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 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.

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....
