EXCLUSIVE: Messaging apps alleged coup conspirators used for communication

The choice of communication methods, such as WhatsApp and Zangi, influenced the outcome of a clandestine operation related to an alleged coup against President Bola Tinubu's government. Retired navy captain Erasmus Victor, facing treason charges, mentioned being recruited to find financial backers for the coup by Colonel Mohammed Ma’aji, who introduced him to Zangi for its security features. Zangi claims it does not store communication histories and uses end-to-end encryption, but investigators may still access data on users' devices. The investigation includes evidence from devices rather than relying solely on messaging companies. Mr. Victor and his co-defendants have denied wrongdoing and are challenging the admissibility of their statements in court.

Скачал запрещённый контент через торрент: в Николаеве осудили мужчину за хранение детской порнографии

The Ship District Court of Mykolaiv ruled against a local resident guilty of purchasing and possessing child pornography. The defendant admitted guilt and cooperated with the investigation. Between November 2024 and September 2025, he downloaded prohibited files from the Internet using "qBitTorrent" and a flash drive. A search in February 2026 confirmed the materials as child pornography. The court imposed a 1-year probationary supervision, restricted his ability to work with children for 1 year, ordered the confiscation of seized devices, and required him to pay over 21,800 hryvnias for judicial examination costs. The verdict can be appealed within 30 days. During probation, he must register with the probation authority and cannot leave Ukraine without approval, facing potential punishment if he evades the terms.

007: First Light was originally going to be less about James Bond and more of ‘an ensemble piece’, with ‘all the 00s working together, as they do in Slovakia’

In 007: First Light, characters Cressida Bright and Lennox Monroe are introduced alongside James Bond, presenting a unique narrative twist where Bond has flatmates. Initially, the game appears to be an ensemble piece featuring camaraderie among 00 agents during training sequences. However, after a failed operation in Slovakia, most of Bond's fellow trainees die, leaving him aligned primarily with his mentor, Greenway. This shift from an ensemble dynamic to focusing on Bond's individual journey is a deliberate narrative choice made by lead writer Michael Vogt, emphasizing Bond's character evolution and the harsh realities of his profession. The initial intention to include Cressida and Monroe as integral companions was significant in early development, and their absence enhances the emotional depth of Bond's story.

My plea to Xbox fans of the divested studios — put your money where your mouth is

The Xbox community is reacting to the announcement of a restructuring that will eliminate 3,200 roles within Xbox. CEO Asha Sharma has introduced a strategy to mitigate losses, with Compulsion Games and Double Fine operating independently, while Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will seek new publishing partners. No projects have been canceled, and no studios have closed. State of Decay 3 is no longer required to launch on Xbox Game Pass, which may also apply to future Ninja Theory projects. Undead Labs must decide whether to launch titles on Xbox Game Pass or independently. Players are encouraged to support studios by purchasing games at retail prices. State of Decay 3 is gaining popularity on the Steam Most Wishlisted games list, highlighting interest in mid-sized and experimental games. The success of these studios now depends on community support.

Linux desktops finally learned restraint, and that’s the upgrade Windows still hasn’t made

The Linux kernel maintainers have decided to phase out support for outdated hardware, including processors over three decades old, to keep the system agile and relevant. The Ubuntu team plans to introduce AI tools with a focus on open-source and user experience, allowing users to opt-out. Linux distributions typically adopt a respectful approach to monetization, often allowing users to use the system without financial obligation, contrasting with aggressive marketing tactics from companies like Microsoft. Linux's measured approach to innovation fosters a sense of community and reliability among users.

There’s a game coming out this year where you fight your Steam backlog, and it’s more dangerous the more you’ve spent

Many PC gamers struggle with a growing backlog of unplayed games due to the ease of accumulating titles from platforms like Steam and GOG. Some gamers feel pride in their backlog, while others feel guilt over neglected purchases. Games like Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive can be enticing at low prices, but busy schedules often prevent players from actually playing them. For example, after purchasing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous at full price, players may find themselves distracted by other games like Overwatch 2, leaving their intended gaming sessions unfulfilled. Game Quest: The Backlog Battler is available on Steam, highlighting the irony that players may buy it knowing it could also become part of their unplayed titles.
