Looks like Cyberpunk 2077 got kicked off the cool kid's table. A Vimeo account that hosts Xbox Series X promotional material is being shared online after it was discovered to contain unused advertisements for the console. The adverts are seemingly finished and ready to go out, and it is unknown why they didn’t get used in the run-up to the Series X’s release last November. In the Reddit post sharing the Vimeo links, users theorize that they want unused due to two of the games featured getting delayed: Halo Infinite, and Cyberpunk 2077. While Halo still did feature in the final advertising, Cyberpunk was indeed dropped, and the other two games in the and (Destiny and Assassin's Creed Valhalla) were ready to go from day one of the console’s release. However, the advert was uploaded to Vimeo after the console’s release, December 4. It’s possible this could still be used once the games featured are released, complete with a next gen upgrade. Other clips found on the Vimeo account are much shorter, with ambient shots of Cyberpunk and Halo’s settings playing on a loop, overlaid with text reading “A Vision of the Future” and “Dream of Better in Every Way”…

Robinhood; Samantha Lee/Insider I opened brokerage accounts with three trading apps this week and compared the experience of using each. Robinhood by far has the best looking app. But if you want more resources to help you make investing decisions, use WeBull. Robinhood launched in 2013 and is now seeking to go public. WeBull and Public both launched in 2017. See more stories on Insider's business page. Robinhood launched in 2013 and quickly gripped new and young investors wanting to try their hands at retail trading. The trading app, which is seeking to go public with a valuation as high as $30 billion, had about 13 million users at the end of 2020. But the app came under intense scrutiny from lawmakers, regulators, and customers after it halted trading of GameStop as retail traders drove up the stock price to all-time highs in January. Some have said the app makes investing too much like a game,  » Read More

The play, ‘Lakshadeepam’, will be staged on Clubhouse by Kanal Samskarika Vedhi on May 30 Clubhouse is taking over social media in a big way. The invitation-only, audio-only app is emerging as a popular space to host events, discussions and more ever since it had a beta launch for Android early this month. A group of theatrepersons in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is all set to host a play on the platform on May 30.“This is perhaps be the first Malayalam play to be staged on Clubhouse. The app allows participation of up to 5,000 people, which is a big audience for a play. The ongoing tussle between the Government and social media platforms has seen more people flocking to Clubhouse. There have been events on the app that has had participation of 4,000 members. We did a rehearsal and the result was encouraging. It is like a radio play,” says Hazim Amaravila of Thiruvananthapuram-based Kanal Samskarika Vedhi that is presenting the play.The drama, Lakshadeepam, written and directed by Hazim, is based around the current controversy over the Union Territory of Lakshadweep following a slew of reforms announced by newly-appointed Administrator Praful Patel.  » Read More

Good communication is about delivering the right message to the right people at the right time, according to social media analyst, Stephen O'Leary, MD with Olytico. "If a message is urgent, messaging apps can often help deliver it in the quickest way possible. Messaging apps can be a great medium for group discussions – anyone in a good WhatsApp can attest to that." Clinical psychotherapist, Stephanie Regan, works with employers and she believes social apps should be kept for social chit chat and fun- even if it's a work group. "That boundary will be wildly more important now." The security of our data is also wildly more important now, having come into focus following the cyber security attack on the HSE. Mr O'Leary said the question of security surrounding the use of instant messaging apps like WhatsApp is less about the app, and more about the…
