The American company Amazon on September 24, launched a game streaming service. The Internet giant expects to thus compete for a share in the nascent segment of the games market. Amazon’s competitors will be Microsoft, Sony, and Google, which have already launched their own similar services (Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Now and Stadia, respectively). As noted by the Financial Times, none of the four largest technology companies in the United States have games as their main business, but they all show increased interest in this market. For example, Apple does not produce games, but is one of the largest gaming companies in the world in terms of revenue from them.
Game streaming or cloud gaming allows users to access games without downloading software, buying discs or consoles. And since all the computer calculations necessary for the game process are performed at the facilities of the service provider (in the cloud), the player does not need an expensive computer either. According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon’s Luna game streaming service will be available on personal computers, mobile devices and Fire TVs from Amazon. You can play using a keyboard and mouse, as well as controllers Xbox One, DualShock 4 or your own, released for the opening of the service, the Amazon Luna controller ($ 49). The initial subscription will cost $ 5.99 per month. The service is currently only available in the United States. Currently, the service has more than 50 games available: mostly not new,
“This is just the beginning. Games are the new battleground for tech companies with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft all want to get involved. A few years ago, Amazon noticed that 35% of the evening traffic on their Amazon Web Services cloud platform was going to Netflix, and they launched the Amazon Prime Video video streaming service. Now the situation is repeating itself with games. About 15 years ago there were about 200 million gamers in the world, and today there are 2.7 billion. Neil Camping, an analyst in the technology sector of the financial company Mirabaud Securities, told the Financial Times.
The volume of the world games market this year, according to the estimates of the research agency Pelham Smithers, will reach $ 165 billion, and according to the estimates of the IDC agency – $ 200 billion. In the early 80s. of the last century, this market for reproduction facilities consisted of two-thirds of slot machines, and a third of game consoles. Since the 90s. personal computers gradually began to take their share, and since the 2000s. the expansion of mobile devices began, while the share of game consoles declined from almost 50% in 2000 to a projected 20% in 2020.The most popular game console so far remains Sony PlayStation 2: released in 2000 and sold 157 million PC. Released in 2013, the PlayStation 4 has sold over 110 million copies. But all of these numbers pale in comparison to mobile sales: since the beginning of the year alone, the three largest smartphone manufacturers have sold approximately 140 million units each. each. In 2020, Pelham Smithers predicts that mobile devices will account for $ 85 billion in gaming revenue, $ 40 billion in personal computers, $ 33 billion in gaming consoles, and $ 2 billion in other market segments, including game streaming.
According to the agency Markets and Markets, the cloud gaming segment of the global gaming market in 2019 brought in $ 306 million, and by 2024 will bring in $ 3.1 billion. With such growth rates, tech giants clearly have something to fight for.
Deutsche Bank head of private customers, Manfred Knof, will head Commerzbank next year. The chances are good that the experienced manager will successfully reorganize the second largest German private bank.
That was quick. Hans-Jรถrg Vetter only celebrated his debut as head of the Commerzbank supervisory board in August. Within a few weeks, he can now present a successor to Martin Zielke, who resigned in the summer: Manfred Knof, 55 years old, and the head of private customers at Deutsche Bank. It should start in January of next year. If the European Central Bank approves the change – which is very likely
The choice of Knof has it all in several respects: That the supervisory board managed to quietly find a new CEO for the troubled big bank within a few weeks surprised many in Frankfurt. Such searches usually take months.
In addition, some incumbent Commerzbank board members are likely to be disillusioned. Recently, rumors have been circulating inside and outside the bank that chief corporate client Roland Boekhout is hoping for a promotion. From the dream.
Urgent need for renovation
Knof is seen in the industry as an ambitious visionary with plenty of digitization experience, who implements his strategies largely silently. When he integrated the previously legally independent private and corporate customer bank of Deutsche Bank into the group, this went largely unnoticed by the public. Before that, he worked his way up to Germany’s head in the Allianz Group And restructured the subsidiary, which is so important for the Allianz Group, also largely without making any noise – which is why he earned himself respect from employee representatives.
Knof will need the experience. The Frankfurt money house has plenty of problems – too high costs, too little income. Business is coming under additional pressure due to the corona pandemic and the resulting corporate bankruptcies. The newcomer at Frankfurter Kaiserplatz has to renovate the bank under high pressure and calm down nervous shareholders. Reduce more employees, close branches, which accelerate the slow digitalization. The headwind is programmed.
Anyone who expects the bank, which is 15.6 percent state-owned, to merge with a competitor – such as Deutsche Bank quickly – could be disappointed. In the vicinity of the supervisory board, one hears: Knof is firmly convinced that a second large private bank is needed in Germany alongside Deutsche Bank. That is why he wanted to stabilize the money house so that it could remain independent. It won’t be easy.ย ย

According to a new report, the premiere of Black Widowย is not so close, the film that would arrive in November of this year decided to move its date to 2021.ย Marvelย continues with its plans to take it to the cinema, but it will not be in 2020.ย
As you all know by now,ย Black Widowย is a solo movie of Scarlett Johansson’s character that takes place in those lost years after the events of Captain America: Civil War and is not connected to the rest of the events of Phase 4 (although it is already said that it will be the starting point to introduce Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova as the new Black Widow).
This is one of the most anticipated films (and Marvel took too long to make it) and everything seems to indicate thatย Marvelย really wants it to hit theaters, but, after the rumor (from the same source that revealed that Mulan would arrive at Disney +) that assured that Black Widow could also be released exclusively on the Disney streaming platform, it is said that now we will have to wait until May 7, 2021 to see it.ย
OFFICIALLY DELAYEDโข Disney has delayed the release of Black Widow. It will now open May 7,2021โข SEE YOU IN A MINUTE๐ค โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ
The site We Got This Covered explains that the rumor of the premiere on Disney + comes from a reliable source and that the news ofย Mulanย obviously increases the possibility thatย Black Widow willย end up following in her footsteps, despite everyone keeping their fingers crossed that the The industry will have already recovered so that the film can be released inย Novemberย of this year.ย
What do we know about Black Widow?
After weeks of rumors, conspiracy theories and leaks, Marvel finally showed a first look at the solo movie ofย Scarlett Johansson’sย character and, far from being an origin story as previously thought, it was actually a reunion, a meeting between Natasha and her old companions (she callsย Florence Pugh’sย character sisterย ,ย which gives us to understand that they both went to the same spy school) to fight a new enemy.
We can see a bitย of Natasha’s past,ย there is a small scene where you see a group of dancers that are a reference to those old KGB Russian spy training programs, but also a lot of action, fights and hits, with a Comedic touch from Stranger Things’ Hopper himself, who appears to be the “dad” of Natasha’s family’s team of heroines.
It’s clear this is a movie to celebrateย Black Widowย in all his glory and honor the sacrifice he made in Endgame.
In addition to that first action-packed trailer,ย Marvelย has just released a special teaser in which they let us see a little more of that mysterious masked villain that Natasha is going to face upon her return to her country.
The trailer asks who exactly isย Taskmaster?ย Where do your skills come from? And what does he want with the runaway Avenger? At the moment, the questions are unanswered, although we know thatย Taskmasterย has the ability to mimic the abilities of anyone he comes into contact with, but that is part of the mystery that Natasha is going to have to solve if she wants to survive.
What does the first trailer reveal?
Many of the movie scenes wereย shot in Budapest,ย which plays an important role inย Black Widow’sย story in theย MCU.
Remember that inย The Avengers, Black Widow and Hawkeyeย shared some jokes about how fighting the Chitauri reminded them of Budapest, and in Avengers: Endgame, the two shared a mission on planet Vormir, and Hawkeye joked about how they were “very away from Budapest “. This could indicate that this was the place where the two characters first met, and that means there is a possibility of having a flashback showing that.
The Black Widow trailer also featuresย Florence Pughย as another Black Widow and Rachel Weisz as another KGB veteran, meaning there could be more like them and they were part of an intense training program.
Is it the end of Black Widow?
The trailer contains some Avegrens easter eggs showing some of the most important moments of Natasha’s career, many fans believe this means that this will be the last time we will see her in action and thatย Florence Pughย could take her place inside the MCU.
Pugh playsย Yelena Belova,ย who was also trained as a Russian spy on the same show as Natasha, and she might be the one to take her place in the MCU after the movie.
What will happen in the movie?
The trailer shows us that Black Widow is on the run from someone , possibly the authorities afterย Captain America: Civil Warย , in which she became a fugitive after disobeying orders and allowing Captain America and the Winter Soldier to escape.
Marvel is said to have filmed these shots at theย Maconย terminal station , but it’s designed to look likeย Albany in New Yorkย . Also, we finally see Natasha rally her old team to fight a new masked villain.
The Black Widow trailer also confirms thatย William Hurtย is back asย General Thunderbolt Rossย , but he appears in a younger version, meaning he may have previously featured in Black Widow’s life and this is all about a flashback. Ross will likely be in charge of conducting the search for Natasha Romanoff today, as he is in charge of enforcing the Sokovia Accords.
When it premieres?
Black Widowย has a new release date for May 2021, this after being delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Wonder Womanย is getting closer and closer to returning to the movies andย Patty Jenkinsย celebrates it by revealing small details that leave us more and more excited to seeย Gal Gadotย again as Diana Prince, this time in the 80s.
Wonder Woman 1984ย is one of the most anticipated sequels of the year and we already know some details about the story and the new characters.
Patty Jenkins, the director of the film, is saving the most important details for when the film opens in theaters, but she already said that this story takes a significant jump in time, to the 80s, we thought that meant thatย Chris Pineย He would not be the Steve Trevor we met in the first movie (because he died and would also be an old man) but it seems they found a way to bring him back to help Diana Prince face a new generation of villains.
Months ago it was confirmed that comedianย Kristen Wiigย would join the cast as Barbara Minerva, better known as Cheetah, one of the most famous villains in the Wonder Woman comics,ย Pedro Pascalย would also take on the role of another famous villain from the comics and Chris Pine, who appeared in the first film, would return Steve Trevor, who does not recognize the world he is in now.
Now, a new image shows a first confrontation between Wonder Woman and her new enemy. Diana appears wearing her golden armor and tie to fight Cheetah, who appears wearing an animal print look as a reference to her identity as a villain. The fight seems to be happening inside theย White House.ย
It is known that the story takes place in the 80s and that, because of the timeline, it is not connected to the rest of the DC movies (do not expect to see Batman or Superman), but, beyond that, I do not know they know many details.
The first trailer was officially revealed duringย Sao Paulo Comic Conย and it’s everything we were promised and more. This time around,ย Patty Jenkinsย plays nostalgia with a story set in the ’80s, giving the story a retro twist that celebrates the legacy and trajectory that Wonder Woman has had in the comics and on television.
More punches, more kicks, more female empowerment, and more action, here are some things fans can expect fromย Wonder Woman 1984ย and the trailer is the ultimate proof that DC is raising its game to try and beat Marvel.
Diana Prince has a new outfit and she’s ready to kick some butt one more time.
In addition, in the middle of the coronavirus epidemic, the studio has just shared a hypnotizing new poster that shows Wonder Woman as we have never seen her before.
What you didn’t see from the first trailer:
The invisible jet
In both the comics and the TV series, Wonder Woman uses an invisible jet to travel undetected, it looks like she and Steve are going to use it in the sequel.
New “old” look
The golden suit had not appeared in the series or in the previous film, but it is a reference to the 1996 Kingdom Come comic in which Diana wears a golden suit that was created for her in Themyscira, this helps her resist bullets, explosions and fly.
Steve Trevor
It was thought that the Steve Trevor of the sequel was not the same as the previous one, but, there are details in the trailer that hint that it is the old Steve is back in some way. This could be the work of Maxwell Lord, the new villain.
The power of lightning
At one point, you can see how Wonder Woman seems to take lightning and use it to fly, this is a reference to the comics as she is the daughter of Zeus.
Friends / enemies
Not much is known about the story yet, but you can see that before she became the villain of the story, Kristen Wigg is actually friends with Diana Prince.
Trevor’s Ranch
In one scene it is also seen that Diana visits a place called Trevor’s Ranch, this is supposedly in honor of Steve Trevor and one of the proofs that the new Steve we see here could be a trick from Lord, who promises to give her everything what you want.
New career
In the first film, Diana Prince becomes curator of the Louvre museum, it seems that now she has a new position in a museum, she appears showing Steve some pieces. In the series, Diana works at the CIA, so this is a big change.
Here are some things to know:
The Release Date
The film would hit theaters in June 2020, but due to the coronavirus and quarantine, the decision was made to delay its release until the end of this year. The new date is for December 25, 2020.
“When we gave the green light to Wonder Woman 1984, it was with every intention of being seen on the big screen and we are excited to announce that Warner Bros. Pictures will release the film in theaters onย August 14,ย “Toby Emmerich, Warner Bros. Pictures. president, said in a statement to Variety. “We hope the world is in a safer and healthier place by then.”
Steve Trevor
Chris Pineย plays Steve Trevor’s character in the first movie, and if you remember correctly, he died in order to win the battle, but here he is back, following the same story from the original series in which Diana Prince meets the nephew of Steve years after fighting alongside him in WWII. Here, instead of being Steve’s nephew, she appears to be the same and has not aged.
Villains
Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord
Patty Jenkins shared on Twitter an image of a vintage television in which Pascal could be seen dressed in a suit, with a Donald Trump hairstyle, and sitting in the back seat of a car, making a face of “don’t trust me”. Jenkins did not share any more information, but fans of the film have been searching for information and are sure that the actor could play Maxwell Lord, a character who made his debut in the 1987 Justice League comics.
According to the comics, Lord is a very suspicious and Machiavellian businessman who convinces the heroes of the Justice League to join a new team of superheroes with whom he wanted to save the world, but his motives were not good, he had an agenda secret and very bad intentions.
Years later, the heroes discover that Lord is crazy and that what he really wants is to dominate the world and “save” it from the dominance of superheroes. In the story, Wonder Woman is forced to kill Lord, which causes a conflict between her, Batman, and Superman, and ends up destroying the Justice League.
Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva
It was confirmed months ago that comedianย Kristen Wiigย would join the cast as Barbara Minerva , better known as Cheetah, one of the most famous villains in the Wonder Woman comics.
Cheetah is one of Diana’s most famous adversaries, she wears a feline outfit, typically with cheetah spots, tail and claws, and has agility and strength. Several characters have assumed the Cheetah name, Priscilla Rich was the original Cheetah in the 1940s and was a debutante with a split personality who felt overshadowed by Diana, her other side was that of Cheetah, a hunter who executed great thefts. Later, Priscilla’s niece turns into Cheetah in later issues.
Barbara Minerva appears until the 80s and is a British archaeologist who invokes a feline god who transforms her into a super human. Minerva is obsessed with the bond and Wonder Woman mythology.
During theย Brazilian Comic Con Experience,ย a first glimpse of the villain was presented thanks to the merch that was available on the film, there you can see Cheetah with an animal print suit, very different from the traditional look she uses in the comics . Now, the latest trailer for the movie revealed Wigg completely transformed into Cheetah and using her powers to fightย Wonder Woman.ย
The Synopsis
Fast forward to the 1980s whenย Wonder Woman’s next big-screen adventure finds her facing an entirely new foe: The Cheetahย . As previously announced, the film also stars Kristen Wiig in the role of Supervillain The Cheetah, as well as Pedro Pascal. Chris Pine also returns as Steve Trevor. “
The update for the new season of Call of Duty comes on September 29, 2020. New is another Battle Pass, two operators, and a tunnel system.
The announcement should not surprise anyone. Last doubts have now been finally dispelled: Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare are getting aย Season 6. The new cinematic trailer introduces two important innovations: a tunnel system opens under Verdansk, in which you fight in a very small space. There are also two other operators that you already know from the campaign.
We have collectedย the most important changes and information about the start of Season 6ย for you in our overview. If you haven’t completed your Battle Pass yet, don’t panic – it’s raining XP again for the finale of Season 5:
What you need to know before starting
When does it start?ย Season 6 begins on September 29, 2020. One day after the current Battle Pass expires.
New Battle Pass?ย Yes, as usual, there is a new pass at the start of the season that you can level up. It has 100 ranks again and costs 1,000 CoD points again.
How long is the season?ย There is no official announcement yet. The seasons usually run for eight weeks.
Is season 6 the last?ย That is also not yet known. However, what is certain is that Warzone will continue and will, in the future, be related to the upcoming Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. Dataminers also want to have discovered at least a 7th season in the code.
You can, of course, also find all information on the official CoD blog.
The tunnels under Verdansk
The stadium opened last season, this time it’s going underground.ย A dimly lit subway network becomes the new arena of war. Things should get down to business between parked trains and dark tunnels because there isn’t much space to evade.
It is still unclear whether the trams can also be used for movement, such as the train from season 5. However, the assumption is reasonable. After all, the new trailer shows six stations that are conveniently located around the center of Verdansk:
Two new operators confirmed
Farah:ย The founder of the Urzikstani Liberation Force played an important role in the Modern Warfare campaign. Now the tough fighter joins the multiplayer and battle royale as an operator. You will automatically activate her with the new Battle Pass. You will get Farah at rank 0. With her operator mission, you can earn more skins for her.
Nikolai:ย The Russian soldier is a close friend of Captain Price and the leader of the Chimera. It is only available to you at the end of the Battle Pass. Rank 100 unlocks it. You can also unlock alternative skins for him when you complete his operator mission.
What else happens in Season 6?
So far, there is no further information about the new season.ย That is guaranteed to change in the next few days. Of course, we will keep you up to date. According to rumors, the three new weapons from Season 6 are already known.
The fact that modern gadgets collect information about their owners has long been no surprise. It is also not surprising that โvoice assistantsโ – programs built on the recognition of human speech – have joined the surveillance of users. And if the products of Western IT giants usually use the obtained data to advertise goods and services, then the super-successful development of the Chinese corporation iFlytek has learned to send the overheard directly to the government of the PRC. It is the American side, whose developers have mastered the techniques of espionage no worse than their Chinese counterparts, the loudest about this fact.
I really hope they ban TikTok. The only people I want spying on everything I do are Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, the Government, Apple, Amazon, every website, my FitBit, every app…
A study of China’s path to mastering one of the most promising IT technologies was published by Wired, which named the founder of Chinese speech recognition Julian Chen – an employee of the American digital giantย IBMย , polyglot, Doctor of Columbia University and a martyr of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
The fact is that one of the first programs that allowed dictating messages without touching the keyboard was developed by IBM, and in 1994 the company started looking for someone who would “teach” its product the Chinese language.ย The ambitious task was entrusted to Chen, who immediately realized that this innovation would completely change communication in his home country: in the computer era, Chinese writing was a unique problem for a long time, since there was no obvious way to enter more than 50,000 characters on a QWERTY keyboard.
To create his dictation mechanism, Chen broke down the most common Peking dialect of Chinese into tiny elements called phonemes.ย He then hired 54 native speakers and recorded how they read articles from Renmin Jibao, the main publication of the Celestial Empire.ย The IBM Research Laboratory in Beijing also contributed.ย Two years later, the IT specialist triumphantly presented his development in China.ย Even then-leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin, participated in the demonstration of the program, and soon personal computer manufacturers throughout China, including competitors IBM, began to preinstall this prototype of voice assistants on their devices.
Distinguished Followers and Their Paths
Among those who were inspired by the triumph of IBM and Julian Chen was Liu Qingfeng, a 26-year-old PhD student in the Speech Recognition Laboratory at the prestigious Hefei University of Science and Technology.ย And in 1999 he founded the iFlytek company.ย Despite the skepticism of American competitors, Qingfeng was not afraid to challenge them under the slogan “The voice is the basis of culture and the symbol of the nation.”
The future Chinese IT giant launched its main development, the iFlytek Input application, in 2010.ย At the same time,ย Appleย acquired Siri, a talking digital concierge who could answer questions from the iPhone owner.ย The functionality of the Chinese assistant was immediately focused on decoding the human voice.
It turned out that Siri and Input were the first swallows of voice interface technology. They were later joined by Microsoft’s Cortana,ย Amazon’s Alexa, andย Google Assistant.ย At the same time, the Chinese application immediately had an important distinctive feature – a data confidentiality agreement, which allows it to collect and use personal information of users for “national security” purposes without their consent.ย This nuance in the activities of iFlytek, which owns 70 percent of the Chinese voice communications market with 700 million end-users, has subsequently been keenly interested in the Western press.
Consumer services are important to iFlytek, Wired reported, but about 60 percent of the company’s profits come from what the company’s 2019 report describes as โgovernment-subsidized projectsโ. These projects include an “Intelligent Crime Investigation Assistance System” and support for big data technologies for the Shanghai government.ย In support of this fact, scientists from the Institute for the Future of Humanity at Oxford University, who study AI management in China, immediately discovered Liu Qingfeng’s connections with the Chinese authorities.
An impressive part of the study published by the American edition is devoted to the relationship of the Chinese IT giant with the Chinese government.ย But is everything so smooth for global digital companies from the United States itself?
At the epicenter of scandals
No matter how hard American corporations try to cast a shadow over competitors from China who threaten their hegemony in the global high-tech market, the voice assistants they have developed find themselves in the center of spy scandals more often.ย So, recently it turned out that Apple practices the covert inclusion of the already mentioned Siri in order to record user conversations, even when the program is not activated for them.ย And this violation of privacy is practiced by the Apple company systematically.
Earlier, it was reported on the Global Web that Windows 10 came with pre-installed settings that gave Microsoft the ability to track user-entered text and voice information, not to mention location, contacts, calendar entries and browser history.ย This data was probably used by the IT giant to display targeted ads, but the source also did not rule out that Microsoft is “looking” into user files at the request of the US ruling regime, although the developer’s “privacy policy” does not explicitly imply this.
In turn, the contractor Google VRT NWS in July 2019 “leaked” one of the Belgian publications a thousand records of voice assistants.ย According to them, the journalists were able to identify several people.ย At the same time, the Apple contractor admitted to the Britishย The Guardianย that on the records at his disposal, you can often hear how people have sex, buy drugs or describe their health.ย This also happens when people accidentally press the call button of the voice assistant.
In August 2019, Apple and Google announced that their contractors would stop listening to users ‘conversations with voice assistants Siri and Google Assistant, and that their employees listen to recordings of users’ conversations with devices only to improve the quality of their work.ย Whether this is true or not, remains unknown.
Miracle or bad
Voice assistants, like other digital services, have long become a routine part of everyday life.ย But in order to interact with us as efficiently as possible, applications need to recognize us.ย And in principle, there is nothing reprehensible and dangerous in the collection of information about users for training algorithms, if it is carried out in full accordance with the law, with the consent of the user, and also if the data is provided with adequate security.ย As the experience of Chinese and American services shows, ensuring privacy is not among their priorities.ย But even knowing this, people will not stop using comfortable and familiar gadgets.ย Stop using mobile apps today is like voluntarily giving up cutlery and eating with your hands: inconvenient, out of date, out of fashion.
It just so happened that tech giants were the first to realize that data is the new oil.ย And in order to maintain and increase their leading position in the global digital market, they will strive to obtain information about users at any cost.ย And illegal espionage (for any, even supposedly humane) purposes, no matter how cynical, is just one of their tools.ย No more.
The main question is – if companies are ready to do anything for the sake of data, then who will protect the user from total arbitrariness?ย Who should you go to for help?ย Paradoxically, only to the state.ย As the world experience shows, it is the state structures that are the only ones who can compel the tech giants to comply with the rules of the game and human rights.ย But the authorities must have a legal basis for this.
In Russia, the right of a citizen to the security of personal information from this summer is guaranteed by the basic law.ย Perhaps this fact will be unusual for us for a long time, and for someone it will be unpleasant.ย Exactly until it turns out that your Siri diligently records all your adventures.ย For unclear purposes.
On Thursday, September 24, new rules for the verification of household meters began to operate in Russia.ย This is reported byย TASSย with reference to the head of Rosstandart Alexei Abramov.
Abramov noted that the amendments that have come into force establish the priority of electronic registration of the results of registration of verification and approval of types of measuring instruments.ย According to him, such registration will be the only legally significant confirmation of the results of metrological work.ย At the same time, paper certificates on the verification of meters will be issued only at the request of users, they will be of an informational nature, the head of the department said.
The results of metrological work will be transferred to the Federal Information Fund for Ensuring the Uniformity of Measurements (FSIS “Arshin”).ย Without this, they will not be valid, Abramov added.
