<h3>PUBG New State: Top 5 new features</h3>
PUBG New State is the shiny new mobile battle royale game from Krafton. It promises a futuristic setting, modern weapons and gadgets, and a graphics overhaul. But exactly how much of this game is new? Today we bring you the top 5 new features that PUBG New State adds to the battle royale formula.

The biggest and most obvious feature of PUBG New State is the graphics overhaul the game has received. Krafton has put in a new global illumination system, which basically means that the lighting is now consistent across the entire map. This means that if a tree outside is casting a shadow, it will also fall in through a building&rsquo;s window, for example. This makes the game a lot more realistic, and makes it look more like a modern PC game than a mobile game.
Krafton also claim that they&rsquo;ve optimised the game heavily, both in terms of running on older devices, and preventing overheating.
The new graphics aren&rsquo;t just something to look at, they also change how the game feels. Krafton wanted to bring the feel of the PC game PUBG: Battlegrounds to mobile, which means that the ballistics systems, recoil patterns, ADS and firing positions were recreated for PUBG New State. The character animations and game physics were also recreated from the PC game, along with details like destruction of windows and doors, and cloth and material physics.

As a result, PUBG New State feels more smooth than any battle royale game before.
<h3>Death and the Internet: what happens to your data when you die?</h3>
We may not yet live in a metaverse, but our lives are already increasingly online. From priceless memories captured in photos backed up to the cloud, to love letters sent on e-mail, our lives are memorialised by markers that are increasingly digital. And it&rsquo;s not just items of emotional significance &mdash; many of us now own libraries of films, games, or books that are entirely digital.
This digital existence begs a simple question - after we&rsquo;re gone, what happens to all our stuff? The emails, the pictures, the books and games and films? The answer, unfortunately, is not so simple.
In this video, we take a look at how some of the most widely used services deal with this issue, and what you can perhaps do to make the transition a little easier.

Unfortunately, none of these methods will help you pass on purchases like games, films, or books. This is because when you &lsquo;buy&rsquo; a game or film on an online store, you&rsquo;re actually buying a license to access that content whenever you want. This license cannot be transferred, so you can&rsquo;t pass on any digital purchases.
Perhaps the easiest way to pass on your information is to just share the login information with a trusted loved one. You can do so by leaving a document that has all your passwords, or sharing access to a password manager which has stored details of all your logins.

The World Health Organisation on Friday said that the number of deaths directly or indirectly attributed to coronavirus is three times the official toll. The global health body has estimated that there is likely a significant under-count of deaths and 6-8 million people may have died so far.
Referred by health experts as &lsquo;excess mortality&rsquo;, the estimate includes both reported and under reported deaths as well as indirect deaths, that is, fatalities caused due to the lack of medical infrastructure and restrictions amongst other factors.
WHO&rsquo;s statistics suggest that at least 3 million people died last year which is 1.2 million more than the official count.

Technically Speaking, How Can I Safeguard My Online Data & Information? Part 2 with Apar Gupta

As technology evolves, so does our perception of what constitutes privacy and security. Over the past few years, privacy has grown from being a comfort to being recognised as a fundamental right in India. The landmark &lsquo;Puttaswamy judgment&rsquo;, as it&rsquo;s commonly referred to, gave each and every citizen of the country the right to protect their personal information. However, this right needs to be matched by our own capabilities to safeguard this data, especially in the age of instant messaging. In Part 2 of The Bastion&rsquo;s conversation with Apar Gupta of the Internet Freedom Foundation, we delve into what each of us can do in our individual capacity to safeguard our personal data and information on our devices.

Mapping Cyber Security in India with Pukhraj Singh

If the recent revelation that China is collecting huge amounts of data on Indian individuals is anything to go by, it's safe to say that cyber threats have gone beyond the realm of popular belief where this happens largely between North Korea, Russia, USA and China. Mix this with the growing capabilities of the Indian state to collect information about its own citizenry, and we have a confusing concoction of what the Indian cyberspace is. Against such a background, it is crucial to understand just how equipped we, individually and institutionally, are to deal with threats, both, external and internal. Pukhraj Singh, cyber intelligence analyst and expert helps us dig through this through some basic questions:
1. What security and accountability strategies should be adopted while designing government databases?
2. What are some flaws within the Personal Data Protection Bill?
3. What type of cyber strategies have been adopted by different South Asian countries?
4. How do South Asian cyber strategies differ when compared to the rest of the world?
5. Will India exploit the cyber realm in the near future?

Do Applications Pose a Threat to Cyber Security? With Pukhraj Singh

Interview by Bharath Pottekkat Edited by Malavika VN
The inventions of simple-looking, yet complex, mobile and desktop applications have changed the way we consume content. Be it social media or online gaming, there&rsquo;s bound to be an application for any function we desire. If there isn&rsquo;t one right now, then it&rsquo;s just a matter of time till we spot it on Google or Apple&rsquo;s play stores. However, with such diverse sets of apps that we interact with on a daily basis, comes the threat of data misuse. Extrapolating this further, could the data we emit by simply performing mundane tasks on our devices pose a threat to our cybersecurity&mdash;personal and national? To understand whether applications pose a threat to cybersecurity, Bharath Pottekkat speaks to Pukhraj Singh, cyber intelligence analyst and expert. In this short interview, they discuss the following questions:
1. Can applications like Tiktok be used as cyber weapons?
2. Should regulations such as the Tiktok app ban be categorized as offensive or defensive strategies?

Decoding Cyber Sovereignty with Pukhraj Singh

Interview by Bharath Pottekkat Edited by Malavika VN
The past few years have witnessed a change in the way countries attempt to govern the vast, deep and decentralized cyber space. In the midst of large-scale disinformation campaigns threatening the very existence of public institutions, this need to govern stems from very real issues. Yet, the way we choose to do it is as vital in order to maintain the social contract between our society and the State. Regulations without a profound understanding and examination of the workings and meaning behind the cyber realm could leave us in a dire position. With this in mind, in this interview, we speak to Pukhraj Singh to explore four key questions that are critical to both our virtual and physical existence in the backdrop of national sovereignty based cyber regulations. These are as follows:
1. What is cyber sovereignty? What are the different models that exist?
2. What is the relationship between cyber sovereignty &amp; the State?
3. What has India dealt with cyber sovereignty?
4. What is the role of data localization in cyber sovereignty?
Pukhraj Singh is a cyber threat intelligence analyst who has worked with Government agencies, global response teams and start-ups in Canada, Israel, India, Malaysia and the US.
