- Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts via the cunning plan of asking Instagram for them. (404 Media)

- Multiple laptop makers are preparing to launch models with Nvidia's new RTX Spark chip and eye-watering price tags. (The Verge)
Look at models with AMD's AI Max chips for a guideline, and add between 50% and 100% on top of that.
- Wizards of the Coast are reportedly in the process of remaking the classic computer games Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. (WCCFTech)
Baldur's Gate 3, developed externally by Larian, was a massive hit, but Larian found Wizards of the Coast so toxic to work with that they want nothing to do with DLC or a sequel.
- AMD's Radeon 9070 GRE is a thing that exists. (Tom's Hardware)
Actually it has existed as a China-only product for a year now and the only change was the global release, so there are already plenty of reviews of its technical capabilities. What's new is the price, and the price is awful.
