GTA 5 Online Casino update is out Next Week

Grand Theft Auto players have been looking forward to getting into gambling. The good news is that the players of Grand Theft Auto Online are not going to have to wait for long to get their hands the Casino DLC. On the 18th of July, Rockstar Games came up with a new trailer concerning the release of the Casino DLC. 

The GTA 5 Online Casino DLC will have a release date of  Tuesday July 23 on PS4, Xbox One and PCs . At the new GTA Casino in Vinewood Grand Theft Auto 5 Online players will be able to try their luck at traditional casino games like blackjack, roulette and on the slot machines.The GTA Casino also features a Penthouse area with VIP lounges, and the DLC will also bring with it the brand new Truffade Thrax super-car.

In addition to the new games, the developer also allows the player in gaining access to more of a customizing Master Penthouse. There is a slight catch when it comes to the Master Penthouse, and that is only the VIP members can access the play area. The Penthouse grants a new set of co-op missions, where you'll work with casino owner Tao Cheng to keep the place safe from rich, threatening Texans. Completing all the missions here will unlock a new vehicle for free, although Rockstar doesn't say what it is.

Rockstar hasn’t said if chips will be purchasable with real money, but in Red Dead Online, players gamble with in-game cash that can only be earned by playing the game, not by micro-transactions. Given internet gambling laws, it’s likely Rockstar will employ the same method in GTA Online. This way, players can’t spend real money or win fake money that is worth real cash in the casino. We’ve reached out to Rockstar for clarification.

Rockstar has been teasing the casino for a while, and it’s something players have wanted since GTA Online’s launch. While things in the casino update sound exciting and fun, they also sound extremely pricey: A private arcade, artwork, fancy clothing, and personal cinema certainly won’t come cheap. Hopefully exploring the casino and playing some games won’t cost an arm and a leg.

After a long journey, Microsoft has been finally decided to killing all of its iconic games including Hearts, Spades, Checkers and Backgammon  and MSN Go. After almost 20 years of entertainment, windows users are no longer be able to play these games. They started shutting down these games from Windows XP and ME then Windows 7 .

From now on the company would focusing on Xbox Cloud or XCloud, Xbox streaming that would be debuting in October, CNET reported on Friday. In a post to the Microsoft forums, Microsoft Moderator M. Hamer posted that they were going to begin shutting down the Internet Games services for Windows ME and XP starting on July 31st, 2019. For Windows 7 users, it will be shut down on January 22, 2020, eight days after Windows 7 reaches end of support. “While we’re saddened to leave this chapter behind, we continue to be committed to delivering engaging, delightful gaming experiences. We hope you’ll come with us on this journey and join the community of any of the other Microsoft casual games,” Hamer added.

There are bound to be web-based equivalents to these games, so you might not be completely stuck if you're determined to play something on an older PC. Microsoft would no doubt prefer that you upgrade to a Windows 10 system and play something from its own app store, though. As it is, it's almost surprising that support didn't end earlier. Microsoft stopped regular maintenance of Windows XP and ME years ago -- Internet Games on those platforms were clearly living on borrowed time, and Windows 7 isn't far behind

Microsoft has been focused on developing and launching its xCloud Xbox streaming service, which will become available in October. The service will let you play on devices like phones and tablets, and will work with all 3,500 games in the Xbox One library as well as the 1,900 titles still in development.

 The games affected by this shutdown are listed below:

• Internet Backgammon (XP/ME, 7)
• Internet Checkers (XP/ME, 7)
• Internet Spades (XP/ME, 7)
• Internet Hearts (XP/ME)
• Internet Reversi (XP/ME)
• MSN Go (7)

Google admits about eavesdropping your private talks via Voice Assistent

Google has admitted that it listens to voice recordings of users from its AI voice-assistant Google Assistant after its Dutch language recordings were leaked by Belgian public broadcaster VRT NWS. 

Earlier this week, VRT NWS claims that Third-party contractors who working for google are secretly recording and listening your privet talks. “Most of these recordings were made consciously, but Google also listens to conversations that should never have been recorded, some of which contain sensitive information,” VRT claimed in its report. After obtaining copies of some recordings, VRT NWS reached out to the users and had them verify their voice, or those of their children, talking to the digital assistant.

Google’s product manager of Search David Monsees responded to the report, publishing a blog titled "More information about our processes to safeguard speech data", where he claimed “These language experts review and transcribe a small set of queries to help us better understand those languages. This is a critical part of the process of building speech technology, and is necessary to creating products like the Google Assistant,”

In a statement, Google said it only transcribes and uses "about 0.2 per cent of all audio clips", to improve their voice recognition technology. However, of over 1,000 recordings from Assistant, which is used on smartphones, smart home speakers like Google Home and other products, VRT reported that 153 were recorded accidentally and even revealed some personal information of users such as their address in one case and names of grandchildren of a family in another. "The company has launched an investigation because the contractor breached data security policies," said the Google spokesperson.

In February, Google detailed that its Nest Guard, the centerpiece of the Nest Secure home alarm system, would soon receive Google Assistant functionality -- meaning the device needed to have both a speaker and microphone. Users were not made aware that the Nest Guard had a microphone at all, however. Google responded by saying the failure to make users aware of a microphone in Nest Guard was nothing more than a mistake.

A new Android Malware called "Agent Smith" has infected over 25 million devices worldwide, including 15 million in India. The malware disguises itself as a Google-related application and then replaces installed applications with malicious versions of them using known Android vulnerabilities without users' knowledge. “The malware attacks user-installed applications silently, making it challenging for common Android users to combat such threats on their own,” said Jonathan Shimonovich, Head of Mobile Threat Detection Research at Check Point.  
As per a press note shared by Check Point Research, the Agent Smith malware uses its access to Android devices to show fake ads for financial gain, but given its access, it can also be used for more nefarious purposes. However, it is unclear if the malware has been doing so.
