It was always going to be tough for Leeds to get something from Arsenal in last Saturday’s clash at Elland Road. But losing 4-0 meant a rather abrupt end to an unbeaten home run that had stretched back to November when they let a 1-0 lead slip in a 2-1 defeat to third-placed Aston Villa. Leeds have clearly picked up since switching systems under Daniel Farke, but the negative spin is that they’ve now won just one of their last seven Premier…

The tech giant is overhauling its security leadership, placing greater emphasis on protecting core systems amid accelerating AI adoption, announcing two senior-level moves that place both security and engineering quality under direct CEO oversight. The update resets who owns security execution and raises the bar for how Microsoft measures reliability across its platform. In a message to employees, CEO Satya Nadella said Hayete Gallot will return to Microsoft as executive vice president of security, while longtime security chief Charlie Bell will move into a role focused on engineering…
If you haven’t yet played Alan Wake 2, here’s your chance to immerse yourself in its terrors for free. Prime members can play it this month on Amazon’s Luna cloud gaming service at no additional charge.The “fantastic” Alan Wake 2 oozes “psychedelic terror,” as Engadget’s Jessica Conditt put it in our review. The 2023 horror-survival game uses a dual-protagonist motif, alternating between the lost author Wake and the stoic FBI agent Saga Anderson. It “tells a twisted, serpentine story of paranormal murder, shifting realities and demonic possession, with two brooding investigators at its core.” Not a bad way to sublimate…
