Helldivers 2 announced for Xbox, finally ditching PlayStation console exclusivity by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe In a surprise announcement, a massive PlayStation console exclusive has been announced for Xbox consoles. Over two years after launching, Helldivers 2 has now been confirmed for Xbox, and pre-orders are already live. Catch the brand-new platform announcement trailer above. "A new dawn is upon us. Super Earth is expanding its operations and opening new enlistment centres," says the announcement on Helldivers' social media channels today. "Xbox players, your opportunity to enlist is coming when HELLDIVERS 2 deploys to Xbox Series X|S." Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, the studio behind Magicka, Helldivers 2 comes in as a third-person shooter experience focused on cooperative play. Set in a future society, players take the role of shock troops going across the galaxy to defend humanity against aliens, robots, and other threats as well as 'spread democracy.' “We know gamers have been asking for this for some time and we are so excited to bring more Helldivers into our game," says Helldivers 2 Game Director Mikael Eriksson. "We have so much more in store for the future months and years – and the more players we have the more stories we can tell! The fight for Super Earth has only just begun." Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series X|S will be released on August 26. Both the Standard Edition and Super Citizen Edition versions are now available for pre-order, costing $39.99 and $59.99, respectively. Crossplay has also been confirmed as a feature, connecting Xbox with PlayStation and PC players. -

I'd probably use the word consistent instead of reliable. It isn't that games crash more on Windows 11 (short of the NVidia driver issues, but you can't really blame Windows for that). It is true that Windows 10 produces more consistent benchmarks, which would translate into a smoother gaming experience. Windows 11 requires more customization to make in a "clean" test system. Also, you're likely not wrong that 25H2 will be the last version before Windows 12, but there will likely be Windows 11 version releases after Windows 12 comes out. Keep in mind that Windows 10 got both 21H2 and 22H2 after Windows 11 came out, I don't see why Windows 12 would be any different. Maybe Microsoft will be comfortable shutting Windows 11 development down sooner if Windows 12 doesn't have the same kind of spike in hardware requirements that 11 did, but this is all just speculation, we will have to wait and see what happens. -

Google open-sources zero-knowledge proof code for enhanced online privacy by Paul Hill When you go out to a physical store and attempt to buy alcohol or cigarettes, you’ll get asked to show some ID; online, when you want to visit adult sites, you don’t currently need to prove your age, but lawmakers in various countries are looking to change this. One technology that has been developed to address the age checks needed is Zero-Knowledge Proof, where you prove your age without having to reveal other data like birth date or ID. To help companies develop their own Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technologies, Google has released its ZKP libraries as open-source, meaning they can be taken and used in other projects or adapted. This will make it easier for third-party developers to create privacy-enhancing age verification applications. We heard a bit about ZKP from Google earlier this year when the company said that it was integrating the technology into Google Wallet to help disconnect your age from your identity. It also said at the time that it would be using it in other Google products and partner with apps like Bumble to help with verification. It also said at the time that it would open-source ZKP; that promise has now been fulfilled. As libraries, Google’s newly open-sourced software can be integrated into a whole range of applications. As mentioned, Google is using it in Google Wallet, and it could also be used to verify the age of people visiting adult websites without needing to reveal their identity as part of the verification process. Google has also said that the European Union’s eIDAS regulation encourages EU member states to integrate technologies like ZKP into the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet). The open-sourcing of ZKP could help with the acceleration of the development of these EUDI Wallets. The open-sourcing of the ZKP libraries by Google will benefit various groups of people. We’ve mentioned that developers will benefit as they can use the libraries in a variety of apps. Businesses will also benefit by being able to meet privacy needs more easily. Another group to benefit will be researchers who can use this “more efficient and performant ZKP implementation” to help create new applications and uses of technology. Finally, users will benefit from more private and secure digital ecosystems. Now it remains to be seen how much adoption these ZKP libraries will get, given the growing need for such technology.
