GTA 6 could be an improved version of GTA Vice City: Leaks

According to several tipsters, the upcoming game in the GTA series may be an improved version of the legendary GTA Vice City with superior visual enhancements.

The upcoming Grand Theft Auto was announced in February when Rockstar said that work on the game was already underway and that it was going to be the best GTA ever.

Rockstar declared its intention to “substantially move beyond” its prior accomplishments with GTA 6 back in February. The statement from Take-Two regarding establishing creative benchmarks is a little more direct. Undoubtedly, it has established the creative bar for creating a Guy Ritchie-inspired open-world videogame.

That was all that was stated, and it’s probably not worth overanalyzing. The statement was potentially just an attempt to quell speculation after a Bloomberg story said to contain information on GTA 6, including the fact that it will have a female protagonist and take place in a fictionalised version of Miami. The veracity of the report has not been confirmed or rejected by Rockstar.

According to Bloomberg, GTA 6’s scope has to be “reeled in” at a certain point, but since it will be updated with “new missions and cities on a regular basis,” it may return to its original magnitude after the game’s release. However, the report claims that GTA 6 will have more inside places than any prior GTA.

Players may have noticed that Rockstar Titles always releases all of its big games in the Fall. GTA 4, which was published in April 2008, is the lone exception. We have four titles in the final two weeks of October, and three in November, if we set that aside. In light of this, we anticipate seeing GTA 6 released in the waning months of the ensuing years.

Right now, Chris Klippel, a well-known GTA leaker, is the source of most trustworthy information regarding GTA VI’s release date. Klippel asserted in March that GTA 6 wouldn’t be available until the latter half of 2024. Later, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier backed this up in a different Twitter conversation and predicted release date of late 2024 or early 2025.

We can expect the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in October or November of 2024 based on these leaks as well as the prior release dates.

Every GTA game has been launched on a Tuesday since GTA Vice City. There is no justification for using GTA 6 to break the trend as well.

Additionally, the game is reportedly modelled on GTA Vice City. Therefore, it would be preferable to schedule the release of GTA 6 for October 29, 2024, if Rockstar Games really wants to honour how the franchise’s first game helped shape later instalments.

New conditions for Pakistanis in Dubai after 80 deported for fake tickets, other reasons

The Pakistani consulate in Dubai has advised Islamabad that Pakistanis visiting Dubai should have a valid work visa, AED 5,000 and a return ticket with them when travelling to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The development came after 80 Pakistanis were deported from the UAE for having fake return tickets and other reasons.

The consular staff of Pakistan was informed that over 80 Pakistanis had been turned away by the UAE immigration authorities for various reasons. Forty Pakistanis were flown back to Pakistan on the same flight that brought them to Dubai, and the remaining half were sent back on alternate planes that were available.

The consulate urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform Pakistani passengers seeking work in the UAE to obtain a valid work visa.

’We never tried to oppress the media’: Imran Khan

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in his interview with The Guardian spoke at length about media freedom during his time as prime minister, forced disappearance in Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

‘We never tried to oppress the media’: Khan

“In my time, we never tried to oppress the media. The only problem was that sometimes the … security agencies — three or four times we found out that picked someone up and immediately when we found out we would immediately have them released,” said Khan.

They [security people] were responsible for picking up people: Khan

“They [security forces] were responsible for picking up people, but according to them they were involved in this insurgency, which was going on in Balochistan and the tribal area bordering Afghanistan. So they would blame that, with some justification, because you could not convict terrorists in the courts because you wouldn’t get witnesses,” said Khan while speaking about forced disappearances and missing persons.

Eventually Afghan women, the Afghan people, will assert their rights: Imran Khan

“Eventually Afghan women, the Afghan people, will assert their rights. They are strong people,” he said. “But if you push the Taliban from the outside, knowing their mindset, they will just put up defences. They just hate outside interference,” said Khan about Afghanistan.

Twitter accused of profiting from leaking users’ private information

Twitter is allegedly giving user email addresses and phone numbers to marketers without their permission, which has put the social media giant in more legal trouble.

The business admitted in 2019 that it may have utilised the personal data customers provided in exchange for a security feature for targeted advertising.

Two Twitter users filed a proposed class action lawsuit against the social media platform on Thursday in a federal court in Northern California. Billy Moses and Christina McClellan, both of Texas, claim in the 38-page complaint that they would not have given Twitter their phone numbers and email addresses if they had known that the firm would utilise the information for targeted advertising.

According to CNET, the lawsuit is the most recent repercussion Twitter is facing because of purported privacy infractions. Twitter reportedly violated the Federal Trade Commission Act and a 2011 FTC order by misrepresenting how it will use nonpublic user contact information, and in May, Twitter agreed to pay a $150 million fine.

Users of Twitter have filed lawsuits against the social media site for violating their privacy in other jurisdictions, including Washington.

Twitter urged users to enter their phone numbers and email addresses for two-factor authentication, an additional security measure, but failed to disclose that the information would be used for targeted advertising.

Because marketers could utilise emails and phone numbers to determine a potential customer’s identity and learn about where they reside, what items they buy, where they shop, and other useful information, the lawsuit claims that Twitter made money off of this data without user consent.

Due to the possibility of using phone numbers and email addresses to identify a person, there are additional hazards associated with their disclosure. According to the lawsuit, hackers may attempt to access a user’s social media accounts through email or gather other data in order to commit identity theft.

Additionally, the corporation is said to have broken both its agreement with users and California’s Unfair Competition Law. At the time, Twitter’s privacy policy stated that while it doesn’t provide its partners access to user information like email addresses and phone numbers, it may link the data it supplies to other data if a user gives their approval to that partner.

Apple warns of security flaw that lets hackers take full control of iPhones, iPads and MacBooks

To protect against two security loopholes that might let hackers take full access to a user’s iPhone, iPad, or Mac, Apple owners have been warned to update their products immediately.

Apple stated that there are solid reports suggesting that hackers have already been taking advantage of the flaws in both cases to attack users.

According to Apple, one of the software flaws affects the kernel, the most core component of the operating system used by all devices. The other has an impact on WebKit, the engine that powers the Safari web browser.

By accessing the settings menu on a mobile device or the “about this Mac” menu on a computer, users of macOS Monterey can get the update.

According to experts, a hacker could gain “complete admin access to the device” and “run any code as if they were you, the user,” according to Apple’s explanation of the vulnerability.

People “in the public spotlight,” such as activists or journalists, who could be the focus of sophisticated nation-state eavesdropping, should pay special attention to updating their software, according to Tobac.

The vulnerabilities were previously categorised as “zero-day” issues since a fix had been made available for them for zero days prior to the fix’s release. Such flaws are extremely lucrative on the open market, and cyberweapon dealers will pay thousands or even millions of dollars for them.

‘Name them’: Marriyum challenges Khan to name agencies that briefed him on PPP, PML-N’s corruption

Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb on Friday challenged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to name the agencies and the people working in them who he claimed had briefed him on the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) alleged corruption.

Addressing a news conference today, the minister said, “Who used to give you these reports? Who used to tell you all these things? Name them.”

The information minister recalled that Khan had earlier said that the appointment of Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja was done after he was given guarantee of his neutrality.

“You said the agency had given you guarantees about the CEC […] who had given you the guarantees? What did they say? And why were you receiving guarantees?”

“Did you ask for those reports? And who from the agencies gave you reports?”

“Imran Khan sahab, stop this drama and lies. If you have the courage, tell us who from what agency used to give you reports on PPP and PML-N […],” she demanded.

“You slung mud on other people, and you say the agencies were giving you briefings? Do you have any shame?” she questioned. “You made a joke of such a big country’s democracy. Do you think your sins will be forgiven if you say agencies were giving you briefings? Then take their names.”

Aurangzeb alleged that after the no-confidence vote, Imran “begged the neutrals to protect him”.

“But when the institutions played the role of neutrals, which is a line sketched by the Constitution […] you are now, once again, asking them to help you and save your false politics”.

Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday, August 18, wondered about the role of the ‘establishment’ in curbing corruption, saying he always thought that ‘establishment’ was against corrupt rulers.

“Why did you let these corrupt leaders imposed upon the country when you yourself [establishment] would say that they are corrupt,” added Khan.

He also revealed that agencies had informed him about the corruption scandals of incumbent rulers when he was the prime minister. Imran also reiterated that attempts were being made to disqualify him and bring back Nawaz Sharif, who was disqualified for life by the Supreme Court, from London to put both of them in the same position.
