♬ shine on - choppy.wav Nothing Headphone (1): pricing and availability

Headphone (1) will be available in black and white for £299 / $299 / €299 (about AU$625). Global pre-orders begin 4 July 2025 at nothing.tech and select partners, with widespread availability starting from 15 July 2025.

They're available in 'black' and 'white' colors, which are really 'dark gray' and 'silver'.

"We wanted to create something radically different," Nothing CEO Carl Pei said at a lauch event in London. He showed a series of images of competitor headphones, and said that Nothing specifically wanted Nothing Headphone (1) to stand right out, and that's definitely true.

There are some bold choices here, as you can see from the images. But it's not just in the headphones' looks: Nothing has deliberately moved away from touch controls to good old-fashioned tactile buttons and a roller for a more precise way to navigate media, adjust the volume and switch ANC modes.

The key control in the app is the Button, a customizable control that can activate Nothing's Channel Hop feature. This cycles between recent audio apps, or playlists, or favorite functions without having to dig through menus and screens.

It can also be configured to trigger voice commands, launch News Reporter, or open the Essential Space, which is an AI-powered place to store voice notes, reminders and "fleeting thoughts". Or you can just set it to trigger other functions of the headphones, if you prefer.

The earpads are made with leather ear cushions designed to mould naturally to the shape of your head, reducing pressure and providing a comfortable fit for all-day wear.

The drivers are 40mm custom dynamic drivers promising deep bass, detailed mids and crisp treble, and the headphones come with hybrid ANC, a Transparency mode, and spatial audio with head tracking.

There's a 3.5mm jack for wired listening as well as USB-C for lossless hi-res, and the headphones also support LDAC for high quality wireless audio.

The active noise cancellation system has dual feed-forward and feedback microphones, and there's a four-mic system supported by AI and trained on more than 28 million noise scenarioes to deliver clear voice calls.

Listening time is promised as being up to 35 hours with ANC on, and a five-minute fast charge will deliver 2.4 hours of ANC-enabled playback. Bluetooth is 5.3 with dual device connection, Fast Pair and low latency mode.

The app provides an eight-band customizable EQ, a separate Bass Enhancer feature, the ability to choose how much noice cancellation you want, control of the spatial audio, and the ability to turn on the multi-point Bluetooth support and wear detection, so they'll pause when you take them off, and resume when you put them back on.

Will they challenge the best noise-cancelling headphones? Well, if you already took a look at our Nothing Headphone (1) review, you'll know the answer – take a full read to see if they're a good fit for you.

Commentary: I'm a tech creator and wanted to practice explaining the new tools. Here were some of the results.

Amazon Prime Day is fast approaching, with deals starting July 8 and ending July 11. Here at TechRadar, we'll be rounding up all the best offers on laptops, TVs, cameras, and more. However, personally, there's only one product I'm really hoping will receive a price cut: the Ecovacs WinBot W2 Pro Omni robot window cleaner.

I've been lucky enough to test some seriously cool gadgets during my 15 years as a tech journalist, but the Winbot stands out as the one that's impressed me the most, and one I'd recommend to anyone who wants to take some of the sweat out of one of life's most tedious chores.

I had my doubts at first. Would it attach firmly enough? Could it really remove dirt, or would it just move it around? Would using it be a chore in itself? Thankfully, the Winbot proved me wrong on all counts.

The Winbot attaches to your window using suction from a powerful fan and roams around the surface using a pair of treads. It can be used on windows with frames or frameless glass panels. Once it's in place, it works by spraying the glass with cleaner (stored in a small reservoir on the machine), then scooting over your window to wipe it with a damp microfiber cloth.

The windows in my apartment were embarrassingly dirty (a result of nearby construction work and my own laziness), and presented the little bot with a genuine challenge. Incredibly, though, its 'thorough' cleaning program effectively removed every trace of grime without leaving streaks.

I think the image below speaks for itself. All I had to do was hold the bot against the glass and press a button, leave the machine to do its work, then hold the same button to detach it once it was done.

The view isn't spectacular, but you can't argue with the results (Image credit: Future)

It's very effective, and never showed any signs of losing suction – even when I tried it on my mirrors and shower doors. If it was flat and made of glass, I tried it, and it never failed.

This particular model comes with a cooler-sized case containing a high-capacity rechargeable battery, which means you can carry the bot around your home, inside and out, without needing to keep it plugged in. In the unlikely event that it does lose its grip, the cable attaching the bot to the case is reinforced and serves as a tether to prevent it falling from a height. You can also attach the base station to something sturdy using a carabiner clip for added peace of mind.

(Image credit: Future)

Maintenance is minimal, too; The only tasks that need to be done regularly are washing the removable cloth (which is why you get two) and cleaning the spherical sensor at each corner of the bot, which lets it detect if it's reached the edge of a frameless pane of glass.

You can use the Winbot by itself straight out of the box, or install the Ecovacs app, which lets you access a menu of different cleaning options, including spot cleaning, light cleaning, and thorough cleaning. There's even a manual mode so you can 'drive' the bot around the glass yourself.

The only real negative is the price. It's an excellent device, and can genuinely replace a regular window-cleaning service, but at $699.99 / AU$999 (about £500) it's a significant investment. With the right Prime Day discount, however, I think it'll be one of the smartest purchases you can make.

Sure, watchOS 26 is bringing Apple’s Liquid Glass looks to your wrist, a ‘Workout Buddy’ to give you a vote of confidence or a nudge to hit a personal best during a workout, and a bunch of new Messages features. All that is cool, but it's one of the more basic updates has me the most jazzed, and I’ve had a chance to try it out already.

If you’re anything like me, when a barrage of Slack alerts comes through, or really any notifications that aren't super urgent, I’ll feel the buzz on my wrist and ignore it or place my other hand’s palm over the Apple Watch to dismiss them. So far that’s worked well, but Apple’s latest gesture is taking things to the next level.

‘Wrist Flick’ is precisely what it sounds like – when a notification comes through, you’ll just flick your wrist backwards to dismiss it. You can also use it to go one step back anywhere within the Apple Watch’s interface, or to close out or silence incoming calls, whether they’re cellular or FaceTime ones.

So, say you’re checking the Weather app for the forecast but need to go back, just flick your wrist twice. Once takes you back to the launcher, and another brings you back to your watch face.

(Image credit: Future/Jacob Krol)

It’ll join the likes of Double Tap when it arrives with watchOS 26, which is set to arrive this fall (likely in September or October). Although it’s available in developer beta now, it'll ship with the public beta, expected this month, July 2025.

To be clear, the developer beta is very much what the name implies – it's an early version of the software and is not recommended for installation on your primary device, as you can expect bugs, slowdowns, speedups, and instability. Simply, it's not final software, but rather an early look.

In my quick demo at Apple Park in a briefing after the WWDC keynote, I quickly got the hang of using ‘Wrist Flick’, and I suspect once it arrives on your wrist, it’ll become a daily habit. It’s simply pairing something you’d expect with a gesture, making it easier to navigate the Apple Watch without needing to touch the screen or dismiss a notification or two.

You will need a relatively new Apple Watch to see ‘Wrist Flick' appear with the watchOS 26 update: it will work on the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Interestingly, there is no support for either the Apple Watch SE or the original Apple Watch Ultra, as the feature requires the S9 or S10 chip inside. For some, that could be a reason to upgrade to a newer Apple Watch.

Further features

I'm excited about 'Wrist Flick', but in Apple's eyes it's probably not one of the flagship additions for watchOS 26. There’s also ‘Workout Buddy’, which I got to see in action – this upgrade only requires the Apple Watch to be paired with an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone.

In a demo, I saw the AI-powered trainer speak in a style similar to some of the best Fitness+ Trainers (shout out to Jessica Skye), who were used to train the model. They interject at key moments during the workout: at the beginning to set the stage, in the middle at various milestones, and at the end.

(Image credit: Future/Jacob Krol)

The feature is there to provide a nudge at times, but more so a dose of encouragement. The trainer I heard was very peppy; she knew the day and time, noting we were going for a Monday evening workout, and at the end told me I brought it all the way home. It's a nice upgrade, which, for me, I think will get me working out more.

There’s also the Liquid Glass interface and smart hints – subtle icons that’ll appear on the bottom of your watch face or at the top of the interface, suggesting actions. So if you’re using the camera app on your iPhone, a notification on your wrist might remind you that you can control the shutter that way.

It all comes together for a pretty compelling software upgrade for Apple’s chief wearable, but I think you’ll find Wrist Flick to be a standout. And if you’re keen to have an Apple Watch capable of this feature, thanks to Amazon Prime Day 2025 on the horizon, there’s a deal to be had: the Apple Watch Series 10 is back down to the lowest price we’ve seen.

The top-selling Apple Watch Series 10 is currently down to a record-low price of $299. This smartwatch features upgrades such as Apple's new S10 chipset, sleep apnea detection, a depth gauge, and a new design with the most advanced display. View Deal

What if reality TV made a show that combined Squid Game with The Hunger Games to bloodthirsty effect? That's the premise of The Running Man, which is based on the Stephen King novel of the same name and focuses on America's most popular and most deadly TV show.

If that sounds like a certain Korean drama, The Running Man got there decades earlier – the book was published in 1982 and the first movie version, starring a spandex-clad Arnold Schwarzenegger, came five years later – and appears to be much more violent. And as you'll see from the trailer below, it's a lot grittier-looking too.

"Everybody runs": what is The Running Man about?

The Running Man is the name of America's most-watched TV show, and in that show the contestants – called Runners – must stay alive for thirty days while the cameras follow their every movement. Oh, and they've got a pack of professional assassins on their tails, and they're not pretend assassins either. Think American Gladiators tooled up with assault rifles and hand grenades.

Glen Powell plays blue-collar hero Ben Richards, who needs to win the prize money in order to save his sick daughter. And as Paramount Pictures explains, producer Dan Killian (Josh Brolin) may regret persuading him to take part: "Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite – and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall."

The mid-80s Running Man was more of a straight-up action hero movie (Image credit: YouTube)

As fun as the Arnie version was, it dropped a lot of the more serious parts of the book to focus on making a typical 80s action movie. But the novel was pretty bleak and some would say, prescient: it takes place in an authoritarian US where the economy has collapsed, an elite few hoard all the wealth, resources are scarce and the government uses propaganda, draconian censorship and reality TV to keep the populace quiet.

This is really dark stuff, and it'll be interesting to see how much of it features in the actual movie. I've got high hopes: Edgar Wright has said he liked the original movie but wished the book had been given a better adaptation. And this version has a much wider scope than the original: where that was set in a single city, the 2025 version is a cross-country flight.

The Running Man will be released in theaters on November 7, 2025.

LG, Samsung and Sony have dominated the OLED TV market for years, with LG and Samsung offering the best overall bang for your buck and Sony delivering a premium picture and superior sound, but at an inflated price.

Cut to 2025, and the battle for the title of best OLED TV has never been more competitive. We’ve reviewed the flagship OLED TV for each brand, the LG G5, Samsung S95F and Sony Bravia 8 II, and the results were overwhelmingly positive. Both the G5 and S95F earned five out of five stars in their reviews, and the Bravia 8 II earned four-and-a-half out of five stars in its review.

I’ve already compared the Sony and Samsung QD-OLED TVs side-by-side and the LG and Samsung TVs side-by-side, but recently got to put all three next to one another, with each one displaying the same content, so I could determine which TV I would pick if I had the money to buy one.

A quick note regarding photos: the Sony Bravia 8 II and especially the Samsung S95F may appear to have a red tint across the screen. This is a result of their anti-reflection screen tech, as it reacts with cameras. In real life, this doesn't look as pronounced.

The LG G5's glossy screen has the worst mirror-like reflections of the three, but it's still an improvement over previous screens (Image credit: Future)

One of the things I appreciated about the S95F’s predecessor, the Samsung S95D, was its OLED Glare Free screen, which eliminated mirror-like reflections. Black levels, however, weren't as rich as I’d hoped. The S95F with its OLED Glare Free 2.0 screen mostly solves that problem by still eliminating reflections while also maintaining rich black levels.

The S95F’s screen means darker movies such as The Batman, Nosferatu and Alien: Romulus look good even in brighter viewing conditions. I knew going into this comparison that the LG G5 and Sony Bravia 8 II wouldn’t fare as well as the S95F in bright room lighting conditions, but I was surprised by the results.

Of the three TVs, the LG G5 with its traditional glossy screen was the worst for reflections. The Bravia 8 II’s anti-reflection screen, in contrast, did a surprisingly good job at limiting reflections.

Above are three images of the TVs in our testing lab with overhead lights turned on. The S95F is the clear winner, with the Bravia 8 II second and the G5 third, in terms of reflection handling.

BrightnessImage 1 of 2

Changing the Bravia 8 II's (center) Dynamic Tone Mapping to Brightness Preferred gives it a big brightness boost, bringing it more in-line with the G5 (left) and S95F (right) (Image credit: Future)

One thing that was immediately obvious in my comparison is that the Bravia 8 II doesn’t have the same brightness as the G5 or S95F, and in fact looks dim in comparison. When we measured HDR peak brightness on the LG G5 and Samsung S95F in Filmmaker Mode, they hit 2,268 nits and 2,132 nits, respectively. The Bravia 8 II, on the other hand, measured a substantially lower 1,439 nits HDR peak brightness in its Cinema mode.

Fullscreen brightness was a similar story. The G5 hit 331 nits and the S95F 390 nits, both in Filmmaker Mode. The Bravia 8 II, on the other hand, only managed 183 nits in its Cinema mode, which seems low for a QD-OLED model. That result is actually lower than the mid-range LG C5 OLED, which hit 199 nits on the same test!

This was with the TVs in their default out-of-the-box settings. The Bravia 8 II has a picture setting called Dynamic Tone Mapping, with two options: Gradation Preferred and Brightness Preferred. If you change from the default Gradation to Brightness, the Bravia 8 II gets a nice brightness boost, as you can see in the same image from The Batman above, where Batman’s face suddenly appears much clearer in the second image, compared to the first image. Using the Brightness Preferred setting, black levels and contrast suffer a little, however, so it’ll come down to your personal taste.

Colors, black levels and contrast

All three TVs demonstrate superb colors, but it's the G5 (left) that has the most natural and vibrant look (Image credit: Future)

Firing up a 4K Blu-ray of Wicked, it was clear that all three TVs demonstrated excellent color reproduction. The pink flowers, Elphaba’s green skin, and blue details on the beige walls all looked vivid on each TV, though it was clear that the Bravia 8 II’s lower brightness took away some of the shine.

It was a tough call between the G5 and S95F. While the S95F exhibited more dynamic colors thanks to its higher peak brightness, with all TVs set to Movie/Cinema mode, the G5’s stronger contrast and deeper black levels helped generate better color depth. In the end, I found my eye drawn to the G5 the most.

For HDR color gamut coverage, all three TVs hit over 99% of the DCI-P3 color space, so it’s no wonder all three had spectacular color reproduction.

All three TVs showcase great black levels and contrast, but the LG G5 (left) stands out for black levels, while the S95F's (right) high brightness helps with contrast (Image credit: Future)

For black levels, there was once again a clear winner: the LG G5. Watching The Batman, particularly the opening subway fight scene and crime scene in the mayor’s home, black levels were strong on all three TVs, but the G5’s were the richest and deepest. Next to the G5, the Bravia 8 II and especially the S95F’s black levels looked raised by comparison, although still deeper than what you’ll find on the best mini-LED TVs.

Contrast was exceptional on all three TVs. Watching 4K discs with especially dark scenes such as The Batman, Nosferatu, and Alien: Romulus, all three sets showcased an excellent balance between light and dark tones. But once again, the G5 and the S95F’s higher brightness resulted in a more impactful picture with stronger contrast compared to the Bravia 8 II.

Sony’s sound

The Sony Bravia 8 II (middle) has the best built-in sound system, and it's perfect for action-packed movie scenes like the Batmobile chase from The Batman (pictured) (Image credit: Future)

Reading this, it may seem like I’m underwhelmed by the Sony Bravia 8 II compared to the other TVs. But while the Bravia 8 II doesn’t have the same overall visual impact as the G5 and S95F, it’s still a fantastic TV, and it beats the other two in some key areas.

When watching black and white scenes, such as those in Oppenheimer, the S95F and G5’s higher brightness led to a picture with stronger contrast, but I found the Bravia 8 II’s cooler color balance suited black and white scenes better.

The Bravia 8 II also has superior built-in sound. Sony’s TVs often rank among the best TVs for sound, and the Bravia 8 II is no different. Using the Batmobile/Penguin chase scene from The Batman, the Bravia 8 II demonstrated the punchiest bass, clearest speech and most accurate mapping of sound effects, such as screeching tyres and spraying bullets.

While the S95F delivered impactful bass and clear speech, its soundstage felt narrow compared to the Bravia 8 II, with the sound more contained to the screen. The G5’s bass wasn’t as hefty as the other TVs, but it did deliver a wider soundstage than the S95F. Neither could match up to the Bravia 8 II’s sheer power and accuracy, however.

Final thoughts

(Image credit: Future)

All three of these TVs can be ranked among the best TVs of 2025. They deliver a list of gaming features up there with the best gaming TVs, and have exceptional picture quality and solid built-in sound. Each has its strengths – black levels and picture accuracy on the G5, brightness and Glare Free tech on the S95F, and powerful built-in sound on the Bravia 8 II – but the one TV I would spend my own money on is the LG G5.

• The latest Steam update adds a new performance monitoring feature
• The overlay can display FPS values, monitor CPU and GPU usage, and more
• Valve says the overlay is designed to help players understand how their PC is performing and how it impacts their game's performance

Valve has released a new Steam Client update that lets players easily monitor the performance of their games.

As explained in a new blog post, this update adds a performance monitoring overlay and is "designed to help you understand how your PC is performing and how it is impacting your game's performance."

Unlike the previous frames per second (FPS) counter that can be toggled to appear in the corner of a game, this new feature will monitor frame rate values, but also break out generated frames from Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) or FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) vs in-game FPS.

There are four levels of monitoring with this overlay, including Single FPS Value, FPS Details, FPS Details, CPU & GPU Utilization, and FPS, CPU, GPU, and RAM.

"It can show you min/max single frame values and a graph of frame rate over time," Valve explained. "Additionally, it will show you CPU performance information, GPU performance information, and system memory usage information. These pieces of data can be useful to understand the causes of bad game performance whether that be a slow CPU, GPU, or too high graphics settings that are over subscribing your video or system ram."

When enabled, the overlay will appear at the bottom of the screen, but players can keep the display small with a single FPS value, or expand it to show the full details when debugging a performance issue.

Players can freely adjust details live in-game, change color saturation, text size, and background opacity to their liking, show a graph of FPS over time, and a graph of CPU utilization per-core.

To enable the new performance overlay, users need to go to Settings > In Game and scroll down to the new Performance Overlay section. There, they can change the position of the overlay, make a hotkey for easier access, and more.

Valve also said it has plans to add additional pieces of data to the performance overlay, "to detect certain common bad hardware performance scenarios, and to show a larger summary of your game's performance in the overlay itself when you hit shift-tab."

Microsoft's recent lifeline to help those stuck on Windows 10 – due to not meeting the stricter hardware requirements for a Windows 11 upgrade – simply isn't enough, according to a consumer rights group.

You may have seen that last week, Microsoft made a concession on this front. We've long known that one option for consumers will be to pay $30 for an additional year of security updates (something that's never been offered before), but now Microsoft just introduced some other choices too.

Instead of forking out cash, you can elect to use the Windows Backup app to sync all your settings to the cloud (OneDrive). Alternatively, you can redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points.

However, Gutterman remains distinctly unimpressed with the new choices, telling The Register that: "Microsoft's new options don't go far enough and likely won't make a dent in the up to 400 million Windows 10 PCs that can't upgrade to Windows 11."

Gutterman adds that: "What [Microsoft hasn't] done is commit to automatically providing longer support for Windows 10 or loosening the hardware requirements for Windows 11."

"It's obvious that users are frustrated," Gutterman concludes. "They feel yanked around and don't think this [latest] announcement provides a viable solution."

Analysis: thinking beyond a one-year extension

To be fair to Microsoft, I think that giving Windows 10 users a couple of new options to avoid paying $30 to keep security updates going for an extra year (through to October 2026) is actually a very positive move – especially because simply using the Backup app isn't a particularly hefty imposition.

I can see where Gutterman is coming from with the points he makes, but the suggestion that Microsoft might consider loosening the system requirements for Windows 11 is, I feel, rather a waste of breath. That isn't going to happen at this point, and I think the software giant has been pretty clear on that.

For me, the key point raised is providing Windows 10 support beyond an extra year for consumers, and this is something I've been harping on for some time. While businesses can get a three-year program of extended security updates (if they want that much), so far Microsoft is only offering consumers a single year.

Perhaps the software giant feels that this is enough, but it really isn't – not when it comes to keeping all those olds PCs off the scrapheap. Why isn't Microsoft looking at extending support for multiple years for consumers too, from an eco-friendly angle?

Just a second additional year of support would be some welcome extra breathing room, even if Microsoft charged for it rather than offering any kind of alternative angle like using the Backup app. Of course, a non-paying option would be better. I'd even suggest making Windows 10 ad-supported to keep those security updates coming for two or three years.

What do you mean that's already happened and ads are all over the place? Ahem – in all seriousness, I think allowing Microsoft to push more ad notifications (in a still limited fashion) within Windows 10 would be a compromise many would take, rather than paying extra to keep their non-Windows 11 compatible PC alive through to 2027 or 2028. At least suffering the adverts would have a plus side to it in this scenario, and if you can't stand the idea of yet more ads, you can stump up the $30.

Whatever the case, I fully agree with PIRG that a one-year extension for consumers isn't good enough in terms of Microsoft's responsibilities towards preventing excessive e-waste – and hopefully the company will see the sense in further extended updates for consumers, too, not just businesses.

• Phishing emails "notify" victims of an active $50 subscription
• Victims can "cancel" the subscription, by clicking on a link in the email body
• The link leads to a fake login page where Apple ID credentials are harvested

Cybercriminals are impersonating a popular video editing app to steal people’s Apple ID logins, security researchers are warning.

Earlier this week, the security outfit Cofense warned about spotting a new phishing campaign. In it, the attackers would spoof CapCut, a video and graphic editing app developed by ByteDance, the company behind TikTok.

CapCut is immensely popular, boasting hundreds of millions active users. It offers both a free tier, and a paid tier, which is what the attackers are now abusing.

Stealing credentials

The spoofed email imitates CapCut’s branding to boost legitimacy, and “notifies” the victim that they just subscribed to the paid version, costing $50.

Further in the email, the victim is offered to “cancel subscription” if it was made by mistake.

With many mobile apps charging for their services by default, it’s not completely irrational to trust the email, and rush to cancel the subscription.

However, clicking on the link redirects the victim to a fake Apple login page, where they are asked to provide their Apple ID credentials.

These credentials are then relayed to the attackers, which they can use to access people’s images, messages, and other sensitive data. They can also use it to make purchases, causing direct financial harm, as well.

The best way to defend against these attacks, Cofense says, is to be skeptical of all incoming emails, especially those that require people to urgently do something:

“This phishing campaign highlights how easily trust can be manipulated through familiar branding and urgency. By imitating CapCut’s/Apple’s identity and dangling the threat of unwanted charges, attackers guide victims through a seamless two-stage credential theft process,” the researchers explain.

“The use of a fake verification step at the end is a subtle yet strategic move to delay suspicion and extend the attack window. As always, skepticism is a critical defense—check URLs carefully, question unexpected prompts for sensitive information, and report suspicious messages.”

• A new feature for Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is currently being rolled out
• It will send all email bombing messages to the junk folder
• Most users should get it by the end of July 2025

Email bombing, one of the more dangerous cybercrime tactics, will now automatically be identified and mitigated in Office 365 thanks to a new Microsoft Defender update.

The feature, which already started rolling out, and should reach most users by the end of July 2025, will now send all emails identified as part of an email bombing campaign, straight to the junk folder.

What's even better - once introduced, the new feature will be turned on by default, requiring no action from the user’s side.

Installing malware

"We're introducing a new detection capability in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to help protect your organization from a growing threat known as email bombing," Microsoft said in its message center update.

"This form of abuse floods mailboxes with high volumes of email to obscure important messages or overwhelm systems. The new 'Mail Bombing' detection will automatically identify and block these attacks, helping security teams maintain visibility into real threats."

Email bombing is a tactic in which threat actors find a victim, and then send hundreds, or even thousands, of junk emails in quick succession (usually in minutes, or hours).

The emails are sent either by subscribing the victim to countless newsletters at once, or by using a dedicated cybercriminal service. In any case, the sheer volume of messages overwhelms the inbox and confuses the victim.

The second step is to cold-call the victim, identify as a member of the IT staff, tell them there is a company-wide problem with emails, and request access to the computer through remote desktop solutions.

Once the attackers gain access, they can drop malware, exfiltrate passwords and other sensitive data, or deploy ransomware.

Multiple hacking groups have been using email bombing in their attacks, including BlackBasta, 3AM ransomware affiliates, and cybercriminals linked to the FIN7 group.

Once introduced, the new feature will be turned on by default, requiring no action from the user’s side.

• Squid Game season 3 was supposed to end in a different way
• Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk altered its finale because its ending "didn't line up with me"
• Netflix fans have largely expressed disappointment over the show's climax

Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed the hugely popular Netflix show was originally going to end in a different way.

In a Variety piece published yesterday (June 30) and three days after the survival drama's final season landed on Netflix, Hwang explained why he decided to change Squid Game season 3's ending.

Full spoilers immediately follow for Squid Game's final episode. Turn back now if you're not caught up.

Discussing the decision to kill off protagonist Seong Gi-hun in one of the best Netflix shows' finale, Hwang admitted he was initially going to let Gi-hun survive. However, he said he altered the original outline for the series' last chapter amid the increasingly dystopian state of the world in the year 2025.

"When I was planning seasons 2 and 3, I had no intention of having Gi-hun die," he revealed. "The idea that I had in mind was that Gi-hun would make it out alive in one way or another – he may become the winner – and he would go back to see his daughter.

"But, in the writing process, and looking around at what was happening in the world, I realized that’s not how the story could end," he continued.

"That kind of unhappy ending, seeing what was happening around the world, and seeing Gi-hun’s journey and his destination, I think it just didn’t line up for me. I thought that a better fitting story and closure to the story of Gi-hun’s journey would be for him to sacrifice himself for future generations. So, I had the baby in the story and created the ending with Gi-hun sacrificing himself."

Comment from r/television

Gi-hun's demise is one of many controversial moments that have irked Netflix fans since season 3 was released.

Indeed, various threads have popped up on forums like ResetEra, and Reddit pages including r/Netflix, r/Television, and r/SquidGame, as viewers vent their frustrations over and/or debate the incredibly successful Netflix TV Original's finale.

Chief among audiences' anger is Jun-hee's baby being crowned the winner of the games' latest iteration and that unexpected Cate Blanchett-starring scene that appears to set up a US-set version of the titular, life-threatening game show.

Addressing whether he ever gave consideration to killing off Jun-hee's baby as part of the plot, Hwang steadfastly stated: "The fact that I brought a baby into the story was not for the baby to be sacrificed. The baby was brought in as a symbol of the future and the next generation, the world and also our human conscience, all of which we have to protect. That’s why I brought in a pregnant character and a baby being born in the story.

"There was never a moment where I thought about that, because that would have been way too dark. Also, the baby symbolizes the fact that, for the future, we have to be able to oppress some of our greed, and sacrifice some of our own convenience and what is ours. That’s what I wanted to say and the baby is a symbol of that."

As for Blanchett's hiring as US version of The Recruiter, and whether her cameo has any ties to the Squid Game project that famed director David Fincher is reportedly developing, Hwang added: "That scene was in my mind towards the end of my writing process for the script. I did want to think a little more about who to bring onto the scene. I knew I wanted to have a woman recruiter, because I thought it would be something different and a little more impactful.

"Because it’s just one line and it’s a moment that you get to see this person, I wanted someone who had the charisma that could dominate the screen in an instant. I’ve always been a big fan of Cate Blanchett and all of my producers are as well. They really wanted her. As for offering the role to the particular actor, that happened after we began shooting.

"It’s not related to that," he said of Blanchett's appearance and whatever form Fincher's project takes. "All I wanted to have was just an impactful ending, and that’s all that was to it. Honestly, I haven’t heard officially from Netflix about David Fincher creating a Squid Game. I have heard the rumors of course though. But, again, it was just the ending that I wanted for season 3."

Do Hwang's comments make you look at Squid Game 3's ending differently? Or do you wish Gi-hun had survived? Let me know in the comments.

• The US government is cracking down on the campaigns

North Korean hackers, scamming their way into US-based high-profile tech companies, have lately been ramping up their efforts, security experts have warned.

In a recent analysis, Microsoft urged its peers to implement stricter pre-employment vetting measures, and create policies to block unapproved IT management tools.

Further analysis from the US government found these people were working on stealing money for the North Korean government, which then uses it to fund its government apparatus and its weapons program

Arresting the suspects

The US has imposed stiff sanctions on North Korea which, among other things, prevent US companies from hiring North Korean nationals.

As a result, the adversaries have been creating fake personas and using all sorts of tools (including VPNs), to hide their true identities and location, and thus increase their chances of getting hired.

Lately, they’ve increased their efforts and have started using voice-changing software and AI-enhanced documents to boost their credibility.

They’ve also managed to use a person living in New Jersey, who opened up shell companies to trick victims into thinking they were paying a local business. That same person allegedly also helped their overseas peers get hired.

But the gig seems to be up, as the US Department of Justice (DoJ) arrested and accused a US national named Zhenxing “Danny” Wang of running a “years-long” scheme. The effort netted more than $5 million. Another eight people were indicted as well - two Taiwanese and six Chinese nationals. They are all now accused of conspiring to commit wire fraud, money laundering, identity theft, hacking, and sanctions violations.

Besides actually being paid for the work done (which ironically, according to Microsoft, is often stellar), these people also get access to sensitive company data. They sometimes abuse this access by stealing the data and then extorting the company.

One of the biggest and most destructive hacking collectives in the world is the North Korean state-sponsored group Lazarus, which brought billions of dollars to the government through similar schemes. In fact, the entire operation even has a name - “Operation DreamJob”.

What's new in Fortnite?

(Image credit: Epic Games)

Fortnite Blitz arrived June 18, a brand new mobile mode. It focuses on streamlining the main battle royale experience, condensing it into 5-minute matches to better suit mobile gaming. Updates are planned for the next few weeks, with the latest being showcasing mythic weapons and items from classic Fortnite bosses.

Fortnite Chapter 6 is finally here, continuing with Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 which has switched up the map once again. There's new weapons to try out, a superhero-themed Battle Pass, as well as updates centered around Superman himself.

We don't yet know exactly what's to follow in the next season of Fortnite, but given Fortnite Super just launched, it could be a while before we get any hints from Epic Games. It's frequent updates like these that make Fortnite one of the best battle royale games around. Last season concluded June 7 with a climactic Star Wars live event, before Chapter 6 Season 3 went live across the world.

Here's everything you need to know about the process of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 launching, when the next season starts, and what to expect from Fortnite in the future. Also, the latest on what's been revealed about Superman, and other superhero skins.

When does the current season of Fortnite end?

(Image credit: Epic Games)

Fortnite Super will end on August 8, 2025. So far, no details have been shared on specific timings, though the in-game Battle Pass menu does count down to the update. We'll be sure to provide details closer to launch, but expect the new season to launch after a period of extended downtime.

When is the next season of Fortnite?

(Image credit: Epic Games)

The next season of Fortnite has yet to be fully revealed, but it'll launch following downtime on August 8, 2025. Hopefully, downtime is only 2-3 hours (based on the average times of Chapter 6 so far), but it's worth noting that things have been known to slip slightly in the past.

What to expect from the next Fortnite season

(Image credit: Epic Games)

Epic Games has not fully revealed what's in store for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, but given that the current one only just launched, we'll be waiting at least a month for updates. What we do know is that Superman will arrive in Fortnite on July 11, with quests going live that'll reward you with a Superman Skin and related cosmetic items.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 map changes

(Image credit: Epic Games)

Here's the full map for Fortnite Super. As you can see in the image above, there's still some Star Wars locations like Outpost Enclave, First Order Base, and Resistance Base. The new locations are Supernova Academy, Utopia City, and Demon's Domain. Sprites have been turned into mascots, but work the same way as before, with different abilities like laser-vision.

• Capcom has now resolved the shader compilation issue that would cause high CPU load and unstable performance
• Players no longer need to manually delete their shader cache files to improve their performance

Monster Hunter Wilds' latest patch has finally fixed the shader compilation issue that has been causing awful performance on PC.

The patch is part of Title Update 2, which is now available to download, and addresses a bug that has been plaguing PC players and causing high CPU load due to compiling shaders.

"With Title Update 2's arrival, we have resolved a previous issue where shader compilation during gameplay caused high CPU load and unstable performance," Capcom explained in an X / Twitter post.

The studio also stated that after installing the update, players should find that shader compilation will occur upon initial launch and "will no longer occur during gameplay."

Shader compilation should take some time to complete, Capcom adds, but said that players should no longer need to manually delete their shader cache files to get good performance moving forward.

Monster Hunter Wilds' performance has been rough since the game first launched earlier this year/ Capcom released an update last month, but the patch only led to more issues, resulting in an influx of negative reviews on Steam.

As of writing, the game currently has an "Overwhelmingly Negative" score on the platform from over 17,000 user reviews, with many users citing game stutters, freezing, and the now-addressed shader compilation and performance issue.

Title Update 2 won't be the last major update for the role-playing game (RPG). To stay up to date, you can check out our Monster Hunter Wilds roadmap coverage, which includes release dates, confirmed downloadable content (DLC), future updates, and more.
