Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is winning me over by eliminating the hassle of the open world

%name Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is winning me over by eliminating the hassle of the open world by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

I’ve never cared much for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series. I distinctly remember the first time I got my hands on the original Assassin’s Creed — it was clunky, tedious and undeniably ambitious, but I just didn’t have fun playing it.

I’ve given other entries in the series a chance since then, but none have kept me invested for longer than a few missions. I got nothing out of Unity, Revelations didn’t really do anything for me and even Rogue, which I stuck with longer than any other Assassin’s Creed game since ACII, couldn’t keep me engaged for more than a few hours.

So you can see why I wouldn’t have much faith in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.

Mac malware hit all-time high in 2015

%name Mac malware hit all time high in 2015 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Historically, the Mac has been much less prone to various types of malware attacks than Windows machines. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that Windows, on account of its dominant market share, has long been a much more appealing target for hackers. But in recent years, as Apple’s share of the PC market has grown, malware specifically targeting Apple’s Mac platform slowly but surely began to increase. In the process, the types of malware attacks targeting Macs have also became far more insidious and, at times, sophisticated.

The evolution of US military camouflage

%name The evolution of US military camouflage by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Last summer, the U.S. Army confirmed that soldiers will begin wearing the new Army Combat Uniform (ACU) that bears the Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) – also known as Scorpion W2. They are now being issued, and soldiers are expected to retire their prior uniforms by summer 2018.

This means it’s the end of the line for the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP), which was known for its digital-like appearance. Camouflage has undergone numerous changes in the past decade, and the new OCP is just the latest effort by the U.S. military to develop the “perfect camouflage.”
