Online collaboration is an important tool for companies, big and small. Services like Slack and Microsoft Teams are perhaps the most successful, but their scope is limited primarily to real-time chatting between colleagues, regardless of platform. Another solution is Nextcloud Hub, an open-source, self-hosted content collaboration platform.Admittedly, I knew little about Nextcloud Hub until recently. However, as a Hostinger client, I noticed the solution was easy to install on my website and recognized it could be a perfect solution for some of our readers.With this in mind, I tested Nextcloud Hub and here’s what I found out.Article continues below You…

GameStop wants to slash eBay marketing budget Morgan Stanley similarly doubted the potential cost savings. “On the expense side, we also think the potential opportunities would likely be minimal as physical and digital business require different cost bases, as do 3P marketplaces vs. 1P wholesalers. To add another challenge, GameStop has already undergone a series of large cost cuts,” the research note said. Morgan Stanley analysts expressed skepticism about “how a deal would be financed given the material valuation gap.” If completed, they said it could end up as the largest leveraged buyout ever, “surpassing the recently announced $55 billion Electronic…

The traffic management sim Mini Motorways is once again asking players to vote for its next map. Developer Dinosaur Polo Club just put up a website that lets folks choose from four city maps, including Vienna, Auckland, Singapore and Lima. The city with the most votes will get an official map in the game later this year, and it will be available for free on all current platforms. The game is playable on iOS devices, PC, Mac and Nintendo Switch. The company says that people can only vote once, but that it’ll be “keeping…

Privacy tools are usually locked behind a monthly subscription, but Mozilla is changing that by baking protection directly into the browsing experience. With the latest update, Firefox has added an integrated VPN that allows you to hide your digital tracks without needing a separate app or a credit card. It’s a major shift for the browser, moving a feature that used to be a paid extra into the hands of every user by default.Keep in mind that free VPNs can be dangerous. If they’re not from a trusted provider, they can put your data at risk or include vulnerabilities you wouldn’t find…

Norton VPN has launched “first truly AI native” VPN for AgentsIt is fundamentally integrated with AI agent activitiesIt offers multi-tunnel support Norton VPN has launched VPN for Agents, its AI-native VPN built for autonomous AI.Traditionally, the best VPNs have been designed for users browsing the web, forcing AI agents to share your VPN and internet settings. The setup so far hasn’t been ideal, with AI Agents performing tasks on your behalf, either not being able to utilise VPNs when necessary or, at best, necessarily dictating your host’s entire VPN settings.Norton VPN’s new software promises to be “the first truly AI-native…

Nwz/Shutterstock If you bought a digital game on the PlayStation Store between April 2019 and December 2023, you may soon receive some store credit in your account. A federal judge in San Francisco granted preliminary approval of a proposed $7.85 million settlement for a class action lawsuit that accused Sony of eliminating competition and monopolizing the market for its digital games through the PlayStation Store. The lawsuit was first filed in May 2021 and claims that Sony’s alleged anticompetitive conduct caused gamers to “pay more than they otherwise would have…

It’s been almost 50 years since George Lucas first introduced us to the Star Wars universe. Since then, we’ve had theatrical films and a whopping collection of television shows inspired by a galaxy far, far away. All those overlapping storylines make it one of the densest entertainment franchises to follow. Figuring out the best way to watch everything in order can therefore be somewhat overwhelming for even the most dedicated fan, let alone newcomers still learning the difference between a Jedi Master and a moisture farmer. With the announcement of the Ryan Gosling-starring Starfighter and the upcoming release of The Mandalorian &…

Watch Man Utd vs Liverpool live streams as the Red Devils look to confirm Champions League qualification in a heavyweight clash at Old Trafford. Michael Carrick’s side may already be guaranteed to finish in the Premier League top five by the time they kick-off if Brighton & Hove Albion and Bournemouth both fail to win, but a victory against their North West rivals would seal a return to Europe’s top table regardless of results elsewhere.Carrick has been a revelation since he was appointed interim head coach of United in January, winning nine of his 13 league games and taking 29…

Vibe coding just got a whole lot more adorable. OpenAI introduced AI-generated pets to the Codex app, its agentic tool that helps with coding. These “optional animated companions” don’t do any coding themselves, but serve as a floating overlay that can tell you what Codex is working on, notify you when Codex completes a task or whether it needs your input on something. The new feature lets developers see Codex’s active thread, without having to switch away from your current open app. Users can type “/pet” in to the Codex app to summon or dismiss…

A24 has emerged as one of the most original production companies in recent years. And while the films it produces span every genre — horror, documentary, comedy and beyond — the entertainment house has become synonymous with a certain aesthetic. The company has attracted singular filmmakers like Sofia Coppola, Ari Aster, Yorgos Lanthimos and Barry Jenkins, who have helped define the company’s creative ethos to the point that it’s often easy to recognize a film as being an A24 production. And its films aren’t just underground hits, either. Many of them, like Minari, The Zone of Interest and Everything Everywhere All…
