  • CD Projekt Signs New Deal With The Witcher Author Andrzej Sapkowski

    Geralt is in safe hands.

    Although Netflix’s new show The Witcher is making headlines around the globe right now, if it wasn’t for CD Projekt’s video game version of Geralt, the entire series based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels might not even be as well-known or successful as it is today.

    With this in mind, it comes as a relief to hear the Polish fantasy author and Polish video game developer and publisher have signed a new agreement further solidifying their relationship.

  • US PlayStation Store Holiday Sale Boasts Over 1,500 PS4 Discounts

    The big one.

    The European PlayStation Store gets a mammoth January sale, and now it’s North America’s turn to get in on the action. Dubbed the Holiday sale, the US Store’s gargantuan offer includes over 1,500 PS4 games and add-ons, which is frankly ludicrous. What’s more, this is only “Round 1” of the sale, with even more discounts to come at the start of January.

    It’s hard to pick highlights when there are so many good games going cheap, but we’ll give it a go. Some of this year’s top games, such as Death Stranding, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and Devil May Cry 5, are included, plus blockbusters from previous years can be found here too. Far Cry 5, Monster Hunter: World, and Red Dead Redemption 2 are all reduced, and there’s way more besides.

  • Apple opens up its bug bounty program to all

    After announcing its bug bounty program at the Black Hat security conference back in August, Apple has now officially opened up its program to all security researchers.

    Before today, the iPhone maker’s bug bounty program was invitation-based and only select security researchers were able to take part in the program to find vulnerabilities in iOS.

    Now Apple has expanded its program by raising its maximum bug bounty reward from $200k to $1.5m and the company will also accept vulnerability reports for iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS and iCloud in addition to iOS.

    Bug bounty rules and rewards

    Apple also published a new page on its website which explains the rules of the bug bounty program along with a breakdown of the rewards researchers can earn for submitting reports on exploits they’ve discovered.

    In order to be eligible for a bug bounty reward researchers must be the first party to report the issue to Apple Product security, provide a clear report with a working exploit and not disclose the issue publicly before Apple releases the security advisory for the report.

    To earn the biggest reward the program has to offer, they will need to find security bugs that are new, affect multiple platforms, work on the latest hardware and software and impact sensitive components. Finding vulnerabilities in beta releases will earn researchers even more as Apple will add a 50 percent bonus on top of the regular payout for all bugs reported in a beta release.

    Additionally, the company will pay a 50 percent bonus for regression bugs which are bugs that were previously patched in older versions of its software that have accidentally been reintroduced in its code at a later point. Vulnerabilities that can result in zero-click or one-click attacks will also earn researchers top prizes but they will need to submit a full exploit chain to claim their reward.

  • Targus shows off it’s high-end docking solutions at CES

    Targus shows off it’s high-end docking solutions at CES

    Looking to turn your laptop into a high-end, ultra-powerful desktop workstation? Targus has long been an industry leader in the workspace docking world, and that’s only set to continue thanks to a slew of new docking solutions that the company introduced at CES. 

    In fact, Targus has its hands in all aspects of high-end docking solutions. The company not only creates physical docks for mobile workstations, but also offers the software to be able to more easily manage you or your company’s workstations. The result? Whether you or your company operates a BYOD setup already, is interested in transitioning to one, or simply needs to more effectively manage multiple brands at a time, Targus has a powerful solution for you.

    Perhaps the most interesting new release from Targus is the new Targus MiraLogic Workspace Intelligence System, which has actually won a CES Innovation Award this year. There’s plenty to love about this system — and it’s all about optimizing the workstation. The system is actually a blend of both hardware and software. On the hardware side, you’ll get intelligent devices like the MiraLogic Universal Smart Dock — which supports dual 4K monitors, can charge through USB-C ports at up to an impressive 100W, and more. Other devices include the MiraLogic Smart Power Strip and Desktop Power Strip, which capture data on power consumption and sends that to the software.

    Speaking of the software, it’s super smart. Using the cloud-based software, you can see exactly how each workstation is performing. You’ll get asset management features in real-time, and even be able to remotely control each individual workstation.

    Of course, Targus also offers plenty of awesome solutions for individual workstations — and they’re perfect for taking advantage of the performance inside your laptop, and making it feel more like a desktop. For example, Targus also recently launched the Targus Dock 570, which is another CES Innovation Award winner. This dock allows you to connect to a whopping four 4K monitors, while also offering power delivery to your laptop. That’s pretty impressive — and makes Targus a clear leader in the space. It’s compatible with a range of laptops on the market — so no matter what model you use, if it’s relatively modern, this dock should do the job.

    Targus makes docks for all models of laptops too. For example, the company makes a few Thunderbolt 3 docks that work perfectly with Apple laptops, including the Dock 221. These devices can connect to a MacBook’s Thunderbolt 3 ports and bring increased connectivity and added screen space.

    As you can probably tell, Targus has poured its energy into developing high-end docking solutions for any situation — but the company isn’t working alone. In fact, it has been working with the likes of DisplayLink, Samsung, Microsoft, and even Qualcomm over the past few years to ensure that its docking solutions work with any product you’re likely to use. The Qualcomm partnership is particularly interesting — as it means that you can expand your Snapdragon 8cx-enabled laptop using a Targus dock. All these partnerships ensure that Targus remains at the top of the food chain when it comes to docking solutions. And, the partnerships also mean that Targus; competitors really can’t match its expertise.

    You can learn more about Targus’ new products, and buy docking solutions for yourself, straight from the Targus website
