Learn how to create the best Great Axe build in New World, a two-handed weapon that excels in DPS and crowd control in PvP and PvE. As a two-handed weapon, the Great Axe has slower damage output, but it more than makes up for it with being able to attack two or more targets at once. Additionally, higher-level Great Axe perks have some self-healing options as well, making the Great Axe one of the best weapons in New World.

Unlike weapons such as the Hatchet, Sword and Shield, or Spear, the Great Axe doesn't have any ranged options for its Mastery Trees. Instead, its Mastery Trees are split into powerful single-target attacks and multi-target attacks. Both trees are excellent for damaging and crowd control, which is why the Great Axe is a useful weapon for both DPS-focused builds and Tanks Builds.

The Reaper is the first Mastery Tree for the Great Axe, and it has abilities that focus on bringing enemies closer to the player and finishing them off quickly. The Mauler tree focuses on bundling enemies together and attacking them all at once. Although the Mauler abilities deal less damage than the abilities in the Reaper tree, they require far less precision to land attacks. A Great Axe is easy to craft, but it can also be earned by claiming New World Twitch drops from select content creators.

These are the Great Axe abilities:

• Reap (Reaper): Extend the axe outward by 5 meters and pull enemies back in, dealing 110% weapon damage.
• Charge (Reaper): Charge 10 meters dealing 120% weapon damage after reaching a target.
• Execute (Reaper): A powerful overhead attack dealing 200% weapon damage. Deals 300% weapon damage to foes under 50% health.
• Maelstrom (Mauler): Fast-spinning attack that pulls targets inward and deals 110% weapon damage.
• Whirlwind (Mauler): Spin attack dealing 50% weapon damage to all nearby enemies. The user spins again if they land a hit, up to four times.
• Gravity Well (Mauler): Throw axe to create a vortex that pulls foes to its center for 3 seconds. The move ends with a burst dealing 125% weapon damage.

The best Great Axe build uses Execute, Maelstrom, and Whirlwind, all perfect abilities for a New World Tank Build. Since the Great Axe does a great job of handling crowds, abilities like Whirlwind and Maelstrom are ideal for separating a few members and landing multiple attacks. Execute is a powerful move that should be used to finish off enemies, which is particularly useful when a couple of enemies are close to one another.

In the past, Google has done poorly to keep pixel details private and this year has been no exception.

The latest leak - if you can call it that - comes from Carphone Warehouse, the UK's largest electronics retailer. The retailer (via Evan Blass) has published two test pages (1, 2) describing the Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 6 Pro and confirming some information from previous rumors and assumptions. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will be officially released on October 19th.

What does the Pixel 6 series list tell us?

 We've seen plenty of leaks and rumors about the latest phones from Google, and the Carphone Warehouse pages reflect some of them, but add new details as well. Here are some suggestions on how to find antiques or make an appointment:

The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are powered by Google's Tensor processor and the next-generation Titan M2 security chip.

Google claims that Tensor is up to 80% more powerful than the Pixel 5.

A standard Pixel device can last up to 48 hours in sleep mode.

All-day battery life, compatible with standard batteries. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus in both variants.

IP68 water protection for both models.

The Pixel 6 has a 6.4-inch display with a soft display with adjustable refresh rate and a mode for high brightness.

The Pro model has a 6.7 inch LTPO display with 120Hz that can be reduced to 10Hz.

Offline translation in 55 languages

30 watt fast wired charging The new Pixel Stand is twice as powerful as the first generation model. Up to 23 watts are supported on the Pro and up to 21 watts on the standard telephone.

Five years of security updates in the US.

Lots of new camera functions

Carphone Warehouse's screens also have a wide range of camera specifications and functions. Some of these stories were already known, others are new or have been suggested. Here's what we learned about the Pixel 6 series cameras from lists:

The Pixel 6 Pro has a 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens, a 48-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens on the rear.

Google's standard model offers a 50-megapixel lens with an ultra-wide angle of view and an ultra-wide camera (not to mention the alleged 12-megapixel resolution).

The new primary sensor receives 150% more light than the main camera behind the Pixel 5.

The Pixel 6 Pro has a 4x optical zoom and a 20x super magnification.

The previously rumored Magic Eraser feature allows users to automatically remove certain elements (such as objects and photo spoilers) from photos. Face Unblur "removes blurring from the face to make it more visible".

In motion mode you can capture "crazy ski tricks and wild beach waves in full motion".

Extensive 94-degree field of view for the Pixel 6 Pro selfie camera. What he will do with the Pixel 6 is not yet known.

Most of these details have already been rumored, but the difference is that this is an official source that we have no doubt about. At the time of going to press two pages are still online.

The Delta variant of the coronavirus does not appear to cause more severe disease in children than earlier forms of the virus, a UK study suggests.

Earlier this year, the research team found the Alpha variant of the virus did not appear to make children sicker than the so-called wild, or original, form of the virus, first seen in China. New data suggests that kids also do not get any sicker from Delta than they did from Alpha.

 Researchers compared two groups of school-age kids with COVID-19: 694 infected with the Alpha variant between late December 2020 and early May 2021, and 706 infected with Delta between late May and early July.

As reported on Thursday on medRxiv ahead of peer review, children infected with Delta had slightly more symptoms. But in both groups, very few children needed to be hospitalized and long periods of illness were uncommon. In both groups, half of the children were sick for no more than five days.

The researchers lacked information on differences between the groups that might have influenced the results, such as whether lockdowns were in place, and the effects of different seasons.

“Our data suggest that clinical characteristics of COVID-19 due to the Delta variant in children are broadly similar to COVID-19 due to other variants,” the researchers concluded.

That appears to jibe with data reported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“Although we are seeing more cases in children … these studies demonstrated that there was not increased disease severity in children,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said of the Delta-driven wave in a statement. “More children have COVID-19 because there is more disease in the community.”

 

Tesla has delayed the rollout of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta 10.2 software rollout because of last-minute concerns, CEO Elon Musk tweeted early Saturday. He apologized for the delay, saying the release would likely happen Sunday or Monday. He didn’t elaborate on what the “concerns” were.

A few last minute concerns about this build. Release likely on Sunday or Monday. Sorry for the delay.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 9, 2021

The software was supposed to roll out Friday to about 1,000 Tesla owners with perfect safety scores of 100 —as determined by the automaker— with a gradual rollout for those with scores at 99 and below after that, according to Musk.

Tesla has been testing the beta version of its FSD software for about a year, and despite the head of the National Transportation Safety Board expressing serious concerns about the software’s safety, the carmaker began expanding FSD access to more drivers last month. Before a Tesla driver gets access to FSD, however, the company determines their “safety score,” using criteria that evaluate “the likelihood that your driving could result in a future collision.” The score is tabulated using data collected by sensors in the driver’s Tesla.

The company has required owners who opt in to the FSD beta to sign non-disclosure agreements, and asked that they refrain from sharing video clips online of the system’s mistakes. To reiterate: the FSD software doesn’t make Teslas fully autonomous; Musk himself has said he thinks the “feature complete” version of the software will only be “likely” to drive someone from their home to work without human intervention and will still require supervision.

 

A new study has revealed a link between screen time and higher risk and severity of myopia, or short-sightedness, in children and young adults.

The findings of the study were published in 'The Lancet Digital Health' journal.

The open-access research was undertaken by researchers and eye health experts from Singapore, Australia, China and the UK, including Professor Rupert Bourne from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU).

The authors examined more than 3,000 studies investigating smart device exposure and myopia in children and young adults aged between 3 months old and 33 years old.

 

Poor Pluto can't seem to catch a break! Scientists have realised that the dwarf planet in our solar system is undergoing changes that are causing Pluto's atmosphere to disappear.

Situated 4.8 billion kilometres away from Earth, the icy planet became observable to scientists when it crossed paths with a star in 2018. As it moved in front of the star, Pluto appeared backlit, offering scientists a glimpse into the planet's physical properties.

The research, undertaken by a pool of scientists including many from the Southwest Research Institute (SWRI), claims that Pluto's icy atmosphere is slowly dying. They assessed Pluto using telescopes situated in the United States and Mexico.

What is happening to Pluto's atmosphere?

Pluto's atmosphere, much like Earth is made of nitrogen and is supported by icy vapours on the dwarf's surface. Now, the ice is thickening. The thickening of ice is caused by the distance between our Sun and Pluto, which has steadily increased in the last two and a half decades.

 Facebook plans to shell out some serious cash to get creators making content on its virtual reality platform Horizon Worlds.

The social media giant this week announced it’s put together a $10 million Creator Fund that will disburse to content creators and developers over the next year.

Horizon Worlds (recently rebranded from its original name, just plain Horizon) is essentially an ultramodern version of computer game Second Life, where users interact with one another in shared virtual spaces using customized avatars. It’s been in development since at least 2019, and is currently in invite-only beta.

 

Soon after showcasing its new Material You design language at I/O 2021, Google started rolling out design changes to its apps based on the new guidelines. With the Android 12 stable release for Google Pixels right around the corner, the company has significantly ramped up its Material You rollout. We’ve seen Material You updates recently for Google Assistant, Google Photos, Google Duo, and Google Drive. There have also been Material You updates for Google Keep, then Google Messages and Google Podcasts. Now it appears that the Google Play Store is the next to get Material You dynamic color theming on Android 12.

 Facebook Inc apologized to users for a two-hour disruption to its services on Friday and blamed another faulty configuration change for its second global outage this week.

The company confirmed its social media platform, Instagram, Messenger and Workplace were impacted by the latest outage.

"Sincere apologies to anyone who wasn't able to access our products in the last couple of hours," the company said. "We fixed the issue, and everything should be back to normal now."

During the latest outage, some users were unable to load their Instagram feeds, while others were not able to send messages on Facebook Messenger.

People swiftly took to Twitter to share memes and jokes about the second service disruption this week. "Looks like Facebook went to a 3-day work week. Monday and Friday shutdowns?" a Twitter user said.

Finding the Stones of Barenziah is perhaps one of the most notorious quests in all of Skyrim, as players are required to scour the whole of the game's expansive map looking for the pieces of Barenziah's Crown. Many players may not even bother putting forth the effort, as it's notably difficult to locate the easily missable, unmarked items required. As a result, few ever receive the reward the quest offers. However, is the Stones of Barenziah reward even worth it in the first place?

The quest "No Stone Unturned" begins when players discover their first Stone of Barenziah, a collection of 24 unusual gems scattered across the entire map. Upon bringing it to an appraiser - something that requires that the Dragonborn become a member of Skyrim's Thieves Guild and talk to Vex - it kicks off the objective of finding every last one of the unmarked gems. Once all of them have been recovered, players then have to retrieve the Crown of Barenziah, which can be recovered from Tolvald's Cave.

The reward for collecting all the Stones of Barenizah is a unique ability, Prowler's Profit, which significantly increases the chance of finding multiple gems in places like chests or looted enemies. The completed Crown of Barenziah is also displayed alongside other recovered items in the Thieves Guild headquarters. Other than that, though, there isn't much incentive to locating all of the Stones of Barenziah, especially given how difficult it is compared to most other and better side quests in Skyrim.

Prowler's Profit might seem like a worthwhile ability for players who are just starting out, but even then, its usefulness is questionable at best. Many Skyrim players aren't necessarily worried about profits, especially those who have joined the Thieves Guild, a necessary requirement for appraising the Stones of Barenziah in the first place. Stolen items are objectively easier to find and turn over for a profit than legitimately obtained loot. On top of that, given how much Skyrim's map needs to be explored to find the Stones of Barenziah, most players will be well beyond the point of lacking in gold. The reward is only really worthwhile for those who are looking to fully complete Skyrim's Thieves Guild collection. So, the answer to "Is the Stones of Barenziah reward worth it?" would be "no."

Perhaps that's why it's so common for Skyrim players to simply mod their way around the difficulty. The Stones of Barenziah Quest Markers mod on the game's Nexus page has over 1.5 million downloads for Skyrim Special Edition alone, and multiple guides and checklists can be found in Skyrim's online community to help find the unmarked Stones of Barenziah for players who don't want to mod their game. Overall, the Stones of Barenziah seems like a good idea in practice. A scavenger hunt across Skyrim is a great way to make players explore locations they otherwise might not consider venturing into, and it gives even high-leveled characters something to strive for. In practice, though, the effort it takes just isn't worth the paltry reward.
