The program is being run with security platform HackerOne. The official site categorises issues into ‘PlayStation Network’ and ‘PlayStation 4’ with rewards ranging from $100 and up. Bounties start at $50,000 for some critical issues. Apple famously has a similar program that encourages amateur and professional bug hunters to report flaws to the company for monetary reward. Given Sony unveiled the PS5 recently, the company will be hoping that its next-gen console launches with as little disruption as possible....

Sony Xperia XA Ultra UK release date: When is the Sony Xperia XA Ultra coming out? Sony Xperia XA Ultra release date: July 2016 For now Sony has only confirmed that it plans to begin a global launch of the Xperia XA Ultra in July, with no comment on an exact date. As soon as we know more we shall update this article. When it arrives the Sony Xperia XA will join the Xperia X and XA that were unveiled at MWC, when many had hoped to instead see an Xperia Z6....

Fortunately, there’s a lot more here to get excited about than a name. Sony’s flagships are finally looking a lot more like the competition thanks to an ‘Ambient Flow’ design language, which is all about breaking up the straight lines and blocky housings that have dominated recent Sony devices. We have previously suggested they were getting a bit old-hat. The XZ2 boasts 3D curved glass (with Gorilla Glass 5) on both the front and back of the phone – a subtle curvature at the edges of front, and a more noticeable bulge on the back – while the less glossy Compact has a hard-coated polycarbonate finish on the rear....

The film is out in the UK now (order tickets from Cineworld, Odeon, or Vue) and arrived in the US on 14 December (order tickets from Fandango or Atom Tickets), but read on to find out what we think of it. You can also check out the latest trailers for the film, or find out whether there’s anything waiting after the end credits. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse review The repeated reboots of Spider-Man have become a bit of a running joke over the last few years, so you’d be forgiven for a bit of reluctance to watch yet another Spider-Man hit the big screen – not least since Tom Holland is still playing the character in the MCU’s Spider-Man and Avengers movies, including next year’s Avengers 4....

That’s the conclusion of SplashData, a maker of password management software that every year compiles a list of the top 25 most common passwords. While the list itself hasn’t changed much over the last few years, the company notes that only 2.2 percent of passwords now come from that list. “While still frightening, that’s the lowest percentage of people using the most common passwords I have seen in recent studies,” security expert Mark Burnett said in SplashData’s press release....

On what was initially thought to be an ‘off’ year, E3 2018 has been anything but. We’ve put together our top 10 games shown at E3 this year, which was no easy task as we’ve been spoiled for choice with what has been on display. Without further ado, lets dive in.

Announced at MWC 2018 in February, the phone is made with 3D curved glass, an always-on fingerprint sensor, IP68 waterproofing and a significantly nicer design than previous models. You can find out more about it in our Xperia XZ2 review, and see what we thought of its smaller cousin in the XZ2 Compact review. The XZ2 is priced at £699 SIM-free, with the Compact version at £529, and we couldn’t find it any cheaper than that yet....

Unfortunately, it’s highly unlikely that we’ll see HBO Max land in the UK – or at least not for a long while. Some of the content may be syndicated via the likes of Sky, but there are things that remain exclusive to HBO Max. However, even if you’re not in the US, you should still be able to watch HBO Max through the help of a VPN. VPNs (virtual private networks) assign you a new IP address, which allows you to surf the web as if you’re from another country....

Es aquí donde entre The Witcher: El origen de la sangre, una precuela del original The Witcher que nos hará viajar (muy) al pasado, concretamente 1200 antes de que tenga lugar la trama de la serie original. Nos adentraremos entonces en el mundo élfico. Esta es la sinopsis oficial que ha anticipado Netflix: “Todo cuento tiene un principio. Descubre la historia jamás contada del Continente en la nueva serie The Witcher: El origen de la sangre....

The company suggested the strong steps were necessary to preserve the rest of the company. The New York-based public company slashed 40 positions from its workforce in a cutback that affected all locations and departments. The company said it is shutting down its sister operation in the UK because it will run out of funds at the end of the year, and neither TheStreet.com nor investors in the UK site were willing to give it more money....

This isn’t the first laptop we’ve seen with a 4K screen but it is the first to come with a convertible design. Toshiba claims it’s the ‘world’s first 12.5in Ultra HD 4K convertible’ which may not be too difficult considering the how specific that is. See also: Lenovo Ideapad Miix 700 review. Nevertheless, the Radius 12 will launch in the fourth quarter of the year so may arrive in time for Christmas....

As with its mixed-bag predecessors, you play as the despotic (to varying degrees, depending on your playstyle) rule of the titular Caribbean island, striving to slowly upgrade a two-horse town into a thriving and extremely lucrative metropolis. Build houses of assorted quality, construct mines and factories, try to keep everyone healthy and educated enough to expand your population and bring in more profitable industries and a booming tourist trade: it’s a classical formula, and it’s certainly not worn out yet....

This phone comes with features like a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 5-megapixel camera, 8 GB inbuilt memory, and 1 GB RAM. It was released with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS and had dual Sim functionality. Its specs have a similar resemblance to the famous Galaxy S2 while its design is somewhat like Galaxy S3. With such good specs and much better hardware compatibility, it is possible for this device to easily handle the newly launched Android versions....

As part of ViewSonic’s VS range, the ‘entertaiment’ clause may be a useful get-out, since we found this display ill-equipped for use as a computer monitor. While it does use a 3840 x 2160-pixel panel, its refresh rate is limited to 30 Hz, where computer monitors operate at 60 Hz or higher. At the low 30 Hz frequency, you may see ghosts of movement on the screen, such as trails behind the mouse cursor....

Here is the free solution to Mirror iPhone Screen to Windows using AirPlay without moving the files or installing any additional app on your iPhone/iPad. Step 1. Make Sure Both Devices Are In the Same Network As AirPlay Mirroring was available from iOS 5, you should be able to cast your iPhone to Windows, even if you are having an older model of iPhone. If you have subscribed to a carrier-based mobile data plan, and your mobile is on data, then there is a good chance that your iPhone is connected to that network and your computer to the home Wi-Fi network....

And while this sounds like it’s pulled from the pages of a Sci-Fi novel, neural lace could be the next advancement in the field of AI. See also: 10 Elon Musk ideas that aren’t so crazy. What is neural lace? At its most basic form, neural lace is an ultra-thin mesh that can be implanted in the skull, forming a collection of electrodes capable of monitoring brain function. It creates an interface between the brain and the machine....

In order to stay impartial, we’ve also done a similar comparison on our sister site Macworld UK, looking at why you should get the iPhone 6s instead. Do check that article out before flaming us in the comments! This article is also written by someone who uses both Android and iOS on a daily basis. Why the LG G5 is better than iPhone: Removable battery and modular design The LG G5 has a removable base which reveals its removable battery....

All deciduous trees in the Western world are affected, according to the study by a group of institutions, including the TU Delft University and Wageningen University. The city of Alphen aan den Rijn ordered the study five years ago after officials found unexplained abnormalities on trees that couldn’t be ascribed to a virus or bacterial infection. Besides the electromagnetic fields created by mobile-phone networks and wireless LANs, ultrafine particles emitted by cars and trucks may also be to blame....

According to Steam’s monthly ‘Hardware and Software Survey’, Windows 11 accounts for just over 20% of all devices. That’s an increase of 0.6% compared to the previous month, with Windows 10 continuing to grow from its lofty 76% market share. People who download Steam might not be representative of the general population, given its focus on video games. But a more general report from AdDuplex paints a similar picture. Its latest figures from April 2022 suggest 20....
