PS5 crashes? Marvel’s Spider-Man and rest mode just don’t get along

Apparently the system software of PlayStation 5 is creating several problems for console owners. Some users have reported a conflict between the external SSDs and the software, causing the console database to be rebuilt. But now there is a new piece to this puzzle and it would have to do with Marvel’s Spider-Man.

Journalist Jeff Gerstmann seems to have found the reason for this problem: apparently putting the PlayStation 5 into sleep mode with Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered running causes the console to crash. “It appears that putting a PS5 into rest mode while Spider-Man Remastered is running freezes the entire system, forcing the ‘external drive repair’ process when starting the backup. At least it was like that for me the few times I did it today“he writes in a tweet.

For now, therefore, the universal advice is not to put the console in rest mode with the game still running. An excellent reminder waiting for a possible patch for all those who still do not have the console available.

Seems like putting a PS5 into rest mode while Spider-Man Remastered is running crashes the whole system, forcing that “repair your external drive” process when you start back up. At least that’s how it’s been for me the few times I’ve done that today.

MacOS Big Sur icons are rounded squares, so you can change the ones that don’t fit


If there’s one detail that caught my attention about macOS 11 Big Sur, it’s its icons. From this version of macOS 11, they all become square with rounded corners (something called squircle in English). While waiting for the official arrival of the system, as well as the adaptation of all third-party applications, we can modify the ones we have very easily. Let’s see how to do it.


How to change macOS Big Sur icons to make them consistent

Changing an app’s icons in macOS is pretty straightforward. This does not change at all as it is a new version of the operating system, so if you already knew the steps, you can try it by yourself. If you don’t know or remember what it looked like (here we have an in-depth tutorial on it), follow these steps:

  • First of all, prepare your icon to modify it, select it and press cmd + C to copy it.
  • In Finder, go to the Applications folder.
  • Choose the app you want to change icon. Right click on it and click Get Info.

  • As an alternative, just press the cmd + I keys.

  • A window will open with more information about the chosen application, at the top left you will see a mini-icon.
  • Click on it and press Command + V to paste the previously copied icon.
  • Close and the change will take effect.

If it’s an Apple app, type iMovie like the one in the example, macOS will ask you to enter the password administrator. In any other application, you can do this without a password. As a recommendation, it is better to use .icns or .png formats.

A handful of unofficial icons for modifying your macOS Big Sur apps

As we said at the beginning, app developers are not yet required to adapt their icons. It will be from September or October when it comes out macOS 11 Big Sur to the public and they can also launch their adapted applications. We understand that the only ones that will be required are those that “go through” the Mac App Store and not those that are downloaded through other channels.

Meanwhile, from 9to5Mac, they’ve already collected a few proposals. Not too many icons, but it is used to gradually adapt our applications:

  • Stijn de Vries created seven icons: Nova, Step Two, Twitter, Github, Pages, Keynote and Visual Studio Code.

  • Bas van der Ploeg did the same with eight different icons: Cura, NodeMCU-PyFlasher, Sketch, Skype, Slack, Telegram, Transmission and Tweetbot.

Logitech presents its MX line for Mac: MX Keys keyboard and MX Master 3 mouse

The Pages and Keynote icons are, in fact, the official ones presented by Apple but not yet in the apps. Following the tutorial we saw Before, we can adapt these applications to be more in line with the « spirit » of macOS 11 Big Sur.

This email announces you 90 days of free subscription to Netflix: don’t bite, it’s a scam


A new cyber-scam is now targeting Netflix users: the INCIBE (National Institute of Cybersecurity) has given notice of the massive sending of malicious e-mails announcing to users that their Netflix subscription has expired. Cybercriminals are, however, ‘generous’ and offer a free 90-day extension… however, behind this offer is an attempt to steal information.

And it is that, if we accept, we will be asked to enter our personal data (including credit card data) before granting said extension, in what constitutes the typical phishing attack, which not seen a thousand times seems to lose effectiveness.

What is the phishing attack?

Fraudulent emails, with subjects such as , alert the user about the expiration of their subscription to the streaming platform.

As a supposed loyalty strategy, they promise a free extension of 90 days if the user links a credit card to validate the account. They ensure that no charges will be applied to the card provided.

By clicking on the link included in the email, users are redirected to a fake website pretending to be the official Netflix platform (see main image). On this page, the company logos and the same subscription expired message are displayed, along with a button to extend the subscription for free.

However, as we said before, the hidden objective is to convince the user to provide their personal and credit card information in a form.

The mistake, however, we have made at the same moment that we have opened the e-mail and we haven’t checked the sender address. If it had, we would have verified that it does not correspond to an official Netflix address.

And that is precisely one of the first details that we always have to check in these cases.

What to do if you have received this type of mail?

If you have received a similar email and have not provided information, it is essential Mark it as spam and remove it from your inbox.

On the other hand, if you have fallen into the trap and have given your personal and bank details in the form, you should not delete anything: on the contrary, You should immediately contact your bank to notify them of the situation and take the necessary measures. This could involve canceling the credit card involved to prevent potential unauthorized charges.

Next:

  1. Regularly review the movements of your bank account to detect possible unauthorized charges.
  2. Collect evidence of fraud, saving emails and screenshots of the process. These tests can be useful if you need to file a complaint.
  3. Get in touch with the State Security Forces and Corps (FCSE) and report the facts, providing the evidence collected.
  4. Do regular “egosurfing” to check if your personal or banking details have been exposed online. If so, follow the process provided by the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) to request its deletion through suppression to oblivion.
