  • Samsung might drop Bixby to push Google Assistant

    Google Assistant, your own personal Google

    Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. could eliminate Bixby, the virtual voice
    assistant, and the Galaxy Apps Store from its mobile devices under a deal
    with Alphabet Inc’s Google. It is the latest effort by Google to convince
    Samsung to lose one of its services and instead promote Google’s search,
    Assistant and Play Store apps. If the move is successful, Google would
    grab the world’s bestselling mobile device maker by units sold, and
    Samsung would drop its own services while the search giant is
    highlighted. Android software powers phones from Samsung and many
    other companies as an incentive to provide manufacturers with
    advertising revenue from Google apps featured on their devices. 

  • Samsung-SoFi’s money manager app is FDIC-insured 6x of a bank account

    Samsung Money by SoFi lands in the US with a physical card and ...

    Samsung has officially launched its new money management
    service. Dubbed Samsung Money by SoFi, the mobile service is
    available to Samsung Pay users in the U.S., and will give subscribers
    access to a cash management app and a Debit Mastercard, amongst
    other benefits. Customers will find their digital debit card in their
    Samsung Pay wallet as soon as they activate and fund their Samsung
    Money account, and they will only need to tap their phone to
    activate their physical card once they receive it in the mail. 

    The physical card will not display the user’s card number, expiration
    date, or CVC number in order to make it more difficult for fraudsters
    to get hold of that information. For added safety, Samsung Money
    by SoFi comes with the defense-grade security of Samsung Knox,
    which protects users’ information all the way down to the chip
    level. And the FDIC insures every Samsung Money by SoFi account
    up to $1.5 million (6x that of a traditional bank account). 
    Active Samsung Money by SoFi users will soon have access to
    discounts on Samsung Galaxy smartphones, tablets, wearables, TVs,
    laptops, washers, refrigerators and more on Samsung.com. It can be
    instantly activated and has no fees. In addition, they will earn
    Samsung Rewards points for every purchase made within Samsung
    Pay. An added benefit for Samsung Pay users is being able to fund
    Samsung Money by SoFi account instantly from other registered
    debit cards already in Pay wallet. 

  • Tesla hiring servicing staff in Singapore

    Tesla's Brand Believers

    Tesla Inc has advertised for servicing staff in Singapore. Just three days ago,
    Tesla listed five roles based in Singapore. The available roles are service
    advisor, service manager, vehicle readiness specialist, parts advisor, and
    vehicle service technician. LinkedIn shows that Tesla is “actively
    recruiting” for these five roles in Singapore. It was not clear where in
    Singapore the new hires would be based, or whether the U.S. automaker
    currently has any employees in the country.

  • Apple reportedly delays launch event for new 5G iPhones

    Apple is losing the 5G race | Ad Age

    Apple is reportedly delaying a fall launch event for its next batch of
    iPhones to the “latter half of October.” The tech giant was forced to push
    back its traditional September keynote address due to production delays
    caused by the coronavirus. Apple is now on track to release its 5G iPhones
    just in time for the all-important holiday season. Apple is expected to
    announce four new iPhones at the fall event, with the 5G models not
    hitting stores until November, while the lower-end LTE phones will be
    available to customers shortly following the keynote. The iPhone 12 line
    faced delays due to “practical hurdles” caused by the coronavirus.

  • PS3 Trophy Exploit & timestamp



    To quote: That’s right, geezers. You can now platinum any PS3 game instantly!

    Requirements

    – An exploited PS3 (JailBroken) on 3.41
    – PC with Hex Editor Neo (recommended)
    – The PS3 FTP Manager 
    – Filezilla (PC FTP Client)

    I’m warning you right now. If you plan to sync your hacked trophies with this method, you may face a risk of getting banned by Sony. It’s highly unlikely but it’s possible. So, be warned!

    A brief of how this hack works:

    Inside the trophy collection section on your XMB, there are games represented by thier TROPUSR.DAT(s) respectively, where you can view the % of a game, what have you unlocked, etc. TROPUSR.DAT stores all of that information. Basically to get everything unlocked on a game, you will need to edit that game’s TROPUSR.DAT.

    Manually editting TROPUSR.DAT can take a while to get used to. But after learning where and which byte to change, you will be able to platinum a game in no time.

    Tutorial

    Modifying the TROPUSR.DAT file of Yakuza 3 will be part of this tutorial.

    1) Launch the FTP service on PS3.

    2) Open Filezilla on PC, connect and navigate to the folder where TROPUSR.DAT is stored. For example:

    Code:
    /dev_hdd0/home/00000001/trophy/NPWR01101_00

    00000001 is my user ID.

    NPWR01101_00 is the Yakuza 3 folder.

    Inside the NPWR01101_00 folder, there will be a file which is called TROPUSR.DAT. Download that file to your PC.

    3) Open TROPUSR.DAT with Hex Editor Neo.

    4) Now, we need to figure out how many trophies does Yakuza 3 have:


    5) Next, we need to add a byte that we have 45 trophies generally unlocked.



    6) Now, we need to add FF and two zero bytes (meaning 100%) below the 45 byte that you have just inserted.



    7) This is the final step. Now, you just need to unlock every trophy by adding 01 00 01 10 to every trophy ID’s in the file.



    To understand what I have exactly inserted, go to Tool in Hex Editor Neo -> File Comparison -> Compare Files. Put two TROPUSR.DAT (0% and 100%) in the dialogs and change the comparison method to ‘Difference algorithm’ and click Ok. Now, you will be able to see what I have edited. This will help you understand easier. Good luck!

    And, oh, when you view a trophy info on XMB with the hacked TROPUSR.DAT, you will see something like ‘Earned – ‘. That’s because I didn’t add timestamps. At the moment, I don’t know how to add one… because I’m not 100% sure which bytes are responsible for that. Here’s an example of some legit trophy I’ve unlocked:



    PS3 Timestamp Generator tool that allows you to generate timestamps for all of your hacked PlayStation 3 Trophies making you look more legit ever than before.

    Download: PS3 Timestamp Generator v1

    Note – I haven’t tested this on a different platform yet. This was compiled with VS2010 (C#) and .NET Framework 3.5. So, please report me any bug you may have encountered.

    Make sure you put correct numbers into the six text boxes, e.g.

    2009 20 02 02 49 35

    Don’t put one digits, illegal numbers or non-numeric characters,
    otherwise the program won’t generate for you.

    Once generated, copy the hex, open your TROPUSR.DAT with a hex editor and paste the hex underneath the line where it says a trophy ID. E.g:

    0x21e0: 00 00 00 1C 00 00 00 01 00 01 10 00 00 00 00 00
    0x21f0: 00 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX 00 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX

    (1c is a trophy ID)

    So paste your hex into these XXs (the first timestamp). Re-save it, overwrite it over your game’s old TROPUSR.DAT via the FTP manager. Boot the game and ta-da!

    (Note- each trophy ID has two separated timestamps, so I recommend using a newer hex (increased date/time) for the second timestamp.)
