Signal is an encrypted messaging application owned by the nonprofit Signal Foundation, known for its end-to-end encryption. The app has drawn attention in a controversy in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, involving allegations that school board members used Signal to communicate after being instructed to retain records related to a Sunshine Act lawsuit. This has raised concerns about the potential destruction of evidence, as Signal's auto-delete feature may violate federal record retention laws. Additionally, during the Trump administration, Mike Waltz inadvertently included a journalist in a Signal chat discussing a military strike, raising questions about the appropriateness of using commercial messaging for sensitive government communications. The use of auto-deleting messages has sparked debate regarding public accountability and compliance with the Presidential Records Act, as many records must be retained for a minimum of two years.

Red Thread Games, led by Ragnar Tørnquist, is set to release a new game titled Hello Sunshine, which is a survival sandbox set in a post-apocalyptic desert. Players will navigate the landscape with a giant war-bot, requiring them to stay in its shadow during the day to avoid the sun and seek warmth at night when the robot powers down. The game features an evolving relationship between the player and the robot, with challenges from hostile drones and mecha-crabs, as well as opportunities to repair friendly drones. There is potential for cooperative gameplay, possibly allowing a second player to control the robot, creating an asymmetric co-op experience. The game is available for wishlisting on Steam.

Apollo and Artemis are server and client applications designed for streaming visuals from a gaming PC to a smartphone while allowing input from the smartphone. Apollo is installed on the gaming PC and includes a virtual display feature, while Artemis is installed on the smartphone. Both applications are forks of Sunshine and Moonlight, with Apollo offering automatic adjustments for resolution, refresh rate, and aspect ratio. To set up Apollo, users must download and install the Apollo.exe file on a Windows machine, create a password, and access the web UI. For Artemis, users download the APK file, connect to the same WLAN as the Apollo server, and enter a pin displayed on the smartphone into the Apollo web UI. The setup is currently limited to Windows PCs and Android smartphones, and while it can work with Moonlight, the developer plans to move away from Sunshine and Moonlight in the future.

Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) was introduced in Windows 10 in May 2020 and is also available in Windows 11. It offloads scheduling tasks to the GPU, improving processing efficiency by reducing CPU bottlenecks. HAGS can be enabled by users with compatible hardware through the Graphics Settings menu, but it is turned off by default. Some applications, like OBS and Sunshine, recommend disabling HAGS to avoid performance issues, particularly with NVIDIA's NVENC encoder. Users have reported problems with certain games, such as Valorant, when HAGS is enabled. HAGS is essential for features like frame generation in DLSS 3, and users are advised to test its impact on their systems.
