'Ghost Recon Wildlands' adds a hardcore permadeath mode

Image
Ubisoft isn't just relying on cameos from aliens and iconic game characters to inject extra life into Ghost Recon Wildlands . When the Special Operation 2 pack arrives on July 24th, it'll include a Ghost Mode that adds some high-stakes realism. For one, death is permanent -- if your character falls in battle and isn't revived in time, all your hard work will amount to nothing. Friendly fire is also a real risk. And you'll want to be conservative with your shots, since you'll only have one primary weapon (you have to swap at ammo boxes or when looting) and will lose any unspent ammo in a given clip when you reload. If regular Wildlands seemed too soft, you won't have that problem from now on. The mode is available for every difficulty setting and will be available to everyone for free, although Year 2 Pass holders will get first crack.

NASA and the UAE will team up for human spaceflight

Image
The UAE is the latest country to sign a deal with NASA to cooperate on human spaceflight. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted about the joint letter of intent today, which was also signed by Dr. Mohammed Al Ahbabi, the director general of the UAE Space Agency. While there are no details about what the agreement entails, presumably UAE astronauts will be eligible for spots on NASA's crewed missions. This morning I met with the Director General of the @UAESpaceAgency , HE Dr. Mohammed Al Ahbabi. We signed a joint letter of intent for cooperation in human space flight. I look forward to working with @DrAlahbabi to further humanity's exploration of space. pic.twitter.com/LJfBoilO6q — Jim Bridenstine (@JimBridenstine) July 18, 2018 The UAE is currently in the process of selecting its first group of astronauts.

Rainn Wilson's character Harry Mudd will be featured in one, Aldis Hodge as Craft in another, while the other two follow characters Saru and Tilly.

'GTA: Online' goes clubbin' next week with 'After Hours'

Image
A little bit of Liberty City is coming to GTA: Online very, very soon. "Gay" Tony Prince , first seen in Grand Theft Auto IV 's "The Ballad of Gay Tony" expansion from 2009 , is opening up a nightclub in Los Santos and needs your help. "A perfect cover for all illicit activities, Nightclubs can be customized, staffed and promoted, offering players a brand new business opportunity," Rockstar teased last month . Judging by the trailer, the main mission in "After Hours" is securing a DJ for Prince's latest venture. "Run your nightclub busine ss from setup, design, staffing and promotion; the more popular the nightclub, the faster your secure safe will fill up," Rockstar promised. Oh, and the DJs you're trying to lock down? You may have heard of them before: The Black Madonna, Solomun and Tale of Us all appear

Smart record presses promise consistent audio quality at a global scale

Image
The manufacturer of what's one of the best sounding record pressing machines today is taking a step into the future. Viryl Technologies recently announced its WarmTone and LiteTone models will soon connect to the internet. After a test pressing is complete, an engineer will upload the press' settings to the cloud. The promise is two records that sound near-identical regardless if one was made in America and another in Germany. That consistency is important, as the sound qu ality and audio characteristics can vary wildly from record to record, plant to plant and pressing to pressing. Every one of its 40ish machines across the globe will operate from the same data for each album. Essentially, it's a global test pressing, available everywhere simultaneously. The tech is called PhonoHive . Labels will submit their record orders online, picking how many, w

Wearable gauges fitness through stress hormones in your sweat

Image
Cortisol (best known as the stress hormone) is handy for tracking your athletic performance and even spotting signs of disease, since it reflects how well your adrenal or pituitary glands are working. But there's a problem: measuring that often takes several days of lab work, by which point the info is no longer relevant. Scientists might have a much better option. They've developed a flexible, wearable s weat sensor (not shown here) that tracks cortisol levels with results in seconds -- that is, while it's at its most useful. It sounds straightforward, but the team had to overcome a major obstacle common to most biological sensors. A typical sensor looks for the positive or negative charge in molecules, but that's not really an option with a chargeless substance like cortisol. The researchers tackled this with a membrane that binds only to cort

Senate gives up on ZTE sanctions

Image
Though a number of US senators have been seeking to block President Trump's deal with ZTE that lets the Chinese firm circumvent sanctions put into place by US officials earlier this year, they have now backed off on that effort. In June, the Senate passed a version of the National Defense Authorization Act that reinstated sanctions against ZTE and would effectively nullify the president's and Commerce Department's deal with the firm. However, the House of Representatives passed a version of the bill without such language and the two chambers have been working on a compromise bill that marries each of their versions. Senators have now decided to abandon the ZTE sanctions in exchange for more oversight for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS). Earlier this year, the US banned ZTE from working with US companies after the firm shipped US-made
