Two human rights groups have filed a legal complaint with the UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) in an attempt to quash the UK government's demand for Apple to allow backdoor access to its encrypted data (via Financial Times). Earlier this year, the UK government invoked the Investigatory Powers Act to demand that Apple create a backdoor granting secret access to encrypted user data stored in iCloud globally. However, Apple refused to comply. In response, rather than granting the requested...

It's both a great and bad week for Apple. In this episode, we dive into Devindra's review of the excellent M4-equipped MacBook Air (and briefly chat about the new Mac Studio). We also discuss Apple's surprise announcement that it's delaying its smarter, AI-infused Siri, which may not arrive until next year. Did Apple over-promise last year, or is it wise to hold off on advanced AI features until they're ready? After all, Apple doesn't want a fiasco like Microsoft's Recall announcement. Listen be...

Spoiler shields, activate! We are mere days away from the official release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on 20th March and now, as has been the case with so many first-party releases during the Switch generation, the game has reportedly leaked online.

Godot 4.4 was released 10 days ago, and as is customary with such major feature updates, we have a late harvest of regression fixes to offer!

In a lot of ways, Fragpunk is much better than I expected it to be. One round the other day began with a wave of frantic team chat screams - standard, for a competitive shooter in the CS:GO mould - only this time the usual storm of verbal friendly fire came with a twist: "BIG HEAD MODE! BIG HEAD MODE! GIVE THEM BIG HEADS!!!!"

Here's the up to date list of games available on Amazon Prime Gaming for March 14th, and what compatibility you can expect for Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck. An easy way to build up your gaming collection.

As he shows off the new FF14 update, game director ‘Yoshi-P’ has put to bed swirling rumors about his status on the board at Square Enix. A post noting that Yoshida had not been mentioned in the company’s yearly reports recently led to some speculation that he would no longer continue as an executive. During the pre-show for FF14 Live Letter 86, however, he confirms that these rumors are inaccurate.

The sunbathed streets of Vice City feel like they're almost within reach. After 12 agonizing years, GTA 6 is official, and it (hopefully) isn't too far away. While returning to the series' classic games (but perhaps not the GTA 5 Enhanced Edition) feels almost mandatory at this point, if you're looking for something a little different, Cities Skylines 2 modder 'Mega_' has you covered. Bringing some Miami sunshine to Paradox's classic management sim, this is the perfect way to while away the hour...

Fingers crossed for an early summer release. All eyes are on Nintendo's 2nd April Direct for more official news of Switch 2, but until then, the rumour mill is working overtime to gather as much information as it can about the upcoming console launch. The latest chatter comes from Famiiboards member LiC (also shared to the GamingLeaksAndRumours Reddit), and it's all to do with a series of North American shipments believed to be carrying a boatload of Switch 2 units. Get your pinches of salt at t...

Here's one for the sci-fi slurping doomers among us. Hello Sunshine is a "survival mystery RPG" from the makers of Draugen, in which you must navigate a blistering desert by sheltering in the constantly moving shadow of a friendly robot. A collapsed corporation called Sunshine has turned the planet into a scorched wasteland leaving behind only warring mechs and dusty vending machines. "You play the final employee," say developers Red Thread Games. "Walk in the shadow of a giant robot during the ...

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hath been Patched, Adorning the Right Goode RPG with the Wondrous Art of Barbering and the Dark Science of Steamworks Modding, together with Sundry Fixes for Quests, Crashing and Performance Problems, Skills and NPC Behavioure. Yes, I'm aware the previous sentence can't work out which century it's in. In a perfect world I'd have had the time to dig out a medieval dictionary and translate this introduction into proper 14th century English. As it is, you'll have to make...

Apple says it will add support for a new Rich Communication Services (RCS) specification that includes end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for messages sent over the protocol in future software updates. "End-to-end encryption is a powerful privacy and security technology that iMessage has supported since the beginning, and now we are pleased to have helped lead a cross industry effort to bring end-to-end encryption to the RCS Universal Profile published by the GSMA," said an Apple spokesperson.

Here's one I missed from earlier this week. KDE developer Nate Graham announced the formation of an open source consultancy company called Techpaladin Software, with their first client being Valve to continue improving the Steam Deck desktop mode which uses KDE Plasma.

Prepare yourself for the unhinged nature of community notes.

I'm not sure how much more they can polish this proverbial poop.

Most notably, is the removal of trade tokens - with this update scheduled to be implemented by the "end of autumn 2025".
