The president of Signal defended the messaging app’s security on Wednesday after top Trump administration officials mistakenly included a journalist in an encrypted chatroom they used to discuss looming US military action against Yemen’s Houthis.Signal’s Meredith Whittaker did not directly address the blunder, which Democratic lawmakers have said was a breach of US national security. But she described the app as the “gold standard in private comms” in a post on X, which outlined Signal’s security advantages over Meta’s WhatsApp messaging app.”We’re open source, nonprofit, and we develop and apply (end-to-end encryption) and privacy-preserving tech across our system to protect…

Although it doesn’t reinvent the Metroidvania wheel, Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist successfully builds upon its predecessor, Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, to create a potent follow-up. The action packs more punch, the customization allows for deeper strategy, and the world is arguably better looking. While it lacks some quality-of-life innovations from more recent contemporaries, series fans and genre enthusiasts have another solid option to scratch the action platformer itch. Set long after the events of Ender Lilies, Ender Magnolia differentiates itself by blending a cool industrial aesthetic with its magical fantasy. As Lilac, a gifted and amnesiac…

Despite its freezing temperatures, thin atmosphere, and lack of surface water today, scientists believe that Mars could once have been capable of supporting life. No one knows whether life ever did develop there (though there is almost certainly nothing alive there now), but finding out if our neighboring planet ever did host microbial life is one of the great questions in astronomy today. Now, scientists are one step closer to answering that question. The NASA Curiosity rover has discovered the largest organic compounds ever found on Mars, suggesting that the conditions for life to develop could have been present on…

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector uses an explosive beginning to rip the amnesiac Sleeper protagonist away from any familiarity, forcing them to endure a journey through the stars riddled with stress, unrest, and a foe constantly on their tail. But it’s those feelings, that unavoidable discomfort, that push Sleeper into new friendships, communities, and trials of trust that ultimately prove it’s not about the destination – it’s about the journey. Buoyed by the excellent returning dice gameplay, incredible sci-fi writing, and a fantastic score, Citizen Sleeper 2 is a worthy sequel, even if its UI and finale didn’t quite match…

NASA’s much-anticipated Artemis II mission has experienced multiple delays in recent years, with the agency currently targeting no earlier than February 2026 for a flight that will send four astronauts on a voyage around the moon. The Artemis II astronauts, as well as folks following the mission preparations, will be pleased to learn that NASA recently lifted the SLS rocket’s core stage into position, joining it to the two solid rocket boosters in essential work carried out inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center. After moving the @NASA_SLS core stage north in the Vehicle Assembly Building transfer…

I hated my first 10 hours with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I then realized I wasn’t meeting it on its terms; I was trying to morph what is clearly a realistic immersive sim-like digital LARP into the Skyrim-esque experience I figured it would be as yet another open world RPG. Only when I took a step back and engaged with all KCD2’s systems did I grasp what developer Warhorse Studios was trying to accomplish. For the rest of my 66 hours, I experienced near-perfection, an RPG whose mechanics, characters, and world-building are intrinsically tied together to create a modern day…

Availability will be coming to enterprise and education users next week. Previously, Dall-E 3 was the image generation plug-in for paid ChatGPT…

Developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG) have committed to a breakneck pace for its Like a Dragon series since it finally began to find its global audience and the results have been consistently impressive. Upon reveal, it seemed Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii might be a smaller sidequest taking place alongside the primary franchise. That is generally true (don’t expect any gigantic character or story revelations), but protagonist Goro Majima’s adventure is deeper and denser than I expected when I started. Pirate Yakuza will be familiar to those who have played previous Like a Dragon games, but thankfully…
