Horror Maze Game ‘Dark Deception’ Is Becoming a Horror Movie

The next video game to join the list of those coming to the silver screen is Glowstick Entertainment’s Dark Deception. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s described on Steam as a “story-driven first-person horror maze” inspired by classic arcade games. The 2018 PC and mobile title came out in 2018 and tasks players with getting out of a maze filled with big-headed monsters that’d probably be right at home in Five Nights at Freddy’s. (Probably why it got picked up; the 2023 Freddy’s film was a hit

Enterprise-Grade Data Ethics: How to Implement Privacy, Policy, and Architecture

In an era where data is often described as the “new oil,” its management transcends basic operational considerations and becomes integral to organizational trust and sustainability. Ethical data practices, including transparency and informed consent, have emerged as compliance requirements and strategic differentiators for business growth and customer retention. Data Ethics as a Strategic Differentiator Ethical data use is essential for building customer trust, which drives brand loyalty and h

Adapting to new threats with proactive risk management

Unplanned downtime poses a major challenge for organizations, and is estimated to cost Global 2000 companies on average $200 million per year. Beyond the financial impact, it can also erode customer trust and loyalty, decrease productivity, and even result in legal or privacy issues. A 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare, the medical-billing subsidiary of industry giant UnitedHealth Group—the biggest health and medical data breach in US history—exposed the data of around 190 million peo

There’s Now a Darwin Awards to Celebrate the Worst AI Fails of 2025

Stupidity is no longer limited to human intelligence. A new website has popped up online calling for nominees to crown an AI king of making ridiculously dumb mistakes in 2025. The new AI Darwin Awards carry on the tradition of the original Darwin Awards, which honor people who remove themselves from the gene pool in spectacularly idiotic ways. Think of the story of Canadian lawyer Garry Hoy, who in 1993 tried to prove the windows at the Toronto-Dominion Centre were unbreakable by hurling himse

Switch modder owes Nintendo $2 million after representing himself in court

It has often been said that the lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. That truism apparently extends to Switch modders as well, at least in the case of Ryan Daly. The operator of the now-defunct moddedhardware.com (archived) now owes Nintendo $2 million after a recent settlement filed in a Washington state District Court. The final judgement, which was jointly agreed to by both parties, asserts that Daly knowingly sold devices such as the MIG Switch and MIG Dumper that "are pri

Oura CEO Tom Hale is trying to set the record straight about the smart ring maker’s partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD) and data miner Palantir, which is used by defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in the United States and elsewhere.

Citron’s big update just landed, and it could be a game-changer for Switch emulation

Friedman European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, 1998 Abstract Many problems require recursively specified types of data and a collection of tools that operate on those data.

Hyundai’s out-of-this-world EV concept is a glimpse at the upcoming Ioniq 3

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Hyundai is out with a new concept car that previews a smaller EV that could slot below the Ioniq 5. And while the design is pretty bold, and full of what seems to be veiled references to Star Wars, the idea of a smaller (and hopefully less expensive) electric hatchback is surely one of the more grounded ways to approach a d

Christopher Lloyd’s Disembodied Head Comes to Life in This ‘Wednesday’ VFX Reel

Living, talking, disembodied heads in jars bring the perfect amount of ghoulish mirth to any given project—just ask Futurama.

Another Plex data breach sees company urge users to change their password

A Plex data breach in 2022 exposed usernames, email addresses, and encrypted passwords.

Spotify’s music recommendations stink. Here’s how I made them better

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority I am a snob when it comes to music choices. I have spent countless hours in my teenage years arguing with strangers on the internet that Megadeth is overrated, or defending Nickelback from being smeared as the worst rock band ever. Now, while I’ve realized I have been wrong in imposing my music choices on others, I still maintain a high level of scrutiny when deciding which music tracks will remain in my Spotify playlists. Yes, I rely on Spotify as one of my go

These 18 Popular VPNs Share Parent Companies and Privacy Risks

The benefits of using a VPN service to protect your privacy are clear: Your ISP and other snoops won't be able to spy on your online activity. What's not always clear is which VPN service is trustworthy. A VPN, or virtual private network, is software that creates a secure connection between your device and the internet by routing your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a remote server. A VPN essentially masks your IP address and helps keep some of your browsing activities private.
