Season two of Amazon's live-action Fallout adaptation might have been a bit of a divisive one, but that hasn't stopped it from being showered with another bunch of nominations ahead of this year's prestigious Emmy Awards.

Apple has stopped signing several older versions of iOS for a group of legacy iPhone and iPad models, cutting off the paths to reinstall or downgrade the affected software.

A clearer picture of how hard id Software has been hit by Microsoft's drastic Xbox restructuring is beginning to emerge, and it has been hit very hard indeed.

Meta has prototyped "super sensing" smart glasses that use cameras and audio recordings to capture the wearer's every moment, reports the Financial Times ($). The smart glasses continuously collect audio while taking photos every few seconds, allowing the user to leverage AI to help query what they saw or heard, or recall their day, according to the report's sources.
