Fallout: London delayed due to (very late) next-gen update of Fallout 4
While the launch date of Fallout: London had finally been set for April 23 (because Saint George’s Day and 1st day in the “game”), the decision by Bethesda to publish – after 2 years of delay – the update “next-gen” day for Fallout4 forces Team FOLON to postpone the deadline at the last minute. For what ? Quite simply, because like every Fallout update, the version number of the game changes and therefore, an update of the Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE) is required. However, F4SE is an essential component for many mods, especially those modifying the game in depth, like this one.
In other words, publish Fallout: London two days before the Fallout 4 “next-gen” update (which in reality has nothing next-gen, since it is above all a slight adaptation of Fallout 4 to existing hardware and again, without the shadow of DLSS or FSR or raytracing) would make no sense, because the mod would be unusable 48 hours later. A potential frustration for players that the independent developers of Fallout: London obviously want to spare them and that is to their credit. And like F4SE is maintained by a third party, well, they have no choice but to wait until the necessary thing is done.
Exploring the Price History of iPads: From Launch to Now
We invite you to look at the starting price history of “iPad” going back 14 years since the first model was launched in 2010. Find out that Apple has lowered the price: there is a student price. Keep an eye on the price of “iPad Gen 11”
Apple announced the date of the first Apple Event of 2024 with “Let Loose” which is expected to announce the launch of new iPad models, including the iPad Pro, M3 chip, OLED screen, including the 12.9-inch iPad Air , M2 chip and could arrive together with the new Apple Pencil.
However, Apple’s new products have also received criticism for their relatively high prices. But if you just look at “iPad” you will find that the price has dropped since its first launch. Contrary to various criticisms
From a survey on the launch price of the iPad in the United States, it was found that the first generation iPad or iPad 1st Gen, launched on January 27, 2010, had a starting price of 499 US dollars, or about 18,500 baht, and it came with 3 storage sizes: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB with internet connection support in 2 models: one model that supports Wi-Fi only and supports Wi-Fi with 3G.

Titan (Titan) is the largest moon of Saturn. Astronomers revealed that Titan likely formed along with Saturn billions of years ago. Titan appears to have many similar characteristics to Earth. But it’s a very different place. The weather is very cold. Rain and oceans, on the other hand, are made of liquid hydrocarbons such as methane. Water, on the other hand, is frozen until it becomes ice. But on Titan there are sand dunes as well.
A vast sand dune field that covers more than one-eighth of Titan’s surface. These sand dunes are about 100 meters high, 1-2 kilometers wide at the base, and can stretch for hundreds of kilometers. It is thought to have formed naturally on the moon through erosion or condensation from hydrocarbons in the atmosphere.
UN urges to restore harmony with nature and adopt sustainable production
NY. António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), warned yesterday about the effect of global chaos caused by pollution, the extinction of species and ecosystems, as well as greenhouse gases.
Humanity acts as the delinquent son of Mother Earthhe assured regarding International Planet Day.
These actions, he added in his message for the commemoration, harm nature and humanity while endangering food production, polluting the oceans and air, creating a more dangerous environment and slowing down sustainable development.
Guterres called to restore harmony with nature, adopt sustainable production and consumption, as well as protect from harm.
To this end, he urged to create jobs, reduce poverty and promote sustainable development along this route.
That means stopping biodiversity loss, ending pollution, and dramatically reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.he reiterated.
At the same time, he urged support for indigenous peoples, communities and others most affected by the climate and biodiversity crises.
Guterres called for providing climate justice to countries on the front lines and quickly mobilizing the financing and support they need to protect nature and promote sustainable development.
Nations must develop new climate plans that limit the increase in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius,
Countdown to the Arrival: When Can We Expect the Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update?
If you’ve recently revisited the Fallout games or are exploring them for the first time, you’re likely eager to experience Fallout 4’s next-gen update. If you’re curious about the exact timing of the next-gen update’s release, you’ve come to the right place.
A few weeks ago, we received a wealth of information about the upcoming next-gen update. In addition to optimizing the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the update will introduce various graphical enhancements and bug fixes tailored to each platform. Furthermore, it will include complimentary Creation Club content such as Enclave Remnants additions, new makeshift weapons, and Halloween-themed workshop decorations.
So, when can we expect all of these exciting updates? Bethesda confirmed that the update is scheduled to launch on April 25, but did not specify an exact release time. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait patiently for further details.
However, if we were to make an educated guess, the update may likely become available between 5 PM BST and 9 PM BST. This estimation is based on the update announcement on Twitter at 4:24 PM BST, followed by a Steam news update at 8:22 PM BST. This timeframe translates to after 12 PM ET/9 AM PT/6 PM CEST/2 AM AET,
The most economical SSDs for notebooks, what is the consumption during the runtime? Which SSD is best?
In a normal desktop PC, the power consumption of an SSD is practically irrelevant. However, the world can look completely different in a notebook. Here +- 1-2W can have a noticeable effect on the runtime.
Especially if you have an “ultrabook” that is optimized for a particularly long runtime.
But which is the best SSD if you’re looking for maximum battery life? How big are the differences in practice here? Let’s find out in a little practical test!
The SSDs in comparison
I am sending the following SSDs into the comparison here:
Corsair MP600XT
Crucial P3
Crucial P5 Plus
Intel 600p
Kingston NV2
KIOXIA EXCERIA Plus G3
Lexar NM790
OCZ RD400
Samsung 980
Samsung 990 Pro
SK Hynix P31
SK Hynix P41
The Intel 600p and the OCZ RD400 are older SSDs that I included in this comparison simply out of curiosity.
Otherwise, I am particularly excited about the performance of the SK Hynix models, which are considered very economical.
The test setup
In all SSD tests on breaking.org you will find an assessment of the power consumption.
Congo accuses Apple of illegally exploring minerals in its territory
2024-04-25 12:25:40
A Democratic Republic of Congo accused the Apple this week of using minerals illegally extracted from its territory in production chains, which includes the production of devices such as the iPhone.
Represented by a group of international lawyers based in the cities of Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Paris (France), the African nation said it believes that the Cupertino giant is being used tin, tungsten e tantalum (known as 3T materials) from the eastern region of its territory, which has been suffering for years from illegal resource extraction.
Many of these activities, as recalled by a report published by Amsterdam & Partners LLP — one of the law firms responsible for representing Congo — are commanded by militias and terrorist groups, which are known for employing child labor, devastating the environment in search of these resources and violently oppressing local populations.
Although Apple has stated that it verifies the origins of the minerals it uses to make its products, these claims do not appear to be based on concrete, verifiable evidence. The world’s eyes are wide closed: production of essential 3T minerals in Rwanda is close to zero, and yet big technology companies say their minerals come from Rwanda.
