Hitman on iOS, martial arts survival and other new indie games worth checking out

Welcome to our latest recap of what's going on in the indie game space. One very well-known indie found its way to iOS devices this week, though there are other new releases worth highlighting and plenty of other upcoming games to tell you about.

That's a problem the developers of a game called Trash Goblin — a cosy shopkeeping gam

These are the 6 things I’m hoping for on the new reMarkable device headed to shelves

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Earlier this week, the reMarkable team dropped a playful teaser with the suggestive tagline, “something is on the move.” The clip is choppy, fast-paced, and intentionally ambiguous, leaving shoppers guessing exactly what’s headed to shelves on September 3 at 8:00 AM ET. To be clear, I really like my ReMarkable Paper Pro (I even gave it 4 stars during my review), but who doesn’t love an upgrade? With the countdown to the reveal underway, here’s my wishlist. Wh

Emulating aarch64 in software using JIT compilation and Rust

Emulating aarch64 in software using JIT compilation and Rust by Manos Pitsidianakis on 2025-08-25 I was able to write a simple just-in-time compiled emulator for the aarch64 ISA (Arm A-profile A64 Instruction Set Architecture). The Armv8-A/Armv9-A specs are massive in size, so the initial scope is for basic functionality and almost no optional architectural features such as SIMD. I wrote the emulator as an exercise in understanding how QEMU’s TCG (Tiny Code Generator) software emulation works

The Grammar According to West

The Grammar According to West by Douglas B. West Summary I have been accumulating observations about writing mathematics for many years. These conclusions arose both from writing textbooks and from noting writing errors commonly made by my thesis students and in papers submitted to journals. My first objective was to train my students, thereby reducing the time needed to edit their theses. As the document grew, I made it publicly available in the hope that others may find it useful. I have r

Samsung Messages rolls out ‘Bubble Emoji’ to put some personality into your texts

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Messages has received a new feature. The new feature will automatically add emojis to your text bubble. The update has been released in South Korea. The funny thing about Samsung Messages is that the texting app was going to be sunset.

The most recent update ma

Show HN: Magic links – Get video and dev logs without installing anything

Hey HN, For a while now, our team has been trying to solve a common problem: getting all the context needed to debug a bug report without the endless back-and-forth. It’s hard to fix what you can't see, and console logs, network requests, and other dev data are usually missing from bug reports. We’ve been working on a new tool called Recording Links. The idea is simple: you send a link to a user or teammate, and when they record their screen to show an issue, the link automatically captures a

Uber and Lyft drivers in California win a path to unionization

California lawmakers struck a deal with Uber and Lyft that will allow app-based drivers to form unions. The agreement is a win for gig workers who have long been classified as independent contractors, and thus, ineligible for certain protections that employees receive, like the right to collective bargaining. Gov. Gavin Newsom, alongside Senate President Pro Tem Mike McGuire and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, announced Friday support for two pieces of legislation that form a pathway for app-ba

Everything we played at Gamescom 2025

Europe’s biggest gameshow is a beast. Spanning the halls of Cologne Messe, and with E3 now out of the picture, Gamescom is a bigger deal than ever. The show also attracts thousands of public attendees, which gives the show a fairground twist in places. This year, Netflix dominated one of the halls with a faux One Piece ship, sports stadium, a Wednesday-themed cafe and a Stranger Things ice cream stall. Elsewhere, while Nintendo didn’t have anything new to show, it had plenty of Switch 2 console

Students Shocked by Instructor's Ruthless Response to Suspected AI Use on Exam

In classrooms, reactions to the rise of artificial intelligence have ranged from abject horror from some educators to excited adoption from others. With ChatGPT approaching its three-year birthday, we've seen students and teachers alike issue all kinds of complaints and defenses — and this latest one might take the cake for the more extreme backlash we've seen. As New Zealand's Stuff reports some 115 postgraduate students at the country's Lincoln University were flabbergasted to learn that the

FEMA’s Chaotic Summer Has Gone From Bad to Worse

On Thursday, Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem claimed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency “is much more responsive under President Trump to people’s needs than it has been under previous administrations.” Speaking at the public third meeting of the FEMA Review Council, a group appointed by Donald Trump at the beginning of this year to oversee reform of the agency, Noem encouraged those listening to “be vocal” about positive interactions with the Trump administration

Tesla said it didn't have key data in a fatal crash, then a hacker found it

Years after a Tesla driver using Autopilot plowed into a young Florida couple in 2019, crucial electronic data detailing how the fatal wreck unfolded was missing. The information was key for a wrongful death case the survivor and the victim’s family were building against Tesla, but the company said it didn’t have the data. Then a self-described hacker, enlisted by the plaintiffs to decode the contents of a chip they recovered from the vehicle, found it while sipping a Venti-size hot chocolate a

Turning KPop Demon Hunters into a franchise is going to take some smart strategizing

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. When you watch KPop Demon Hunters, it is easy to see why it has become the most popular movie that Netflix has ever released. The animated musical’s story about a trio of pop stars tasked with protecting humanity from monsters is familiar, but refreshingly different and infinitely more stylish than other narratives like it.
