In 2010, Heavenly Sword and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West developer Ninja Theory took on the tall task of rebooting Capcom’s beloved Devil May Cry franchise. With Capcom encouraging the team to create a radically bold reinvention, Ninja Theory introduced fans to new versions of Dante, Vergil, and the series’ lore in its 2013 action game DmC Devil May Cry. The game’s dramatic change in direction enraged some fans at the time, with much of that anger specifically aimed at its redesign of Dante, who sported jet-black hair instead of the character’s signature white hair. Despite the pre-release negativity, DmC Devil…

1Password is giving Claude a way into your online accounts without making your passwords part of the bargain. The new 1Password for Claude integration can fill login details while keeping the credentials hidden from Anthropic’s AI agent. Available now on Mac, the feature kicks in when Claude reaches a sign-in page during a task. Claude requests a saved login, then you approve or deny it. If approved, 1Password submits the credentials through a separate encrypted channel. Passwords and one-time codes never enter Claude’s context or Anthropic’s systems. How does 1Password keep Claude out Claude identifies the website and asks for…

We got our first look at Ryan Hurst and Callum Vinson as Kratos and Atreus in Amazon Prime’s God of War TV series adaptation back in February, and though the response to it was mixed at best, the studio’s track record with other video game properties, like Fallout, kept us optimistic. The show has been significantly set back, however, due to a serious injury Hurst sustained on set, which led Amazon, reportedly, to recast the role of Kratos. Deadline reports that Hurst, who gained 40 pounds of muscle in anticipation of this role, tore a bicep while performing a stunt on…

TCL has spent years saying inkjet-printed OLED could improve image quality, efficiency, lifespan, and manufacturing costs. Back in 2024, the company was still showing prototype laptop panels and promising a “comprehensive breakthrough” once the technology was ready for commercial products. Two years later, it has finally arrived in a gaming laptop. Lenovo’s new Legion R9000P uses a 16-inch panel that TCL CSOT describes as the world’s first inkjet-printed OLED display integrated into a laptop. What makes inkjet-printed OLED different? Traditional OLED manufacturing deposits light-emitting material inside expensive vacuum equipment using highly precise metal masks. Inkjet printing places the organic material…

Among the updates are confirmation of multiple Fallout projects, including Fallout 5, and notes about The Elder Scrolls VI and Starfield.Bethesda details the future of Fallout, confirming that Fallout 5 is currently in preproduction, saying it “remains our long-range destination.” This echoes a similar statement he made in 2022, when he said Fallout 5 would arrive after The Elder Scrolls VI, which will likely still be the case. The game is being developed using Creation Engine 3, Bethesda’s next-generation game engine…

Anti-surveillance clothing is starting to look less like an art-school experiment and more like something you could actually wear outside. Shirts designed to confuse facial recognition systems now cost about as much as ordinary streetwear, although buying one won’t make you disappear. The Guardian reports that designers are using face-like prints, unusual cuts and infrared lights to interfere with computer vision. These techniques target specific weaknesses, so their success depends on what happens to be watching you. How can clothing confuse a camera Adversarial clothing takes advantage of the shortcuts software uses to identify people and objects. Urban Privacy’s Faception…

A newly discovered strain of macOS malware is taking social engineering to an unsettling new level. Instead of exploiting a software vulnerability or silently stealing information in the background, it simply refuses to let you use your Mac until you type in your login password. Dubbed ClickLock, the malware repeatedly shuts down key macOS processes, disables notifications, displays convincing Apple password prompts, and effectively traps users in a loop that only ends when the correct password is entered. Once that happens, it doesn’t just steal the password. It goes after browser data, cryptocurrency wallets, saved credentials, password managers, and much…
