    Murena’s privacy-focused mobile OS improves tablet support and parental controls.

    The company behind the Murena 2 smartphone and de-Googled Pixel Tablet has announced a new version of its operating system: /e/OS 3.0. It will make better use of the larger screens on tablets and give parents new tools for limiting screen time and app access.

    The update also introduces a way to locate a missing device using SMS text messages without the need for internet access, and a new search engine called Murena Find.

    GameSir’s $30 Nova 2 Lite controller includes Hall effect sticks and triggers.

    It’s almost a bit boring when compared to the GameSir’s $69.99 Tarantula Pro that can change the layout of its face button labels. But for $29.99, the Nova 2 Lite could be a solid alternative to 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2C with Hall effect joysticks and triggers that can be locked to a shorter travel for FPS games.

    It also includes an extra pair of remappable back buttons and is compatible with the Switch, PCs, iOS, and Android.

    <em>The GameSir Nova 2 Lite is available for preorder in midnight gray and luminous white color options with shipping expected to start on June 3rd.</em>
    <em>The controller’s back buttons can be reprogrammed to mirror the functionality of other buttons, or to trigger macros of several button presses in sequence.</em>
    <em>The Hall effect triggers can be individually locked to a shorter travel using sliding switches.</em>
    <em>The Nova 2 Lite has a larger 600mAh battery than the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C (480 mAh) and is compatible with an optional $14.99 charging dock.</em>

    Spirit Halloween is struggling to deal with tariffs too.

    For the past few years, Spirit Halloween has held a grand opening celebration in the summer at its flagship store in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, where it showcases its latest costumes and props. But the event has been canceled this year, the retailer recently announced on Instagram, blaming “international disruptions and supply chain challenges.”

    Tariffs may have ruined the party, but Spirit Halloween still plans to open over 1,500 stores this year, starting in mid-August.
