Helldivers 2 leans into fire weapons with its August update

Helldivers 2’s latest update, coming Aug. 8 , brings the fire in the form of flamethrowing weapons, perfect for barbecuing extraterrestrial insects. It’s called the “Freedom’s Flame” Warbond, which is how developer Arrowhead Game Studios refers to these live-service updates. The new weapons look good and certainly lend a new and satisfying way to play the multiplayer shooter. To be clear, fire weapons have been in Helldivers 2 since its February 2024 release date; this just leans further into the concept. Players will get a close-quarters shotgun that sprays “incendiary phosphorous” — which I believe is a violation of the Geneva Conventions — and a new flamethrower with longer range, as well as a matching sidearm. There will also be two armor sets in the Warbond, conferring a passive trait of 75% damage resistance to fire. Players will also be able to retitle themselves as a Fire Safety Officer, and paint their shuttle, Hellpod, and exosuits in Safety Orange. Additionally, the Hel

Bumble and Hinge stalkers could track users within two meters on dating apps, researchers say

In a frightening twist, researchers have found vulnerabilities in the design of dating apps Bumble and Hinge which could allow stalkers to pinpoint victims’ locations down to two meters. Researchers from the KU Leuven University in Belgium found six dating apps had the same issue after analyzing 15 of the most popular. In the published paper titled ‘Swipe Left for Identity Theft,’ the dating platforms are said to “allow for pinpointing a victim’s exact location, enabling physical threats to user’s personal safety.” None of these apps explicitly share the exact location of potential suitors, but they do have location-based features. This is so people can find relevant matches within their area. Through a process of oracle trilateration, where an attacker gauges three positions representing the location of the victim, the researchers found that Badoo, Bumble, Hinge, and Hily are all susceptible to this approach. While this is worrying for anyone, the team reached out to the compa

US claims TikTok sent user data on abortion and gun control to China

The U.S. Department of Justice has claimed that TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, have gathered “bulk” data on users’ views on gun control, abortion, and religion, and sent it to China. The information was reportedly collected through an internal communication tool called Lark. In a filing from July 26, the Justice Department reported that since 2022, Lark had contained multiple internal search tools developed and operated by ByteDance engineers for scraping TikTok user data, including U.S. user data. Lark is similar to internal messaging services such as Slack and Microsoft Teams. However, according to Techspot , it also gathers user data such as photos, country of residence, IP address and device, as well as user IDs. The document stated that one of those tools “allowed ByteDance and TikTok employees in the United States and China to collect bulk user information based on the user’s content or expressions, including views on gun control, abortion, and religion.” The D

What does SVP mean in Marvel Rivals?

While Marvel Rivals on the face of it is just two teams battling it out to see who comes out on top, there are some pretty complex mechanics too. One particular part of the game that most are a little confused by is SVP since there are no real explainers as to what this is. If you’ve seen SVP pop up on the scoreboard after finishing a match in Marvel Rivals and want to know what it stands for, read on for this, and why it is actually quite important. Marvel Rivals SVP: What does it mean? When you complete a match, like other games of this ilk, there is one player who is branded the MVP (Most Valuable Player). This is the best player in the whole match and can be awarded for their fantastic healing, insane DPS, kill count, and more. However, Marvel Rivals also tags someone as the SVP – something you don’t see often in other titles, or ever for that matter. SVP is short for Second Valuable Player , basically meaning the player with that tag is the runner up in the game, just miss
