Users only need to search for “college entrance examination” in WeChat to view the real college entrance examination questions and answers in various provinces and cities. At the same time, you can also check scores, batch cut-offs, score ranges, and admission status through the “National Government Service Platform” applet, making it easier for candidates and parents to fill in their applications.source

Meta launches flashing tool for Quest headset

Meta released a tool for manually upgrading the Meta Quest system on June 25. The tool runs on the WebUSB API in the Chromium browser and supports Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS and Android. The operation is also very simple. You only need to boot the headset into the Bootloader and switch to the Sideload Update mode. Then connect it to the computer. The browser should pop up a corresponding prompt and install the latest system for the headset. This upgrade will not reset the headset, and the user's applications and data will be retained. However, since Meta likes to add features in an incremental update manner, such a system update may not show obvious new features, but is more like a tool to save bricks.source

Just take a look at the gossip

• According to a report by GameRant on June 24, credible insider Shpeshal_Nick revealed in a recent podcast that Sony is planning to allow PS3 games to run natively on PS5 and is developing some PS3 backward compatibility features for PS5. However, he did not know whether PS3 games would have frame rate improvements on PS5. Although Sony sometimes ports old PlayStation games to the PS Plus Premium Classics Catalog, the backward compatibility of PS5 still leaves a lot to be desired. For example, most PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, and PS Vita games cannot run on modern PlayStation platforms.source
