1. ‘I wasn’t sure it was even possible’: the race to finish 80,000 levels of Super Mario MakerЧт, 28 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

A small team of skilled players set themselves a near-impossible task: to complete every level of Super Mario Maker before Nintendo shut its servers. Did they manage it?

On 14 March, Team 0% was close to finishing its seven-year mission to complete every single uncleared level in the 2015 Nintendo game Super Mario Maker – all 80,000 of them. Two hellish maps stood in their way: Trimming the Herbs and The Last Dance. And time was ticking. Nintendo had announced it was shutting down the game’s servers on 8 April, and if the levels weren’t completed by then, they would remain forever unfinished. Team 0% would fail at the last stretch of their marathon.

When Nintendo released Super Mario Maker for its Wii U console, it was packed with platforming levels made by its design team. But the game’s lasting appeal came from the tools it gave players to make their own levels that they could share online. The only barrier to uploading was that its creator must have completed the level at least once, proving that it was possible.

4. Airbnb host increased price by 39% after bookingЧт, 28 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

We were forced to cancel when the host wanted thousands extra, but were still charged a fee

My daughter used my credit card to book a five-month stay using Airbnb after taking up an internship in Toronto. After the host accepted the booking, she got an email saying the price for the overall stay had increased by GBP4,000 – a further 39%.

Panicked, and unable to afford the extra sum, she cancelled. Airbnb has taken a GBP1,962 fee, plus a further GBP682 for cleaning and taxes. As my daughter cancelled immediately, it is extremely unlikely that a booking was lost.

The rightwing social network’s flotation, supported by fans of the ex-president, makes it look like part of the ‘meme stock’ phenomenon

Business live – latest updates

Donald Trump’s social network went public on Tuesday and quickly achieved a valuation of almost $8bn (GBP6.3bn), a gain of more than 15% on its initial public offering (IPO) value. Shares rose again in volatile trading on Wednesday, rising 14% and valuing it at $9.6bn. That enormous success has raised questions, and not all of them are easy to answer.

I love when a game properly captures me, to the extent that I’m thinking about it throughout the day while going about my real life. It doesn’t happen very often these days, because I have played too many games in the past 30 years and am becoming immune to their most common spells. When it does happen, it’s usually because a game does something I haven’t seen before – like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom last year, with its madcap contraptions. Or sometimes – as with Dragon’s Dogma 2, which I am very much still playing after reviewing it last week – it’s because it does something I have seen before but not for a very long time.

In the 12 years between the original Dragon’s Dogma and this sequel, the only game that has come close to recapturing its chaotic and stubbornly idiosyncratic brand of fantasy action role-playing was Elden Ring. This is a game in which you can screw up quests by faffing about for too long before pursuing your next objective, where a griffin can show up in the middle of an otherwise unexceptional journey through the countryside and claw you near-instantly to death, where the interdimensional being who serves as your travelling companion can contract a mysterious illness and unleash the apocalypse on your game save. There’s only one save slot, so every decision you make matters. Makethe wrong one, and you have to live with it.

Report claims posts on abortion and contraception have been deleted while misinformation on the feeds of social media users in Africa, Latin America and Asia has not been tackled

Meta and Google are accused in a new report of obstructing information on abortion and reproductive healthcare across Africa, Latin America and Asia.

MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes International) and the Center for Countering Digital Hate claim the platforms are restricting local abortion providers from advertising, but failing to tackle misinformation that undermines public access to reproductive healthcare.

8. Atari 400 Mini review – a fascinating adventure in the land of 8-bitСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Yes, it’s a museum piece – but this mini Atari home console, reconfigured for modern gaming systems, offers a compelling retro experience

To a kid growing up in the UK in the 1980s, the Atari 400 and 800 machines seemed impossibly glamorous. While most of my friends had Commodore 64s or ZX Spectrums (along with the occasional Amstrad or Acorn Electron), I only ever saw Atari computers on cool TV shows and movies, such as Videodrome and Police Story. Launched in 1979, these two models boasted an Antic video processor providing superior graphics for the era, as well as a sound chip named Pokey for improved audio. They were, like the Apple II, seminal machines for young game coders looking to create new types of experience beyond simple arcade conversions.

Opening up the new Atari 400 Mini was, then, an oddly emotional experience. The latest nostalgic release from Retro Games is a nicely detailed facsimile of the original computer, featuring a non-functional version of its famed membrane keyboard in luscious 1970s beige, orange and brown, as well as four joystick ports along the base (now USB rather than the original Atari joystick port standard). The console comes with a new version of the classic Atari CX40 joystick, which subtly adds eight extra buttons, thereby allowing for the fact that Atari 400/800 games could call on the keyboard to provide extra input options.

Sam Bankman-Fried oversaw its collapse – now the crypto firm is in bankruptcy proceedings as contentious as his fraud trial

Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, presided over a spectacular collapse that cost his customers billions of dollars. He argues in court filings that anyone owed money by FTX “will eventually be paid in full”. The US government says he’s living in a fantasy land.

Last week, FTX’s caretaker, John Ray III, appointed to oversee the company’s bankruptcy proceedings, reminded the court that Bankman-Fried had masterminded a “colossal fraud”, lived a “life of delusion”, and called Bankman-Fried’s lawyers’ claim that no one had been harmed as “categorically, callously, and demonstrably false”.

App users for social media site, rebranded as X, down by 23% since November 2022 according to Sensor Tower

Use of Twitter in the US has slumped by more than a fifth since Elon Musk bought the site and rebranded it to X, according to data from app-monitoring company Sensor Tower.

As of February 2024, the social network’s daily app users in America had fallen by 23% since November 2022, just after Musk completed his takeover. Every other major social network experienced a reduction in the same period, but none by anywhere near X’s drop in user numbers.

Apple’s problems have gone transatlantic. Even as it squabbles with the EU over the Digital Markets Act and nervously eyes the UK’s passage of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers bill, the company’s biggest fight is now back at home, after the US government launched what will likely be the antitrust case of the decade.

From our story:

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in New Jersey, alleges that Apple has monopoly power in the smartphone market and uses its control over the iPhone to “engage in a broad, sustained, and illegal course of conduct”. The complaint states that the case is about “freeing smartphone markets” from Apple’s anti-competitive practices, arguing that the company has thwarted innovation to maintain market dominance.

“Apple has maintained its power not because of its superiority, but because of its unlawful exclusionary behavior,” the US attorney general, Merrick Garland, stated in a press conference on Thursday. “Monopolies like Apple’s threaten the free and fair markets upon which our economy is based.”

15. South Park: Snow Day! review – a crude, enjoyable playground tussleПн, 25 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

PC (version tested), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch; Question/THQ Nordic
The show’s trademark knack for satire staves off the sameness in this wintry brawler

The snow’s falling hard over South Park, Colorado, and little Eric Cartman spies an opportunity to miss school. Tucked up in bed, he clenches his fists, shuts his eyes tight, and wishes for the blizzard to worsen to biblical levels to ensure the schools call a snow day the following morning. He wakes to a town in panic – numerous deaths, an outbreak of panic-buying toilet paper, and weather so unprecedented that many fear it’s a sign of the end times. He is, of course, delighted.

The titular snow day that follows is the bright white canvas on which the neighbourhood kids paint a fantasy war, where elves and humans do battle according to rules that might change in an instant with the deployment of a “bullshit” card. South Park has always been wonderful at capturing the bits of childhood we forget about as we age, and with Snow Day!’s premise developer Question Games finds just such a nugget. Give some kids a day’s freedom and some cardboard swords, and they will build an entire universe then bicker about its precise workings.

GDC 2024 catered to the frustrated and those out of work, with cheaper tickets and a group screaming session

Despite the sunny spring skies in San Francisco this week, the mood among nearly 30,000 video game industry professionals was gloomy as they descended upon the city for the yearly Game Developers Conference (GDC). Some were so frustrated with the state of affairs in their business that they organized a group screaming session in a park.

“Those of us who have a job and can afford to be here are going through the motions and trying to have a good time,” said Maxi Molina, a game developer attending the event from Spain. “But the vibe is rancid in the industry right now.”

17. Princess Peach: Showtime review – a paper-thin performanceПт, 22 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Nintendo Switch; Good Feel/Nintendo
Kids will enjoy the pomp and colour, but Princess Peach’s long-awaited star turn is disappointingly shallow

The ending of 1985’s Super Mario Bros, soundtracked by the iconic bleeps and blips of the 8-bit NES, has Mario finally finding the princess, who has been in another castle for the whole game. As the moustachioed hero leaps to her side, a text bubble reveals the name of our digitised damsel in distress: Princess Peach. She gives her thanks, the credits roll, and we bid her farewell.

As you’ll know if you watched Anna Taylor-Joy’s performance in last year’s Mario movie, the Mushroom Kingdom’s monarch is rather less one-dimensional these days – as you’d hope, given how video games and feminism have progressed over the past 40 years. But this is only the second game in which she has had a starring role, the first since 2005’s DS game Super Princess Peach. Showtime puts Nintendo’s pink princess literally in the spotlight, as a trip to the theatre goes awry and she must take to the stage to save the dramatic arts from … evil grapes?

AI is taking performance to the next level in the new Samsung Galaxy Book4 series. With connectivity at their core, these sleek machines could make it easier than ever to work on the go

One of the great promises of the modern age is that – in theory – it should be possible to work from anywhere. Whether you’re working on your side hustle from a coffee shop in Manhattan, or connecting to a corporate Zoom call from the beach in Bali, as long as you have your laptop, you can get serious work done. That’s the theory, anyway.

In reality, our laptops can be under-powered, sluggish to respond, and no longer capable of doing everything we demand from our technology today. If you haven’t upgraded in a few years, now could be a great time to pick up something new, with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Book4 series – a collection of laptops that have been engineered to meet the demands of life in 2024.

Don’t let your tech hold you back from making the most of your working day. Follow these tips to stay connected – wherever you log in

Whether you’re a hybrid worker dividing time between home and office or a digital nomad working on the go, it’s essential to create a robust, portable workstation that can adapt to any environment. Laptops and tablets must not only be lightweight and secure, but also capable of completing the wide range of AI tasks prevalent in the modern workplace.

Samsung has designed its new Galaxy Book4 series of laptops to make the working day productive no matter where you set up. Powered by the new Intel Core Ultra processor range, these laptops offer an AI-enabling computer chip that excels at tasks such as crunching data, creating images and filtering out unwanted sounds during video calls. The Galaxy Book4 Ultra is a high-spec laptop for creators and gamers, featuring either an Intel Core Ultra 7 or 9 processor. The Book4 Pro 14in weighs in at just 1.23kg, but there is nothing lightweight about its capabilities. For the ability to switch between laptop and tablet, the Book4 Pro 360 adds a 360-degree hinge and comes with an S Pen stylus. Both the Pro models boast a power-packed Intel Core Ultra 7 processor.

Whether you’re just starting out on Fortnite or are conquering Red Dead Redemption 2, these are the things that matter – from RAM to CPU

Gaming is all about experience. Whether you’re playing Fortnite or Baldur’s Gate 3, being fully immersed is key, and that means you need a laptop that delivers. Exactly which one depends largely on the demands of the games you like to play, says expert Elenore Li, events coordinator at the University of Warwick esports centre, where gamers gather to compete and play. But whether you’re at the top of your game or just starting out, there are certain tech requirements that everyone needs to know about …

What am I looking for in a laptop for gaming?
If one thing elevates your gaming experience from good to great, it’s the speed of your computer, as this influences how seamlessly you can play and how realistic the graphics look. Performance comes down to three key elements: the CPU (central processing unit), which is basically the “brain” of the computer; RAM (random access memory), which stores data that needs to be quickly accessed by the computer to run operations, almost like our short-term memory; and the computer’s GPU (graphics processing unit), which produces the images you see on the screen.

Honor’s Magic V2 is the best designed folding phone-tablet yet. It feels just like a regular phone when closed but then opens up like a book to reveal a large, plush screen.

Launched in China last year, the Magic V2 has now made it to Europe but not at a price that could be considered affordable. At GBP1,700 (€2,000), it is placed between the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and OnePlus’s slightly cheaper Open.
