According to a recent YouTube video by Everything Android, a new tool called APatchLite provides a much quicker and shorter approach to rooting your Android device. This new tool simplifies the procedure, particularly for people who are rooting their phones for the first time.

The video author was able to install the software and root his phone in just 3 minutes, as opposed to the previous lengthy process. While the software has received little feedback due to its recent launch, it is an open-source project built on KernelSU that is accessible for download on GitHub. 

How to Root Your Phone Using APatchLite?

Before you see the steps, if you’re new to rooting entirely then there are other things you need to do before following this procedure. This guide assumes you’re aware of the basics and have already extracted your boot.img, along with having installed a custom recovery like TWRP.

1. Make sure the option to install apps from unknown sources in enabled in Settings. This will be different depending on what you use to download the APK.
   

   

2. Download APatchLite as an APK from GitHub.
3. Tap on it to install it, allow all necessary permissions if it asks.
4. Open the app after installation where you will see the option “Patch.”
   

   

5. Find the boot.img file in your phone and tap on it. The example picture is using a MIUI-based custom ROM which has its boot image in the Documents folder:
   

   

   Wait for the patch to be complete. Before the next steps, make sure your APatchLite is properly Installed!
6. Now go to your custom recovery and tap on Install.
   

   

7. Select Downloads from the list.
   

   

8. Tap on Install Image in the bottom-right.
   

   

9. Select partition as Boot, and Swipe to confirm flash.
   

   

   Select Boot as the partition
10. After a few seconds the flash will be successful.
    

    

11. Reboot your device and enjoy.

After following the above-given directions, you will easily be able to grant root access to apps that require them. You can install apps like “MRepo” to grant root access and successfully use your rooted phone without any problem.

As seen by the steps, the process was really simple and straightforward. This new app is genuinely a marvelous feat after the lengthy process of Magisk and similar software. Do let us know what you think about APatchLite in the comments below.

The statement from ams OSRAM AG regarding the “cancellation of a key project” is included below; however, it is unclear whether this refers to the Apple Watch Ultra. The supplier’s stock price fell 40% shortly after the announcement, indicating that the majority of its anticipated income may have been dependent on the successful mass production of microLED panels.

“The Management Board of ams OSRAM AG has decided to re-assess the microLED strategy of the company after having been informed of the unexpected cancellation of a cornerstone project for its microLED program. Discussions with the related customer are ongoing.”

Display Supply Chain Consultants at Counterpoint Research later told MacRumors that the microLED Apple Watch Ultra’s cancellation may have been caused by the display technology’s high manufacturing costs and low production yields.

Cost Effectiveness

According to estimates, microLED panels are around three times more expensive than OLED panels. As such, it is improbable that the Apple Watch Ultra would have been offered for sale at the same price as its predecessor if it had been introduced with these more advanced panels.

In response to a question about the situation, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated today that the project has been canceled for the “foreseeable future.” According to the expert, the present prices of producing microLEDs are “too high” to make the idea “economically viable.”

“My latest survey indicates that Apple has canceled the Micro LED Apple Watch projects because Apple thinks that Micro LED can’t add significant value to this product, and the production costs are too high to make it economically viable,” Kuo stated.

Kuo claims that at the time of the project’s cancellation, ams OSRAM served as Apple’s sole supplier of LED chips. For the “foreseeable future,” Apple has “no plans” to mass-produce microLED products, according to the expert.

Kuo called the cancellation a “major setback” for Apple and said some staff members working on microLED development had been let go.

While Ming-Chi Kuo stated that the sole supplier for Apple’s MicroLED lineup was ams OSRAM, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman states this is wrong. In a replied tweet to MacRumors, Mark stated that ams OSRAM was “one” of the suppliers that had stopped these production plans but the project hasn’t been stopped as of yet.

There has been no official confirmation from Apple regarding these rumors, so take all of this with a grain of salt. Do let us know what you think about the cancellation in the comments below.

Xiaomi’s Background Music feature was a workaround to this restriction by YouTube and worked perfectly to play videos while your phone screen was off. However, it seems that the feature has been removed following a post from a User on r/PocoPhones. A lot of the comments also state similar problems and it has been suggested this was done due to compliance issues with YouTube

In case you forgot, YouTube is fighting adblockers. If the platform detects an attempt to block adverts, it will now prohibit users from playing videos. Additionally, YouTube has acknowledged that users of adblockers may encounter buffering or slow playback.

A YouTube Premium subscription is another perk that the Google-owned corporation is offering. Google may have forced Xiaomi into disabling the background streaming feature on all of their devices because of YouTube’s demands. Since all of Xiaomi’s smartphones are built on MIUI, this move will impact Poco devices as well as Mi and Redmi models.

OPPO Has Also Removed this Feature

Similarly, OPPO has also stated that all of its smartphones will have the background stream capability disabled with future over-the-air upgrades.

The news broke on OPPO’s Community, where the company said that in order to comply with regulations, they will be removing the Smart Sidebar’s background stream feature. All devices will be updated immediately.

OPPO has no plans to roll out a new update that disables the feature. Rather, the company will fix the same feature over time through over-the-air upgrades. Users have also received an apology from OPPO for the trouble this has created.

Even though neither Google nor YouTube have spoken out about it, OPPO’s claim that it deleted the feature to comply with regulations implies that it was pressured by outside sources to do so. Lately, YouTube has also been very stringent in enforcing its TOS.

How to Fix this Problem?

Not all users are willing to pay a monthly subscription amount to Google for removing ads and enabling background video playback. Thankfully, there are a few solutions still present that do the work. We have listed them below and you can use these services to still access these features without paying a premium fee.

• YouTube Revanced
• GrayJay App
• Brave Browser

Some users have also shared a solution (For Xiaomi Phones Only). This might work for other brands but try it in your own risk.

• Uninstall Security App Updates
• Go to Settings
• Go to System Apps
• Disable Security Updates by pressing “ignore“

This solution might do the work for you, atleast until YouTube enforces it some other way.

This is all we know for now. Do let us know what you think about these restrictions in the comments below.

Rumors regarding the debut of the GEMS Hip tend to fade and reappear year after year, but the device has not yet become a commercial reality. According to previous reports, Samsung rebranded the GEMS Hip wearable robot as Bot Fit.

All things considered, it’s probably best to treat all of this new information regarding the so-called Bot Fit with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, according to recent Korean reports (as reported by ETNews), Samsung is planning to produce a first run of less than 100,000 Bot Fit units, with manufacturing set to begin in the middle of 2024.

According to this latest claim, Samsung finished developing the Bot Fit in 2023. Rumor has it that the business plans to reveal or market the assistive robot in the fourth quarter of 2024 after pushing Bot Fit into mass production in the second or third quarter of 2023.

The initial batch of 100,000 Bot Fits isn’t a lot, but it’s double what the Korean media said in 2022—that is, 50,000 GEMS Hips—in the initial batch. Needless to say, Samsung’s claimed intentions for GEMS Hip in 2022 did not come into effect.

Galaxy Ring and Samsung’s Upcoming XR Headset Also Rumored to Arrive in Late 2024

The wearable robot’s future is obviously out in the air, but with Samsung preparing to expand into new product categories with the Galaxy Ring and an unreleased XR headset, the GEMS Hip / Bot Fit rumors appear to be gaining momentum again. Time will tell if this so-called wearable robot will enter mass production over the next six months, but nothing appears to be set in stone yet, as usual.

According to rumors and reports, the number of improvements and new front-facing features that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are expected to offer is making them seem like a significant upgrade. Using the tetraprism camera, rumor has it that the iPhone 16 Pro will include a 5x optical zoom lens.

For those who are unaware, the iPhone 15 Pro Max also has a tetraprism lens, allowing it to achieve 5x optical zoom. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro, which is smaller, lacks the same zoom capability and therefore widens the gap between the Pro Max and the other models in terms of the camera.

Benefits of a Larger Frame

With the iPhone 16 Pro’s somewhat larger appearance, Apple seems to be merging the features of the two models. Users whose primary concern is the camera will have good reason to choose the smaller variant of the iPhone 16 Pro since Apple will be able to accommodate a tetraprism lens in it thanks to the larger body.

As part of a press release addressing the camera lens industry, the Taiwanese research firm TrendForce released the news. Up until now, the iPhone 15 Pro has been limited to 3x optical zoom, just as the iPhone 14 Pro models. This limitation will be lifted with the release of the iPhone 16 Pro.

Following the successful launch of the iPhone 15 Pro Max with its exclusive Tetraprism telephoto zoom lens, the industry is expected to see an increase in the adoption of periscopic lens modules. Apple plans to bring this advanced hardware upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro, making it accessible to more users in the Pro series.

TrendForce

An increase in the use of periscope lenses is anticipated by the smartphone camera sector, according to the report. On smaller flagships, such as the Galaxy S24 and Pixel 8, competitors will likely follow Apple’s lead and improve optical zoom capabilities as the technology advances.

Previous reports have indicated that Apple is expected to boost the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches. Because of this, the device’s total size will be larger to accommodate the tetraprism lens. Whether Apple intends to provide further features that differentiate the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max is an open question.

How Do I Get a Jetpack?

A jetpack, termed “Boost Pack” in the game, can be earned early into the game. However if you’re someone who has to explore the game first without bothering the main story, you can get one that way too. At any rate, here are the easiest ways to get a jetpack:

1. Complete the One Small Step mission in the main story.
2. Loot corpses in hopes of finding one.

Since the loot drops are randomized, you may or may not end up finding a jetpack early. Therefore, it’s best to just complete the main mission and move on.

How To Use a Jetpack

Although you’ve got a jetpack, you still can’t use it as is. To use a jetpack, you need to have unlocked the Boost Pack Training skill. This skill is unlocked by default for those who chose any 1 of these 2 backgrounds: Soldier or Bounty Hunter. For those who chose another class, they can unlock the skill by following the steps below:

1. Unlocking the Boost Pack Training skill

1. First off, navigate to the Skills menu in the Pause Menu.
   

   

2. Now, head on over to the Tech section.
   

   

3. The Boost Pack Training should be a skill with a jetpack icon. Select it.
   

   

4. The skill should cost only 1 skill point. Unlock it and return to the game.
   

   

Boost Pack Training has 4 levels, and each level unlocks more perks for jetpacks. However, we only need to unlock the first level to be able to use a jetpack.

2. Equipping the jetpack

After you’ve unlocked the Boost Pack Training skill, you’ll need to equip your jetpack in order to use it. Here’s how you can do this:

3. Using the jetpack

Finally, you can move around on planets faster and more easily using the jetpack. To use it, simply double-press the jump key, and hold down the key on the second press depending on how long you want to be afloat for. Depending on the platform, this key can be:

• PC: Spacebar is set as the default key, but it can be changed.
• Xbox: Y on the Xbox controller

Each jetpack has a fuel capacity that drains readily when the jetpack is activated, although it does replenish automatically over time and does not require any other resource or material. However, each jetpack has its own capacity and capabilities. The advanced ranks of the Boost Pack training skill also determine the capabilities of your jetpack.

Conclusion

Starfield is game where you’re going to visit a large number of planets. This means that you’ll encounter worlds that have different gravity levels and different weather conditions. So, making sure that your gear and supplies are in order is essential.

A jetpack is an integral part of your gear and without it, traversing gravity-intensive planets would be really hard. Therefore, make sure to upgrade the Boost Pack Training skill and get the best possible jetpack.

Either way, you’ll need to have a pyramid on hand, which has a clear view of the sky, waiting for your beacon. Let’s discuss how you can go about setting up this pyramid.

What is a Beacon?

A beacon is a block in Minecraft that can grant you certain buffs in a limited area range. Beacons are notoriously hard to craft, mainly due to how troublesome it is to procure the Nether Star, one of its key components.

A beacon needs to be placed atop a pyramid, else it won’t work. Moreover, you can place up to 6 beacons atop a single pyramid. Since crafting a pyramid requires a lot of resources, it’d be great if you could get a clear idea of how many resources you need.

READ MORE: How to Craft & Use A Minecraft Beacon [Ultimate Guide] ➜

What Blocks Do You Need for the Pyramid?

Before setting off to gather the required materials, you should know exactly what you’re looking for. You’ll need a huge amount of the following materials:

1. Iron
2. Gold
3. Diamond
4. Emerald
5. Netherite

Ultimately, it’ll be up to you to decide what kind of pyramid you build and whether you decide to use only 1 kind of material from these, or use different amounts of each material.

Where Can I Find These Materials?

Since you’ll be requiring these materials in large amounts, here are the best ways to acquire them. Make sure to use a pickaxe of high durability i.e. diamond pickaxe. Activating a buff like Fortune can also reduce the time you spend gathering these materials.

1. Iron

Iron is the most common material that you can use to upgrade your gear in Minecraft. Simple dig underground until you reach the deep slate layer and you’ll find plenty of iron waiting to be mined.

2. Gold

Gold is a pretty versatile material and can be used to upgrade armor and gear, as well as a form of currency. While it is a bit rare, it tends to spawn abundantly in specific locations. The best way to mine for gold is to use a Potion of Night Vision and head on over to the stone layer canyons in the Mesa biome/Badlands. Use the potion and mine your way through the stone layers in the canyon.

READ MORE: How To Make A Brewing Stand in Minecraft [2024 Guide] ➜

3. Diamond

Diamond is the most durable material in Minecraft, second only to netherite. Naturally, you’ll assume that diamonds might be very rare. But actually, they are pretty easy to find; deep underwater in the aquifier caves.

4. Emerald

Emerald is a rare material and it’s difficult to obtain it in large amounts. The 2 best ways to get emeralds are:

1. Trade with villagers
2. Mining on top of tall mountains (Stone Peaks, Jagged Peaks, Snowy Peaks)

Trading is simple enough; you’ll have to bring the required item to the villager and they’ll give you an emerald. However, if you’re mining, make sure you have the Silk Touch enchantment activated, so that the emerald blocks directly drop an emerald instead of the usual emerald ore.

5. Netherite

Netherite is most durable material in all of Minecraft. It is extremely hard to obtain to, as it is exclusive to the Nether. There are a few other places where you may find some, but they aren’t sustainable sources. To mine Netherite, you’ll need a Diamond Pickaxe, as mining without it will not yield any netherite at all. Furthermore, netherite is obtained from Ancient Debris blocks found underground in the Nether.

Blocks Required for the Pyramid

Here is a concise table showing how much you’ll need for a single beacon pyramid.

And here’s another concise table showing how much you’ll need for a 6 beacon pyramid.

Which Material is The Best For Making The Pyramid?

While the beacon’s power is only affected by how many layers you decide to create, many wonder whether the material you’re using makes a difference. for example; is there any benefit of using netherite over iron? Or whether it’s best to build a pyramid comprising of 1 material only or of multiple materials?

Well, the answer is simple; no, it does not matter what kind of material you use to construct the pyramid. Whether you decide to build the whole pyramid out of one material, or of multiple materials, it won’t affect the beacon’s abilities in the slightest. However, if you want your pyramid, and subsequently, your beacon to remain intact in case of attacks, consider using durable materials like Netherite or Diamond.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, you decide what and how much goes into the pyramid. So make sure that you select the right amount for the right materials. Getting that beacon running as soon as possible should be your priority, as you won’t be able to live without it once it’s up and running.

What are Repacked Games?

Repacked games, generally termed “repacks” are games that have been compressed for the purpose of installation for gaming PCs running Windows. They have a smaller size than the game they are compressing and come with a third-party installer application. Both these files are “packaged” into a repack by a repacker. They are free to download.

READ MORE: How to Play Any DRM-Protected WMA File [Easy Guide] ➜

Who are Repackers and How Do They Repack Games?

Repackers are developers that compress the game files using their own custom algorithms. Using these algorithms, they’re able to compress the game files to a great extent and simultaneously, make them compatible with the installer.

The installer is another custom application developed by the repacker. The size of the repack and the time it takes to install a game, depends on the repacker’s methods. Repackers distribute their repacks through private file hosting sites or through torrents. Some famous repackers are FitGirl and DODI.

Where Do These Repackers Get the Games?

Repackers get their game files from scene releases. Scene groups are a group of developers that work on bypassing a game’s anti-piracy protections or DRM (Digital Rights Management). Scene groups are private communities that work on pirating several kinds of digital media. They are exactly those hackers in the movies; able to crack nearly any software for their own needs and purposes.

Scene groups do not crack anything for the purpose of sharing with others; they do it for themselves. They don’t take any requests and don’t offer any updates on what they’re working on. However, since this is a group we’re talking about, some members share these cracks with the public through file hosting sites, although some of them may do so at a price.

Nevertheless, someone buys or obtains the scene release of the digital media and posts it in a piracy forum, where people may download it freely, or repackers can repack it and distribute it even further. Famous scene groups like CODEX and CPY were a bit public and dedicated to cracking games.

READ MORE: Starfield Reportedly Cracked by RUNE Ahead of Launch ➜

The Decline of Scenes and The Rise of Denuvo

There are different types of DRM protections available, but the most impenetrable is Denuvo. Over the past several years, several scene groups have been forced into retirement, and a few even arrested, for trying to bypass Denuvo. Compared to the other DRMs, which are cracked by scene groups in mere hours after a game’s release, Denuvo is completely different.

How Denuvo works is beyond the scope of this article, and honestly, only something scene groups can hope to understand. Games that are protected by Denuvo are rarely cracked at all; in fact, a large amount of them remain uncracked. This is because Denuvo regularly updates its protection and is even known to offer jobs to scene group members who’ve successful in bypassing their protection.

Sometimes, developers e.g. CAPCOM may remove Denuvo from a game after a certain amount of time, after which the scenes will promptly proceed to do their job. In some cases, an update release for a game forgets to implement Denuvo, and scene groups take advantage of the mistake, as was the case with Gotham Knights. Presently, only 2 or 3 people can crack Denuvo, of whom we’re aware of, at least.

The most famous of them is EMPRESS, but recently even they have gone radio silent ever since a rumor went around that Denuvo had figured out how EMPRESS was doing it. Even before these recent events, EMPRESS would take a paid request for only 1 Denuvo game per month. As for when the game would release, that would be up to them. Nevertheless, things are looking bleak for the future of pirated games.

READ MORE: How to Remove Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services ➜

Why is Denuvo Not Used on Every Game?

The question you might be asking right now must be; if Denuvo is so good at its job, why doesn’t every game use it? Well, that’s because Denuvo comes with 2 big disadvantages; games with Denuvo have reduced performance, and that it’s expensive.

1. Denuvo Reduces Performance

While Denuvo itself denies this claim, it has been proven by many in the gaming community, and even been silently accepted by several game studios.

A famous example of this is when Resident Evil: Village forgot to implement Denuvo on an update release and the game became vulnerable for a few hours. By the time, the issue was resolved, the damage had been done. Several hours later, comparisons on forums and YouTube began popping up showing the remarkable difference in performance between the Denuvo and Denuvo-less version of the game.

In more recent years, this happened with Rocksteady’s Gotham Knights. An example of how game studios have silently accepted that Denuvo reduces performance is by none other than one of the most awaited game release of this year; Bandai Namco’s TEKKEN 8. Although Bandai Namco opted for Denuvo in the case of TEKKEN 7, it was removed in 2021. But for TEKKEN 8, they did not opt for Denuvo at all.

Despite all the evidence, Denuvo claims that it does not hinder performance at all. In fact, they announced that they would allow “community-trusted third-parties” to conduct tests to compare the Denuvo and Denuvo-less versions of games. While this was announced back in July 2023, there has been no further word on this.

2. Denuvo is Expensive

Another reason why games don’t use Denuvo is because it’s expensive. Naturally, the best protection comes with a hefty price tag, one that would certainly be unfeasible for indie game developers. However, it all depends on the game studio whether they want to prevent their game from being pirated and reel in the maximum number of profits.

READ MORE: PS4 Jailbreak: Current Status & Everything to Know in 2024 ➜

Conclusion

Even though Denuvo is legal, many gamers and even some developers are against it. Regardless of whatever opinion you may hold on to repacked games, it’s an irrefutable fact that they are a form of pirated media, and therefore, are illegal. Hence, it’s best to stay on the right side of the law, and hope that Denuvo fixes its technology in future updates.

What are Trackers?

Nowadays, nearly every MMO game has several, or at least one, statistics tracker. These trackers allow you to view your account’s complete stats like the total amount of kills and deaths you have, your favorite weapons/item, your favorite map etc. Through these trackers you can usually get a good idea of how good you are at the game.

Trackers like these are mostly unofficial and developed by fans. But it’s not uncommon to see official trackers, like that of Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. Moreover, the tracker can also be an app-based overlay, or a simple website. While searching for trackers, Destiny 2 fans will have come across a website by the name “Time Wasted on Destiny“. Let’s take a closer look at its capabilities.

What is “Time Wasted on Destiny”?

Time Wasted on Destiny is a popular site amongst Destiny 2 fans for checking out their stats. It was originally introduced for the first Destiny game and has been around since then. Since it’s an old site, it has its own dedicated userbase, who’ve continued using it for the second Destiny game.

Features

Here are some of the stats displayed by Time Wasted on Destiny:

1. Total time played
2. Ranks for the current and past seasons
3. Your characters and the time spent playing them
4. How you spend the time in Destiny 2

How To Use Time Wasted on Destiny

Using Time Wasted on Destiny is pretty easy. Simply type your Bungie ID in the search bar and hit Search. The Bungie ID can be typed in both with or without numbers. If you’re entering the numbers, make sure to include the “#“. And since all you need is the Bungie ID, you can check out anyone’s profile and compare it to yours, no matter what platform they may game on.

Alternative: Destiny Tracker

As mentioned earlier, there may be several trackers for a game, and the same applies here. Destiny Tracker is a tracker developed by Tracker Network, a group known for exactly what their name suggests; developing trackers for different games. At any rate, Destiny Tracker provides a more detailed and in-depth view of your Destiny 2 profile. From your K/D ratio to your recently used guns, it knows all.

Using Destiny Tracker is identical to Time Wasted on Destiny; you just need to type in the Bungie ID and hit Search. However, you must use the numbers, otherwise it probably won’t load up the profile. Destiny Tracker is available for Android, iOS and Windows.

Which is Better: Time Wasted on Destiny or Destiny Tracker?

While the purpose of both trackers is the same, the presentation, quantity and analysis of the information they convey, varies greatly. Here’s a simplified breakdown of their advantages and disadvantages:
