Instagram rewards Jaipur student with Rs 38 lakh for finding a bug

by Hansraj Agrawal | Sep 19, 2022 | Technology

A student, Neeraj Sharma from Jaipur, has received a reward of Rs 38 lakh from Instagram for saving social media accounts of crores of people from being hacked.

As per information, Sharma found a bug in Instagram due to which thumbnails could be changed in any user’s account without login and password.

Sharma apprised Instagram and Facebook about this mistake and after finding it authentic, he was rewarded with Rs 38 lakh for this work.

He said, ‘There was a bug in Facebook’s Instagram, through which the thumbnail of the reel could have been changed from any account. All it required was the media ID of the account to change it no matter how strong the password of the account holder is.

‘In December last year, I started finding fault with my Instagram account. After a lot of hard work, on the morning of January 31, I came to know about the (bug) mistake of Instagram. After this, I sent a report to Facebook about this mistake on Instagram at night and received a reply from them after three days. It asked me to share a demo,’ he said.

Sharma showed them in 5 minutes by changing the thumbnail. They approved his report and on the night of May 11, he got a mail from Facebook in which they informed him that he ahs been given a reward of $ 45,000 (about Rs 35 lakh). At the same time, in lieu of the delay of four months in giving the reward, Facebook also gave $ 4500 (about Rs 3 lakh) as a bonus.

Fortnite’s season four brings chrome-powered abilities, Spider-Gwen

by Hansraj Agrawal | Sep 19, 2022 | Technology

Fortnite’s season four of chapter three will bring in a lot of new content to the video game, including chrome-powered abilities and Gwen from ‘Into the Spider-Verse’.

According to Engadget, a new substance called Chrome is taking over the island, and users can use it to their advantage to gain a jump on other players.

Users can throw Chrome vials on walls to pass through them and at their feet to turn themselves into a blob that is faster and immune to fire and fall damage.

As a Chrome blob, users also gain the ability to air dash, allowing them to close distance on enemies quickly, the report said.

Chrome has changed the island too. Users will find a new point of interest called the Herald’s Sanctum by the abandoned Sanctuary.

Other locations, such as Condo Canyon, now float in the air as they try to find safety from the substance. Smaller gameplay tweaks include a buff to sniper rifles.

The obvious highlight is Spider-Gwen, but there is also a nifty skater cat and what looks like a bear within a werewolf costume for players to unlock.

iPhone 14 Pro users complain of shaking camera in third-party apps

by Hansraj Agrawal | Sep 19, 2022 | Technology

With the smartphone producing blurry and shaking footage, tech giant Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro users report problems recording video in third-party apps with the camera.

According to AppleInsider, the tech giant’s update to the iPhone 14 Pro includes several camera changes, including a 48MP sensor and an Action Mode to generate smooth video.

However, it seems the third-party apps that use the camera are encountering issues with the new hardware, the report said.

Several users discovered that the camera module was shaking when in use in apps, including Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok.

The issue was causing video recorded using the camera within the apps to be unpublishable, due to the constant erratic movement.

Posts on social media, including Reddit claim there to be a lot of jitters, believed to be a shaking of the optical image stabilization (OIS) system.

In the case of the iPhone 14 Pro, the 48MP Main camera has Apple’s second-generation Sensor-Shift OIS, which physically moves the sensor, while the other uses an older and more conventional OIS system.

Some users claimed that they could see and hear the shaking and mechanical movement when they used the third-party app’s camera features.

In one video demonstrating the issue, the iPhone was slightly moving and generating a grinding noise.

It is unknown how many iPhones could be affected by the issue. AppleInsider tried, and failed, to reproduce the bug independently, the report said.

Samsung logs record chip market share, Intel at distant second: Report

by Hansraj Agrawal | Sep 19, 2022 | Technology

Samsung Electronics expanded its market share of the global semiconductor industry in the second quarter, maintaining its top spot, a research report showed on Monday.

Samsung’s chip revenue for the April-June period came in at a record quarterly high of $20.3 billion on the back of solid server demand, taking up 12.8 percent of the global total of $158.1 billion, according to research firm Omdia.

Samsung’s Q2 share was slightly up from the 12.5 per cent it logged the previous quarter, reports Yonhap news agency.

In the second quarter, Intel’s market share decreased to 9.4 per cent from 11.1 per cent the previous quarter.

The chipmaker reported $14.8 billion in revenue, down 16.6 per cent on-quarter.

Samsung and Intel have been locked in a fierce rivalry for many years.

In 2017, Samsung surpassed Intel as the world’s biggest chipmaker by revenue for the first time, and it maintained the spot for two years in a row.

Intel overtook Samsung in 2019 and remained at the top until 2020, before it was beaten by Samsung again last year.

Meanwhile, SK hynix ranked No. 3 with a 6.8 percent market share for the three months ending in June, followed by Qualcomm with 5.9 percent, Micron with 5.2 percent, Broadcom with 4.2 percent, Nvidia with 3.6 percent and MediaTek with 3.3 percent.

Seven out of the global top 10 semiconductor companies were American.

‘GTA 6’ gameplay leak suggests it might have male, female protagonist

by Hansraj Agrawal | Sep 19, 2022 | Technology

American video game publisher Rockstar Games’ next instalment of its ‘Grand Theft Auto’ series could easily be one of the most anticipated games and now a new purported leak has offered a sneak peek at its gameplay.

According to Tech Crunch, the trove of data, which PCGamer discovered via a GTAForums post by the alleged hacker themselves, contains some 90 videos of clips from the game, with debug code and interfaces running and helping back up the veracity of the claims.

The hacker, named ‘teapotuberhacker’ on GTAForums, has claimed that they got the video by gaining access to a Rockstar employee’s Slack account.

These leaks appear either legitimate, or fakes created with such a high degree of attention to detail and authenticity that they have won over what was initially a very sceptical GTAForums member audience.

Various clips from the leak depict both male and female protagonist characters, which does fit with other reports about what to expect in the forthcoming game.

They also show gameplay taking place in a Miami-analog fictional city; again matching early reports about what ‘GTA 6’ will bring to the franchise. It’s worth noting that these videos likely show an older build, which some indication they could be from around 2017, reported Tech Crunch.

Reportedly, ‘GTA 6’ has been under development since 2014 hence it’s reasonable to expect development snapshots to be from various builds over the years.

As per Tech Crunch, earlier this month, Rockstar rolled the credits from ‘GTA 5’ and ‘GTA 5 Online’ on its website, titling the page ‘Thank You,’ which many took as a sign that they were winding down active development on the title.
