Grindr wants to be the everything app for gay men; investors are still deciding whether it can pull it off
When George Arison took over Grindr in 2022, he inherited a company that had been bounced from Chinese ownership to a forced divestiture to a private-equity rescue — a business that was printing money but also had no real product or business strategy. Four years, a SPAC listing, and a controversial return-to-office mandate later, Grindr has become convincing as a growth story. Revenue is on pace to roughly triple, from $195 million in 2022…

Here at Ars, we're intimately familiar with data leaks surrounding Valve's games, hardware, and the workings of Steam itself. But nothing could have prepared us for this weekend's "terarelease" encompassing more than 12TB of content related to seemingly every title available on Steam between 2003 to 2013. What's being sold as an "as-complete-as-possible ... content server dump" of Steam's defunct "Steam2" server architecture from that time period is now circulating around via a BitTorrent…

Caméra connectée à domicile : sécuriser sans surveiller tout le monde

California court revives lawsuit accusing Apple of blocking independent repairs

How to improve your audio quality on Android Auto
If you already have a perfectly functional cable that supports Android Auto, upgrading to a 5Gbps cable isn't going to make Spotify sound like you rebuilt the stereo. Yes, a broken or poorly built cable can lead to dropouts, disconnects and other frustrations, but additional bandwidth won't improve an intact digital audio stream. Google does recommend trying a high-quality or replacement cable when wired Android Auto is acting up, but that's basic troubleshooting, not…

Not the GameCube, not the Wii U: This was Nintendo's most unsuccessful console
Nintendo’s worst-ever console was awkward to use and didn’t even sell a million units. For as many massively successful systems as Nintendo has had (like the Game Boy, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Switch), the company has also suffered through stumbles. Some of the minor missteps were limited to accessories, such as the clumsy e-Reader, or Nintendo 64DD that never released outside of Japan. But entire consoles have flopped too, which stings much more. When…
