This data wasn’t obtained through a single hack of Gmail. It was gathered from various sources, including malware that steals usernames and passwords from infected computers, as well as information found on the dark web, social media, and platforms like Tor and Telegram. Essentially, Gmail itself wasn’t hacked, but many news reports incorrectly stated that it was.

The latest 25.10.2 update mainly adds support for new games and hardware. It now works with Battlefield 6 and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 (both using DirectX 12), as well as the graphics built into the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 processor. The update also improves Vulkan support, fixes several bugs, and includes other improvements.

Windows 11 version 23H2 launched in October 2023, and Microsoft only committed to supporting it for two years – a standard commitment for all regular versions of Windows 11. That support period has now ended. If you’re still using 23H2, you’ll need to update to the newer 24H2 or 25H2 version to continue receiving security updates and support.

Capcom also revealed information about special versions of the game, what you’ll get for pre-ordering, and other extras.

Windows 10 users can keep using the operating system after support ends in a couple of ways. They can get one more year of free security updates by backing up their settings to the cloud with a Microsoft Account. Alternatively, they can pay $30 or use 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points to continue receiving updates.

Once the new Mounts of Mayhem update is fully launched, Mojang Studios plans to remove a layer of code protection from Minecraft: Java Edition. This won’t affect most players, but it will significantly impact those who create modifications (mods) for the game.

Grammarly’s new branding feels like a big change. It’s moved away from a simple, descriptive name – one that clearly stated what it did – and now sounds more like a self-improvement program or a software upgrade. Honestly, the name ‘Superhuman’ is a bit confusing, feels very corporate, and doesn’t really say anything about what the product *does*. As a long-time Grammarly user, I think this is a mistake. I often rely on it to fix my quickly-typed, error-filled emails! I’ve always recommended Grammarly, especially when it’s on sale, because its original name made it clear what it offered. But now, it seems the company is trying too hard to appear cutting-edge in the world of AI and has decided that being easily recognizable isn’t important anymore.

Honestly, it didn’t really surprise me to hear Microsoft talk about a bit of a slowdown in their first-party game releases this quarter. Sure, we got *Grounded 2* in early access thanks to the awesome folks at Obsidian, and *Gears of War: Reloaded* was cool, but it just wasn’t as packed with big releases as other times of the year.

It’s hard to compare when you look at 2025, though! We’ve already gotten huge games like the *Oblivion Remastered* from Bethesda and *DOOM: The Dark Ages* from id Software. Plus, it’s been amazing to see games like *Forza Horizon 5* finally come to PlayStation – it’s great that more people can enjoy them!

I’m keeping an eye on this, though, because things are always changing!

Leading AI companies—including OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google—are pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence beyond simple chatbots. They’re now developing AI companions designed to feel like genuine friends, complete with unique, lasting personalities. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman envisions this as a potentially ideal future, describing it as a ‘digital patina’—a comforting and familiar layer of technology in our lives.

Fans of classic first-person shooters and the Warhammer 40,000 universe will love this game. It features a nostalgic visual style, tons of enemies to defeat, and satisfyingly intense combat.
