PS Plus Bonus Gets You PS4's PlayStation Now For Cheap

When it comes to the PS4 lately, it seems like PlayStation Plus members have all the fun. Not only do they get free games each month and exclusive deals like the PS Plus Specials sale going on now, but they occasionally get additional special offers. The latest deal for PS Plus members is a 33% discount on the game-streaming service PlayStation Now.

Between now and September 25, PS Plus members who sign up for (or renew) a PS Now membership will get a three-month subscription for $30. That's not a bad deal, considering the normal price is $45. If you sign up, note that the subscription auto-renews unless canceled, and the discount only applies for the first three months. After that, it goes back up to $45.

PS Now is basically Sony's "Netflix for games." It lets you play a selection of over 650 PS4, PS3, and PS2 games by streaming them to your PS4 or PC--which means you don't have to download the games to play them. A solid internet connection certainly helps, though.

Most of the games available through PS Now are PS3 games, with standouts like Red Dead Redemption, Fallout: New Vegas, and the first three Uncharted games. More recently Sony has begun adding PS4 games, including Until Dawn, God of War 3 Remastered, and Killzone: Shadow Fall. Some PS2 games are also available on the service, including Ape Escape 2 and Dark Cloud 2. You can see the full list of games available on PS Now here.

Each month, Sony also adds a new batch of games to the service. Below are the new additions for June 2018.

June PlayStation Now Games

• Adam's Venture: Origins
• Aegis of Earth: Protonovus Assault
• Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits

Proposal Manager for financial services helps increase win rates

The commercial and corporate lending environment is increasingly competitive and squeezing interest margins for banks and lenders. Bank lending teams must navigate a stream of documents—such as client financials, collateral assets, and regulatory attestations. They must follow protocols that thoroughly analyze the risk attached to a credit facility and income potential of business loans and capital investments. Since lending proposals contain sensitive client information, strict privacy, security, and compliance measures are required. In addition, financial services institutions are hampered by disjointed systems and manual processes that are costly and slow—often leading to inconsistent results, higher error rates, and increased costs.

To win business in this competitive market, lending teams need the right tools to deliver tailored proposals quickly and easily. Built on the Microsoft 365 platform, the Proposal Manager solution is designed specifically for corporate and commercial banks to:

• Streamline, automate, and speed up the lending process.
• Create more effective proposals.
• Collaborate across the bank with strict confidentiality.

The solution was developed by the Microsoft Financial Services team and developers as part of their focus to build vertical-specific solutions. No other cloud productivity providers offer a true banking-specific, end-to-end proposal management solution—architected from the ground up using the Microsoft 365 productivity suite.

The solution is fully customizable and adaptable by your enterprise development team, so your lending team can:

• Easily create professional, winning proposals—Save time, sharpen creativity, and present professional commitment letters to increase win rates and improve credit risk management.
• Streamline proposal management—Simplify the commercial and corporate loan origination process with integrated, automated, and secure tools for document management while orchestrating team workflows and collaboration. Bank managers can facilitate iterative proposal negotiations while ensuring version consistency, empower relationship managers on the go, and help expedite credit committee approvals.
• Improve collaboration and teamwork—Respond to proposals quickly and collaboratively with connected, company-wide communications and collaboration tools. Meet tight deadlines and keep the proposal process moving seamlessly by sharing and collaborating in real-time. Lead proposal reviews and whiteboarding sessions with enterprise-class email, voice, and video.

The numbers don’t lie. The impact a solution like this could have for your firm is significant. A recent Capgemini study found that back-office commercial bank employees spend about 80 percent of their time on repetitive and manual tasks. The same study also cites that automation will provide more than 25 percent in cost savings by automating data-intensive and repetitive tasks. Can you imagine what all your employees could achieve if their time were freed up to tackle other revenue-generating projects?

The Proposal Manager solution is now available to all Microsoft 365 E5 customers. It’s integrated across existing Microsoft 365 workloads to help you transform your proposal process into an agile, collaborative, secure, and client-centered process without requiring significant IT involvement for deployment.

Sales managers and other business leaders can download the Proposal Manager brochure and engage your IT support and development team to understand more about how the solution can help. IT developers can visit GitHub today to get started.

July Xbox Update begins rolling out

iOS 12’s Siri Shortcuts app goes live for developers only

 

By Roger Fingas
Thursday, July 05, 2018, 11:22 am PT (02:22 pm ET)

Developers can now request access to an early version of Apple’s Shortcuts app, which lets iOS 12 owners create custom automations triggered through Siri.

Access is restricted to developers only, and people accepted for testing must install the app through TestFlight. In release notes, Apple cautions that “limited actions” are currently available, and won’t sync via iCloud.

In fact the Shortcuts beta has several known issues, others being that some actions won’t appear when running custom shortcuts in Siri, and it can’t yet open apps when a device is locked. Apple also notes that shortcuts provided to the INVoiceShortcutCenter suggested shortcuts API are not available when viewing an app’s actions in Shortcuts.

Apple issued a second public beta of iOS 12 earlier on Thursday.

The promise of Shortcuts is the expansion of automation beyond HomeKit to every aspect of iOS, so long as developers enable hooks in their own titles. During Apple’s WWDC keynote in June, the company used the example of a custom “I’m heading home” phrase for Siri, which automatically texted a contact with a preset message, adjusted a HomeKit thermostat, turned on a fan, presented estimated travel time, and started playing NPR. In iOS 11, this would require several separate commands.

The concept is similar to the skills and routines baked into Amazon’s Alexa. To develop its own equivalent Apple bought out Workflow, which allows automations akin to Shortcuts but more limited.

One Deck Dungeon expands its hero roster with the Witch

By Ian Boudreau 05 Jul 2018

There’s some new DLC to pick up for One Deck Dungeon, the card-driven roguelike that popped up just back in June. A warm welcome to The Witch, a new magic-user who Handleabra says is a bit of a “jack of all trades.”

Witches usually get associated with damp places like swamps and bogs, but in the lore of One Deck Dungeon, they seem to be pyromaniacs who all study their trade in a volcanic city called Inanidec. Syvir, our new Witch, is supposed to be “more anarchic than Mages, and more chaotic than Alchemists,” and she excels in both spellcasting and melee combat.

The Witch DLC just launched July 4, and she joins two new characters, the Fanatic and a faerie called Caliana, and two new dungeons, the Phoenix Den and the Cinder Plains, in One Deck Dungeon’s DLC lineup. Each can be had for 99 cents US or your local equivalent.

If you haven’t tried this excellent conversion of the tabletop dice game yet, check out our five-star review.

Useful Rust Console Commands for the Average Player and Admin



For the first few months of Rust's "experimental" development, most player variables such as the nudity censor and mouse sensitivity were controlled only by console commands (aka "cvars"). Thankfully, most of these controls are now in the game menu for your tweaking pleasure. Simply hit the escape key and open the options tab!
While it's now easier to edit many things, console commands still come in handy. Below is a list of use Rust console commands for both players and admins.

Note: 1=true and 0=false. These may be used interchangeably when entering console commands that have an "on or off" state.
