The Samsung Galaxy A33 5G receives a major update


Samsung has released a new security update for the Galaxy A33 5G in select countries.

The Korean giant continues to deploy the March 2023 security update. In particular on certain mid-range mobiles which have not yet upgraded. The security update that Samsung is rolling out right now fixes some of the serious security flaws. It should be noted that these flaws mainly affect Galaxy smartphones and tablets with Exynos processors.

Galaxy A33 5G gets March 2023 security update in Europe

Galaxy A33 5G latest software update comes with firmware version A336BXXS5CWC2. It is currently being deployed in Europe. Additionally, it brings the March 2023 security patch which fixes more than 50 security vulnerabilities. It should be noted that other flaws will see their patches in the latest update of April 2023. This is already available for the Galaxy S23 series in South Korea.

If you own a Galaxy A33 5G, you can now download the new software update. To do this, go to the Settingsthen select Software update. Finally, press Download and install. Besides, you can also download the new firmware file online. So, you will be able to flash it using Odin tool on Windows PC.

As a reminder, Samsung launched the mid-range mobile in early 2022 with One UI 4 based on Android 12. Then, the smartphone received the One UI 5.0 update based on Android 13 towards the end of 2022. Finally, it has benefited from the One UI 5.1 overlay for a few weeks. This allows users to have access to additional software features.

He cheats in Total War, but gets banned in Destiny 2. One of the best players in the MMO receives a radical punishment


Bungie has expelled Cruz, one of its most legendary players, from Destiny 2. The reason for the sanction? According to the information that he himself has shared on his channels, the security team has caught him using cheats…in a different game. The one in question, furthermore, is completely incompatible with the MMO in question; so many have sympathized with the affected person.

cross carries four World’s First behind him: he has been present on the fastest teams in the world to complete several in D2, including “The Crystal Chamber”, “The End of Crota”, “The Fall of the King” and “Oath of the Disciple”. Unfortunately, it looks like his career ends with a message from Bungie stating that the team has closely monitored the ban and confirmed the use of cheats that violate the terms of use.

The program in question is indeed used to cheat, but as we said above it is designed specifically to old Total War games. “They have an outdated economy system, so I usually run a program to alleviate the situation beyond what some Steam Workshop mods alleviate it,” says Cruz on his X account (formerly Twitter).

His thread continues: “the program cannot modify any file because it is strictly limited around the economics of these games. I’m sure that after I closed it, because I’ve been playing a lot of Shogun 2 recently, it was still active in the background.” ArtMoney, which is what it’s called, allows players like Cruz to unlock elite units faster by adding funds to their army typing a simple command on a console. It can jump into a regular detection, but as you can see, it is of no use in Destiny 2.

Cruz’s future in Destiny 2

After challenging the issue with Bungie, the response he got from support indicated that “an editing/memory program marked as a cheat was detected and was denied as a false positive.” Since then, journalists close to Destiny 2 such as Paul Tassi or Tom Warren have shared this story on their channels, perhaps in the hope of encouraging the Washington studio to review the case once again. Unless this happens, Elysium will have to do without his companion.

Samsung surprises: ancient smartwatch receives a new update


The Galaxy Watch 6 is expected to be launched in a few weeks. But if you now think that Samsung has left its old smartwatches behind…

The Galaxy Watch 6 is expected to be launched in a few weeks. But anyone who now believes that Samsung is leaving its old smartwatches on the sidelines is mistaken. Because even an ancient smartwatch has now received a new update.

Actually, the Galaxy Watch already rested in the technology cemetery. After all, five years is half an eternity in the smartwatch world. Nevertheless, Samsung has rolled out a new update for the smartwatch released in 2018.

Samsung releases update for Galaxy Watch

That’s round 34MB big and according to Samsung it should Improve the behavior of the sensors in the watch (via Android Authority). However, SamaGametronics manufacturer does not explain exactly what that means.

But it should be obvious that with the update, Samsung will fixed a serious bug, which has affected the functioning of the Galaxy Watch. Otherwise, Samsung would hardly have given a new update to a five-year-old smartwatch.

The build number of the update is R810XXU1GWE2. Samsung, on the other hand, hasn’t tweaked the software version. It stays with Tizen 5.5.0.2.

Most recently, Samsung distributed an update for the Galaxy Watch in August 2022. At that time it was about improving the stability of the GPS module.

Samsung is struggling with losses in the smartwatch market

Samsung surprises: ancient smartwatch receives a new update

The smartwatch market hasn’t had good news for Samsung lately. The South Koreans fell from second to third place and had to give up their silver medal to a comparatively unknown manufacturer from India.

The hopes should now rest on the Galaxy Watch 6, which is to be presented at the end of July. According to the latest rumours, the Samsung smartwatch with the rotating bezel should bring back a legendary feature. However, potential buyers could be disappointed with the processor, because Samsung is only supposed to use an old chip with a slightly higher clock.

Chromecast with Google TV receives its first update of 2024. Improves performance, but don’t expect Fast Pair


Having our devices updated is always something we like because three things can happen: it has performance improvements, it has new functions or it is simply a security patch, which is also fine. There is a fourth possibility, which is an update that breaks something or makes the experience worse, but it is not normal.

A device that is not updated much is the Chromecast with Google TV, but that is going to change in 2024. Google has already announced several improvements, such as the arrival of Fast Pair to the platform, but before that we have to talk about the Chromecast Google TV update just released. It is 150 MB and we will tell you how to install it.

How to download the new Chromecast Google TV update

Google ended 2023 improving the Chromecast with an update and is going to start the year with more of the same. It is always good news, but in addition, In 2024 we will have very juicy news for the device.

At CES in Las Vegas, the company announced that it was joining hands with TikTok to bring the platform to TV thanks to the ‘Send’ function. In addition, at some point this year we will be able to connect our compatible TWS headphones to the Chromecast much more easily thanks to the Fast Pair function.

When that update arrives and we open, for example, the headphone box near a Chromecast Google TV, a notice will appear indicating that, if we wish, we can connect those headphones to start outputting the audio through them.

As we say, that function has not arrived yet, but as we read in Android Authority, and as we have been able to update on our device, Google has just released the STTL.231114.004 update for the Chromecast with Google TV 4K.

This is an update that weighs 148 MB, which raises the security patch to December 2023 (the last, therefore) and that includes some performance improvements. No matter how minimal this improvement is, it is always welcome considering that, sometimes, the Chromecast can be jerky.

The update should install automatically, but if it doesn’t, follow these steps to update your Chromecast Google TV to the latest version:

  • Enter the Chromecast settings, going to the top right.
  • In ‘Settings’ we must go to ‘System’.
  • Once there, click on ‘Information’ and, again, click on ‘System Update’.
  • It will keep looking for an update and when it finds it, we download it and reboot to apply it.

Once this is done, you will have your Chromecast updated and the only thing left is to wait for next month when, supposedly, the long-awaited Fast Pair function would arrive.

Just because your Xiaomi updates to HyperOS does not mean that it also receives Android 14


More than 100 Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones are expected to be updated to the Asian company’s new operating system, HyperOSbased on Android 14. However, it has been announced that even more devices will receive the new system, only it will be an update based on an older version of Android.

In other words, many phones will receive the version of HyperOS based on Android 14, but older devices will be updated to a version of HyperOS based on Android 13. On the one hand, it is good news since more devices will be updated to the new Xiaomi system, on the other hand, the bad news is that they will not have the latest Android news.

These are the first 5 phones that will receive HyperOS with Android 13

Xiaomi has already started updating mobile phones to its new operating system, HyperOS, and even some models like the new POCO X6 Pro have already debuted with HyperOS installed from the factory. More than 100 devices will be updated, all of them relatively recent and modern releases from the three brands associated with the company.

But according to information revealed by Gizmochina, the company would like to bring its new operating system to more devices, even if they are older. These devices, however, would have to pay the price of not having the latest version of Androidbut rather the version of HyperOS based on Android 13.

The first older models to receive this version of HyperOS are:

  • LITTLE F3
  • Xiaomi 12X
  • Xiaomi Mi 11X
  • Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G
  • Redmi K40

HyperOS is a more complete operating system and not just a custom layer on top of Android. Xiaomi’s system is built on the Linux kernel by adding Android libraries together with elements of Xiaomi’s Vela operating system.

The fact that for some models Xiaomi has opted for a version of HyperOS based on Android 13 should not surprise us, since some versions of MIUI, the custom layer that the company used before its new system, also arrived based on previous versions of Android.

The date on which these devices will be updated has not yet been confirmed, nor which other models will receive the version of HyperOS based on Android 13.

Nintendo’s most anticipated game finally receives new details: Metroid Prime 4 has its long-awaited reveal closer and closer, leak claims


Fans waiting for signs of life are still counting the days since the game was first announced quite a few years ago, and are understandably on the hunt for any news about the game. We still have no official information from Nintendo, but someone compiled a good dose of information that points to a revelation may no longer be as far away as we imagine.

The YouTube channel has focused on publishing information regarding Nintendo for a long time, and in its most recent video, it was the protagonist thanks to a couple of findings made by the content creator. The first of them is about a potential alliance between Nintendo and Next-Gen Dreams 3D, a AAA production company that has worked with companies like Ubisoft and Take-Two. This may not mean much, but if true, it at least ensures that development is on the right track.

The second discovery is the most interesting, since someone named Edwin Atwell assured having worked on a demo of during the last 10 months, looking for bugs and polishing the Nintendo game from top to bottom. He probably didn’t have permission to talk about it, but if it has been in the process of correcting and other errors for all that time, it is very possible that the game will finally come out of the shadows and be presented to the public again, said the person who gathered all the information. .

Of course, none of this ensures anything, even if it is completely real. is certainly on everyone’s lips following the return of the first installment, in addition to rumors and leaks surrounding the same deal on the way for the sequel. With no Nintendo exclusive ready to cover the holiday season in 2024, the miracle may finally happen this year.

Metroid Prime 4 will arrive someday, let’s just hope the years of waiting are worth it in the end

Metroid Prime 4 has made us wait almost 7 years

It was first announced in 2017, but development had to start from scratch in 2019 due to a change of studios (now in the hands of Retro Studios). With the Nintendo Switch 2 also causing discussions about its potential release this year, It is possible that Samus will release the new Big N consolebut we will have to wait for time to answer this concern.

First of all, it is important to note that this is an update that should be available later today on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PCsince CD Projekt has already abandoned the old generation versions, at least as far as the creation of new content is concerned.

The first part of the patch talks about a multitude of corrections to small bugs related to mission objectives that could not be fulfilled under certain circumstances. This being the case, it will now be much less common to see errors in this field. As for the open worldthe main solution that this Cyberpunk 2077 update has provided is the one that prevented a mission from being activated when approaching it, which caused it to remain undiscovered.

What is most relevant to us, however, are two modifications that exclusively affect the Xbox Series X|S version. CD Projekt explains that the maximum number of manual saves is now twenty, while the maximum number of saves at points of no return is ten. If you have more of those saved, you will have to make room for the next ones.

The ESLAND 2024 finally receives a change that will greatly benefit TheGrefg’s awards gala. There will be a professional jury away from fanaticism


2024 will begin in style with the celebration in Andorra of the ESLAND. The live content creation awards gala directed by TheGrefg will return in the best possible way, as it has finally announced that there will be significant changes regarding voting.

Through a live video with Pol, a content creator who explained last year the most effective process for this type of awards, all the changes that will come to the third edition of the ESLAND were announced, being the selection of nominees and the final votes the most outstanding.

After several discussions, it has been concluded that professionals should have much more weight in the votes than the general public. This has led to the fact that, after two years of controversy, the distribution of votes is 25% for the public and 75% for the creators of content.

Important and necessary changes for ESLAND 2024

They will exist two types of categories: the professional ones and the popular ones. In the popular ones, the public will have 50% of the votes and those that have the most weight in the community will be included, such as ‘clip of the year’ or ‘anger of the year’. As for the professional categories, instead of being chosen by the people, will be decided through statistical analysis to avoid meaningless nominations. Thus, the 10 best in each category in terms of views and hours recorded will go to the final phase.

Once the content creators have been chosen in each category, you can vote for 4 candidates from all the nominees in order of preference. It should be noted that these votes will not begin until next year, since this will allow an analysis to be made based on the entire year. It seems that Grefg wants to find the formula for the ESLAND to last beyond a trilogy that stands out more for its controversies than for the awards themselves.
