Windows 11 Released
Microsoft had previously stated that Windows 10 would be the final version of the most popular operating system. Windows, representing a whooping 71 percent share of the PC, tablet, and console market. However, Windows 11 is taking the world by storm with its brand new features, such as app snapping, creating custom windows layouts, a revamped Microsoft Store, and future support for running Android applications natively. Bugs have been reported, some users having trouble upgrading to the latest version, the start menu not functioning correctly, or a decrease in performance of up to 15% on machines using AMD processors. You can upgrade to Windows 11 for free from Windows 10. >>Source

Netflix Gaming
Netflix has just announced the acquisition of Night School Studio, the game developer and publisher that created OXENFREE. Netflix is making ad-free licensed and original mobile games for subscribers, allowing them to play their favorite characters from films or series available on the platform for free. This expansion represents the company's most significant advance in a new kind of entertainment since it began streaming in 2007. The Twitter account Netflix Geeked stated that Netflix games were already available on Android phones in Poland, Spain, and Italy. Two of these games being Stranger Things 1984 and Stranger Things 3: The Game. What Netflix series would you like to see adapted into a video game? >>Source

Twitch Hacked
On Tuesday, October 5, a hacker declared to have stolen sensitive information from the streaming platform. He claimed to have in his possession some of the site's source code, SDKs, the history of payments made to streamers, and unreleased software and tools used by the company's security team. He also said that other data had been stolen and that the information released is only the "first part." Passwords have not been leaked, even though some users were asked to change theirs following the data breach. These events follow weeks of protests for twitch to improve its service, the main reason being the lack of action against bot-driven "hate raids." >>Source
