Samsung Browser now available on Windows operating system

Samsung has launched its web browser for Windows operating systems, expanding from its previous availability on smartphones.

Why Did Messaging App Telegram Fall From Grace in Russia

Russia plans to implement a full block on the messaging app Telegram on April 1, 2026, following increased pressure from authorities over six months, including halting calls, conducting regional shutdowns, and slowing functionality nationwide. Telegram has nearly 96 million users in Russia and serves as a media outlet and communication tool for various state agencies and military personnel. The app was initially embraced by the Russian government but faced conflicts leading to previous blocking attempts in 2017, which were largely unsuccessful. In 2020, Telegram was allowed to operate freely again, but the situation changed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with increased scrutiny following the launch of VK's messaging app, MAX. Recent developments suggest Telegram could be classified as an extremist organization, posing legal risks for its founder and users. Additionally, the Federal Antimonopoly Service claimed advertising on Telegram was illegal, complicating its market presence in Russia, where it hosts about 40 percent of the influencer market.

Masters of Albion is a ‘Best of Peter Molyneux’ greatest hits collection in one game, but I fear it might not measure up to the games that inspired it

Peter Molyneux's latest project, Masters of Albion, is set to enter early access on Steam on April 22. The game features a click and drag interface with an iconic anonymous sky hand, allowing players to manipulate the game world. Players start in the village of Oakridge, focusing on building towns, defending against enemies, and controlling a hero villager. The gameplay includes city-building and combat, with players generating income and fulfilling orders from villagers. A design mini-game involves assembling dishes for characters like Sylvia Plinth. Players can summon a hero to explore new territories, engage in combat, solve puzzles, and discover collectibles. The game also includes a city-defense mechanic where players prepare for nighttime sieges, construct defenses, and adapt strategies in real-time. Players can load defenses with unconventional projectiles, including crafted food. Masters of Albion encourages players to engage at their own pace across city-building, combat, or exploration.

Russia is killing Telegram, its most popular messaging app, despite fears of pushback

The Kremlin is increasing its control over Telegram, Russia's most popular messaging app, leading to resistance from citizens and regime supporters. Telegram serves as an essential communication tool for many Russians, including pro-Kremlin activists like Grigory Korolyov, who uses it for military fundraising, and Olga Krygina, who organizes humanitarian aid. The government frames Telegram as a platform for terrorism, justifying restrictions by claiming it does not comply with Russian laws. Pavel Durov, Telegram's founder, is under investigation for allegedly assisting terrorism, which he denies, suggesting the crackdown is a government attempt to suppress dissent. The promotion of a state-backed alternative, MAX, has faced skepticism and connectivity issues. Military bloggers express concern that a potential ban on Telegram could harm battlefield communication, with reports indicating soldiers are being told to remove the app. Despite assurances from the Kremlin about alternative communication systems, experts argue that Telegram is vital for military operations, raising doubts about the effectiveness of MAX in this context.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die proves roguelikes don’t need to fill 100 hours

Action roguelikes, particularly those inspired by Hades, have gained popularity, with "Lost in Random: The Eternal Die" being a notable recent release. This sequel retains whimsical aesthetics and introduces a magical die companion, focusing on action gameplay rather than exploration. Players select weapons with multiple forms and battle through four regions, facing a boss at the end of each. The game features an innovative card system that allows players to discover unique spells, with timing affecting spell effectiveness. A relic system adds strategic depth, where players draft bonuses and align relics to enhance damage types. Level design includes interconnected rooms and engaging boss battles, which may surpass those in Hades. The game has a playtime of under 21 hours and is currently available at a 45% discount during the Steam Spring Sale for .67 / £10.99, as well as on Xbox Game Pass with a demo available.
