Russia has closed a loophole that allowed its citizens to pay for Apple digital services. "As of April 1, 2026, payment processing is no longer available for purchases made on the App Store or other Apple Media Services in Russia," the company wrote in a support document (via 9to5Mac). The change affects all Apple services. However, the company says iCloud+ subscribers' data will remain available after their subscriptions end, even after losing premium cloud storage. Customers' previous purchase...

In yet another year of ‘ha ha dating sim’ April Fool’s Jokes, Discord’s silly idle game Last Meadow Online is a breath of fresh, grassy air.

Haste and Content Warning are out now. Landfall Publishing gave us a surprise double-whammy yesterday, 1st April 2026, on the Switch 2 eShop when it dropped two of its games on the digital storefront. One of these we knew about, but the date was up in the air - Content Warning, which has received a release on Switch 2 and Switch 1, was announced during the August 2025 Indie World Showcase. And yesterday's eShop release was the first time we'd heard anything about the Switch version since then. I...

Open models are driving a new wave of on-device AI, extending innovation beyond the cloud to everyday devices. As these models advance, their value increasingly depends on access to local, real-time context that can turn meaningful insights into action.  Designed for this shift, Google’s latest additions to the Gemma 4 family introduce a class of small, fast and omni-capable models built for efficient local execution across a wide range...

Arrived at a bad time.

I think it's entirely possible that I have not known true happiness since going through the childhood experience of going to your local Easter egg hunt, and finding a facsimile of an egg you can later trade in for the chocolate variety hidden in the plainest of views (but you're five, so you proudly show it to your half-interested parents none the wiser). I miss the thrill of the egg hunt. So lucky me, all I have to do is play Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor later this month, as the Vampire Survivo...

The latest Steam hardware survey cites Linux as accounting for over 5% of the install base. That's not a lot, and comes with the caveat of Valve's info gathering not being bulletproof, but it ia a good chunk higher than the OS's mark for the first two months of 2026.

When Google released Gemini 3 Pro at the end of last year, it was a significant step forward for the company's proprietary large language models. Now, the company is bringing some of the same technology and research that made those models possible to the open source community with the release of its new family of Gemma 4 open-weight models. Google is offering four different versions of Gemma 4, differentiated by the number of parameters on offer. For edge devices, including smartphones, the comp...

As of April 1, payment processing is no longer available for purchases made across the App Store and other Apple services in Russia, according to Apple.

This change affects the following services and items: Apple Arcade Apple Fitness+ Apple Music Apple Podcasts subscription...

Ascenders: Beyond The Peak is a new turn-based roguelite in which a bunch of alpine occultists try to recover cursed artefacts from Lovecraftian mountains, before the world ends. Lotta genre references and parallels there, so let me boil it down for you: this appears to be Darkest Dungeon plus gravity.

And Mega Man is back in the game. Famitsu is back with the latest look at the boxed charts in Japan, and unsurprisingly, Pokémon Pokopia is still on top by a fair margin. That said, its sales have slowed down a little. If you remember, it managed a whopping 114,515 units last week, but this week it's only managed 48,772. We say "only" like that's a bad thing, and it really isn't, but it definitely looks like the momentum is starting to ease up.

Uber is expanding its EV incentive program across the US. The company began testing the service in select cities last year. This is a program in which Uber offers drivers a $4,000 grant to switch from their current vehicle to an EV. These grants are available for both new and used electric vehicles, which is nice because new cars are expensive and could be out of financial reach for many Uber drivers. This program is available to Platinum and Diamond drivers who complete 100 eligible rides by De...
