As a Yakuza fan, I’ve recommended the series from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, otherwise known as RGG, to plenty of people, but it has long come with one big caveat: Yakuza 3. It’s not that there is anything necessarily wrong with it, but with high-quality remakes of the first games in the series, and the more modern and refined graphics and gameplay of the newer entries, it has stood out a bit as a bit of an odd duck, looking and playing worse than the games before and after. However, with the just-announced Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Tiesa twin…
What you need to knowTile trackers have been found to broadcast unencrypted IDs and a static Bluetooth MAC address, making them easy to spot and follow.Apple’s AirTag and Samsung’s SmartTag rotate identifiers and encrypt transmissions, while Tile’s protections are partial and inconsistent.While Tile’s Anti-Theft Mode hides trackers from scans, it also removes safety checks, allowing abusers to plant devices undetected.Tile trackers are making headlines again, though not in a positive way.

The One UI 8 rollout continues with phones from 2024 and 2023. This is happening ahead of schedule, but right now it appears that only devices in Korea are getting the new OS version. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 (both from 2023) are joining their 2024 Z siblings in Android 16.

For them, it’s a relatively small update of just around 420MB. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5, Z Flip5…

His logic is simple: He believes YC’s track record of producing billion-dollar companies beats chasing startups elsewhere. In 2017, frustrated by…
