Two countries have blocked the Grok app after it was widely used to generate non-consensual near-nude deepfakes of women and children. A third country is currently carrying out an investigation.

Three US senators have asked Apple to temporarily remove both X and Grok from the US App Store due to “sickening content generation,” and we are still awaiting the company’s response …

While Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed failed to live up to the high expectations which some fans had for the title upon its release last year, the Xbox console exclusive was a solid title in its own right – even if it wasn’t the Skyrim successor which many were hoping for. With updates to the game still planned for 2026, a PS5 port for Avowed has now been officially announced – set to launch exactly one year on from its Xbox release.

Announced during the recent New Game+ Showcase, Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed has been officially confirmed to be launching on PlayStation 5 next month; arriving on the 17th of February 2026 (almost exactly one year on from its Xbox release).

Available to pre-order now for £39.99 (£49.99 for the Premium Edition), the PS5 release will arrive alongside the game’s long-awaited ‘Winter Update’ (which was initially planned to release late last year).

Now labelled as the Anniversary update, the patch is set to include the long awaited new game+ mode alongside a new weapon type; character presets; appearance modifiers; new races; a photo mode and more.

As mentioned, Avowed was a decent game in its own right though was held back due to fans expecting it to be the next Skyrim-like experience. With a pretty fun first-person magic combat system and solid exploration however, Avowed could be worth checking out when it launches on PS5 next month.

A homegrown favourite with an Italian twist: choose whichever antipasti vegetables you like, and definitely use the oil from the jar

Perhaps you still have some cheeseboard odds and sods in the fridge from Christmas? I know I still have a few to get through, but, other than that, my fridge and cupboards are looking pretty bare. Beans on toast has always been my go-to meal in times such as these, and when I need comfort, familiarity and ease. What used to involve opening a tin and reheating the contents, however, has now become something slightly more elaborate. But only slightly: these beans are incredibly simple and quick to make, with store-bought antipasti adding real depth.

The journalist Paulo Antonio Paranaguá uses images from the turbulent continent to weave a history of the region, covering colonisation, slavery and dictatorship

Its tumultuous past, marked by massacres, slavery, violent domination, coups d’état, revolutions and uprisings, often overshadows another narrative of Latin America: that of a vibrant, culturally rich region where art, creativity and solidarity hold a central place in society.

Throughout its post-Columbian history – the period after Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas in 1492 – Latin America has grappled with the tension between subjugation to colonial and imperial powers, resistance and the pursuit of independence.
