Gaming VC activity settles into a new normal in Q1 | Pitchbook

In the first quarter, gaming VC activity may have finally settled into a new normal — though it’s a leaner, more selective market, according to an analysis by PitchBook. Q1 funding dipped 3% QoQ to $1.2 billion across 134 deals, the lowest deal count since mid-2019. As early-stage investments continue to shrink, investors grow increasingly discerning, and the M&A and exit environment remain muted, there are still bright spots: investment surged into back-end gaming infrastructure and AI-powered

SmartAttack uses smartwatches to steal data from air-gapped systems

A new attack dubbed 'SmartAttack' uses smartwatches as a covert ultrasonic signal receiver to exfiltrate data from physically isolated (air-gapped) systems.

In case of emergency, break glass

A few observations after Apple’s WWDC25 keynote The title of my article obviously refers to the new UI Apple presented on 9 June, which they call Liquid Glass. I won’t beat around the bush: my very first impression is that we’re in UI emergency territory, but we won’t be able to break this particular glass. Only Apple can, and obviously they won’t because they’re very proud of it. I truly don’t know where to begin with my observations, as I’m still trying to rein in my many reactions to what I

Build a minimal decorator with Ruby in 30 minutes

Build a minimal decorator with Ruby in 30 minutes A few weeks ago, I needed to add some view-related methods to an object. Decorators are my go-to pattern to handle this kind of logic. Normally, I’d use the draper gem to build decorators. But the app I’m working on used an older and incompatible version of Rails. So I built a minimal decorator from scratch, added a bunch of extra behaviors, only to end up abstracting all of these away. Follow along! What I’m working with My Teacher class ha

RFK Jr. announces 8 appointees to CDC vaccine panel—they’re not good
