NordVPN Teams With Shaquille O’Neal To Promote Online Protection

NordVPN organized an event in Times Square featuring Shaquille O'Neal to highlight the importance of online protection.

Additionally, 71% believe common sense is enough for online safety, while 51% reuse similar passwords. Nearly half rely solely on antivirus software for protection, and 73% reported encountering scams, with 13% losing or nearly losing money. Shaquille O'Neal emphasized the need for vigilance and using the right tools for online safety, while NordVPN's CMO noted the disconnect between confidence and actual skills in cybersecurity.

How to complete Sizing Things Up in Arc Raiders

Players in Arc Raiders assist Celeste in examining the remains of the Emperor, a giant robot at Pendola Pass, in the quest "Sizing Things Up." The quest involves capturing a photograph of the Emperor's leg on a bridge east of Old Town, analyzing the exposed area atop the leg near Railroad Junction, and searching for the Buried Harvester Payload at the base of the Emperor, located east of the Fallen Emperor marker near Piazza Della Rupe. Interacting with a chest at this location yields the Arc Conductive Coupler.

I had 3 hours with Arc Raiders Frozen Trails update and spent most of it playing with the new grapple hook

Morgan Park discusses the recent gaming session of Arc Raiders, highlighting the introduction of a grapple hook that operates with a simulated rope, allowing players to climb, swing, and descend with versatility. The grapple hook can adhere to various surfaces and be redeployed midair without cooldown, enhancing movement options significantly. The Frozen Trail update also includes a launcher that tethers objects and a grenade for pulling down Arc bots, though testing of these features is limited. The skill tree has been reworked, allowing players to invest XP points in abilities, but the changes provide only incremental boosts rather than transformative gameplay alterations. The focus remains on loot and crafting rather than combat enhancements. Pendola Pass is visually appealing but feels familiar compared to other maps like Marathon, lacking unique gameplay elements. The snowy landscape introduces some challenges, such as flash freezes and a new enemy, the Bully Arc, but overall, the gameplay revisits familiar territory. The Emperor is mentioned as a significant draw for players, though it was not explored during the preview.
