Remembering The Witcher 3’s toughest choices (and the objectively correct answers)

The Witcher 3 redefined quest approaches in the RPG genre by blurring the lines between main quests and side missions, with sidequests featuring narratives that rival the main storyline. Notable quests include "The Last Wish," which explores Geralt's relationship with Yennefer, and "Possession," where players face a moral dilemma involving a cursed baby. In "Return to Crookback Bog," players must make difficult choices affecting the Bloody Baron's family, while in "Count Reuven's Treasure," Triss faces torture, prompting a moral decision. The quest "Scenes From a Marriage" presents an ethical choice regarding Iris Von Everec's violet rose, and a seemingly trivial choice about shaving Geralt's beard symbolizes his growth and maturity.

This is the best companion app for the Linux terminal on Android

Google's latest Pixel Drop update has introduced a Linux Terminal app that runs within a Debian-based virtual machine. The Linux Command Library is a companion app designed to assist users with the terminal experience, featuring three main tabs: Basics, Tips, and Commands. The Basics section offers an overview of essential commands, the Tips section provides curated commands for beginners, and the Commands tab serves as a master search tool for more experienced users. Users can copy and paste commands directly from the app into the terminal. Not all commands in the Linux Command Library are compatible with the default Android Terminal app, and some command-line games may not function as intended. The app aims to help users navigate the complexities of the Linux Terminal, making it a valuable resource for both newcomers and experienced users.

Unpatched Windows Shortcut Vulnerability Let Attackers Execute Remote Code

Security researcher Nafiez has discovered a vulnerability in Windows LNK files that allows remote code execution without user interaction. Microsoft has chosen not to address this issue, stating it does not meet their security servicing criteria. The vulnerability exploits specific components of LNK files, enabling attackers to create malicious shortcuts that initiate silent network connections when a user accesses a folder containing them. The exploit involves manipulating the HasArguments flag, EnvironmentVariableDataBlock, and embedding UNC paths. Microsoft defends its inaction by citing the Mark of the Web (MOTW) feature as adequate protection, despite concerns from security experts about its effectiveness. Previous vulnerabilities in LNK files have been addressed by Microsoft, and the availability of proof-of-concept code raises fears of potential exploitation by malicious actors.

MOVIES: A Minecraft Movie – Review: Hyperactive Soulless Mess

Pitchfork criticized Benson Boone's performance at Coachella, questioning the value of music when faced with subpar offerings, a sentiment that can also apply to A Minecraft Movie. The film is perceived to target a nonexistent audience, featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa in roles that lack engagement. Its plot involves two siblings dealing with estrangement in a world that feels disjointed, with a narrative that seems overstuffed and generic despite the input of five writers. The film incorporates musical elements but fails to entertain, borrowing heavily from typical coming-of-age tropes and presenting outdated gender dynamics. Overall, A Minecraft Movie is viewed as a cash-in on its intellectual property, lacking originality and creative spark, and while not the worst film of the year, it falls short in storytelling and engagement.
