Rank 48663Meta is testing a way to hide spoilers on Threads, according to a new post from Mark Zuckerberg. The feature lets you obscure text or an image so that they're only viewable once they're tapped or clicked.
In the current version being tested, you have to highlight your chosen text or tap on the image and then tap "Mark spoiler" to hide it. Inside the Threads app there's even a swirling particle animation that covers text and images before flittering away when you tap on them.
Meta
Meta suggests the feature is being added to make it easier to talk about ongoing shows without accidentally spoiling anything. The platform has a growing community of users who use Threads to discuss media, and an algorithmic feed that makes it pretty easy to get a spoiler dumped in front of you. Not many social media platforms outside of Reddit offer a way to obscure spoilers, either. Instead, users often have to turn to more general moderation tools like muting words or phrases to avoid learning things before they've watched a new movie or show.
The new spoiler feature doesn't appear to be widely available yet, but it's just the latest in a series of changes Meta has been experimenting with in Threads over the last few months. The biggest being the addition of a dedicated DM inbox. Up until this point messaging someone on Threads sent you to Instagram DMs, but Meta is now testing a separate Threads DM inbox in Hong Kong, Thailand and Argentina.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/threads-is-testing-out-a-way-to-hide-spoilers-182346919.html?src=rss

Rank 48667Security researchers claim Anubis ransomware is adding a file wiperThe wiper reduces all files to 0 KB, irreversibly destroying themThis could be an additional pressure point during negotiationsAnubis, a relatively new Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation, added a new feature to its encryptor that irreversibly destroys all encrypted files on the compromised system.Cybersecurity researchers Trend Micro has published a new in-depth report about the operation, revealing the group is currently working on adding new features to the encryptor, among which is the file-wiping ability.“What further sets Anubis apart from other RaaS and lends an edge to its operations is its use of a file wiping feature, designed to sabotage recovery efforts even after encryption,” Trend Micro said. “This destructive tendency adds pressure on victims and raises the stakes of an already damaging attack.”Pressuring the victimsWhen the threat actors activate the feature, the wiper erases the contents of the files and reduces their size to 0 KB. The filenames and the structure remain intact, which means it’s impossible to recover the files.The best way to stay protected is, obviously, to tighten up on security and minimize the chances of getting a ransomware infection. However, out of an abundance of caution, businesses should have a separate, possibly air-gapped backup, that would allow them to restore the files safely.Usually, ransomware actors would exfiltrate sensitive files from their target’s IT infrastructure, and then encrypt the systems.They would then demand money, usually in bitcoin, in exchange for the decryption key that returns the victims access to their locked files. Since many companies deny paying the ransom, and instead keep an updated backup that can be restored in case of an attack, the hackers started stealing files and threatening to release them to the public.Releasing sensitive files is, in many cases, more disruptive than encryption, since it can lead to class-action lawsuits, data watchdogs fines, loss of credibility among customers and partners, and loss of competitive edge after IP leaks.Besides the file wiper, which is definitely a big threat, ransomware actors also sometimes engage in DDoS attacks, as well, to put pressure on both the front-end and the back-end of the business. In some instances, they would also call the victims on the phone in an attempt to get them to pay the ransom demand.Via BleepingComputerYou might also likeThis wiper malware takes data destruction to a whole new levelTake a look at our guide to the best authenticator appWe've rounded up the best password managers

Rank 48668The Four Seasons season 2: key information- Officially renewed in May- Main cast expected to return- No official trailer released yet- Plot details remain under wraps- Writing for season 2 has commencedThe Four Seasons season 2 is officially on the way, thanks to a swift renewal just days after the show premiered on Netflix.Based on the 1981 film of the same name, season 1 followed six friends, made up of three married couples, as they vacationed together during each season of the year – four trips, four seasons.Over eight episodes, the couples experienced the highs, lows and laughs of being long-term friends and long-term lovers. Until, during the final season of winter, tragedy struck the group and the devastation threatened to tear them apart. Fortunately, it seemed to bring them closer together. Although, how about that Ginny twist?Season 2 will take what co-showrunners Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield lovingly crafted in the first run and hurtle viewers through another rollercoaster of emotions on one of the best streaming services.Here's what we know so far about The Four Seasons season 2 release date, predicted cast, plot and more.The Four Seasons season 2: is there a release date?A post shared by Netflix US (@netflix)A photo posted by on When it comes to The Four Seasons season 2 release date, well, there isn't one just yet. But, the show was officially renewed on May 14, just under two weeks after season 1 premiered on Netflix.In the announcement on Netflix's Instagram, the words "It's time for another trip" appear alongside clips from season 1 of the cast discussing going on vacation again with Anne suggesting "someplace warm".The show's co-creators and co-showrunners Fey, Fisher and Wigfield told The Hollywood Reporter: "We are so grateful that audiences worldwide share our love of cozy sweaters, drinks by the ocean, and picking fights in a hot tub. See you on our next vacation together!"No word yet on The Four Seasons season 2 filming though, so I'd predict that we won't see the return of the show until at least mid to late 2026.The Four Seasons season 2: has a trailer been released? With season 2 yet to commence filming, there's no official trailer to share (Image credit: Netflix)There's no The Four Seasons season 2 trailer yet, which isn't all that surprising considering the cast and crew haven't started filming.For season 1, a teaser dropped in mid-March with the official full trailer landing only a couple of weeks before the show launched on Netflix. So, I'll keep an eye out and update here in what I imagine will be 2026.The Four Seasons season 2: predicted castThe main cast all predicted to return (Image credit: Netflix)I'm almost certain that for The Four Seasons season 2 cast, the main characters will all reprise their roles (bar one obvious emission):Tina Fey as KateWill Forte as JackColman Domingo as DannyMarco Calvani as ClaudeKerri Kenney-Silver as AnneErika Henningsen as GinnyJulia Lester as LilaIt's pretty much a given that the main cast listed above will return considering they're the core of the entire show. Especially considering Wigfield told TVLine if the show was renewed for season 2 (which, of course, it now has been): "It wouldn't be, like, an anthology. We would keep our group because I think that's what makes the show so great, this particular group."What isn't a given is whether Steve Carell (Nick) would return at all, given his shocking demise in season 1, but there's always a chance of flashbacks. After all, there's a long history between the friends he left behind and there may well be story left to tell.While Nick and Anne's daughter, Lila, starred in a number of episodes it's not clear whether she'd be returning, so we'll wait to confirm when we hear more.The Four Seasons season 2: story synopsis and rumorsGinny's pregnancy opens new doors for The Four Seasons season 2 (Image credit: Netflix)Full spoilers for The Four Seasons season 1 to follow. Plus, potential spoilers for season 2.The Four Seasons season 1 brought comedy and a breadth of emotion with the six friends vacationing together over the course of a year.And over that year, a lot happened. Like Nick leaving his wife Anne for a much-younger girlfriend, Ginny. And then Nick suddenly dying in the second-to-last episode. Oh, and then Ginny telling the group that she is in fact pregnant with Nick's baby. Excuse us while we try and ground ourselves ready for season 2.With so much to unpack, we imagine the friends will literally be packing and unpacking their bags ready for four more vacations across four more seasons of the year with Tudum telling viewers to "settle in for another winter, spring, summer and fall."More seasons means more vacations (Image credit: Netflix)And we'd predict that those vacation spots will be entirely new ones. Unless, of course, Ginny can lure them all back to the Eco Resort...Other than where season 1 left viewers, there's not much known about the season 2 plot and that's probably because they only headed back into the writer's room in May.Though Tina Fey told The Hollywood Reporter, when it comes to writing season 2: "The writers have been very generous a lot of what you saw in season one, a lot is obviously from the movie but a lot also came from all of our lives. Adding: "We are kind of starting from scratch."To this, Fey's co-creator and co-showrunner Wigfield expanded: "We set up fun dynamics in the finale. Ginny is pregnant, and this friend group is kind of moving on in the wake of their friend's death. There is going to be really interesting stuff to play and already we're starting to talk about it and it's really exciting."And when it comes to Claude's part in season 2, in conversation with Variety Marco Calvani expressed his hopes for what's next: "Well, it would be fun to see Danny and Claude's group of gay friends."But you know, the group will be dealing with a baby now. I have a feeling Claude will confront his desire for a family. It would also be cool to have some scenes with Ginny. We're a bit of the outsiders in the group."Will there be more seasons of The Four Seasons?Will the friends reunite for another season? (Image credit: Netflix)As of right now, there's really no saying whetherThe Four Seasons will return for another series.Since season 2 hasn't commenced filming yet. In fact, it's still in the writing stages. So, it seems unlikely that there will be any intel on whether season 3 is a possibility until a little while down the road.The renewal for season 2 happened just days after season 1's release, so if we're to hear any thoughts on season 3, I imagine it won't be until at least 2026. What I do know is that I've never written the word season so many times in my life.For more Netflix-based coverage, read our guides on Nobody Wants This season 2, Stranger Things season 5, Arcane season 2, and One Piece season 2.

Rank 48671The Roomba 105 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock has been discounted to $280 as part of an extended Father's Day sale. This is a record-low price, as it usually costs $450. Math tells me that's a cool $170 off.
As the name suggests, this lil robovac will automatically head to the included debris dock to empty its contents. It'll do this after every cleaning session and the company says the canister is large enough to go 75 days before requiring manual disposal. However, results will likely vary on that front. I'm talking to you, pet owners.
This is a solid effort by Roomba, which is a company that appeared numerous times in our list of the best robot vacuums. The suction power is on point and the dock includes a filtration bag that traps allergens. It ships with a multi-surface bristle brush and an edge-sweeping brush. Of course, it also provides access to the company's LiDAR software for navigation. It can even clean in the dark.
There's one downside. This is a fantastic vacuum, but it is just a vacuum. The Roomba 105 is not a hybrid unit, so there's no mopping functionality. For that, you'll have to spring for a pricier model.

Rank 48672The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally available in the US, but good luck finding it in stock anywhere online. The $450 console officially went up for sale on June 5, and several retailers have offered it both online and in-store in the week since. While millions of people have been able to buy theirs so far, online inventory has dried up considerably since launch day. There have been restocks at Target and Best Buy, but they didn't last long, as one might have expected. You may also be able to grab a bundle at Costco if you’re a member there, but you might have a better time doing so in store than online.
And that may be the way to go at this point, broadly speaking. You may have better luck venturing into a physical store and walking out with a Switch 2 than you will buying one online. If you have a local Target, Best Buy, Walmart or GameStop —the four official retailers Nintendo lists on its store page — it can't hurt to stop by and see if they have any in stock. A few retailers, GameStop being one of them, are even directing online customers to "find a store" near them that has the console in stock. If you're still on the hunt, we’ve rounded up all of the latest information we could find on how to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 and where you can pick one up.
Where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2
Best Buy began selling the Switch 2 at its retail locations on June 5. It previously said it wouldn't sell the handheld at its online store during launch week, but it made additional consoles available on June 11 around 12PM ET. That restock lasted for the better part of an hour and required in-store pickup, but the device is now sold out again.
Walmart also began online purchases at midnight ET on June 5. Currently, the Mario Kart World bundle is out of stock, while the console alone is listed for much higher than its standard $450 price tag — with limited quantities available. We wouldn't recommend buying these; instead, wait for the console to be listed at its regular MSRP. Naturally, the world's largest retailer is also selling the console at its brick-and-mortar locations, though the company has noted that quantities are limited and inventory will vary by location.
Target had the Switch 2 in stores on June 5 and restocked its online inventory for at least a couple of hours starting around 3:30AM ET on June 6. It then had another restock on June 12 around 2:30PM ET, but that appears to have died out in less than an hour. It still looks to be fully sold out as we write this, but you should see if there's any stock at the stores closest to you just to be safe.
GameStop has advertised in-store availability, though exactly how much stock your local store may have will vary by location. Online, the device has been unavailable for the past week, with the listings for the base console and Mario Kart bundle now pointing to a "Find a Store" page. We saw a $625 bundle that includes Mario Kart World, a microSD Express card and a few other accessories pop up a bit more frequently than the standard SKUs, but it's no longer listed (and it was kind of a raw deal anyway).
You may still have some luck at certain membership-based retailers. A Mario Kart World bundle at Costco that includes a 12-month Switch Online subscription has gone in and out of stock since launch day. Sam's Club has had a bundle without the Switch Online sub as well, though it's out of stock now. We also saw the console at BJ's early on June 5, but it's no longer live there.
Verizon briefly had the Switch 2 available on launch day, but that's dried up, and only those with Verizon service were able to order.
Amazon hasn't had any form of Switch 2 listing on its website, nor has it listed first-party Switch 2 games like Mario Kart World. The company didn't take pre-orders for the Switch 2 either, so it's unclear if and when it will sell the device.
Newegg has listed the Switch 2 on its site for several weeks, but it's given no indication as to when it'll begin sales. It previous showed a couple listings from a third-party seller, but at massively inflated prices.
With all of these stores, we've seen the Mario Kart World bundle available in greater quantities online than the base console, which costs $50 less. But given that Mario Kart is the Switch 2's biggest launch game and retails for $80 on its own, that may not be the worst thing.
Nintendo, meanwhile, is only offering the Switch 2 via an invite system. This requires you to have been a Switch Online member for at least 12 months and logged at least 50 hours of Switch 1 playtime as of April 2. It can't hurt to sign up if you meet the criteria, but don't expect it to bear fruit immediately — it's taken weeks for many people who registered in April to receive their invite.
You can find a list of every Switch 2 retail listing we could find below. Just be aware that this is meant to be a reference, not a rundown of everywhere the device is available right this second.

Where to buy Nintendo Switch 2 games and accessories
Nintendo is selling a number of Switch 2 accessories alongside the console, from its (pricey) Pro Controller to cases to cameras for the new GameChat feature. Most of these became available on June 5. The same goes for games like Mario Kart World and the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Another big Switch 2 release, Donkey Kong Bananza, won't be available until mid-July but is still up for pre-order now.
As of Friday afternoon, just about all Switch 2 games are broadly available. Stock for the accessories remains a little spottier, but most devices are still available at multiple retailers. Nintendo's official Switch 2 carrying cases have bee the main exceptions, so you may need to look to third-party alternatives if you want some protection for your console right away.

This is where the optimism comes in.For those who don’t know, the RAM requirement for Windows 11 is 4GB - and just over half (53%) of those asked weren’t sure how much RAM their device has, but 40% said they were sure - although that’s not quite the whole picture.We asked those 40% how much RAM they have, and about 1 in 4 respondents gave us an inconceivable answer - either far too high, or far too low.Most were ridiculously optimistic, like 1TB, which even industrial set-ups would be jealous of, so it's really not clear how many of us are ready or able to upgrade.While Windows 11 adoption may finally be on the rise, there are still plenty of users yet to make the change. Microsoft is still urging users to update though, as the firm has pushed endless AI features into desktops and laptops across the globe to try and entice users to switch.You might also likeCan’t upgrade to Windows 11?

Rank 48681If you're anything like me since getting your hands on a PlayStation Portal, you'll have been constantly looking for ways to kit it out and make the most of the handheld device.There are some obvious ways to add some bling or extra functionality, or protection to the Portal with an accessory. As soon as it was announced, third-party brands were clambering to try and offer solutions for screen protectors, cases, charging cables, wraps, and so on.There were even two close-enough-to-dedicated audio accessories released by Sony in the form of the Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headset.However, if you always have the handheld out and want something convenient, functional, and aesthetically pleasing to sit your Portal on, then the array of custom charging docks that have been made has been an ideal fit.And I may have finally found the one that will complete my setup - even though it's not actually that brand new.Accessorizin'In the absence of an official product, PowerA's officially licensed charging station looks set to be the last missing piece to my Portal setup-shaped puzzle.Before now, I'd kitted my beloved Portal out with a screen protector, the Pulse Explore earbuds, a case that could also carry the earbuds and other bits, and even some Kontrol Freek thumb grips and wraps for accessibility reasons.But the one thing that was missing was always a convenient means to charge my Portal - especially with its slightly awkward and sunken-in USB-C port - and a stand that meant I didn't have to scramble to get the Portal back into a case every time I was done with it.As a result, PowerA's charging station is likely to be a game changer for me. Its design is already in keeping with the PlayStation 5 family aesthetic, it's powered by a USB cable only so there's no need for a wall socket, it sits robustly and solidly on a surface with a weighted base, houses the Portal incredibly easily, and it has the officially licensed stamp of approval from Sony. And it only costs $37.99 or £34.99!What else could I possibly need for my Portal at this point?Mine is arriving in the mail soon, and I can't wait for it to be the finishing touch to my Portal's setup - and for it to ensure I'm never running out of juice, while also looking the part.If you're looking for prices on the PowerA dock wherever you are in the world, then check out the latest and lowest prices below, as found by our automatically updating deal-hunting tech.You might also like...PS5 Pro review: a high-performing enthusiast console with a pricey sting in the tailBest PS5 headsets: hear better on PlayStation 5PS5 Slim review: slimmer, but just as mighty

Rank 48682Heavily camouflaged versions of the new Model S and Model Y have been spotted being tested at Germany’s revered, high-performance Nurburgring race circuit, suggesting that upgraded Model S Plaid and Model Y Performance iterants are soon to go on sale.Images first reported by Autocar reveal that the two models are clearly based on the latest generation line-up, with the Model Y sporting the full-width light bar at the front and sleeker side profile, while the the Model S packs the new bumper and grill that arrived with a styling refresh earlier this year.However, the two cars spotted pounding around the Nurburgring clearly feature additional bodywork elements, including more aggressive air ducts on the Model S Plaid and a long ducktail spoiler on the Model Y to minimize drag.In true Tesla style, we have not been given any specification for the upgraded high performance models, although Autocar hints that the Cybertruck’s 800V electrical architecture could drastically improve charging speeds for the review Model S Plaid if it were to be introduced.Despite this, Tesla is expected stick with its dual-motor, all-wheel-drive set-up for the Model Y and a tri-motor set-up for the Model S Plaid, which currently develops a staggering 1,020hp and can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 2.1 seconds, according to some tests.The Model Y Performance will also benefit from the myriad updates that were introduced earlier this year, including a more premium feeling interior, more comfortable seats and improvements in sound deadening and ride quality.Taking back the crown?(Image credit: Tesla)The Tesla Model S Plaid was once the final word in high-performance electric saloons, shocking the world with its ability to run back-to-back hot laps, even going so far as to set a record around the Nurburgring’s Nordschleife circuit.This was toppled by the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT last year, which bettered Tesla’s attempt by an impressive 18 seconds. However, there are more recent threats from China, with Xiaomi’s surprisingly affordable SU7 Ultra taking the title of fastest electric production car this month – even bettering Rimac's hypercar efforts.Electric performance cars have moved on at a pace since the original Model S Plaid arrived in 2021, with the likes of Lucid gaining popularity and Mercedes-AMG poised to release its own super saloon in a matter of weeks.It is a similar story for the Model Y Performance, which occupies the slightly grey area of high performance family SUVs. If launched imminently, it will go up against the formidable Porsche Macan Turbo Electric, as well as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the crossover of all crossovers – the Smart #5 Brabus.Although not destined to be major sellers for Tesla, the introduction of headline-grabbing high-performance models could help repair some of the recent damage to its reputation, which has led to serious slump in sales.You might also likePeugeot reinvents its GTi badge for the EV age – and the E-208 is the best looking electric hot-hatch so farMove over, Rolls-Royce – America’s first homegrown ultra-luxury vehicle in almost a century is here to steal its crownI’ve tried Apple CarPlay Ultra – it fixes everything that’s irritating about CarPlay, but there’s a catch

Rank 48683Apple's WWDC is here and with it comes some of the company's biggest operational developments — along with confirmation of when you can check them out in beta. This year's WWDC brings the awaited news of a visual overhaul that is platform-wide, with changes like round icons on the home screen and Control Center.
The company has launched its first major redesign since iOS 7, calling it "our broadest design update ever." The new uniform design across all devices includes a new material called liquid glass. This translucent design theme shows up across OSes on widgets, icons and even through a new all-clear mode, available alongside the light and dark modes.
Apple has further confirmed the rumors that it's changing the names of its operating systems. So, instead of getting the iOS 19 this fall, it will be the iOS 26, representing Apple's system for the year ahead. The same is true for all other devices' operating systems, like the iPadOS 26, MacOS 26 and so on. However, Apple is sticking with its California-themed names for MacOS, naming the next version Tahoe.
WWDC has revealed a range of iOS 26 updates, including typing indicators for group chats and live translations on iMessage, FaceTime and calls, even if the other person doesn't have an iPhone.
So, when can you see some of these changes for yourself? Betas for all of Apple’s platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS and tvOS) went out on June 9 through the Apple Developer Program, while a public beta should roll our in July through the Apple Beta Software Program.
