January 4th’s answer is not the easiest to solve, even though it is often used in daily conversation.

In yet another blow to China as it attempts to maintain a path towards self-reliance, Dutch-based lithography systems manufacturer ASML has revoked shipments of some of its DUV machines thanks to a request brought forward by the Biden administration. The export ban for such equipment was supposed to come into effect after a few weeks, which would have given China a little breathing room to procure sufficient machinery to continue mass producing chips for various applications, but the U.S. had other plans.

The recent Apple Watch sales ban in the U.S. was thanks to the efforts of Masimo, a health technology firm that claims Apple uses stolen technology in its latest smartwatch models.

It’s a common trope in role-playing games for the protagonist to have a party that follows them around, bolsters their skills in combat, and provides different perspectives on the world. Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is no exception; as the titular Rogue Trader I can take a retinue with me wherever I go. This can include a rare, trusted few, or I could go hog wild and recruit smugglers, criminals, dangerous psykers, and mysterious xenos.

December 26th’s answer might not be the most difficult to solve as it is an object we use daily. While this invention has been around for a while, there is still a chance you might not be able to figure out the answer in six attempts if you aren’t careful.

It's a great feeling when you find a new nightly game—something you want to sit down and play for an hour or two every evening after a long day. A couple weeks ago I found my newest obsession: Balatro, a roguelike deckbuilder that uses poker rules (and then utterly shatters those rules). Since I found it, not a night has gone by that I haven't played at least a few hands of Balatro, and when I'm not playing it I'm often watching videos of other people playing it. 

December was full of video game reveals, both big and small. But easily, the biggest announcement of the lot was the reveal of GTA 6. Sure, it was technically “first revealed” in 2022 after that huge leak happened, which led to a certain person being put in a “hospital prison” for “life,” but that wasn’t the true unveiling. That happened by Rockstar Games themselves, and the trailer was so popular it broke YouTube records! Unlike certain other companies, Rockstar made it clear within the trailer that the title won’t arrive until 2025. But if you think that prevented players from doing certain things to show their excitement for the game? You don’t know gamers.

Few works of historical fiction have been so imaginative in premise, yet so dull and lackluster in execution. Freud’s Last Session puts a powerhouse pair of actors, Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode, in the shoes of two renowned real-life figures, Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis, as they engage in theological debate. But the resultant conversation, based on the play of the same name by Mark St. Germain (who co-wrote the screenplay with director Matthew Brown), would be laughed out of a high school philosophy club. Despite the caliber of its performers — especially Hopkins, who’s in the most fascinating phase of his career with works like The Father and One Life — Brown’s film is an utter dud.

Regulators of the Chinese Communist Party have come down hard on several key pieces in the live service model, leading to spiralling shares for major players in the market as investors scramble to assess the damage.

If you are trying to solve December 22nd’s answer, it might be prudent to use attempts that contain multiple vowels. While the answer isn’t too complicated, and we were able to solve it in about four attempts, some players might not be as lucky and could be stuck on their last attempt. It is better to refer to some hints for such situations, as it might just help you solve the puzzle without losing your daily streak.

Have you or someone you know been a victim of fraud? If so, that's not unusual. The UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported a rise of 25 per cent in the number of fraud offences in 2021 compared to 2020 in the UK. Representing over 40 per cent of all crimes against individuals, fraud is the most common crime in the UK.

The Indian Telecommunications Bill 2023, also known as the Telecom Bill 2023, was tabled by the Union Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw earlier today, and it has been passed by the Lok Sabha. The bill, which seeks to supersede the existing regulations, was presented and cleared during the Winter Session of Parliament. The new legislation is intended to serve as a replacement for three existing Acts: the Indian Telegraph Act of 1885, the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1933, and the Telegraph Wires (Unlawful Possession) Act of 1950. The bill grants the government more power over telecom services in the interest of national security. Let us take a look at the major highlights of the bill and how it may shape the telecom industry in the coming years.

In a significant move today,  the Lok Sabha has cleared the Telecom Bill 2023, laying the foundation for some far-reaching changes and even the transformation of the sector. The bill allows the government to temporarily take control of telecom services in the interest of national security. Not just that, in a huge move away from yesteryears, it also provided a non-auction route for the allocation of satellite spectrum. Significantly, the bill also allows the Centre to take possession of a telecom network in case of any public emergency or in the interest of public safety. It also provides for stopping transmission and even intercepting of messages in case of public emergency, in the interest of the public, to prevent incitement for committing offence. "The bill will promote structural reforms in the telecom sector," said Union Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. 

In Flesh and Blood’s latest expansion, Heavy Hitters, the trading card game introduces a brand-new hero named Betsy. Set against the backdrop of a fight club known as Rathe’s Death Match Arena, few competitors elicit the kind of fear and respect that she does. While other fighters have come and gone over the years, Betsy was born to this life — raised in the arena’s shadows. She embodies the determination, hedonism, and excitement that make its gladiatorial spectacle the only place where combatants can be guaranteed to win big or lose it all. Those odds are an excellent match for her signature mechanic, called wager, which invites players to bet against their opponents for increasingly complex and rewarding combat encounters.

The Finals developer Embark Studios has shut down a frequent request from its community to introduce region locking to combat cheating in the hot new FPS. 

Patch 28.2.3 is a data-only patch going live today with updates to Standard and Battlegrounds. This patch is our last scheduled patch for the year, and our aim is to make the most fun patch we can for the holiday break. We hope you enjoy and we’ll see you in the Tavern—and in the new year!

The Finals won't receive a content roadmap because Embark Studios doesn't want to overpromise, its creative director has explained.

Quordle 694 answer for December 19: As we near Christmas, Quordle seems to be in a festive mood as well. And probably that's why today's puzzle is not as difficult as we have seen in recent times. Quordle can be mercilessly difficult when it wants to and for the majority of the previous week, it was. However, since yesterday, the difficulty level has drastically reduced, giving even the casual players hope to build up their streak. But do remember that just because it is an easy puzzle, you should not take it lightly. You will still have to use the right strategy to figure out the words. And if you are struggling, then you should check these Quordle hints and clues to guide yourself in the right direction. If you need some extra assistance, just go to the bottom to check the solutions too.

For the past week, I’ve been watching Goodreads drama happen in what feels like slow motion. Debut author Cait Corrain admitted to fabricating at least six Goodreads user accounts, and leaving negative reviews (including one-star ratings) of other debut authors’ books — many of whom were authors of color. On Monday, her publisher dropped her book Crown of Starlight, and Corrain posted a mea culpa on X (formerly Twitter).

As if anyone needed another reason to play Baldur's Gate 3 again, the recently released Honour Mode provides as good an incentive as any, especially for masochists. Veterans of Tactition, formerly the most difficult in the game, are finding Honour Mode — where a story-focused run will last regular players around 50 hours — to be a different beast entirely.

Is it just me, or is anyone else feeling pretty worn out by all the multiverses in movies these days? From the MCU to the DCU, from ‘Oscar-worthy-cinema’ to Spider-Verses, it really does look like the concept has been done to death. Though that hasn’t stopped multiverses from creeping into video gamedom too, we’ve seen the introduction – or perhaps continuation? – of the Remedy-verse in Alan Wake II, and now there’s Trinity Fusion; a rogue-lite that tasks its hero and her parallel selves with saving the multiverse.

God of War: Ragnarok - Valhalla may be a roguelite take on the formula of the base game, but many are the mechanics seen in the main adventure that made the jump into the expansion with a couple of tweaks.

To solve December 15th’s answer, you will have to use words that contain multiple vowels to have a good start. However, that might not be enough, as the word might stump a few players if they keep using random attempts after that. While this method is fine for easier words, today’s answer requires a bit more strategy than usual.

The time of the Winter Convergence is near. Where the sky lights up in brilliant colors, mysterious rocks fall to the ground, and people spread presents and cheer across the island.

Eiyuden Chronicle was first unveiled three and a half years ago, but players haven’t had many opportunities to get their hands on this fabled RPG.

Remember when people were licking the game cartridges from their Nintendo Switches back in 2017? The actual company had to make a post on their support page telling people to not do that.

Stop me if you've heard this one before. The longer you play this Bethesda RPG, the more unstable it becomes. Am I talking about Oblivion's reference bug, or Skyrim's PS3 lag bug? (That's our brand director Tim Clark there holding Bethesda's feet to the fire on the latter.) Nope, I'm talking about Starfield, where players who have racked up hundreds of hours—not that uncommon in a Bethesda RPG—are experiencing more crashes the longer they play.
