Why developers are betting on Postgres for AI

Organizations are intensifying the development of AI applications and agents, which rely on access to existing enterprise data to avoid inaccuracies in responses, a phenomenon known as "hallucination."

Cancelled The Last of Us Online director says it was ‘the best multiplayer game’ the team had ever played

The Last of Us Online was canceled, disappointing many fans who anticipated it as a significant addition to the franchise. Former game director Vinit Agarwal called it "the best multiplayer game [the team] ever played," a sentiment shared by many ex-colleagues. Initially intended as a mode for the single-player campaign, the project evolved into a standalone multiplayer spin-off. The cancellation decision arose from a choice between continuing TLOU Online or prioritizing the next game directed by Neil Druckmann. Agarwal learned of the cancellation just 24 hours before the public announcement, describing it as "soul-crushing." He expressed a commitment to ensuring future projects do not go unnoticed. The gaming community is now looking forward to Druckmann's next title, speculated to be Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, with hopes that elements of TLOU's multiplayer experience may eventually return.

Bitdefender Total Security review: Tried and tested by an antivirus expert

Modern antivirus solutions have integrated various tools into a single interface, with Bitdefender exemplifying this trend. It features a dashboard for system scans, recommendations, and account management. The “Protection” section includes antivirus settings, online threat defense, and firewall options. Users can enable an anti-spam service for email applications like Outlook and Thunderbird. The privacy tab offers an anti-tracker browser plugin and a limited free VPN. Additional privacy features include video and audio protection to manage webcam and microphone access, and Safepay for secure online banking. Bitdefender also provides a desktop widget for protection status, secure file shredding, and remote device management options. In terms of performance, Bitdefender operates efficiently, using less than 100MB of RAM for its main interface, but can spike during full system scans. It successfully detected a trojan during a scan of a linked Google Drive account. Bitdefender effectively identified all test files in antivirus testing and enhances browser security by intervening when users ignore warnings. The application is easy to install, with a compact file size, and offers a Quick Scan feature that allows users to scan only applications after a thorough initial scan.

Signal isn’t broken — so how are hackers targeting the world’s ‘most secure’ chat app?

On April 26, hackers allegedly linked to Russian groups targeted the Signal messaging app with phishing attacks aimed at senior politicians. These attacks did not compromise Signal's end-to-end encryption; rather, they deceived users into providing access to their accounts through fake messages. Signal is operated by the non-profit Signal Foundation, founded in 2012 by Moxie Marlinspike with funding from Brian Acton, a co-founder of WhatsApp. Signal distinguishes itself by rendering metadata invisible to its operators, unlike WhatsApp, which shares user data with its parent company. Signal's president, Meredith Whittaker, advocates for data privacy.
