Nintendo Brings the NES Classic Edition Back

Nintendo has decided to bring the NES Classic Edition back from the dead. The NES Classic Edition will be available in stores in the U.S. again from June 29, so if you know anyone who works in retail you should probably ask them to put one aside for you.


The Return of the Nintendo Entertainment System


In 2016, Nintendo surprised everyone by launching the NES Classic Edition. This was a Nintendo Entertainment System in miniature, with 30 games built-in. And the NES Classic Edition flew off shelves at such a rate of knots that demand outstripped supply.


The NES Classic Edition was a massive hit, and parents tried desperately to get hold of one in time for Christmas 2016. However, despite this incredible demand, Nintendo shopped shipping the retro console to the United States in April 2017.


We soon discovered why, as later that year Nintendo launched the Super NES Classic Edition. However, that still meant lots of people were never able to get hold of a NES Classic. Perhaps those unfortunate nostalgia nerds will have better luck this time…


The Return of the NES Classic Edition


Nintendo has announced that it’s bringing the NES Classic Edition back. It will arrive in stores on June 29, and Nintendo expects it to be available until the end of 2018. That still doesn’t mean it will be easy to find, but it does you six months to find one.

For those who missed the NES Classic Edition completely the first time around, it’s a miniature version of the classic console with 30 games built-in. Titles include Castlevania, Donkey Kong, Excitebike, Super Mario Bros., and The Legend of Zelda. All for $60.


The Return of the Nintendo 64?!


Nintendo has done wonders for its bank balance by dipping into its past. The company sold millions of both the NES Classic Edition and Super NES Classic Edition. And the next six months will only add to those totals. And that’s without mentioning the Switch.


With Nintendo making it clear this is only a limited release, it begs the question of what’s next? I have my heart set on a Nintendo 64 Classic Edition, but I think it’s more likely that a host of classic Nintendo games will be coming to a Switch near you soon.

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves.
