Polish studio Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, The Medium and possibly the new Silent Hill) once worked on an alien game set in the Middle Ages. This was announced by the publication Gamepressure.
The project was first announced in July 2021. At the time, the game was codenamed Black, details of which were revealed in the documents the studio submitted to participate in the European Union-funded Creative Europe program.
Black was designed as a first-person action game with a focus on exploration, survival and close combat. The game was a story, and the hero had to make difficult moral decisions. One of the features should be a mysterious race of aliens that act as opponents.
Gamepressure claims that it was about xenomorphs. According to the plot, a certain group of cultists worshiped the monster, but at some point it broke out and killed the fanatics.
The developers had an unusual idea for presenting the game. At first they wanted to present her to the public as survivors in a medieval setting and tell about a secret cult and a certain deity. It was only after a few trailers that it became clear that the deity was the Xenomorph itself.
A few years ago, the project was reportedly brought to market by 20th Century Fox, who owned the rights to Alien at the time, and Ridley Scott himself. The idea was met with great enthusiasm, but in March 2019, the rights to the franchise passed into the hands of Disney and the project was completed.
Unfortunately, nothing is known about the current status of the game. In July 2021, Bloober Team CMO Tomasz Gawlikowski stated that the project’s concept had changed significantly.
As the newspaper notes, the idea of moving the alien to a different time period is not new. For example, in 1998, Dark Horse Comics published the comic Aliens: Stalker, in which the Vikings fought back against the Xenomorph.

UEFI ONLY MEDIA LEGACY BOOT BIOS when booting from a USB flash drive – how to fix the error?
When booting your computer or laptop from a bootable flash drive made with the Rufus software, an ERROR: BIOS/LEGACY BOOT OF UEFI-ONLY MEDIA message may appear with an explanation of the error in English and a suggestion to press any key to reboot .
This manual details what may be causing the error, how to fix the BIOS LEGACY BOOT OF UEFI ONLY MEDIA error, and successfully boot from the flash drive.
The cause of the BIOS LEGACY BOOT OF UEFI ONLY MEDIA error
Most modern PCs and laptops support two boot modes: UEFI (EFI) and Legacy (CSM, BIOS, Compatibility Support Mode). When writing a bootable flash drive in Rufus, the user selects in which mode it should be written; the default (if nothing is selected) is UEFI mode.
In case you boot from such a flash drive in Legacy mode, you will see the message ERROR: BIOS/LEGACY BOOT OF UEFI-ONLY MEDIA, and the explanation on the error screen suggests changing the boot mode in the BIOS/UEFI setup of your computer, or rewrite the flash drive for another boot mode.
Keep in mind: even if you have enabled UEFI boot support in your computer’s BIOS, it is possible that Legacy mode will be used by default (if it is also enabled), which will also cause the error in question. One additional point: For bootable drives created with Rufus, in addition to the steps below, you may need to disable Secure Boot in BIOS/UEFI.
Boot from a flash drive in UEFI mode
The easiest and fastest solution in our case is to boot from a flash drive in the desired mode. This will work for any computer with UEFI mode support (this boot mode is supported by most newer devices from around 2012).
How to do it? – There are two options:
Go into your computer’s or laptop’s BIOS, and then, usually under the Boot tab (but may be in other sections like BIOS Features) make sure UEFI Boot Mode is enabled. The item to change may be called “UEFI/BIOS Mode”, “Boot Mode”, or sometimes it is necessary to disable Legacy Boot Support – set Legacy Support Mode, CSM Support or Compatibility Support to “Disabled”. For different BIOS variants the required option may be located in slightly different places and have different names, but it is usually relatively easy to find.
Using the Boot Menu at startup – Normally, the key to press to enter the Boot Menu appears at the bottom of the screen when the computer starts (read more: How to enter the Boot Menu on a computer or laptop). In the boot menu, you can see that the bootable flash drive is displayed twice: once with the UEFI (or EFI) mark and once without it. Select labeling and then the stick will boot without any errors.
Creating a Bootable Rufus Flash Drive for Legacy BIOS Mode
If for some reason the above solution is not suitable for you, you can recreate a bootable flash drive in the same Rufus program so that it is ready for Legacy Mode (CSM).
To do this, simply select MBR under “Partition Scheme” and “BIOS (or UEFI-CSM)” under “Target System”, this item will be selected automatically. After writing the USB drive in this mode, it will not cause ERROR: BIOS/LEGACY BOOT OF UEFI-ONLY MEDIA error when booting with the same boot parameters in BIOS that you initially used.

Where can you find the media player on the PS5? How do you set up the media player on the PlayStation 5 and play movies and music through it? This question may concern one or two buyers of the new Sony console who not only want to use the PS5 for gaming, but also to play other content such as videos, music or even pictures. The only question is, where can you find the media player app for the PS5?
Install media player app on PS5?
Unlike the PlayStation 4, there is currently no “real” media player app on the PS5. But it will probably only be a matter of time before the current Sony console gets its own media player app. Even though there is no real media player app yet, you can also play videos and music on the PlayStation 5 using the app called “Media Gallery”.
Play videos and music on PS5
Media Gallery comes pre-installed on PlayStation 5 by default and can be launched from the Games tab. The media gallery usually displays the screenshots and gameplay recordings. If you connect a USB stick or an external hard drive to the console, you can also use it to play videos and music on the PS5. It is important that the media files must be stored in a folder on the USB stick or external hard drive, otherwise they will not be displayed in the media gallery.
Connect a USB stick or external hard drive to the PS5.
Launch the “Media Gallery” app and go to the “USB” tab and play the video/movie. In addition to videos, you can also display images in the media gallery.
You can fast forward and rewind the video using the control pad and use the shoulder buttons to switch through the videos on the USB drive.
If you want to play music on the PS5, you have to open the control center using the PlayStation button, select the note symbol at the bottom and then select the USB stick or external hard drive as the source. The important thing here is that the music must be stored in the folder called “Music” so that it can be found and played.
If you have connected the USB stick or external hard drive to the PS5 and the message “File system not supported” is displayed, then this is usually due to the wrong file system.
A few years ago, researching a car online meant visiting the dealer’s website to get information before buying. That has changed. Dealers now follow potential buyers to their favorite platforms–where they like to hang out–to market to them. According to statistics, global internet users spend144 minutes on social media every day.
Considering that more than half of the global population uses social media, targeting car buyers on these platforms makes perfect sense for any dealership. Here are four tips on how to market your car dealership on social media like a pro.
Encourage and Respond to User Reviews
Nothing works magic in dealership marketing like positive testimonials. According to one report, more than90% of car buyers read online reviews before visiting a dealership. Social media is a great place to encourage and monitor reviews. Customers can talk to you directly about their experience and get instant feedback. You can also offer timely responses to complaints by unhappy customers.
On social media, you can generate new reviews and control conversations. You can also import and post other positive reviews from websites to your social media pages and get more leads. Just ensure that as you encourage customers to share reviews on your social media pages, you also take time to read and respond to their concerns.
Post Fresh Web Content
Social media marketing is more effective when used alongside other strategies. One of these strategies is content marketing. You can start an informational blog on your website about different topics, such as what to look for when buying used cars. This is a clever way to draw potential customers to your website to read content by your car dealership. Whenever you have a new article on your website, you can post its link on your social media platforms.
Use Multiple Platforms
Different people have their favourite social media platforms where they spend most of their time. Confining your social media marketing strategies to one platform will only limit your reach. Advertise on multiple social media platforms to reach people of different demographics.
For instance,Instagram is the perfect platform to target millennials and Gen Zers. Young people are more fascinated with pictures and videos and are more likely to get their news from such platforms. Starting a YouTube channel for car maintenance and simple repair tutorials is another great idea. But it’s worth mentioning that content that may work for one social media platform may not work on another.
Create Compelling Videos
Videos draw attention and make people feel more connected. People will easily scroll past a text-based post but pause to watch a video. Include short but quality videos in your social media posts to encourage clicks. It could be a short Facebook ad for a new vehicle or direct advertising.
You can create an educational video with interesting information about car features or even give your customers a behind-the-scenes tour of your dealership. The more people see your videos, the more they’ll feel connected to your brand.
There was a time when actors weren’t really interested in fashion. They were content to let their craft speak for itself. Then actors like Timothée Chalamet and Jacob Elordi arrived, and the red carpet began to resemble this passage from Kill Bill where Uma Thurman blinks and the world goes from black and white to color..
A few days ago for example, Jacob Elordi appeared on the American show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon dressed in a long-sleeved polo-style knit sweater. A piece with a so-called “boxy” square cut. The latter stopped at the waist, without being too short, and can be worn with jeans as well as in a more formal way under a suit. In short, an almost ideal piece of clothing, which goes with everything, and available for just over €400. Well almost.
With a rapid upsurge in digitalization, social media marketing has driven business with a phenomenon boom. But as Internet-centric customers are smarter than their forefathers, today’s marketplace has transformed into a competitive sphere. This is one sheer reason why ‘humorous’ marketing becomes engaging to attract hard-to-reach consumers. Talking about the concept of humorous marketing, meme jacking happens to be a core solution! And here’s your guide elucidating the ways to create memes for your business on social media.
What Are Memes and How to Use Memes for Social Media Engagement?
From digital marketers, professional storytellers, and creative pros to entrepreneurs and entertainers – everyone praises meme marketing. As its other name suggests, meme-jacking is an extremely cost-effective tool to create engaging content on social media. So, how do you use memes for social media engagement?
Brands that struggle to expand their audience base and connect to their prospective customers can make the right use of memes. In fact, a multitude of memes are available in the market today. What you need is to choose the right ones effectively. Let’s now move on to the strategies to incorporate for creating intriguing memes for social media posts.
On this note, here’s how every brand can attract more customers on social media platforms through memes.
1. Promoting The Values of Your Brand
Regardless of whether you’re a brand or an influencer, the secret to attracting more customers only lies in your relevance. Remember that people only follow you as long as your brand is relatable to their interests. For this reason, it is imperative to show what you actually can do as a brand. This is where the emergence of meme marketing helps your business.
By using memes, you are not only going to build brand affinity but also increase your customer base. All you require is finding the right video, GIF, and photo, to create a message that captures your vision and identity. If you can make it humorous, there’s another bonus point for you – it makes the brand all the more memorable!
2. Sharing Viral Posts from The Community
According to the sought-after social media design crazes, sharing the screenshots of past viral posts is an effective step to generate traffic. Much to the knowledge of enthusiasts, this trend is a much-loved one. And the praiseworthy community aspect of this trend is that brands aren’t only sharing their past posts.
Brands are also getting familiar with the previous posts that reflect their attitude, brand style, as well as messaging. This way, it appeals to the entire fan base on social media. For meme-jacking, influencers and brands are currently walking an extra mile by adding the on-brand backgrounds to the post.
So, you should understand choosing your previous memes that are worth repurposing for maximum engagement. Choose one such meme that the majority resonate with fun and humor.
3. The Promotion of Your Brand’s Products or Services
There’s no denying that brands create memes only because they are smart, clever, funny, and, most importantly, drive more traffic. At first, no one would ever come to know that it’s a form of promotion or ad of a service or product. With memes, soft promotion of products and services becomes an excellent solution.
Memes should be playful and entertaining while driving customer attention to products or services peripherally. On social media platforms, your objective is to promote products and engage audiences. Memes serve both purposes with an indirect focus on selling.
4. Time-And-Tide Waits for None – Not Even Memes
Besides relevancy, your social media memes should be posted on time. This way, relating to your audience and brand is possible through meme-jacking. No matter how laugh-inducing memes you share on social media, they do not attract potential customers unless they are timely posted.
In addition, you should also remember to post them on time, even during the holidays. For this, you can set a reminder just to stay doubly sure about the posting time. Never forget that punctuality plays a crucial role when it comes to hijacking memes.
5. A Higher Degree of Entertainment
Business-centric values are great for your brand. But unless your memes touch your audience’s heart, do you think they are anyway going to impact your business profitability? For this reason, you would require concentrating on giving importance to your customers. Thus, memes can play a significant role in entertaining them on social media.
Relatable memes will have a fundamental part in attracting fans’ attention. So, sharing hilarious, cute, funny, and formal memes that are relatable to your audiences’ interest can benefit you in the foreseeable future.
So, it should be approachable on humanity grounds. And sharing funny and humorous memes without any reason helps create social media engagement extraordinarily.
6. Excluding The Ideas of Over-Marketing
Unlike conventional marketing, meme marketing is never to misunderstand with over-marketing. If a majority of customers witness any over-marketing element in the meme, it might not stand out. Besides integrating funny, humorous, and hilarious components in your meme, you can also add your own creation to it.
Alternatively, you can also add a formal touch to the meme. While it entirely depends on how you choose it, unless you put on your creative hat, how would you be able to comprehend? While memes should feature your own brand, they should never represent it! Remember, there’s a sleek difference!
The Bottom Line
Needless to say, memes are a fascinating way to stay connected with your customers. It helps in developing a brand personality too. Although they are of short life-spans, they are an incredibly cost-effective engagement tool to boost your reach and interactions. Create useful, funny, and informative memes to attract the audience.
So, if your brand seeks an inexpensive strategy to go viral, it’s better to start using these memes on social media and reach out to your audience with bells and whistles. And for that, pay attention to the tips mentioned above and be popular on social media in no time!
The Nintendo Switch is on the rise: in addition to a series of exclusives, the sales figures are equally impressive. However, when it comes to video, the console is a little behind the rest: only recently has YouTube reached the Nintendo hybrid and other applications like Netflix or Amazon are not yet present on the console.
However, according to VentureBeat, the case may change. According to Jean-Baptiste Kempf, lead developer at VideoLan (which owns VLC), he has plans to bring the video player to Nintendo Switch.
VLC Media Player is one of the most popular and versatile software to run video on the PC and would be a novelty for the Nintendo Switch. It is worth noting that, although VLC is also available on Xbox One consoles, a PS4 version would be unlikely since, in Kempf’s words, PS4 already has its own media player and streaming service.
With this software, in theory, it would be possible to run personal videos on your Nintendo Switch. However, it is very unlikely that this will happen in the near future.
Motorola es uno de esos fabricantes que ha dado mil giros en la industria. Después de un pasado con Google, pasó a manos de Lenovo, que lleva unos años exprimiendo la marca con exponentes claros como la gama Moto G, una familia que comenzó su andadura hace casi una década y que a pesar de los altibajos, ahora vuelve a ser un bastión para la firma.
En esta ocasión hemos tenido el placer de probar el Motorola Moto G84 5G, la última apuesta de Motorola en esta serie, destinado directamente a una gama media muy competida y que ha causado muy buenas sensaciones por su diseño en cuero vegano. Después de unos días en nuestro laboratorio de pruebas, estamos listos para determinar si tendrá la oportunidad de ganarse un hueco en este rango de precios. Así que, sin más dilación, quedáis invitados a la review del Moto G84 5G.

Un diseño que enamora a simple vista, y un apartado multimedia cumplidor
Lo particular de este modelo, muy similar al Moto G82 del año pasado, es la gama de colores en la que está disponible. Unos colores que siguen el sistema de definición cromática de Pantone, en la unidad analizada el denominado “” que lo hace realmente exclusivo. Además de los colores, los materiales en la trasera también destacan por su tacto premium, o eso extraemos de la cubierta de cuero vegano del Moto G84 5G que ha pasado por nuestras manos.
Pero antes de explicar estas rarezas más detenidamente, hagámoslo todo en orden y empecemos a repasar su diseño al completo, así como los apartados multimedia: pantalla y sonido. Lo primero que destaca al sostener este Moto en la mano es su peso. Se siente ligero y muy cómodo, con un agarre bastante natural gracias a las curvas de sus extremos. Además, la botonera se muestra firme, y nos ha gustado que los botones sean algo más finos de lo que solemos ver en la competencia.
Las esquinas son redondeadas y los laterales están fabricados en aluminio, lo que mejora las sensaciones en mano, pero sobre todo lo que más aporta al conjunto son los materiales de su trasera. En la unidad que hemos analizado, con una trasera de cuero vegano que otorga cierto aire premium, a pesar de que estamos en la gama media.
Evidentemente no estamos ante un teléfono compacto, pues su panel de 6,55 pulgadas lo imposibilita, pero en ningún momento se siente incómodo -en parte gracias al peso, pero también a su grosor de 7,6 milímetros- ni resbala de las manos.
Pasamos ahora al elemento que domina todo el frontal, una pantalla grande que muestra un buen aprovechamiento de la parte delantera, y contiene un recorte en forma circular donde se aloja la cámara frontal. Sin ser simétrico en relación con los biseles superior e inferior, se acerca bastante al equilibrio, como sí muestra en los biseles izquierdo y derecho.
Eso sí, todos bastante reducidos y que no rompen con la filosofía “todo pantalla” que vemos hoy en día. A nivel técnico es un buen panel: pOLED y FullHD+ que proporcionan unos colores vibrantes, unos negros profundos, y buenos ángulos de visión, siempre dentro de su gama de precios.
Por tanto, este Moto G84 5G es ideal para todos aquellos que busquen una gran pantalla para consumir contenido multimedia, e incluso para jugar. No nos olvidamos de que se refresca a 120 hercios, que además se mantienen bastante sólidos a nivel de sistema. También, la capa de Motorola nos permite seleccionar la tasa de refresco, entre sendas opciones de 60, 120 hercios o bien el modo automático que alterna las dos tasas de manera inteligente.
El apartado multimedia se cierra con el sonido, estéreo si optamos por los altavoces integrados en este móvil de Motorola. Estos devuelven una calidad de audio bastante alta, con medios y agudos a buen nivel. No serán tan sorprendentes los “enlatado” graves, que alejan a estos altavoces del sobresaliente. El volumen cumple sobremanera, rozando los 90 dB.
Por otro lado, usando auriculares o cascos externos también cumple, pues equipa el adorado conector de auriculares de 3,5 milímetros. Mediante Bluetooth, mantiene el nivel, sin problemas para vincular unos auriculares de terceros y con soporte para el códec aptX de Qualcomm, algo que mejora la calidad de sonido a través de esta conexión inalámbrica.
Así debería ser el rendimiento de todo gama media
Entramos ahora en un terreno complicado para algunos móviles de gama media: el rendimiento. No obstante, este Moto G84 5G no tendrá ningún problema, porque adelantándonos a lo que viene, podemos decir que este es el rendimiento que se espera en un móvil de este rango de precio. En parte es gracias al procesador, firmado por Qualcomm, un Snapdragon 695 que sin demasiados alardes consigue mover Android 13 sin mayores impedimentos.
Eso sí, no estamos ante un procesador avanzado, por lo que los tiempos de carga son superiores, sin llegar a ser alarmante. Pero la mayoría del tiempo es capaz de sostener los 120 hercios de la pantalla sin despeinarse, mostrando además unas animaciones fluidas y sin saltos. La multitarea tampoco le hace sufrir, y es que con los 12 GB de memoria RAM que equipa, puede mantener al menos una docena de aplicaciones en segundo plano.
El tiene mucho que ver con este desempeño, porque cuando le exigimos un poco más de la cuenta, como por ejemplo con juegos con altas cargas gráficas, la GPU palidece frente a otras alternativas. Hemos jugado durante varias sesiones a títulos como ” y ”, para así conocer los límites de la potencia gráfica del ‘cerebro’ Snapdragon. Pero antes, veamos los resultados que hemos obtenido en los tests sintéticos a los que exponemos los móviles que pasan por nuestro laboratorio de pruebas.

El título de miHoYo es totalmente disfrutable a pesar del modesto procesador, con los ajustes en calidad media y una tasa de fotogramas bastante estable: en torno a los 60 FPS, aunque en ocasiones decae. Si optamos por subir los efectos gráficos y otros elementos visuales, veremos un importante receso en los fotogramas que imposibilitará disfrutar del juego. Por otro lado, el de Activision es menos demandante, por lo que los 60 FPS serán sólidos en calidad media-alta (hemos combinado algunos ajustes).
Como hemos mencionado anteriormente, este Motorola Moto G84 viene con la última versión del sistema operativo de Google, Android 13. A expensas de la futura actualización a Android 14, lo cierto es que este de Motorola es casi perfecto, aunque tiene alguna que otra sombra. Destaca su interfaz, cercana a la de los Google Pixel (Android en un estado bastante puro), sin apenas bloatware (más allá de algunas apps que se pueden desinstalar), y con una ristra de funciones muy bien implementadas como , la RAM virtual o el versátil launcher nativo.
También observamos algunos cambios respecto a Android stock en los ajustes, adaptados a las necesidades específicas del terminal. Y cuando hablábamos de pegas, nos referíamos a algunas partes de la implementación de Motorola: específicamente, hay elementos en la interfaz que se superponen, por lo que hablamos de aspectos estéticos. Más allá de este inconveniente, salvable vía una posterior actualización, tenemos un Android que funciona como la seda, y actualizado en materia de seguridad con el parche de agosto.
De igual manera, la autonomía redondea el conjunto, de hecho lo impulsa a cotas más altas, porque la batería de 5.000 mAh da un resultado mejor que en otros móviles que hemos probado. Con un uso normal, mayoría de WiFi y 4G en exteriores, puede llegar a los dos o tres días de autonomía sin despeinarse, dependiendo, eso sí, de las horas de pantallas que hagamos.
Manteniendo la pantalla encendida durante 2 o 3 horas al día nos permitirá llegar al segundo día sin complicaciones, pero si abusamos de juegos o aplicaciones que demanden potencia podríamos gastarla en una misma jornada como sucede en cualquier móvil de hoy en día.
Por tanto, es una excelente batería la de este Moto G84 5G, de sobra para el gran público y exquisita para el usuario más intensivo. Cargar el móvil después de tres días se hace impensable en smartphones con procesadores más top, y esta es una de las ventajas del Snadragon 695: muestra una eficiencia envidiable. Además, no hemos notado que el terminal se caliente en exceso, únicamente con juegos como ‘Genshin Impact’ o con la carga rápida , sin que llegue a molestar en ningún momento.
Ahora que sale a escena, hablamos de su carga rápida, licenciada por Motorola como TurboPower. En realidad, es una carga rápida de 33 vatios, algo habitual en esta gama de precios, por lo que ni sorprende ni defrauda. Además, poca queja podemos tener cuando muchos fabricantes omiten el cargador en el empaquetado original, algo que no sucede en este caso.
A continuación, como hacemos en nuestros análisis, dejamos el porcentaje de batería alcanzado en distintos periodos de tiempo, usando el cargador original que viene incluido en la caja:
5 minutos de carga: 11 % de batería.
10 minutos de carga: 19 % de batería.
20 minutos de carga: 38 % de batería.
30 minutos de carga: 52 % de batería.
50 minutos de carga: 78 % de batería.
Total: 72 minutos de carga.
Los Moto G también se defienden en fotografía
La fotografía ha subido el nivel en la gama media estos últimos años, alcanzando también la tendencia de añadir sensores de varias decenas de megapíxeles, tal y como ocurre en este integrante de la familia Moto G. Además, se apunta a la moda del doble sensor, con un principal de 50 megapíxeles con apertura f/1.88 y un secundario que hace la función de ultra gran angular (y macro) con una resolución de 8 megapíxeles. Más allá de los datos técnicos, el resultado nos ha dejado bastante satisfechos.
Pero antes de entrar a valorarlos, demos un repaso por la aplicación de cámara que propone Motorola. Una app que nos ha parecido muy completa e intuitiva, con una interfaz parecida a la famosa Cámara de Google y que tiene modos para todas las necesidades: auto, retrato, vídeo, cámara lenta, y una ristra de extras como la visión nocturna (el modo noche, similar al de Google), Ultra-res (para capturar a la máxima resolución), sin olvidar el avanzado modo ‘Pro’, capaz de capturar en RAW.
Ahora sí, pasemos a valorar lo que es capaz de capturar durante el día y en modo auto, y la verdad es que el resultado es bastante bueno. Como podemos observar en las imágenes inferiores, el nivel de nitidez de este sensor supera las expectativas, aunque en ocasiones o bien sobrexpone la escena o bien la subexpone, estropeando algo el resultado. Quizá con una actualización de la app o del propio se solucione, pues en otras tomas sí ha conseguido equilibrar la luz de una mejor manera.
El modo auto resuelve bien el nivel de ISO, manteniéndolo en mínimo, aunque como es natural, lo eleva por encima de los 2K cuando estamos ante una escena nocturna. Aun así, el ruido no es demasiado evidente, y con un modo Visión Nocturna que enfría las cálidas luces del escenario y añade más definición.
El ultra gran angular no consigue lo mismo que la cámara principal, sobre todo en resolución, por lo que siempre hemos optado por el sensor por defecto. Servirá para alguna toma más amplia durante momentos en los que la luz abunde, pero fuera de ahí estaremos perdiendo mucha luminosidad y por lo tanto el ruido hará mella en estas capturas.
Por otro lado, el modo retrato realiza un recorte bastante efectivo para aplicar el , dando como resultado retratos muy llamativos a simple vista. De nuevo, como hemos observado en teléfonos de este rango de precio, puede haber alguna confusión con accesorios como gafas, aunque generalmente cumple sobradamente.
De hecho, usando la cámara frontal también obtendremos buenos selfis con efecto retrato, menos luminosos que con el sensor principal pero nada desdeñables cuando la luz acompaña.

Motorola Moto G84 5G, la opinión de SamaGame Android
El nuevo gama media de Motorola demuestra el buen trabajo del fabricante, y deja claras las intenciones de alargar una familia que podría dar alguna alegría más a la histórica firma. Tenemos un móvil que cumple en todos los apartados, sobresale en autonomía y cumple en lo más difícil: la experiencia fotográfica.
Por lo tanto, se hace un dispositivo adecuado para el grueso de los usuarios, con pantalla grande y solvente, un procesador suficiente para la mayoría de aplicaciones, memorias “para aburrir” y un muy ligero y aderezado con pequeñas adiciones. La gama Moto G suma un integrante más, y esta vez con las suficientes armas para conquistar a los usuarios que buscan un gama media que cubra todas sus necesidades.

With a new social media platform, you always have to figure out how to customize it and which settings you prefer. That’s why we’re happy to help you with five Threads tips for a better user experience.
1. Turn off Threads suggestions
You may have noticed that Threads posts also appear regularly on Instagram. Nice if you want to be found, but if you prefer to separate it, it is a clumsy affair. Fortunately, you can turn this off.
Go to your profile and press the two lines at the top right. Then go to ‘Privacy > Suggest messages on other apps’. Here you can disable the suggestion of your posts on both Facebook and Instagram. Does that one former colleague no longer see your drunken posts?

2. Follow accounts that are not yet on Threads
Do you want to easily follow a number of accounts that you follow on Instagram on Threads? You already get that option when you create your account, but after that it is more difficult. Especially if those accounts have not yet created a Threads page, or have not yet appeared on your timeline.
Fortunately, you can easily look this up via the settings. In your profile, go to the two lines at the top right and then to ‘Follow and invite friends’. Below you will see under the heading Follow > Instagram friends. Here you can find Instagram accounts you follow in a list and easily tap the follow button to follow them.
Aren’t they on Threads yet? Then you can follow them in advance when they create their Threads account. You will also receive notifications, provided you have enabled the notifications of course.
3. Filter Threads you don’t want to see
You may have noticed it in the first few weeks: there is quite a bit of rubbish. Meta’s algorithm doesn’t seem to fully understand what a user does and doesn’t find interesting. As a result, you see posts on the ‘For you’ timeline that are often not relevant. Are you really fed up with certain topics? Then you can filter them out.
You do this by going to your profile and tapping the two lines at the top right. Then choose ‘Other account settings’. You will now be redirected to the settings in the Instagram app. Here, tap ‘Suggested content > Specific words and phrases’. You can now add words here that relate to topics you do not want to see. You can add several at the same time by placing a comma between the words.
It’s not ideal, but this way you can get a little more control over your timeline and what you see there. Don’t feel like reading threads about crypto, for example? Then you can easily put that word in the list.
4. Easily quote a Thread
Do you have a post that you would like to repost with your own addition? There is no really useful term for it yet, but the phenomenon is the same as ‘quote tweeting’ on Twitter, now X. Of course, a handy shortcut cannot be missing from our list of Threads tips.
Everyone was talking about it for three days, even though it’s actually not that exciting. If you want to quote a Thread, press and hold the repost button. Then the editor opens where you already have the Thread in, with space above it to type something.
Is it really more effort to open a Thread and then tap the repost arrows? Not as far as we are concerned. Nevertheless, it is a fun option and may be useful for live events in the future.
5. Translate threads from other languages
Curious what the Thread says on your timeline, but don’t feel like using Google Translate? That is not necessary, because Threads can already show you a translation of the Thread from your timeline. A post has a translation icon at the bottom right. When you tap this, the Thread changes to the language you have set the app to (such as Dutch).
Would you rather change the language of your app? Then go to your settings via your profile and tap Language to choose which one you prefer to use.
