A free Steam game called Beyond The Dark (App ID 3393800) turned out to be malware that steals user data like MAC addresses, browser extensions, and crypto wallets.

The game, which appeared as a survival horror title, was quickly removed from Steam after the warnings spread.

Sony Hikes PS Plus Prices - New Customers Pay More Starting May 20 - console
(hx) 07:54 PM CEST - May,18 2026 - Post a comment
PlayStation is raising subscription prices for new PS Plus customers in select regions like the US, Europe, and UK due to "ongoing market conditions." The 1-month Essential tier jumps to $10.99 (from $9.99), while the 3-month plan rises to $27.99 (from $24.99). Existing subscribers keep their current rates for now.

The change highlights a contrast with Xbox's recent Game Pass price cuts, sparking backlash and memes online. Many gamers point to Sony's recent hardware price increases and losses from live-service projects.

No full official blog post was immediately available, but the announcement is confirmed via PlayStation channels and widely reported today (May 18, 2026).

Windows 11 May Update Crashes on Tiny EFI Space - tech

Microsoft has confirmed that its latest Windows 11 security update, KB5089549 (released May 12, 2026), fails to install on devices with 10 MB or less free space on the EFI System Partition. The update stalls at 35-36% during restart, rolls back changes, and shows error 0x800f0922, leaving users frustrated.
Two temporary workarounds are available: run a simple registry command (reg add "HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlBfsvc" /v EspPaddingPercent /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f in admin Command Prompt) or restart multiple times to trigger Microsoft's server-side Known Issue Rollback.
A permanent fix is coming in a future update. Always back up your system before tweaking the registry.

Forza Horizon 6 is here and it's a superb new series entry - but what about the technology?

Workers are furious, especially over new laptop software that tracks mouse clicks, movements, and even takes screenshots to train AI — with no way to turn it off. Some employees are actually hoping to get cut so they can take the 16 weeks of severance plus 18 months of health coverage.
