Synology has long been one of the most trusted names in network-attached storage solutions. Whether you’re a power user, a small business, or someone who just wants a rock-solid backup solution, Synology’s combination of reliable hardware and polished software has made it a go-to brand. But recently, the company announced a controversial change that’s raised more eyebrows than praises for its upcoming hardware. Starting with its 2025 Plus Series NAS models, Synology will only offer full support for drives that are either Synology-branded or explicitly certified by the company. While this might sound like a simple quality control move, it comes with a slew of consequences, and most of them aren’t good for users.

Street Fighter 6 is getting another character added as DLC in the form of Elena. For many fans, it's another beloved character from the series making a triumphant return. But that's not the only new additions being added to the game. Those looking to pick up Elena as a playable character in Street Fighter 6 can expect her to arrive on June 5th, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC through Steam.

This is a screenshot from the PC version of the game — not the unofficial mobile one. | Image: Raw FuryApple’s App Store review yet again let at least one unofficial mobile port of a hot new game slip through – this time, for Blue Prince. But shortly after we published this article, the port that we found disappeared from the App Store.In a joint post on Monday, Blue Prince’s developer, Dogubomb, and its publisher, Raw Fury, said that they have “received reports of games claiming to be Blue Prince on iOS.” Currently, the game is only available on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.Blue Prince is only available on Steam, Xbox & Playstation platforms from Dogubomb & Raw Fury. If we do release on other platforms, we will make an official announcement and let everyone know.We would advise not purchasing or downloading games claiming to be Blue Prince on other platforms.— Blue Prince Out Now! (@blueprincegame.bsky.social) 2025-04-28T17:01:52.621ZBefore it was removed, I easily found one iOS copy of the game just by searching Blue Prince on the App Store – it was the first search result. The icon looked like it would be the icon for a hypothetical mobile version of the game, the listing had screenshots that looked like they were indeed from Blue Prince, and the description for the game matched the description on Steam.But on the iOS clone’s listing, the game’s seller was listed as “Samet Altinay,” and I can’t find any connection between this person and Blue Prince outside of this app. The copyright was also attributed to “DogBomb” — notice the missing “u.”I purchased the now-removed, unofficial version of Blue Prince, which cost $9.99, and installed it on my iPhone 16 Pro to test it out. In a few minutes of playing, it appeared to be a barely modified version of the actual Blue Prince game, though with a few tweaks to make it better-suited for mobile, like a virtual joystick. I also quickly ran into a major bug: when I tried to walk through one of the doors from the Entrance Hall, I fell through the floor.Apple didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. Before the listing was pulled, the unofficial mobile port was the #8 paid app in the Entertainment category on iOS. When I published the article, it only had one three-star review, with the writer saying they also hit a bug that caused them to fall through the floor. If you, like me, bought this clone version of the game, you might want to try to get a refund. Apple has a support document about how to request a refund on its website.Dogubomb and Raw Fury have not officially announced an iOS port of Blue Prince. “We have no news about other platforms at this time, but if that changes we will make an official announcement,” they said in their post. “While we investigate we would kindly ask that you do not purchase or download these apps.”Apple has previously allowed copycats of games like Wordle and Palworld to appear on the App Store.Update, April 28th: The Blue Prince iOS clone we found was removed from the App Store.

As the Windows 10 end-of-support date looms in the distance, Microsoft would really, really prefer that you upgrade to Windows 11 already. The company has already tried convincing people that TPM 2.0 is worth the trouble of upgrading for, and now, Microsoft is trying a new strategy: selling its Copilot+ PC.

Coming from a coding background, I've spent considerable time using the Vim editor because of its efficiency, modal editing, lightweight, and highly customizable options. Vim taught me a lot. It was awkward to use at first, but then it reshaped the way I write and edit, helping me adapt the keyboard-focused workflow by eliminating the dependency on the mouse.

Kickstarter is launching a new “Tariff Manager” tool that will allow creators to apply a surcharge to projects after their campaign has ended, as spotted earlier by 404 Media. The tool is supposed to help creators deal with “rising costs” and import fees as a result of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs.If a creator’s project is affected by tariffs, they can submit a request through Kickstarter and then apply per-item surcharges to backers with US shipping addresses. Kickstarter will include the extra fee in a separate line on a backer’s payment page. The platform says the tool is “weeks away” from rolling out.“We understand that asking backers to pay an additional fee — especially after a campaign has ended — can be sensitive,” Kickstarter writes. Backers who decide not to pay the fee will have to reach out to creators directly to come up with a solution, such as adjusting their pledge or getting a refund, according to Kickstarter.Larger campaigns have addressed the tariffs head-on, like the one for Peak Design’s Roller Pro Carry-On, which says it has “made the decision to not add any additional tariff charges to your pledges.” But this campaign has received more than $13 million in pledges, and smaller projects might not be able to cover import fees with pledges alone. Several Kickstarter board game projects, such as ones led by Curt Covert and Gap Closer Games, have already warned backers that tariffs could result in delays or higher prices, as reported by Fast Company.

Despite its fair share of controversy, Nvidia's recent RTX 5060 Ti is a solid GPU, assuming you spring for the 16GB model and can find a model near list price. It's certainly one of the most impressive GPUs Nvidia has released this generation, but it faces some stiff competition from AMD. No, I'm not talking about the RX 9070 XT, which is next to impossible to find at list price. I'm talking about last-gen's RX 7800 XT.

Sometimes, it takes Microsoft a little while to get around to fixing that one bug that has annoyed you for years now. It even has a habit of re-adding bugs that went away 20 years ago with a new Windows 11 update. If you've been using Windows for a while, you may recall that File Explorer became a little sluggish around the Windows 8.1 era and has remained that way ever since.

When I started laser engraving, I expected a learning curve — but not the kind that would waste entire afternoons. Many of the mistakes I made seemed small at the time, but they ruined projects or forced me to start from scratch. These five missteps were the most frustrating because they were avoidable once I knew what to look for. Learning from my experience could save you a lot of time and headaches if you’re diving into laser engraving.

The Raspberry Pi is a fine SBC, but it's by no means the only one out there. There are other options available that do different things, and while there isn't a "best in class" board, they all do something the others can't, which makes it handy for picking one to fit your specific project.

The power elites have a Signal group chat, too - and the ones that seem to be reshaping the government, according to a recent report, are the ones Marc Andreessen created to bring the American right wing and the technocracy together.Semafor's Ben Smith published a massive article on Monday detailing an ecosystem of private, disappearing group chats between hundreds of powerful Silicon Valley figures and high-profile right-wing pundits and academics. Though Smith himself was unable to get many of the texts - they were all set to "disappearing" mode - several members of the groups shared details of the nature of the chats, some of them on the record, while other members have described the chats on podcasts and blogs.The existence of private Signal group chats for extremely powerful people has only become public knowledge after the White House accidentally added a journalist to one, but they have, apparently, existed for years. This particular network, spawned by venture capitalist Marc Andreessen beginning in 2018, has become the backbone of the technocratic right currently gaining dominance in Washington. These chats were known for holding nothing back between its participants: …Read the full story at The Verge.
