Minecraft Happy Ghast guide: taming, builds, tips, and more | Esports News

In the "Chase the Skies" update of Minecraft, players can find and tame a new mob called the Happy Ghast. To find a Happy Ghast, players must locate a Dried Ghast in the Soul Sand Valley biomes or obtain it through Piglin trades or crafting. They can then rehydrate the Dried Ghast in water to create a Ghastling, which is tamed by throwing a total of 10 snowballs at it. Once tamed, players can craft a harness for the Happy Ghast using 3 leather, 2 glass blocks, and 1 wool block. The Happy Ghast can carry up to four players, with the first rider controlling the flight direction. Players can dismount mid-air and stand on the Happy Ghast’s head. It can be used for aerial scaffolding, mobile transport, group travel, and creative showcases. Players are advised to build a Happy Ghast station for easier remounting. Happy Ghasts are vulnerable to fire damage and hostile ghasts, and they wander within a 32-block radius when harnessed. The harness can be removed with shears, and players have created travel systems using Happy Ghasts in minecarts.

Cities: Skylines 2’s latest patch has introduced quays and piers after seeing players using makeshift substitutes: ‘We know how challenging they can be to build’

The latest patch for Cities: Skylines 2 introduces actual quays and piers, allowing for easier shoreline construction. The new quays can detect changes in elevation and come in three sizes: narrow (for pedestrians only), medium, and wide (for both pedestrians and vehicles). The Bridges and Ports expansion has been delayed to address cargo transportation issues in the base game. The patch includes various fixes: trucks will no longer visit the Cargo Harbour after deactivation, the number of taxis and visitors at small parks has been reduced, cargo ships will no longer overlap at deactivated Cargo Harbours, cargo amounts in the Cargo Train Route Selected Info Panel have been corrected, and an issue with trucks not deducting the correct resources has been resolved.

UEFI Vulnerabilities Galore

The FAA is requesting a budget allocation of .0 billion for fiscal year 2026, in addition to a previously committed .0 billion, to address critical infrastructure needs. The agency aims to modernize its outdated telecommunications infrastructure, including the air traffic control (ATC) system, which currently relies on antiquated technology such as paper strips, floppy disks, and Windows 95 computers. The FAA has a four-year timeline for overhauling the ATC system, which poses significant challenges and risks to aviation safety. Additionally, there is a need to replace the existing radar system and transition to a modern IP-based network, requiring careful consideration of security measures and operational dynamics.

‘Classic Apple’: Why Apple is taking the slow road with AI

Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in Cupertino, California, where it announced updates to its software ecosystem but did not introduce major AI announcements. The company plans to open its AI software to third-party developers, allowing access to on-device language models, which could lead to innovative software solutions and enhance user privacy. New features include live real-time translation in Phone, FaceTime, and Messages, improvements to the Visual Intelligence app, AI capabilities in the Reminders app, and a generative AI-powered fitness coach in the Apple Watch's Workout app. These updates aim to integrate AI into Apple's operating systems, positioning the company competitively in the AI landscape.

How to Leash Minecraft Mobs Together Using Lead

Mojang has enhanced the leashing mechanics in Minecraft with the upcoming Chase the Skies update, introducing a new recipe for leads and improving leash physics to prevent snapping. Players will need one lead per mob to create a caravan, allowing for easier transportation of multiple mobs. To form a caravan, players can attach leads from one mob to another while sneaking. The traditional method of attaching leads to multiple mobs simultaneously is still available, with reduced likelihood of leads snapping. Players can also experiment with leashing boats and heavier mobs like horses and camels.

After 15 years, Mojang announced an update that allows players to craft saddles using 3 leather and 1 iron ingot. This change addresses the long-standing frustration of players who could not create saddles despite the game's crafting focus.
