The Sentinel sniper rifle in Apex Legends is facing temporary removal due to a bug that prevents players from firing more than one shot when charged with a Shield Cell. This issue has frustrated players, prompting some to experiment with fixes, such as re-equipping the rifle. Respawn has decided to remove the Sentinel from the game while they work on a solution, with an expected fix in the coming weeks. The community is hopeful for its return before the ALGS Last Chance Qualifiers in mid-October. Respawn has acknowledged the issue and communicated their plans for a fix.

Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford suggested that PC gamers are to blame for performance complaints about Borderlands 4, describing them as "too 4K stubborn" and challenging them to "code your own game." Players have reported that the performance of Borderlands 4 worsens the longer it is played, indicating poor optimization. In contrast, Dying Light: The Beast has launched with strong performance metrics, even on lower-end hardware, and maintains a frame rate exceeding 95fps at native 4K resolution on high-end systems without ray tracing. The success of Dying Light: The Beast highlights that developers can create well-optimized games for a variety of hardware. Techland has focused on quality and has not criticized players for their concerns, contrasting with Pitchford's comments. There is a growing expectation for developers to release polished and optimized games that meet player expectations.

The Google Pixel 10 phones incorporate C2PA Content Credentials in their camera and Google Photos, marking them as the first to attach these credentials to every photograph taken. The Pixel Camera app has achieved Assurance Level 2, the highest security rating from the C2PA Conformance Program, ensuring a secure environment for digital content. The integration employs a private-by-design strategy for certificate management, preventing traceability back to the creator. On-device trusted time-stamps allow users to trust images even after the certificate expires. The technology is supported by the Google Tensor G5 and Titan M2 security chip, enhancing hardware-backed security features. Content Credentials provide detailed information about the creation and protection of media files, helping users identify AI-generated or altered content. Google is a steering committee member of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), which aims to establish industry standards for digital content verification. The Pixel 10 categorizes digital content based on verifiable proof of its creation process. Each JPEG photo captured includes Content Credentials, and Google Photos validates these credentials for edited images. The implementation architecture is designed to be secure, verifiable, and usable offline. Google employs a unique certificate management strategy to enhance user privacy, ensuring that each key and certificate is used for only one image. An on-device offline time-stamping authority allows for the generation of trusted time-stamps without requiring internet connectivity.

The Minecraft compass has been transformed into a functional 3D-printed navigation device that directs users to any location on Earth. Unlike traditional compasses that point north, this device uses a microcontroller and GPS module to calculate the bearing to a programmed destination, with a motor rotating the needle to point toward the coordinates. Users can input longitude and latitude for various locations, making it a personalized navigation tool suitable for hikers and travelers. The project addresses challenges like power management and GPS accuracy, and the design is open source, allowing others to create or modify their versions.

Google Maps is primarily designed for well-marked, paved roads and does not adequately highlight gravel routes, making it less effective for navigating unpaved paths. In a poll, 55% of users preferred OsmAnd for unpaved road navigation, compared to 20% for Google Maps. OsmAnd offers features like a color-coded system for road types, offline map support for entire regions, and the ability to import KML or GPX files. However, it has challenges such as cumbersome customization options, less detailed information compared to Google Maps, and performance issues on Android Auto.
