    Paramount delays the sequel to Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One.

    It was scheduled to debut in June 2024, but it’s now set to release on May 23rd, 2025, according to The Hollywood Reporter. I didn’t say “Part Two” in my headline because apparently this sequel is getting a new subtitle. (Smart choice!)

    That’s good news for Signal.

    In an analysis of Signal’s quantum-resistant protocol upgrade, PQXDH, cryptography company Cryspen says it “did not find any serious issues in the design of the protocol.” It found “a few issues” that Signal fixed in a new version of the protocol.

    The protocol will work if you and the people you’re talking to are all on the latest version of Signal, according to Signal Foundation president Meredith Whittaker. “Soon, we’ll upgrade everyone, so ALL comms will be protected,” Whittaker says.

    Roblox is taking less money from subscriptions, but for a limited time.

    If a developer introduces subscriptions before December 15th, Roblox says it will only take a 15 percent cut of those subscriptions instead of 30 percent, according to a post on its developer forum. However, that reduced rate will only be in place through March 15th, 2024. And, importantly, the “fee savings” from the reduced rate will be paid in a lump sum in April, Roblox says.

    You can read more about Roblox’s subscription plans in my post from September.
