Pixel 8 Pro from all angles and in all colors!
For a short period of time Google made the Pixel 8 Pro available for preview on its new Pixel Simulator service, where you can see the company's devices from all sides. Dylan Roussel was the first to discover this.
Naturally, the company quickly shut the shop, but the internet remembers everything. This post is accompanied by images of the device in three different colors: Sky (bluish), Porcelain (beige) and Licorice (gray). These renders confirm the presence of a temperature sensor and a SIM card tray, rumors about the absence of which were rumored earlier.
There is also a fun video based on this simulator made by Brandon Lee.

Rockstar Games sold games with Razor 1911 cracks on Steam
Rockstar Games is known for strongly opposing devs who release game cheats and reverse engineer their games.
Ironically, Rockstar Games also uses software cracks created by the infamous Razor 1911 cracking group to remove DRM from software titles sold on Steam.
Rockstar games was caught doing this after GTA content creator Vadim M. shared a video upon how Rockstar incorporated a crack for its Manhunt and Max Payne 2 games on Steam to bypass the built-in anti-piracy protections that they only added it
Then a twitter user investigated if Rockstar Games used same method to remove anti-piracy measures from games like Midnight Club II which are not sold on Steam
After analyzing Midnight Club II executable, he founded a "testapp.exe" file distributed with Steam game that also utilized a Razor 1911 crack.
He explained that the use of these cracks led to the known issues running Manhunt & Midnight Club II on Windows Vista and later
