Valve is heading towards a major UK courtroom fight over how much PC gamers pay on Steam — and, more importantly, why they pay it. A £656m collective legal action has been cleared to proceed, accusing the company of using its dominant position to keep prices higher than they should be and to “lock in” […]

Data breaches have become so routine that many people treat them like background noise — an annoying email, a password reset, then back to life. But the real danger often arrives later, when leaked details are stitched together into targeted attacks that feel personal, plausible, and hard to stop. A BBC investigation into scam victims

The UK’s advertising watchdog has once again drawn a bright line around cryptocurrency marketing — not by banning crypto itself, but by policing the story an ad tells. In a decision against Coinbase, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the campaign crossed a boundary by implying crypto could ease people’s cost-of-living concerns, while downplaying the

Heat pumps have become a symbol of home decarbonisation — the box that replaces a gas boiler. But the bigger climate lever is not one house at a time. It’s heat at city scale: networks of pipes that deliver hot water to thousands of buildings, fed by industrial-scale heat pumps that pull energy from rivers,

A lot of “automation stories” get told like a simple battle: machines versus people. But in food manufacturing — especially anything involving sticky caramel, fragile dough, hygiene rules, and brand nostalgia — the real question is different: Where does automation create value without destroying the product’s identity? The BBC’s reporting on biscuit and bread production

Most people think “fire safety” means alarms, sprinklers, and evacuation routes. But there’s a quieter layer underneath: the chemistry of the materials inside a building — whether a surface flashes, smoulders, drips, or forms a protective char. A new wave of flame-retardant technologies is emerging because the old answer (many 20th‑century retardants) came with an

Sizing in fashion is broken in a very particular way: it’s not just that the labels are “wrong”, it’s that they’re inconsistent by design. A size 10 in one brand can map to a size 14 in another, and even within the same brand the fit can drift across seasons and factories. The result is

Summary: Data centres are running hotter as AI workloads push chips to higher power levels, and “just blow more air” is increasingly not enough. That’s why the industry is moving toward liquid cooling — from cold plates and microfluidic channels to full-on “showers” and immersion baths — to keep servers stable, cut energy used for

Summary: Excel is 40 years old and still everywhere—even as organisations talk about modern data platforms and AI. The reason isn’t that Excel is “best practice.” It’s that Excel is a universal interface: flexible, teachable, and fast for small analyses. The danger is when spreadsheets quietly become production systems—undocumented macros, fragile workflows, and critical decisions

Summary: A small but growing number of companies are experimenting with co-CEO leadership structures—splitting the top job between two people. Supporters say it reduces hubris, shares the workload, and lets leaders specialise. Critics say it can create confusion, power struggles, and unclear accountability. This is not just a corporate curiosity. It reflects a world where
