What you need to know

U.S. Senators are introducing a new COVID-19 data privacy bill.
It comes from the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
It hopes to strike a balance between using technology to fight the virus and maintaining the privacy of U.S. citizens.

U.S. Senators from the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation have introduced a new COVID-19 privacy bill designed to protect the privacy of U.S. Citizens.

In a press release April 30 the committee announced the billed stating:

U.S. Sens. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, John Thune, R-S.D, chairman of the Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation, and the Internet, Jerry Moran, R-Kan., chairman of the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance and Data Security, and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., today announced plans to introduc…

Sports fans have had it hard during these past weeks of lockdown with just about every major event in the calendar seemingly postponed or cancelled. Among the casualties is the 146th Kentucky Derby, which had been due to take place this Saturday, but has now been postponed until September 5.

While horse racing fans won’t be able to descend upon Churchill Downs this weekend – some technical ingenuity means the iconic racetrack is still set to host a replacement event.

The Virtual Kentucky Derby takes the form of a computer-simulated race, with sports fans encouraged to take part in nationwide at-home Derby parties to help raise money for COVID-19 emergency relief funds – read on for our full guide to watching the event online.

The virtual version of the world famous race is being put together by Inspired Entertainment, a firm who last month recreated the UK’s prestigious Aintree Grand National which proved a big hit with sports-starved racing fans who tuned in live in their millio…

Best answer: We don’t know. If past Ubisoft games provide precedent, however, there will likely be cosmetic microtransactions of some kind.

Does Assassin’s Creed Valhalla have microtransactions?

Much like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in 2018, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a massive single-player role-playing game (RPG). Assassin’s Creed Odyssey still had microtransactions, which took the form of Helix Credits that could be used to purchase different cosmetic skins and booster packs. The booster packs allowed you to progress quicker, which could make it easier to finish the game.

Right now, we don’t know if Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will have any microtransactions. That said, it seems very likely that there will be at least some extras you can fork over cash on to deck out Eivor and your village, even if they aren’t as egregious as th…

With the reveal of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, there’s plenty of different special and limited editions of the game from which to choose. It can get a bit confusing keeping everything straight. Fortunately, we’ve put together a guide to keep things simple.

Different versions of the game

Easy to find extras: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Gold Steelbook Edition ($110 at Best Buy)
Only at GameStop: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Ultimate Steelbook Edition ($130 at GameStop)
Specialty in every way: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Collector’s Edition ($200 at Ubisoft)

Every Assassin’s Creed Valhalla special edition

There are a few different special editions to go through here. To start, it’s worth noting that any preorder of any version, even the Standard Edition, grants a bonus mission called The Way of the Berserker. The other versions of the game, however, have plenty of goodies, both digital and physical. Finally, it goes without saying that the digital versions of any special editions won’t in…

Getting a second-hand phone doesn’t have to be overly complicated or stressful.

Over the last few years, the cost of smartphones has skyrocketed. It’s no longer uncommon to see phones being sold for $1,000 or more, making the decision to buy a new handset quite the investment. Thanks to the ever-growing used smartphone market, though, it’s rather easy to take the sting out of those increasing prices.

The used marketplace is a great way to save some cash on your next phone purchase, and if you have old devices lying around that you aren’t using anymore, selling them allows someone else to use it while simultaneously putting extra money in your pocket.

Things to consider before you buy a used phone

We’ve already talked about the principles of selling your phone, and you can keep all of those in mind as you go to buy a used phone. Go through the same sort of checklist — factory reset, SIM unlock status, original accessories, damage, sales history — to decide if the phone …

Streaming services have grown in popularity over the past few years, and there are now more options than there ever has been before.

Whether you’re looking for a …

Google Wifi isn’t a bad looking router (or three) on its own, and it’s pretty easy to stick it anywhere in your house without offending anyone. However, every home is different and you might want something a little more elegant and organized than just plonking a node down on a window sill. Thanks to its popularity and the fact it’s a pretty simple shape, there are plenty of options out there for mounting the Google Wifi to a wall or even a ceiling.

Power up

If you want your router flush with your power plug, this mount is for you. You can wrap and hide the power cable around the inside of the mount so it isn’t seen, and the weight of the router is easily supported by the power plug and your wall. Finally, there’s an opening at the bottom for plugging in an Ethernet cable.
