Are you a Resident Evil fan? Then you might have heard that Capcom’s been celebrating the 20^th anniversary of the series by selling some of its greatest hits again. But they’re doing it in reverse order. They started with Resident Evil 6 back in March and are working their way towards the game that redefined the series: Resident Evil 4. Before that release though, Capcom is releasing Resident Evil 5 first for the Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4. The Xbox One and PS4 releases come will all the original game’s add-on content. RE5 is the game that first introduced local co-op play in the franchise.

Google Keep introduces list auto complete and other new features

Screencap by Anthony Karcz

The latest Google Keep update will make lovers of the simple to-do list app happy. One of the new features is an auto complete feature. For example, if you have your grocery list up there, start typing in an item and Google Keep will suggest what product you intend to buy. The app also now has duplicate detection, which will alert you if you try to input an item in your list that you put in before. It shows up at the top of the auto-complete list as a non-selectable checked item.

Aside from helping you create lists more easily, Google Keep also now has a preview links feature so you can see what site you linked to when you paste a hyperlink there. The new features are coming to Android, iOS, and the web. It should be rolling out now so be patient if it doesn’t make its way to your device just yet.

Facebook Messenger goes emoji crazy with new update

There are now over 1,500 new emojis to choose from when you use Facebook Messenger. The social network listened to its users, with 10 percent of them include emojis in the messages they send on the app.  The new emojis include gender-agnostic ones, multicolored ones, as well as more female-oriented emojis that include things like female police officers and female runners, to name a few; which Facebook says is its way of making Messenger “more representative of the world we live in.” And the great thing is, the emoji rollout is the same whether you’re on Android or iOS. No more confusing inter-mobile operating system emojis. It’s a consistent experience throughout. For skin tone of the people emojis, you can change those in the Photos & Media section of Facebook Messenger’s settings.

Facebook reportedly thinking of using end-to-end encryption for Messenger

Facebook-owned WhatsApp already has end-to-end encryption activated by default on its messaging platform. And it looks like Facebook itself is mulling over the idea of bringing this into its own Messenger app. But unlike WhatsApp, end-to-end encryption will be a separate mode that users need to enable. The Guardian reports the opt-in approach is being taken with Messenger because having messages encrypted means Facebook will interfere Facebook’s machine learning, which is needed for its recently launched chat bots.
