Dark Souls: Remastered Switch Network Test Delayed

The Dark Souls: Remastered network test for Switch has been delayed, following news that the full game has been delayed until this summer.

Bandai Namco will hold a network test for the game on all consoles, but the Switch's outing will come at a later date to those on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Battlefield 1 Monthly Content Updates Stopping Soon

Battlefield 1's monthly content updates are coming to an end this summer, says DICE content lead, Jonas Elfving.

The monthly updates bring new content, tweaks, and fixes to the game, but Elfving announced that they would continue on this schedule only up until June 2018.

He also announced the new Shock Operations mode, dropping in June. Described as "bite-sized epicness" the new mode is essentially the same as Operations, but plays out on a single map, making it shorter than a full Operations match.

The new mode will be playable on Giant’s Shadow, Prise de Tahure, Lupkow Pass, Zeebrugge, and River Somme. The maps will be accessible to all players during Shock Operations, but you'll need a Battlefield 1 premium pass to access them across all modes.

Major Switch Exploit Could Lead to Piracy, Homebrew

A major exploit in the Nintendo Switch's Nvidia chip has been discovered, and could reportedly turn the device into a haven for hackers.

In order to make the public and the Switch's hardware manufacturers aware of the exploit (thus keeping it out of the realm of those who want to use it for nefarious reasons), it was first made public by hardware hacker Kate Temkin and others at ReSwitched, a website dedicated to the hacking of Nintendo's console to allow homebrew software.

As Temkin describes, the 'Fusée Gelée' exploit is baked into the read-only memory of the Nvidia Tegra X1 used in the Switch, and therefore can't be patched in a software update. In order to access the exploit, you need to put your Switch into recovery mode (using a piece of wire)  to execute extra data during boot time. Temkin has outlined the exploit in a plain language FAQ for those less technically-minded.

Science Confirms Uranus Stinks

Scientists have found evidence the clouds of Uranus are comprised of hydrogen sulfide which is pretty smelly stuff.

A paper published in Nature Astronomy explains the clouds have always appeared to be made up of ammonia or hydrogen sulfide but scientists had been unsure which until this recent survey using the Gemini-North Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrometer in Hawaii.

Previous observations indicated Uranus's cloud top of the main cloud deck had pressures levels between 1.2 bar and 3 bar leading scientists to believe the clouds consisted of either ammonia or hydrogen sulfide but enough information was not available to ascertain in what quantities.
