The Next Call Of Duty Title Might Be A Modern Warfare One

There have been a couple of rumours about a possible Modern Warfare 4 release this year. However, there was no confirmation for these speculations. Until now. A former Call of Duty dev suggested that the next Call of Duty title might be in fact a Modern Warfare 4.

One (overly excited) fan tweeted “I’ll shit myself if it’s modern warfare”. Not only that he received an answer from Robert Bowling, but the response tweet can be considered a confirmation of the rumour: “You better buy some brown pants”.

Robert Bowling is the former  Infinity Ward Creative Strategist and Community Manager so we have plenty of reasons to believe him. More than that, the last Modern Warfare title was released 8 years ago, which is a long time. The franchise was quite popular and Infinity Ward has plenty of reasons to bring it back to life.

There are other things that fuel this rumours. A couple of American football players posted a video of themselves playing what seems to be this year’s Call of Duty at a private preview event. The video can be watched here and if you listen closely it appears that the players say “Modern Warfare 4” at some point.

Eurogamer also had an article about the speculations and the first words for the first four paragraphs spelled Modern Warfare 4. We do not know yet whether Eurogamer knows something, or it is simply making fan of the speculating fans.

Finally, to list the last clue, back in February Activision-Blizzard mentioned that Call of Duty 2019 is “rooted in some of the franchise’s most important history”, and it will come with a single player campaign. These are both clues which seem to suggest that Modern Warfare 4 is on its way.

Apparently, It Is Still Free To Upgrade To Windows 10

Microsoft had a big time in 2018 because, besides the fact that it gained recognition as the most valuable company in the world, they also offered a free upgrade to Windows 10 for a period of time, and now the Windows 10 is the most popular operating system, surpassing Windows 7 with a 39.22 percent yearly market share.

After the free boost program was launched, Microsoft declared that the program was going to be available until July 29, 2016, but later next year, in November 2017, the tech giant announced that the offer was lengthened until December that year. However, beginning with last year, you can still use the upgrade for free even though Microsoft clearly stated that the expiration date is final this time. January 6, 2018, was the last day of the assistive technology being free but the page is still functional until today!

You can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free

Users who lost the chance to upgrade the Windows 10 for free, will never want to pay $199 to get the latest variant of the Windows. However, upon checking, it has been discovered that the assistive technologies upgrade page is still available. You won’t have the tool that upgrades your operating system to Windows 10 for free because it has already been deleted, but some of the users declared they were still able to install their OS for free, with just a few alternative solutions. All that you need would be a licensed version of an older Windows OS installed on your system.

Even if Windows 10 is the most popular operating system in the world, it still has serious competition in the Mac OS, and if Microsoft can get more users to stay with their operating system or shift to it, the company will most certainly benefit. The free upgrade was commenced by the company to gain as many users as possible, and it was a success as more than 1.96 billion users have Windows 10 on their computers.

In conclusion, if the free upgrade is still available, only Microsoft can answer that question. However, with just a few adjustments, one can upgrade to Windows 10 by utilizing Windows 7 or 8. If you want the Windows 10 but you don’t want to pay for it, you can try a few workarounds to see if it will work for you or not.

iOS 12 Jailbreak Unc0ver Is Better Than The Original iOS 12: Bug Fixes, New Features, Increased Stability And Performance

Millions of people from all over the world use iOS every day. While the OS developed by Apple is quite popular among the fan base nothing is perfect. Many fans faced some problems when they decided to update their device, and iOS 12 was affected by several issues. However, the iOS 12 jailbreak known as Unc0ver is better than the original iOS 12, according to the devs.

Since the first version of the iOS 12 update released, some users have complained that their devices don’t work as expected. In most cases, users weren’t able to connect to a mobile network even if they were in an area with full signal coverage. Others said that they were able to call and send or receive messages, but they couldn’t access mobile data.

Other issues appeared when Apple released a rushed update which aimed to address some functionality that was included in a lawsuit between the Cupertino company and Qualcomm. Apple aimed to solve these issues by releasing other patches, but some bugs continue to persist.

iOS 12 Jailbreak Solution Known As Unc0ver Fixes Lots of Bugs of The Original iOS 12, and It Adds New Features, As Well

A well-known iOS 12 jailbreak developer has announced that he and his team managed to remove many of the bugs which continue to plague the OS. The developer answered several questions on a popular platform and listed all the problems encountered by users as time passed.

He underlined the fact that the OS continues to suffer from random freezes, sudden reboots, and memory errors. A beta version of the iOS 12 jailbreak called Unc0ver is already available, and power users are already testing the solution. At this point, the solution isn’t stable, and it is advised to wait until a stable version is released at some point in the future.

As expected, Apple continues to oppose all forms of jailbreak. The company was against the practice since the first jailbreak appeared for the original iPhone. The act of installing a jailbreak solution on an Apple product would render the warranty void, which means that if something goes wrong, Apple will not repair or replace your device even if it was purchased recently. However, iOS 12 jailbreak named Unc0ver seems to be better than the original iOS 12, so it’s up to you if you install it or not.

Windows 10 May Upgrade Can’t Be Done with External USB Plugged into the Computer

Testers have tried to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10, but they are facing some problems when doing this operation. The computers are being blocked from executing the command if they have an external USB or an SD card plugged into their PCs. The Windows 10 May 2019 is still in final testing and will be released in May.

Why Is the Upgrade Being Blocked?

The problem seems to be when all drivers have inappropriately reassigned different letters when external devices are connected to the computer. As you have observed by now on your Windows, the system is giving letters to all the intern or external drivers: hard drive, SSD, USB or SD cards. When the process of upgrading is taking place, those letters can be changed, but that’s the moment when the problem appears.

Nevertheless, to say, the real problem appears when the internal hard drive is affected. The external ones can be remove easily. If this happens with your internal hard drive, if the update is reassigned you a different letter, the damage caused can be significant. Imagine the worst scenario of your computer looking for files on a specific drive, but the files are no longer there because of the modified letter. Because of that, Microsoft has blocked all the upgrades to the new version, especially for the computers with USB devices attached. If you still want to upgrade your OS with the latest version, remove all your external devices and cards, and restart your PC. After that, the Windows 10 May 2019 should become available.

Finally, Microsoft has declared that these issues will be resolved with a future servicing update for Windows 10, and the testers have the issue fixed in build 18877. We are hoping that Windows wouldn’t make the same mistake this time like the one made with October 2018 Update.

Apple AirPods 3 Could Be Released Sooner Than Expected

Toward the end of 2016, the first version of Apple’s AirPods was released. Now, we’re already having AirPods 2. However, some rumors suggested that AirPods 3 could launch sooner than expected.

AirPods Became One of The Most Wanted Apple Products

AirPods proved to be a significant success because, although they were mocked at first, their popularity snowballed, almost reaching a status of trendy accessories. Even with their relatively high price, AirPods became a must-have item for most Apple users.

Last month, on March 20, 2019, the second version of AirPods came out, featuring improved battery life. Even though two years have passed until the company developed the second version of the earbuds, it seems that AirPods 3 could be launched earlier than we all expected.

It has been speculated they would come in 2020, but rumor has it that Apple is already engineering the next generation of earbuds, planning to launch them as soon as the end of this year. Keep in mind that no official announcement has been made yet so that this alleged news could be untrue.

Reportedly, as competing companies are developing their own versions of Bluetooth-powered wireless earbuds, Apple has sped up the design process to keep up with the market.

Rumour Regarding AirPods 3

Gossips also say that, despite the danger of lowering battery life, the new AirPods will feature noise cancellation. If Apple manages to pull this off with such a compact product, it’s guaranteed that it would be a significant event, leaving the competition in the dust. Other voices suspect supplementary health and fitness components will be included in the new features of AirPods 3.

Since Apple hasn’t made any public affirmations regarding these rumors yet, we shouldn’t put our blinded trust in them. In the scenario these speculations are accurate, we are surely going to find out soon enough, since, allegedly, AirPods 3 is going to be released this year.
