogen. Mate. In that diminished state, you’re good for nothing....

The world of superhero movies was in a different place during the summer of 2008. Back then, Christian Bale was still Batman, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was still considered a relatively risky gamble as it launched Phase One, and Zack Snyder hadn’t released a superhero movie. Not yet. As a director synonymous today with foreboding capes and cowls, and the breed of zealotry such an on-screen interpretation can elicit from fans, Snyder was still a Warners wunderkind in ’08: the guy who directed the surprise 2006 blockbuster 300 and was about to debut his most ambitious film to date, Watchmen....
