Cities Skylines 2 will one day be the definitive building and management sim - of this‚ I am confident. Technical problems‚ some unusual pathfinding AI‚ and problems with traffic and roads might have impacted its first couple of months‚ but the groundwork is there for CS2‚ and with patches‚ DLC‚ and mods‚ it will eventually rule the entire genre. Currently‚ however‚ the Colossal Order and Paradox sequel is going through an awkward patch‚ something that is reflected in its Steam player count. Over on Valve’s platform‚ Cities Skylines 2 now has fewer players than the original Cities Skylines from 2015.

Ubisoft is back in the headlines for the wrong reasons again‚ this time for injecting a Black Friday pop-up ad advertising their misfiring latest game Assassin’s Creed: Mirage within Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Multiple players reported seeing the ad pop up when they’d go to the map screen‚ leading to well-deserved backlash from the game’s community condemning the practice.

In video games‚ we meet the most outlandish personalities and the most down-to-earth. As with our favorite TV shows‚ we tend to spot particular traits in them‚ and formulate opinions very quickly as to whether we like or dislike those characters. We might even identify with certain aspects of them. Love them or hate them‚ though‚ there’s no denying that arrogance is in no short supply among the heroes and villains of the gaming world.

Over the past few days‚ several police departments started sharing an "important privacy update" for iPhone users due to Apple's new NameDrop feature. Over Facebook‚ the warning was shared a few thousand times‚ with comments thanking the police departments for bringing their attention to this matter... except for the fact that they misunderstood how NameDrop works. The standard message shared by several police departments read: IMPORTANT PRIVACY UPDATE: If you have an iPhone and have done the recent iOS 17 update‚ they have set a new feature called NameDrop defaulted to ON. This feature allows the sharing of your contact info just by bringing your phones close together. While you do need to accept the transfer‚ if you would prefer to shut this off go to: Settings‚ General‚ AirDrop‚ Bringing Devices Together. Change to OFF. PARENTS: You may consider changing these settings after the update on your children’s phones‚ also‚ to help keep them safe as well! Basically‚ the police departments are implying that NameDrop automatically shares your contact information with anyone who brings their iPhone near to yours. But this is not exactly how it goes. Ultimately‚ a part of this message was edited to reflect the misunderstanding: (...) This feature allows the sharing of your contact info just by bringing your phones close together. While you do need to accept the transfer‚ if you would prefer to shut this off go to: Settings‚ General‚ AirDrop‚ Bringing Devices Together. Change to OFF. NameDrop is one of the main features of iOS 17‚ released in September. Then‚ in October‚ Cupertino expanded this function by enabling you to share your information from an Apple Watch to an iPhone – and vice versa. What does NameDrop really do? When you bring two iPhones together‚ an animation shows they are paired. With that‚ you can share your contact information (but you expressively need to choose to send it). In addition‚ connecting both phones also improves AirDrop reliability if you're in a crowded place or want to quickly start SharePlay session. That said‚ although the warning is somewhat helpful‚ the user must agree to share their contact information – Apple won't just share your data. In addition‚ Apple has worked hard to bring other features to protect user's and children's privacy. So‚ parents‚ don't worry about NameDrop‚ as it won't give sensitive information to others. On the other hand‚ I'd say you should try this feature at home‚ as you can fill your Contacts app with all the data that matters with family members and friends.
