No Man's Sky is back with Worlds Part II, expanding the universe in new ways as only games can. Hello Games, the studio behind No Man's Sky, has announced the release of its newest iteration and the billions of stars and trillions of planets added to its universe. In a statement about the release, Sean Murphy, founder of Hello Games, explained, "This allows us to push the boundaries of our engine and technology without changing the things people love about the game already. If you settled on your home planet with a beautiful base that you lovingly crafted, that is safe but now there are new worlds to explore with a level of variety no one has seen before." This shift includes the addition of Gas Giants, which Hello Games claims are up to 10 times bigger than any planets previously included in the game. The developers have also improved things under the sea, with better fishing and deep sea diving. Plus, the lighting should be better, with more detailed shadows, sharper sunlight and, of course, those shining starry skies. Hello Games also says Worlds Part II offers quests that connect existing storylines and mysteries. A lot of this development comes from work on Hello Game's new fantasy game Light No Fire.

NordVPN is known for developing its own VPN protocol, NordLynx, based on the popular and reliable WireGuard protocol. It also supports the tried-and-true OpenVPN protocol. Today, Nord Security is adding NordWhisper as its latest encryption offering. Some countries like China, India, Pakistan, and Russia prevent their citizens and visitors within their borders from using VPNs. Even if you visit these countries with a VPN app preinstalled, these governments have anti-VPN solutions to prevent you from using them. Thats where NordWhisper comes in. The company claims that instead of relying on standard obfuscation techniques, NordWhisper mimics regular internet traffic, which makes it harder for governments to tell if youre using a VPN, though its not foolproof. All VPN protocols introduce lag and latency, and Nord Security also mentioned that NordWhisper will likely be slower than other protocols due to its technology. Even so, the company has promised to make it smarter, faster, and more effective at its job. NordWhisper will gradually roll out to users, starting with the Windows, Android and Linux apps. The other apps will receive support at a later date, though Nord Security hasnt mentioned any specific days or timeframes.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/vpn/nordvpns-nordwhisper-protocol-can-get-around-vpn-blockers-162525626.html?src=rss

Do you constantly lose all of your stuff? No shame, but now might be a great time to invest in a few tracking devices. Luckily, a four-pack of Apple AirTags is on sale right now for $70 via Amazon. This is a record-low price and represents a 30 percent discount. It also breaks down to around $17.50 per tracker. Apple AirTags easily made our list of the best Bluetooth trackers, and this is especially true if you use an iPhone. The finding network is comprehensive and works just about anywhere. Just imagine all of those other Apple devices out there in the world helping to create this network. The end result? Youll likely find what youre looking for. These trackers can also use the ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless protocol, which gamifies finding lost objects. As long as the object is within 25 feet of your smartphone, the screen will display directional arrows and a distance meter. You use this data to zero in on the object, all without constantly ringing the AirTag. Of course, AirTags arent perfect. They are designed to work with iPhones and other Apple products, so Android users should keep scrolling. Also, the ringer only pings for seven seconds at a time. Sometimes thats enough to find a lost item, but not always. Finally, Apple decided to not include attachment points with these trackers, so they cant connect to a keychain or a related accessory. However, there are plenty of amazing accessories for AirTags that get the job done.
