The autonomous machines are being built as part of an AU$2.16 billion Western Tunnelling Package that was awarded to the Gamuda Australia and Laing O’Rourke consortium, which has contracted manufacturer Herrenknecht to design, build, and deliver the machines. According to the state government, the machines will feature artificial intelligence software, developed by Gamuda, that will be used to automatically steer, operate, and monitor various TBM functions. “While an operator remains in control, the autonomous system takes on all repetitive tasks from the operator with greater accuracy,” Minister for Transport David Elliot said, claiming that the use of autonomous TBMs will be an Australian first....

The one iPhone X app update I’ve been impatiently awaiting has finally arrived: Pokémon GO (yes, I still play). Version 1.53.2 includes optimization for the taller iPhone X display so the game is no squeezed between black bars at the top and bottom. Although I don’t typically play Pokémon GO in AR mode, flipping on the augmented reality setting when you encounter a Pokémon in the wild does make the game that much more immersive thanks to the all-screen design of the iPhone X....

Nick Fury’s super-spy trick to escape the base at Project Pegasus in Captain Marvel should have been familiar to fans of Ant-Man. Set in 1995, the MCU prequel sees a younger and less mysterious Fury than audiences are used to. Two-eyed and incredibly fond of cats (two character traits that are reversed in a quick scratch), he’s yet to become Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. or conceive of the Avengers Initiative (nee Protector)....

There is no one definitive answer to this question. Some methods that may work include using the scanner to identify specific features of the building, then using the map to find coordinates that correspond to those features, and finally using the jetpack to fly to those coordinates and explore the building from the inside out. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to destroy walls in No Man’s Sky may vary depending on the wall type and the player’s current equipment....

Nokia and HMD Global have been busy launching Android-based smartphones for months now, and while the Nokia 8 has served as the pair of company’s flagship for a little while now, it looks like a new contender is on the way. Based on documents published by the FCC, and surfaced by Liliputing, specifications for the upcoming Nokia 9 have been revealed. There are some key changes in place when compared to the Nokia 8, including the 5....

Nokia Lumia 920 to have wireless charging and PureView technology We’ve already been pleasantly surprised by the wireless charging ability in the Samsung Galaxy S3 (via the wireless charging kit), and we’re quite sure the owners were happy to say good-bye to another cord in their life. Nokia Lumia 920 could have some sort of a magnetic strip in its back to be able to support wireless charging. What’s different from the feature in the Samsung Galaxy S3 is that Nokia’s first Windows Phone 8 handset could make use of the Qi wireless power standard which means it could be compatible with other wireless charging products....

While everyone is talking about the KitKat-ification of Android and Samsung’s newest hardware, some folks at Nokia are taking advantage of this social chatter by posting up an image that makes fun of Google and Samsung in an odd, threatening way. Spotted by The Verge, this humorous, yet mildly disturbing image was posted on Twitter by Nokia’s German account. It shows a Samsung Galaxy S3 broken in half and accompanied by the words “Have a break, have a …”, which is a play on the KitKat slogan “Gimme a break....

When you think of hackers, the image of a creepy teenager sitting in his parents’ basement probably comes to mind. Thanks Hollywood! The reality is, hacking groups are made up of sophisticated technicians that are ruthless and good at what they do. Matters are more dire when governments get involved. That’s exactly what’s happening now. North Korea is spying on people with the help of malicious apps found in the Google Play Store....

Nintendo announced its first mobile game: Miitomo. Sadly, the game will not feature any of the iconic characters from the company like Mario or Zelda. Miitomo will be free to download and play, but come with IAPs. The game has a very un-game like premise though, and will allow players to design their own “Miis,” which will be able to communicate with other Miis. Nintendo did not provide any other details about the game, but from its description, Miitomo sounds more like a communication platform....

Typically, people turn to review aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes, IMBD or TV.com to find the next show to watch, but these websites only give you half the story. Let’s say a show gets high marks for the pilot or premier season, only to squander its potential and fumble the ending. “Game of Thrones” fans know this feeling all too well, as the series enjoyed stellar reviews until its divisive final season....

Last year in June, Muffet stated that about 525,000 people would access Facooking via Tor over a 30 day period, and has almost doubled in less than a year, which is now 1 million.

The tech giant Microsoft now has a new idea to put into practice, the Playable Ads, which will allow users to test applications before they buy them, directly from the advertisements where they will be presented. This concept of accessing applications without having them installed on the operating systems is not new. As the tech giant Google has been around for some time with Instant Apps. But the tech giant Microsoft now wants to take it further, with the possibility of integrating applications into advertising, giving users the ability to test them for a few minutes, thereby proving their usefulness and need....

The Attorney General has launched a website through which customers affected by Dell’s dubious dealings can register their complaints in an attempt to seek compensation. The move follows this week’s judgment against the computer company in which New York State Supreme Court Judge Joseph Teresi declared Dell had engaged in fraud, false advertising, deceptive business and abusive debt collection practices. The company was also found guilty of a sustained pattern of depriving customers of tech support....

This morning, Asian technology publication Nikkei posted its latest report on Apple’s upcoming iPhone lineup, corroborating much of what has been known via other sources. Nikkei says that the iPhone 12 will consist of four new models and each will be equipped with an OLED display. This will be the first time all of Apple’s flagship phones use OLED screen technology which offers true blacks and better contrast; for instance, the cheaper iPhone 11 models use LCD displays....

Just like most images are stored in JPG or PNG formats, HEIC is an image format used by iPhones and iPads. This mage format is great since it stores high-quality image data in a small data footprint. However, it is not compatible with all devices. So case you’re sending one out for your friends that it will not be visible. If you do want to share or convert HEIC images into JPG on Ipad or iPhone, then there are many ways to do that....
