How to customize your Xiaomi mobile with MIUI to the fullest

We are going to explain how to customize your Xiaomi mobile with MIUI to the fullest , so that you can give it a totally different and more personalized look so that it suits you. In its day we already explained how to customize Android, but we have decided to make specific articles for those manufacturers whose phones have a particularly different layer of personalization.

And we will start with Xiaomi and its MIUI customization layer. The idea is to focus on the native options of the mobile without having to resort to dangerous changes such as root, which make you lose guarantees. We will also mention several third-party tools that you can use to make these changes. You will have the alternatives, and then you will be the one to decide which of them you want to use to give your desktop a unique look.

We are going to do the article based on a Mi 9T Pro device with the MIUI 12 customization layer. I’m telling you because depending on the mobile and the version of the MIUI customization layer that you have, there may be some options that you don’t appear or something different appears on your Xiaomi device. But we have used

And as we always say in this type of SamaGame Basics articles, if you think we have missed any method or alternative, we invite you to share with us your methods or resources in the comments section . Thus, whoever comes to this article in order to fully customize their operating system, may also benefit from the knowledge of our Xatakeros.

Change the wallpaper

One of the first classic steps when it comes to personalizing your mobile is to change the wallpaper for another that you like more. To do so, enter the settings of your device, and once inside, click on the Wallpaper option . On other Android devices, this option usually comes within the screen options, but Xiaomi prefers to have it clearly visible and independent.

Another option to access the wallpaper settings is to press and hold your finger on the desktop background for a few seconds, until it pops up and options appear. In these options, at the bottom left you will have a button to access the Wallpaper settings .

Whichever way you choose to get there, a window called Wallpaper will open . In it, you will have several folders with the funds on your device organized by type, and also access to your local photos so that you can put the one you like the most of it as your wallpaper.

Below you will have a section for Online Wallpapers , in which you will preview several of them recommended and you will also have some categories to choose from. You can navigate through the sections to find a background to your liking, and if you are not convinced, at the bottom you have the Find more button .

If you click on Find more , you will access a much more complete catalog within the Themes application . Here you can navigate through many other categories until you find that static or animated theme that you like the most. When you find a fund in any of the methods, click on it.

When you click on the wallpaper that you have seen, a preview will be made so you can see how it looks. If you are not convinced you can go back, and if you do click on the Apply button that you have at the bottom. When you do, you can choose how to use this wallpaper , which can be for the desktop, the home screen, or both.

And as for where to get the wallpapers, in Engadget Android you have a collection with all the wallpapers of the most important mobiles. You can also use specific applications such as Bing Wallpapers, Google Wallpapers and many other apps to download free backgrounds that you have available. Metacommunities like Reddit also have entire communities dedicated to vertical wallpapers and backgrounds specially designed for AMOLED displays.

Choose between light and dark mode

The dark mode makes the entire interface of your device turn black, and you will be able to activate it manually or program it in case you like these tones. To do this, you have to enter the settings of your device, and inside, click on the Screen section to see everything related to it.

Once inside the Screen settings , you have to click on the Dark Mode option . By default it will deactivate it, but if you want to activate or configure it you have to enter this category.

When you enter the Dark Mode options , you will be able to do two things. The first is to simply activate the Dark Mode option that appears first. Below, you can activate the option to set the wallpaper to this mode, although it will only work with native Xiaomi backgrounds that support this option.

And secondly, instead of activating the dark mode you can activate the Schedule option . When you do, you will see the options to activate and deactivate. With them, you will be able to decide the exact time you want the dark mode to be activated automatically and the time you want it to be deactivated.

When you have the dark mode activated, below you will have an option called Individual applications . If you go there, you can manually activate the dark mode in the compatible applications where you want to activate it.

Choose between control buttons or gestures

This change is not only aesthetic, but practical. MIUI has the classic Android control buttons “of a lifetime” at the bottom of the screen, but you can change them by gestures , either to navigate more fluidly or to have the background full screen. To do so, enter the device settings and click on the Additional Settings section . Within these settings, click on the Play full screen option .

Inside here you will be able to choose between two options. You can choose to use the control buttons for full screen navigation or gestures . In the event that you opt for gestures, you have an option to hide its indicator, which is that thin bar that appears at the bottom so you can slide your finger over it.

Also, if you opt for gestures, you will also find a guide with all the available gestures . It’s on the same Play Full Screen screen , just below the selector and extra options. You can click on the gesture you see to play the demo, although you can see how they work in the thumbnails.

Add Widgets to the home screen

Widgets are small windows that you can put on desktops in addition to icons, and they serve to preview the information of some applications without having to open them. To add them, press and hold the mobile desktop for a few seconds, and click on the Widgets option when the options menu appears.

You will go to the Add widget screen , where all the ones you have available will appear. They will be organized in a list where you will see a row with all the widgets available in each of the applications, and all you have to do is click on the widget you want to add to your desktop.

Once you have added a widget to the desktop, you can hold your finger on it and drag it to change the desktop where you want it to be or its exact position on the screen. When you drag it, at the top you will have a Delete option above which you can drop the widget to delete it.

Change the sounds of the phone or alarm clock

Another essential when giving a personal touch to your mobile is to change its ringtone and that of notifications and alarms . This is no longer useful just to give a note of color to the device, but it will also help you differentiate it from others of the same brand that are around. To start, go to your mobile settings and click on the Sound and vibration option that you will see in them.

You will enter a careful menu where MIUI makes it very easy for you. At the top you will have four buttons where you can see the tones that you have right now for calls, alarms, events and notifications, and below you have the volume they have. Here, click on the type of tone you want to change to enter its catalog of options.

When you click on one of the tones, you will enter a very visual list where you have all the tones and sounds that are available for the category. You can click on them to select and listen to them , leaving it selected if it convinces you or clicking on another if you prefer to search for more. You also have an All tones button to see the rest that do not appear in the list or use other sources, which can be from the recorder to the music app.

Finally, you should also know that there are many third-party applications to comfortably customize your tones , and that you can also set the music from Spotify or YouTube Music as an alarm clock. Also, many applications like WhatsApp have their own configuration options in which to set their own notification tones.

Customize the Control Center

The control center is the one that appears when you slide two fingers from top to bottom on the screen, or one from the upper right corner. In it you have quick shortcuts for some functions, with activation and deactivation buttons. You will be able to reorganize these buttons by adding others or eliminating the ones you don’t use. To do this, open the control center and click on the pencil icon writing on the paper that you will find in the upper right.

You will enter a screen divided in two. Above you will have the shortcuts that you have activated in the control center, and you will have a subtraction button to eliminate them. If you drag them around the screen you can rearrange them in the order you prefer. And below you will have some other shortcuts or switches that are not active, with a plus icon to add them to your control center.

Change the keyboard of your mobile

Manufacturers try to make default keyboards have all the options you need, and Xiaomi is no exception. But you will always be able to change the keyboard for another that you like more or offer you more options. The best keyboards for Android usually bring unique options that make them stand out from the competition. From the Gboard shortcuts and options such as creating stickers with your face, their themes, or combined emojis, to the robustness and veteran Swiftkey with functions such as its animated emojis or the ability to put photos as the keyboard background.

The keyboards are installed as if they were conventional applications , and when you launch them for the first time they will guide you step by step through all the configuration you need to do. If you have more than one, you can choose by entering the settings and clicking on the Additional settings section . There, click on Languages ​​and text input , and then hit the Current keyboard option to change the one you have activated to another. Below you can configure it in Manage keyboards .

Change the default launcher

The Android launcher or launcher is like the desktop environment of the operating system, the design that you will find when you enter the main screen of your mobile device. Elements such as the icons you see on the screen, desktop options and gestures, the application drawer, etc., depend on it, although not other elements such as settings.

Xiaomi has its own launcher, which is the one that gives it that unique look. But if you want, you also have other third-party alternatives that you can download to give it a different look. They are installed as if they were normal applications, and in case you want to explore your alternatives, we leave you links to some of the best launchers that you can find on Android:

Once you install the launcher you have chosen, it may not be activated by default, but Xiaomi makes it very easy for you to change it . Just enter the settings and click on the Home screen section . that will appear to you.

Once you enter the Home screen options , you have to click on the predefined Launcher option that appears first. This will take you to the list with all the ones you have installed, including that of Xiaomi’s own system that has MIUI, and you can choose the one you prefer.

Customize the look of the home screen further

But if you leave the Xiaomi default launcher, there are also other adjustments that you can make to the home screen to give a personal touch to its appearance. To access them, go to the mobile settings and click again on the Home screen section that you will see in them.

The first option that you can change is also called the Home screen , and when you click on it you can decide if you want your mobile to have an application drawer . If you don’t have it, all the installed apps will have to be organized on all the mobile desktops, and if you activate it, you can remove apps from the desktops, and access them by sliding up to access the app drawer.

Further down, you will reach the Home screen Settings section , where you also have several things that you can change. The ones that affect customization the most are being able to change the size of the icons or the design of the home screen , deciding the size of some or the number of slots you want to have on the screen. The smaller the home screen layout, the fewer icons will fit.

Change the system font

By default, in Europe Xiaomi has blocked some options such as changing the font or system font. But there is a trick to activate it. You have to enter the settings and go to Additional Settings . There, click on Region and change Spain to India . When you do, options will be unlocked.

Now, go back to the main settings screen, and click on Display . Within the Screen settings , in the System Font section you will see that the System Font option appears, which is used to change the font, and that it does not normally appear. The downside is that you will have to stay in India as a region for it to continue to appear. You also have the option Text size that appears if you are in the Spain region, and it is to change the size of the letter.

If you click on System font , the Themes application will open in a hidden category where you will be able to find a large number of fonts to choose from. You will not find this section if you have configured your region as Spain. Here you will be able to search and download new fonts to use the one you want.

The other great option is to use a third-party launcher , at least if you don’t want to go around changing the region. Some of the launchers that we have told you about before do allow you to do so. An example is the popular Nova Launcher, always one of the most recommended, but you can also in others such as Action Launcher or Apex Launcher. If you have any other third-party launcher, take a good look at the options, since many will allow you to do so.

You can also use third-party applications , since there are some that are created specifically to be able to change the letter of the mobile. Some of the most popular are iFont, HiFont, or GxFonts for the Samsung Galaxy. When installing them, you will only have to navigate through their menus and choose the font you want to use.

Change the whole look or the icons with Themes

As you have already seen throughout this article, since we have mentioned it a couple of times, MIUI has a themes application that allows you to change everything on your mobile , from the wallpapers to the icons. You can download the themes you want and then combine them. When you enter the application, click on the themes section below, and you will have a large collection of them organized by categories and with a search engine at the top.

When you find a topic in the application, click on it and you will enter its file with the description , some tags and popular comments. Some themes appear as free and others as premium, the latter being also free on many occasions. You have to click on the Free or Premium button to start the download process.

When you click, all the elements of the theme will be downloaded and you will go to an intermediate step in which you can choose which elements of the theme that you have downloaded you want to apply . You can confirm or deselect them all, from the wallpaper to the lock screen or icons. When you have chosen, click on the Apply button , and the elements that you have selected will change the appearance of your mobile.

Once you click on the Apply button , the theme you have chosen will be applied and the entire look of your mobile will change completely, at least as far as the design of the operating system is concerned. Depending on the elements included in the theme, the wallpaper, the icons, the lock screen or the options menu will be changed.

In addition to the full themes, within the Themes application you have a tab at the bottom to view wallpapers . We have already talked to you about this before, and you have several different categories and a search engine at the top to find the one you like the most and install it.

In addition, at the bottom of the themes application you also have a tab to access your profile . In it, you will be able to access all the elements downloaded with the application separately, from the complete themes to the wallpapers, lock styles or icons. You will be able to see or apply them, check for updates or mark some as favorites. But the best is the Customize theme option that you have below.

If you click on Customize theme , you will go to a screen where you can change each aspect of the aspect of the current theme of your mobile . Come on, in each type of element you will have everything that you have downloaded included in themes, and you can choose each one of them separately. For example, you can combine everything you like about a certain theme but by adding different sounds or icons.

More modifications with other third-party apps

So far, we have told you about all the native functions that Xiaomi offers. But there is more, because in the Android application store you can find many applications to customize your mobile in many different ways. Here, the result is sometimes not going to be as beautiful as when they are native options, but in return you will find very curious things.

To give a few examples, you have applications that allow you to create your own widgets , such as the veteran KWGT, Chronus or Battery Reborn. They are usually modular applications that allow you to create many types of widgets, although to get all the functions in some you may have to buy a full version.

You also have others to change different types of aspects of the mobile, such as the status bar with gestures and icons, or the customization of the volume controls. There are also them to unlock hidden settings, optimize the sound of your headphones, decorate the navigation bar, or add a column with shortcuts on the edge of the screen.

Be careful with the applications you install

But before you go crazy installing apps, I’d like to warn you of something. In Google Play you have a thousand and one applications with which you can personalize your mobile in all aspects, the ones we have mentioned or others. But not all of them are safe, and it is very important that you remember that you should only install those applications that you trust , and that you inform yourself well before installing any of them.

Not only because there may be some type of malware, but because many of these applications need very delicate permissions to function , such as reading all the apps you have installed to display them or what you do on the screen. There may even be an app that asks for more permissions than it needs to collect data about you.

Therefore, it is very important not to install many apps or applications that you do not know without any type of control, since you may be compromising your privacy and the security of your mobile. Read well the comments of other users on Google Play to detect anomalies before installing, and if in any app you have doubts, search the Internet to see if something is said about it and if it is positive or negative.

You can also “root” the mobile

Another option to further customize your device is to root it. Rooting the mobile is obtaining superuser permissions , which means that you will be able to make much more profound changes than those you can do by default in the settings. Come on, you have total control of the device, with the dangers that this entails.

The process of rooting your Android is not excessively difficult, although if you are a user not very experienced in computing it may seem the opposite. It has some benefits, such as being able to install ROMs or modified versions of the Android operating system, such as LineageOS or Paranoid Android.

This allows you to have a version of Android that is not controlled by the manufacturer, but by the developer community, something that helps to be able to update to more modern versions of the operating system when the manufacturer has already abandoned your mobile and does not update it anymore. It also helps to squeeze the hardware to the maximum by taking advantage of the full potential of the internal components of the mobile, activate hidden functions or obtain all the customization functions.

But as we have told you, the process has some dangers . If something goes wrong you can mess up the mobile operating system and make it stop working. The adapted version of Android that you install may also have bugs and bugs, and may not work as well. And also, if you root the mobile, the manufacturer will ignore the warranty, and if something fails, you will not have it to fix it for you.

This, together with the fact that Android is becoming more complete in its serial version, makes it not highly recommended for first-time users , since for years it is something that many think that it is not always worth it. In any case, we have mentioned it to you because if you go to specialized websites and forums looking for information to customize Android, almost certainly someone will mention it.

Juliette Binoche talks about her breakup with Benoît Magimel and the aftermath: “The unsaid things accumulated over time…”

Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel met in 1999 and remained a couple until 2003. They recently found themselves on the set of the film “The Passion of Dodin Bouffant”.

Together, they formed one of the most glamorous couples in French cinema. And when they meet on screen, Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel still spark. Currently showing in the series The New Look by Todd A. Kessler, in which she plays Coco Chanel, the actress has barely come out of the promotion of the very beautiful The Passion of Dodin Bouffant by Tran Anh Hung… the recent opportunity for her to respond to her former companion.

Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel met in 1999 on the set of the film Children of the century, by Diane Kurys. Two decades later, here they are together again on a set… with pleasure, of course, but also with a certain fear in their stomachs. “I was nervous to find himadmits the actress in the pages of the magazine Vanity Fair. But this film made it possible to express, to put into motion in fact, the silences, the unsaid things which had accumulated over time.“

Benoît Magimel in tears at the Cannes Film Festival

Of course, Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel maintained very cordial relations, although they did not see each other much for many years. They had, together, a daughter named Hannah in 1999 – the actress also had Raphaël with André Hallé’s diver in 1993. Today, they never stop giving each other little winks, pretty words, kisses in interviews… sometimes even teasing. Juliette Binoche did not hesitate to say that Benoît Magimel cried tears during the screening of The Passion of Dodin Bouffant at the Cannes International Film Festival, notably in front of the final scene – the gourmet feature film won the prize for directing. “It wasn’t little tears, but real sobsshe remembers. I was embarrassed, but at the same time died of laughter.”

The Witcher 4 will not be an Epic Games Store exclusive

The announcement of the new Witcher game went hand in hand with the announcement that CD Projekt RED has partnered with Epic Games. For some fans, this quickly led to the fact that the game on PC would only be available in the Epic Games Store. But that is not the developer’s intention.

Unlike previous installments, ‘The Witcher 4’ is not created in CD Projekt RED’s REDengine. Instead, Unreal Engine 5, a game engine from Epic Games, is used. This is because the two companies have entered into a multi-year partnership, which also focuses on the further development of Unreal Engine 5.

  • Get The Witcher 3 at home

The partnership with Epic Games alone quickly raised concerns among fans that The Witcher 4 would only be available through the Epic Games Store. But CD Projekt Red says on Twitter that there are no plans to make the game exclusive to one storefront.

The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are both available on the Epic Games Store, so the new game will likely be available there too, especially now that there’s a partnership. But CD Projekt RED does not intend to fully bet on that store. The Witcher 4 will likely also be available through GOG, CD Projekt RED’s proprietary platform. There’s also no indication that the developer plans to drop Steam.

What do we know about The Witcher 4?

At the moment little is known about the new Witcher game. He is described as starting a new saga in the franchise. CD Projekt RED has also announced that it does not want to crunch to finish the game. When it will be released is still unknown.

The Witcher 4

Available from 2023

Tutorial : How to Farm Coal in Nightingale


Surviving in the more aggressive realms of Nightingale can be a daunting task if you don’t have enough resources available. Coal is one of many materials that can be found scattered across regions, and can also be easily found in certain areas.

Where to find coal in Nightingale

Coal is usually found inside Kingdom cavess. While not all realms have caves, there’s a good chance you’ll find Coal inside if you pass through one. Just like other gems and general ores, they can be found in special mining rocks that differ from others. Coal stones are usually brown, with a pointed pattern like regular rocks.

Caves are usually home to some sulfur, which is more similar to other gemstones like quartz and sapphire and has a yellow color. Mining points for these are usually right next to coal locations, so you can make your life easier by grabbing both resources at once. There will eventually be situations where you need it, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Coal can also spawn randomly in Desert and Swamp realms, even outside of caves. Although this is less likely to happen, don’t miss the rare opportunities when this happens and seize them as usual. You’ll probably still need to head to caves later if you’re looking for extras, especially since going to higher level realms won’t let you get extra resources by harvesting them. You get increased gas rates, but you only get the same amount of coal from a beginner realm and an advanced realm.

But of course, it may take a while before you can start heading towards those larger realms that lie beyond the Antiquary, so you won’t see any coal this early in the game. And if your construction using coal is destroyed in some way, you can repair it instead of rebuilding it again.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord: How to Level Up All Skills

roving weapon skills in Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is a fairly simple and intuitive task, but difficulties can arise with other skills, such as leadership and management. Before you pump something up, make sure it’s possible – that is, you need to spend at least one focus point on this skill and in the character menu part it’s highlighted in green. Also remember that each point of focus invested in a skill increases the speed of your study (the amount of experience gained).

You will receive a focal point for each level increase. The level limit is indicated in green. To find out your limit for a particular skill, navigate to the character screen by clicking on the icon in the lower left corner of the screen or by pressing the C key and selecting the desired skill. You will see that only part of the skill is highlighted in green: it is this mark that shows you how far you can go to improve it. The only way to increase the available limit is to spend a focal point or attributes.

Every three levels you will receive an attribute point. Capabilities are grouped into triplets and each has its own attribute. For example, the General Stamina attribute is assigned to one, two, and pulley abilities. By placing an attribute point in Vigor, you can increase the learning speed and limit for all three skills.

Next, I’ll tell you about the characteristics of pumping each individual skill. Weapons will not be taken into account, as these are the most obvious things: only use a weapon of a certain type (there is no secret here).

Ride a horse

Riding gets pumped both when you ride your horse during combat and when you move around the world map.

Athletics

The higher the level of this skill, the faster your character will perform. As with horseback riding, you have to move around the world map or during a battle, but without a mount. And moving around without a horse on a world map is probably the best way to level athleticism. But before you do that, put at least one point of focus.

Forge (craft)

Go to any city and go to the smithy. To do something in the forge, you need wood. It can be purchased in cities. Select the Refine option in the forge to convert wood to charcoal. This coal can be used to upgrade materials or smelt weapons. And when you collect enough materials, you can forge weapons. In general, any action in the forge will increase the skills of the forge. Even cooking charcoal!

information service

To increase the skill level, look for trails (small green arrows, which sometimes appear on the world map) and shelters from bandits. To increase the speed of learning a skill, assign the role of Clan Explorer to your hero. Greater intelligence will allow you to detect opponents from a greater distance. The perks you find in branching this skill will make it easier to move around the campaign map, increasing your movement speed and reducing food consumption.

Skills menu

Strategy

You can pump this skill by playing automatic battles – that is, each time before the battle starts, instead of manually controlling the attack, select the item Send your troops. With an increase in the level of this skill, the probability of victory in automatic battles and the results of battles in general (less wounded, killed, etc.) will increase.

Has stolen

There are several ways to increase this capacity, but the easiest is to sell prisoners in towns and raids in towns. Additionally, skill level will increase when hiring and using bandits. The higher the flight, the more valuable the boot will be at the end of the battle.

Charisma

Join the war, capture the lords, but instead of capturing them, let them go. Each time you do this, Charisma will be pumped to level 1. Another effective way to pump Charisma is to help allies in battle. If you see your allies losing, join the battle and win. In this case, you can gain almost 3-4 Charisma levels at a time. The third option is to bribe the looters so that they don’t fight you and give gifts to famous people. This is a very important skill, especially if you want to get married and have an heir.

An alternative way to pump up charisma:

This option requires a little more thought, but is the most efficient and the fastest. The idea is to sign the Council of Commons political course for his kingdom, which will increase its influence. You will inevitably accumulate influence, and if you want to increase the level of charisma, you can use it to « support » other clans with whom you want to improve relations. Each time you do this you will spend 50 influence points. And if you have invested a point of focus in charisma, you will also receive a new level for that.

Direction

A quick way to increase your skill level is to join a faction and build an army. You will earn passive experience points for commonplace movements on the campaign map, while managing your army. Maintain high team morale (win battles). The game doesn’t say anything about what “high morale” is. But if we make an analogy with charisma, it surely means around 50 units.

Commerce

You will receive experience points for this skill each time you resell products, while making a profit. And the greater the profit from sales, the more experience you will gain and the faster your skill level will increase.

Delegate (management)

Secure the quartermaster role for your character in the clan by going to the clan menu with the L key. Then make sure to provide your troops with a variety of foods, which will definitely boost army morale. . Once you join the faction and get a fight, stay in your settlements which will give you passive experience points as well. This ability is one of the keys to increasing the number of squads. For each level you will receive +1.3 the size of the army. Also, when creating an additional squad, be sure to appoint a partner leader with a high level of this ability.

Drug

Assign the role of clan surgeon to your character (L). Your hero will now heal all wounded soldiers after battle. The higher the level of medicine, the more likely it is that injured soldiers will survive. Also, as long as your fighter engages in battle and is injured, he is likely to survive or die. And with an increase in the level of the drug, the probability of survival will increase. Healing speed also increases.

Engineering

Participate in sieges and build siege weapons. The higher the value of this ability, the faster you can build siege weapons. A high-tech governor will speed up the construction of buildings in the colony. .

is one of the most emblematic series of the last decades, in recent months we have dedicated extensive coverage to your curious data, both the meaning of Jiraiya’s gang, and Sasuke’s dark past, to the true meaning of Gaara’s mark. Now, we find a possible casting that could fit into a future of Masashi Kishimoto’s work.

Holland is known for his versatility as an actor and his ability to bring charismatic characters to life. and full of energy, which could fit well with Naruto’s energetic and optimistic personality. His ability to capture the essence of a young hero looking to be recognized and overcome challenges would resonate with Naruto’s growth arc throughout the story.

Tom Holland would definitely have the stuff to play the young version of Naruto.

However, it is also important to consider some potential weaknesses in this role, one of the challenges could be adapting Naruto’s signature fighting style to the real world, since much of the character’s combat abilities involve supernatural techniques and fantastical elements that can be difficult to portray believably.

Additionally, Holland is widely known for his portrayal of in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which could result in an inevitable comparison between the two characters and the perception that he is “reprising” a similar role.

We invite you to review this many curious facts about the anime, such as the tribute that Akira Toriyama paid to Eiichiro Oda, also the redesign of the cover of after the 20 years of premiere of the seriesand of course, we explained the relationship between Zabuza and Haku, the first villains of .

Starfield seems to be getting ray tracing support


Thanks to programmer’s LinkedIn page Germain Mazac, who works for Bethesda Game Studios, we now know that Starfield appears to be getting ray tracing (RTX) support. On the aforementioned page you can read that Mazac, as part of his work, is working on ‘RTX integration’. Since Bethesda itself has not yet mentioned Starfield and ray tracing, Mazac seems to be talking about this.

Of course we don’t know if this only concerns the PC version of the game or if the support for ray tracing will also come to the console versions. In any case, it is a remarkable choice given the outdated state of the engine, which often seems to hang together with duct tape and also failed to make an impression in Starfield’s reveal trailer. In any case, we will find out more in the first half of 2023.

25 recommended Telegram bots to get the most out of the app

Telegram is one of the best messaging apps today. In one of the aspects in which it stands out is in bots, much more developed and with more variety than the competition, and thanks to which Telegram can become a tool.

There are very many Telegram bots out there, but here we have selected the 25 most useful Telegram bots you can use today. We have tried them all, so you can be sure they all still work today.

How to use Telegram bots

The two ways to interact with bots: talk to them or mention them

Using bots on Telegram is easy, although before interacting with most of them you have to start them first. It’s as easy as entering the profile of said bot and pressing the button Start. You can access these profiles from a direct link like the one we’ll use in this article or by using the search engine.

In Telegram, there are basically two types of bots: the ones you need to use to interact with them in a private chat or with commands, and the ones that work directly as you type, also known as online bots. Many bots, like @calcubot, support both modes. The way to interact with them is slightly different:

  • Normal bots: You must interact with them via private messages or, if they are in a group, via chat commands. In this case, you send your request as if it were a normal message. In the @calcubot example, you open a private chat with the bot and send it 2 + 2, to which the bot will respond that it is 4.
  • Online bots: In this case, you must mention them when writing, adding the query below. You will then receive the result or a suggestion, which is not sent to the chat until you have chosen it. For example, in a private chat with someone else, you type @calcubot 2 + 2 and you’re shown 4 in a window. If you want, you can add it to the chat.

Url downloader

One of the more popular Telegram bots is URL Uploader, which does something as simple as download stuff for you (as long as they are less than 500MB). That is, if you want to send a 200MB file from internet to a friend, instead of uploading it to Telegram, instead of uploading and uploading to Telegram, you can make this bot download it by sending the link.

Forget about duplicating items in Demon’s Souls on PS5. Bluepoint Games has fixed the glitch originating from PS3


In RPGs there are often many tricks to somehow break its mechanics, from effortless gaining experience to duplicating objects in an unlimited way. And this is exactly what happened in Demon’s Souls on PS3.

As many will recall, in this revolutionary classic from From Software, there was a glitch that allowed indiscriminately duplicate items from the Nexus, and the funny thing is that this error has not been corrected since then. Something that has not gone unnoticed by Bluepoint Games, which had already anticipated months ago that it would eradicate this type of stratagem, while respecting the essence of the original from 2009. It is something that we have just discovered in Kotaku.

There we see how a user has tried (with no luck) replicate that famous glitch in the Demon’s Souls remake for PS5. And now the blacksmith Boldwin will not close the purchase conversation dialogue no matter how much we move away from him.

How to duplicate items in Demon’s Souls on PS3

But, What was this glitch? Perhaps you are one of those who does not know it or has not wanted to use it, as had been my case until today, but it is surprising that it continues running on PS3 after more than a decade. The trick is as follows:


  • We speak to Blacksmith Boldwin in the Nexus
  • We give you to buy an object and leave the cursor on OK
  • Without pressing it, we slowly walk towards Treasurer Thomas

  • If all goes well, the dialogue will be closed and Boldwin will not scold us

  • With the Nexial Link equipped (a ring that they give at the beginning), we press the square button to get the message if we want to return to the Nexus
  • We cut that message by pressing the Start button (do not give the X)
  • Now we talk to Thomas the treasurer

  • We deposit any object (preferably a Soul of a boss, since they give many souls to gain experience easily)
  • We press X and quickly press the circle button several times
  • Now when talking with Thomas, we will see that when collecting the deposited object, it has multiplied ostensibly
  • It can be repeated as many times as we want

It is not advisable to opt for this trick, because it takes all the fun out of Demon’s Souls, but it does save many hours of I farm. On PS5 you will have no choice but to forget about these kinds of traps. Have you already reserved the console?

Tekken 8 pulls out literal and graphic muscle thanks to the RTX 4090 and 8K resolution in its first benchmarks


As many of you already know, Tekken 8 recently launched its first closed beta. During this, not a few players are offering their first impressions. In general, Bandai Namco’s new fighting game is quite liking, although it is giving some performance problems. Developed with Unreal Engine 5, it has already been seen that is suffering with the compilation of . However, we must not forget that it is a first beta, so it is logical that it suffers certain difficulties.

That’s what tests are for: to detect errors… Among other things. As is logical, many users have wondered what is the graphic top of the new Bandai and the truth is that at the moment it is very high. This has been shown to us by John Papadopoulos, a content creator who has uploaded a very, very interesting performance test to his YouTube channel.

Tekken 8 looks amazing in 8K with the RTX 4090

In this, John runs Tekken 8 on an NVDIA RTX 4090 in 8K resolution. Of course, the maximum quality at which we can see the video is limited by the resolution of our monitor or mobile device. Bearing this in mind, I, for example, have been able to see it at 4K… And the result has continued to seem crazy to me. First, because of how good it looks. Second, for its stability.

Although we do not know how much RAM it has or what processor it has, since it does not indicate it, yes we know that you have used an RTX 4090 and that it looks just great. Besides, and this is what matters most to us, is that its performance is really good. Using the 4090 with the graphics settings maxed out, Tekken 8 runs between a stable and smooth 50-60 FPS. That is to say, that at 8k it performs very well.

If we take into account that most users will play it at lower resolutions, it is very likely that it meets one of the maxims of almost any fighting game: stability. This is a very important detail. So, and although we hope that the theme of them will improve with the next betas or already at launch, the game could be a true technical monster once it lands on our gaming platforms.

PS5 and Xbox Series X: the list of all games with 120fps support – guide


Microsoft recently confirmed that Halo Infinite, the flagship game of the Xbox Series X, will support 120fps gameplay in multiplayer mode. This led us to question what other games have 120Hz support confirmed on compatible 4K TVs and screens.

So we did some research and this article is the result: an exhaustive and detailed list of all the games for PS5 and Xbox Series X that go beyond the historic 60fps refresh limit of the consoles. In addition to the list of titles with such support, we have also included the connection technology of 4K 120Hz TVs (HDMI 2.1) and also the best 4K TVs for next-gen gaming.

While many users will be playing next-gen consoles on TV, we’ve also covered the other option, which is high-refresh PC monitors. These have in fact been available on the market for several years, so we have compiled a list of recommended models that support at least 120Hz or more at different resolutions. We have in fact included monitors with native resolution 1080p and 1440p, and also the very first models equipped with an HDMI 2.1 interface, necessary for 4K at 120Hz.

In addition to the games and screen recommendations, we’ve also included a short guide to gaming at a120fps. Scroll the page or go directly to the section that interests you most using the navigation guide below:

Before we begin, let’s ask ourselves a simple question:

Why is 120fps better than 60fps?

Answer: The higher the frame-rate, the lower your input lag and the higher the temporal resolution.

These two side effects make the gameplay of frenetic games such as shooter or racing easier, being able to react more readily to the appearance of an enemy or to perceive in advance the approach of a sharp bend. You can see all of this demonstrated in our “Over 60fps” video.

High-refresh monitors had a big impact on PC gaming when they were introduced years ago, and we expect a similar effect on consoles now that 120fps is on the plate.

Obviously there is a trade-off between high frame-rates and graphics fidelity. For games where fast-paced sections are rare, or where developers want to emphasize the visuals of their worlds through higher resolution or enhanced effects, sticking to a more traditional 30fps or 60fps may make more sense.

Which PS5 and Xbox Series X games support 120fps?

At the moment, we know that there are eight games on PS5 or Series X that support 120fps, and the spread is nowhere near even.

While the PS5 has an innovative design in many ways, we’ve heard very little about which games will support 120fps. The PS5 slate currently only contains a handful of titles, but it is sure to grow over time.

The full list of 120fps PS5 titles

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
  • Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition
  • Dirt 5

  • Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom

  • Rainbow Six Siege

Now let’s take a look at the other side of the coin with the Xbox Series X. Given that Microsoft balances the situation with PC gaming on Windows, perhaps it’s not surprising to see more games with 120fps support on consoles. Here is the list of games confirmed so far.

The complete list of Xbox Series X games at 120fps

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
  • Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition
  • Dirt 5
  • ExoMecha
  • Gears 5
  • Halo Infinite (multiplayer)
  • Halo: The Master Chief Collection

  • Metal: Hellsinger
  • Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
  • Ori and the Will of the Wisps
  • Orphan of the Machine
  • Rainbow Six Siege
  • Second Extinction
  • The Falconeer

Backward compatibility can send some titles at 120fps as well: the Series X doubles the original 60fps refresh, sending it to 120fps.

However, we still have no confirmation of any visual compromises in 120fps gameplay.

Best TVs and monitors for gaming at 120fps, recommended by Digital Foundry

If you like fast-paced titles like first person shooter or racing, we recommend a TV that supports high refresh rates with the new consoles, as long as your budget allows it. Here are our recommended models for each category, including LG’s gorgeous OLEDs and competing alternatives from Samsung and Sony. Each model chosen offers 120fps at 4K, variable refresh rate and low input lag, making them perfect models for gaming. By clicking on each model you will access our detailed article The best TVs for 4K gaming with HDR.

The best 4K and 120Hz TVs for PS5 and Xbox Series X

  • LG CX OLED (via HDMI 2.1)

  • Samsung Q80T QLED (via HDMI 2.1)
  • Sony XH9005 / X900H (via HDMI 2.1, which will arrive via software update)
  • LG NanoCell 85

Note: The 49-inch Q80T has a 60Hz panel instead of the 120Hz one used in the larger variants. And it also lacks support for variable refreshes, as well as having worse viewing angles, so we recommend getting the 55-inch variants.

Gaming monitors are also a great choice for PS5 or Series X, but be warned that at the time of this writing, no models support HDMI 2.1 input. Of course, this doesn’t stop you from enjoying 120Hz at resolutions below 4K, such as 1440p or 1080p, as the HDMI 2.0 standard supports 120Hz for these resolutions. To reach 144Hz at 1440p you’ll need to turn off adaptive V-Sync. This is an option to consider because these monitors are significantly cheaper than the 4K and 120Hz alternatives. The first monitor announced with HDMI 2.1 support is the Eve Spectrum, linked below, but we expect more compatible models to arrive later this year.

Best 120Hz gaming monitors for PS5 and Xbox Series X

  • AOC 24G2U (1080p 120Hz via HDMI 1.4)
  • BenQ EX2780Q (1440p 120Hz via HDMI 2.0)
  • LG 27GL850 (1440p 120Hz via HDMI 2.0 w / VRR disabled)
  • Eve Spectrum (4K 120Hz via HDMI 2.1)

Digital Foundry’s guide to 120fps next-gen gaming

What is HDMI 2.1?

Long story short, HDMI 2.1 is the new standard that increases the amount of data that can be carried over an HDMI cable. While the ports may always look the same, increased bandwidth requires new cables, new source devices (consoles and next-gen graphics cards), and new output devices (TVs and monitors). If the whole chain is upgraded to HDMI 2.1 support, then you will get several features.

The most important feature for us is to send more frames per second at a given resolution. On the previous HDMI 2.0 standard it was possible to send a maximum image 60 times per second. On HDMI this amount doubles, becoming 120 frames per second for 4K.

Other features include an automatic low latency mode that basically allows the TV to disable certain processes to lower input lag, and support for variable refreshes, which eliminate screen tearing and judder artifacts without adding side effect of the increased input lag of v-sync. Other features also include HDMI VRR (included with the HDMI 2.1 standard), FreeSync (for AMD graphics cards) and G-Sync (for Nvidia graphics cards).

What is the difference between 120Hz and 120fps?

The Hertz (Hz) indicate the number of times a screen refreshes in one second. The maximum refresh rate is an intrinsic part of every model of TV or monitor; most screens stop at 60Hz but some go as low as 120Hz. Gaming monitors are notoriously available at refresh rates above 60Hz, some models even go up to 360Hz, with the most common supporting 144Hz or 240Hz.

THE Frames per second (fps) (fps) indicate the number of images generated by the console or PC in one second. This can be locked to some degree, normally to keep new frames constantly updated, or unlocked to allow for higher frame-rates in less demanding games to render.

Ideally, these two parameters should be similar most of the time to take advantage of the low input lag and improved temporal resolution mentioned earlier. For example, if your screen is at 120Hz and your console is delivering 120 frames per second, then you will make the most of your setup.

If your console only delivers 60fps, then you won’t have an advantage in using a 120Hz screen over a 60Hz one. Conversely, if your console generates a fixed 120fps but is connected to a 60Hz screen, you will get a boost in responsiveness. * but not comparable to the 120fps and 120Hz pairing.

If you like fast-paced games, it makes sense to have a 120Hz screen. Even though the console produces a frame-rate between 60 and 120fps, you’ll get a more and more responsive image on a 120Hz screen versus a 60Hz one.

We’re still a few weeks away from the launch of the consoles, so we’re still not sure how the games will run, if the frame-rate will be completely fixed at 120fps or if there will be dips here and there. But considering the powerful processors mounted on the fixed 120fps consoles they are sustainable, and we’re thrilled to see the new machines in action.

What about the Xbox Series S?

In theory, the Xbox Series S should run games at 120fps like the Xbox Series X but at a lower resolution. Little is known, but Ubisoft has outlined the performance of some of its games for each next-gen console. We hope to know more as the launch approaches.

The most amazing trick to select all photos on iPhone

Many users are often forced to free up space on their terminals either because they are working with a lot of files or because they have little memory. In a world where 4K videos and high resolution photos are our daily life, the GB of storage in our devices is flying.

For those who suffer from a lack of space, Today we bring a trick to select all photos and videos from library and delete them quickly. Of course, don’t forget to save them to a hard drive or computer first, so that you always have them at hand, but without taking up space on your iPhone.

How to quickly select our photos

Normally, when we go to select images from our gallery on iPhone, we click on To select, in the upper right corner, and we press each image one by one to select it. However, to get the most out of the selection we have a few options which are very useful.

The first consists of: with the selection option enabled, slide our finger over the images we want to select, by selecting as a group or completely if you slide to the end.

The second, however, is the one that can be most useful to us, especially if we want to get rid of all our images and empty the gallery completely. The system is similar to the previous one, activation of the selection mode in the gallery. Once done, we will drag over the last images we have, to select them as we explained in the previous method, but in this case, after selecting 2 or 3, we will not lift our finger, and with our other hand we will press on the top of the screen.

In doing so, we will take advantage of an iOS navigation option, which allows you to go to the top of anything by tapping at the top of the screen, either in Safari, a note or, as is the case , the Photos application. Once we’ve done that, we’ll see how our gallery scrolls to its first image, leaving all selected along the way..

Now we just have to click on the trash can icon in the lower right corner, and our images will be deleted. If we want to delete them completely, we must not forget that iOS sends the deleted images to an album called Deleted, and we have to repeat the process there to remove them permanently from the terminal.

This process can be done by albums or view modes, so you can delete an album that you are no longer interested in this way, although in these cases Apple has directly provided a button Select all in the selection mode, in the upper left part of the screen, so it may be more convenient to do it this way.

Powercom begins supplying Sentinel series UPS to the Russian market


Powercom announced the start of deliveries of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) of the Sentinel (SNT) series to the Russian market. These are online UPSs with pure sine wave output, designed to protect power supplies and ensure continuous operation of servers, as well as network, telecommunications, medical and other equipment that impose strict requirements on power quality and/or support critical processes.

The series includes models SNT-1000, SNT-1500, SNT-2000 and SNT-3000 with a nominal power of 1; 1.5; 2 and 3 kV•A respectively. The new products are made in universal 2U high cases, which can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or on the floor using the removable supports included in the delivery package.

To connect protected devices, the SNT-1000 and SNT-1500 models have six outputs with IEC320-C13 connectors. In turn, the SNT-2000 and SNT-3000 UPSs are equipped with eight outputs with IEC320-C13 connectors and one with a C19 socket.

The load is powered in autonomous mode from sealed, maintenance-free lead-acid batteries located in the UPS housing. It is possible to connect external battery packs to increase battery life. The design of the Sentinel series models allows for hot-swappable batteries. Thanks to their placement in rigid trays, the process of replacing and maintaining batteries is extremely simple.

An important advantage of the Sentinel series models is zero switching time to battery power. High power factor (PF=1) ensures maximum performance. It is possible to segment the load to increase battery life. High efficiency mode reduces energy and UPS maintenance costs.

All Sentinel series models are equipped with a control panel with a rotating LCD display. There are USB and RS-232 ports for connecting to a PC, as well as a slot for installing an optional SNMP adapter card. The latter allows you to monitor the status of the UPS and manage its settings from a remote workstation.

Case dimensions of the SNT-1000 and SNT-1500 models are 428x425x84 mm; SNT-2000 and SNT-3000 – 428x635x84 mm.

The Sentinel series UPS will be available in warehouses at Russian Powercom distributors in August.
